Tuesday, March 27, 2007 A new AIM Lite was released this afternoon, full of great new features.     In version 0.32 we have added the following features:

    - Better Direct IM support (sending and receiving images w/ drag and drop)
    - Buddy Icon support (drag and drop to profile window)
    - Save custom away messages
    - Privacy support

But there is some other goodies in there as well.  We have added host based profile support where your profile is now saved on the host.  As with previous AIM Lite releases we have support for AIM Widgets.  These widgets are javascript plugins that allow for extension of features in the client, for example, sounds or notifications.  If you are interested in seeing how to build widgets, check out my post on how to make one.  Last but not least, AIM Lite supports theming, so you can build your own skin, included in the release is a default theme and a theme to make the application honor your OS settings.

As always feedback is appreciated.  You can leave feedback via the WTF button on the bottom of the AIM Lite buddy list or you can leave it as a comment in this post.

  Doh...I'm an idiot. Clearing my cache fixed the problem. Loving AIM Lite...been using it regularly since 0.31...the only thing I'd like to see now (besides what you have planned) is timestamps by each message.
