A lot of AIM and ICQ instant messaging users have likely never even heard of "Jabber" yet. But they'll probably be Jabbering away in the not too distant future, after the bugs get worked out by a new AOL/ICQ test launch.

Miranda IM is a smaller, faster, easier instant messenger with support for multiple protocols. Miranda IM is designed to be resource efficient and easy to use while still providing many features including support for AIM, Jabber, ICQ, IRC, MSN, Yahoo, and more. Supplemented by hundreds of plugins and other content, Miranda IM is very flexible and provides many avenues for customisation.   The Miranda IM 0.6.2 release fixes some critical issues with the AIM protocol that prevented users from receiving messages.  Improved UPnP support along with several bug fixes are also included.  If you are using Miranda IM 0.6.1 or earlier, this is a required upgrade to ensure proper functionality with AIM.

Chris Chabot has posted a PHP package he's worked up that functions as a daemon sitting and listening on a socket.   To deal with 1000's of concurrent, always on (comet aka hanging iframe) http (server) connections, and an equal amount of IRC client connections, plus being able to interpret and parse and delegate all the messages and events, i needed a very fast, stable, flexible and easy to use 'daemon' library for PHP.   He links to the tarball of the release and to the project page as well as including an example of its usage - creating a simple HTTP server with various hooks built in (like on_connect, on_read, and on_timer).

(InfoWorld) - AOL is advising users of its ICQ instant message service to update to the latest version of the instant messaging software following the discovery of a bug in an older version of the product. Security researchers at Core Security TechnologiesÂ reported on ThursdayÂ that they had discovered the flaw in ICQ Pro 2003b, a version of the ICQ client that AOL still offers for download, billing it as a "veteran version" of the product for users who prefer the earlier look-and-feel. Although the bug doesn't affect more recent ICQ software like ICQ 5.1, it could mean serious problems for ICQ Pro 2003b users, according to Max Caceres, director of product management at Core, a vendor of penetration testing software. Core researchers have developedÂ proof-of-concept code that causes ICQ Pro 2003b to crash and they believe that this vulnerability could eventually be exploited to run unauthorized software on a user's PC. Hackers would attack a PC by sending a maliciously encoded instant message to any ICQ Pro 2003b user connected to the service. Victims "don't have to do anything at all," Caceres said. "Just by being there, someone can send them a message and they can be compromised." Core has also discoveredÂ less-critical issues in AOL's ICQ Toolbar 1.3 for Internet Explorer. These flaws could allow attackers to change the toolbar's configuration settings or possibly even run scripting code by sending victims maliciously encoded RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds. AOL said it was working to fix the bugs, but the company classifies them as "minor and low-risk," according to spokesman Andrew Weinstein. "Any users who are concerned can simply upgrade to the latest version of ICQ or not load suspicious RSS feeds," he said via instant message.

Fast, intelligent, automatic spam detector using Paul Graham style Bayesian analysis of word counts in spam and non-spam emails. Filtering adapts to personal tastes automatically. No manual rule creation required. This release adds the final missing pieces to the new parser code.  MBX files and Content-Length headers are now supported.  Database cleanup when signals are caught has also been improved.  I would like to move 1.1 into the stable branch fairly soon so if folks would test out this release and report any problems it would be a big help!
