v0.24.0

What's new?

This release greatly expands ICQ support to most of the Windows ICQ lineup from the late 1990s through 2005, plus popular third-party clients.

✨ Features

• Legacy ICQ protocol (pre-OSCAR): Connect vintage UDP-based clients including ICQ 98x, ICQ 99x, and Groupware. The server listens on UDP port 4000 by default (ICQ_LEGACY_ENABLED=true). Protocol versions V2–V5 are supported out of the box; V1 (ICQ 1.02 Beta, 1996) is available experimentally. @VasylSamoilov
• OSCAR-based ICQ clients: Full setup support for ICQ 2001x, ICQ 2002x, ICQ 2003x, ICQ 4, and ICQ 5 — in addition to the existing ICQ 2000b support. @mk6i
• Cross-protocol messaging: AIM and ICQ users can authorize and exchange instant messages. @mk6i
• Third-party clients: Improved compatibility with Jimm and QIP. @mk6i

See the ICQ Client Setup Guide for client installation and configuration instructions.
