KMess - Live Messenger client for KDE

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.0alpha

Notes:
We're happy to announce the first preview release of KMess 2.
Over the past 4 months we've been really busy porting KMess to
KDE 4 and making it stable again. This release marks the end of
those porting efforts.

Currently, KMess 2 still looks much like KMess 1.5.1 but is run
as a Qt 4 / KDE 4 application. The real development of new features,
like support for msn-http and webcams, is just about to begin.
Some features, like receiving hand-written messages and fast retype
of previous sentences, have been added already.

We're using it as our main client already, but there might still
be some issues lurking. Please test this alpha release
and tell us how it's working for you!
