- POP3 module which gives ability to check e-mails
- enhanced and constantly improved preferences system which gives ability to adjust the look of the application to your needs and favours
- display of the photo of person who you are chatting with.
- internet update function which can download and install any new version of AmiGG which is available.

Requirements are: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.0 or MorphOS (three different native versions are available in the archive), MUI 3.8 (or higher), some MUI classes (TextInput, TextEditor, NList, NFloattext, NListview, Busy, Toolbar), wbstart library (for internet update function), openurl library (optionally), Play16 (optionally). AmiGG is distributed in polish and english language versions. People who want to create other language versions are welcome and should contact the author.

There is also a contest for creating default logo and graphical theme (buttons, toolbars, icons) of AmiGG. Contributed artwork should be your own idea, no copying or remaked.

    MSN ?
    Don't you know that micro$oft suxx!? :D

    As far as I know it isn't even in plans for now.
    Currently a plugin system is developed and two plugins are in plans: Tlen (oh no, another freaky protocol! :) ) and Jabber (much better! :D )
    Nobody forbids your friends to install AGG and use gadu-gadu protocol.

    for example, you cannot see the date/time of the received message... quite disappointing, i'd say, it's functionality is really limited only to realtime communication... also problematic is the (un)support of native characters... causes strange things in messages... nevertheless, it's quite stable, and works flawlessly :-) just to make it a bit uptodate...

    Well, 200 of my 200 friends are using MSN. I hate it, but if I want to communicate with them, I must use it. In hungary it's the only one.

    Just installing it is as easy as it's possible.
    In the Amiga way, just copy it on HD :-)
    But signing up requires a bit more, then you'll be able to read on AGG website how to do it.

    Really can't belive! What is so precious in MSN that Hungarian people love it so much? Why not Jabber or ICQ eg.? As I have mentioned in a previous post, they may install even AmiGG which is so strange for them and use it. There are no obstacles for it, of course in case if they use Amigas or compatible :)
    Btw. how many of your 200 friends are amigans? :)
