Unfortunately, a ’small’ mistake in Adium 1.2.6 causes major problems over XMPP. We have found and corrected the problem. Adium_1.2.7b1 is available with the fix, [24183].

Please note that this is a beta of 1.2.7. We’ll try to have a release of 1.2.7 out once we’ve verified that there are no other new problems in 1.2.6 (relative to 1.2.5) which should be addressed at the same time.

Please don’t chime in with every old problem, pet peeve, or enhancement request in the comments of this post!

Caveat emptor: As a beta version, Adium 1.2.7b1 will be very eager to update you to the latest beta, Adium 1.3b6. That’s probably not what you want if you’re sticking to Adium 1.2.x. If you install Adium 1.2.7b1, and you want to update to Adium 1.2.7 when it is released, you will need to check adiumx.com manually and update manually. Otherwise, you will continue to be notified of Adium 1.3 beta updates until Adium 1.3 is released.

Adium 1.3b6 is plagued by the same problem as Adium 1.2.6 with XMPP; this will be fixed for the Adium 1.3 beta series in Adium 1.3b7.

Coming in Adium 1.2

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Adium 1.2, our next major goal, is going to be a crazy awesome release. In the last two days we've finished the initial merges of our Google Summer of Code 2007 students' efforts; it'll be some time and effort before the development trunk of Adium is stable and close to a release with all these incoming changes, but it'll be well worth it. The Summer of Code was a huge success:

Andy Monitzer made many improvements to libpurple's XMPP/Jabber support, benefiting not only Adium, but also Pidgin and Finch.

Erich Kreutzer modernized, fixed, and expanded Adium's Bonjour support, implementing file transfer in the process.

Erik Beerepoot worked on multi-user conferencing in Adium, making good strides toward a more full-featured, shiny group chat experience.

Matt Handley greatly expanded Adium's AppleScript support; it will now be possible to control Adium easily via AppleScript, paving the way to even more great user content and control customizability.

Andre Cohen implemented snapping / detachable groups which let you detach groups from the contact list into free-floating windows

In addition, Adium 1.2 will utilize libpurple 2.2.0, which will bring a number of improvements, most notably the results of a Google Summer of Code project for Pidgin by Jeff Connelly which has added MySpaceIM support.

SoC: XMPP XEP Published!

Wednesday, August 08, 2007

A rather unusual result of this year's Summer of Code is a new XMPP extension I created:

XEP-0224: Attention

The basic idea behind it is to send someone an "attention grabbing" message. This is known on other protocols as buzz or nudge. In Adium, it will probably let the window send ripples like dropped widgets in in Dashboard in version 1.2, if somebody can fix the bugs this feature currently has.

I guess I'll get cursed for this extension, since it's a rather annoying feature. However, my implementation in Adium can be disabled from the account settings!

Huzzah! 2007 Edition

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

As discussed previously, Adium is participating in this year's Google Summer of Code.

Google gave us six slots, just like last year. We've made our choices; here they are:

Adding Voice Support to Adium by Implementing a Basic A/V Backend and IAX: Student: Justin Berka
Mentor: Alan Humpherys
More information on IAX.
Improving group chat: Student: Erik Beerepoot
Mentor: David Smith
Unit testing: Student: Patrick Gibson
Mentor: Brian Ganninger
Fix & expand AppleScript support: Student: Matt Handley
Mentor: Peter Hosey
Improving Adium's XMPP (Jabber) Support: Student: Andreas Monitzer
Mentor: Augie Fackler
Features Andreas wants to implement: Gateway support, PEP, user tune, user avatar, user nickname, OTR-over-Jabber improvements, better hyperlinking over Jabber, discovery browsing, ad-hoc commands, and possibly invisibility.
Improved Bonjour Support: Student: Erich Kreutzer
Mentor: Andrew Wellington

On Jabber: Yes, we had a similar project last year, but that was using Smack (a separate Jabber library), which we had to drop because of the Java-Cocoa bridge going away. Andreas is back to do it again in libpurple.

Also, we're not going to have a separate student blog this year. Students' blog posts will be here, on the main blog.
