Adium 1.0 Released

Adium, every Mac user's favorite dock duck, has been updated to the long awaited version 1.0. As someone who's tested many different versions of Adium, I can tell you that this one is the best... which, for me, makes it one of the best IM programs (free or unfree) for any platform.

 

Anyway, here's what you can expect with the update:

 

* Added global user profile and buddy icon settings. (Personal Preferences)

* General Account improvements. Accounts can now be disabled when not in in use, and friends can now sign on from your Adium without saving their information.

* Added an Xtras manager for better browsing and removing of Xtras.

* Major improvements in privacy settings.

* Improvements to the default look and feel of Adium.

* iTunes integration is much faster, and updates as soon as the song changes.

* Redesigned Chat Transcript (Log) Viewer Optional dock-like hiding of the contact list

* Requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Universal Binary)

 

This update comes highly recommended for current Adium users. It's a free download available from MacUpdate.

If like me, you have been getting the betas, there's not really much new - apart from the lack of bugs now.

Great app, use it all the time.

PLEASE ADD VOICE TO GTALK!

So the devil called me up this morning and was wondering if I could recommend a company to him to install some heating units. Turns out hell had frozen over.

I have been a real mac user for just a bit with my ibok and I just got Adium (.89 version) and it is nice. Uninstalled that MSN messenger and I love this program. It reminds me of trillian back in the day. Now trillian, is bloated and runs like ass. I love it that I don't have to use Microsoft's chat program.

Adium is one of those Mac apps that you'd wish to be available on every OS.

If Kopete development goes the way it's been going, expect to see something Adium-like coming to a Windows near you. Not the same thing, mind you, but close enough....

Wow. This app has finally reached the vicinity of a certain... boshwachêz quality to it in a beautifully simplistic manner. It's undergone a metamorphosis that can only be paralleled to... well... quite frankly... the gradual evolution of society and communication itself. It's the embodiment of unity in a world of various and confusing messaging clients that only serve to divide us more than help us. Thanks to Adium, a father doing work in Tokyo using AIM can hear a crescendo of laughter over a microphone from his newborn child, who is using Yahoo.

 

I applaud thee... thou hast done well.

Looks great, they've really done a great job, once again. And, there are problems with every new release of everything.

I agree with Paquito. Adium is my favorite Instant Messaging client for *any* platform. I wish they had for all platforms.

 

I had some issues when I upgraded to 1.0 because I had made some changes to some of my contacts in MSN. I kept getting "buddy list synchronization" errors.

 

How I resolved: I removed /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0 folder. After that I just had to re-register my MSN account.

Ok I did an Adium update on my friends mac and on mine I installed 1.0 from scratch. On mine I got asked to download and install 'Growl' and my friends one didn't.

 

I guess it's not too important but did anyone notice this? Also is Growl a new future? Looks cool but which the messages that appear were smaller.

Adium to me looks good on paper but doesnt work in reality on ANY of my real macs or hackintoshes. I have seen that damn adium crash reporter so many times i could shoot that duck!

 

So much so that I have to run it under rosetta to get it to work.

 

Hopefully this is better and can run natively without crashing

what version of OS X do you have????

Do you have SSE2 or SSE3???

 

For me Adium works great. Never crashes.

You know one thing I really wish they had is a better way of telling you that you have mail. Even Microsoft Messenger for Mac's Fading notification is better than what Adium has to offer.

 

I rely on MS messenger to tell me if I have any messages in Hotmail. So this is impornat to me.
