naim 0.11.6.5 is now available through the Cygwin Net Release.
naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Internet Relay
Chat, and The lily CMC. Development work is done on Linux, but naim should
work on any system with an ANSI C compiler, BSD sockets, and ncurses. This
includes operating systems such as BeOS, FreeBSD, Mac OS 10, NetBSD, and
Microsoft Windows using Cygwin. naim has been in development since October,
1998. More information is available from:
http://naim.n.ml.org/

Summary of changes from 0.11.6.4 to 0.11.6.5
============================================
[FT FEA] (backported from 0.12) All individual protocol drivers have been
rewritten as permanent modules. Transient (/modloaded) modules can
add new protocol drivers dynamically.
[UI fea] /newconn now lists all available protocol drivers when no
arguments are given.
[TOC FEA] (backported from 0.12) /sync now preserves group names, and saved
group names are restored when naim retrieves your permanent buddy
list from the TOC server.
[UI fea] The screen initialization routines are much more verbose.
[pkg fea] New --enable-forceascii, defaults to ENABLED in Cygwin. If
specified, a new $forceascii setting will be available. When
non-zero, naim will use alternate characters (+-|) in place of super
ASCII line-drawing characters. Patch by Igor Pechtchanski.
[UI fea] (backported from 0.12) /addbuddy and /groupbuddy will match case
and spacing for existing groups. This is required for persistent
group support.
[UI bug] Some /-commands only make sense in specific situations, but a bug
was allowing them to be used anywhere. Fixed. (Bug reported by
Walter Venable.)
[pkg bug] Cygwin build script used gunzip on a .bz2 file. Fixed.
[UI fea] /newconn will accept one argument (and pick the appropriate driver
name) if it recognizes the connection name.
[pkg fea] New --enable-dnsupdate, defaults to ENABLED in Cygwin. If
specified, naim will periodically check for the availability of a
newer version of itself.
[UI FEA] New /jumpback command, also available as M-b and F7. Allows the
user to do a reverse /jump (to the previous window).
