Something very cool has happened with this new version. The new Growl system preference pane works with NewsFire!! And it’s configurable, to a degree.

I only started using Adium a few or two weeks ago, but I’m now a convert! I’ve been singing it’s praises to anyone who’ll listen (and a few unlucky Windows user who are still missing out). :D

Hehe – OK. Sorry for blatantly arguing an incorrect case :)

And Jordan – Thanks for contributing to what is such a great program

im a project contributor, and probably not the person you want to be arguing with about the status of the project…

Just to clarify, no, .8 is not a final release, but it’s still a public beta, and very stable at that. Since it’s an open source project, the development process is slower, but it will be at 1.0 eventually.

0.8 is not a final version. 1.0 will be a final version. 0.8 is a sizeable step towards 1.0, but nothing more. Whilst I love Adium, I think it is wise to acknowledge that it is not worthy of 1.0 status yet, and the version number reflects this.

.8 is actually a final version. The final versions of adium go up in 0.1′s rather than whole numbers

.8 does not neccesarily mean we are two releases away from a final version

you may not truly wish to say its very close to its final release as .10.0 follows .9, not necessarily 1.0…

I love Adium – It’s the best IM app available for the Mac in my opinion
