DeadAIM 3.0 Released

[Veedems Veteran]

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.

yeah. i just saw it when i got back from school today and signed online.

it's a sweet upgrade. too bad i don't see the usefulness of tabbed IM windows. i like to see all my IMs at the same time :D

[lrnecnaecge]

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 :)

[xWeston]

I think i still like aim+ better, hopefully aim+ will have some good updates come this wednesday

I personally hate the aim 5 series

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.

[ToiletofSadness]

// Edit: nevermind...finally started working.

[ibetheone]

Shouldn't this be on the recent software news section already :unsure:

[persianpsycho]

ive been using aim+ for a while, haven't tried deadaim before, does it have ad removal options? Cuz all im really looking for is loggin, and ad removal, and every now and then cloning.

[ibetheone]

Yup it does all that you just mentioned.

Main useful features include:

Ad-removal

Logging of conversations

Log Manager with search capability

Tabbed chat windows

Ability to run multiple AIMs

Transperency

[persianpsycho]

this is a sweet program, i wish i knew about it before, i had been waiting for an aim+ ugrade for such a long time cuz i didn't want to update to aim 5 without getting rid of ads and haveing logging and cloning.

you're using the forums as a basis for bugs?

many people have poorly configured machines. on my system, it works flawlessly. not one crash, not one bug.

[Weasel]

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.
