Wow, these files haven't been touched in ages. One person wasn't able to
compile these until he changed <internal.h> to "internal.h", so we're going
to make that change here and hopefully fix a few cases of this. It's more
correct anyway.

8762 | 3 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
4 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
5 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and paste | |
6 rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, Evolution | |
7 OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release of their | |
8 GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all around. | |
9 | |
8763 | 10 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
11 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
12 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
13 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
14 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
15 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
16 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
17 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
18 | |
8764 | 19 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
20 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
21 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
22 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
23 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
24 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
25 | |
8765 | 26 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
27 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
28 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
29 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
30 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
31 for the next release. | |
32 | |
33 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 43 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 44 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
45 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
46 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
47 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
48 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
49 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
50 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
51 | |
8540 | 52 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
53 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
54 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
55 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
56 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
57 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing this. | |
58 Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this release | |
59 would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, with some | |
60 assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all officially | |
61 rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing more than 200 | |
62 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 71 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
72 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
73 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 74 |
8543 | 75 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
76 grand!! | |
8542 | 77 |
8547 | 78 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
79 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
80 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
81 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
82 | |
8551 | 83 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
84 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
85 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
86 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
87 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
88 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
89 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
90 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
91 release. | |
92 | |
8553 | 93 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
94 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
95 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
96 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
97 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
98 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
99 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
100 | |
8047 | 101 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
102 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
103 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
104 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
105 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
106 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
107 | |
8049 | 108 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
109 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
110 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
111 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
112 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
113 | |
114 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
115 something _very_ neat. | |
116 | |
8050 | 117 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
118 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
119 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
120 to figure out what they were. | |

8053 | 132 Luke: Okay, so Sean rocks and got Yahoo working again in 12 minutes. |
133 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
134 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
135 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |
136 and everyone should be happy to note that 0.75 leaks far less than | |

178 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
179 | |
180 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
181 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
182 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
183 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
184 | |
185 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
186 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
187 said they'll be out until late. | |
188 | |
189 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
190 | |
7593 | 191 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
192 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
193 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
194 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
195 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
196 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
197 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
198 forget what it is. | |

233 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
234 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
235 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |

277 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
278 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
279 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
280 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
281 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
282 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |

287 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
288 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 289 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 290 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |

6189 | 418 Luke: Okay, people, yes we did test 0.65 for bugs, but hey, some things |
419 slip through. This release makes up for that. This should fix the bugs | |
420 0.65 introduced, at least the ones that most of you would otherwise hit. | |

6127 | 425 Rob: Wooo! We're finally ready for 0.65. Are you guys excited? I |
426 haven't worked on anything in this release, either. I've been | |
427 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |
428 me when it will be ready. If you ask me then I won't answer | |
429 you. You've been warned! :-D | |

6134 | 431 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
432 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
433 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
434 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
435 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
436 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
437 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
438 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
439 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
440 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
441 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
442 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
443 | |
6129 | 444 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
445 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
446 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 447 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 448 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
449 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 450 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 451 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
452 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 476 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
477 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
478 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
479 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
480 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
481 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
482 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
483 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
484 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
485 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
486 | |
6137 | 487 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
488 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
489 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
490 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
491 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

506 all of your hard work, guys :). | |

5555 | 508 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
509 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
510 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
511 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
512 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
513 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
514 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 515 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 516 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

574 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
575 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
576 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
577 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
578 the next release. Really. ;-) | |
579 | |
5403 | 580 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 581 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
582 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
583 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
584 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
585 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

5196 | 594 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a couple |
595 bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much needed at | |
596 that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been busy. | |
597 Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
598 | |
5197 | 599 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
600 my Pop-tarts now. | |
601 | |
5198 | 602 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this release, |
603 and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports XHTML-IM. In | |
604 plain english, this means that you can now format your jabber messages, | |
605 and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML still needs some | |
606 work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that will come in time. | |
607 That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted "I was hacking on Gaim" | |
608 as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
609 | |
5058 | 610 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 611 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
612 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
613 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
614 faucet. It drips all night. | |
615 | |
5073 | 616 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) but |
617 not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything since | |
618 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from Dave Camp | |
5079 | 619 is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and thanks to |
620 everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 621 |
5058 | 622 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
623 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
624 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
625 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
626 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

5076 | 634 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a few |
635 patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The biggest | |
636 thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having that fixed | |
5079 | 637 will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases people, we want |
638 to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 639 |
5078 | 640 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
641 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

644 | |
5023 | 645 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
646 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
647 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
648 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
649 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
650 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
651 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
652 | |
5024 | 653 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
654 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
655 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
656 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
657 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
658 enjoy! :) | |
659 | |
5025 | 660 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
661 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
662 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

3334 | 679 0.59 (06/24/2002): |
3289 | 680 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep. |
681 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 682 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
683 | |
3335 | 684 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
685 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
686 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
687 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
688 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 689 computer works again, you have my word* |
690 | |
691 *My word is worthless. | |
3335 | 692 |
3248 | 693 |
3241 | 694 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 695 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
696 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
697 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
698 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
699 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 700 |
3243 | 701 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
702 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
703 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
704 | |
3244 | 705 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
706 Rob's a mango. | |
707 | |
3173 | 708 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 709 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
710 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
711 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
712 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
713 our minds ;-). | |
714 | |
3179 | 715 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
716 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
717 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
718 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 719 |
3144 | 720 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
721 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
722 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
723 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
724 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
725 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
726 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
727 annoying style problem. | |
728 | |
729 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
730 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
731 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
732 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
733 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
734 future. | |
3114 | 735 |
3113 | 736 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
737 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
738 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
739 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
740 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
741 | |
3110 | 742 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
743 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
744 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 745 |
3053 | 746 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
747 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
748 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
749 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
750 | |
3054 | 751 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
752 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
753 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
754 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 755 |
2993 | 756 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
757 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
758 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
759 | |
760 | |
761 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
762 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
763 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
764 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
765 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
766 notification too. Hooray! | |
767 | |
2978 | 768 |
2961 | 769 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 770 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
771 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
772 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
773 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
774 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
775 | |
776 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
777 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
778 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
779 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
780 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
781 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
782 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
783 next release ;) | |

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

902 story, but essentially, my company layed off a bunch of people, | |
903 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
904 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
905 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |
906 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower | |

1008 all know him from libfaim) we're now back online. Thanks, | |

1637 | 1021 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had |
1022 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1023 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1024 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1025 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1026 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
1027 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |
1028 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-). | |

1199 | 1141 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1142 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |

1146 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1147 |
1199 | 1148 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1149 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1150 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1151 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1152 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1153 |
1195 | 1154 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |

1195 | 1159 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1160 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1161 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1162 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1163 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1164 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1165 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1166 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1167 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

1190 for you guys. I hope you all enjoy it. There was a few minor | |
1191 issues cleared up in this version as well as the repair of | |
1192 OSCAR support. Hopefully we won't run into the same problem | |
1193 as before. Oh well ;-). There's also a few small extra goodies | |
1194 in here for you guys just check out the Change Log. I hope you all | |

1337 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1338 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1339 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1340 | |
1341 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1342 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1343 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1344 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1345 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |

104 | 1352 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |

1359 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1360 |
71 | 1361 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1362 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1363 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |

7 | 1366 0.9.12: |
25 | 1367 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1368 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1369 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1370 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1371 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1372 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1373 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1374 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |

0 | 1382 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1383 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1384 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
1385 not plumbers! -- rob | |

1387 ** Extra special update ** | |

1389 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1390 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1391 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1392 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1393 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
1394 | |
1395 0.9.10: | |
1396 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1397 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1398 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
1399 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
1400 | |
1401 0.9.9: | |
1402 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

1403 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1404 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1405 you guys! | |
1406 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1407 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1408 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1409 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1410 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1411 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1412 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1413 | |
1414 0.9.8: | |
1415 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1416 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1417 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1418 HTTP proxy support. | |
1419 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1420 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1421 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1422 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1423 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1424 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 1425 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
1426 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1427 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1428 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
1429 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
1430 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
1431 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1432 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
1433 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
1434 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
1435 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
1436 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
1437 enjoy them! :). | |
1438 | |
1439 0.9.7: | |
1440 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
1441 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
1442 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
1443 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
1444 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
1445 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
1446 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
1447 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
1448 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
1449 | |
1450 0.9.6: | |
1451 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
1452 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
1453 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
1454 | |
1455 0.9.5: | |
1456 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
1457 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
1458 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
1459 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
1460 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
1461 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
1462 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
1463 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
1464 | |
1465 0.8.0: | |
1466 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
1467 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
1468 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
1469 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
1470 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
1471 want to get it out there. | |
