Jabber Client Psi 0.12-RC1 released...


After only a little over four months since 0.11's release, the Psi team are delighted to announce that the first release candidate prepared for the 0.12 release. This is a great step towards a more regular release cycle, which we're sure everyone will appreciate, but this does not mean that 0.12 will be lacking in the new and cool. Recognising that Psi's user interface could be more usable at times, the majority of our changes for 0.12 revolve around usability.

The most important are:

Tabbed MUCs.

Tabbed chat has been very well received in previous releases, but has only gone to highlight just how badly tabbed groupchat/muc was needed, so we've gone ahead and implemented this. Those of us who've been using this new feature for a while can't understand quite how we did without it, and various options are available for you to tweak exactly whether mucs and chats are tabbed together, or seperately, or not at all.

Improved roster search.

The roster search function has been improved, and will now filter the roster down to only matching contacts, making it much easier to find your contacts in the list.
