The 1.1.0 version of gaim has been released... finaly they have removed the "switchboard" error :D. You can see screenshots and sources and binaries from their page

From their Changelog

Version bumping

I for one hate that they keep bumping their version number. First from 0.7x to 1.0 and now to 1.1.

Maybe i can accept the 1.0 scheme because they wanted to tell their users that it was stable, but bumping to 1.1 is meaningless. It has some bugfixes and few features. It should have been called 1.0.5 or whatever
