Alicq is pure Tcl/Tk implementation of the ICQ
client with a flexible modularized architecture,
support for ICQ2000/Oscar protocol, and ability to
pick up Licq configuration files and user database.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
There are bugfixes, transparent support of ICQ Lite and ICQ2go client encodings, better remote client identification for ICQ Lite, ICQ2Go, and Sim, and some usability improvements.
This version features a large code cleanup of the ICQ protocol library to gain more functionality in less code. There is now implicit Unicode usage when sending messages to unicode-capable clients. There is automatic recovery from protocol handling errors, and automated sending of bug reports to the author. It now sends keepalive and ping packets.
The format of the startup file was changed. A new
modules infrastructure, based on properties and
metadata, allows independent modules to be created
more easily, and add new transports. Alicq can now
save changes in the startup file. Subgroups
(groups within other groups) are now supported.
Membership in several groups is now possible.
Multicast messages to groups can now be sent. The
state of groups (open or closed) is now saved on
exit. The transport encoding can be specified for
each contact other than the global one. A setup
wizard was added. A configuration panel was added.
This release adds a lot of bugfixes, a -config commandline option to
allow specifying the startup file, geometry.tcl to save positions and
sizes of windows, and tomail.tcl to forward ICQ messages to email.
Support for handling visible/invisible lists, searching in the Whitepages, updating personal info, viewing contact info, and changing your ICQ password.
