Die Cerulean Studios haben Trillian Astra 4.2 in einer ersten Betaversion veröffentlicht. Für die meisten interessant sind vor allem die Änderungen am Live-Protokoll (MSN).
ZitatAlles anzeigenSome of the highlights of version 4.2 include:
* Windows Live. Trillian now supports signing in to WLM from multiple locations! File transfer speed has been improved (more to come), and mobile messaging is now supported.
* Notifications. You can now use notifications to directly retweet, reply to a tweet, and interface with mail right away.
* MetaContact Windows. When talking to a MetaContact, if you receive a message from another of their usernames the window will automatically switch for you.
* Instant Lookup for Hyperlinks. Move your mouse cursor on top of links to preview. Youtube links will show a preview image, too. Great for detecting NSFW links before you open them in browser, and will even resolve shortened links for you!
* Instant Lookup for Popular Terms. We now have more up-to-date Wikipedia data, and more relevant links for each popular term detected.
* Activity History. A polished look and powerful new asset view feature that lets you browse through images sent and received help improve history.
* Quicker MetaContact Creation. You can now drag and drop one contact on top of another to instantly combine them into a MetaContact.
* Other Updates. Support for Twitter’s new retweet mechanism, Twitter Lists, a customizable timeout for notification windows, and the return of custom avatar support.
* Skin Packs. Emoticon and Sound Packs have been moved to a more prominent location in preferences and are easier to change on-the-fly. You can also change contact list icons now with the new Icon Packs.
* Faster Setup For New Users. We’ve tidied up some of the screens in the installation wizard so new customers can get started more quickly than before!
