No longer in beta, Adium 1.2 is available for public download now and has some nice improvements long time Adium users will notice and appreciate. It also has what the Adium team call “a ridiculous number of bug fixes”. Some of the new features include: An improved Adium menu item and account management features, various and sundry improvements to Jabber support (including SSL certification authentication, server-supplied action support, and discovery services browsing), fixed Bonjour local area network messaging with file transfers, better group chat (conferencing), a completely rewritten Applescript dictionary which should lead to all sorts of powerful new interactions with other programs, and detachable groups. One ‘advertised’ feature which did not make it into Adium 1.2 was MSN personal messages; development efforts for these are still in progress by the libpurple team. A future version of Adium will have this enhancement once it’s ready.

I use Adium for AIM, Yahoo! and Google Talk - but not for MSN. It’s a shame I still have to use a separate client for MSN, but it works best this way. This is one of many regular updates we hope to see in the future from the Adium team. You can download it here.
