AIM for Mac 2.0b4

AIM for Mac 2.0b4 is created to let you select your own Buddy sounds, wallpaper and animated Buddy Icons from the AIM Expressions library. This is the Real AIM, not just an AIM-compatible IM client, so file transfers are fast and efficient. Send files, folders and pictures to all your Buddies.

Major Features:

1. Consolidated mode selector. Just click the "Running Man" pull-down menu to select Available, Away, Invisible or Mobile. If you have created Away Messages in a previous version of AIM, you will see them as a sub-menu at the bottom of the pull-down menu.
2. Away toggle, invisible toggle, group row color picker and Find Buddy have been moved to the new Search Toolbar in the Buddy List. You can open or close the new toolbar by selecting "Show Search Toolbar in Buddy List" or pressing Shift-Option-F.
3. A new, streamlined AIM registration is now integrated with your AIM for Mac sign in window so you can create new screen names to be used with AIM or AIM Mail.
4. Buddy List Builder has been added to AIM for Mac 2.0 to help new users find and add Buddies (even from Address Books on other services).
5. Find out who calls you a buddy. But you'll need to open your Buddy List up too. "Buddy Lists I'm on" is now available on the Me tab, just click the number to see details. For your privacy, this feature is set to private ("Just Me") by default but will be available for you to manage in the next AIM for Mac beta (this feature is not yet available on iPhone). See privacy tab in AIM for Mac 2.0 preferences.
6. Enabled the dragging of text clippings, images, and links from the IM conversation history view.
7. The vendors are no longer going to close a sheet when a new IM conversation is started. Also, they will no longer change the tab selection when a sheet is displayed.
8. Updated Buddy Icon sizing to accommodate additional sizes.
9. Users can now open a window to display Buddy Lists I'm On.
10. Added VoiceOver compatible text for IM window button bar.
11. Improved support for languages (Japanese and other languages).
12. General bug fixes and optimizations.
