Here’s the change log for the “Major” updates. I know, a lame excuse for a post. Get Adium here!

Major Changes

Complete redesign of the Contact Inspector (formerly the Get Info Window) (#1148)
- Complete interface overhaul (#1148, #9373)
- Profiles for combined contacts now display in a unified fashion
- Combined contacts’ contents are now managed in the contact list; they automatically expand in the contact list when inspected
- Increased buddy info retrieval speed
- Fixed management of serverside group associations from the Contact Inspector (#1872)
Added Facebook Chat service to Adium (#9607)
- Known limitation: logging into Facebook Chat via Adium will log you out of the Facebook website.
Added a search field to the Standard Contact List window (#6444)
- This can be accessed either from the Edit menu (⌘F) or by blindly typing into contact list (the previously-existing type-ahead find feature).
Switched to MSN-Pecan, a new MSN library for libpurple. Notable changes with MSN-Pecan:
- Support for personal messages
- Improved error handling for networking issues
- Improved http method support
Major performance improvements, most notable when signing on multiple accounts simultaneously and when chatting while other applications are making heavy use of your hard drive.
Tons of improvements and fixes, big and small – see below for all the details!

Well, I'm pretty much addicted to all things Apple, and Twitter. That's probably all you really need to know. If I'm not posting here, I'm probably wasting time on Twitter.
