As mentioned recently, Cerulean Studios has released the first beta of Trillian Astra version 5.2. This instant messaging program allows chatting with users of a variety of 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.

From now on, Cerulean Studios will release new versions faster, which means that fewer new features will be introduced per release. In version 5.2 we find, among other things, a built-in spell check, the integration with Windows 7 has been improved and it is easier to send Tweets. In addition, the necessary bugs have also been fixed. Below are the release notes for this release.

Trillian for Windows: New beta! (5.2Build 8)

Lots of great stuff in the new Trillian 5.2, now available for public beta testing! As with our Mac version, we’re making an effort this year to keep our releases slightly smaller in scope so that we can get them to you on a more regular basis. Our goals for the Windows product this year are to keep updates flowing smoothly, to tackle a large batch of group chat enhancements and feature requests, and to release a few other surprises we’ve been working on lately. So what’s new in 5.2?

  • Native spell check integration. Our message windows and social windows will now make sure you’re not making any mistakes when you type! Auto-correct optional.
  • Better Windows 7 support. Seen above, we now have the ability to split tabbed chats into their individual windows in the taskbar and have also added some great new jumplist features. Of course, these all work on the new Windows 8 too!
  • Twitter update. Although we’ve always supported both native retweets and the older-style retweets, the option was buried in a preference. We’ve taken the time to tidy things up a bit and now expose both methods directly in the right click menu! You can also now follow conversations right inside of Trillian among other improvements.

As always, we’ve also taken the opportunity to fix a giant chunk of bugs in this release, bringing improved performance and stability to the product. We hope you enjoy the new beta!
