After months of development and a few pre-release versions, the Instantbird team is pleased to release to the general public a second major version of Instantbird.

Instantbird is a Mozilla-powered instant messaging client. It aims to be very easy to use, yet very powerful. Being built on the same XUL platform as Firefox, it shares its great extensibility.

Instantbird 0.2 is now available in 5 languages thanks to the great work of translators from the community. For those who have tried Instantbird 0.1 back in 2007 when it was first released, Instantbird 0.2 may feel like a completely different software. The most dramatically changed area is the conversation window where there are new tabs and message styles, but there are notable changes in almost every window. For a list of changes, see the release notes.
