We don’t ordinarily do blog posts about betas, but I thought I’d follow up to the previous post by pointing out that 1.0b9 is now up. Besides the AIM thing, there are two other things on the changelog worth mentioning:

• MSN custom emoticons work again, though not without a few rough edges still (#3941).
• The long-awaited QQ service (#383). Hooray for the Google Summer of Code!

A lot of our Chinese users have been waiting for QQ support for a long time. As for custom emoticons, they’re not working perfectly yet (when we receive one, the message view doesn’t auto-scroll the way that it should), but they are working. I’ll throw out an informal prediction that it will be completely fixed by b10.

Happy beta-testing, and please report those bugs!
