De ontwikkelaars bij Adium hebben al weer enkele dagen geleden de zesde bètaversie in de 1.4-tak van hun gelijknamige instant messenger vrijgegeven. Via het programma is het mogelijk verbinding te maken en berichten uit te wisselen via de netwerken van onder meer Twitter, Jabber, ICQ, .NET Messenger Service en Bonjour. De lijst met veranderingen voor Adium 1.4 bèta 6 ziet er als volgt uit:
Critical Fix:You are strongly recommended to update to 1.4b6 as soon as possible. This fixes a DoS/hang when a message contains a certain string used by message styles. This applies to all betas of 1.4.
General:Updated Libpurple:
- Added throttling to Growl messages. Instead of, for example, posting 296 messages, Adium will Growl "296 messages". (#12133)
- Added an "only count number of unread mentions" for group chat tabs in the Messages advanced preferences. (#12033)
- Separated group chat and regular chat preferences in the Messages advanced preferences.
- Message styles can now be updated without relaunching Adium
- Changed image upload behavior—it will now upload the smaller of a JPG or a PNG representation of the image. Images will be sized down if they exceed the service's maximum size. (2.5MB for pic.im)
- Fixed using a PAC-specified proxy for the hostname of the account. (#224)
- Fixed the status of an IRC contact after they've left all the channels they have in common with you.
- Disabled Zephyr. As an unsupported protocol, we require patches to maintain it in working order. At this point in time, it just crashes.
- Disabled the display of several server IRC messages on connect.
- Fixed connecting to Yahoo! behind a proxy server. (#12231)
