Since my previous post on Adium X 1.0 Beta 1, the final version of 1.0 is finally released. Adium is a free instant messaging application for Mac OS X, released under the GNU GPL and developed by the Adium team.

I believe the above statement says it all about Adium. In a single application, you can connect to ICQ, MSN and Yahoo networks, so that you can send messages with your peers on your contact list.

Some major changes are:

• * Added global user profile and buddy icon settings. (Personal Preferences)
• * General Account improvements. Accounts can now be disabled when not in in use, and friends can now sign on from your Adium without saving their information.
• * Added an Xtras manager for better browsing and removing of Xtras.
• * Major improvements in privacy settings.
• * Improvements to the default look and feel of Adium.
• * iTunes integration is much faster, and updates as soon as the song changes.
• * Redesigned Chat Transcript (Log) Viewer
• * Optional dock-like hiding of the contact list
• * Requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Universal Binary)
