Trying to stay in our 1 month release cycle, I have released version 0.0.4. Enjoy!

Version 0.0.4
01 June 2007

* Don't throw a null reference exception when a contact that
is not in our contact list signs off. (Lukas Lipka)
* Add events to tell if a contact signed on or off and not just
changed status. (Lukas)

are in the process of reconnecting (Lukas)

events (Lukas)
* Rework our post-login server connection architecture (Lukas)

* Be more verbose about the errors when we get disconnected (Lukas)
* Start work on meta packets (Lukas)
* Implement offline messages receiveing (Lukas)
* Fix a bug in our packet chunking code where we were dropping packets
that were getting sent together. This ment that people with larger

we couldn't get a handle for the log file. (Lukas)

* API fixes (Lukas Lipka)
* Handle cases when we get disconnected (Lukas)
* Add abbility to reconnect after a lost connection (Lukas)
* Rewrite our IPC so that we allow more than one session per
application instance. (Lukas)
* Fix a potentional bug where we would get disconnected if
packets wouldn't get sent in the same order as intialized. (Lukas)
* Add our own CLSID capability so we can detect our client
library in the future. (Lukas)
* Add code to allow us to send our typing notifications (Lukas)

The 0.0.2 version of Icq# has just been released. This is mostly a bugfix release, but also adds supports for goodies (like XStatus icons, etc). This version fixes the problem with setting your own status, as well as checking your contacts statuses.

Duders,

First beta release of icq-sharp, your favorite .Net ICQ protocol library, is out! For your own pleasure and safety, this release is even usable. Handle with care :-)
