BWLauncher update with IM support and GG news flow

BWLauncher has gotten itself an update, PenguinPlug as well as they go hand in hand these days. What's new for this update is Instant Messaging support plus being able to read GosuGamers news directly in the launcher.

Updates 2006-08-07

Fixed Injection bug for BWLauncher for Windows NT users
Fixed autoupdater issues
Fixed small memory leak
Added APMLive, now with new feature in obsmode and replays.

Ashur and the other so called 'BWProgrammers' continue to amaze us. Yesterday there was a BWLauncher update who fixed several bugs with the launcher, also adding APMLive. A new version of BWLauncher has been released just today, and includes two new heavy features, visual and user friendly ones.

#1: Instant Messaging support

Ashur has been working on an instant message system to be used in-game, so the gamer can keep on playing or stay in the channel when being written to in Windows. This plugin is connected to the program Miranda who puts together MSN, IRC, ICQ and AIM. When in-game the message will be showed directly in game with proper contact and its protocol. Simply reply back by writing "\i Friend TextMessage".
- To be honest, a LOT of people spam my ICQ about injection errors. And I'm too lazy to ALT+Tab from game to Windows, says Ashur when asked of any special reason he added this IM support. All you need is to download one more DLL and put it into your Miranda plugins directory.

#2: GosuGamers news flow in the launcher

Added with the new launcher update, you can now enjoy the GosuGamers news flow in the launcher. As of now, all of our news from all the sections are there, but will most likely be formatted for StarCraft news only. BWProgrammers and PGTour are also added. Ashur tells GosuGamers that more sites are planned to go there.
- The ladder rankings of WGTour and PGTour will be added in the same place, he tells.

BWLauncher becoming an even greater tool than it was before. On behalf of GosuGamers I would like to thank Ashur and all the other programmers who come up with nifty and useful features.
