Wow!! First of all, so excited to see this is being made available!! I was wondering if we would see later versions of AIM brought back? I really loved the screencap feature of AIM 7

That is going to take time and also a patch to fix versions 6.0 and higher, so for now you'll have to stick with 5.9 and lower.

The reason we don't have AIM 6 and 7 patched is that they require using SSL/ClientLogin to work and iWarg hasn't found out how to make his code work with SSL or ClientLogin.

It's more complex than even that. Getting the server to work with the half-assed SSL is one thing, but the client will only accept signed certificates from AOL's CA. There's a couple of possible work arounds to this, neither easy, but require patching either way.

Thanks for the info, I've never even heard that being another reason.
