AFKIM changelog

Developer zx-81 visited the QJ.NET Forums earlier to announce that Danzel has released AFKIM v3.3.5 for the PlayStation Portable. AFKIM, in case you're asking, is actually short for Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger.This new build's specifcically for the guys who've just updated to Team M33's custom firmware 4.01. Version 3.3.5 will address a bug which prevented AFKIM from displaying its text properly. Those using an older version than CFW 4.01 won't need to download this update.Full details on installing and running this application on your PSP are available in the file bundle's readme. You may also want to visit ZX-81's Homebrew Releases forum in case you're interested in leaving your feedback.

Since homebrew developer zx-81 mentioned before that he'll stop working on Danzel's AFKIM, we're quite delighted to find out that a new version of the nifty PSP instant messenger app surfaced. AFKIM version 3.3.0 brings new updates for everyone who love their IM services on the go.

For those still scratching their heads in wonder, AFKIM (or Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger) is a universal messenger client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, GTalk, and Yahoo!, among others. To get the most out of this convenient chat program, don't forget muse over the Readme files that come with the download.

Aside from new design and other functions, here are some new features in this release (from the readme):

• Add iso 8859-1 font/characters compatibility (useful for French, Spanish, German etc ... )
• Add modified version of Danzeff Keyboard with iso 8859-1 characters
• Code cleaning

AFKIM is back and better than ever sm-19

AFKIM is an (almost) universal messenger client for PSP (Supports: AIM, ICQ, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo!)

I've also made some guides to hopefully help new people get started with AFKIM.
Even if you've used it before, it would be worth giving the How To Use guide a quick read over.

Danzel has updated his AFKIM (Away from Keyboard Instant Messenger) to version 1a today. AFKIM is an instant messenger for almost all the major IM protocols, including AIM, ICQ, MSN, Google Talk and Yahoo! For more details, please refer to the enclosed README in the package. Here is the changelog of this version:

• Fixed the crash bug from having too many friends ;) - This is only a cheap fix to stop it crashing, you will have trouble selecting buddies that are off the screen, a proper fix will come next version.
• It should also fix the new message bug (people who send messages weren't highlighted correctly)
• The server chat window now shows the bitlbee status so you can see why your accounts won't connect.
