bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 10, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2002 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.

lrnecnaecge Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 sweet... i've been using this since 5.0 came out because aim+ hasn't caught up to 5.1 yet (i know only 2 days more until it comes out) it'll make a nice upgrade until i can see what aim+ 3.0 has :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 10, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2002 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++.

SOOPAH256 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 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.

Weasel Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Seems to work fine for me except a couple of slight known issues: It doens't log chat rooms If you use the tabed window feature, you cant switch between windows using a keyboard shortcut, you hafta use the mouse.
