Conversations in Tabs
Conversations are grouped in Tabs, ensuring you never feel swamped by conversations windows poping up everywhere.
The tabs are easy to use: you can drag them to reorder them, or move a conversation into a new window.

What's New in This Release:

• Localized in Finnish, French, Polish and Russian. Support for more languages will come in later releases.
• Redesigned Conversation window
• Preferences window: Instantbird finally has a preferences window. Even though it will look very familiar to users of Firefox or Thunderbird, it contains lots of options that are very specific to Instantbird.
• Visual refresh: The conversations windows, the buddy list and the account manager have been visually simplified to improve their usability, especially when resized to small windows.
• Better status handling
• Basic log viewer accessible from the buddy list or conversation tab context menus.
• Buddy list context menu: provides a way to remove buddies, move buddies between groups and an option to show offline buddies.
• Alias buddies: usable from the buddy list context menu, or with the F2 key.
• Protocol plugins can be loaded as extensions. See our blog post for more details.
• Installer on Windows.
• Lots of minor improvements, among them
• Updated: Instantbird 0.2 is based on libpurple 2.6.6 and Mozilla 1.9.2.7.
• Improved stability: we used the crash reports that we got from the 0.2 pre-releases and nightly builds to fix bugs that resulted in crashes.
