The current supported languages are French, German, Russian and Portuguese (BR).

The notification system has been improved and you will get notifications as popup messages, as sounds or as status bar messages depending on the situation.
Now it's more comfortable to know about your new instant messages from your contacts or file transfer status. Now comes with system tray support (Linux only) which works very well with the new notification system.
Better support for unicode, so that you can communicate with friends all over the world.
The management of chat logs has been improved with a search mechanism and with groupware support.
There is a new search line which let you see only the needed chat logs.
The groupware support (Kolab1 compatible) helps you to store your chat logs on the server for sharing it with other people or just to have your important data available from different locations.
The chat list view has alternative background color for a better visibility.
You can send/request authorization when you need. Adding a new contact will manage the authorizations automaticaly. The layout for authorization dialog has been fixed.

The Kolab support is better too.
The contacts view list is using alternative background for a better visibility.

The ability to view/open attachments or the help files in Windows XP (SP1, SP2) is fixed.
