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.
