3 1.0.2 (10/19/2004):
|
|
|
4 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug
|
|
|
5 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually
|
|
|
6 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of
|
|
|
7 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not
|
|
|
8 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an
|
|
|
9 impact.
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release,
|
|
|
12 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are
|
|
|
13 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now.
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why
|
|
|
16 do we keep him around again?
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did
|
|
|
19 anything for this release or not, probably not. Bleeter has been more
|
|
|
20 active lately though, perhaps we'll see lots of cool things from him
|
|
|
21 soon.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 Sean: I'm down here with the "didn't do anything" guys.
|
|
|
24
|
|
10089
|
25 1.0.1 (10/07/2004):
|
|
|
26 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding!
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that
|
|
|
29 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has
|
|
|
30 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to
|
|
|
31 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too
|
|
|
32 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently
|
|
|
33 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0
|
|
|
34 sometime relatively soon.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work
|
|
|
37 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when
|
|
|
38 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill
|
|
|
39 all is ready.
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't.
|
|
|
42 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware,
|
|
|
43 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up
|
|
|
44 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more.
|
|
|
45 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of
|
|
|
46 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our
|
|
|
47 moms, for believing in us. Or something.
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits!
|
|
|
50
|
|
10034
|
51 1.0.0 (09/17/2004):
|
|
|
52 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were
|
|
|
53 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel,
|
|
|
54 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our
|
|
|
55 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older
|
|
|
56 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is
|
|
|
57 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy!
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this
|
|
|
60 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release
|
|
|
61 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current
|
|
|
62 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks
|
|
|
63 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you
|
|
|
64 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C
|
|
|
65 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the
|
|
|
66 website. Gaim could use your help.
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 Mark: I love a circus.

|
70 0.82 (08/25/2004):
|
|
9852
|
71 Rob: Woah, where did I come from?
|
|
8540
|
72
|
|
9871
|
73 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch
|
|
|
74 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really
|
|
|
75 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It
|
|
9878
|
76 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm.
|
|
9871
|
77 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall!
|
|
|
78
|
|
9872
|
79 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had
|
|
|
80 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do
|
|
|
81 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor
|
|
|
82 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for
|
|
|
83 next time here>
|
|
|
84
|
|
9873
|
85 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a
|
|
|
86 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my
|
|
|
87 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame
|
|
|
88 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy
|
|
|
89 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing
|
|
|
90 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something
|
|
|
91 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will
|
|
|
92 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them.
|
|
|
93
|
|
9877
|
94 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some
|
|
|
95 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh
|
|
|
96 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws
|
|
|
97 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release,
|
|
|
98 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs.
|
|
|
99
|
|
9880
|
100 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given
|
|
|
101 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish
|
|
|
102 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to
|
|
|
103 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and
|
|
|
104 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also
|
|
|
105 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator
|
|
|
106 should be back next time around, for 0.83.
|
|
|
107
|
|
9688
|
108 0.81 (08/05/2004):
|
|
|
109 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just
|
|
|
110 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix
|
|
|
111 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's
|
|
|
112 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and
|
|
|
113 test.
|
|
|
114
|
|
9689
|
115 Christian: Yay for three weeks working so well. Boo for me not
|
|
|
116 doing much of anything this release, aside from a small memory
|
|
|
117 leak fix. I'm starting a new job and leaving my current one, so
|
|
|
118 when the dust settles and my schedule is a bit better, the very
|
|
|
119 cool status rewrite will be finished up. Especially now that I have
|
|
|
120 some help! I'd like to second Sean's thanks to all the people who
|
|
|
121 helped with this bug fix release. Gaim should be a bit more stable
|
|
|
122 for a lot of you. For those experiencing MSN problems still, we'll
|
|
|
123 get that nailed for you soon, promise.
|
|
|
124
|
|
9690
|
125 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of
|
|
|
126 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like
|
|
|
127 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing
|
|
|
128 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something.
|
|
|
129
|
|
9691
|
130 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however
|
|
|
131 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled
|
|
|
132 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll
|
|
|
133 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again.
|
|
|
134
|
|
9537
|
135 0.80 (07/15/2004):
|
|
|
136 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here
|
|
|
137 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a
|
|
|
138 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat.
|
|
|
139
|
|
9540
|
140 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think
|
|
9541
|
141 I somehow brought this upon myself.
|
|
9540
|
142
|
|
9542
|
143 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an
|
|
|
144 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on
|
|
|
145 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing
|
|
|
146 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv.
|
|
|
147 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet.
|
|
|
148
|
|
9543
|
149 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems
|
|
|
150 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC
|
|
|
151 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters,
|
|
|
152 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy
|
|
|
153 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling
|
|
|
154 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release
|
|
|
155
|
|
9382
|
156 0.79 (06/24/2004):
|
|
|
157 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll
|
|
|
158 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week
|
|
|
159 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks
|
|
|
160 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say
|
|
|
161 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised
|
|
|
162 if your Yahoo cuts out again.
|
|
9543
|
163
|
|
9384
|
164 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co-
|
|
9387
|
165 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going.
|
|
9384
|
166 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some
|
|
|
167 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog
|
|
|
168 has all the details there of course. Enjoy!
|
|
|
169
|
|
9383
|
170 Christian: Great release! MSN buddy icons and file transfer. A big round
|
|
9388
|
171 of applause to Felipe! Too bad about the Yahoo thing, but.. eep! I have
|
|
9383
|
172 to go! Movie with the girls and Farmer's Market.
|
|
|
173
|
|
9385
|
174 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully
|
|
|
175 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I
|
|
|
176 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo!
|
|
|
177 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web
|
|
|
178 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the
|
|
|
179 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added
|
|
|
180 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan
|
|
|
181 accounts.
|
|
9386
|
182
|
|
|
183 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up.
|
|
|
184 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be
|
|
|
185 a little rock or something in my foot now.
|
|
|
186
|
|
9390
|
187 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all.
|
|
|
188 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some
|
|
|
189 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding
|
|
|
190 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well,
|
|
|
191 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks.
|
|
|
192
|
|
9124
|
193 0.78 (05/30/2004):
|
|
9102
|
194 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think
|
|
|
195 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn
|
|
|
196 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic
|
|
|
197 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this
|
|
|
198 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active
|
|
|
199 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG
|
|
|
200 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every
|
|
|
201 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most
|
|
|
202 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the
|
|
|
203 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite
|
|
|
204 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about
|
|
|
205 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use
|
|
|
206 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will
|
|
|
207 usually be that the preference isn't all that important.
|
|
|
208
|
|
9103
|
209 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those
|
|
|
210 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool.
|
|
|
211 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went
|
|
|
212 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also
|
|
9106
|
213 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link
|
|
|
214 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those
|
|
|
215 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't
|
|
|
216 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks
|
|
|
217 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their
|
|
|
218 Crazy Patches.
|
|
9103
|
219
|
|
9104
|
220 Christian: First of all, congrats to Tim! He's our latest Gaim
|
|
|
221 developer, and we're all glad to have him on board. He's been a
|
|
|
222 valuable contributor for awhile now. Thanks again to Felipe Contreras
|
|
|
223 for all his MSN work this release. He has some exciting stuff that
|
|
|
224 we'll be seeing in 0.79. And last, but not least, thanks to all our
|
|
|
225 crazy and not-so-crazy patch writers. There's been a lot done this
|
|
|
226 release. I've been taking a small break, first due to school and now
|
|
|
227 work, but I'll be coming back strong in the next couple of releases. In
|
|
|
228 the meantime, enjoy.
|
|
|
229
|
|
9106
|
230 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries.
|
|
|
231 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't
|
|
|
232 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that
|
|
|
233 and then some should appear in 0.79.
|
|
|
234
|
|
9108
|
235 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences
|
|
9395
|
236 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it,
|
|
|
237 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still
|
|
|
238 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely
|
|
|
239 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your
|
|
|
240 complaints this way.
|
|
9108
|
241
|
|
9114
|
242 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all
|
|
|
243 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my
|
|
|
244 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and
|
|
|
245 a big warm welcome to Tim!
|
|
|
246
|
|
8762
|
247 0.77 (04/22/2004):
|
|
|
248 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray!
|
|
9395
|
249 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and
|
|
|
250 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla,
|
|
|
251 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release
|
|
|
252 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all
|
|
|
253 around.
|
|
8762
|
254
|
|
8763
|
255 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay
|
|
|
256 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of
|
|
|
257 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If
|
|
|
258 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also
|
|
|
259 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in
|
|
|
260 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin
|
|
|
261 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version
|
|
|
262 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-)
|
|
|
263
|
|
8764
|
264 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed
|
|
|
265 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I
|
|
|
266 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership
|
|
|
267 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program-
|
|
|
268 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto
|
|
|
269 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future...
|
|
|
270
|
|
8765
|
271 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the
|
|
|
272 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release.
|
|
|
273 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/
|
|
|
274 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not
|
|
|
275 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use
|
|
|
276 for the next release.
|
|
|
277
|
|
|
278 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with.
|
|
|
279
|
|
8768
|
280 Christian: A round of applause to our crazy patch writers! Their
|
|
|
281 contributions this release is impressive. WYSIWYG has come a long way
|
|
|
282 since 0.76 thanks to them. Also, thanks to Felipe Contreras for his
|
|
|
283 MSN contributions. We should see some good stuff going into there soon.
|
|
|
284 I myself didn't do a huge amount, aside from breaking everybody's
|
|
|
285 plugins, although I have some work going on in the background that will
|
|
|
286 hopefully make it into release soon.
|
|
|
287
|
|
8540
|
288 0.76 (04/01/2004):
|
|
8548
|
289 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite
|
|
|
290 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty
|
|
|
291 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and
|
|
|
292 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did
|
|
|
293 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just
|
|
|
294 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat
|
|
|
295 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them.

297 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit.
|
|
|
298 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been
|
|
|
299 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the
|
|
|
300 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to
|
|
|
301 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach,
|
|
9395
|
302 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing
|
|
|
303 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this
|
|
|
304 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again,
|
|
|
305 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all
|
|
|
306 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing
|
|
|
307 more than 200 bug reports this month alone.
|
|
8540
|
308
|
|
8541
|
309 Christian: It's been a long time between the last release, but I think
|
|
|
310 you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat stuff in this one.
|
|
|
311 So many bug fixes and new features. It's enough to drive a wombat mad!
|
|
|
312 The new WYSIWYG input is cool stuff. You'll either love it or hate it,
|
|
|
313 I guess. I'm working on some stuff that some of you are going to love,
|
|
|
314 but I'm not promising it for a few more versions. It's a secret!
|
|
|
315
|
|
8542
|
316 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach,
|
|
|
317 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up
|
|
|
318 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys!
|
|
8547
|
319
|
|
8543
|
320 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something
|
|
|
321 grand!!
|
|
8542
|
322
|
|
8547
|
323 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room
|
|
|
324 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that
|
|
|
325 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin,
|
|
|
326 and Stu fix all the bugs.
|
|
|
327
|
|
8551
|
328 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's
|
|
|
329 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop
|
|
|
330 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so
|
|
|
331 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the
|
|
|
332 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer
|
|
|
333 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten
|
|
|
334 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all
|
|
|
335 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this
|
|
|
336 release.
|
|
|
337
|
|
8553
|
338 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob
|
|
|
339 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the
|
|
|
340 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I
|
|
|
341 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several
|
|
|
342 others who actually did these things. And probably some other
|
|
|
343 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open
|
|
|
344 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY.
|
|
|
345
|
|
8047
|
346 0.75 (01/09/2004):
|
|
|
347 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so!
|
|
|
348 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness.
|
|
|
349 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from
|
|
|
350 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now,
|
|
|
351 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P
|
|
|
352
|
|
8049
|
353 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if
|
|
|
354 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin
|
|
|
355 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot
|
|
|
356 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean
|
|
|
357 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume.
|
|
|
358
|
|
|
359 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have
|
|
|
360 something _very_ neat.
|
|
|
361
|
|
8050
|
362 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat
|
|
|
363 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything
|
|
|
364 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you
|
|
|
365 to figure out what they were.
|
|
|
366
|
|
|
367 <boilerplate promises for cool features in $version++>
|
|
|
368
|
|
8051
|
369 Christian: I've been a bit absent this release, due to life stuff
|
|
|
370 and working on some other projects. Some MSN goodies are going to be
|
|
|
371 available in an upcoming version, and I have some neat Gaim-related
|
|
|
372 stuff I'm working on that will hopefully see the light of day. I'd
|
|
|
373 like to say good job to the other developers. Good release. (Of course,
|
|
|
374 every time I say that, something breaks horribly right after we
|
|
|
375 release it.)
|
|
|
376
|
|
8053
|
377 Luke: Okay, so Sean rocks and got Yahoo working again in 12 minutes.
|
|
|
378 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use
|
|
|
379 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file
|
|
|
380 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft,
|
|
|
381 and everyone should be happy to note that 0.75 leaks far less than
|
|
|
382 0.74. Also, a lot of other bug fixes happened that escape my notice
|
|
|
383 right now.
|
|
|
384
|
|
8055
|
385 Ethan: I just want to say that now logging really doesn't eat
|
|
|
386 memory 'till the cows come home. We don't think.
|
|
|
387
|
|
|
388 I would like to thank each and every one of these people, and

7635
|
422 0.74 (11/25/2003):
|
|
|
423 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong.
|
|
|
424
|
|
|
425 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but
|
|
|
426 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or
|
|
|
427 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs
|
|
|
428 it wasn't as nice as this will be.
|
|
|
429
|
|
|
430 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat
|
|
|
431 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they
|
|
|
432 said they'll be out until late.
|
|
|
433
|
|
|
434 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-)
|
|
|
435
|
|
7593
|
436 0.73 (11/21/2003):
|
|
|
437 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not
|
|
|
438 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL
|
|
|
439 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and
|
|
|
440 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when
|
|
|
441 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that
|
|
|
442 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I
|
|
|
443 forget what it is.
|
|
|
444
|
|
7595
|
445 Christian: This is a good release, as Nathan said. For all those who
|
|
|
446 hated all the disconnect dialogs, we now have a {dis,re}connect{ed,}
|
|
|
447 dialog that replaces all of them and shows every account that became
|
|
|
448 disconnected. Also, there were some MSN fixes thrown in, such as
|
|
|
449 the problem with unblocking users. My personal favorite, since it's
|
|
|
450 really been bugging me for awhile, is the bug with the border on the
|
|
|
451 close buttons is fixed. Oh yes, and let's not forget the new logging.
|
|
|
452 It simply rocks. This is a pretty stable release, so get it. 0.74 is
|
|
|
453 going to have some niceties that people have been waiting for.
|
|
|
454
|
|
7390
|
455 0.72 (10/30/2003):
|
|
|
456 Sean: I think I'll go as the Gaim logo guy for Halloween. That
|
|
|
457 would be a cool costume.
|
|
|
458
|
|
7391
|
459 Luke: We've had a record month for number of bugs submitted (395 as
|
|
|
460 of now) this month, but the total number of bugs open has grown by
|
|
7393
|
461 less than 20, so while it might be fustrating for those of you out
|
|
7391
|
462 there who think your bug report is being ignored, know that we are
|
|
7393
|
463 doing our best to look at them all :-). This release fixes a goodly
|
|
7391
|
464 number of bugs including the troubles with signing on icq (thanks
|
|
7393
|
465 to Mark). Enjoy!
|
|
7391
|
466
|
|
7392
|
467 Christian: Last release brought forward a lot of bug reports, such
|
|
|
468 as the ICQ bug, and also trouble with installing SSL. I can't count
|
|
|
469 how many people were confused as to why their MSN plugin wasn't
|
|
|
470 loading. Now, it'll load regardless, and when you try to connect,
|
|
|
471 it'll give you an error dialog saying to install SSL (if you don't
|
|
|
472 have it installed, of course). I didn't do a whole lot this release,
|
|
|
473 but that'll change with the next. There are some fun things coming.
|
|
|
474
|
|
7394
|
475 Ethan: In complete defiance of history, I did something this
|
|
|
476 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long
|
|
|
477 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of
|
|
|
478 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing
|
|
|
479 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are
|
|
|
480 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on
|
|
|
481 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues
|
|
|
482 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers
|
|
|
483 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)!
|
|
|
484
|
|
7397
|
485 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the
|
|
|
486 bugs introduced in the last release. Registration works again, and
|
|
|
487 the next person to break it is going to suffer. I also fixed a
|
|
|
488 handfull of other little things that I can't remember. This should
|
|
|
489 be a good release.
|
|
|
490
|
|
7209
|
491 0.71 (10/09/2003):
|
|
7219
|
492 Rob: It's been a while since I've commited some news. I've had a
|
|
7228
|
493 very hectic few weeks/months. Thing are finally coming together
|
|
7219
|
494 again for me. This release features much copying and pasting. Yeah.
|
|
|
495
|
|
7209
|
496 Sean: I can't wait for everything to be core/ui split!
|
|
|
497
|
|
7210
|
498 Christian: This is a good release, and I don't think people will have
|
|
|
499 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions,
|
|
9395
|
500 and much progress has been made on the core/UI split. We should be done
|
|
|
501 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three
|
|
|
502 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again,
|
|
|
503 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility
|
|
|
504 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may
|
|
|
505 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some
|
|
|
506 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If
|
|
|
507 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without
|
|
|
508 it. Starting October 15th, the old protocol won't be supported
|
|
7210
|
509 anymore, so there's no reason to support the old one anymore.
|
|
|
510
|
|
7213
|
511 Herman: I bet some plugin authors have resorted to making voodoo dolls
|
|
|
512 of Christian. Nothing new for Win Gaim users other than a fix for
|
|
|
513 missing aim buddy icons, and removal of gtk-wimp (until it matures).
|
|
7218
|
514
|
|
7228
|
515 Mark: People are going to make a voodoo doll of me and shower it with
|
|
|
516 kisses and chocolate women: When an AIM user is away, you can now view
|
|
|
517 the person's away message in their tooltip. This is very similar to
|
|
|
518 what iChat does, only our tooltip will wrap lines rather than displaying
|
|
7218
|
519 off your screen :-)
|
|
7211
|
520
|
|
7221
|
521 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind.
|
|
|
522 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one
|
|
|
523 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code,
|
|
|
524 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from
|
|
|
525 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion
|
|
|
526 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before,
|
|
|
527 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it.
|
|
|
528
|
|
7225
|
529 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things,
|
|
|
530 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I
|
|
|
531 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_
|
|
|
532 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors
|
|
|
533 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months.
|
|
7226
|
534 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months.
|
|
7225
|
535 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do
|
|
|
536 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I
|
|
|
537 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon.
|
|
|
538 Don't tell Luke.
|
|
|
539
|
|
7228
|
540 Luke: Mmmm, I probly did even less than Ethan, except I closed rather
|
|
|
541 more bugs for other reasons. Lots of you submitting duplicate bugs.
|
|
7227
|
542 This should be a pretty good release. We still have a couple crashes
|
|
7228
|
543 in ssl stuff, but we fixed a number of the bugs in the tracker, and
|
|
7227
|
544 the code cleaning helps alot as well. Enjoy!

|
546 0.70 (9/28/2003):
|
|
7005
|
547 Sean: Yahoo! works (for now). That's good NEWS if I've ever heard it.
|
|
|
548 Huge thanks to our dear friends over at Cerulean Studios, creators of
|
|
6998
|
549 Trillian, for helping us out.
|
|
|
550
|
|
7001
|
551 Nathan: This release also works out most of the kinks in the new
|
|
|
552 contact support. The Jabber goodies I promised will have to wait
|
|
|
553 for now.
|
|
|
554
|
|
7004
|
555 Christian: I didn't really do anything except fix a couple of issues
|
|
|
556 loading protocol plugins that had plugin dependencies and getting perl
|
|
|
557 to install where we tell it to. I had hoped that 0.70 would include
|
|
|
558 a finished libgaim, but Yahoo kind of wrecked that dream. We'll see it
|
|
|
559 within the next few releases. Life has been busy in a good way :)
|
|
|
560
|
|
6960
|
561 0.69 (9/24/2003):
|
|
|
562 Sean: MSN and Yahoo! work. That's good NEWS if I've ever heard it.
|
|
|
563
|
|
6962
|
564 Herman: Win Gaim has been around for more than a year now.. Time Flies.
|
|
|
565
|
|
6966
|
566 Nathan: {{Meta,}{Contact,Buddy},Person} support for all! Also, SSL
|
|
|
567 support for Jabber makes its debut. More Jabber goodies next release.
|
|
|
568
|

569 Christian: It's a good release. The main highlight really is
|
|
|
570 Nathan's Contact support, which is just beautiful. My buddy list
|
|
|
571 shrunk considerably. As Sean stated, MSN and Yahoo! work. MSN
|
|
|
572 does not support the new MSN buddy icons and stuff, unfortunately,
|
|
|
573 but we'll see about 0.70. There were a whole bunch of Perl fixes,
|
|
|
574 so hopefully there will be less complaints directed to my code in
|
|
|
575 that area ;) Among other new additions of mine are SSL support
|
|
|
576 (both Mozilla NSS and GNUTLS), Plugin IPC (letting plugins talk to
|
|
|
577 each other), and some visual niceties in the Accounts window.
|
|
|
578 Ka-Hing Cheung put in animated smileys, which should please many.
|
|
|
579 Yeah, good release. Just you wait until 0.70 though.
|
|
|
580
|
|
6967
|
581 Robot101: Hi mom. My patch isn't in this release. Watch for the next
|
|
|
582 one.
|
|
|
583
|
|
|
584 Mark: Metacontact support, yeah. Right click on a dude and
|
|
|
585 select "Expand."
|
|
|
586
|
|
6969
|
587 Ethan: God bless the USA.

6685
|
589 0.68 (09/01/2003):
|
|
|
590 Rob: Wow. I am so incredibly tired.
|
|
6658
|
591
|
|
6685
|
592 Sean: School starts tomorrow! How fun! I'll have more time to hack
|
|
|
593 gaim (isn't that supposed to be the reverse?)*
|
|
|
594
|
|
|
595 *Some NEWS recycled from v0.10.0
|
|
|
596
|
|
6658
|
597 Nathan: I didn't do much for this release, except make Jabber
|
|
|
598 registration work, and put in a slight tweak to make Gaim work a
|
|
|
599 little better with jabberd2. Next release you'll all see what I've
|
|
|
600 been spending my time on, but for now enjoy the fruits of everyone
|
|
|
601 else's labor.
|
|
|
602
|
|
6681
|
603 Mark: I've been really busy with other stuff, but I've spent my
|
|
|
604 Gaim-time on working towards a more formal translation process.
|
|
|
605 Hopefully this will result in Gaim shipping with more complete
|
|
|
606 translation files. Also, all our awesome translators are mentioned
|
|
|
607 in the about window now.
|
|
|
608
|
|
6683
|
609 Christian: I've been really busy with this stuff. Gaim got a new
|
|
|
610 signal architecture, which is just really cool. The old events system
|
|
|
611 is gone. Now you connect a signal from a handle (which can be
|
|
|
612 a plugin or whatever) to a function, and plugins can register their
|
|
|
613 own functions, and other neat things. Oh yeah, and perl was rewritten.
|
|
|
614 There's a new HOWTO in the Doxygen docs (make docs), but no API
|
|
|
615 reference yet. Developers, look at the plugins/perl/common/*.xs files
|
|
|
616 for now. I also wrote plugin dependencies, which will be more useful
|
|
|
617 down the road. Gaim v0.69 is going to have the new MSN plugin that
|
|
|
618 works with the latest MSN protocol. Please be patient for that, as
|
|
|
619 we're getting a lot of MSN questions we answer over and over.
|
|
|
620
|
|
6684
|
621 Luke: Wow, I actually did something for this release besides commit
|
|
|
622 translations! Well, sorta. I got permission to commit some patches
|
|
|
623 so gaim now has color support for yahoo, and you can fetch some
|
|
|
624 basic info on yahoo and msn users. Yay for people submitting patches!

|
626 0.67 (08/14/2003):
|
|
6471
|
627
|
|
|
628 Rob: I live in Georgia. I don't care about blackouts. We only
|
|
6472
|
629 have to deal with floods and tornadoes.
|
|
|
630
|
|
6470
|
631 Sean: Fortunately me for me, I live in the only place in New York
|
|
|
632 that still has power tonight! New features in 0.6@%f)*2.{\
|
|
|
633 NO CARRIER
|
|
|
634
|
|
6472
|
635 Christian: I guess Sean couldn't be here to tell you about all the
|
|
|
636 great new things. New stuff was done! It's simply amazing. Yeah. So,
|
|
|
637 new IRC protocol plugin, tab text is greyed on events (like "So and
|
|
|
638 so has signed off!"), protocol icons on tabs (thanks to Etan Reisner),
|
|
|
639 some dialog rewrites.. Great stuff. Gaim's looking more teh perrty.
|
|
|
640 My big "wow" thing is that the core and UI were split enough for me
|
|
|
641 to remove the remaining UI code and make a patch, and libgaim was born,
|
|
|
642 for experimental purposes. However, using it, I was able to make the
|
|
|
643 second UI ever for Gaim - Gaim for Qtopia (Zaurus and iPaq PDAs).
|
|
|
644 This is viewable at http://qpe-gaim.sf.net/ (shameless plug?). More
|
|
|
645 UIs to come I hope! :) Exciting time in Gaim.

|
647 0.66 (07/18/2003):
|
|
6194
|
648 Rob: Oops!!!! This reminds me of other silly things that we've
|
|
6214
|
649 done. I agree with what Herman is going to say. ;-)
|
|
6137
|
650
|
|
6185
|
651 Sean: Man, 0.65 was so super lame and boring. But 0.66? WOW!
|
|
|
652 This is the most incredible thing EVER. We've done tons of work
|
|
|
653 since 0.65, and I'm really proud of what we came out with. Thanks
|
|
|
654 to everyone who helped!
|
|
|
655
|
|
6186
|
656 Christian: Wow, I can't even begin to describe how long we've worked
|
|
|
657 on this one. Monstrous release. Best ever! You won't even recognize
|
|
|
658 it. If you've had account import problems, delete your accounts.xml
|
|
|
659 and upgrade to 0.66. Just, wow.
|
|
|
660
|
|
6188
|
661 Herman: This is to make up for slipping off the two week release cycle.
|
|
|
662
|
|
6189
|
663 Luke: Okay, people, yes we did test 0.65 for bugs, but hey, some things
|
|
|
664 slip through. This release makes up for that. This should fix the bugs
|
|
|
665 0.65 introduced, at least the ones that most of you would otherwise hit.
|
|
|
666
|
|
6196
|
667 Nathan: We are so smart. S-M-R-T...I mean S-M-A-R-T.
|
|
|
668
|
|
|
669 0.65 (07/16/2003):
|
|
6127
|
670 Rob: Wooo! We're finally ready for 0.65. Are you guys excited? I
|
|
|
671 haven't worked on anything in this release, either. I've been
|
|
|
672 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask
|
|
|
673 me when it will be ready. If you ask me then I won't answer
|
|
|
674 you. You've been warned! :-D
|

|
675
|
|
6134
|
676 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS,
|
|
|
677 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've
|
|
|
678 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm
|
|
|
679 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway,
|
|
|
680 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to
|
|
|
681 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it.
|
|
|
682 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother
|
|
|
683 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some
|
|
|
684 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring.
|
|
|
685 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination.
|
|
|
686 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank
|
|
|
687 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr...
|
|
|
688
|
|
6129
|
689 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably
|
|
|
690 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that
|
|
|
691 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug
|
|
6135
|
692 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by
|
|
6129
|
693 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians
|
|
|
694 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung
|
|
6130
|
695 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just
|
|
6129
|
696 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay
|
|
|
697 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires.
|
|
|
698
|
|
6131
|
699 Christian: This has been a great release. faceprint rocks, as he got
|
|
|
700 things moving in the core/UI split by redoing preferences, which forced
|
|
|
701 us to think about how things would be split. We now have XML
|
|
|
702 preferences, accounts, pounces, and away messages. No more .gaimrc
|
|
|
703 ugliness. The accounts and connection code now have new core/UI split
|
|
|
704 APIs, and there is very little to do before our split is ready to be
|
|
|
705 used. Rob and I are working off an experimental tarball of what will
|
|
|
706 eventually be libgaim. He's working on a MacOS X UI (don't ask him
|
|
|
707 about it, he'll ignore you) and I'm doing a Qtopia UI (you can ask
|
|
|
708 about that, it's usable!). We added a new protocol, Trepia.
|
|
|
709 Information about it can be found at http://www.trepia.com/. It's not
|
|
|
710 complete, so don't send in bug reports about it not finding people in
|
|
|
711 your local area, please. Oh, and lots of MSN bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
712 Practically all the known ones. I feared 0.65 would be unstable due to
|
|
|
713 our rewrites, I believe this is going to be one of the most stable
|
|
|
714 releases we've had in awhile (knock on wood), thanks to Megan (Cae),
|
|
|
715 who has done an amazing job at locating, categorizing and documenting
|
|
|
716 the various bugs she has run into, and kevin (SimGuy). Stay tuned for
|
|
|
717 upcoming releases. Neat things are coming, but if it has fangs and
|
|
|
718 claws, curl into a ball. Or yell at it. I can't remember which is
|
|
|
719 correct.
|
|
|
720
|
|
6133
|
721 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have
|
|
|
722 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them.
|
|
|
723 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for
|
|
|
724 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work
|
|
|
725 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the
|
|
|
726 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy
|
|
|
727 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them
|
|
|
728 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look
|
|
|
729 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to
|
|
|
730 forget that things are optional again. :-)
|
|
|
731
|
|
6137
|
732 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've
|
|
|
733 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them,
|
|
|
734 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff,
|
|
|
735 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the
|
|
|
736 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock.
|
|
|
737
|
|
6157
|
738 Herman: I was told to write something.. so here it goes. Windows users
|
|
|
739 will be happy to know that they can now rearrange their Buddy Lists.
|
|
|
740 I finally got stuck into GTK+ code and fixed the bug in question (this
|
|
|
741 release will include a patched version of GTK+ 2.2.1). I integrated
|
|
|
742 the WinGaim systray code into the docklet plugin bringing those nice
|
|
|
743 docklet features (i.e. Message queuing) to WinGaim. Another major
|
|
|
744 WinGaim change of note is that debug versions of all dlls can now be
|
|
|
745 built, providing useful backtraces not only for gaim.dll but for the
|
|
|
746 plugins as well.
|
|
|
747
|
|
6127
|
748 0.64 (05/29/2003):
|
|
5562
|
749 Rob: I didn't do anything this release either. We're under a crunch
|
|
|
750 week at work. Friday is the end of the crunch. Hooray!! Thanks for
|
|
|
751 all of your hard work, guys :).
|
|
|
752
|
|
5555
|
753 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded
|
|
|
754 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're
|
|
|
755 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64
|
|
|
756 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in
|
|
|
757 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even
|
|
|
758 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins
|
|
|
759 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I
|
|
5559
|
760 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes,
|
|
5555
|
761 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose.
|
|
|
762
|
|
5553
|
763 Christian: I have a few new goodies in 0.64, but they're mostly
|
|
|
764 back-end stuff that people like us care about. The things that most
|
|
|
765 of you will like the most is that almost all of the reported MSN
|
|
|
766 bugs were fixed. Users with an empty contact list can now login again.
|
|
|
767 The friendly name bug is gone. E-mail notifications work again. Yay!
|
|
|
768 We have some big changes in store for 0.65. Careful if you use CVS...
|
|
|
769 Things will break. :)
|
|
|
770
|
|
5558
|
771 Mark: I never really have anything important to add. I'd just like to
|
|
|
772 thank Jack Daniels for his exquisite bug reports. And whiskey.
|
|
|
773
|
|
5559
|
774 Nathan: I don't think I did anything for this release. I'm a bum.
|
|
|
775
|
|
5403
|
776 0.63 (05/16/2003)
|
|
5409
|
777 Rob: Wow, so, what can I say? I've been rather AWOL for the past few
|
|
|
778 releases. However, that's okay. Work has been pretty friggin hec-
|
|
|
779 tic, so, that's my excuse. Work is finally going to be slowing down
|
|
|
780 some. I plan to be doing more Gaim work. That makes me happy. That
|
|
|
781 makes you happy. That makes us all happy. Now, I just need to
|
|
|
782 finish rebuilding my car's engine. Engine rebuilds put the FU in
|
|
|
783 fun!
|
|
5403
|
784
|
|
|
785 Sean: Yay! School is finally over. I have to give tons of cherry-
|
|
|
786 flavored props to everyone whose been helping out while I stayed away
|
|
|
787 from Gaim to keep myself from failing again, especially Christian and
|
|
|
788 Nathan.
|
|
|
789
|
|
5404
|
790 Luke: Okay, this is NOT a bug fix release, at least for those of you
|
|
|
791 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl,
|
|
|
792 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs
|
|
|
793 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date
|
|
|
794 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant
|
|
|
795 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-)
|
|
|
796
|
|
5405
|
797 Christian: As Sean and Luke said, I did a tiny bit of work in this
|
|
|
798 release. The MSN prpl was rewritten, and should now work better. It's
|
|
|
799 compatible with the MSNP7 protocol that MSN v4.x uses. Unfortunately,
|
|
|
800 MSNP9 is being worked on. Bah. Also, it has MSN Mobile support, so you
|
|
|
801 can register your MSN account with http://mobile.msn.com/ and people
|
|
|
802 can page your mobile device. You can also page other MSN Mobile users.
|
|
|
803 Groups are now stored on server. Oh, and due to the nature of MSNP7,
|
|
|
804 conversations are timed out after 5 minutes, so you'll unfortunately
|
|
5407
|
805 see a message indicating that. Sorry! I wrote experimental support
|
|
|
806 for my own implementation of MSN buddy icons. You can set them in your
|
|
|
807 account settings much like with AIM, and when you talk to other gaim
|
|
|
808 users, they'll get your buddy icon. This will last for a few releases,
|
|
|
809 until the buddy icon implementation in the upcoming MSNP9 protocol is
|
|
|
810 figured out, and we have support for that. That'll be a couple months
|
|
|
811 away at least. Also, we have a rewrite of the plugin interface, so
|
|
|
812 rewrite your plugins! Things are going to get very cool from it. The
|
|
|
813 debug API was core/UI split, and some enhancements were made to the
|
|
|
814 debug window. I think that's all from me. It's been a fun release.
|
|
|
815 Stay tuned, I have some great things coming up!
|
|
5405
|
816
|
|
5410
|
817 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look
|
|
|
818 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you
|
|
|
819 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff
|
|
|
820 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home
|
|
|
821 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't
|
|
|
822 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for
|
|
|
823 the next release. Really. ;-)
|
|
|
824
|
|
5403
|
825 0.62 (04/23/2003):
|
|
5193
|
826 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing
|
|
|
827 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've
|
|
|
828 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting
|
|
|
829 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great
|
|
|
830 work without me. Thanks, guys.
|
|
|
831
|
|
5194
|
832 Christian: I can't remember what I did here.. Think I'll take a quick
|
|
9395
|
833 look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay,
|
|
|
834 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin
|
|
|
835 authors will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is
|
|
|
836 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell
|
|
|
837 your friends. 33 Gaim users can't be wrong!
|
|
5194
|
838
|
|
9395
|
839 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a
|
|
|
840 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much
|
|
|
841 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been
|
|
|
842 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63.
|
|
5196

844 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat
|
|
|
845 my Pop-tarts now.
|
|
|
846
|
|
9395
|
847 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this
|
|
|
848 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports
|
|
|
849 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your
|
|
|
850 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML
|
|
|
851 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that
|
|
|
852 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted
|
|
|
853 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-)

|
855 0.61 (04/07/2003):
|
|
5059
|
856 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting
|
|
|
857 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I
|
|
|
858 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the
|
|
|
859 faucet. It drips all night.
|
|
|
860
|
|
9395
|
861 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far)
|
|
|
862 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything
|
|
|
863 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from
|
|
|
864 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and
|
|
|
865 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.
|
|
5073
|
866
|
|
5058
|
867 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some
|
|
|
868 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag
|
|
|
869 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my
|
|
|
870 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I
|
|
|
871 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one.
|
|
|
872
|
|
5075
|
873 Christian: I'm not as cool as Rob, Sean, or Nathan, so I go down here.
|
|
|
874 Well, among some of the fixes is my new buddy pounce code! This adds new
|
|
|
875 buddy pounce types, core/ui splitifies the code, and makes the dialog
|
|
|
876 box spiffy. Yay frequent releases! Erm, I can't think of anything else
|
|
|
877 cool to say here. Have fun, everyone!
|
|
|
878
|
|
9395
|
879 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a
|
|
|
880 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The
|
|
|
881 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having
|
|
|
882 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases
|
|
|
883 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-).
|
|
5076
|
884
|
|
5078
|
885 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done
|
|
|
886 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah.
|
|
|
887
|
|
5077
|
888 Sean: Luke can't spell "fewer". How un-cool is that?
|
|
|
889
|

5023
|
890 0.60 (04/04/2003):
|
|
|
891 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the
|
|
|
892 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about
|
|
|
893 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right
|
|
|
894 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if
|
|
|
895 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development.
|
|
|
896 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em!
|
|
|
897
|
|
5024
|
898 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can
|
|
|
899 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone
|
|
|
900 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to
|
|
|
901 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention.
|
|
|
902 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone
|
|
|
903 enjoy! :)
|
|
|
904
|
|
5025
|
905 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up
|
|
|
906 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used
|
|
|
907 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his
|
|
|
908 (shot) glass ;-)

|
|
9395
|
910 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally,
|
|
|
911 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell
|
|
|
912 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was
|
|
|
913 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim
|
|
|
914 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have
|
|
|
915 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a
|
|
|
916 sammich!
|
|
5026
|
917
|
|
5029
|
918 Mark: Whoops, I started drinking a little earlier than I was supposed
|
|
|
919 to. I guess I missed the memo. Hmm, I ate at a restaurant somewhere,
|
|
|
920 I think it was at Snowshoe, and the menu had "sammiches" on it. It was
|
|
|
921 pretty sweet. I'd like to give a shout out to all the Gaim
|
|
|
922 devizelopers for rizocking the hizzy the past few months. Word.

925 0.59 (06/24/2002):
|

3289
|
926 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep.
|
|
|
927 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :)
|
|
3334
|
928 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :(
|
|
|
929
|
|
3335
|
930 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no
|
|
|
931 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together
|
|
|
932 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some
|
|
|
933 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent,
|
|
|
934 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my
|
|
3336
|
935 computer works again, you have my word*
|
|
|
936
|
|
|
937 *My word is worthless.

3241
|
940 0.58 (05/13/2002):
|
|
3242
|
941 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release
|
|
|
942 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome
|
|
|
943 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking
|
|
|
944 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other
|
|
|
945 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think.
|
|
3238
|
946
|
|
3243
|
947 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an
|
|
|
948 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features.
|
|
|
949 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;)
|
|
|
950
|
|
3244
|
951 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is:
|
|
|
952 Rob's a mango.
|
|
|
953
|
|
3173
|
954 0.57 (04/25/2002):
|
|
3180
|
955 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is
|
|
|
956 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation,
|
|
|
957 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean
|
|
|
958 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read
|
|
|
959 our minds ;-).
|
|
|
960
|
|
3179
|
961 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that
|
|
|
962 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol
|
|
|
963 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be
|
|
|
964 cooler, I promise.
|
|
3173
|
965
|
|
3144
|
966 0.56 (04/11/2002):
|
|
|
967 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have
|
|
|
968 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks.
|
|
|
969 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty.
|
|
|
970 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through
|
|
|
971 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like
|
|
|
972 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one
|
|
|
973 annoying style problem.
|
|
|
974
|
|
|
975 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish
|
|
|
976 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make
|
|
|
977 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2.
|
|
|
978 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it
|
|
|
979 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near
|
|
|
980 future.

|
982 0.55 (03/29/2002):
|
|
|
983 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean
|
|
|
984 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch
|
|
|
985 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler,
|
|
|
986 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy.
|
|
|
987
|
|
3110
|
988 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not
|
|
|
989 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches
|
|
|
990 anyway. Thanks guys!

|
3053
|
992 0.54 (03/14/2002):
|
|
|
993 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this
|
|
|
994 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific
|
|
|
995 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble*
|
|
|
996
|
|
3054
|
997 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced
|
|
|
998 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding
|
|
|
999 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working,
|
|
|
1000 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits!
|

|
|
2993
|
1002 0.53 (02/28/2002):
|
|
|
1003 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a
|
|
|
1004 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-)
|
|
|
1005
|
|
|
1006
|
|
|
1007 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions.
|
|
|
1008 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy
|
|
|
1009 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct
|
|
|
1010 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will
|
|
|
1011 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing
|
|
|
1012 notification too. Hooray!

2961
|
1015 0.52 (02/17/2002):
|
|
2965
|
1016 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release.
|
|
|
1017 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going
|
|
|
1018 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect
|
|
|
1019 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen,
|
|
|
1020 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-)
|
|
|
1021
|
|
|
1022 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is
|
|
|
1023 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful.
|
|
|
1024 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can
|
|
|
1025 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in
|
|
|
1026 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want
|
|
|
1027 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to
|
|
|
1028 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the
|
|
|
1029 next release ;)
|
|
|

|
2934
|
1035 Rob: Well, here we go. I FINALLY got around to making a release
|
|
|
1036 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really
|
|
|
1037 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete
|
|
|
1038 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some
|
|
|
1039 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-)

1049
|
|
|
1050 Whew! That was a bad little mambo. I hope everyone had a nice
|
|
|
1051 little Holiday, if you celebrate. If not, then I hope you had
|
|
|
1052 a sucky weekend. :-D.
|

1054 Oh, lots of cheese for everyone!! (Beware the duffle)

1055

1056 It's getting cloudy. I think it's going to storm somethin'

1057 fierce. That's my southern talk. Do you like it?

2726

1058

|
|
|
1065 Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking! :) There's not
|
|
|
1066 too much for me to say in this release. I'd just like to
|
|
|
1067 thank Eric for his hard work. :)
|

1072 Rob: Hi. Gaim v0.47 has been released, as you should already
|
|
|
1073 know. I hope all of you had a nice little halloween. There are
|
|
|
1074 quite a number of changes in this release. There are a few too
|
|
|
1075 many to list here, so I will redirect you to ye olde ChangeLog.
|
|
2654
|
1076
|
|
|
1077 Eric: Remember back in the day when TOC was the only protocol
|
|
|
1078 Gaim could use? Remember the login window from back then? Back
|
|
|
1079 before Gaim had perl or plugins or multiple connections or
|
|
|
1080 10 different protocols. Things have changed so much since then.
|
|
|
1081 Many more changes in this release as well. All good things.
|
|
|
1082 Don't forget to talk to SmarterChild.

1085 Rob: Hey guys! The smores were great! I really enjoyed meeting
|
|
|
1086 up with all of you guys and singing campfire songs. It was
|
|
|
1087 really awesome. Thanks for the beer, too. Next time, it's on me.
|
|
|
1088
|
|
|
1089 This release has quite the number of bug fixes. I won't bother
|
|
|
1090 going into detail here. Just ust it, love it, live it - SEGA!
|
|
|
1091
|
|
2539
|
1092 Eric: Lots of fixes. Things compile well now. ICQ has stopped
|
|
|
1093 crashing on PPC and Sparc. If you know someone who isn't using
|
|
|
1094 Gaim because it was unstable, please get them to try this
|
|
|
1095 version. It's much better, I promise.

|
1097 0.45 (10/04/2001):
|
|
|
1098 Eric: Well, it seems that the time has come for yet another
|
|
|
1099 release. There are several yummy additions in this release, and
|
|
|
1100 quite a few useful bugfixes as well. Unfortunately it seems that
|
|
|
1101 Rob is currently unavailable; he joins us in spirit. He'll be
|
|
|
1102 joining us later for a group sing-along and smores by the
|
|
|
1103 campfire. But for now, you'll need to keep yourselves occupied
|
|
|
1104 with 0.45. And remember, a happy hacker is a pimpin' penguin.

1105

2325
|
1106 0.44 (09/20/2001):
|
|
|
1107 Rob: Another release has come upon us. There were actually quite
|
|
|
1108 a number of things in ye old ChangeLog for this release. I don't
|
|
|
1109 feel like talking about them here, so you can read about them
|
|
|
1110 in ... you guessed it .. the ChangeLog. Oh, and if you're
|
|
|
1111 wondering about setting buddy icons, wait til 0.45 or
|
|
|
1112 use CVS shortly after this release. ;-)
|
|
|
1113
|
|
2326
|
1114 Eric: You should all be using CVS anyway. This has become the
|
|
|
1115 slogan in our IRC room, #gaim on irc.openprojects.net. The IRC
|
|
|
1116 plugin got lots of updates (mostly because I felt bad about using
|
|
|
1117 X-Chat for IRC when gaim supposedly had an IRC plugin), so you
|
|
|
1118 should load the plugin and join us. :)

1121
|
|
|
1122 Rob: Well, I knew that the day would eventually come. I just didn't
|
|
|
1123 expect it to be so soon. ;-). Yes, that's right, Eric and I finally
|
|
|
1124 got sick of all of the pre releases. We didn't want to make this
|
|
|
1125 release an official 0.11.0. We thought that it would cause a lot
|
|
|
1126 of confusion. We didn't want to continue our trend of prereleases
|
|
|
1127 either. So, since gaim was first released officially, there
|
|
2225
|
1128 have been 42 releases. This is number 43, hence the 0.43 version
|
|
2223
|
1129 number. We're going to stick with this trend from now on. :-).
|
|
|
1130
|
|
2225
|
1131 Eric: We're also going to be starting a release early, release
|
|
|
1132 often trend, that hopefully we'll stick to this time. Hopefully
|
|
|
1133 we'll be putting out a new release every two weeks or so. You
|
|
|
1134 should all be using CVS anyway :) And as always, don't forget to
|
|
|
1135 report bugs! Anyway, since there's only been 9 days since the
|
|
|
1136 last release not much has changed. A bug-fix release and a version
|
|
|
1137 change mostly :)
|
|
2223

1138
|
|
2185
|
1139 0.11.0-pre15 (08/28/2001):
|
|
|
1140 Eric: This isn't a real release. Really. It's just a quick thing
|
|
|
1141 because pre14 doesn't cut it for some people. Also not counting
|
|
|
1142 the month break that I took it's been a month since the last
|
|
|
1143 release, so it's about time. You should all be using CVS anyway.
|
|
|
1144 Instructions are at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/cvs.shmtl. And
|
|
|
1145 don't forget to report bugs! http://gaim.sourceforge.net/bug.php3.
|
|
|
1146
|
|
2187
|
1147 Rob: Hey guys. I've been rather inactive as well. It's a long
|
|
|
1148 story, but essentially, my company layed off a bunch of people,
|
|
|
1149 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new
|
|
|
1150 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back
|
|
|
1151 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be
|
|
|
1152 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower
|
|
|
1153 back and neck. So, basically, we were inactive, but not dead.
|
|
|
1154
|
|
|
1155 Also, just to keep you all updated, the AOL battle is still
|
|
|
1156 in progress. Our lawyers are still in negotiation with thiers.
|
|
|
1157 We'll keep you updated with what happens.
|
|
|

|
1159 0.11.0-pre14 (06/17/2001):
|
|
|
1160 Eric: Wee. Lots of fun things. BIG bug fix release. I did a lot of
|
|
|
1161 stupid things in the last one, hehe. You all forgive me though,
|
|
|
1162 right?
|
|
|
1163
|
|
|
1164 Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane.
|
|
|
1165 Remember that. It's a great Scott Adams quote.
|
|
|
1166
|
|
2058
|
1167 Rob: I feel naughty. I should have released this a lot earlier
|
|
|
1168 in the day. I have a problem though. I started cooking, invited
|
|
|
1169 a couple friends over for dinner and then took a walk to a
|
|
|
1170 24hr doughnut shop where I sat outside and talked about
|
|
|
1171 random stuff. Oh well, at least it's still before the 18th.
|
|
|
1172
|
|
|
1173 Enjoy this release guys! :-)
|
|
|
1174
|
|
|
1175
|
|
1967
|
1176 0.11.0-pre13 (06/06/2001):
|
|
|
1177 Rob: \O. Howdy doodie! This release isn't coming too far behind
|
|
|
1178 the previous release but hey, what can ya say, there were a couple
|
|
|
1179 of good fixes in this one. Jabber & IRC can set / view the topics
|
|
|
1180 of chat rooms now, napster doesnt crash on bad login names and
|
|
|
1181 passwords, and the man page got a big update.
|
|
|
1182
|
|
|
1183 Well, that's about all, folks. Next release, I hope to try to get
|
|
|
1184 group MSN chat support added as well as DCC support in the IRC
|
|
|
1185 plugin.
|
|
|
1186
|
|
|
1187 Peace!
|
|
|
1188
|
|
1968
|
1189 Eric: I apologize if any of you had to restart your X server because
|
|
|
1190 of me. This release won't make you have to do that, I promise. There
|
|
|
1191 were a couple other minor fixes with the buddy icon stuff, it still
|
|
|
1192 has a way to go but at least it's better than it was before. Oh yeah,
|
|
|
1193 and Oscar is able to sign on again.
|
|
|
1194
|
|
1913
|
1195 0.11.0-pre12 (05/29/2001):
|
|
|
1196 Rob: Hi! O/. My girlfriend was visiting me so I've been busy being
|
|
|
1197 unavailable online. Hooray.
|
|
|
1198
|
|
|
1199 There have been a lot of good changes in this release. Some improved
|
|
|
1200 dialogs, some updates to IRC and MSN, as well as a nifty little thing
|
|
|
1201 that Eric did that I'll let him tell you about.
|
|
|
1202
|
|
|
1203 Oh yeah, I also got food poisoned by bad eggs. Ugh!
|
|
1783
|
1204
|
|
1914
|
1205 Eric: Every protocol except TOC has been improved since the last
|
|
|
1206 release. All of them except Zephyr and ICQ now use the same proxy
|
|
|
1207 options, which you can set in the preferences. ICQ can use them if
|
|
|
1208 you set it to Socks5 though.
|
|
|
1209
|
|
|
1210 There are a bunch of other good additions and fixes for each
|
|
|
1211 protocol which you can read about in the ChangeLog. And, there's one
|
|
|
1212 super cool feature that everyone seems to be asking for: Buddy Icons.
|
|
|
1213 Right now you can only receive them and only in Oscar, but hey, they're
|
|
|
1214 there.
|
|
|
1215
|
|
|
1216 So that's it. Have fun with it :)
|
|
|
1217
|
|
1777
|
1218 0.11.0-pre11 (04/30/2001):
|
|
|
1219 Rob: I bought a big carton of juice today. It is now 50% empty.
|
|
|
1220 A lot of the plugins got some new options and/or improvements. I
|
|
9395
|
1221 have a headache right now, though, so I won't say much. I'll let
|
|
1777
|
1222 Eric talk :)
|
|
|
1223
|
|
1778
|
1224 Eric: I uh. I bought 72 cans of soda yesterday. It only cost $15
|
|
|
1225 or so. I figure I'll be through it in less than two weeks. A
|
|
|
1226 dollar a day on soda isn't so bad. For the fourth release in a row,
|
|
|
1227 Oscar is fixed. Isn't that exciting. Judging from history I'd say
|
|
|
1228 that it won't stay fixed long; but judging from what I know has
|
|
|
1229 changed, we shouldn't have any more troubles.
|
|
1777
|
1230
|
|
1782
|
1231 Rob: --. .- .. -- / .. ... / --. .-. . .- - --..-- / --. .- .. -- /
|
|
|
1232 .. ... / --. --- --- -.. .-.-.-
|
|
|
1233
|
|
|
1234 I don't have a headache anymore! Hooray! Eric got a good deal on those
|
|
|
1235 drinks. I bought some bananas. They're very green. Oh, and I cooked
|
|
|
1236 a steak last night. It was 16 oz. It was good.
|
|
|
1237
|
|
1715
|
1238 0.11.0-pre10 (04/13/2001):
|
|
|
1239 Rob: EEP! It's Friday the 13th!!! I think I fixed a few buggies
|
|
|
1240 in MSN and then added some new features to IRC. I have a headache
|
|
|
1241 right now, though, so I won't talk much. I think I'm going to go
|
|
|
1242 to sleep. Next release, I should have a good bit more done on
|
|
|
1243 IRC and will have made Napster more stable. Have fun!!
|
|
|
1244
|
|
1716
|
1245 Eric: There's a new protocol plugin, Zephyr. Don't use it! unless
|
|
|
1246 you know what Zephyr is, and have zhm set up correctly. Also there
|
|
|
1247 were a lot of other good bugfixes (like registering for Jabber
|
|
|
1248 accounts!) and a few neat features. In this release, Oscar is also
|
|
|
1249 working, but we'll see how long that lasts, eh?
|
|
1715
|
1250
|
|
1651
|
1251 0.11.0-pre9 (03/26/2001):
|
|
1650
|
1252 Rob: Well, looks AOL was doing something naughty earlier this
|
|
|
1253 morning. Thanks to a very nice guy named Adam Fritzler (you
|
|
|
1254 all know him from libfaim) we're now back online. Thanks,
|
|
|
1255 Adam. I'll buy you a drink sometime :-).
|
|
1641
|
1256
|
|
1636
|
1257 0.11.0-pre8 (03/23/2001):
|
|
|
1258 Eric: Oo wow :) So I guess the big news is that this release should
|
|
|
1259 help you avoid the battle between Jabber and AOL. Most protocols
|
|
|
1260 got a few good bugfixes; thanks to people who pointed them out :).
|
|
|
1261 Hopefully for the next release I'll make it so you can register a
|
|
|
1262 jabber.org account, and then you can support Jabber using Gaim.
|
|
|
1263 I think (I *think*) Oscar blocking is working now. Haha, get it?
|
|
|
1264 Oscar blocking? It took me a while to get it, too. But no, really,
|
|
|
1265 I think that the permit/deny list in Oscar might be working.
|
|
|
1266
|
|
1637
|
1267 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had
|
|
|
1268 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next
|
|
|
1269 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta --
|
|
|
1270 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar
|
|
|
1271 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on
|
|
|
1272 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire.
|
|
|
1273 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one
|
|
|
1274 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-).
|
|
|
1275
|
|
|
1276 ** Good luck to the Jabber guys in getting this resolved **
|
|
|

1636
|
1279 0.11.0-pre7 (03/16/2001):
|
|
1602
|
1280 Rob: Hey! I finally rewrote the MSN plugin. Sorry, I'm just
|
|
|
1281 a lazy code whore sometimes, heheh. It pretty much has the same
|
|
|
1282 functionality as before with the exception of instability. I
|
|
|
1283 didn't really like that feature very much so I removed it. I hope
|
|
|
1284 you guys don't mind too terribly much ;-).
|
|
|
1285
|
|
1605
|
1286 Eric: In this week's installment of gaim you'll find a new Yahoo!
|
|
|
1287 library and an option to have all conversations in one window,
|
|
|
1288 in addition to numerous bug fixes and other improvements. Don't
|
|
|
1289 forget to send us your feedback. If there's something you want
|
|
|
1290 added, changed, or fixed, head over to our SourceForge page at
|
|
|
1291 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ and tells us about it.
|
|
|
1292
|
|
1602
|
1293
|
|
1538
|
1294 0.11.0-pre6 (03/06/2001):
|
|
1540
|
1295 Eric: Yay! I get to go first!
|
|
|
1296
|
|
|
1297 The biggest change in this release is the TODO file. Lots of things
|
|
|
1298 got added. There's going to be a lot of prereleases. Please help.
|
|
|
1299 Other than that it's mostly just a lot of bugfixes. Oscar got a few
|
|
|
1300 new features. Head on over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim
|
|
|
1301 and tell us what you'd like to see in gaim. We've gotten a lot of
|
|
|
1302 great requests so far, thanks.
|
|
|
1303
|
|
|
1304 I think I like releasing every week.
|
|
1538
|
1305
|
|
1541
|
1306 Rob: I've been bad so Eric got to go first. The biggest change
|
|
|
1307 In this release is the NEWS file. It's the only thing I contributed
|
|
|
1308 to! heh, just kidding. This is a bug fix release, as Eric said.
|
|
|
1309 Next release will contain my newly rewritten MSN plugin. You guys
|
|
|
1310 should be happy with it :).
|
|
|
1311
|
|
|
1312 Oh yeah, TUCAN rocks :) Oh yeah, Eric rocks too.
|
|
|
1313
|
|
|
1314
|
|
1513
|
1315 0.11.0-pre5 (02/26/2001):
|
|
1495
|
1316 Rob: Yeah, I promise this is the last pre-release :-D. That seems
|
|
|
1317 to be a pretty common saying around here, huh? Well, I must first
|
|
|
1318 appologize. The protocols that I was working on really should be
|
|
|
1319 much more developed at this point -- they should be completed,
|
|
|
1320 actually. Unfortunately, my real life job (yes, I have one hehe) got
|
|
|
1321 a little too busy and ate up all of my free time. I promise that
|
|
|
1322 things will get better now :).
|
|
1386
|
1323
|
|
1501
|
1324 Eric: I don't promise that this is the last pre-release. :) But
|
|
|
1325 hopefully releases can start coming more often than once every two
|
|
|
1326 months. I don't really have much else to say. It's been a slow
|
|
|
1327 couple of months.
|
|
|
1328
|
|
1510
|
1329 Rob: I promise to hack gaim again. Please don't hate me.
|
|
|
1330
|
|
1362
|
1331 0.11.0-pre4:
|
|
1291
|
1332 Rob: HOORAY FOR DISNEYLAND!
|
|
|
1333
|
|
1362
|
1334 Eric: One more prerelease. I'm actually starting to think these
|
|
|
1335 prereleases are a good idea; a lot of people reported a lot of
|
|
|
1336 bugs in pre3 and most of them are fixed now. Also, it helps with
|
|
|
1337 the whole release early-release often philosophy.
|
|
|
1338
|
|
|
1339 The big news in this prerelease is two more protocols: Jabber and
|
|
|
1340 Napster. Both of them don't have any of the features that make
|
|
|
1341 these services cool, yet. You can't use the transports in Jabber
|
|
|
1342 and you can't download file in Napster. But you will be able to,
|
|
|
1343 soon :)
|
|
|
1344
|
|
|
1345 Rob and I are going on vacation starting today until after New
|
|
|
1346 Year's, which is a lot of the reason we wanted to get this release
|
|
|
1347 out; it's much improved over pre3. Happy Holidays everyone.
|
|
|
1348
|
|
1289
|
1349 0.11.0-pre3 (12/15/2000):
|
|
|
1350 Rob: Well, I hadn't initially planned on an 0.11.0pre3 but it
|
|
|
1351 looks like it was needed. That's not necessarially a bad thing,
|
|
|
1352 mind you. It just means you get to see more goodies!
|
|
|
1353
|
|
|
1354 This release includes some other fun features. See the ChangeLog
|
|
|
1355 for more information. Also found in this wonderful release is
|
|
|
1356 an MSN plugin. For all of you who have been holding onto Windows
|
|
|
1357 simply because you have friends on MSN Messenger that you don't want
|
|
|
1358 to leave, this plugin is for you! :)
|
|
1203
|
1359
|
|
1337
|
1360 Guys, make sure you send us bug reports; preferably on the
|
|
|
1361 SourceForge bug report forum at
|
|
|
1362 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/. This will allow both
|
|
|
1363 Eric and I to handle the bugs and will prevent either one of us
|
|
|
1364 from losing the bug reports that are sent via AIM :-)
|
|
|
1365
|
|
1290
|
1366 Eric: Hey everybody, Rob and I really want to hear what you guys want
|
|
|
1367 to see in gaim. Head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim and
|
|
|
1368 leave a message in the Open Discussion forum. We've gotten a lot of
|
|
|
1369 good ideas so far (most of them didn't make it into this release,
|
|
|
1370 unfortunately).
|
|
|
1371
|
|
|
1372 If any of you want to test out your mad coding skills, I can think of
|
|
|
1373 a few projects that would be incredibly useful. Send me or Rob an IM
|
|
|
1374 and we'll let you know how you can help. And don't forget to read the
|
|
|
1375 HACKING file to see how gaim's put together.
|
|
|
1376
|
|
|
1377 This is hopefully going to be the last prerelease; now that all the
|
|
|
1378 protocols that we're going to be doing for 0.11.0 are available it's
|
|
|
1379 mostly just going to be hacking on them and getting them in usable
|
|
|
1380 condition before the final release. Don't forget to send us bug
|
|
|
1381 reports ;)
|
|
1289
|
1382
|
|
|
1383 0.11.0-pre2 (12/04/2000):
|
|
1199
|
1384 Rob: I messed up. Oh well, it's fixed.
|
|
|
1385
|
|
1289
|
1386 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000):
|
|
1199
|
1387 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1
|
|
|
1388 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release!
|
|
|
1389 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs,
|
|
|
1390 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/
|
|
1195
|
1391
|
|
|
1392 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease.
|
|
1192
|
1393
|
|
1199
|
1394 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full
|
|
|
1395 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be
|
|
|
1396 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me
|
|
|
1397 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much
|
|
|
1398 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible!
|

1405 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the
|
|
|
1406 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to
|
|
|
1407 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It
|
|
|
1408 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So,
|
|
|
1409 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new
|
|
|
1410 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new
|
|
|
1411 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that
|
|
|
1412 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still
|
|
|
1413 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.)
|
|
1193
|
1414
|
|
1199
|
1415 Lots of people have been very generous and contributed a lot of
|
|
|
1416 time and effort to writing some really nice patches for gaim since
|
|
|
1417 the last release. To all of you, a big thanks.

1424 Rob: What do you want me to say for yours?
|
|
|
1425 Eric: What happened since the last release?
|
|
|
1426 Rob: You got DSL.
|
|
|
1427 Eric: Oh yeah, I'm more available now.
|
|
|
1428 Rob: On a more serious note, this is just a quick release
|
|
|
1429 to hold everyone over. Look for some very awesome things
|
|
|
1430 coming in the next version. I can't say what, just yet,
|
|
|
1431 but what I can say is, Yay! For Gaim!

1434
|
|
|
1435 Rob: Hi Hi Hi! Yet another gaim release pushed out the door
|
|
|
1436 for you guys. I hope you all enjoy it. There was a few minor
|
|
|
1437 issues cleared up in this version as well as the repair of
|
|
|
1438 OSCAR support. Hopefully we won't run into the same problem
|
|
|
1439 as before. Oh well ;-). There's also a few small extra goodies
|
|
|
1440 in here for you guys just check out the Change Log. I hope you all
|
|
|
1441 enjoy and take care!
|
|

1442
|
|
920
|
1443 Eric: Wanna know what the Oscar problem was? You'll laugh. 2 bytes.
|
|
|
1444 The fix was changing 0x07da to 0x0686. Anyway, aside from the fix
|
|
|
1445 for that, there are a couple other good things. Beware of DSL nazis.
|
|
|
1446 They won't give you service until 6 weeks after you order it. So um,
|
|
|
1447 yeah.

|
1449 0.10.0 (09/11/2000):
|
|
|
1450 Rob: Well peoples, I know that it's been a while since our
|
|
|
1451 last release. Here we go. Some brand spankin' new interfaces
|
|
|
1452 for you guys to oogle at. I hope you all enjoy it. Hopefully
|
|
|
1453 our next release won't take as long to finish up. Real life
|
|
|
1454 kind of crept up on Eric and I and took up a lot of our times.
|
|
|
1455 Life sucks that way sometimes. Anyways, we're back and all
|
|
|
1456 is well. Thanks for hanging in there guys and we hope
|
|
|
1457 you enjoy it!
|
|

1459 Eric: LWE was so cool. Rob and I met up there, we had a blast. But I
|
|
|
1460 only got to go for one day and Rob got to go for three. Lucky bastard.
|
|
|
1461 It's been so long since the last release that I don't even remember
|
|
|
1462 what's changed. But all of it is good :) Like Rob said, all kinds of
|
|
|
1463 new UI stuff. I think there are some new features in there too. Now
|
|
|
1464 I'm headed back to school so I'll have more time to hack gaim (isn't
|
|
|
1465 that supposed to be the reverse?), just as soon as I get my internet
|
|
|
1466 connection back >:-/ .
|
|
|
1467
|
|
881
|
1468 Rob: Oh yeah, some of our pixmaps may need a little work. We took
|
|
|
1469 a lot of them from the Gnome Stock icons. If anyone could do some
|
|
|
1470 custom ones that stay within the 24x24 boundary and keep the same
|
|
|
1471 idea and feel as the gnome icons then we would be more than happy
|
|
|
1472 to use them. Thanks much!! Viva la LWE.

|
1475 0.9.20 (07/14/2000):
|
|
468
|
1476 Rob: Well, guys, I hope you enjoy this version. I've done quite a bit
|
|
|
1477 of work to the user interface. It's still not in the state that I
|
|
|
1478 would like it to be, though. Over the next few versions you will
|
|
|
1479 notice a few more interface changes as we try to bring a more
|
|
2536
|
1480 professional look to Gaim. As always, we will stay true to our
|
|
468
|
1481 pimpin' penguin atittude.
|
|
|
1482
|
|
493
|
1483 Eric: While Rob's been busy making things pretty, I've been busy
|
|
|
1484 making things work :). The chat and IM windows got merged, which
|
|
|
1485 means that they both have the same features (notably, IM has /me
|
|
|
1486 and chat has font/color dialogs and smileys). Also smileys should
|
|
|
1487 work better in general now (thanks fflew).
|
|
496
|
1488
|
|
|
1489 Rob: By the way, what Eric is saying is that he's smart and I'm
|
|
|
1490 not and that he does all of the work and I sit on my butt all
|
|
|
1491 day and claim to do work. WOOO! Just kidding, brother :-P

|
1499 All of that nonsense aside, there are a few things that DIDN'T happen
|
|
|
1500 in this version of gaim. The user interface changes will wait until
|
|
|
1501 the 0.9.20 release. We've decided to turn 0.9.19 into a "new feature
|
|
|
1502 and major bug fix" release. All/Most major bugs should be worked out
|
|
|
1503 now. We're sorry about the problem of segfaulting when your buddylist
|
|
|
1504 stored on the server was null. Oops! We won't let it happen again,
|
|
|
1505 we promise.
|
|
|
1506
|
|
383
|
1507 Eric: Lots of good changes in this one, including locale support. Chat
|
|
|
1508 had a lot of things done to it, but it's still not finished. The UI
|
|
|
1509 didn't get the overhaul we were planning, but we wanted to get a few
|
|
|
1510 bugfixes out.
|
|
|
1511
|
|
|
1512 Lemme say something about reporting bugs. Please do. Please try to give
|
|
|
1513 as much information as you can. But regardless of how much information
|
|
|
1514 you give, please be POLITE. If you tell us our software is crap then
|
|
|
1515 we're probably not going to respond well.
|
|
384
|
1516
|
|
|
1517 Rob: Before I close up and say goodnight, I'd like to say that I
|
|
|
1518 agree with Eric. Reporting problems and/or helpful criticism in
|
|
|
1519 a polite manner always yields the best results. Peace all, and
|
|
|
1520 happy hacking.

|
1522 0.9.18 (06/02/2000):
|
|
|
1523 Rob: Talk about release early, release often - sheesh! We're going
|
|
2536
|
1524 insane. Ya know, I'm not too happy with the Gaim UI. I dont know
|
|
320
|
1525 how the rest of you feel but it's time for a nice overhaul. In the
|
|
|
1526 next few days I'll be sitting down with some of my friends and coming
|
|
|
1527 up with an improved interface. I hope you all enjoy it. It'll
|
|
|
1528 include better looking dialogs, icons, sounds (hopefully lol), etc.
|
|
|
1529
|
|
|
1530 And -- for your random silly message of the day --
|
|
|
1531
|
|
|
1532 "Beans and Franks, Beans and Franks, Wine And Beer, Have No Fear!
|
|
|
1533 I can sing! I can dance! I have a penguin in my pants!"

|
|
320
|
1536
|
|
321
|
1537 Eric: I've had less sleep than Rob, I can guarantee you that. There's
|
|
|
1538 actually a lot going on in this release, despite 2 releases 2 days ago.
|
|
|
1539 Don't ask me how; I think the elves had something to do with it.
|
|
|
1540
|
|
323
|
1541 Oscar support is almost to the point where I'm considering removing
|
|
|
1542 the 'experimental' label from configure. For those of you brave enough
|
|
|
1543 to try it, I'd like feedback. (And if you happen to write a patch to
|
|
|
1544 fix some of the stuff that would be really cool too.) Hopefully for the
|
|
|
1545 next release, in addition to the cool new UI, Gaim/Faim will be able to
|
|
|
1546 do nearly everything Gaim/TOC can do. (Big things coming in 0.9.19, I
|
|
|
1547 can feel it....)
|
|
|
1548
|
|
|
1549 And just remember, you *can* have too many gummi candies. Especially if
|
|
|
1550 you eat nearly a whole kilo of them. Believe me. I know. But the gummi
|
|
|
1551 cherries are damn good.
|
|

|
1553 0.9.17 (05/31/2000):
|
|
293
|
1554 Rob: I am an e-mail fiend!
|
|
|
1555 (after receiving 60 emails within a 5 minute period about a problem
|
|
|
1556 and responding to all of them immediately)
|
|
|
1557
|
|
295
|
1558 I am stupid.
|
|
|
1559
|
|
296
|
1560 Eric: Heh heh. 2 releases in one day. I'm impressed. Maybe one of these
|
|
|
1561 times we'll actually get some of it right ;) Anyway, yeah. Just bug fixes in
|
|
|
1562 this one.
|
|
295
|
1563
|
|
9395
|
1564 Rob: Yeah, we wouldn't be ourselves if we released it once and got it
|
|
|
1565 right, would we? :-)

1566

1567 0.9.16:

1568 Rob: Blah Blah Blah.
|
|
222
|
1569
|
|
292
|
1570 Eric: Looks like Rob didn't have much to say, so I'll write something
|
|
|
1571 instead :)
|
|
|
1572
|
|
|
1573 There's a few good things in this release, the most important of them
|
|
|
1574 being: Better proxy support, of course. Oh yeah, and you can sign on now,
|
|
|
1575 so that's a good thing too. There's a few more good things going on in this
|
|
|
1576 release, so check out the ChangeLog.
|
|
|
1577
|
|
|
1578 Play nicely, and we'll keep hacking away at it.
|

1582 0.9.15:

219
|
1583 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time.
|
|
|
1584 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just
|
|
|
1585 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty
|
|
|
1586 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now.
|
|
|
1587
|
|
|
1588 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's
|
|
|
1589 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been
|
|
|
1590 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as
|
|
|
1591 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet
|
|
|
1592 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at:
|
|
|
1593 http://www.marko.net/gaim
|
|
|
1594
|
|
|
1595 Thanks much!

1598 0.9.14:
|
|
104
|
1599 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with
|
|
|
1600 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy
|
|
|
1601 hacking!

|

|
1603 0.9.13:
|
|
69
|
1604 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look
|
|
|
1605 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be
|
|
|
1606 released very soon now.
|
|
56
|
1607
|
|
71
|
1608 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check
|
|
|
1609 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting
|
|
|
1610 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any
|
|
|
1611 problems).

1613 0.9.12:

|
1614 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version.
|
|
|
1615 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever
|
|
|
1616 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been
|
|
|
1617 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp
|
|
|
1618 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been
|
|
|
1619 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :).
|
|
|
1620 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud)
|
|
|
1621 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving.
|
|
|
1622 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive
|
|
|
1623 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon.

1626 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee!
|
|
|
1627 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at
|
|
2536
|
1628 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc
|
|
0
|
1629 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font
|
|
|
1630 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it
|
|
|
1631 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're
|
|
|
1632 not plumbers! -- rob

|
1634 ** Extra special update **
|
|
|
1635
|
|
|
1636 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California,
|
|
|
1637 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent
|
|
|
1638 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue
|
|
|
1639 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in
|
|
|
1640 the project. Sorry about that, guys :)
|
|
|
1641
|
|
|
1642 0.9.10:
|
|
|
1643 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who
|
|
|
1644 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each
|
|
|
1645 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet ..
|
|
|
1646 Send us beer. We'll do better :)
|
|
|
1647
|
|
|
1648 0.9.9:
|
|
|
1649 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some
|
|
2536
|
1650 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It
|
|
0
|
1651 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for
|
|
|
1652 you guys!
|
|
|
1653 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a
|
|
|
1654 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group
|
|
|
1655 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont
|
|
|
1656 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast
|
|
|
1657 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out.
|
|
|
1658 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random
|
|
|
1659 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :)
|
|
|
1660
|
|
|
1661 0.9.8:
|
|
|
1662 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new
|
|
|
1663 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few
|
|
|
1664 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da*
|
|
|
1665 HTTP proxy support.
|
|
|
1666 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing
|
|
|
1667 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love
|
|
|
1668 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful
|
|
|
1669 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we
|
|
|
1670 will take a couple of quick snapshots.
|
|
2536
|
1671 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we
|
|
0
|
1672 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh
|
|
|
1673 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things.
|
|
|
1674 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the
|
|
|
1675 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he
|
|
|
1676 wasn't feeling very well at the time).
|
|
|
1677 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru!
|
|
|
1678 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that
|
|
|
1679 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am
|
|
|
1680 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though.
|
|
|
1681 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy!
|
|
|
1682 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website.
|
|
|
1683 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you

1713 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new

1714 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce
|
|
|
1715 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win.
|
|
|
1716 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I
|
|
|
1717 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I

|
