We’ve got some coverage over at Ars Technica and TUAW. Here’s a rundown of the stuff coming:

  • Tabs - Hoorah! We’re in the 21st century with client features. Even iChat hasn’t caught up here yet. Although Chax helps out there
  • Archiving - This one was braindead obvious. We didn’t get it done in time due to political reasons
  • Spotlight searching - Goes along with archiving
  • Voice Chats - As we said in the release notes for Beta 1, voice is coming.

So there you have it. There are obvious bug fixes and other things coming that I can’t talk about, but that should hold most people over until we release the final version of 3.0. The (huge) delay in our beta 2 release is basically because of Voice — it takes time porting software across platforms. However never fear, it will be awesome!
