Adium 0.85 released
Adium, the popular multi-protocol instant messaging software for OS X, has been updated to version 0.85. You can view the full version history if you are interested, but here are two things that I’m glad to see:
- Support for Google Talk as its own service rather than as just a generic Jabber protocol – this isn’t a big deal but I think it will be less confusing for people who aren’t IM experts.
- File transfer stability has been improved – this was always a bugbear for me as there’s nothing more annoying that having Adium crash part way through a transfer for no apparent reason.
Development on Adium seems to be fairly steady, with a new release roughly every two months, so hopefully the team behind it will continue to make improvements to what is already an excellent instant messaging program. I only wish I had enough time to contribute something to the project in terms of code.
