Version 1.5.6
 License:   Other Open Source License
 Updated:   July 9, 2004
 Source:   Source Available
All the important changes from 1.5.2 to 1.5.6:
  • First BeBits update in nearly three years. w00t.
  • As you may have noticed, maintainership has changed hands.
  • First, some old bugs, all brought to me by NathanW (via BeShare):
    • Parts of the "Get Info" window were created in the wrong order, causing display errors on Dano and its ilk.
    • A fencepost error in the HTML parsing code made the formatting go screwy.
  • The networking threads have been fixed to syncronise properly during logon.
  • Semi-real rate limiting, for the internal components. It's still possible for you to exceed the limit and get that nice message from the server.
  • Server-stored buddy lists!
  • Changed authentication mechanisms to the newer, MD5-based one. Otherwise, we can't support new features...
  • @mac.com screen name support. Both as a user and on the buddy list.
  • Typing notification. Will be made optional later.
  • Turkish and Italian translations added.
  • Information bubbles fixed for Dano and up.
There are many things planned for upcoming releases. Most of them are features, unless I get bug reports. I'm planning for a sort of weekend-long code-a-thon, because my ideas seem to come all at once.

Version 1.5.2

A relatively minor update... not as exciting as the recent "Guess the Number" craze, I grant you, and it has no CyberPsychic(tm) technology... but it might be worth a download anyway.
  • Now works on the latest version of BONE (thanks to Peter Folk)
  • Shiny new German language file (thanks to Daniel Warmuth)
  • A few really, really minor bug fixes (thanks to... um, me, I guess)

All the stuff BeAIM 1.5 had, plus...

+ Fixed the really stupid "backwards /me" bug
+ Fixed a UI problem with the French translation in the Buddy List Editor
+ Now installs into /boot/apps instead of /boot/beos/apps (whoops!)
+ Added "How to translate BeAIM" file

Once again, source will come at a later date, as soon as I have the time to package it up.

 Updated:   May 28, 2001

Quite a lot has changed in BeAIM 1.5! Virtually every part of the code has been reworked, and the end result is *much* nicer than the previous version. Here's a short list of what's new:

+ Many, many, many, many bugfixes
+ New graphics and sounds that are AOL-free
+ Drag-and-drop buddy list reordering (in the Buddy List Editor)
+ Much more stable
+ Can be translated into any language (comes with English and French)
+ A bunch of user interface improvements
+ And a whole lot more!

Source code will be available as soon as I can get it all packaged up, etc...

At long last, BeAIM 1.0 is now available! Check out all the new features on the BeAIM BeBits page.

  • Full support for away messages, warning, and blocking

    I know that BeAIM has been a long time in coming, but development is back on track and it's better than ever. I hope you enjoy it!

    No, before you ask, file transfer and group chat aren't supported yet. However, I plan to add them in a future release (keep in mind that there is only one developer on the project... :-) Many more features are also coming soon. Go to the web page for more info and updates.

    Now far more R4.5 friendly! Sound works, doesn't crash nearly as often, and your deskbar will no longer be cluttered with orange men whenever you close BeAIM... :-)
