I get this error from SIMBL saying that

iChat 3.1.9 (v446) has not been tested with the plugin iChatUnleash (null) (v1). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer (not the SIMBL author) for further information.

Will the be availible for Leopard soon? I would love to "get around" the "slow network" and "insuficient CPU" restrictions.
