Download Trillian Astra 5.1 Build 10 Beta

Cerulean Studios has released a new beta release of version 5.1 of the instant messaging program Trillian Astra. Trillian Astra allows chatting with users of many instant messaging and social networks, including Windows Live, ICQ, Skype (text only), Twitter and Facebook. Trillian Astra is available for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and BlackBerry. In addition, there is a version that runs in a web browser and can therefore be used anywhere.

In version 5.1, the Skype integration has been improved, so that it is now finally possible to make calls, where previously only text messages could be sent via Skype. Furthermore, it is now also possible to send images via all supported networks and the conversation history has been improved. Since version 5.1 beta 7, the following issues have been fixed:

Fixed in 5.1 Build 9 -> 5.1 Build 10

We’ve released a quick build 10 to address an error in the Skype plugin. Should be back to normal!
