Miranda 0.8.0 Testing #9

Miranda IM is a multi protocol instant messenger client for Windows. Miranda IM uses very little memory and is extremely fast. It requires no installation and can be fitted on a single floppy disc. Its powerful plugin system makes Miranda IM very flexible. Only the most basic features are built in, but there are currently more than 350 free plugins available for download that allows users to extend the functionality of Miranda IM.

The major change in this 0.8 series is the new Plugin API. Expect that some of your plugins won't work anymore; most plugin authors already released compatible versions, though.

Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 Beta 2

A very good news for all Mac OS lovers.Yahoo has released the much awaited Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 Beta 2 .The new version has got many new features,although voice calling is still unavailable in this version but we can still hope that it will soon be in the coming versions. :-)


This new version includes:

  • Chat rooms: The chat rooms available to the windows yahoo messenger users,now the very same are available to the Mac users.



  • Tabbed IM windows: When you have two or more conversations going on, they appear as separate tabs in a single window. Less clutter for your desktop! Plus, you can drag a tab out and make it into its own window (or drag it back in to consolidate). Tabbed conversations are a preference, so if you prefer having one window per IM conversation, you still can.



  • Message archiving: All of your IM and chat room conversations can now be archived on your computer.



  • Improved stability for webcam and file transfer: There were issues with these in the past version so the team did a lot of bug fixes and under-the-hood work to improve them.

    More emoticons:The additional emoticons that are in the other versions of Messenger are available to Mac users, so Mac users now have them all!
