DeadAIM 3.0 Released


Recommended Posts

A new version of DeadAIM was released. Below is from the changelog:

The following new features were added:

-Logging - The ability to search by screen names and dates.

-Logging - Log files can be easily saved to another location.

-Logging - Inline images and files are logged.

-Logging - Time stamps are always shown.

-Logging - Text background is shown correctly.

-Logging - The Log Manager now remembers its window size and position.

-Grouping of instant message windows into one tabbed window.

-Cloning; the ability to have more than one AIM client running simultaneously (NT4/2000/XP and higher only).

-DeadAIM can now add a link to its website in your profile so others viewing your information can find out about it.

-DeadAIM group in the start menu that contains a link to the Log Manager.

-"Repair DeadAIM" shortcut in the DeadAIM group that will re-associate DeadAIM with AIM after an upgrade.

-A very small lightweight program is run on system start up to check DeadAIM is associated with AIM correctly.

The following bugs were fixed:

-Logging - Date format in the log manager had an errenous '[' in some locales.

-Logging - If a picture or other binary file was inserted no more conversations were logged that day for that person.

-Logging - If Windows was shutdown or if the user logged off without first closing the IM windows then the conversations would not be saved.

-Logging - Logging could not be disabled.

-Transparency - Docking and undocking the AIM window removed transparency.

-Transparency - Clicking on the area around or using the keys to manipulate the slide control did not work correctly.

-Dependencies on new DLLs caused 2.06 not run on Windows NT 4.0 unless the IE desktop enhancement was installed.

-The installer did not prompt the user to close AIM before installing. This lead to a lot of people thinking DeadAIM did nothing as they hadn't restarted AIM.

-When Apache running on jdennis.net did not respond in a timely fashion after the connection of a socket DeadAIM would crash.

-DeadAIM would not work after upgrading AIM when using AIM's built in upgrade functionality.

-On Windows 9x platforms the user would be prompted to report their installation everytime AIM was loaded until they clicked "no".

Notes for release:

DeadAIM will now automatically check for a new version once every 24 hours instead of every sign-on. Manual checking for a new version is not effected by this change.

deadAIM had, as of now, more features than AIM+ and the tabbed IM's is what people have been waiting for for a long time and now the support for cloning brings it up to and beyond AIM++.

thats. the reason i didn't want to switch from AIM+ to deadAIM was because, at the time, there was no logging feature. but once jdennis incorporated it. i immediately switched over, and have been very satisfied with it. AIM+ was too bulky for me (having to use a seperate application).

though i look forward to seeing what this new AIM+ 3.0 has to offer.

btw, where was this information about released AIM+ 3.0 on wednesday, learned from? i didn't see anything on the big-o-software website about it.

Just downloaded this and it worx great, no more need for my tabbed im window patch hahaa, Finally jdennis updated his site too looks much more better and I like the forum he put there too. This one is gonna be a tough one for big-o to beat, guess we will have to see which one is better tomorrow.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
