Download Kopete 0.12.0

After ten months of hard work, version 0.12 of Kopete was released a few days ago. Kopete is an instant messaging program for the KDE environment on Linux and provides support for a number of different IM networks. This makes it possible to maintain contacts with different users of these networks from the same program. Support for the networks of AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, Meanwhile, SMS and Skype is available. This version can be used on KDE versions 3.3 through 3.5, but not all features can be used on KDE 3.3, including emoticons. Also, version 0.12 is probably the last version that still has support for KDE 3.3. In any case, the changelog of this release looks like this:
