| 5 2.5.2 (10/19/2008): | |
| 6 Ethan: After a bit of a struggle with our services, which put | |
| 7 this release off for an unfortunate length of time, we're | |
| 8 ready for another bugfix release for your bug-free(er?) | |
| 9 messaging pleasure. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 Sadrul: Despite our best efforts, this release got delayed by a | |
| 12 couple of weeks. But here it is! It is mostly a bug fix release, with | |
| 13 a couple of important fixes, e.g. fix for the Yahoo! disconnect | |
| 14 problem. Also, welcome our newest Crazy Patch Writer, Marcus Lundblad, | |
| 15 who, among various other fixes, has implemented custom smileys for the | |
| 16 XMPP protocol, included in this release. Enjoy! | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Stu: I guess this is the time of year for server migrations, and | |
| 19 I've just about had enough of them. Fortunately Pidgin is still fun, | |
| 20 and this release should be superb. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 John: Although our services were down for quite some time, we didn't | |
| 23 lose any data, except perhaps some mail that would have failed to make | |
| 24 it to us. Overall, the only major effect it had was to delay this | |
| 25 release far longer than we expected. Hopefully the bugfixes make you | |
| 26 happy! | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Elliott: This release took a while, but that was due to an unfortunate | |
| 29 server snafu. I didn't have much to do with it, but hopefully the new | |
| 30 servers will help us out a bit. Anyway, mostly bug-fixes this time. | |
| 31 Nothing spectacular, unless you happen to suffer from one of those bugs. | |
| 32 Oh, and don't forget, the "Has you" tooltip is back! | |
| 33 | |
| 34 2.5.1 (08/30/2008): | |
| 35 Kevin: This release is mainly a bug-fix release. It solves a few | |
| 36 known crashes and updates some of our artwork. Google's Summer of | |
| 37 code recently finished up. Some of our students are still working | |
| 38 on their branches and none have been merged into released code yet. | |
| 39 Look for some of those results to show up in Pidgin releases over the | |
| 40 coming months. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 Elliott: I'm just commenting so Kevin wouldn't be the only one in NEWS | |
| 43 and no-one else seems to want to. Anyway, there's a couple MSN login | |
| 44 fixes, so try it out. The contact list problems might still be around, | |
| 45 but you can probably find a workaround in trac. And there's a tooltip | |
| 46 fix for our AIM friends, not that I had anything to do with it (except | |
| 47 closing many many duplicate tickets). | |
| 48 | |
| 49 2.5.0 (08/17/2008): | |
| 50 Daniel: Lots of good stuff in this release. Lots of people have worked | |
| 51 very hard on the updated MSN protocol, and it's finally time to bring | |
| 52 it to the world! There are myriad bugfixes, including some important | |
| 53 ones so you should be sure to update. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 Hylke: Finally MSNP15 support. To celebrate this I refreshed a lot of | |
| 56 the smilies used in the protocol and added the long awaited indispensable | |
| 57 bunny icon. I think this is one of those releases that will make a lot | |
| 58 of users happy, especially MSN users. | |
| 59 | |
| 60 Elliott: Oh look, my first NEWS! Well anyway, with that new MSNP15 | |
| 61 support, this release is set up to be a huge success and a total flop | |
| 62 all at the same time. Here's hoping it's the "huge success" one for you. | |
| 63 Those icon changes that Hylke made, while minor, really make things look | |
| 64 a little cleaner, I think. Oh yea, did I mention that MSNP15 stuff? | |
| 65 | |
| 66 Mark: Speaking of MSNP15, we'd like to welcome Elliott Sales de Andrade | |
| 67 as a full fledged developer! He took the last few strides mushing the | |
| 68 new MSN code into shape. Then he decided that wasn't enough and started | |
| 69 doing other great stuff. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 Ka-Hing: "Reject"ing a certificate after your account is signed off is | |
| 72 not recommended. Deleting the file after you start sending it is also | |
| 73 discouraged. | |
