Just two days after Adium released version 0.83, version 0.84 of the chat software has been released. Essentially we're talking bug fix. Major bug fix, in fact. Apparently some people had bits and pieces of their buddy list magically disappear. Yours truly is grateful not to have been among their ranks.

That all being said, I'd strongly suggest you go fetch Adium 0.84. And I assure you, this is not the least bit normal for them. It also, apparently, goes completely against their month and a half of beta testing.
