Hi everyone,

We have rolled out the first alpha of Trillian 4 and have been knee-deep in bug reports! The alpha is currently in the hands of roughly 40 people, and we will be expanding the tester count in the coming weeks. The next phase of testing will involve sending the build to those of you who signed up via e-mail a while back. We've had quite a few bugs/suggestions reported (59 bugs fixed so far!) since we started, and are continuing to add new features as feedback warrants.

Please remember - as we bring more of you into the testing team, the product will still be considered 'alpha'. This means it's not done yet, and it also means we're listening to your feature suggestions as opposed to just fixing bugs in existing features.

Thanks!

Statistics as of this post...

Current Build: 4.0.0.17

Number of Alpha Testers: 36

Bugs fixed so far: 59

Bugs still open: 48

I'm not too fond of Trillian because it's such a resource hog, and I've found a lot of its features to either be annoying or buggy, even to the point of being completely nonfunctional, and I expect T4 to be exactly the same, if not just a feature creaping version of 3. Hopefully T4 will prove me wrong.

But in any case, it's not an issue as I'm using Adium >:D.

They never seem to comment on requests for native skinning of the GUI so I doubt we'll see it. I suggest making your voice heard over in their forums if you want it. I know I sure do!

I don't think T3 was a resource hog as mine is using about 7~8 meg with AIM, MSN and Rendevous protocols running. The problem is the GUI is clunky and slow. T3 is also very slow to exit on shutdown too. Anyway, I stopped paying for updates cause they're so damn slow with them. They're like MS where everything is piled up for some big release. The only developers slower than MS and Celurean are the developers of an emulator called "MagicEngine".

Is the online time bug on AIM fixed where every buddy is shown to be online for 1 minute? It has been a bug for over 1 1/2 years.

This is probably why I will not repurchase my subscription to Trillian. There has been so many bugs (most of them small) that go ignored by the developers. I have tried a few other multi protocol chat programs and none of them come close to Trillian.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
