This will allow us to finish quickly and get a fully functional ICQ and AIM server up and running for the world to use!

This.. last two weeks in updates

Hello buddies,
Some new AOL/AIM/ICQ service updates and fixes!
As you may have noticed we didn't have a weekly update last week, that's because we're working on a lot and have a fair amount to show today. We're also going to have a minor update mid-week as well since we have a lot of things nearly-complete. If you're seeing this post and haven't subscribed or donated, we need your help, so please consider, and learn more about benefits here: https://nina.chat/donate
Updates:
* AOL: Initial support for AOL 5.0!
* AOL: Unique Welcome, People Connection, and Chat for 5.0 with more to come!
* AOL: Up to date news, news articles, news reading, including images
* AIM: Ability to change legacy password in the client (if on a secure connection)
* AIM: Ability to change screenname formatting in client
* AIM: Ability to change your e-mail search preferences (under Privacy tab in Preferences)
* Clients: You can now use login.oscar.nina.chat for login (login.oscar.nina.bz for binary patching), for TOC: toc.oscar.nina.chat (toc.oscar.nina.bz), for AOL: americaonline.nina.chat (americaonline.nina.bz)
Fixes:
* ICQ: Fixes on certain profile querying conditions on ICQ 6+
* AIM: Mobile apps can now send and receive UTF-16 messages properly
* General: AOL <-> AIM IMs would contain weird characters sometimes
* AOL: "Available?" button no longer freezes the client on IMs
* AIM: Clients won't error that you cannot invite an AOL user to a chat
Soon:
* AOL: Mail has been postponed until next release due to some extra work required
* AIM: Finalizing features for AIM 1 to 5, patches for 6 - 7 (which do work)
* AOL: More content from former channels will be restored
* MSN: We promise, we're still working on Escargot 2.0 it's just a huge upgrade compared to the current server
* AIM/ICQ/AOL: Privacy settings (blocking, permitting) will likely be a mid-week quiet update to finish the last parts of this
And thank you so much to all you wonderful supporters and donors out there, you make this all possible and it keeps us going! You're the best!
