New Lite AIM version 0.33

Friday, July 13, 2007
We released Lite AIM about a month ago now, and in this new version we have added a few new features that are noteworthy. First is custom font support. We received tons of feedback saying we were screwing up by not including font support, so we now have that in there.
The second feature worth pointing out is the ability to seamlessly sign on to other AIM properties such as AIM email, mobile setup or account linking management. This new advanced authentication method is something we are hoping to release for all third party client developers to use. In addition, plugins can now take advantage of this seamless sign on. So if you have a plugin that needs to access other AOL content or content protected by AOL Web Authentication you will be able to sign on to those services via OpenAIM. As a result the mail icon at the top of the buddy list now works, so you can easily check your email now.
As always AIM Lite supports the Javascript plugin architecture, and the AIM 6 Beta client available on beta.aol.com, now supports the JS plugins as well. So widgets that are made for one client, with a few exceptions will work on the other.
Here are some screenies...
Preference window for changing font.
IM window showing font support.
