the notable thing is that the tray icon is more eye appealing than the previous one ,apart from the various bug fixes :D
 
Normally I like praising opensource applications, but for Gaim I could gladly make an exheption! :D IMHO it's both buggy AND darn ugly.
My personal favorite is (still ) Simple Instant Messenger which seems being almost dead since last July (likely due to a quarrel between the program developers), but it's the best multiprotocol (and multiplatform) client I have tried so far.
