Warning: This is for the defunct version of Adium that was produced over 3 years ago, long before the Adium 2.0 project was renamed Adium X. This release should no longer be used. This page is kept for historical reference only.

Please also note that Adium 1.x only worked with AIM, and is now known to no longer connect to AIM.
