Testimonial
I just switched from iChat to Fire. Frankly, I don’t know why more people haven’t done the same. The interface is superior, more features and account types are present in Fire than in iChat, and… hell, I could go on, but it’s just a better application. I applaud your effort.

Thanks to Jaden for the original design of this site. The colors and organization remain, though the code has been completely rewritten.
Version 0.9 Release Notes
10 Aug 1999
0.9.1b
Minor updates to buddy handling, but more importantly icq now seems
far more stable.
9 Aug 1999
0.9.b
- Tons and tons of stuff. All services are now "loadable" bundles.
These bundles now exist for AIM, ICQ and Yahoo Pager. All service
specific code should have been removed from the Fire application
(with exception of aiml and buddy list support - these will move soon).
- Yahoo and ICQ support are now both stable and usable
- Supports status. When you are away - away notices are sent to
supporting services (Yahoo, Icq), when you are idle IDLE is sent to
all services.
- Much faster buddy list stuff.
- Console window now added (Cmd-Sh-C).
- Service Controller window now reachable through Edit → Services ... menu.
- All around I think this is the most usable release.
- For more info see the readmes for every service bundle ...
