Chax updated to version 1.4.6, source code now available
We're fans of Chax 'round these parts. It's one of those free iChat enhancement apps that makes iChat infinitely more usable. I am so accustomed to it that I can't remember life before iChat tabs anymore...As promised last month, Chax 1.4.6 brings us some bug fixes, a handful of new features and freely available source code.
Here's the scoop from the Read Me:
- (New) Tear-off tabs allow for quick separation of chats through drag-and-drop
- (New) Options to show the AIM/Jabber/Bonjour contact lists when clicking the iChat dock icon
- (New) Activity log data can now be exported as an HTML table
- (Feature improvement) Tab overflow menu now animates when a new message has been received that is not visible
- (New) Polish localization, thanks to Piotr Chyli?ski
- (Feature improvement) Activity log now periodically saves to disk every hour
- (Bug) Log search results now sort properly
- (Bug) Using nicknames while sorting by availability and first name now works properly
- (Bug) Tabs now close in the correct order after being rearranged
- (Bug) Fixed visual problems when disabling close buttons on tabs
- (Bug) Improved iChat quit speed
- (Preference change) Confirm quit option moved from the General preferences tab to the Chats tab
- (Removed) "Move to Window" and "Move to Tab" options removed in favor of tear-off tabs
Thanks, Brandon!
