KDE Telepathy 0.6 beta released

KDE Telepathy is an instant messaging (IM) and voice over IP (VoIP) client for KDE desktop, which supports text, voice, video, file transfers, and inter-application communication over various IM protocols. As its name implies, the software uses the Telepathy framework as its backend. The developers behind this project have been doing an amazing work by adding some really nice features. Here’s the list based on David Edmundson’s post.
