Adium X 1.0 Beta 1 Out
The folks behind the popular open source Mac OS X multi-service IM client, Adium X, have just released Beta 1 of version 1.0. I've been using Adium since the OS X 10.2 days, back before they restarted the numbering (it reached 1.8.x before being renamed Adium X 0.5). I've always kept AOL's AIM client around for file transfers, but it looks like that will no longer be necessary. Here's a list of "selected major changes":
- Major AIM, ICQ and .Mac improvements. This includes working File Transfer, and faster sign on.
- Added global user profile and buddy icon settings. (Personal Preferences)
- General Account improvements. Accounts can now be disabled when not in in use, and friends can now sign on from your Adium without saving their information.
- Added an Xtras manager to better handle browsing and removing Xtras.
- Major improvements in privacy settings.
- Improvements to the default look and feel of Adium.
- iTunes integration is much faster, and updates as soon as the song changes.
- Redesigned Chat Transcript (Log) Viewer
- Requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Universal Binary)
