Patch #1054 from resiak.
"Make Ctrl-[Shift-]Tab prefer tabs with higher-valued unseen_states to
those which are nearer but have lower values. This has the effect of
making Ctrl-Tab ignore conversations with activity like status changes
when other tabs have unread messages, and prefer chats where you are
hilighted even more. (By an amazing coincidence, this is exactly what
meta-a does in irssi.)".
This closes #1054.
resiak: Thanks!

5 really proud of all the work we've all done. I'm pumped. And, while | |
6 I could go on about all the amazing thing that have been added since | |
7 1.5.0, what I'm really excited about is getting back to a regular, | |

16866 | 25 Evan: One small step for bird, one giant leap for birdkind... except |
26 this is hardly one small step. A lot more has changed from Gaim 1.5.0 | |
27 than just the name. Pidgin has a *very* attractive new look, a whole | |
28 new member of the family (Finch, formerly gaim-console) has been born, | |
29 and libpurple has come into its own as a solid, full-featured library | |
30 powering the greatest IM clients around. Bugs were fixed and | |
31 features were added by the hundreds (thousands?) since the last | |
32 major release, all while improving performance and resisting feature | |
33 creep. As Luke said, a ton of thought and effort has gone into | |
34 Pidgin 2.0.0; I'm proud to have played a part. | |

62 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16699 | 63 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
64 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
65 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
66 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
67 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
68 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
69 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
70 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
71 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
72 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
73 | |
16005 | 74 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
75 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
76 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
77 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
78 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
79 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
80 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
81 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
82 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
83 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
84 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16706 | 85 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 86 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
87 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
88 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
89 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
90 | |
16703 | 91 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
92 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
93 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
94 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 176 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 177 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
178 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
179 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
180 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 181 |
12541 | 182 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
183 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
184 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
185 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
186 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
187 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
188 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
189 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
190 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12509 | 198 |
12541 | 199 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
200 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
201 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
202 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
203 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
204 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
205 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 206 |
12541 | 207 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
208 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
209 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
210 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
211 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
212 with handling of buddies. | |
213 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
214 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
215 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
216 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
217 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 218 |
12541 | 219 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
220 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
221 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
222 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
223 know what needs to be fixed. | |

375 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |
376 well soon, so he can get back to merging patches and fixing things. | |

12541 | 389 Luke: Another in our series of bug fix releases, with a slight twist. |
390 Everyone thank Ethan for implementing a fall back encoding for IRC, | |
391 it has been much requested and should make a number of users very | |
392 happy. See the ChangeLog for details on other fixes. | |

395 memory leaks have been fixed. Felipe also fixed a good number of | |
396 other MSN bugs. I didn't do much except apply these guys fixes. It's | |
397 good to see fixes from Gary coming in again too ;-). I like the | |

12541 | 401 Tim: I made Gaim binary relocatable this release, so Gaim can find |
402 itself if it gets lost, and I'm going to try to make autopackages | |
403 for this release, if the autopackage guys release their new version | |
404 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
405 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
406 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 433 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
434 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
435 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
436 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
437 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
438 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
439 impact. | |
440 | |
441 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
442 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
443 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
444 | |
445 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why | |
446 do we keep him around again? | |
447 | |
448 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |

454 | |
10089 | 455 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
456 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
457 | |
458 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
459 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
460 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
461 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
462 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
463 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
464 sometime relatively soon. | |
465 | |
466 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
467 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
468 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
469 all is ready. | |
470 | |
471 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
472 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
473 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
474 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
475 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
476 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
477 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
478 | |
479 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
480 | |
10034 | 481 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
482 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
483 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
484 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
485 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
486 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
487 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
488 | |
489 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
490 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
491 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
492 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
493 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
494 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
495 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
496 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9872 | 500 0.82 (08/25/2004): |
9852 | 501 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 502 |
9871 | 503 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
504 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
505 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 506 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 507 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
508 | |
9872 | 509 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
510 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
511 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
512 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
513 next time here> | |
514 | |
9873 | 515 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
516 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
517 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
518 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
519 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
520 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
521 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
522 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
523 | |
9877 | 524 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
525 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
526 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
527 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
528 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
529 | |
9880 | 530 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
531 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
532 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
533 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
534 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
535 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
536 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
537 | |
9688 | 538 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
539 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
540 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
541 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
542 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
543 test. | |

556 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
557 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
558 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |

564 | |
9537 | 565 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
566 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
567 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
568 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
569 | |
9540 | 570 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 571 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 572 |
9542 | 573 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
574 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
575 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
576 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
577 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
578 | |
9543 | 579 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
580 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
581 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
582 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
583 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
584 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
585 | |
9382 | 586 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
587 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
588 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
589 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
590 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
591 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
592 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 593 |
9384 | 594 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 595 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 596 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
597 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
598 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 604 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
605 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
606 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
607 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
608 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
609 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
610 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
611 accounts. | |
9386 | 612 |
613 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
614 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
615 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
616 | |
9390 | 617 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
618 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
619 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
620 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
621 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
622 | |
9124 | 623 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 624 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
625 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
626 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
627 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
628 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
629 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
630 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
631 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
632 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
633 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
634 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
635 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
636 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
637 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
638 | |
9103 | 639 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
640 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
641 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
642 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 643 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
644 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
645 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
646 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
647 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
648 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 660 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
661 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
662 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
663 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
664 | |
9108 | 665 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 666 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
667 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
668 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
669 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
670 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 671 |
9114 | 672 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
673 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
674 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
675 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
676 | |
8762 | 677 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
678 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 679 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
680 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
681 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
682 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
683 around. | |
8762 | 684 |
8763 | 685 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
686 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
687 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
688 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
689 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
690 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
691 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
692 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
693 | |
8764 | 694 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
695 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
696 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
697 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
698 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
699 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
700 | |
8765 | 701 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
702 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
703 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
704 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
705 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
706 for the next release. | |
707 | |
708 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 718 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 719 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
720 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
721 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
722 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
723 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
724 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
725 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 726 |
8540 | 727 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
728 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
729 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
730 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
731 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 732 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
733 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
734 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
735 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
736 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
737 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 746 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
747 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
748 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 749 |
8543 | 750 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
751 grand!! | |
8542 | 752 |
8547 | 753 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
754 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
755 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
756 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
757 | |
8551 | 758 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
759 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
760 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
761 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
762 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
763 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
764 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
765 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
766 release. | |
767 | |
8553 | 768 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
769 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
770 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
771 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
772 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
773 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
774 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
775 | |
8047 | 776 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
777 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
778 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
779 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
780 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
781 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
782 | |
8049 | 783 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
784 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
785 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
786 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
787 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
788 | |
789 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
790 something _very_ neat. | |
791 | |
8050 | 792 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
793 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
794 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
795 to figure out what they were. | |

810 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

853 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
854 | |
855 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
856 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
857 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
858 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
859 | |
860 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
861 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
862 said they'll be out until late. | |
863 | |
864 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
865 | |
7593 | 866 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
867 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
868 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
869 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
870 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
871 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
872 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
873 forget what it is. | |

7394 | 905 Ethan: In complete defiance of history, I did something this |
906 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long | |
907 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
908 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
909 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
910 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
911 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
912 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |

7397 | 915 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |

918 handfull of other little things that I can't remember. This should | |

929 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |
9395 | 930 and much progress has been made on the core/UI split. We should be done |
931 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
932 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
933 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
934 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
935 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
936 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
937 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |
938 it. Starting October 15th, the old protocol won't be supported | |

7221 | 951 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
952 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
953 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
954 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
955 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
956 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
957 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
958 | |
7225 | 959 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
960 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
961 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
962 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
963 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 964 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 965 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
966 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
967 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1082 This is the most incredible thing EVER. We've done tons of work | |
1083 since 0.65, and I'm really proud of what we came out with. Thanks | |

1094 slip through. This release makes up for that. This should fix the bugs | |
1095 0.65 introduced, at least the ones that most of you would otherwise hit. | |

6127 | 1100 Rob: Wooo! We're finally ready for 0.65. Are you guys excited? I |
1101 haven't worked on anything in this release, either. I've been | |
1102 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |
1103 me when it will be ready. If you ask me then I won't answer | |
1104 you. You've been warned! :-D | |

6134 | 1106 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
1107 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1108 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1109 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1110 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1111 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1112 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1113 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1114 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1115 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1116 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1117 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
1118 | |
6129 | 1119 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1120 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1121 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1122 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1123 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1124 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1125 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1126 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1127 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1151 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1152 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1153 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1154 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1155 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1156 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1157 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1158 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1159 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1160 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1161 | |
6137 | 1162 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1163 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1164 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1165 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1166 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

5555 | 1183 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1184 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1185 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1186 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1187 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1188 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1189 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

5410 | 1247 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1248 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1249 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1250 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1251 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1252 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1253 the next release. Really. ;-) | |
1254 | |
5403 | 1255 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1256 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1257 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1258 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1259 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1260 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

1262 Christian: I can't remember what I did here.. Think I'll take a quick |
9395 | 1263 look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay, |
1264 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |
1265 authors will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is | |
1266 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell | |
1267 your friends. 33 Gaim users can't be wrong! | |

9395 | 1269 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1270 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1271 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1272 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1273 |
5197 | 1274 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1275 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1276 | |
9395 | 1277 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1278 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1279 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1280 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1281 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1282 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1283 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
5198 | 1284 |
5058 | 1285 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 1286 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1287 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1288 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1289 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1290 | |
9395 | 1291 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1292 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1293 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1294 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1295 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1296 |
5058 | 1297 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1298 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1299 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1300 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
1301 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

9395 | 1309 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1310 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1311 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1312 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1313 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1314 |
5078 | 1315 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
1316 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

5023 | 1320 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
1321 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1322 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1323 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1324 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1325 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1326 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1327 | |
5024 | 1328 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1329 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1330 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1331 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1332 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1333 enjoy! :) | |
1334 | |
5025 | 1335 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1336 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1337 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1338 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1339 | |
9395 | 1340 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1341 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1342 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1343 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1344 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1345 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

3289 | 1356 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep. |
1357 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 1358 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1359 | |
3335 | 1360 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1361 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1362 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1363 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1364 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 1365 computer works again, you have my word* |

3241 | 1370 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 1371 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
1372 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1373 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1374 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1375 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1376 |
3243 | 1377 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1378 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1379 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1380 | |

1382 Rob's a mango. | |
1383 | |
3173 | 1384 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1385 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1386 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1387 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1388 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1389 our minds ;-). | |
1390 | |
3179 | 1391 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1392 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1393 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1394 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1395 |
3144 | 1396 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1397 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1398 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1399 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1400 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1401 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1402 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1403 annoying style problem. | |
1404 | |
1405 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1406 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1407 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1408 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1409 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1410 future. | |
3114 | 1411 |
3113 | 1412 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1413 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1414 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1415 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1416 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1417 | |
3110 | 1418 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1419 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1420 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1421 |
3053 | 1422 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1423 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1424 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1425 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1426 | |
3054 | 1427 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1428 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1429 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1430 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1431 |

1433 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1434 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1435 | |
1436 | |
1437 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1438 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1439 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1440 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1441 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1442 notification too. Hooray! | |
1443 | |
2978 | 1444 |
2961 | 1445 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1446 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1447 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1448 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1449 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1450 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1451 | |
1452 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1453 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1454 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1455 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1456 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1457 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1458 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1459 next release ;) | |

1466 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1467 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1468 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1469 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1637 | 1697 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had |
1698 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1699 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1700 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1701 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1702 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
1703 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |
1704 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-). | |

1827 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1828 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |

1195 | 1835 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1836 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1837 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1838 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1839 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1840 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1841 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1842 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1843 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

1866 for you guys. I hope you all enjoy it. There was a few minor | |
1867 issues cleared up in this version as well as the repair of | |
1868 OSCAR support. Hopefully we won't run into the same problem | |
1869 as before. Oh well ;-). There's also a few small extra goodies | |

2020 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |

25 | 2044 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2045 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2046 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2047 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2048 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |

2050 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |

0 | 2059 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2060 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2061 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2062 not plumbers! -- rob | |

2064 ** Extra special update ** | |
2065 | |
2066 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2067 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2068 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2069 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2070 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2071 | |
2072 0.9.10: | |
2073 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2074 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2075 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2076 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
2077 | |
2078 0.9.9: | |
2079 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

2080 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2081 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2082 you guys! | |
2083 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2084 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2085 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2086 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2087 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2088 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2089 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

2091 0.9.8: | |
2092 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2093 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2094 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2095 HTTP proxy support. | |
2096 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2097 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2098 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2099 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2100 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2101 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2102 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2103 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2104 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2105 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2106 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2107 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2108 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2109 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2110 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2111 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2112 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2113 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2114 enjoy them! :). | |
2115 | |
2116 0.9.7: | |
2117 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2118 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2119 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2120 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2121 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2122 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2123 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2124 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2125 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2126 | |
2127 0.9.6: | |
2128 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2129 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2130 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2131 | |
2132 0.9.5: | |
2133 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2134 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2135 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2136 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2137 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2138 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2139 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2140 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2141 | |
2142 0.8.0: | |
2143 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2144 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2145 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2146 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2147 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2148 want to get it out there. | |
