3246 | 1 -=[ Gaim ]=- The Pimpin' Penguin IM Client That's Good For The Soul! |
10031 | 2 |
10128 | 3 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
4 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
5 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
6 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
7 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
8 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
9 impact. | |
10 | |
11 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
12 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
13 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
14 | |
15 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why | |
16 do we keep him around again? | |
17 | |
18 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |
19 anything for this release or not, probably not. Bleeter has been more | |
20 active lately though, perhaps we'll see lots of cool things from him | |
21 soon. | |
22 | |
23 Sean: I'm down here with the "didn't do anything" guys. | |
24 | |
10089 | 25 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
26 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
27 | |
28 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
29 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
30 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
31 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
32 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
33 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
34 sometime relatively soon. | |
35 | |
36 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
37 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
38 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
39 all is ready. | |
40 | |
41 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
42 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
43 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
44 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
45 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
46 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
47 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
48 | |
49 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
50 | |
10034 | 51 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
52 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
53 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
54 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
55 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
56 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
57 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
58 | |
59 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
60 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
61 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
62 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
63 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
64 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
65 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
66 website. Gaim could use your help. | |
67 | |
68 Mark: I love a circus. | |
69 | |
9872 | 70 0.82 (08/25/2004): |
9852 | 71 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 72 |
9871 | 73 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
74 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
75 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 76 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 77 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
78 | |
9872 | 79 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
80 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
81 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
82 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
83 next time here> | |
84 | |
9873 | 85 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
86 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
87 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
88 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
89 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
90 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
91 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
92 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
93 | |
9877 | 94 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
95 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
96 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
97 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
98 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
99 | |
9880 | 100 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
101 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
102 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
103 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
104 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
105 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
106 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
107 | |
9688 | 108 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
109 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
110 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
111 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
112 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
113 test. | |

9690 | 125 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of |
126 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
127 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
128 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
129 | |
9691 | 130 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
131 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
132 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
133 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
134 | |
9537 | 135 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
136 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
137 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
138 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
139 | |
9540 | 140 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 141 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 142 |
9542 | 143 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
144 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
145 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
146 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
147 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
148 | |
9543 | 149 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
150 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
151 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
152 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
153 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
154 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
155 | |
9382 | 156 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
157 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
158 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
159 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
160 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
161 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
162 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 163 |
9384 | 164 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 165 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 166 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
167 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
168 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 174 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
175 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
176 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
177 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
178 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
179 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
180 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
181 accounts. | |
9386 | 182 |
183 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
184 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
185 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
186 | |
9390 | 187 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
188 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
189 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
190 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
191 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
192 | |
9124 | 193 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 194 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
195 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
196 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
197 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
198 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
199 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
200 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
201 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
202 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
203 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
204 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
205 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
206 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
207 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
208 | |
9103 | 209 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
210 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
211 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
212 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 213 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
214 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
215 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
216 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
217 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
218 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 230 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
231 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
232 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
233 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
234 | |
9108 | 235 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 236 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
237 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
238 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
239 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
240 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 241 |
9114 | 242 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
243 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
244 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
245 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
246 | |
8762 | 247 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
248 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 249 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
250 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
251 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
252 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
253 around. | |
8762 | 254 |
8763 | 255 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
256 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
257 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
258 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
259 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
260 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
261 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
262 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
263 | |
8764 | 264 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
265 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
266 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
267 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
268 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
269 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
270 | |
8765 | 271 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
272 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
273 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
274 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
275 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
276 for the next release. | |
277 | |
278 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 288 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 289 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
290 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
291 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
292 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
293 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
294 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
295 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 296 |
8540 | 297 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
298 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
299 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
300 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
301 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 302 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
303 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
304 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
305 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
306 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
307 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 316 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
317 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
318 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 319 |
8543 | 320 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
321 grand!! | |
8542 | 322 |
8547 | 323 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
324 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
325 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
326 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
327 | |
8551 | 328 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
329 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
330 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
331 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
332 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
333 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
334 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
335 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
336 release. | |
337 | |
8553 | 338 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
339 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
340 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
341 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
342 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
343 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
344 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
345 | |
8047 | 346 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
347 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
348 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
349 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
350 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
351 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
352 | |
8049 | 353 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
354 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
355 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
356 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
357 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
358 | |
359 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
360 something _very_ neat. | |
361 | |
8050 | 362 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
363 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
364 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
365 to figure out what they were. | |

378 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
379 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
380 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

7635 | 422 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
423 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
424 | |
425 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
426 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
427 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
428 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
429 | |
430 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
431 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
432 said they'll be out until late. | |
433 | |
434 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
435 | |
7593 | 436 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
437 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
438 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
439 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
440 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
441 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
442 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
443 forget what it is. | |

504 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
505 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |

7221 | 521 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
522 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
523 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
524 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
525 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
526 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
527 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
528 | |
7225 | 529 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
530 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
531 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
532 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
533 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 534 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 535 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
536 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
537 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |
538 Don't tell Luke. | |

680 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
681 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
682 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
683 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
684 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
685 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |

690 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
691 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 692 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 693 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
694 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 695 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 696 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |

6133 | 721 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
722 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
723 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
724 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
725 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
726 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
727 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
728 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
729 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
730 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

6137 | 732 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
733 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
734 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
735 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
736 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

750 week at work. Friday is the end of the crunch. Hooray!! Thanks for | |
751 all of your hard work, guys :). | |
752 | |
5555 | 753 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
754 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
755 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
756 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
757 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
758 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
759 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 760 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 761 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

818 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
819 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
820 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
821 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |

841 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |

9395 | 847 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
848 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
849 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
850 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
851 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
852 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |

860 | |

5023 | 890 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
891 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
892 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
893 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
894 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
895 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
896 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
897 | |
5024 | 898 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
899 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
900 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
901 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
902 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
903 enjoy! :) | |
904 | |
5025 | 905 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
906 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
907 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
908 (shot) glass ;-) | |
909 | |
9395 | 910 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
911 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
912 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
913 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
914 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
915 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |
916 sammich! | |

3289 | 926 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep. |
927 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 928 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
929 | |
3335 | 930 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
931 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
932 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
933 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
934 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 935 computer works again, you have my word* |
936 | |
937 *My word is worthless. | |

3241 | 940 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 941 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
942 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
943 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
944 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
945 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 946 |
3243 | 947 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
948 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
949 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
950 | |
3244 | 951 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
952 Rob's a mango. | |
953 | |
3173 | 954 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 955 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
956 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
957 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
958 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
959 our minds ;-). | |
960 | |
3179 | 961 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
962 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
963 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
964 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 965 |
3144 | 966 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
967 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
968 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
969 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
970 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
971 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
972 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
973 annoying style problem. | |
974 | |
975 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
976 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
977 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
978 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
979 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
980 future. | |
3114 | 981 |
3113 | 982 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
983 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
984 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
985 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
986 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
987 | |
3110 | 988 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
989 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
990 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 991 |
3053 | 992 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
993 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
994 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
995 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
996 | |
3054 | 997 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
998 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
999 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1000 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1001 |
2993 | 1002 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
1003 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1004 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1005 | |
1006 | |
1007 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1008 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1009 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1010 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1011 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1012 notification too. Hooray! | |
1013 | |
2978 | 1014 |
2961 | 1015 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1016 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1017 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1018 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1019 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1020 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1021 | |
1022 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1023 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1024 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1025 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1026 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1027 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1028 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1029 next release ;) | |
1030 | |

2934 | 1035 Rob: Well, here we go. I FINALLY got around to making a release |
1036 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1037 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1038 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1039 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2187 | 1147 Rob: Hey guys. I've been rather inactive as well. It's a long |
1148 story, but essentially, my company layed off a bunch of people, | |
1149 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
1150 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
1151 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |
1152 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower | |
1153 back and neck. So, basically, we were inactive, but not dead. | |
1154 | |
1155 Also, just to keep you all updated, the AOL battle is still | |
1156 in progress. Our lawyers are still in negotiation with thiers. | |

1178 the previous release but hey, what can ya say, there were a couple | |
1179 of good fixes in this one. Jabber & IRC can set / view the topics | |
1180 of chat rooms now, napster doesnt crash on bad login names and | |
1181 passwords, and the man page got a big update. | |

1307 In this release is the NEWS file. It's the only thing I contributed | |
1308 to! heh, just kidding. This is a bug fix release, as Eric said. | |

1317 to be a pretty common saying around here, huh? Well, I must first | |
1318 appologize. The protocols that I was working on really should be | |
1319 much more developed at this point -- they should be completed, | |
1320 actually. Unfortunately, my real life job (yes, I have one hehe) got | |
1321 a little too busy and ate up all of my free time. I promise that | |

1390 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |

1392 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1393 |
1199 | 1394 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1395 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1396 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1397 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1398 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1399 |
1195 | 1400 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1401 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |

1195 | 1405 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1406 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1407 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1408 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1409 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1410 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1411 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1412 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1413 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

382 | 1499 All of that nonsense aside, there are a few things that DIDN'T happen |
1500 in this version of gaim. The user interface changes will wait until | |
1501 the 0.9.20 release. We've decided to turn 0.9.19 into a "new feature | |
1502 and major bug fix" release. All/Most major bugs should be worked out | |
1503 now. We're sorry about the problem of segfaulting when your buddylist | |
1504 stored on the server was null. Oops! We won't let it happen again, | |

1584 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1585 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1586 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1587 | |
1588 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1589 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1590 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1591 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1592 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |

104 | 1599 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |

1605 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
1606 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1607 |
71 | 1608 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1609 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1610 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |

7 | 1613 0.9.12: |
25 | 1614 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1615 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1616 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1617 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1618 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1619 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1620 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1621 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1622 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
1623 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

1650 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1651 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1652 you guys! | |
1653 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1654 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1655 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1656 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1657 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1658 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1659 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1660 | |
1661 0.9.8: | |
1662 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1663 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1664 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1665 HTTP proxy support. | |
1666 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1667 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1668 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1669 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1670 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1673 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1674 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1675 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |

1678 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1679 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
1680 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |

1691 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
