Chax, the handy iChat plugin that offers tabbed chats and much more, has a new beta available that offers tear-off tabs for those times when you don't want to put all your
eggs chats in one basket.
Announced on the author's blog, this new version also allows exporting activity log data as HTML. Of course, various bug fixes are also included in what is technically 1.4.6 beta 2.
The author is also going to release the complete Chax source code once 1.4.6 goes official, offering iChat hackers and other Cocoa-hopefuls a little more help in their quest for creating the next killer __________.
You can download your copy of the beta from
this latest blog entry.

Isn't the tab feature a default in Leopard's iChat? Of course, besides the other features Chax offers, I think most of its users do it for tabbed conversations.

I don't get it, what does this have to do with the showtime event? =)

I agree. It would be too not-Apple to not implement something into Leopard that people have to use a hack to get. Personally I'm waiting to see how the Apple design minds would do it.

By that line of reasoning Unsanity would be out of business.

It's not just tabs. It's a whole fleet of other changes to iChat too. Like the extremely annoying 'Do you want to accept this message' before every new IM. Probably my favorite feature after the tabs. Plus lot's more stuff that makes using iChat much easier.
But I too wonder about the fate of Chax in Leopard....
