Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 6 has just been released officially yesterday. According to the release note:

Sean: Barring any seriously major new issues, we expect this to be the final beta release before 2.0.0. This has a bunch of cool UI changes, some Google Talk features, a bunch new plugins, and other goodness.

Nathan: Beta6 rocks. That is all.

Gary: Long time no news. My silence will end soon ;)

Evan: My first news! I knocked out a nice collection of crashes, thanks in part to my ever-patient Adium beta testers. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to be delicious. :)

The only thing noticeable is UI changes where the avatar icon in Buddy List is scaled down. Anyway, there are so many bug fixes included in this beta. Another ones are Google Talk features. In the past, there is no special cases to support extensions introduced in Google Talk. Now, some extensions are implemented. In fact, it just supports . Good start though.

If you are interesting to try it early, get it here. I merged the diff from Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 3 so it might be so old but not too old. For more information regarding Google Talk features in Gaim, read the commit log in .
