[Updates] Adium, Mercury Messenger and Transmission
Like every week, come prepared to discuss some of the most important software updates that have occurred in recent days. This has been a productive week because there has been a lot of upgrades both from Apple, as he usually does, as third party applications.
Throughout the week we talked about the updated iPhoto to version 8 and Safari is updated to 4.03 version
In the extended entry will talk about the three third party applications chosen for this week: Adium, Mercury Messenger and Transmission. You’ll also see a small list of applications that we found interesting to mention that have been updated in the last seven days.
Adium (1.3.6)
Perhaps one of the most popular applications for Mac and cataloged essential by many. It is a messenger Multiplatform Multiprotocol able to connect to many networks (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, GMail, Facebook, etc.). with a very nice interface and plenty of configuration, it lacks any interesting option as the possibility of videoconferencing networks that support to make it the perfect messaging application. One of the novelties of this version is the solution of some problems that occurred when attempting to connect to the MSN network. The free application can be downloaded from its official website. There is also a development version (1.4b9 now) very stable, at least in my case, disponible para la descarga
Mercury Messenger (1.9.5)
We Adium Mercury Messenger, a messaging client made in Java for the MSN network, also free. It is less known and far less visually spectacular, but it has many configuration options. Almost all options have the MSN Messenger (Windows Live Messenger) original of Windows, the Mac is still quite green, as are good and fast file transfer management and especially support for sending and receiving video. On the web we found this new version for download and the version 2.0RC1, described as unstable, to see what awaits us in future versions.
Transmission (1.74 )
| Upgrade to 1.74 | Transmission is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients for Mac. It’s my personal choice because of the configuration possibilities that is without sacrificing simplicity, besides having a clear and clean interface, encryption and DHT support, and does not consume many system resources. In this new version 1.74, as always, correct faults carried over from previous versions, improving the overall stability of the application, plus many other new features. The application is available for download through a recently renewed official website. It’s free.
Besides these applications, others perhaps not so well known or of which we have discussed above have been updated, here’s the list:
- Ecoute – 1.2.3
- GlimmerBlocker – 1.4
- The Unarchiver – 2.0
- OnyX – 2.0.5
- CleanApp – 3.1.6
- Speed Download – 5.2.2
That’s all for now. Is there any update interesting that we have overlooked? Send us your comments and try to talk about the applications that you seem more interesting in the future.
