The new edition runs faster, claims Cerulean, during such chores as rendering icons and start-up, adds an undo feature to the text-entry box, allows users to edit AOL Profiles in HTML, and guarantees that contacts from multiple accounts aren't accidentally merged.
Trillian comes in a for-free Basic edition and a $25 Pro version. The latter, which boasts sophisticated audio and video conferencing features, now also includes a new identities manager where users can set up and work with multiple identities for each public network.
The free and for-a-fee editions of Trillian 3.1 can be downloaded from the Cerulean Web site.
