Download Gaim 2.0.0 beta 6

The developers behind Gaim are still working hard and believe that the final release of version 2.0.0 will not be long in coming. It’s not that far yet, but the sixth beta release of this multi-protocol, cross-platform instant messaging program was released the day before yesterday. The software is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows, among others, and is compatible with AIM (Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu -Gadu and Zephyr networks. This release comes without a changelog, but there were some comments from some of the developers:

Sean:

• Barring any seriously major new issues, we expect this to be the final beta release before 2.0.0. This has a bunch of cool UI changes, some Google Talk features, a bunch of new plugins, and other goodness.

Nathan:

• Beta6 rocks. That’s all.

Gary:

• Long time no news. My silence will end soon 😉

Eve:

• My first news! I knocked out a nice collection of crashes, thanks in part to my ever-patient Adium beta testers. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to be delicious. 🙂
