New im_kit release
Stephen B. - February 2nd, 2006

A new release of the im_kit was posted to BeBits today, marking the first official release in… thirty-five years? Hrm, looks like BeBits may be having a problem with version history dates. The release – Alpha 12 – includes builds for both R5 (BONE-only) and ZETA; it contains bugfixes, an emoticon-capable im_client, and the new Google Talk protocol add-on.

I’m personally am quite glad to see an updated official build, I’ve been using the CVS/SVN build from Begasus’ tutorial for the last few months. The im_kit is one of the most innovative uses of BeOS technology developed outside of Be, and I’ve gotten pretty addicted to the simplicity of having IM essentially integrated with my People files.
