The Adium team releases Adium X 1.0
[digg it]
The Adium team has released Adium X 1.0, bringing major AIM, ICQ, and .Mac improvements to the free open-source instant messaging application for Mac OS X. Adium enables users to connect to any number of messaging accounts on any combination of supported messaging services to chat with others. Adium X 1.0 includes working file transfers, faster sign-ons, and a global user profile as well as buddy icon settings. The latest revision allows users to disable accounts when not in use, and friends can sign on from another user's Adium client without saving their information. The update adds an Xtras manager to better handle browsing as well as removing Xtras, and boasts significant improvements to privacy settings. iTunes integration is "much faster," according to the Adium team, updating as soon as the song changes. The latest revision also includes a redesigned chat transcript (log) viewer, and runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. Adium X 1.0 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

as for support for video, I use aMSN if I really want to video chat with friends and their PC version of MSN...but most of them have started to switch to Macs so we use iChat now
