Download Adium X 1.05

At the beginning of this week the people of Adium in the form of 1.0.5 released a new version of Adium X made available. Adium X is an instant messenger for Mac OS X released under the gpl license. Through the program it is possible to connect to the networks of, among others, Jabber, ICQ, .NET Messenger Service and Bonjour, and to chat with the users of those networks. Version 1.0.5 is the latest release of the 1.0 branch, according to the developers. This will be followed by the 1.1 series, which has been worked on over the past year. The biggest improvement in the new Adium X is the use of libpurple 2.0.2:

This last planned release of the 1.0.x series fixes a big handful of bugs and so is a recommended download for all Adium 1.0 users. Adium 1.1, the next major release which has been in development for the past year, will drop OS X 10.3 support, targeting OS X 10.4+ so we can bring you more of the shiny.

The most notable changes of Adium 1.0.5 include that problems with the chat transcript viewer incorrectly re-indexing transcripts have been fixed, login credentials for systemwide proxy servers are now read properly, and we’ve updated to libpurple 2.0.2. Also, AdiumLibpurplePlugins, which can let Adium make use of libpurple protocol plugins previously usable only in Pidgin, will now install properly, good news for users interested in adding Tlen support to Adium.
