Changes to Phone Calls

As mentioned above, the usage of the Phone tab and the Contacts/Favorites tabs is strictly segregated.
Therefore,

you cannot drag a contact to the call entry field

.

Call indicators: Starting In Bria 3.5.4, icons in the call panel appeared when the following options
were selected: auto answer, hide my number, letters to numbers.

These

indicators do not appear in Bria 4

.

Changes to Instant Messaging

With Bria 4, there is just one Messages window where all your instant messages – regular IMs, group
chat (ad-hoc group chats), and chat rooms (group chat using chat rooms set up on an XMPP server), and
broadcast IMs – appear. In addition, there is no longer a separate IM archive window; instead, the left
panel in the Messages window serves as the archive.

The left panel shows:

Yellow background: The active IM (the IM whose content shows on the right).

Black text: IMs that are still active. You can click on the IM and send more messages.

Grey text: Inactive IMs. You can no longer click on the IM and send more messages. Instead, you
will have to start a new IM.

Displaying the Message Window

At any time, choose View > Messages from the main menu.
