It really isn't smart for us to blow away the previous install directory (we do ask nicely, but it still isn't good) if the uninstaller for the previous version fails, so now we offer the choice between "continue regardless" or "cancel installing".
It would really be ideal if we could get these translations done through gettext or something.

12527 | 31 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 32 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
33 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
34 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
35 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 36 |
12541 | 37 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
38 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
39 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
40 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
41 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
42 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
43 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
44 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
45 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

48 quite a few summer of code projects that couldn't get added into the | |
49 oldstatus branch because API changes. We also have a new mono plugin | |
50 loader for even more plugin fun. | |

12541 | 52 Richard: Thanks to all who wrote patches (big or small) for this beta. |
12509 | 53 |
12541 | 54 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
55 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
56 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
57 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
58 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
59 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
60 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 61 |
12541 | 62 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
63 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
64 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
65 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
66 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
67 with handling of buddies. | |
68 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
69 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
70 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
71 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
72 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 73 |
12541 | 74 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
75 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
76 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
77 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
78 know what needs to be fixed. | |

115 the globe for your instant messaging pleasure. Also, we have | |

12541 | 217 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
218 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
219 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
220 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
221 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
222 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
223 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |
224 Oh and welcome to the team Daniel. Of course, he was already on my | |
225 Gaim-vv team. | |

12541 | 227 Stu: Welcome Daniel! you've done some good stuff already. Felipe did some |
228 good work on MSN yet again, so you can all use the HTTP method now. I | |
229 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |
230 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |
231 well soon, so he can get back to merging patches and fixing things. | |

250 memory leaks have been fixed. Felipe also fixed a good number of | |
251 other MSN bugs. I didn't do much except apply these guys fixes. It's | |
252 good to see fixes from Gary coming in again too ;-). I like the | |

258 for this release, if the autopackage guys release their new version | |
259 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
260 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
261 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 288 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
289 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
290 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
291 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
292 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
293 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
294 impact. | |
295 | |
296 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
297 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
298 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
299 | |
300 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why | |
301 do we keep him around again? | |
302 | |
303 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |
304 anything for this release or not, probably not. Bleeter has been more | |

309 | |
10089 | 310 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
311 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
312 | |
313 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
314 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
315 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
316 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
317 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
318 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
319 sometime relatively soon. | |
320 | |
321 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
322 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
323 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
324 all is ready. | |
325 | |
326 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
327 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
328 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
329 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
330 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
331 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
332 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
333 | |
334 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
335 | |
10034 | 336 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
337 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
338 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
339 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
340 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
341 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
342 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
343 | |
344 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
345 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
346 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
347 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
348 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
349 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
350 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
351 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9872 | 355 0.82 (08/25/2004): |
9852 | 356 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 357 |
9871 | 358 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
359 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
360 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 361 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 362 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
363 | |
9872 | 364 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
365 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
366 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
367 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
368 next time here> | |
369 | |
9873 | 370 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
371 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
372 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
373 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
374 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
375 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
376 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
377 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
378 | |
9877 | 379 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
380 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
381 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
382 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
383 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
384 | |
9880 | 385 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
386 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
387 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
388 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
389 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
390 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
391 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
392 | |
9688 | 393 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
394 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
395 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
396 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
397 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
398 test. | |

421 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
422 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
423 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
424 | |
9540 | 425 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 426 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 427 |
9542 | 428 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
429 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
430 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
431 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
432 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
433 | |
9543 | 434 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
435 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
436 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
437 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
438 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
439 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
440 | |
9382 | 441 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
442 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
443 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
444 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
445 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
446 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
447 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 448 |
9384 | 449 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 450 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 451 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
452 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
453 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 459 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
460 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
461 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
462 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
463 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
464 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
465 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
466 accounts. | |
9386 | 467 |
468 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
469 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
470 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
471 | |
9390 | 472 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
473 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
474 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
475 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
476 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
477 | |
9124 | 478 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 479 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
480 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
481 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
482 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
483 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
484 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
485 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
486 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
487 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
488 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
489 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
490 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
491 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
492 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
493 | |
9103 | 494 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
495 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
496 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
497 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 498 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
499 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
500 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
501 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
502 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
503 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 515 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
516 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
517 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
518 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
519 | |
9108 | 520 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 521 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
522 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
523 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
524 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
525 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 526 |
9114 | 527 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
528 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
529 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
530 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
531 | |
8762 | 532 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
533 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 534 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
535 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
536 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
537 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
538 around. | |
8762 | 539 |
8763 | 540 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
541 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
542 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
543 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
544 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
545 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
546 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
547 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
548 | |
8764 | 549 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
550 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
551 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
552 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
553 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
554 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
555 | |
8765 | 556 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
557 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
558 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
559 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
560 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
561 for the next release. | |
562 | |
563 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 573 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 574 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
575 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
576 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
577 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
578 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
579 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
580 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 581 |
8540 | 582 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
583 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
584 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
585 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
586 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 587 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
588 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
589 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
590 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
591 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
592 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 601 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
602 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
603 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 604 |
8543 | 605 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
606 grand!! | |
8542 | 607 |
8547 | 608 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
609 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
610 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
611 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
612 | |
8551 | 613 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
614 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
615 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
616 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
617 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
618 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
619 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
620 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
621 release. | |
622 | |
8553 | 623 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
624 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
625 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
626 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
627 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
628 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
629 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
630 | |
8047 | 631 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
632 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
633 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
634 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
635 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
636 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
637 | |
8049 | 638 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
639 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
640 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
641 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
642 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
643 | |
644 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
645 something _very_ neat. | |
646 | |
8050 | 647 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
648 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
649 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
650 to figure out what they were. | |

665 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

7635 | 707 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
708 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
709 | |
710 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
711 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
712 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
713 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
714 | |
715 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
716 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
717 said they'll be out until late. | |
718 | |
719 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
720 | |
7593 | 721 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
722 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
723 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
724 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
725 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
726 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
727 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
728 forget what it is. | |

7394 | 760 Ethan: In complete defiance of history, I did something this |
761 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long | |
762 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
763 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
764 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
765 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
766 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
767 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
768 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
769 | |
7397 | 770 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |
771 bugs introduced in the last release. Registration works again, and | |
772 the next person to break it is going to suffer. I also fixed a | |
773 handfull of other little things that I can't remember. This should | |

784 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |
9395 | 785 and much progress has been made on the core/UI split. We should be done |
786 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
787 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
788 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
789 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
790 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
791 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
792 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |
793 it. Starting October 15th, the old protocol won't be supported | |

7221 | 806 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
807 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
808 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
809 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
810 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
811 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
812 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
813 | |
7225 | 814 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
815 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
816 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
817 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
818 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 819 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 820 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
821 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
822 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

950 0.65 introduced, at least the ones that most of you would otherwise hit. | |

6127 | 955 Rob: Wooo! We're finally ready for 0.65. Are you guys excited? I |
956 haven't worked on anything in this release, either. I've been | |
957 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |
958 me when it will be ready. If you ask me then I won't answer | |
959 you. You've been warned! :-D | |

6134 | 961 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
962 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
963 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
964 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
965 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
966 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
967 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
968 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
969 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
970 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
971 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
972 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
973 | |
6129 | 974 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
975 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
976 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 977 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 978 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
979 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 980 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 981 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
982 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1006 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1007 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1008 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1009 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1010 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1011 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1012 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1013 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1014 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1015 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1016 | |
6137 | 1017 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1018 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1019 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1020 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1021 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

5555 | 1038 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1039 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1040 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1041 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1042 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1043 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1044 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1045 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1046 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

5410 | 1102 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1103 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1104 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1105 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1106 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1107 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1108 the next release. Really. ;-) | |
1109 | |
5403 | 1110 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1111 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1112 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1113 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1114 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1115 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

1117 Christian: I can't remember what I did here.. Think I'll take a quick |
9395 | 1118 look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay, |
1119 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |
1120 authors will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is | |
1121 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell | |
1122 your friends. 33 Gaim users can't be wrong! | |

9395 | 1124 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1125 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1126 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1127 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1128 |
5197 | 1129 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1130 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1131 | |
9395 | 1132 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1133 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1134 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1135 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1136 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1137 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1138 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
5198 | 1139 |
5058 | 1140 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 1141 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1142 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1143 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1144 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1145 | |
9395 | 1146 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1147 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1148 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1149 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1150 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1151 |
5058 | 1152 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1153 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1154 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1155 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
1156 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

9395 | 1164 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1165 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1166 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1167 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1168 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1169 |
5078 | 1170 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
1171 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

1174 | |
5023 | 1175 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
1176 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1177 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1178 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1179 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1180 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1181 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1182 | |
5024 | 1183 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1184 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1185 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1186 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1187 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1188 enjoy! :) | |
1189 | |
5025 | 1190 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1191 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1192 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1193 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1194 | |
9395 | 1195 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1196 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1197 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1198 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1199 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1200 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

1212 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 1213 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1214 | |
3335 | 1215 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1216 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1217 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1218 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1219 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 1220 computer works again, you have my word* |

3242 | 1226 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
1227 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1228 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1229 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1230 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1231 |
3243 | 1232 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1233 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1234 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1235 | |

3173 | 1239 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1240 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1241 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1242 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1243 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1244 our minds ;-). | |
1245 | |
3179 | 1246 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1247 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1248 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1249 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1250 |
3144 | 1251 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1252 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1253 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1254 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1255 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1256 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1257 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1258 annoying style problem. | |
1259 | |
1260 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1261 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1262 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1263 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1264 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1265 future. | |
3114 | 1266 |
3113 | 1267 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1268 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1269 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1270 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1271 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1272 | |
3110 | 1273 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1274 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1275 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1276 |
3053 | 1277 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1278 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1279 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1280 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1281 | |
3054 | 1282 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1283 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1284 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1285 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1292 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1293 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1294 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1295 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1296 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1297 notification too. Hooray! | |

2961 | 1300 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1301 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1302 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1303 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1304 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1305 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1306 | |
1307 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1308 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1309 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1310 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1311 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1312 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1313 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1322 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1323 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1324 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1434 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
1435 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
1436 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |

1637 | 1552 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had |
1553 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1554 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1555 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1556 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1557 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
1558 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |

1199 | 1672 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1673 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |

1675 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |

1677 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |

1199 | 1679 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1680 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1681 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1682 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1683 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |

1195 | 1690 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1691 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1692 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1693 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1694 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1695 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1696 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1697 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1698 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

1869 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1870 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1871 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |

1873 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1874 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1875 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |

1900 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1901 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1902 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1903 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1904 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1905 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |

1908 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

1913 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 1914 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1915 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1916 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
1917 not plumbers! -- rob | |

1921 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1922 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1923 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1924 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1925 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
1926 | |
1927 0.9.10: | |
1928 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1929 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1930 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
1931 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |

1935 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1936 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1937 you guys! | |
1938 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1939 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1940 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1941 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1942 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1943 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1944 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1945 | |
1946 0.9.8: | |
1947 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1948 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1949 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1950 HTTP proxy support. | |
1951 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1952 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1953 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1954 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1955 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1956 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 1957 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
1958 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1959 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1960 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
1961 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
1962 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
1963 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1964 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
1965 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
1966 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
1967 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
1968 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
1969 enjoy them! :). | |

1971 0.9.7: | |
1972 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
1973 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
1974 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
1975 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
1976 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
1977 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
1978 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
1979 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
1980 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
1981 | |
1982 0.9.6: | |
1983 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
1984 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
1985 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
1986 | |
1987 0.9.5: | |
1988 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
1989 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
1990 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
1991 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
1992 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
1993 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
1994 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
1995 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
1996 | |
1997 0.8.0: | |
1998 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
1999 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2000 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2001 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2002 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2003 want to get it out there. | |
