WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.1.1:
  • Improved stability: we fixed the outstanding bugs that resulted in crashed.
  • Proper handling of non-ASCII characters. Instantbird now uses UTF-8 for all strings.
  • Usability improvements. We fixed bugs that didn't require much of our time and will significantly improve the user experience. For examples: aliases in the buddy list, linkification in the chat window, ... We also removed some common annoyances in the UI.
  • IRC Chats. In order to build a community, we thought it was critical to provide some way for users and testers to talk in a public place and not only send us private messages. The is now in the "File" menu a "Join Chat" item which will allow users and future contributors to join us in irc.mozilla.org#instantbird
REQUIREMENTS
Intel-based Mac, Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

    TCAMPBELLUT  Adium has no IRC support that I have found. This does. It's also a standard interface across multiple platforms.

    Regarding people that claim that PPCs are dead (or dying), you obviously don't have a PPC. Don't make quick statements when they obviously don't involve you. I personally have two PPC based Macs and two Intel based Macs. I have no intentions of "trashing" my PPC Macs.

    I was curious though if Instantbird will be supporting OTR Encryption at any point. If not, I won't be using it.  (Version 0.1.1)

    GUILLAUMEK  Instantbird will have a hard time gathering users. There are already many free IM clients built around libpurple (hence with the same core features). Every major system has its native libpurple+GUI implementation.

    Plus, as an implementation of libpurple, Adium is now nearing perfection.  (Version 0.1.1)
