Default the URI Handler checkboxes in the installer appropriately (if pidgin is the current handler or if there is no current handler). Also, don't use the previous Gaim installation directory as the default new directory for Pidgin (perhaps it would be smart to use something like ...\blah\Pidgin if gaim was installed in ...\blah\Gaim, but I'm not sure it is worth the effort).

12527 | 66 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 67 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
68 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
69 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
70 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 71 |
12541 | 72 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
73 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
74 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
75 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
76 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
77 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
78 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
79 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
80 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

85 loader for even more plugin fun. | |

12541 | 89 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
90 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
91 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
92 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
93 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
94 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
95 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 96 |
12541 | 97 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
98 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
99 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
100 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
101 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
102 with handling of buddies. | |
103 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
104 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
105 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
106 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
107 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 108 |
12541 | 109 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
110 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
111 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
112 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
113 know what needs to be fixed. | |

150 the globe for your instant messaging pleasure. Also, we have | |

200 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |
201 have been made to the conversation API which may affect plugin | |
202 developers. Yahoo users should also thank Tim and Bleeter for | |
203 their efforts. | |
204 | |
205 Etan: I'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time. | |
206 Jabber will allow you to unsubscribe to someone's presence | |
207 without logging out and in again, this does break seeing yourself | |
208 on your buddy list, but hopefully we'll fix that again for the | |
209 next release. | |

211 Stu: Happy St. Guinness^wPatrick's day. | |

12541 | 219 Luke: Early release to handle the MSN and HTML crashes, as well |
220 as the glib crash. Maybe that makes up for having had a 4 week | |
221 period before the last release. This one should be the nice | |
222 stable release we meant 1.1.3 to be. Enjoy! | |

12541 | 235 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
236 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
237 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
238 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
239 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
240 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
241 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 252 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
253 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
254 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
255 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
256 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
257 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
258 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

10128 | 323 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
324 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
325 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
326 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
327 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
328 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
329 impact. | |
330 | |
331 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
332 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
333 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

10089 | 345 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
346 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
347 | |
348 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
349 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
350 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
351 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
352 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
353 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
354 sometime relatively soon. | |
355 | |
356 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
357 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
358 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
359 all is ready. | |
360 | |
361 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
362 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
363 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
364 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
365 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
366 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
367 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

369 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
370 | |
10034 | 371 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
372 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
373 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
374 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
375 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
376 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
377 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
378 | |
379 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
380 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
381 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
382 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
383 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
384 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
385 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
386 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

8540 | 392 |
9871 | 393 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
394 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
395 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 396 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 397 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
398 | |
9872 | 399 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
400 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
401 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
402 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
403 next time here> | |
404 | |
9873 | 405 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
406 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
407 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
408 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
409 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
410 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
411 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
412 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
413 | |
9877 | 414 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
415 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
416 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
417 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
418 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
419 | |
9880 | 420 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
421 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
422 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
423 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
424 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
425 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
426 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
427 | |
9688 | 428 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
429 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
430 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
431 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
432 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
433 test. | |

466 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
467 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
468 | |
9543 | 469 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
470 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
471 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
472 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
473 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
474 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
475 | |
9382 | 476 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
477 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
478 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
479 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
480 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
481 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
482 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 483 |
9384 | 484 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 485 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 486 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
487 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
488 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 494 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
495 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
496 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
497 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
498 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
499 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
500 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
501 accounts. | |
9386 | 502 |
503 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
504 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
505 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
506 | |
9390 | 507 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
508 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
509 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
510 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
511 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
512 | |
9124 | 513 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 514 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
515 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
516 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
517 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
518 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
519 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
520 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
521 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
522 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
523 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
524 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
525 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
526 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
527 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
528 | |
9103 | 529 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
530 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
531 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
532 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 533 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
534 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
535 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
536 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
537 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
538 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 550 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
551 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
552 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
553 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
554 | |
9108 | 555 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 556 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
557 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
558 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
559 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
560 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 561 |
9114 | 562 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
563 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
564 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
565 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
566 | |
8762 | 567 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
568 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 569 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
570 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
571 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
572 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
573 around. | |
8762 | 574 |
8763 | 575 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
576 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
577 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
578 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
579 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
580 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
581 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
582 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
583 | |
8764 | 584 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
585 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
586 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
587 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
588 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
589 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
590 | |
8765 | 591 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
592 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
593 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
594 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
595 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
596 for the next release. | |
597 | |
598 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 608 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 609 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
610 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
611 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
612 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
613 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
614 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
615 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 616 |
8540 | 617 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
618 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
619 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
620 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
621 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 622 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
623 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
624 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
625 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
626 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
627 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 636 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |

638 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |

8543 | 640 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
641 grand!! | |
8542 | 642 |
8547 | 643 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
644 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
645 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
646 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
647 | |
8551 | 648 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
649 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
650 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
651 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
652 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
653 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
654 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
655 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
656 release. | |
657 | |
8553 | 658 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
659 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
660 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
661 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
662 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
663 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
664 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
665 | |
8047 | 666 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
667 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
668 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
669 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
670 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
671 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
672 | |
8049 | 673 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
674 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
675 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
676 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
677 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
678 | |
679 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
680 something _very_ neat. | |
681 | |
8050 | 682 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
683 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
684 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
685 to figure out what they were. | |

698 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |

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

7635 | 742 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
743 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
744 | |
745 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
746 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
747 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
748 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
749 | |
750 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
751 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
752 said they'll be out until late. | |
753 | |
754 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
755 | |
7593 | 756 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
757 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
758 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
759 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
760 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
761 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
762 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
763 forget what it is. | |

796 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long | |
797 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
798 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
799 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
800 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
801 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
802 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
803 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
804 | |
7397 | 805 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |
806 bugs introduced in the last release. Registration works again, and | |

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

819 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

821 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
822 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
823 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
824 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
825 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
826 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
827 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

842 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
843 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
844 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
845 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
846 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
847 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
848 | |
7225 | 849 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
850 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
851 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
852 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
853 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 854 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 855 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
856 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
857 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

6134 | 996 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
997 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
998 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
999 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1000 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1001 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1002 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1003 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1004 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1005 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1006 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1007 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |

1010 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1011 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1012 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1013 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1014 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1015 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1016 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1017 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1041 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1042 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1043 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1044 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1045 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1046 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1047 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1048 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1049 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1050 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1053 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1054 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1055 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |

1074 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1075 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1076 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1077 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1078 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1079 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

5555 | 1081 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

5409 | 1097 Rob: Wow, so, what can I say? I've been rather AWOL for the past few |
1098 releases. However, that's okay. Work has been pretty friggin hec- | |
1099 tic, so, that's my excuse. Work is finally going to be slowing down | |
1100 some. I plan to be doing more Gaim work. That makes me happy. That | |
1101 makes you happy. That makes us all happy. Now, I just need to | |
1102 finish rebuilding my car's engine. Engine rebuilds put the FU in | |

1107 from Gaim to keep myself from failing again, especially Christian and | |
1108 Nathan. | |

5404 | 1110 Luke: Okay, this is NOT a bug fix release, at least for those of you |
1111 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1112 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1113 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1114 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |
1115 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-) | |

5410 | 1137 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1138 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1139 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1140 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1141 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1142 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1143 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

5403 | 1145 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1146 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1147 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1148 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1149 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1150 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

1154 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |

9395 | 1159 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1160 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1161 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1162 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1163 |
5197 | 1164 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1165 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1166 | |
9395 | 1167 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1168 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1169 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1170 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1171 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1172 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1173 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |

5059 | 1176 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1177 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1178 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1179 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1180 | |
9395 | 1181 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1182 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1183 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1184 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1185 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1186 |
5058 | 1187 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1188 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1189 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1190 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |

1201 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1202 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |

1213 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1214 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1215 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1216 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1217 | |
5024 | 1218 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1219 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1220 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1221 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1222 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1223 enjoy! :) | |
1224 | |
5025 | 1225 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1226 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1227 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

9395 | 1230 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1231 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1232 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1233 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1234 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1235 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

1252 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1253 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |

1276 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1277 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1278 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1279 our minds ;-). | |
1280 | |
3179 | 1281 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1282 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1283 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1284 cooler, I promise. | |

1288 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1289 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1290 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1291 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1292 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1293 annoying style problem. | |
1294 | |
1295 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1296 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1297 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1298 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |

1303 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1304 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1305 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1306 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1307 | |
3110 | 1308 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1309 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1310 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1314 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1315 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1316 | |
3054 | 1317 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1318 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1319 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1320 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1329 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1330 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |

1338 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1339 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1340 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1341 | |
1342 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1343 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1344 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1345 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1346 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1347 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1348 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1470 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |

1588 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1589 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1590 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1591 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1592 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1199 | 1707 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1708 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
1709 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
1710 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 1711 |
1712 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1713 |
1199 | 1714 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1715 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1716 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1717 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1718 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1719 |
1195 | 1720 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1721 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |

1195 | 1725 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1726 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1727 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1728 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1729 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1730 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1731 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1732 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1733 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 1903 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
1904 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1905 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1906 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1907 | |
1908 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1909 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1910 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1911 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1912 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
1913 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
1914 | |
1915 Thanks much! | |
1916 | |
170 | 1917 |
76 | 1918 0.9.14: |
104 | 1919 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
1920 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
1921 hacking! | |
76 | 1922 |
56 | 1923 0.9.13: |
69 | 1924 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
1925 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
1926 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1927 |
71 | 1928 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1929 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1930 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
1931 problems). | |
1932 | |
7 | 1933 0.9.12: |
25 | 1934 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1935 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1936 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1937 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1938 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1939 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1940 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1941 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1942 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
1943 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

1948 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 1949 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1950 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1951 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
1952 not plumbers! -- rob | |
1953 | |
1954 ** Extra special update ** | |
1955 | |
1956 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1957 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1958 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1959 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1960 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
1961 | |
1962 0.9.10: | |
1963 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1964 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1965 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
1966 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |

1970 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1971 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1972 you guys! | |
1973 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1974 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1975 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1976 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1977 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1978 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1979 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1980 | |
1981 0.9.8: | |
1982 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1983 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1984 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1985 HTTP proxy support. | |
1986 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1987 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1988 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1989 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1990 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1991 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 1992 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
1993 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1994 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1995 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
1996 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
1997 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
1998 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1999 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2000 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2001 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2002 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2003 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2004 enjoy them! :). | |
2005 | |
2006 0.9.7: | |
2007 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2008 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2009 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2010 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2011 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2012 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2013 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2014 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2015 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2016 | |
2017 0.9.6: | |
2018 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2019 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2020 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2021 | |
2022 0.9.5: | |
2023 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2024 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2025 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2026 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2027 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2028 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2029 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2030 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2031 | |
2032 0.8.0: | |
2033 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2034 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2035 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2036 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2037 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2038 want to get it out there. | |
