The Adium team is proud to announce the release of Adium 1.0, the  
premier free, open source multiprotocol instant messaging client for  
Mac OS X.  Adium 1.0 brings over 600 enhancements and bug fixes, the  
culmination of over a year and a half of development. New features  
include a shiny new default appearance, an installation setup  
assistant, improved account management, privacy management, iTunes  
Now Playing status, optional Dock-like hiding of the contact list,  
grouping of saved status messages, a chat transcript viewer with  
improved searching, and much more.  AIM file transfer and Direct  
Connect image transfer improvements, Yahoo invisible status,  
receiving of MSN custom emoticons, and Google Talk buddy icons and  
typing indication support are a few other notable additions.

Adium 1.0 adds QQ messaging support to its repertoire of 13 services  
which include AIM, MSN, Google Talk, and Yahoo; it is translated into  
20 languages.  Adium is fast, lightweight, and highly customizable.  
Adium 1.0 can be downloaded  immediately from http://www.adiumx.com.
