TRILLIAN 5 FOR WINDOWS PUBLIC BETA:

* Trillian 5 is a new "major release" and Pro customers will need to purchase a new license at a discount. Our 30 day pricing protection has been enabled from the point of our first announcement, meaning 30 days before July 1st, 2010. Therefore, if you purchased Pro anytime after June 1st, 2010 you've already got Trillian 5! Licenses are still on sale during our beta and will return to full price upon final release.

* Synchronized activity history is not yet ready for this build and will be unveiled in a future beta build of Trillian 5. We are still hard at work on the backend to make this possible.

* We will immediately begin the process of fixing bugs and tweaking features for Trillian 5.

* Dark theme lovers: a black theme is on the way!

* News on Trillian for Android public beta is coming next!

I think it's stupid they're charging people for v5 for people who bought Astra.. I mean I seriously JUST BOUGHT Astra. :angry:

How long ago did you buy it? If its within a reasonable time I believe you are eligible for a free upgrade.

They need to make money to pay the developers of the software, you cannot just expect them to hand you everything for free.

Loving Trillian 5, soon as PayPal fixes my account will get my upgrade for Pro!

April 19th of THIS YEAR.

And I bought my friends two copies of it too.

That was what, almost four months ago? You really expect it for free? I could truly understand if it was last week, two weeks ago, or even last month.. but it was four months ago!

Besides, Cerulean Studios is not forcing you to upgrade right now. Astra support will last for a while. Heck, they still (for now) support 3.1! If you truly feel that you do not want to spend the money to upgrade then just wait a few months.

This is a beta...there should be no pro version. Let people pre-order if they want by all means, but to ask your paying customers to have to pay again to use a beta? That's just ridiculous, it's like asking you to pay for testing their software.

During the Astra beta everyone had pro accounts.

That is true, but you are also pre-ordering your upgrade license. I half expected them to at least allow Astra Pro users to have Pro features.

Its not like you wouldn't be paying for it when it came out as final if you wanted those features.

MSN Avatars aren't updating for me, they are all placeholder ones?

Don't seem to be having that problem. Haven't seen much mention of it on the Cerulean Studios Forums either. Did you happen to have a previous version of Trillian installed prior to installing the Public beta? If so, try uninstalling it and running CCleaner. :)

Yeah I did, just looked again and some avatars are showing while most aren't.

Hmm.. perhaps they are just taking there time on updating? I know I generally had to talk to people first (while they were online) before their avatars would update for me on Trillian 4.0-4.2.

Yeah looks that way,

one annoyance is that you can only have global tabbed chats, or by contact list group, why not by service? :/

Well, its not feature complete. Why not suggest it to Cerulean Studios? Sounds like a good idea to me. Anyways, glad to see you at least know how to get rid of your issue. As annoying as it may be.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
