MSN:
- Fixed bug that prevented adding contacts to your contact list in certain circumstances. (#14965)
- Added support for MSNP16 including multiple points of presence (MPOP) which allows multiple simultaneous sign-ins and which should resolve connection problems involving the "Signed in from another location" error. (#13654)
- Fixed crash related to Direct Connections. (#14650)
ICQ:
- Fixed a bug where some contacts from your contact list might not show up. Affected non-English users the most. (#14901)

Contact List:
- Fixed tooltips not being updated when scrollwheeling through the contact list. (#3480)
- Improved readability of tooltips by making their contents opaque and only the background transparent. (#15050)

Logging:
- Added a "Log only certain accounts" setting to Adium's "General" preferences. (#8, #14522)
- Added a "Log secure chats" setting to Adium's "General" preferences. (#94)

- Renkoo: No longer scrolls to bottom on new content regardless of scroll position. (#14331)
Smooth Operator:
- Compact: Mentions in actions are no longer italicized. Sendercolor Adiumy is not displayed in IRC too. Fixed progressively increasing saturation of the sendercolor Adiumy on each consecutive message.

- Dark: New variant!
- all variants: Improved the performance of all-by-sender-on-click javascript. Shifted the built-in buddy icons down a few pixels so they look more centered. Switched to more compact focus indication icons.
