Psi is the premiere Instant Messaging application designed for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. Built upon an open protocol named Jabber, Psi is a fast and lightweight messaging client that utilises the best in open source technologies.

After over a year of hard work, we are thrilled to finally release 0.11. A lot of stuff happened over all this time, including a complete rework of the codebase to support the newest Qt4 library. Some of the changes in 0.11 include:

• Reworked account registration process (including proper support for XEP-0077 (In-band registration))
• Finished support for XEP-0004 (Data Forms) by supporting forms in messages. (thanks to Roelof Naude)
• Added support for JEP-0070 (Verifying HTTP Requests via XMPP).
• Customizable shortcuts (thanks to Ephraim)
• Added spell checking (thanks to Ephraim). Currently only aspell is supported on non-Macs.
• Added option to automatically set the resource (using the hostname)
• Added new default Stellar3 iconset
• Added support for JEP-138 (Stream Compression)
• Added support for using JEP-33 (Extended Stanza Addressing) to multicast messages to multiple users. Use option.enable-multicasting to enable it.
• Added ‘Show status message’ toggle. There is a hidden option to put status messages under the nickname (at the cost of 2 extra pixels when no status message is shown)
• Support for Bookmark Storage (JEP-0048), where bookmarked conferences are auto-joined. No UI is provided for creating bookmarks (yet).
• Better error messages, including error condition mappings (JEP-0086)
