As of now, PIMB v0.70 is out. It is a small maintenance release. The most important change is that PIMB now allows you to create silent bots (bots that do not return a message when you trigger it). Furthermore, a small bug fix is applied and the manual is updated. You can find the download, change history, screenshots and demo video at the PIMB homepage. 

For those unfamiliair with PIMB, the above screenshot shows me talking to a PIMB bot from Google Talk. This PIMB bot runs on the jabber.com network. I first send the bot the help command ("?"), causing the bot to return its usage instructions. Next, I send it a specific message ("hi bot"). The bot receives that message and returns the user name of the sender, as well as the original message.

This so-called Parrot bot ships with PIMB and is typically used to demonstrate and test the setup. Through a very simple API, PIMB allows you to create any bot you like, using plain old PHP.
