aMSN 0.95 is out

[Dukeicon]

After more than a year since 0.94, aMSN 0.95 is finally released! [25th December] New features include webcam support, tabbed chat windows, improved skin and plugin support, new file transfer protocol, many new plugins (like Ink and Nudge support), an improved bug report system, as well as LOTS of bugfixes! We hope it was worth all this wait! :)

We also have a new website, which not only looks nicer than the previous one, but is also a lot easier to use and find what you need!

And, best of all, aMSN is still ad-free! :)

aMSN is an free open source MSN Messenger clone, featuring:

? Display pictures

? Custom emoticons

? Multi-language support (around 40 languages currently supported)

? Sign in to more than one account at once

? File transfers

? Group support

? Normal, and animated emoticons with sounds

? Chat logs

? Event alarms

? Webcam support (Detachable Webcams!!!)

? History in color

? Ability to autoclose the filetransfer window when it is finished

? New plugins log window (Alt-P)

? Plugins compatible with supported languages

? Faster loading skin window

? Skins in chatwindow

? Resizable chatwindow bottom

? When you add a new user, you can define in which group you want to add them

? When a contact change status, the top of the chat window changes color ( green for away, grey for offline, etc.)

? New panel GUI to alert when there's a new aMSN version

? Possibility to download the new release directly by aMSN

? Automatically update language files and plugins from the web

? New gui for deleting users (also possible to block on deletion)

? Possible to add notes for each user (XML)

? Support for MSN Mobile service

? Tabbed windows so you can group conversations using tabs

? Status is displayed inside a frame, so it won't dissapear when you scroll

? Display picture in notification alert (like MSN 7)

? Statistics for history (logging)

? Now possible to choose any state for your login status (before it was only possible to login invisible or online)

? Timestamping

But that's not all! More features can be added to aMSN with plugins, or for the adventurous, completely change the look of aMSN with different skins!

I can't find the Ink support...

[JAbad28]

Doesn't seem worthy enough but keep working on it.

[Lan88]

haven't seen this before...

[migo]

Found the Ink support, doesn't seem to work for sending to MSN, but otherwise everything works fine. Has really bad load times, but otherwise works well.

[Alex Suraci]

I might use it if it didn't rely in skins for a bunch of stuff (scrollbars etc). :/

[viciv]

oh.. it looks like MSN messenger 7.5..

[Echilon]

It used to add features, but aMSN doesn't do anything Messenger plus doesn't do as far as I can see.

The Mac version of aMSN has webcam support, so thats good to hear :)

[Andy07]

Great, i've been looking for something decent like this :D

[Toology]

I think I'd like this tons more than the official client, thanks for the heads-up.

[er0n]

How could they bey so stupid to call their application aMSN? Even if this were to become slightly successful Microsoft will come down on them like a ton of bricks.

[migo]

Then they change the name.

Anyways, I may have to try this out. Last time I used it was ages ago

It does? Looks nothing close to MSN Messenger 7.5 to me, going by that screenshot anyways. Looks very plain.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

looks pretty good, last i heard, they were shutting down :p

nice to see them back, and with a windows version too :)
