Software Update: Miranda IM 0.8.18

Version 0.8.18 of Miranda IM was released on Sunday, the fourth release of this month. This open source instant messaging program is only developed for Windows and offers standard support for ICQ, irc, MSN, AIM, Jabber and Yahoo, among others. The download is not even 1.7MB in size and with that you get a sober and light program. However, both the functionality and appearance of the program can be changed with more than 350 different add-ons and plug-ins can be completely customized to your liking.
