This release adds a very important improvement. ICQ communications were
moved to the library of ickle client, written by Barnaby Gray
<barnaby@beedesign.co.uk>. Since the library supports the icq2000
protocol, this version centericq doesn't loose messages unlike previous
ones. Also it's now possible to send SMSes. Though, the library is not
complete yet, so features such as finding users, updating details,
sending contacts and files are now gone. Temporary.
As Mirabilis servers have problems w/ v7 protocol, all the Unix ICQ
clients work very unstable nowadays - some messages never arrive, or
get delivered over an incredible amount of time, etc. Until there is
a good free library for icq2000 protocol, the centericq author
implemented other IM protocols in the client. With this version, Yahoo
and MSN protocol support are introduced.
The author seems to have dropped gettext and any NLS support.
Changes:
* Fix a minor bug that caused problems when sending files,
* Shows a warning when you run more than one clients with the same UIN,
* Fix a big that caused some messages not to appear in history,
* Manual page included in the package - centericq(1),
* An ability to turn off local mailbox checking was added.
- Install locale files.
- Use the gettext port rather than building the included one.

A curses-based textmode ICQ client implementation. It is a
fully featured client, can do things like file transfer. Has
the ability to associate sounds with different actions/evens
and play them through a sound card, as well as the standart
beeping.
Things like colors are not hard-coded in the program itself,
but can be set in the corresponding config files
