Adium 1.2, the duck has landed.

Adium LogoFlying out of beta status, Adium 1.2 made a full-fledged public release today. And we were just talking about the beta release right before Christmas... Starting with an improved menubar item and account management features, the new features and bugfixes in 1.2 get too numerous for this post, so be sure to head for the Adium blog to find out what's new.

I will go ahead and mention one improvement that I'm personally excited about: AppleScript support has been improved in the new build and we'll be seeing outside projects interfacing with Adium more easily now. Non-U.S. users will also want to take a fresh look at 1.2 as it now sports over a dozen localizations.

Adium 1.2 is free and available for download!

Thanks Samuel & Thomas!

@Zac West I took a punt that "over a dozen" would include way more than half for non-English languages. Turns out 3 out of 21 localisations are in variations of the English language and I wager any person with English as a first language would be able to cope with any of them.

I do wonder what the heck is the difference between the three of them though, assuming US English is a 22nd (and default) language.

BTW, not sure how to reply directly to your comment as the blog system doesn't make it obvious. Hope this works.

Adium's conversation logging capabilities have been broken for me ever since late October. I was hoping this update would fix that, but it hasn't.

I've tried switching completely to iChat before, but always come back to Adium. I just like it better. But this might help ease the transition.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong with my Adium logging?

You can install some extra dock icon replacement from http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id=1 and get fun.

Adium is almost perfect. 9 of 10 starts only for the lack of A/V support.

what about the blank contact lists in this version? any contact that is not active shows up in the contact list as grey text in version 1.1.1 but is blank in this version. So I cant contact anyone?

My biggest annoyance with Adium has been that when I delete someone from my list it removes them from Adiums list but not MSN's. I got told my biddy list was full last month when I only had 104 people in it.

I have to go in via the official client and painstakingly delete each unwanted contact one by one (no multiple deletes in the Mac official client).

Such a pain!

try this:

in the menubar click Adium then privacy settings...

you might be able to remove contacts from there

I'm interested in the applescript comments. OK, cool that it has improved applescript support. But what are some great examples of how this feature can be used? I have trouble thinking of any.

I love how it shows the number of unread IMs in the menu bar at the top.

Err, yeah. Like nobody else in the world speaks English?

BTW, when are we going to get this single, unified messaging concept working? Ever?
