AIM Triton beta 0.1.12

[ahfunaki]

sweet...

I'm having some issues with it as of now, like the tab names arent showing up...

[Veedems Veteran]

Whoever said this isn't the new AIM 6.0 is mistaken.

I'm the one who posted the news.. and here ya go, I got it from an official AIM Programmer's blog on AOL.

sweet :) now I'm happy again lol. I was really hoping this would, indeed, be the direction the nw AIM was heading to.

They're using IE to render IMs? *cough* Miranda's IEView plugin *cough*

And I know I saw the vertical tabs idea somewhere in middle_man's forums a couple of months ago...

Still though, I can't wait till this goes final. :D

**** YEAH!!!

I've been using AIM since it was introduced to me back in 2000... been using it ever since. I even tried other chat programs like yahoo, msn & icq. I don't even think they're as good as AIM.

[russ0943]

i like the direction they are go'n with this.

i'll probably stick with 5.whatever the newest one is, with aimadhack for now.

it seems a little resource hoggy like typical beta progs.

I will def use it once they iron out everything.

As I said, regardless of that blog that was posted, this is NOT AIM 6. It has been confirmed by official beta staff and by the staffer running this test. This may develop into a different test, but Triton, as it stands will be packaged with another test currently in beta and released in conjunction with that.

Could you be any more vague.

The program looks like aim, it feels like aim, and it acts like aim. By god, I call it AIM.

If you read the AIM dev's blog, you'd know that he said it's a new AIM from the ground up. That said, it makes perfect sense that the version number is 0.1.12.

[f0rbez]

This clients been pretty interesting. I just noticed that all of my old contacts from when I had AOL years and years ago, are once again available in my address book.

I didn't even realize I still had an address book. :wacko:

[Firespite]

Not to tick you off or anything, but can you show me proof? You just edited with out even proving anything. I had an offical AIM team member/coder say it was AIM 6.0 Beta 1. You have someone random dude who just says its not. So the version number is 0.1.12 who cares? Have you ever heard of test builds and code names. Just because it doesn't have 6 in it doesn't mean its not the real thing.

I'm not saying I'm absolutly right or know it all, but come on, it has AIM written all over it. And if you even read the site, it says all the features from 5.9 haven't been implented yet because its being rewritten from scratch. How can it be a brand new program if it's written from scratch? They will be implented as the beta moves on. So, really, do your homework before messing with something.

[imtoomuch]

I can't believe you guys are all beside yourself over this thing. It may have had a nice facelift and some features additions and changes, but there's still one huge problem. I'll stick with Trillian.

Considering it is from AOL, yea, we are beside ourselves. It isn't often that AOL does something right like this, and this is the first beta. It shows they actually listen too.

AIM 5.5 + Dead AIM 4.5 own. Tabbed windows + custom buddy list + cloning + logging + more...?

Yes please.

[y0sh]

This is nice.

To be honest. I use AIM 5.5 and I have DeadAIM 4.5. I get logging, no ads, tabbed windows and a fast interface. It seems to just work and as the poster above me said.. IT OWNS! . The only issue I have with it is the looks. AIM is so ugly - and maybe that's deliberate? Maybe they don't want to deter people with an overly cluttered/new interface. The aesthetics is my only problem with my deadaim+5.5 setup. Other than that, I haven't found anything that works right.

This Triton is nice looking. However, where are the HTML profiles? lol. That's the reason why I never switched to gaim/miranda/trillian.

Btw Bawx.. what do you mean custom BList? :p

its a very early beta. breathe homey and consider the fact that, like timdorr said, debugging is probably on and such.

It is such a drastic change from the original AIM that they probably felt it could not be labeled off as another AIM 5.x
