For those of you using version 1710 (or 1.7.1.0), there is a new version, as well as a new version numbering scheme.

Changes are:

  • Universal Binary !!!
  • Offline Instant Message sending/receiving
  • Full and easier blocking of Nudges and Winks for people who don't like them
  • Improved webcam sending/receiving
  • Improved filetransfer direct connect handling
  • New contact list component, rendering should go faster, views can 'do' more
  • Unread message count in title of chat windows
  • Display picture cropping like MSN has
  • When a contact updates his/her display picture, the new picture will 'blend' into the old one.
  • Participant list in a group conversation
  • Sending keepalive messages, the chat connection will not timeout. As long as you keep the conversation open, you will always know when the contact closes it.
  • Some small but required UI improvements
  • Checking if a animated gif is 'broken' before showing it (broken gifs have no timeout between frames, cause 100% cpu)
  • A lot of other bug fixes...

One thing I found during the beta that may still be a problem is "view not found" and if you get this, reset to a default view.
