28192 | 11 Mark: Woo boy it's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code |
12 in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless | |
13 developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe | |
14 they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all | |
15 those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window. | |
16 | |
28208 | 17 Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that |
18 probably came up with tons of bugs. So I can't say I wrote anything | |
19 super-awesome, but I definitely fixed quite a few of those itty-bitty | |
20 why-didn't-this-work-this-way sort of bugs. | |

30 anything around here! (Just kidding, of course.) LOTS of new features |
27945 | 31 and a crapton of bugfixes this release. There should pretty much be |
32 something for everybody. A great example of this is the ton of Yahoo | |
33 changes that have happened thanks to our SoC student from 2008, Sulabh | |
34 Mahajan. Among his massive improvements are the ability to add MSN | |
35 buddies by adding them as "msn/user@domain.tld" and peer-to-peer file | |
36 transfers. Of course, history shows we can't please everyine, so I'm | |
37 sure I'll see a complaint or five thousand in trac. Enjoy, though! | |
38 | |
27927 | 39 Marcus: This is my first news! It's been quite a few microreleases this |
40 time, but now we're finally at 2.6.0. I suppose the most anticipated | |
41 new feature in this release is the voice and video support, thanks to | |
42 Mike's heroic work. I've managed to slip in a few features too, like | |
43 in-band bytestream file transfers as a fallback on XMPP and idle time | |
44 reporting on XMPP. Enjoy! | |

139 and I think it's well worth the wait. Mark has sunk more time into | |
140 MSN and MySpace IM this release than any sane person should be | |
141 allowed to, and I've sunk more time into patches than I care to | |

397 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |

399 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |

405 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
406 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
407 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |

477 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 478 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
479 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
480 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
481 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
482 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
483 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
484 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
485 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
486 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
487 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
488 | |
16005 | 489 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
490 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
491 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
492 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
493 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
494 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
495 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
496 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
497 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
498 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
499 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 500 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 501 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
502 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
503 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
504 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
505 | |
16694 | 506 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
507 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
508 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
509 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 591 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 592 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
593 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
594 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
595 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 596 |
12541 | 597 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
598 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
599 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
600 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
601 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
602 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
603 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
604 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
605 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 614 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
615 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
616 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
617 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
618 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
619 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
620 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 621 |
12541 | 622 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
623 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
624 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
625 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
626 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
627 with handling of buddies. | |
628 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
629 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
630 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
631 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
632 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 633 |
12541 | 634 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
635 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
636 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
637 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
638 know what needs to be fixed. | |

722 1.2.0 (3/17/2005): |
12541 | 723 Luke: Happy St. Patrick's Day all. Sean scheduled a release for |
724 today, we'll see if we can pull it off. :-) This release | |
725 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |
726 have been made to the conversation API which may affect plugin | |
727 developers. Yahoo users should also thank Tim and Bleeter for | |
728 their efforts. | |
729 | |
730 Etan: I'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time. | |
731 Jabber will allow you to unsubscribe to someone's presence | |
732 without logging out and in again, this does break seeing yourself | |
733 on your buddy list, but hopefully we'll fix that again for the | |
734 next release. | |

736 Stu: Happy St. Guinness^wPatrick's day. | |

741 debug a nasty glib 2.6 problem. Also thanks to our own Stu who | |

12541 | 744 Luke: Early release to handle the MSN and HTML crashes, as well |
745 as the glib crash. Maybe that makes up for having had a 4 week | |
746 period before the last release. This one should be the nice | |
747 stable release we meant 1.1.3 to be. Enjoy! | |

12541 | 760 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
761 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
762 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
763 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
764 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
765 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
766 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 777 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
778 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
779 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
780 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
781 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
782 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
783 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

789 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |

819 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
820 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
821 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 848 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
849 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
850 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
851 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
852 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
853 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
854 impact. | |
855 | |
856 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
857 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
858 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

861 do we keep him around again? | |

10089 | 870 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
871 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
872 | |
873 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
874 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
875 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
876 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
877 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
878 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
879 sometime relatively soon. | |
880 | |
881 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
882 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
883 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
884 all is ready. | |
885 | |
886 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
887 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
888 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
889 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
890 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
891 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
892 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
893 | |
894 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
895 | |
10034 | 896 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
897 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
898 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
899 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
900 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
901 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
902 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
903 | |
904 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
905 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
906 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
907 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
908 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
909 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
910 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
911 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9852 | 916 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 917 |
9871 | 918 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
919 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
920 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 921 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 922 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
923 | |
9872 | 924 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
925 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
926 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
927 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
928 next time here> | |
929 | |
9873 | 930 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
931 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
932 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
933 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
934 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
935 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
936 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
937 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
938 | |
9877 | 939 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
940 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
941 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
942 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
943 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
944 | |
9880 | 945 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
946 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
947 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
948 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
949 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
950 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
951 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
952 | |
9688 | 953 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
954 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
955 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
956 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
957 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
958 test. | |

990 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
991 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
992 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
993 | |
9543 | 994 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
995 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
996 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
997 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
998 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
999 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
1000 | |
9382 | 1001 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
1002 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
1003 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
1004 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
1005 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
1006 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
1007 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 1008 |
9384 | 1009 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 1010 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 1011 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
1012 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
1013 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 1019 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
1020 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
1021 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
1022 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
1023 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
1024 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
1025 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
1026 accounts. | |
9386 | 1027 |
1028 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
1029 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
1030 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
1031 | |
9390 | 1032 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
1033 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
1034 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
1035 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
1036 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
1037 | |
9124 | 1038 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 1039 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
1040 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
1041 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
1042 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
1043 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
1044 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
1045 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
1046 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
1047 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
1048 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
1049 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
1050 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
1051 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
1052 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
1053 | |
9103 | 1054 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
1055 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
1056 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
1057 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 1058 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
1059 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
1060 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
1061 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
1062 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
1063 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 1075 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
1076 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
1077 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
1078 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
1079 | |
9108 | 1080 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 1081 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
1082 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
1083 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
1084 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
1085 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 1086 |
9114 | 1087 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
1088 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
1089 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
1090 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
1091 | |
8762 | 1092 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
1093 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 1094 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
1095 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
1096 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
1097 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
1098 around. | |
8762 | 1099 |
8763 | 1100 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
1101 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
1102 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
1103 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
1104 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
1105 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
1106 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
1107 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
1108 | |
8764 | 1109 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
1110 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1111 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1112 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1113 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1114 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1115 | |
8765 | 1116 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
1117 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
1118 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
1119 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
1120 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1121 for the next release. | |
1122 | |
1123 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8548 | 1134 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1135 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1136 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1137 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1138 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1139 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1140 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1141 |
8540 | 1142 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1143 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1144 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1145 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1146 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1147 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1148 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1149 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1150 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1151 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1152 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 1161 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
1162 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
1163 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |

8543 | 1165 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1166 grand!! | |
8542 | 1167 |
8547 | 1168 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1169 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1170 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1171 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1172 | |
8551 | 1173 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1174 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1175 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1176 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1177 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1178 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1179 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1180 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1181 release. | |
1182 | |
8553 | 1183 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1184 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1185 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1186 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1187 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1188 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1189 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1190 | |
8047 | 1191 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1192 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1193 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1194 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1195 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1196 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1197 | |
8049 | 1198 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1199 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1200 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1201 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1202 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1203 | |
1204 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1205 something _very_ neat. | |
1206 | |
8050 | 1207 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1208 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1209 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1210 to figure out what they were. | |

7635 | 1267 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
1268 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1269 | |
1270 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1271 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1272 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1273 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1274 | |
1275 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1276 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1277 said they'll be out until late. | |
1278 | |
1279 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1280 | |
7593 | 1281 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1282 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1283 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1284 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1285 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1286 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1287 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1288 forget what it is. | |

1322 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
1323 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
1324 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
1325 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
1326 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
1327 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
1328 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
1329 | |
7397 | 1330 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |

1344 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

1346 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1347 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1348 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1349 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1350 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1351 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1352 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

1367 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1368 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1369 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1370 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1371 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1372 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1373 | |
7225 | 1374 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1375 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1376 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1377 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1378 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1379 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1380 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1381 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1382 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1443 registration work, and put in a slight tweak to make Gaim work a | |
1444 little better with jabberd2. Next release you'll all see what I've | |
1445 been spending my time on, but for now enjoy the fruits of everyone | |
1446 else's labor. | |
1447 | |
6681 | 1448 Mark: I've been really busy with other stuff, but I've spent my |
1449 Gaim-time on working towards a more formal translation process. | |
1450 Hopefully this will result in Gaim shipping with more complete | |
1451 translation files. Also, all our awesome translators are mentioned | |
1452 in the about window now. | |

1522 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1523 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1524 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1525 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1526 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1527 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1528 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1529 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1530 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1531 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1532 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |

1535 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1536 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1537 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1538 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1539 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1540 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1541 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1542 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1566 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1567 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1568 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1569 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1570 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1571 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1572 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1573 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1574 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1575 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1600 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1601 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1602 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1603 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1604 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

1636 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1637 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1638 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1639 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |

5410 | 1662 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1663 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1664 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1665 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1666 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1667 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1668 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

1672 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1673 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1674 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |

9395 | 1684 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1685 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1686 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1687 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |

1690 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1691 | |
9395 | 1692 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1693 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1694 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1695 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1696 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1697 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |

1702 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1703 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1704 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1705 | |
9395 | 1706 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1707 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1708 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1709 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |

1726 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |

1744 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1745 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1746 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1747 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1748 enjoy! :) | |

1758 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |

1801 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1802 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1803 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1804 our minds ;-). | |
1805 | |

1807 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1808 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1809 cooler, I promise. | |

1813 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1814 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1815 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1816 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1817 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1818 annoying style problem. | |
1819 | |
1820 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1821 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1822 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1823 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |

1828 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1829 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1830 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1831 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1832 | |
3110 | 1833 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1834 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1835 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1840 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1841 | |
3054 | 1842 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1843 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1844 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |

1862 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1863 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1864 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1865 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1866 | |
1867 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1868 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1869 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1870 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1871 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1872 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1873 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1874 next release ;) | |

1881 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1882 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1883 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1884 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2114 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
2115 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
2116 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
2117 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

2201 an MSN plugin. For all of you who have been holding onto Windows | |
2202 simply because you have friends on MSN Messenger that you don't want | |
2203 to leave, this plugin is for you! :) | |

1337 | 2205 Guys, make sure you send us bug reports; preferably on the |
2206 SourceForge bug report forum at | |
2207 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/. This will allow both | |
2208 Eric and I to handle the bugs and will prevent either one of us | |
2209 from losing the bug reports that are sent via AIM :-) | |

1289 | 2231 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 2232 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2233 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
2234 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
2235 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 2236 |
2237 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2238 |
1199 | 2239 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2240 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2241 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2242 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2243 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2244 |
1195 | 2245 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2246 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
2247 above. :) | |

1195 | 2250 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2251 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2252 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2253 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2254 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2255 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2256 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2257 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2258 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 2428 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2429 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2430 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2431 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2432 | |
2433 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2434 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2435 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2436 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2437 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
2438 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
2439 | |
2440 Thanks much! | |

76 | 2443 0.9.14: |
104 | 2444 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
2445 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
2446 hacking! | |
76 | 2447 |
56 | 2448 0.9.13: |
69 | 2449 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2450 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2451 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2452 |
71 | 2453 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2454 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2455 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2456 problems). | |
2457 | |
7 | 2458 0.9.12: |
25 | 2459 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2460 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2461 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2462 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2463 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2464 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2465 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2466 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2467 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2468 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2473 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 2474 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2475 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2476 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2477 not plumbers! -- rob | |

2479 ** Extra special update ** | |
2480 | |
2481 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2482 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2483 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2484 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2485 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2486 | |
2487 0.9.10: | |
2488 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2489 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2490 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2491 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |

2495 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2496 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2497 you guys! | |
2498 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2499 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2500 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2501 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2502 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2503 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2504 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2505 | |
2506 0.9.8: | |
2507 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2508 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2509 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2510 HTTP proxy support. | |
2511 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2512 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2513 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2514 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2515 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2516 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2517 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2518 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2519 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2520 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2521 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2522 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2523 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2524 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2525 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2526 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2527 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2528 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2529 enjoy them! :). | |

2532 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2533 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2534 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2535 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2536 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2537 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2538 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2539 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2540 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |

2543 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2544 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2545 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2546 | |
2547 0.9.5: | |
2548 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2549 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2550 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2551 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2552 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2553 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2554 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2555 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2556 | |
2557 0.8.0: | |
2558 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2559 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2560 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2561 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2562 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2563 want to get it out there. | |
