7394 | 22 Ethan: In complete defiance of history, I did something this |
23 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long | |
24 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
25 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
26 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
27 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
28 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
29 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
30 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
31 | |
7397 | 32 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |
33 bugs introduced in the last release. Registration works again, and | |
34 the next person to break it is going to suffer. I also fixed a | |
35 handfull of other little things that I can't remember. This should | |

7221 | 68 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
69 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
70 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
71 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
72 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
73 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
74 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
75 | |
7225 | 76 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
77 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
78 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
79 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
80 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 81 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 82 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
83 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
84 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |
85 Don't tell Luke. | |

219 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |

221 you. You've been warned! :-D | |

6134 | 223 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
224 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
225 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
226 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
227 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
228 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
229 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
230 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
231 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
232 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
233 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
234 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
235 | |
6129 | 236 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
237 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
238 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 239 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 240 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
241 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 242 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 243 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
244 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 268 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
269 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
270 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
271 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
272 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
273 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
274 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
275 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
276 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
277 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
278 | |
6137 | 279 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
280 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
281 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
282 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
283 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

301 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
302 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
303 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
304 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
305 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
306 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 307 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |

5410 | 364 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
365 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
366 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
367 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
368 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
369 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
370 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

5193 | 373 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
374 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
375 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
376 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
377 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

5196 | 386 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a couple |
387 bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much needed at | |
388 that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been busy. | |
389 Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
390 | |
5197 | 391 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
392 my Pop-tarts now. | |
393 | |
5198 | 394 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this release, |
395 and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports XHTML-IM. In | |
396 plain english, this means that you can now format your jabber messages, | |
397 and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML still needs some | |
398 work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that will come in time. | |
399 That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted "I was hacking on Gaim" | |
400 as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
401 | |
5058 | 402 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 403 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
404 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
405 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
406 faucet. It drips all night. | |
407 | |
5073 | 408 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) but |
409 not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything since | |
410 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from Dave Camp | |
5079 | 411 is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and thanks to |
412 everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 413 |
5058 | 414 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
415 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
416 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
417 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
418 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

5076 | 426 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a few |
427 patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The biggest | |
428 thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having that fixed | |
5079 | 429 will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases people, we want |
430 to use cvs for actual development :-). | |

438 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
439 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
440 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
441 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
442 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
443 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
444 | |
5024 | 445 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
446 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
447 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
448 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
449 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
450 enjoy! :) | |
451 | |
5025 | 452 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
453 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
454 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

473 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 474 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
475 | |
3335 | 476 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
477 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
478 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
479 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
480 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 481 computer works again, you have my word* |

3242 | 487 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
488 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
489 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
490 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
491 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 492 |
3243 | 493 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
494 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
495 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
496 | |

3173 | 500 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 501 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
502 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
503 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
504 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
505 our minds ;-). | |
506 | |
3179 | 507 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
508 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
509 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
510 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 511 |
3144 | 512 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
513 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
514 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
515 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
516 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
517 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
518 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
519 annoying style problem. | |
520 | |
521 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
522 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
523 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
524 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
525 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
526 future. | |
3114 | 527 |
3113 | 528 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
529 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
530 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
531 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
532 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
533 | |
3110 | 534 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
535 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
536 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 537 |
3053 | 538 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
539 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
540 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
541 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
542 | |
3054 | 543 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
544 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
545 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
546 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 547 |

553 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
554 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
555 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
556 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
557 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
558 notification too. Hooray! | |
559 | |
2978 | 560 |
2961 | 561 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 562 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
563 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
564 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
565 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
566 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
567 | |
568 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
569 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
570 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
571 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
572 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
573 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
574 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
575 next release ;) | |

582 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
583 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
584 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
585 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

696 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
697 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |

815 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
816 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
817 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
818 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1199 | 930 Rob: I messed up. Oh well, it's fixed. |
931 | |
1289 | 932 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 933 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
934 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
935 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
936 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 937 |
938 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 939 |
1199 | 940 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
941 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
942 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
943 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
944 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 945 |
1195 | 946 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 947 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
948 above. :) | |

1195 | 951 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
952 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
953 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
954 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
955 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
956 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
957 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
958 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
959 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

170 | 1127 0.9.15: |
219 | 1128 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
1129 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1130 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1131 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1132 | |
1133 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1134 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1135 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1136 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1137 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
1138 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
1139 | |
1140 Thanks much! | |
1141 | |

76 | 1143 0.9.14: |
104 | 1144 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
1145 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
1146 hacking! | |
76 | 1147 |
56 | 1148 0.9.13: |
69 | 1149 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
1150 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
1151 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1152 |
71 | 1153 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1154 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1155 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
1156 problems). | |
1157 | |
7 | 1158 0.9.12: |
25 | 1159 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1160 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1161 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1162 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1163 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1164 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1165 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1166 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1167 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
1168 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

0 | 1170 0.9.11: |
1171 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
1172 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |

1173 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 1174 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1175 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1176 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
1177 not plumbers! -- rob | |
1178 | |
1179 ** Extra special update ** | |
1180 | |
1181 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1182 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1183 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1184 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1185 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
1186 | |
1187 0.9.10: | |
1188 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1189 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1190 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
1191 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
1192 | |
1193 0.9.9: | |
1194 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

1195 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1196 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1197 you guys! | |
1198 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1199 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1200 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1201 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1202 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1203 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1204 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1205 | |
1206 0.9.8: | |
1207 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
1208 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
1209 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
1210 HTTP proxy support. | |
1211 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
1212 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
1213 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
1214 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
1215 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

1216 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 1217 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
1218 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
1219 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
1220 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
1221 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
1222 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
1223 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
1224 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
1225 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
1226 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
1227 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
1228 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
1229 enjoy them! :). | |
1230 | |
1231 0.9.7: | |
1232 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
1233 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
1234 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
1235 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
1236 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
1237 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
1238 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
1239 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
1240 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
1241 | |
1242 0.9.6: | |
1243 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
1244 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
1245 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
1246 | |
1247 0.9.5: | |
1248 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
1249 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
1250 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
1251 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
1252 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
1253 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
1254 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
1255 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
1256 | |
1257 0.8.0: | |
1258 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
1259 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
1260 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
1261 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
1262 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
1263 want to get it out there. | |
