prathapml Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 November 12th, 2004 - 10:00AM EST Gaim 1.0.3 was released. It's another bug fix only release. See the ChangeLog.Gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks. Gaim users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time. Gaim supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more. Gaim runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq). Gaim integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1's system tray, as well as Windows's own system tray. This allows you to work with Gaim without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times. Gaim is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent.home-page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrowder32 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I like it. Just started using last week. Better than Trillian. Keep up the good work. Silent install switch is /S in case you are wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
