This beta fixes some minor bugs as well as adding an option to automatically clear file transfers from the transfer list once they successfully finish.

Regarding Snow Leopard, current versions of Chax are not compatible with 10.6. Chax will not load under any circumstances, nor can you make any tweak to force it to load. I have yet to determine what the future of Chax will be on Snow Leopard, but there will be no Snow Leopard-compatible version of Chax at least until Snow Leopard ships in September.

Changes from Chax 2.2.1:

• (Note) The preference for “Show Text Status” in the View menu has been reset for improved compatability for future releases
• (New) Option to automatically clear successful file transfers
• (New) Can now remove individual items from the activity window with the delete key
• (Bug) Activity window dates now use the system-defined date and time formats
• (Bug) Fixed the unified contact list position not saving for some localizations
• (Bug) Reduced log viewer load time

A couple of minor bugs have been fixed since the last beta. I’ve also finally added the ability to rearrange groups in the unified contact list, like you can do in the individual contact lists.

Changes from Chax 2.2:

• (New) Added the ability to manage groups and contacts to the unified contact list.
• (New) Added an option to flip images when taking a camera snapshot (Buddies -> Send Camera Snapshot…)
• (New) Can now add and remove contacts from the unified contact list
• (New) Can now rearrange groups in the unified contact list
• (Bug) Fixed issues with the unified contact list updating when moving contacts from one group to another.
• (Bug) Dates in the activity log respect locale setting.
• Updated German localization (thanks to Christoph Schmitz)

This beta adds the ability to manage your contacts from the unified contact list, which should further reduce the need to ever use the individual contact lists in iChat. Add contacts and groups through the plus button; remove contacts by selecting them and hitting delete. Also added is the ability to flip images when using the send camera snapshot feature. This flips snapshots so that objects appear naturally and text is readable.

Changes from Chax 2.2:

• Added the ability to manage groups and contacts to the unified contact list.
• Added an option to flip images when taking a camera snapshot (Buddies -> Send Camera Snapshot…)

It’s been a long time in coming, but Chax 2.2 is finally available. There are two new features since the beta: an option to confirm before closing active AV chats, and a way to quickly send a snapshot from a iSight or other connected camera as an inline image or file transfer (Send Camera Snapshot… in the Buddies menu).

Safari 4 DP Users: There is a bug in the Safari 4 beta that will cause iChat and Chax to occasionally crash. Downgrade to Safari 3 to avoid these crashes. The public beta Safari 4 appears to have resolved these issues.

Changes from Chax 2.1.2:

• (New) Message history shows messages from the previous conversation in new chat windows
• (New) Send Camera Snapshot in the Buddies menu allows you to instantly send a picture from your camera as an inline image
• (New) Added option to confirm before ending AV chats
• (New) Added multitouch swipe gesture to switch tabs in message window
• (New) Hidden default SaveWindowFrames saves per-contact window positions
• (New) Hidden default ShowSenderAccount shows the active account in each conversation
• (Bug) Fixed parsing logs with some languages
• (Bug) New chat windows no longer steal focus when using auto-accept
• (Bug) Fixed unlocalized UI elements appearing in some languages

The latest beta of Warp includes a couple minor bug fixes as well as a new floating pager that gives you constant access to your spaces. The pager shows you a live preview of each space; clicking on another space will switch to it. Visibility of the pager can be toggled with a hot key.

Changes from Warp 1.1.1:

• Added a floating pager that allows rapid switching between spaces.
• Click-to-warp floating window no longer appears when dragging items.
• Fixed wrapping around a single row or column of spaces.
• The Warp helper application now automatically relaunches when updating.
