55 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
56 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
57 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
58 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
59 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
60 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |

172 | |
1289 | 173 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 174 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
175 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
176 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
177 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 178 |
179 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 180 |
1199 | 181 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
182 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
183 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
184 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
185 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 186 |
1195 | 187 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 188 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
189 above. :) | |

1195 | 192 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
193 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
194 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
195 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
196 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
197 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
198 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
199 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
200 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 369 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
370 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
371 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
372 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
373 | |
374 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
375 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
376 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
377 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
378 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
379 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
380 | |
381 Thanks much! | |
382 | |

76 | 384 0.9.14: |
104 | 385 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
386 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
387 hacking! | |
76 | 388 |
56 | 389 0.9.13: |
69 | 390 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
391 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
392 released very soon now. | |
56 | 393 |
71 | 394 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
395 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
396 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
397 problems). | |
398 | |
7 | 399 0.9.12: |
25 | 400 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
401 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
402 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
403 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
404 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
405 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
406 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
407 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
408 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
409 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

412 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
413 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
414 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
415 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
416 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
417 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
418 not plumbers! -- rob | |
419 | |
420 ** Extra special update ** | |
421 | |
422 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
423 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
424 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
425 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
426 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
427 | |
428 0.9.10: | |
429 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
430 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
431 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
432 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
433 | |
434 0.9.9: | |
435 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
436 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
437 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
438 you guys! | |
439 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
440 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
441 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
442 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
443 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
444 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
445 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
446 | |
447 0.9.8: | |
448 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
449 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
450 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
451 HTTP proxy support. | |
452 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
453 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
454 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
455 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
456 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
457 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
458 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
459 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
460 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
461 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
462 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
463 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
464 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
465 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
466 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
467 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
468 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
469 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
470 enjoy them! :). | |
471 | |
472 0.9.7: | |
473 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
474 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
475 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
476 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
477 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
478 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
479 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
480 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
481 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
482 | |
483 0.9.6: | |
484 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
485 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
486 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
487 | |
488 0.9.5: | |
489 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
490 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
491 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
492 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
493 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
494 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
495 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
496 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
497 | |
498 0.8.0: | |
499 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
500 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
501 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
502 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
503 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
504 want to get it out there. | |
