Here's a quick preview of a skin I have in development at the moment for Astra

It's currently about 85-90% complete.. The main colours are the black and white, the other bright ones were for testing the theme options - I'll probably keep them in there as options though.

Glad to see the legendary Juz finally over here! :p

I'm a huge fan of your skins, keep up the good work! (Y)

I use to use Trillian all the time, for all my instant messaging but then I switched to Trillian because it use to randomly crash and had a memory problem when I opened up several programs. I then switched to GAIM2.0, however after seeing the previous of the Trillian Astra I might go back.

Now only if Trillian Astra will be able to read the GAIM2.0 logs like how GAIM2.0 is able to read Trillian3.1 logs.

I really like how in Gaim you can merge contacts (as in, put them under one name). Is Astra going to be able to do that?

I swear this is turning into another Duke Nukem. Is this ever going to be released for the public to try? They can show us screenshot after screenshot and tell us what the features do, but until they actually allow more than a few people to try it its just vaperware.

I wouldn't say it is comparable to vaporware. If it was, there would be no people getting it.

Though, of course they are going at a slow 50 invites per week, with more than 10,000 sign-ups.

Argh, I signed up for this way way way back when they were asking for 50 people at first, and I also signed up right away when the signup page went up, I was also a Pro member, and I still haven't gotten an invite. Really wish someone would leak this already, 3.0 got leaked almost right away.

I've heard build 028.0.714 is out there ;)

There's also rumors that this leaked build is packed with an FTD pick-me-up trojan, so use it at your own risk. Anyway, those that have paid for the Pro version should be given access to the Alpha/Betas. Its the least they could do for dragging their butts between versions.

I agree but the developers don't. I was in the alpha/beta for 3.0 also and I still can't get into this one to save my life.

On first glance, that tiled graphic display would be a slightly awful idea for my current chat applications.

Imagine how far you'd have to scroll for 300+ contacts :p

The rest looks great though. I've always been a fan of Trillian, and it's nice to see their trying to get in with the Mac users (though will be very tough with Adium).

I look forward to this release. :)

I think it's an option to do that, as my Astra does not do that. :p. You can turn them on via options. And surprisingly, it displays my contacts alot better, I can see much more of them at one time, instead of the list one that made me scroll. :p

I just got in early today. It's a great application, lots of great features. :D

Edited by Cole
I got build .28, but I obviously can't login because I'm not a tester (yet), but the login looks sorta nice ;)

I bet someone will create a get round patch...but I think I will wait for a public beta :)

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
