Goim is de afkorting van Gamers Own Instant Messenger en maakt gebruik van het Jabber/XMPP-protocol voor de communicatie. Het programma wordt speciaal voor gamers geschreven en met dit programma kan je dan ook zien welk spel en op welke server je vrienden op dat moment spelen. De ontwikkelaars zijn druk bezig geweest met het ontwikkelen en daarvan is versie 1.0.0 het resultaat. De aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
Released GOIM 1.0.0: Since I think that GOIM got kind of stable enough for basic messenging and presence as well as basic game features (seeing who is playing which game on which server) I've decided to jump to version 1.0.0. This release contains basically bug fixes and only small enhancements.
Bug Fixes:Enhancements:
- BrowserChatWindow sent empty content when a user keeps hitting return.
- Update Scheduler is now included. (I forgot to add it in 0.1.7)
- Improved UDP sniffer (it will now only trigger a joined server event after the 3rd packet to the same host, otherwise a server browser asking a server for information would trigger it. should work better this way)
- Created a win32 .ico file for the .exe launcher with all sizes and color depths. so there shouldn't be an eclipse logo when creating a desktop shortcut.
- Improved Game Starting (a few games didn't launch in the game's directory)
- Fixed Chat Window bug not displaying tags (< and >)
[break]Goim 1.0.0 is in de volgende twee smaken binnen te halen:
- Tray Icon is now enabled by default and when main window is minimized it will be hidden from the taskbar. it can be shown again by clicking on the tray icon.
- AA, BF2 and UT2k4 servers now will be queried for their name after the user joins them. This way the server name will be shown in the tooltip beside the IP address. In the future it might also be used to broadcast the current map, server version, punkbuster options, etc..
- Added a reply for jabber:iq:version IQ packets.
