GnomeICU is a Gnome application which allows one to communicate with other GnomeICU users or others who use ICQ (Windows, Java, Mac, etc). With GnomeICU, one can send and receive messages, change online modes, send and receive URLs, and much more.

Compatiblity with newer window clients was added.
GtkStatusIcon from GTK+ 2.10 is used, with a
backport available for Gtk+ 2.8 users. The ignore,
visible, invisible, and online notify lists now
instantly apply. Lots of bugs were fixed.
Some people had problems connecting recently, this release should fix it. The login code was the oldest code from the v7 port, and was in a dire need of rewriting. GnomeICU has also been ported to use GtkStatusIcon and GOption. The required version of GTK+ is now 2.6. But you will need 2.10 if you want to have the status icon. You can still use the applet for older versions. The history parsing should now work properly with long messages. There are also many other assorted protocol and UTF-8 bugfixes.
A recent change in the ICQ protocol has caused GnomeICU to constantly disconnect. This is the main issue fixed. There are other bugfixes, new translations, UI improvements, etc.
