AVChat IM 2.0 Update 1

Posted on Monday, October 17th, 2011 by Octavian Naicu in AVChat IM (http://avchat.im), Builds

It’s been a month since we’ve launched AVChat IM 2.0 as a closed beta and over 2 weeks since we’ve opened it to anyone

Today we’re proud to release the first update to AVChat IM which brings a few rather critical improvements.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Improved functionality across firewalls and proxy servers. We had a few cases in the last few weeks where users could not receive and/or send text messages. These issues have now been solved.
  • Different look for the conversations tab when you have no conversations (we’ve also added a shadow around it)
  • The conversations tab now shows up even if you are not logged in
  • Works properly on Safari on Mac.
  • Improved speed with which the CHAT button shows up on people’s profiles
  • Turkish language now available
  • The conversations tab remains open  between pages and visits, we’re using a cookie to save its state.
  • Improved text chat area with new HIDE TEXT CHAT HISTORY button,  LAST MESSAGE RECEIVED display and no more avatar images taking up all the space.
  • You will be notified in the text chat when someone goes online, offline or idle.

How to update:

We’ve just pushed the update to our live/production servers and you should see it right away on your website automatically. You don’t have to update your integration code or reinstall or anything.

What’s next:

We’re preparing 2 new builds:

  • one will be focused on increasing the discussions/messages between users,
  • the other one will be focused on adding audio and video chat capabilities.

This is it, we’d love to get your feedback,

For any questions or feedback please email us at contact@avchat.im or post in the forum .

    Really looking forward to the audio/video chat capabilities release. This will replace CometChat on my server the second it goes live. :)

    [...] It’s been a week since our last IM update and today we’re bringing a new one. This week is all about increasing the number of messages sent trough the IM. Most of what we’ve done is some way or another relates to increasing that number. [...]
