This week in updates: chat updates, keywords, and other fixes!

Hello buddies,

We meant it when we said there'd be at least weekly updates. This last week was a lot of building out backend features to improve stability and make it easier to build other client features, so not a lot to show off this week, but still worth talking about.

Updates:

* AOL: Added ability to ignore people in chat rooms, double click their screenname for options

* AOL: Favorite button now appears on chat window for easy saving/sharing of rooms

* AOL: Initial keyword requests supported, currently few keywords but more will be added fairly often

* AOL: Sounds now play when a buddy signs on or off

* AOL: Collapsing groups in the buddy list is now remembered and synced across AIM too

* AOL: Double clicking chat category loads rooms as originally

Fixes:

* AIM/ICQ: Duplicated buddy arrivals and/or user account info should now be kept to a minimum

* AIM/ICQ: Odd password issues in some old clients now fixed

* AOL: Chat room departures should now show properly

Soon:

* AIM: Finalizing features for AIM 1 to 5, patches for 6 - 7 (which do work)

* AOL: Additional versions of AOL (5.0+)

* AOL: Basic mail support (only to other users for now)

* AOL: More channels will be restored, such as News with up to date content
