shaim 0.4 is out and about, marking the first release in a year and a half! This release contains vastly improved stability and resource efficiency, new contact list features including sorting and filtering, support for the AIM/MSN/Jabber IM protocols, and preliminary UI skinning support.

Based on shaim framework version 0.4.3007.30491.

Installation

shaim 0.4 requires .NET 3.0, which is supported on Windows XP SP2 and higher. Users with Windows Vista and higher do not need to install any extra software.

Download shaim-0.4.bin.zip from the Downloader. There is no installer program; simply unzip and run shaim.exe to begin.

Upgrading

If you used shaim prior to March 2008, you need to delete the shaim preference file (details). It is located at %appdata%\shaim - on Windows Vista this is C:\Users\Your-Username\AppData\Roaming\shaim, on Windows XP this is C:\Documents and Settings\Your-Username\Application Data\shaim

Known Issues

  • shaim can be unstable when the preference / configuration paths are on a USB thumb drive (or any high-latency file store). See task #59.
  • All defects from the 0.5 milestone.
