AmigAIM BETA Version 0.9411 Released
The new betaversion 0.9411 of AmigaAIM, the AOL Instant Messenger for Amiga, is available for download at
the usual place.
Here the original message:
AmigAIM 0.9411 Beta (24 Mar 2001)
- This is a rather small update, compared to what is actually operational (or partially operational)
in my latest unreleased version,
which will probably never be publicly released, as a complete rewrite is in progress
- Instant Messages are now sent to the server in V4 format. (shouldn't even be a noticeable change)
- System login to Server now uses Version 4.1 protocol, this means that the
password is now sent using a new protocol which encodes the password before
being sent to the server (using an MD5 Hashing scheme), therefore increasing the
security during system login.
NOTE: As mentioned on the Mailing List, this will probably
be the last release for quite a while, as I started rewriting the entire program from scratch about
a week ago
BTW: As of my last internal release before starting the rewrite,
I had worked out and implemented several items. File transfer, search by common interest,
selection of common interests to send to server for your own profile, etc... Hopefully,
all these items will also be implemented in my rewrite :-) - In the last operational internal version,
the file transfer code has so many bugs it was deemed easier to rewrite the whole program.
