plug mem leak. don't show evil level if it decreased. mid's utf8 patch for jabber. my girlfriend got an accounting calculator today, you know, with the paper and the printing and things. it's kinda loud. she's really happy about having it. she had bought a different one yesterday but it didn't work so we returned it today. we also went to Albertson's and bought groceries. we bought 72 cans of soda for $15. That's 20 cents per soda. Not bad. we also bought a cow; i'm going to cook it tonight. ben&jerry's ice cream is good.

4 Rob: EEP! It's Friday the 13th!!! I think I fixed a few buggies | |
5 in MSN and then added some new features to IRC. I have a headache | |
6 right now, though, so I won't talk much. I think I'm going to go | |
7 to sleep. Next release, I should have a good bit more done on | |
8 IRC and will have made Napster more stable. Have fun!! | |

1637 | 32 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had |
33 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
34 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
35 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
36 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
37 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
38 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |
39 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-). | |

72 In this release is the NEWS file. It's the only thing I contributed | |

84 much more developed at this point -- they should be completed, | |

1195 | 170 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
171 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
172 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
173 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
174 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
175 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
176 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
177 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
178 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

25 | 378 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
379 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
380 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
381 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
382 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
383 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
384 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
385 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
386 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
387 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

390 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
391 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
392 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
393 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
394 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
395 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
396 not plumbers! -- rob | |
397 | |
398 ** Extra special update ** | |
399 | |
400 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
401 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
402 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
403 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
404 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
405 | |
406 0.9.10: | |
407 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
408 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
409 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
410 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
411 | |
412 0.9.9: | |
413 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
414 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
415 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
416 you guys! | |
417 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
418 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
419 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
420 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
421 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
422 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
423 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
424 | |
425 0.9.8: | |
426 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
427 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
428 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
429 HTTP proxy support. | |
430 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
431 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
432 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
433 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
434 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
435 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
436 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
437 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
438 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
439 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
440 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
441 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
442 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
443 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
444 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
445 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
446 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
447 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
448 enjoy them! :). | |
449 | |
450 0.9.7: | |
451 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
452 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
453 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
454 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
455 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
456 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
457 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
458 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
459 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
460 | |
461 0.9.6: | |
462 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
463 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
464 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
465 | |
466 0.9.5: | |
467 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
468 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
469 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
470 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
471 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
472 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
473 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
474 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
475 | |
476 0.8.0: | |
477 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
478 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
479 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
480 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
481 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
482 want to get it out there. | |
