Two Letters: GM

The time has come...

We've finally released our GM client! None of this beta [insert # here] stuff - this is the real deal! So if you were weary (which you shouldn't have been since our Betas are solid), it's time to get in on the good stuff and worry no more.

I've been pretty good at keeping you up-to-date with our changes throughout our Betas so I'll let you explore this one for yourself. A lot of fit and finish...depth in features...and some hardcore security fixes.

Hardcore Security Fixes?

Let me explain. Recently, AIM along with some of our major competitors, both web and desktop, have come under scrutiny for some vulnerabilities that have been exploited. We've executed on these quickly and effectively. We're also being preemptive with possible future exploits. It should be noted that these vulnerabilities aren't easily exploited but are there nonetheless...and we take that very seriously.

So there you have it, not only did we improve performance, buggyness, and all out quality, but we've patched some holes along the way.

AIM 6.5 - Get on it!

Many Thanks and Happy AIM'ing!
