[Adium-devl] xblaze (was Adium plug-ins and xtras site)

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi,

For your information, I contacted the developer of Xblaze, suggesting  
that
he place a notice on the main page of the project and remove the binary.
He has done so, and it is now available only in source form from his SVN
site. Hopefully that will help reduce the number of people  
downloading it
and expecting it to work without any issues with Adium.

Andre
