Posted on 5 Jul 2006 at 12:18

Adium has released a first beta of version 1.0 of its eponymous instant messaging application for OS X.

Compatible with several IM protocols, including iChat/.Mac, AIM, MSN and Yahoo! plus several lesser-known variants, Adium X 1.0b1 is a universal application with enhancements to the pre 1.0 releases that include a working File Transfer and faster sign on; improvements to the default look and feel; faster iTunes-as-status integration and updates as soon as the song changes; global user profile and buddy icon settings; the ability to disable accounts when not in use; an Xtras manager to better handle browsing and removing Xtras (additional icons, skins etc.); and 'major' improvements to privacy settings. For a list of changes see the release notes.

Adium X 1.0b1 can be downloaded from trac.adiumx.com/wiki/AdiumBeta.
