Cerulean Studios heeft een update voor versie 4.1 van het instant-messagingprogramma Trillian Astra uitgebracht. Met Trillian Astra kan er worden gechat met gebruikers van een groot aantal instant-messagingnetwerken en sociale netwerken, waaronder Windows Live, ICQ, Skype (alleen tekst), Twitter en Facebook. Op dit moment is Trillian Astra beschikbaar voor Windows en als app voor Apples iPhone, en er is een versie die in een webbrowser draait. Een client voor Mac OS X is in ontwikkeling. De release notes voor versie 4.1 build 24 zijn hieronder te vinden:
Trillian for Windows 4.1 build 24
Build 24 is now available to all customers. Since the gold release of Trillian 4.1 a few weeks back, we’ve been watching our crash reports and fixing them whenever we found them! If you’ve experienced the “stuck troubleshoot” button in your chat windows or have crashed when connecting to AIM or Google Talk, Build 24 should address these issues.
Additionally, Facebook recently started to support XMPP (the same communications protocol used by Jabber and Google Talk, among others) in their Facebook Chat product. As they’re not running a “true” XMPP server, a few things they do were incompatible with our existing plugin and we’ve made the necessary workarounds in Build 24. If you’d like to try the new “Facebook through XMPP” support, simply add a new Jabber/XMPP account with a username of “your_facebook_username@chat.facebook.com” and your normal Facebook password. Note that you will need to have bound a Facebook Username to your account before this will work.
If you’re not sure what your Facebook username is, visit http://www.facebook.com/username/ to set or view your username. Your username will appear on the right-hand side of the link shown on this page. For example, if your username is “johndoe”, create an account named “johndoe@chat.facebook.com”. Your username is NOT a full e-mail address!
