What's New in This Release:
New features:
Proxy support: you can now use HTTP or Socks proxies.
Typing notifications: you can see when the person you are talking to is typing.
Automatic Reconnection: when a non fatal connection error occurs (e.g. network failure), the account is automatically reconnected after a few seconds.
Idleness: servers are notified when you are idle so that your status can be changed.
Better handling of chat rooms: the topic of the room is displayed, the list of participants is displayed, IRC commands work.
Findbar: It is now easy to search in a conversation, with a findbar similar to the Firefox one. A notable difference is that it searches backwards by default, so that the most recent matching messages are found first.
Universal build: The mac binary now also works on PPC Macs.
Updated: Instantbird 0.1.3 is now based on libpurple 2.5.2 and Mozilla 1.9.1b2.
Improved stability: we used the crash reports that we got from the 0.1.2 release and nightly builds to fix bugs that resulted in crashes.
