Dec 30 — Beta release of the GM is here

The beta version of the GM release is now available — just in time for the new year! This release is not technically in beta; it's a parallel version of what's out at Discover AOL today, but specifically built for the beta community. Using this release will help us in a variety of ways as well as benefit you by ensuring you're up-to-date and able to be notified of upcoming beta releases when we have them available.

We highly encourage you to download this release (4343.21) at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for testing with us, and may you have a Happy New Year.

Dec 15 — AOL Desktop 9.7 is now GM

You may have heard... AOL Desktop 9.7 has graduated from Beta to GM and is now publicly available for use!

A huge thanks to you, our brave Beta Community, for participating in testing our latest client releases and helping us immensely with your feedback and support. You know we couldn't do it without you!

As always, you're welcome to update to the GM release (version 4340.19), but we'd love it if you hung out on the latest beta version (4340.12) so we may easily invite you to join us on the next venture. We're planning on engaging you more frequently, so stay tuned!
