Zzzzz, cerggl fpebyyvat nobhg obk 🙂
If you are getting a crash on launch with the newest binary, ‘Get Info’ on Adium in the finder and disable the ‘Event Bezel’ plugin.
This is already fixed in the CVS, so it should work as expected in the next binary 🙂
New message prefix preferences are in for the next binary! 🙂
Message prefixes can now contain time stamps, specify alias/userName display, conditionally display additional text, contain inline messages, and support tail prefixing. When a prefix with an inline message is used, the message view will hide user icons and bubbles, reverting back to a classic IM look.
It’s pretty spiffy stuff, and more powerful than the preferences let on. 🙂
Because of these changes, you must either:
A) User the message display preferences to select a prefix from the menu
or
B) When Adium is closed, trash the file located at (From your home folder):
~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/Message Display.plist
to reset your prefixes to the new defaults.
Okay, after much ado with a string of magically compressed binaries, I think I’ve finally got it – Mike Hamburg suggested to me ssh’ing into my own box via cron, and that seems to work just fine (the binary up right now was generated by a cron-scheduled execution). For real this time, look for builds at 4 AM Central. 🙂
File transfer is coming along nicely; I’m wrapping it up so while it may be initially ugly as I concentrate on the nitty-gritty side of things, the beautiful file transfer UI which Adam has promised me will be easy to hook up.
Hey all you user icon haters! 😉 There’s now a preference to hide the things in Messages->Display.
Even better: In the next binary, it will also hide the rounded corners in the message view! The iconless and squared off message view is very simplistic and clean, I think some of you will enjoy it. 🙂
We’ve discovered a new tool for finding memory leaks (‘leaks’ from the command line)! 🙂
As a result, builds from here on out should be gobbling up a lot less ram as time goes on. This should have a noticeable, positive impact on performance, especially after using Adium for extended periods of time.
