joscar is an extensible library into AOL's proprietary OSCAR protocol. The library supports use of such features as File Transfer, and Direct IM, secure IM, and typing notification, and is the only known open-source library supporting features like rate limiting, Get File, and secure IM. (While the library supports development of both a client and a server, the focus is mainly on client use.)
Additions in 0.9.3 include a full implementation of AIM 5.2's new secure IM, chat room, and direct connection functionality; support for Trillian's own Secure IM protocol; support for iChat availability messages and AIM Expressions; and a new, faster command used by AIM 5.2 to retrieve a user's info/away message.
