24 Rob: Well, I hadn't initially planned on an 0.11.0pre3 but it | |
25 looks like it was needed. That's not necessarially a bad thing, | |
26 mind you. It just means you get to see more goodies! | |

28 This release includes some other fun features. See the ChangeLog | |
29 for more information. Also found in this wonderful release is | |
30 an MSN plugin. For all of you who have been holding onto Windows | |
31 simply because you have friends on MSN Messenger that you don't want | |
32 to leave, this plugin is for you! :) | |

1337 | 34 Guys, make sure you send us bug reports; preferably on the |
35 SourceForge bug report forum at | |
36 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/. This will allow both | |
37 Eric and I to handle the bugs and will prevent either one of us | |
38 from losing the bug reports that are sent via AIM :-) | |

59 | |
1289 | 60 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 61 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
62 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
63 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
64 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 65 |
66 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 67 |
1199 | 68 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
69 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
70 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
71 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
72 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 73 |
1195 | 74 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 75 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
76 above. :) | |
1194 | 77 |
1192 | 78 |
1195 | 79 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
80 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
81 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
82 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
83 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
84 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
85 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
86 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
87 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

199 how the rest of you feel but it's time for a nice overhaul. In the | |
200 next few days I'll be sitting down with some of my friends and coming | |
201 up with an improved interface. I hope you all enjoy it. It'll | |
202 include better looking dialogs, icons, sounds (hopefully lol), etc. | |
203 | |
204 And -- for your random silly message of the day -- | |

170 | 255 0.9.15: |
219 | 256 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
257 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
258 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
259 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
260 | |
261 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
262 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
263 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
264 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
265 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
266 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
267 | |
268 Thanks much! | |
269 | |
170 | 270 |
76 | 271 0.9.14: |
104 | 272 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
273 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
274 hacking! | |
76 | 275 |
56 | 276 0.9.13: |
69 | 277 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
278 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
279 released very soon now. | |
56 | 280 |
71 | 281 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
282 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
283 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
284 problems). | |
285 | |
7 | 286 0.9.12: |
25 | 287 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
288 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
289 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
290 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
291 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
292 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
293 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
294 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
295 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
296 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |
7 | 297 |
0 | 298 0.9.11: |
299 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
300 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
301 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
302 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
303 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
304 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
305 not plumbers! -- rob | |
306 | |
307 ** Extra special update ** | |
308 | |
309 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
310 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
311 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
312 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
313 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
314 | |
315 0.9.10: | |
316 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
317 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
318 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
319 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
320 | |
321 0.9.9: | |
322 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
323 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
324 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
325 you guys! | |
326 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
327 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
328 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
329 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
330 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
331 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
332 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
333 | |
334 0.9.8: | |
335 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
336 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
337 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
338 HTTP proxy support. | |
339 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
340 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
341 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
342 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
343 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
344 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
345 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
346 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
347 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
348 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
349 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
350 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
351 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
352 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
353 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
354 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
355 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
356 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
357 enjoy them! :). | |
358 | |
359 0.9.7: | |
360 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
361 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
362 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
363 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
364 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
365 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
366 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
367 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
368 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
369 | |
370 0.9.6: | |
371 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
372 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
373 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
374 | |
375 0.9.5: | |
376 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
377 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
378 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
379 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
380 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
381 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
382 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
383 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
384 | |
385 0.8.0: | |
386 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
387 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
388 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
389 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
390 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
391 want to get it out there. | |
