Hi Eugene, We were in touch with the ICQ developers in November about their new protocol and they were organising some documentation for us about it. The last email we've had is from near the start of Nov though, so I've reached back out to them to see if they've got anything available for us yet.
They had assured us that the OSCAR protocol wasn't going away any time soon though, but they might have changed their minds about that. Their new protocol, called WIM, is a JSON-over-HTTP/Websockets protocol that I have some packet captures of (and that I intended to write a new protocol plugin for) however I was waiting to see if there was any official documentation before starting on a reverse-engineered plugin - it's always nicer if there's some official docs to try and help make the protocol more 'stable' and less likely to break if we implement something that's likely to change on the server side.
