[gaim-migrate @ 10088]
Ok I'm done. This started out as shx's patch to make add/remove
buddy/buddies take GaimBuddy and GaimGroup's in various places.
I think his diff was like 2000 lines and mine is like 5000. I
tried to clean up blist.c a bit and make it more uniform. There
are some more g_return_if_fail() checks. Removed some code that
was deprecated--it's probably been long enough. Removed some
#include <multi.h>'s. Make blist.xml saving happen on a timer,
like prefs.xml and accounts.xml.
Sorry if this doesn't merge cleanly with whatever you're doing.
People should really test this a lot.

libfaim pre-0.90 or so ---------------------- This is libfaim, the purpose of which is to implement as much as the AOL AIM/OSCAR protocol as possible (which should be all of it). After over two years of development, its still nowhere close. This is not a full client and never will be. libfaim only implements the routines to implement a client (ie, there's no user interface). Status ------ I would not recommend using this version of libfaim in any form yet. It's beta-quality and I know it leaks memory quite badly. It seems fairly stable, however. YMMV, YAYOR, etc. I suppose I should say regardless of that warning, that several clients use it and people use those clients on a daily basis (in particular, me). Also, you're probably reading this from a CVS version, since I haven't made a release in a very long time. The CVS version changes fairly rapidly when I'm in the mood, so a version you checked out an hour ago may be better or worse than a version you check out now. Building -------- Everything in this libfaim dist should build cleanly on any UNIX(-like) operating system. Originally developed on Linux+glibc. Past versions known to work on Linux+libc5, FreeBSD, HP/UX, Solaris, Mac OS X Server, Win32 using VC++ 98/6 and others. libfaim builds as both libfaim.a and libfaim.so. If your platform for some reason does not support dynamic libraries (eg, you get errors when building libfaim.so), you'll have to tweak the makefiles a bit to get the utils/ directory to build. Otherwise, just do a 'make'. I don't believe I use any specific features GNU make, but if something fails, make sure you have it. And bash too. Accessories ----------- In utils/, you'll find a few things extra: faimtest: very rudimentary front-end. no user interface, but does illustrate the basics of logging in and sending/recieving messages and buddy list notifications. Potential front- end authors start here. aimpasswd: utility to change an AIM password without using a full client. Note that at the time of this writing, this didn't work quite right yet. See the top of the code for latest status. License ------- libfaim is covered under my copyright under the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License, as documented in the file COPYING in the top level directory. Documentation ------------- Unfortunatly, there is not currently any documentation on the libfaim API. Use the source and utils/faimtest/faimtest.c as a reference when coding front-ends.
