Product Description:

Adium is a fast and free instant messaging client which supports AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo!, Google Talk, Yahoo! Japan, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, and Lotus Sametime.

Adium is currently translated into Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed Yahoo! Japan connectivity
  • Fixed ICQ connectivity for some accounts with large contact lists

  • Fixed repeating / stuttering event sounds on G5 machines (#8828)
  • Fixed display of chat transcripts which contain HTML codes in their content (#9591)
  • Fixed negotiation of XMPP authentication over SASL when one mechanism fails but another can succeed, as when the server support GSSAPI, Adium is not authorized to connect via GSSAPI, but Adium has a valid username/password combination to use instead. (#9492)

Adium X ReviewYeah! - Version: 1.2.5, 5/8/2008 02:50PM PST

I do like the idea of being able to connect to all different messenger services- and the fact us mac users can communicate with myspace messenger users is a blessing! I do get my friends telling me I'm offline though, even though I'm not, but hey nothings perfect and I always seem to 'reconnect' shortly after.
I reckon if this software did everything that mercury can do, or the latest msn for windows, this program would destroy all the other messengers. Come on guys go for it! crush em with yer bare haaaaaaands!!

Good stuff :-)

Adium X Reviewintolerable bug - Version: 1.2.5, 4/29/2008 12:13AM PST

It's a great client -- if only they would fix the bug where I'm unable to set for *all my accounts* the private setting to allow contacts only from contacts on my contact list (the setting doesn't stick). Every time I log in, I get 15 or so unsolicited messages. Why they haven't fixed this yet is beyond me, because it's a longstanding bug judging from their bug tracking system.

Adium X CommentaryVersion 1.2.4 - Broke ICQ - Version: 1.2.4, 4/3/2008 11:56AM PST

Since upgrading to 1.2.4, I have been unable to connect/use ICQ. This happened the moment I upgraded and I've found several posts where others are having the same problem. Adium posted somewhere that the problem was with AOL, but from everything I can tell, it's a flaw in the newest update.

Now I'm trying to find out how to revert to 1.2.3.
