Pidgin, previously known as Gaim
By admin | January 8, 2008
Pidgin, previously known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. Pidgin messenger is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, SILC, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.
Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1’s system tray, as well as Windows’s own system tray. This allows you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times.
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent. The latest news regarding Pidgin can be found on the news page.
What’s New in This Release:
· Fixed a number of MSN bugs introduced in 2.3.0, resolving problems connecting to MSN and random local display name changes
· Going idle on MySpaceIM will no longer clear your status and message.
· Idle MySpaceIM buddies should now appear online at login.
· Fixed crashes in XMPP when discovering a client’s capabilities
· Don’t set the current tune title if it’s NULL (XMPP/Google Talk)
· Don’t allow buddies to be manually added to Bonjour
· Don’t advertise IPv6 on Bonjour because we don’t support it
· Compile fixes for FreeBSD and Solaris
· Update QQ client version so some accounts can connect again
· Do not allow ISON requests to stack in IRC, preventing flooding IRC servers when temporary network outages are restored
· Plug several leaks in the perl plugin loader
· Prevent autoaccept plugin overwriting existing files

BSFlite is a minimalistic, line-based AIM client for Unix
By admin | January 8, 2008
BSFlite is a minimalistic, line-based AIM client for Unix.
Instead of having a full screen console interface, BSFlite employs a command line interface that allows your fingers to do all of the work without needlessly sifting through windows.
BSFlite runs on UNIX (including Linux, all of the BSD’s, Solaris, etc.), Zeta (and possibly BeOS), Windows, DOS, Mac OS X, and Plan 9.
Well, minimalistic doesn’t necessarily mean sparse. Let’s call it, say, nimble. BSFlite supports most standard AIM features, with the notable exceptions of chat rooms and block lists.
For casual day-to-day chat, it’s perfect, if for nothing else than one important feature: once your fingers learn the commands, it doesn’t matter if your brain remembers them or not. You’ll be amazed at how efficiently you can juggle conversations with BSFlite. Seriously.
Here are some key features of “BSFlite”:
· Runs on just about any UNIX machine of any speed
· Uses very few resources, even compared to other console clients
· Very portable codebase with BSD-licensed AIM library for use in your own projects
· Windows port with tiny binary size - put it on a floppy or USB stick and load it up when you need AIM at an Internet cafe or public terminal
· Works great with screen, so you can leave your AIM session logged in when you’re not physically at your terminal
· Not affiliated with America Online in any way
