5409 | 4 Rob: Wow, so, what can I say? I've been rather AWOL for the past few |
5 releases. However, that's okay. Work has been pretty friggin hec- | |
6 tic, so, that's my excuse. Work is finally going to be slowing down | |
7 some. I plan to be doing more Gaim work. That makes me happy. That | |
8 makes you happy. That makes us all happy. Now, I just need to | |
9 finish rebuilding my car's engine. Engine rebuilds put the FU in | |
10 fun! | |

12 Sean: Yay! School is finally over. I have to give tons of cherry- | |
13 flavored props to everyone whose been helping out while I stayed away | |
14 from Gaim to keep myself from failing again, especially Christian and | |
15 Nathan. | |
16 | |
5404 | 17 Luke: Okay, this is NOT a bug fix release, at least for those of you |
18 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
19 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
20 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
21 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |
22 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-) | |

5410 | 44 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
45 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
46 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
47 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
48 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
49 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
50 the next release. Really. ;-) | |
51 | |
5403 | 52 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 53 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
54 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
55 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
56 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
57 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

5196 | 66 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a couple |
67 bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much needed at | |
68 that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been busy. | |
69 Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
70 | |
5197 | 71 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
72 my Pop-tarts now. | |
73 | |
5198 | 74 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this release, |
75 and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports XHTML-IM. In | |
76 plain english, this means that you can now format your jabber messages, | |
77 and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML still needs some | |
78 work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that will come in time. | |
79 That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted "I was hacking on Gaim" | |
80 as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
81 | |
5058 | 82 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 83 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
84 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
85 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
86 faucet. It drips all night. | |
87 | |
5073 | 88 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) but |
89 not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything since | |
90 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from Dave Camp | |
5079 | 91 is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and thanks to |
92 everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 93 |
5058 | 94 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
95 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
96 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
97 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
98 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

5076 | 106 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a few |
107 patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The biggest | |
108 thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having that fixed | |
5079 | 109 will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases people, we want |
110 to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 111 |

5023 | 117 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
118 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
119 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
120 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
121 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
122 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
123 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
124 | |
5024 | 125 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
126 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
127 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
128 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
129 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
130 enjoy! :) | |
131 | |
5025 | 132 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
133 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
134 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

153 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 154 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
155 | |
3335 | 156 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
157 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
158 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
159 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
160 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 161 computer works again, you have my word* |

3242 | 167 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
168 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
169 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
170 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
171 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 172 |
3243 | 173 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
174 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
175 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
176 | |

3173 | 180 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 181 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
182 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
183 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
184 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
185 our minds ;-). | |
186 | |
3179 | 187 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
188 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
189 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
190 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 191 |
3144 | 192 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
193 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
194 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
195 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
196 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
197 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
198 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
199 annoying style problem. | |
200 | |
201 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
202 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
203 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
204 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
205 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
206 future. | |
3114 | 207 |
3113 | 208 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
209 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
210 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
211 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
212 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
213 | |
3110 | 214 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
215 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
216 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 217 |
3053 | 218 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
219 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
220 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
221 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
222 | |
3054 | 223 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
224 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
225 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
226 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

233 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
234 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
235 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
236 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
237 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
238 notification too. Hooray! | |

243 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
244 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
245 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |

249 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
250 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
251 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
252 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
253 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
254 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
255 next release ;) | |

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

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

1289 | 612 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 613 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
614 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
615 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
616 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 617 |
618 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 619 |
1199 | 620 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
621 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
622 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
623 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
624 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 625 |
1195 | 626 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |

1195 | 631 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
632 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
633 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
634 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
635 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
636 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
637 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
638 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
639 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 808 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
809 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
810 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
811 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
812 | |
813 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
814 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
815 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
816 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
817 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
818 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
819 | |
820 Thanks much! | |
821 | |
170 | 822 |
76 | 823 0.9.14: |
104 | 824 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
825 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
826 hacking! | |
76 | 827 |
56 | 828 0.9.13: |
69 | 829 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
830 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
831 released very soon now. | |
56 | 832 |
71 | 833 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
834 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
835 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
836 problems). | |
837 | |
7 | 838 0.9.12: |
25 | 839 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
840 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
841 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
842 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
843 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
844 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
845 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
846 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
847 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
848 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

851 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |

853 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 854 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
855 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
856 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
857 not plumbers! -- rob | |
858 | |
859 ** Extra special update ** | |
860 | |
861 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
862 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
863 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
864 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
865 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
866 | |
867 0.9.10: | |
868 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
869 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
870 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
871 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
872 | |
873 0.9.9: | |
874 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

875 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 876 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
877 you guys! | |
878 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
879 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
880 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
881 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
882 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
883 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
884 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
885 | |
886 0.9.8: | |
887 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
888 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
889 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
890 HTTP proxy support. | |
891 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
892 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
893 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
894 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
895 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

896 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 897 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
898 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
899 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
900 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
901 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
902 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
903 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
904 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
905 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
906 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
907 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
908 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
909 enjoy them! :). | |
910 | |
911 0.9.7: | |
912 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
913 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
914 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
915 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
916 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
917 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
918 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
919 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
920 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
921 | |
922 0.9.6: | |
923 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
924 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
925 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
926 | |
927 0.9.5: | |
928 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
929 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
930 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
931 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
932 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
933 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
934 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
935 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
936 | |
937 0.8.0: | |
938 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
939 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
940 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
941 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
942 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
943 want to get it out there. | |
