What's new?
This version is more a stability/bugfix release than a feature release.
- Updated: Instantbird 0.1.2 is now based on libpurple 2.4.3 and Mozilla 1.9.0.1.
- Improved stability: we fixed the outstanding bugs that resulted in crashes. We also turned on breakpad to get more data on crashes.
- Detailed tooltips: the tooltips of the buddy list now contain detailed information.
- Under the hood: On this release we spent a lot of time on the build system. Instantbird can now be built like any other mozilla application. It doesn't require to build dependencies separately any more.
