About BeAIM:
BeAIM is the best (OK, the only) AOL Instant Messenger client for the BeOS! It can do a whole lot of the stuff that AOL's clients can, and it's userfriendly too!

Details about this version:

All the important changes from 1.5.2 to 1.5.6:

First BeBits update in nearly three years. w00t.

As you may have noticed, maintainership has changed hands.

First, some old bugs, all brought to me by NathanW (via BeShare):

Parts of the "Get Info" window were created in the wrong order, causing display errors on Dano and its ilk.
A fencepost error in the HTML parsing code made the formatting go screwy.

The networking threads have been fixed to syncronise properly during logon.

Semi-real rate limiting, for the internal components. It's still possible for you to exceed the limit and get that nice message from the server.

Server-stored buddy lists!

Changed authentication mechanisms to the newer, MD5-based one. Otherwise, we can't support new features...

@mac.com screen name support. Both as a user and on the buddy list.

Typing notification. Will be made optional later.

Turkish and Italian translations added.

Information bubbles fixed for Dano and up.

There are many things planned for upcoming releases. Most of them are features, unless I get bug reports. I'm planning for a sort of weekend-long code-a-thon, because my ideas seem to come all at once.
