New Features - Release v0.5.7, Posted March 12, 2008.
- Emoticons are here: Send a smile, a happy face, a wink, a heart and more. When instant messaging with someone, you will now see
an emoticon smiley face in the chat area. Click on this face and you will see all the different emoticons that we currently
support. Pick any of these and they'll be sent along with your text to the person you are chatting with. We automatically
convert the icon into text so that if you happen to be chatting with someone not using Yakkle, they will still be able to see
your smiley face.
- Automatic status updates: In our last release, we introduced automatically setting your status to "Away" if you have left your
computer. If you were Yakkling, we did not set your status automatically. With this release we will. If you are Yakkling and
leave your computer and forget to stop Yakkling, we'll automatically change your status to "Away" for you. We've also changed the
"Away" time from 5 minutes to 3 minutes, meaning that if you leave your computer for 3 minutes, we will automatically determine
you are away.
- New Releases: If you start Yakkle and we have a new release for you to install, we will automatically notify you of this.
You can click on the "What's New?" button to instantly see what we've changed in the new release so that you can download and use it.
