We're Bringing Proxy Back!

Okay, okay...

I know that was a corny allusion to Justin Timberlake's "I'm Bringing Sexy Back", but I couldn't resist. I'm just excited to have Port and Proxy back in the client and it's here for your use in our latest beta which has just gone live!

AIM 6 Beta 2!!!

Key Features:

1) Connection Settings - Firewalls or Proxy holding you back? Click on the "Settings" link on the sign on window and maybe we can help you out. Don't try this at work! *cough cough*

2) Status Messages - Yea, they were in before...but hidden. Now we have it exposed and ready for consumption. I'm stoked to see what the public uses them for...it'll be very interesting. And, yes, more changes will come in Beta 3 such as the collapsing of status text for buddies who have not actually typed one in (more buddy list real estate).

3) Flyout on yourself - It's not quite a Batman move, but it's useful! Hover over your screen name in the Buddy List and find some useful options. Let's face it, you know you like stalking yourself on your own buddy list! ;)

As always, there are some other changes here and there as well as some bug fixes. Download, install, and tell me what you think!

Thanks and Happy AIMing!
