Trillian now supports group chat typing indicators and read receipts to help your conversations with groups feel more alive.

They'll also break through any muted windows or users who've marked themselves as do not disturb, so use them appropriately!

And as always, we spent some time roasting a few bugs while we had the hood up. To coincide with the launch of our new enterprise plan, we've been hard at work on some new enterprise-class features like 2FA and urgent messages as well as making some much-needed improvements to how messages and pictures are sent. If this ever picks up, clients like Trillian won't have a problem to add it.īut you can say bye to Skype, ICQ, MSN/FB and other useful protocols and also WhatsApp or telegram, which are not really interesting in allowing third-party apps like Trillian to API their servers.Trillian 6.3 and Trillian Server 6.3 are now available for all customers. Yet another attempt at creating a global decentralized IM service. Jabber and XMPP might be a thing of the past, unless we get back to a golden era of protocol-exchange like in the past, like the guys at are working in.
