Software Update: Trillian Astra 5.1 Build 20 / 5.2 Build 11 Beta

Cerulean Studios has released new beta and stable releases of Trillian Astra for Windows. This instant messaging program allows chatting with users of a variety of instant messaging and social networks, including Windows Live, ICQ, Skype (text only), Twitter, and Facebook. Trillian Astra is available for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and BlackBerry. In addition, there is a version that runs in a web browser, so that it can be used anywhere. What has changed in these releases is not entirely clear, but they appeared after “major changes” were made to Cerulean Studios’ systems.

Server Maintenance and Version Updates

We did some pretty significant work on the system last night which requires upgrades to all of the desktop versions of Trillian. For those of you who haven’t upgraded and are having login issues… Here are the links to the various versions of Trillian

This update shouldn’t have any effect on the mobile versions of Trillian.

If you’re having trouble getting Trillian to connect after an update, try this:

Windows users: Click the Trillian icon at the top of your contact list, then Manage Accounts, click the Astra connection and Settings, then change the port from 3158 to 443.
