382 | 10 All of that nonsense aside, there are a few things that DIDN'T happen |
11 in this version of gaim. The user interface changes will wait until | |
12 the 0.9.20 release. We've decided to turn 0.9.19 into a "new feature | |
13 and major bug fix" release. All/Most major bugs should be worked out | |
14 now. We're sorry about the problem of segfaulting when your buddylist | |
15 stored on the server was null. Oops! We won't let it happen again, | |
16 we promise. | |

34 Rob: Talk about release early, release often - sheesh! We're going | |
35 insane. Ya know, I'm not too happy with the GAIM UI. I dont know | |
36 how the rest of you feel but it's time for a nice overhaul. In the | |
37 next few days I'll be sitting down with some of my friends and coming | |
38 up with an improved interface. I hope you all enjoy it. It'll | |
39 include better looking dialogs, icons, sounds (hopefully lol), etc. | |

170 | 92 0.9.15: |
219 | 93 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
94 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
95 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
96 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
97 | |
98 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
99 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
100 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
101 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
102 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
103 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
104 | |
105 Thanks much! | |
106 | |
170 | 107 |
76 | 108 0.9.14: |
104 | 109 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
110 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
111 hacking! | |
76 | 112 |
56 | 113 0.9.13: |
69 | 114 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
115 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
116 released very soon now. | |
56 | 117 |
71 | 118 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
119 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
120 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
121 problems). | |
122 | |
7 | 123 0.9.12: |
25 | 124 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
125 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
126 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
127 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
128 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
129 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
130 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
131 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
132 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
133 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |
7 | 134 |
0 | 135 0.9.11: |
136 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
137 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
138 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
139 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
140 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
141 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
142 not plumbers! -- rob | |
143 | |
144 ** Extra special update ** | |
145 | |
146 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
147 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
148 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
149 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
150 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
151 | |
152 0.9.10: | |
153 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
154 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
155 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
156 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
157 | |
158 0.9.9: | |
159 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
160 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
161 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
162 you guys! | |
163 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
164 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
165 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
166 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
167 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
168 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
169 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
170 | |
171 0.9.8: | |
172 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
173 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
174 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
175 HTTP proxy support. | |
176 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
177 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
178 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
179 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
180 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
181 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
182 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
183 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
184 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
185 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
186 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
187 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
188 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
189 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
190 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
191 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
192 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
193 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
194 enjoy them! :). | |
195 | |
196 0.9.7: | |
197 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
198 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
199 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
200 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
201 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
202 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
203 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
204 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
205 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
206 | |
207 0.9.6: | |
208 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
209 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
210 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
211 | |
212 0.9.5: | |
213 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
214 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
215 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
216 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
217 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
218 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
219 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
220 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
221 | |
222 0.8.0: | |
223 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
224 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
225 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
226 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
227 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
228 want to get it out there. | |
