plaintext and encrypted (AES algorithm) file transfers.
contacts download and upload from/to ICQ servers.

What's New in This Release:
patch for YSM_Thread_Sleep fixing a 10% cpu usage.
patch for getline, fixing support for umlauts.
patch for the CtrlHandler under unix.
blind fix for the 'Age' field on the whois command. It sometimes showed up negative, changed d to %ud lets see if its fixed now, couldn't find any erroneous test case.
fixed crash on 'del' command. duplicate (erroneous cfg) entries in the config lead to a crash when deleting that slave name. Thanks to f00li5h for reporting the problem.
fix on COMMANDSFILE> . Any commands without arguments were being ignored.
fix for readline! the inputrc file was only being read from ~/.ysm/inputrc. If that file doesnt exist its now read from the default locations.
fix on TAB cycling for slaves. now cycling alphabetically.
started adding colors configuration support! By now you can select colors for COLOR_MESSAGE (message body colors) COLOR_STATUSCHANGENAME (nick on status changes) and COLOR_STATUSCHANGESTATUS (status on status changes).
