Astra is Cerulean Studios' latest version of Trillian. What's really great about this client is that it integrates all your (mine that is) IM-protocols. I use some protocols for my everyday work (jabber, MSN), while I use other to communicate with friends and family (AIM, Yahoo). All of them are nicely integrated in one, great interface. It even allows you to add meta-contacts with several IM-addresses attached to it.
What's really new about Astra (at least for my part) is it's web-interface - you can actually log into a web-page and start chatting away with your contacts on the protocol of your choice. The fact that they're actually in the process of making a OS X-release.
They also state that there are/will be improved performance on Astra compared to Trillian 3.1. I haven't actually that impression yet, but then again, it's in Alpha...
Trillian Astra is currently in Alpha-testing. You can sign up for alpha test here.
update 20080129: After converting to a macbook pro at work I've discovered Adium is not a bad candidate either. However Trillian suitesmy needs better, and I'm still waiting for them to release to MAC-version for testing...

Howdy, i'm a Trillian-user since version 0.7 and i love it.
I registered for alpha-testing but it will take a lot of time to get an account.
May we expect a Linux-Version anytime???
No idea - but I'm looking forward to the MAC-version.
