AIM/ICQ/MobileMe Testing through the Night
Today marked the completion of our extensive work with MSN and the OSCAR protocol. We've spent the better part of the last two weeks developing custom implementations of MSN and AIM and judging by our testing, the outcome is tremendously exciting.
Unfortunately, this meant disabling YIM support until we can spend time to develop that as well. We will hopefully re-enable YIM support over the next couple of days.
We're going to be deploying this beta server on all of our boxes as the night rolls on and we'll be collecting debug data during this time. As pathetic as it is to say, this beta version, while still in the early stages, is 1000x better than anything that is currently deployed on our servers. However, not letting our ego's get in the way...that's fantastic news! We are very excited to see the performance as more and more users begin to stress our servers.
We will post additional updates tomorrow.
A big thanks for everyone's continued patience while we continue to work through these issues. We're all very optimistic and these latest server updates are potentially ground-breaking for the MobileChat initiative.
