[gaim-migrate @ 8038] Because all the log reading and writing is abstracted, it makes it real easy to tell Gaim, "give me entire contents of the last conversation," which is useful for, say, a history.c plugin. This code is now much simpler, and it took no time at all to port it. Sort-by-log will be a bit harder. And because two people asked me within a minute of me committing it, there exists an "old log" GaimLogLogger that doesn't write logs, but can list and read them. So, you'll be able to seamlessly see your old logs along with your new logs together in the log viewer. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
