Homebrew developer Zx-81 has posted yet another update to Danzel‘s ever-useful AFKIM, an instant messenger application for the Sony PlayStation Portable. Some serious bugs are squished in this update, including the the resolving loop message that plagued users in version 3.3.3. Refer to the following capsule changelog for details about the fixes:

• Fix issue with ICQ / AOL account icon / login stuff (due to bitlbee server changes)
• Fix IR keyboard issue with fw >= 3.80 for FAT PSP (thanks to Angelo)
• Fix online status issue

Those who were bitten by the rather annoying “resolving” loop message bug do the following, according to zx-81:

For those who encountered the “resolving” loop message, you have to replace the name of the server in the im.bitlbee.cfg by the corresponding IP address (for example im.bitlbee.org -> 195.85.225.201)
