v0.4.0

What's new?

• AIM v2.x and v3.x are now supported!
• AIM v4.8 no longer displays an error about connecting to the Alert service.

Caveats

• The BUCP_PORT environment variable is renamed to AUTH_PORT.
• AIM v2.x-v4.1 store buddy lists client-side, whereas newer versions store buddy lists server-side. As a result, changes made to client-side buddy lists are not reflected in server-side buddy lists, and vice-versa. For example, a buddy added in AIM v3.0 will not show up in AIM v5.0.
• v2.x and v3.x clients are unable to join chat rooms.
• There is a buddy icon interoperability issue between AIM v3.x and later versions. For instance, a v3.0 client's buddy icon may not appear in a conversation with a v5.0 client, and vice-versa.
• AIM v1.0 is able to connect and send IMs, but some core features, such as away messages, do not currently work.

Changelog

• 7b6e026 update feature set doc
• 12b889f implement FLAP authentication for AIM v1.x-v3.0
• c5e6815 set up server for ALERT food group

v0.3.0
