Empathy, a messaging program that supports text, voice and video chat, and file transfers over many different protocols, is now at version 3.8.1.

Empathy 3.8.1 uses Telepathy for protocol and the user interface is based on Gossip. The Empathy messenger is also the default chat client in current versions of GNOME.

The application supports all major protocols, including Google Talk (Jabber/XMPP), MSN, IRC, Salut, AIM, Facebook, Yahoo, and more.

Highlights of Empathy 3.8.1:

• The deprecation warnings about the goa-mc-plugin have been fixed; • Various #include directives, that were unused and redundant, have been cleaned up; • Launching Empathy -p no longer opens both the preferences and the main window; • A lot of translations have been updated, including English; • The German documentation translation has been updated.
