From out of nowhere comes a zephyr fix from yours truely.
If zephyr is the only account you sign on with, then the Gaim
login window never disappears because previously there was no
connection status dialog thingy. This fixes that.
It would probably be good if this wasn't necessary. I might
fix that a bit later. Like, maybe make sure the login window
is hidden before the buddy list is drawn.

8548 | 4 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
5 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
6 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
7 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
8 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
9 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
10 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
11 | |
8540 | 12 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
13 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
14 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
15 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
16 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
17 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing this. | |
18 Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this release | |
19 would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, with some | |
20 assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all officially | |
21 rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing more than 200 | |
22 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 31 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
32 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
33 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 34 |
8543 | 35 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
36 grand!! | |
8542 | 37 |
8547 | 38 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
39 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
40 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
41 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
42 | |
8551 | 43 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
44 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
45 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
46 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
47 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
48 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
49 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
50 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
51 release. | |
52 | |
8553 | 53 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
54 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
55 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
56 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
57 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
58 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
59 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
60 | |
8047 | 61 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
62 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
63 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
64 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
65 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
66 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
67 | |
8049 | 68 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
69 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
70 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
71 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
72 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
73 | |
74 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
75 something _very_ neat. | |
76 | |
8050 | 77 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
78 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
79 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
80 to figure out what they were. | |

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

138 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
139 | |
140 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
141 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
142 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
143 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
144 | |
145 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
146 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
147 said they'll be out until late. | |
148 | |
149 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
150 | |
7593 | 151 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
152 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
153 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
154 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
155 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
156 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
157 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
158 forget what it is. | |

7221 | 236 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
237 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
238 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
239 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
240 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
241 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
242 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
243 | |
7225 | 244 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
245 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
246 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
247 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
248 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 249 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 250 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
251 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
252 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

6133 | 436 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
437 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
438 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
439 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
440 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
441 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
442 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
443 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
444 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
445 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
446 | |
6137 | 447 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
448 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
449 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
450 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
451 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

465 week at work. Friday is the end of the crunch. Hooray!! Thanks for | |
466 all of your hard work, guys :). | |
467 | |
5555 | 468 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
469 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
470 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
471 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
472 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
473 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
474 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 475 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 476 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

534 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |

563 and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports XHTML-IM. In | |
564 plain english, this means that you can now format your jabber messages, | |
565 and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML still needs some | |
566 work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that will come in time. | |

5073 | 576 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) but |
577 not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything since | |
578 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from Dave Camp | |
5079 | 579 is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and thanks to |
580 everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 581 |
5058 | 582 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
583 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
584 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
585 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
586 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

5076 | 594 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a few |
595 patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The biggest | |
596 thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having that fixed | |
5079 | 597 will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases people, we want |
598 to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 599 |
5078 | 600 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
601 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

5023 | 605 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
606 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
607 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
608 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
609 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
610 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
611 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
612 | |
5024 | 613 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
614 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
615 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
616 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
617 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
618 enjoy! :) | |
619 | |
5025 | 620 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
621 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
622 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

3334 | 639 0.59 (06/24/2002): |
3289 | 640 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep. |
641 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 642 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
643 | |
3335 | 644 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
645 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
646 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
647 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
648 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 649 computer works again, you have my word* |
650 | |
651 *My word is worthless. | |
3335 | 652 |
3248 | 653 |
3241 | 654 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 655 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
656 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
657 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
658 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
659 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 660 |
3243 | 661 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
662 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
663 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
664 | |
3244 | 665 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
666 Rob's a mango. | |
667 | |
3173 | 668 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 669 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
670 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
671 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
672 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
673 our minds ;-). | |
674 | |
3179 | 675 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
676 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
677 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
678 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 679 |
3144 | 680 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
681 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
682 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
683 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
684 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
685 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
686 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
687 annoying style problem. | |
688 | |
689 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
690 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
691 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
692 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
693 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
694 future. | |
3114 | 695 |
3113 | 696 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
697 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
698 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
699 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
700 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
701 | |
3110 | 702 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
703 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
704 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 705 |
3053 | 706 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
707 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
708 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
709 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
710 | |
3054 | 711 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
712 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
713 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
714 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 715 |
2993 | 716 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
717 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
718 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
719 | |
720 | |
721 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
722 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
723 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
724 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
725 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
726 notification too. Hooray! | |
727 | |
2978 | 728 |
2961 | 729 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 730 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
731 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
732 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
733 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
734 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
735 | |
736 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
737 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
738 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
739 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
740 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
741 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
742 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
743 next release ;) | |
744 | |

2935 | 747 |
2933 | 748 0.51 (01/24/2002): |
2934 | 749 Rob: Well, here we go. I FINALLY got around to making a release |
750 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
751 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
752 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
753 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

862 story, but essentially, my company layed off a bunch of people, | |
863 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
864 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
865 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |
866 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower | |
867 back and neck. So, basically, we were inactive, but not dead. | |

1021 In this release is the NEWS file. It's the only thing I contributed | |
1022 to! heh, just kidding. This is a bug fix release, as Eric said. | |

1031 to be a pretty common saying around here, huh? Well, I must first | |
1032 appologize. The protocols that I was working on really should be | |
1033 much more developed at this point -- they should be completed, | |
1034 actually. Unfortunately, my real life job (yes, I have one hehe) got | |
1035 a little too busy and ate up all of my free time. I promise that | |

1106 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1107 |
1199 | 1108 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1109 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1110 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1111 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1112 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1113 |
1195 | 1114 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |

1195 | 1119 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1120 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1121 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1122 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1123 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1124 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1125 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1126 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1127 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

1183 a lot of them from the Gnome Stock icons. If anyone could do some | |
1184 custom ones that stay within the 24x24 boundary and keep the same | |

1297 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |

1299 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |

1301 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1302 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1303 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1304 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |

1322 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |

7 | 1326 0.9.12: |
25 | 1327 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1328 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1329 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1330 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1331 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1332 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1333 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1334 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1335 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |

1363 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1364 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1365 you guys! | |
1366 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1367 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1368 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1369 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1370 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1371 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1372 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

1374 0.9.8: | |
1375 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1376 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1377 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1378 HTTP proxy support. | |
1379 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1380 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1381 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1382 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1383 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1384 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |

1386 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |

1416 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
1417 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
1418 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
1419 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
1420 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
1421 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
1422 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |

1425 0.8.0: | |
1426 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
1427 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
1428 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
1429 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
1430 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
1431 want to get it out there. | |
