SF Patch #1598994 from lexande
Fixes SF Bug #1581999
Original Description:
"The gaim 2.0.0beta5 log reader plugin uses the "Date" XML field in MSN logs, the format of which varies between locales, leading to logs being displayed on incorrect/future dates in locales that do not use the MM/DD/YYYY format. This patch fixes the plugin to use the "DateTime" field which has YYYY-MM-DD date in all locales."
I totally Warmenhovened this patch. My approach:
"I'm using the Date, Time, and DateTime fields. If I can determine that the log matches the current timezone, it'll display 100% properly in the log viewer. If it has a reasonable offset, it'll display as the original time, sort in the right place, but not have a timezone abbreviation. If the offset is bogus or I can't parse the Date or Time field, it'll display in UTC, but still sort properly. I think this is as ideal as is possible, given the data we have to work with."
You don't have to understand this. ;)

If you plan to use gaim SVN, PLEASE read this message in its entirety! Gaim is a fast-moving project with a somewhat regular release schedule. Due to the rate of gaim development, SVN undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek to add new features. What this all boils down to is that SVN _WILL_ sometimes be broken. Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of assistance from the developers!) avoid SVN and use releases. Since releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing. If you are interested in hacking on gaim, please read README and HACKING, and take note of the issues in PROGRAMMING_NOTES. (Note that they may be somewhat out of date at times.) Win32 developers, please read README.mingw. By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. Not all parts of gaim have yet been documented, but the major subsystems are falling fast. If you have doxygen, you can use the Doxyfile in the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise (or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, conversation.h contains documentation for the entire gaim_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the gaim_account_* API. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help you! Send patches to gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or post them in the Sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim.
