Squiggle 2.1 stable and final version has been uploaded on codeplex.
This version includes broadcast message feature that allows you to send a message to all contacts at once. Its not a group chat feature because the recipients don’t know this message is being sent to others as well.

Replies sent in response to the broadcast message are shown in the same window, the message was sent from but if you want to continue chatting separately, you can always open up the chat window separately and continue chatting.

Another feature in this release is that every time a buddy changes status, display name or message; his/her Last updated field in Contact List tooltip changes to the time it last changed. This is helpful to know when someone went away or since how long a person is idle.

Both of these features were suggested by Aaron Heath. Thanks Aaron.

Features coming in next release are:

• Geo distributed network of Squiggle Messenger. Allow people from two different LANs to communicate via bridge
• Auto update
• Chat History
• Buddy Groups

Hi

Today we’ve released Squiggle 2.0 final.
The only thing added after beta is a emoticon button in the chat window; rest are all bug fixes.

In future versions following features are expected:
1) Chat History/Log
2) Auto update feature (Notify you whenever there is an update to squiggle)
3) An option to send message to all contacts (Maybe a broadcast window)

We’ve just announced the beta release of Squiggle LAN messenger 2.0
