On Monday, Adium X, the open-source instant messaging client with support for multiple programs (including AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo! Google Talk, Bonjour, etc.) was updated to version 1.1.2.
The new version, a 13.9 megabyte download, adds the following fixes and changes:
-Added preference to turn off the contact list animations (Preferences->Advanced->Contact List).
-Option+Close now closes all other tabs.
-Fixed a memory leak and potential visual glitch when viewing tooltips for contacts.
-Fixed display of AIM contacts after they return from being mobile via ‘forward to mobile’.
-Fixed retention of the ‘docked’ status of the contact list across launches.
-Fixed drawing glitches and improved performance in the Events preferences pane and Events tab of the Get Info window.
-Fixed default showing of offline contacts, which was turned on in 1.1. As of 1.1.2, this is off by default, as it was in versions of Adium prior to 1.1. This can always be changed from the View menu.
