Exodus is a free software instant messaging client developed by Peter Millard and written in Borland Delphi that can connect to Jabber servers and exchange messages with other Jabber users. Currently, binaries are only available for Microsoft Windows. Exodus was designed as the official successor of the Winjab client, as Winjab was a personal project that was becoming too difficult to maintain. Exodus is licensed under the GNU GPL.
The aims of the Exodus project include:
- Making the best possible Windows Jabber client that all types of users find "usable," working equally well in both the conventional IM graphical user interface and in a "tabbed" mode;
- Creating a Jabber library that will be Delphi native and therefore compilable under Kylix for Linux;
- Making the code more maintainable than its predecessor; and
- Building a plugin system that allows developers to expand the client.
The last known release was version 0.10.0.0, released on Nov 21st, 2007.
