Back in April Cerulean Studios, the company behind the multiprotocol instant messaging application, rolled out Trillian 4.2 for Windows Beta. You can now forget about the Beta and move on to the stable, final version of Trillian 4.2.

Here’s Cerulean Studio’s official announcement: “We’re happy to announce the full release of Trillian for Windows 4.2! The new version includes hundreds of new changes, including a completely revamped Instant Lookup that can now detect Rickrolls, simultaneous sign-on support for Windows Live, immediate replies and retweets from notification windows, an even better way to view your history of pictures sent and received from the history viewer, and much more!”

To celebrate the release of Trillian 4.2, Cerulean Studios is running a time limited promotion – get Trillian Pro for only $15. It doesn’t stop there. Cerulean Studios is also offering a $5 gift price to existing pro customers. To purchase a gift license for $5, Trillian Pro customers need to enter the promo code “towelday”.
