I think errdesc was meant to be used here, not errmsg. errmsg isn't
initialized and errdesc is, and errdesc makes the happy little error
box show up at the bottom of the buddy list. Fixes a crash when
attempting to register for a new account (and failing because my
phone number is invalid--maybe I have to be in South Africa?)

28551 | 11 Mark: Woo boy it's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code |
12 in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless | |
13 developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe | |
14 they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all | |
15 those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window. | |
16 | |
28567 | 17 Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that |
18 probably came up with tons of bugs. So I can't say I wrote anything | |
19 super-awesome, but I definitely fixed quite a few of those itty-bitty | |
20 why-didn't-this-work-this-way sort of bugs. | |

30 anything around here! (Just kidding, of course.) LOTS of new features |
28293 | 31 and a crapton of bugfixes this release. There should pretty much be |
32 something for everybody. A great example of this is the ton of Yahoo | |
33 changes that have happened thanks to our SoC student from 2008, Sulabh | |
34 Mahajan. Among his massive improvements are the ability to add MSN | |
35 buddies by adding them as "msn/user@domain.tld" and peer-to-peer file | |
36 transfers. Of course, history shows we can't please everyine, so I'm | |
37 sure I'll see a complaint or five thousand in trac. Enjoy, though! | |
38 | |
28274 | 39 Marcus: This is my first news! It's been quite a few microreleases this |
40 time, but now we're finally at 2.6.0. I suppose the most anticipated | |
41 new feature in this release is the voice and video support, thanks to | |
42 Mike's heroic work. I've managed to slip in a few features too, like | |
43 in-band bytestream file transfers as a fallback on XMPP and idle time | |
44 reporting on XMPP. Enjoy! | |

140 MSN and MySpace IM this release than any sane person should be | |
141 allowed to, and I've sunk more time into patches than I care to | |

477 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16699 | 478 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
479 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
480 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
481 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
482 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
483 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
484 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
485 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
486 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
487 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
488 | |
16005 | 489 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
490 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
491 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
492 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
493 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
494 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
495 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
496 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
497 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
498 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
499 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16706 | 500 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 501 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
502 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
503 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
504 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
505 | |
16703 | 506 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
507 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
508 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
509 but that's another story all together. | |

15360 | 529 Sean: Barring any seriously major new issues, we expect this to be |

12527 | 591 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 592 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
593 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
594 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
595 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 596 |
12541 | 597 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
598 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
599 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
600 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
601 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
602 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
603 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
604 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
605 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 614 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
615 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
616 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
617 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
618 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
619 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
620 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 621 |
12541 | 622 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
623 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
624 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
625 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
626 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
627 with handling of buddies. | |
628 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
629 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
630 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
631 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
632 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 633 |
12541 | 634 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
635 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
636 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
637 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
638 know what needs to be fixed. | |

722 1.2.0 (3/17/2005): |
12541 | 723 Luke: Happy St. Patrick's Day all. Sean scheduled a release for |
724 today, we'll see if we can pull it off. :-) This release | |
725 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |
726 have been made to the conversation API which may affect plugin | |
727 developers. Yahoo users should also thank Tim and Bleeter for | |
728 their efforts. | |
729 | |
730 Etan: I'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time. | |
731 Jabber will allow you to unsubscribe to someone's presence | |
732 without logging out and in again, this does break seeing yourself | |
733 on your buddy list, but hopefully we'll fix that again for the | |
734 next release. | |

741 debug a nasty glib 2.6 problem. Also thanks to our own Stu who | |
742 found and destroyed an MSN crash and an HTML parsing error | |

12541 | 744 Luke: Early release to handle the MSN and HTML crashes, as well |
745 as the glib crash. Maybe that makes up for having had a 4 week | |
746 period before the last release. This one should be the nice | |
747 stable release we meant 1.1.3 to be. Enjoy! | |

12541 | 760 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
761 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
762 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
763 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
764 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
765 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
766 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 777 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
778 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
779 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
780 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
781 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
782 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
783 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

789 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |

819 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
820 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
821 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 848 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
849 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
850 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
851 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
852 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
853 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
854 impact. | |
855 | |
856 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
857 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
858 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

10089 | 870 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
871 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
872 | |
873 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
874 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
875 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
876 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
877 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
878 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
879 sometime relatively soon. | |
880 | |
881 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
882 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
883 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
884 all is ready. | |
885 | |
886 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
887 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
888 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
889 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
890 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
891 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
892 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
893 | |
894 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
895 | |
10034 | 896 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
897 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
898 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
899 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
900 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
901 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
902 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
903 | |
904 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
905 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
906 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
907 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
908 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
909 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
910 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
911 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9852 | 916 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 917 |
9871 | 918 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
919 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
920 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 921 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 922 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
923 | |
9872 | 924 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
925 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
926 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
927 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
928 next time here> | |
929 | |
9873 | 930 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
931 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
932 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
933 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
934 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
935 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
936 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
937 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
938 | |
9877 | 939 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
940 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
941 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
942 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
943 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
944 | |
9880 | 945 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
946 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
947 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
948 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
949 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
950 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
951 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
952 | |
9688 | 953 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
954 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
955 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
956 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
957 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
958 test. | |

9542 | 988 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
989 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
990 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
991 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
992 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
993 | |
9543 | 994 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
995 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
996 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
997 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
998 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
999 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
1000 | |
9382 | 1001 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
1002 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
1003 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
1004 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
1005 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
1006 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
1007 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 1008 |
9384 | 1009 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 1010 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 1011 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
1012 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
1013 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 1019 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
1020 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
1021 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
1022 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
1023 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
1024 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
1025 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
1026 accounts. | |
9386 | 1027 |
1028 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
1029 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
1030 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
1031 | |
9390 | 1032 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
1033 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
1034 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
1035 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
1036 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
1037 | |
9124 | 1038 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 1039 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
1040 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
1041 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
1042 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
1043 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
1044 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
1045 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
1046 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
1047 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
1048 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
1049 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
1050 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
1051 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
1052 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
1053 | |
9103 | 1054 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
1055 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
1056 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
1057 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 1058 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
1059 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
1060 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
1061 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
1062 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
1063 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 1075 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
1076 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
1077 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
1078 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
1079 | |
9108 | 1080 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 1081 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
1082 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
1083 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
1084 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
1085 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 1086 |
9114 | 1087 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
1088 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
1089 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
1090 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
1091 | |
8762 | 1092 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
1093 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 1094 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
1095 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
1096 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
1097 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
1098 around. | |
8762 | 1099 |
8763 | 1100 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
1101 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
1102 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
1103 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
1104 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
1105 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
1106 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
1107 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
1108 | |
8764 | 1109 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
1110 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1111 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1112 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1113 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1114 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1115 | |
8765 | 1116 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
1117 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
1118 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
1119 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
1120 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1121 for the next release. | |
1122 | |
1123 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8548 | 1134 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1135 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1136 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1137 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1138 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1139 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1140 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1141 |
8540 | 1142 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1143 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1144 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1145 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1146 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1147 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1148 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1149 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1150 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1151 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1152 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

1163 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |

8543 | 1165 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1166 grand!! | |
8542 | 1167 |
8547 | 1168 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1169 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1170 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1171 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1172 | |
8551 | 1173 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1174 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1175 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1176 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1177 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1178 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1179 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1180 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1181 release. | |
1182 | |
8553 | 1183 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1184 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1185 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1186 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1187 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1188 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1189 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1190 | |
8047 | 1191 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1192 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1193 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1194 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1195 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1196 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1197 | |
8049 | 1198 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1199 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1200 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1201 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1202 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1203 | |
1204 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1205 something _very_ neat. | |
1206 | |
8050 | 1207 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1208 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1209 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1210 to figure out what they were. | |

1268 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1269 | |
1270 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1271 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1272 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1273 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1274 | |
1275 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1276 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1277 said they'll be out until late. | |
1278 | |
1279 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1280 | |
7593 | 1281 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1282 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1283 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1284 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1285 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1286 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1287 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1288 forget what it is. | |

1322 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
1323 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
1324 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
1325 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
1326 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
1327 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
1328 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
1329 | |
7397 | 1330 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |

1344 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

1346 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1347 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1348 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1349 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1350 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1351 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1352 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

1367 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1368 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1369 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1370 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1371 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1372 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1373 | |
7225 | 1374 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1375 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1376 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1377 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1378 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1379 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1380 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1381 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1382 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

6658 | 1442 Nathan: I didn't do much for this release, except make Jabber |
1443 registration work, and put in a slight tweak to make Gaim work a | |
1444 little better with jabberd2. Next release you'll all see what I've | |
1445 been spending my time on, but for now enjoy the fruits of everyone | |
1446 else's labor. | |
1447 | |
6681 | 1448 Mark: I've been really busy with other stuff, but I've spent my |
1449 Gaim-time on working towards a more formal translation process. | |
1450 Hopefully this will result in Gaim shipping with more complete | |
1451 translation files. Also, all our awesome translators are mentioned | |
1452 in the about window now. | |

1522 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1523 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1524 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1525 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1526 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1527 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1528 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1529 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1530 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1531 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1532 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |

6129 | 1534 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1535 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1536 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1537 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1538 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1539 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1540 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1541 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1542 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1566 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1567 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1568 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1569 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1570 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1571 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1572 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1573 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1574 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1575 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1599 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1600 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1601 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1602 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1603 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1604 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

1636 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1637 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1638 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1639 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |
1640 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-) | |

5410 | 1662 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1663 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1664 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1665 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1666 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1667 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1668 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

1672 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1673 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1674 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |

9395 | 1684 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1685 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1686 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1687 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |

1690 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1691 | |
9395 | 1692 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1693 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1694 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1695 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1696 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1697 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |

1702 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1703 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1704 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1705 | |
9395 | 1706 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1707 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1708 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1709 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |

1726 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |

1738 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1739 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |

1744 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1745 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1746 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1747 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1748 enjoy! :) | |

1758 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |

1801 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1802 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1803 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1804 our minds ;-). | |
1805 | |
3179 | 1806 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1807 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1808 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1809 cooler, I promise. | |

1813 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1814 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1815 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1816 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1817 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1818 annoying style problem. | |
1819 | |
1820 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1821 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1822 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1823 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |

1828 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1829 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1830 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1831 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1832 | |
3110 | 1833 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1834 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1835 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1840 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1841 | |
3054 | 1842 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1843 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1844 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1845 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1853 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1854 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1855 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |

1862 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1863 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1864 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1865 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1866 | |
1867 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1868 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1869 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1870 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1871 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1872 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1873 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1881 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1882 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1883 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1884 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2114 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |

2116 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |

2197 mind you. It just means you get to see more goodies! | |

2199 This release includes some other fun features. See the ChangeLog | |
2200 for more information. Also found in this wonderful release is | |
2201 an MSN plugin. For all of you who have been holding onto Windows | |
2202 simply because you have friends on MSN Messenger that you don't want | |
2203 to leave, this plugin is for you! :) | |

1337 | 2205 Guys, make sure you send us bug reports; preferably on the |
2206 SourceForge bug report forum at | |
2207 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/. This will allow both | |
2208 Eric and I to handle the bugs and will prevent either one of us | |
2209 from losing the bug reports that are sent via AIM :-) | |

1289 | 2231 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 2232 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2233 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
2234 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
2235 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 2236 |
2237 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2238 |
1199 | 2239 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2240 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2241 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2242 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2243 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2244 |
1195 | 2245 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2246 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
2247 above. :) | |

1195 | 2250 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2251 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2252 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2253 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2254 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2255 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2256 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2257 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2258 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 2428 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2429 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2430 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2431 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2432 | |
2433 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2434 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2435 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2436 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2437 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
2438 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
2439 | |
2440 Thanks much! | |

104 | 2444 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
2445 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
2446 hacking! | |
76 | 2447 |
56 | 2448 0.9.13: |
69 | 2449 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2450 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2451 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2452 |
71 | 2453 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2454 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2455 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2456 problems). | |
2457 | |
7 | 2458 0.9.12: |
25 | 2459 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2460 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2461 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2462 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2463 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2464 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2465 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2466 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2467 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2468 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2473 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 2474 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2475 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2476 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2477 not plumbers! -- rob | |

2479 ** Extra special update ** | |
2480 | |
2481 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2482 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2483 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2484 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2485 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2486 | |
2487 0.9.10: | |
2488 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2489 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2490 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2491 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |

2495 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2496 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2497 you guys! | |
2498 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2499 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2500 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2501 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2502 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2503 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2504 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2505 | |
2506 0.9.8: | |
2507 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2508 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2509 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2510 HTTP proxy support. | |
2511 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2512 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2513 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2514 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2515 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2516 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2517 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2518 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2519 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2520 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2521 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2522 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2523 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2524 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2525 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2526 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2527 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2528 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |

2532 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2533 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2534 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2535 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2536 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2537 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2538 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2539 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2540 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |

2543 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2544 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2545 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2546 | |
2547 0.9.5: | |
2548 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2549 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2550 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2551 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2552 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2553 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2554 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2555 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2556 | |
2557 0.8.0: | |
2558 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2559 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2560 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2561 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2562 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2563 want to get it out there. | |
