New Software: Trillian 3 alpha
The fact that Cerulean Studios released an alpha of the upcoming Trillian 3 revision had slipped under my radar for some time, but I did finally hear about it and started playing around with the new version this week. One interesting thing I did notice is that the Basic and Pro versions now appear to be synched under a common codebase. Upon installation, I was presented with an option to choose either version and the interface is now more or less the same. The free version was previously more or less frozen at version 0.74 following the first commercial release of Trillian Pro. All in all, this test release brings interesting new features like serverless messaging over Rendezvous and more interface polish all around. At the time of this writing, the Trillian 3 alpha is only being distributed to registered users.
