Maintain global poitners to the clipboard selection text, with the aim of
keeping that selection from disappearing when the widget is destroyed.
The GtkTextView destructor gives up the clipboard selection, so I have to
grab it back after calling the destructor. I don't care for that hack.
I don't know how this effects Windows

10031 | 2 |
17246 | 3 2.0.1 (5/24/2007): |
4 Sean: 2.0.1! Three weeks later, as scheduled! It is so nice to have | |
5 regular, frequent, releases again! This is a bugfix release; We have | |
17248 | 6 fixed over 100 issues reported to us at http://developer.pidgin.im. |
17246 | 7 Thanks to everyone for their great work, and look for the next release |
17247 | 8 in another three weeks! |
9 | |
17248 | 10 Stu: Lots'o'fixes in this. I don't know how you users find so many |
11 things for us to fix. 24 hours in a day (sadly). 24 is divisible by the | |
12 sum of its digits and by their product. It is the smallest composite | |
13 number, the product of whose divisors is a cube. | |
17246 | 14 |
17247 | 15 Luke: I requested that we have a bug fix release, and so we have! |
16 Many, though unfortunately not all, of the reports that have been | |
17 submitted to us since 2.0.0 have been fixed now, and so you should | |
18 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |
19 want to thank the many users who have resubmitted their reports | |
20 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |
21 your report will get the attention it deserves as we continue to | |
22 work on Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple. | |
17246 | 23 |
17255 | 24 Nathan: A ton of fixes have gone into this release. The feedback |
25 we've gotten on 2.0.0 has been incredible. Hopefully we've resolved | |
26 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
27 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
28 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |
29 features in the next release! So, I promise at least one cool new | |
30 feature in the next release...you just might have to adjust your | |
31 definition of 'cool' to get it. | |

16855 | 61 Evan: One small step for bird, one giant leap for birdkind... except |
62 this is hardly one small step. A lot more has changed from Gaim 1.5.0 | |
63 than just the name. Pidgin has a *very* attractive new look, a whole | |
64 new member of the family (Finch, formerly gaim-console) has been born, | |
65 and libpurple has come into its own as a solid, full-featured library | |
66 powering the greatest IM clients around. Bugs were fixed and | |
67 features were added by the hundreds (thousands?) since the last | |
68 major release, all while improving performance and resisting feature | |
69 creep. As Luke said, a ton of thought and effort has gone into | |
70 Pidgin 2.0.0; I'm proud to have played a part. | |

98 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 99 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
100 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
101 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
102 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
103 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
104 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
105 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
106 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
107 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
108 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
109 | |
16005 | 110 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
111 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
112 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
113 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
114 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
115 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
116 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
117 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
118 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
119 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
120 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 121 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 122 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
123 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
124 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
125 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
126 | |
16694 | 127 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
128 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
129 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
130 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 212 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 213 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
214 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
215 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
216 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 217 |
12541 | 218 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
219 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
220 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
221 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
222 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
223 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
224 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
225 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
226 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

231 loader for even more plugin fun. | |

12541 | 235 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
236 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
237 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
238 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
239 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
240 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
241 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 242 |
12541 | 243 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
244 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
245 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
246 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
247 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
248 with handling of buddies. | |
249 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
250 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
251 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
252 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
253 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 254 |
12541 | 255 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
256 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
257 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
258 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
259 know what needs to be fixed. | |

12541 | 381 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
382 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
383 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
384 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
385 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
386 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
387 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 398 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
399 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
400 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
401 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
402 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
403 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
404 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |
405 Oh and welcome to the team Daniel. Of course, he was already on my | |
406 Gaim-vv team. | |

410 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |
411 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |
412 well soon, so he can get back to merging patches and fixing things. | |

433 good to see fixes from Gary coming in again too ;-). I like the | |

439 for this release, if the autopackage guys release their new version | |
440 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
441 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |
442 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 469 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
470 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
471 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
472 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
473 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
474 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
475 impact. | |
476 | |
477 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
478 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
479 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
480 | |

482 do we keep him around again? | |
483 | |
484 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |

10089 | 491 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
492 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
493 | |
494 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
495 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
496 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
497 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
498 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
499 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
500 sometime relatively soon. | |
501 | |
502 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
503 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
504 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
505 all is ready. | |
506 | |
507 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
508 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
509 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
510 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
511 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
512 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
513 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

515 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
516 | |
10034 | 517 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
518 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
519 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
520 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
521 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
522 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
523 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
524 | |
525 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
526 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
527 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
528 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
529 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
530 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
531 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
532 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

8540 | 538 |
9871 | 539 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
540 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
541 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 542 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 543 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
544 | |
9872 | 545 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
546 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
547 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
548 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
549 next time here> | |
550 | |
9873 | 551 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
552 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
553 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
554 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
555 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
556 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
557 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
558 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
559 | |
9877 | 560 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
561 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
562 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
563 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
564 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
565 | |
9880 | 566 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
567 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
568 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
569 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
570 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
571 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
572 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
573 | |
9688 | 574 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
575 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
576 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
577 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
578 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
579 test. | |

602 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
603 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
604 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
605 | |
9540 | 606 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 607 I somehow brought this upon myself. |

9542 | 609 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
610 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
611 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
612 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
613 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
614 | |
9543 | 615 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
616 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
617 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
618 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |

620 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
621 | |
9382 | 622 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
623 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
624 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
625 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
626 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
627 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
628 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 629 |
9384 | 630 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 631 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 632 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
633 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
634 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

641 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
642 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
643 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
644 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
645 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
646 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |

655 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
656 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
657 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
658 | |
9124 | 659 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 660 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
661 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
662 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
663 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
664 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
665 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
666 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
667 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
668 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
669 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
670 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
671 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
672 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
673 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
674 | |
9103 | 675 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
676 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
677 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
678 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 679 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
680 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
681 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
682 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
683 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
684 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 696 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
697 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
698 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
699 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
700 | |
9108 | 701 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 702 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
703 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
704 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
705 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
706 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 707 |
9114 | 708 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
709 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
710 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
711 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
712 | |
8762 | 713 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
714 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 715 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
716 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
717 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
718 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
719 around. | |
8762 | 720 |
8763 | 721 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
722 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
723 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
724 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
725 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
726 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
727 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
728 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
729 | |
8764 | 730 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
731 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
732 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
733 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
734 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
735 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
736 | |
8765 | 737 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
738 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
739 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
740 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
741 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
742 for the next release. | |
743 | |
744 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 754 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 755 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
756 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
757 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
758 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
759 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
760 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
761 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 762 |
8540 | 763 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
764 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
765 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
766 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
767 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 768 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
769 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
770 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
771 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
772 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
773 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 782 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |

787 grand!! | |
8542 | 788 |
8547 | 789 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
790 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
791 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
792 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
793 | |
8551 | 794 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
795 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
796 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
797 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
798 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
799 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
800 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
801 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
802 release. | |
803 | |
8553 | 804 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
805 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
806 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
807 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
808 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
809 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
810 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
811 | |
8047 | 812 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
813 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
814 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
815 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
816 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
817 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
818 | |
8049 | 819 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
820 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
821 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
822 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
823 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
824 | |
825 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
826 something _very_ neat. | |
827 | |
8050 | 828 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
829 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
830 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
831 to figure out what they were. | |

846 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

889 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
890 | |
891 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
892 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
893 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
894 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
895 | |
896 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
897 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
898 said they'll be out until late. | |
899 | |
900 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
901 | |
7593 | 902 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
903 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
904 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
905 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
906 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
907 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
908 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
909 forget what it is. | |

944 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |

946 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |

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

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

988 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
989 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
990 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
991 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
992 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
993 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
994 | |
7225 | 995 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
996 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
997 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
998 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
999 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1000 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1001 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1002 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1003 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1138 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |

1140 you. You've been warned! :-D | |

6134 | 1142 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
1143 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1144 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1145 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1146 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1147 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1148 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1149 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1150 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1151 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1152 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1153 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
1154 | |
6129 | 1155 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1156 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1157 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1158 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1159 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1160 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1161 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1162 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1163 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1187 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1188 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1189 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1190 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1191 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1192 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1193 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1194 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1195 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1196 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1197 | |
6137 | 1198 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1199 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1200 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1201 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1202 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

5555 | 1219 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1220 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1221 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1222 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1223 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1224 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1225 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1226 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1227 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

5410 | 1283 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1284 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1285 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1286 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1287 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1288 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1289 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

5403 | 1291 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1292 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1293 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1294 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1295 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1296 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

9395 | 1299 look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay, |
1300 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |
1301 authors will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is | |
1302 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell | |

9395 | 1305 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1306 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1307 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1308 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1309 |
5197 | 1310 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1311 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1312 | |
9395 | 1313 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1314 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1315 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1316 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1317 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1318 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1319 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |

5058 | 1321 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 1322 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1323 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1324 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1325 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1326 | |
9395 | 1327 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1328 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1329 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1330 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1331 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1332 |
5058 | 1333 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1334 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1335 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1336 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |

9395 | 1345 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1346 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1347 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1348 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1349 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1350 |

1357 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1358 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1359 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1360 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1361 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1362 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1363 | |
5024 | 1364 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1365 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1366 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1367 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1368 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1369 enjoy! :) | |
1370 | |
5025 | 1371 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1372 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1373 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1374 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1375 | |
9395 | 1376 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1377 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1378 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1379 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1380 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1381 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

1397 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1398 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1399 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1400 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |

1408 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1409 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1410 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1411 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1412 |
3243 | 1413 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1414 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1415 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |

1422 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1423 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1424 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1425 our minds ;-). | |
1426 | |
3179 | 1427 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1428 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1429 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1430 cooler, I promise. | |

1433 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1434 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1435 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1436 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1437 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1438 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1439 annoying style problem. | |
1440 | |
1441 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1442 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1443 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1444 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1445 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1446 future. | |

3113 | 1448 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1449 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1450 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1451 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1452 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1453 | |
3110 | 1454 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1455 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1456 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1457 |
3053 | 1458 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1459 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1460 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1461 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1462 | |
3054 | 1463 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1464 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1465 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1466 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1475 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1476 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1477 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |

1483 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1484 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1485 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1486 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1487 | |
1488 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1489 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1490 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1491 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1492 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1493 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1494 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1502 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1503 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1504 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1505 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1734 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
1735 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1736 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1737 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1738 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1289 | 1852 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 1853 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1854 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
1855 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
1856 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 1857 |
1858 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1859 |
1199 | 1860 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1861 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1862 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1863 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1864 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1865 |
1195 | 1866 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1867 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
1868 above. :) | |

1195 | 1871 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1872 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1873 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1874 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1875 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1876 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1877 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1878 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1879 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 2049 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2050 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2051 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2052 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2053 | |
2054 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2055 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2056 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2057 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2058 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
2059 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
2060 | |
2061 Thanks much! | |

76 | 2064 0.9.14: |
104 | 2065 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
2066 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
2067 hacking! | |
76 | 2068 |
56 | 2069 0.9.13: |
69 | 2070 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2071 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2072 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2073 |
71 | 2074 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2075 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2076 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2077 problems). | |
2078 | |

25 | 2080 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2081 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2082 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2083 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2084 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2085 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2086 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2087 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2088 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2089 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2094 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 2095 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2096 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2097 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2098 not plumbers! -- rob | |

2100 ** Extra special update ** | |
2101 | |
2102 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2103 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2104 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2105 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2106 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2107 | |
2108 0.9.10: | |
2109 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2110 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2111 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2112 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
2113 | |
2114 0.9.9: | |
2115 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

2116 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2117 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2118 you guys! | |
2119 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2120 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2121 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2122 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2123 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2124 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2125 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2126 | |
2127 0.9.8: | |
2128 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2129 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2130 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2131 HTTP proxy support. | |
2132 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2133 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2134 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2135 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2136 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2137 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2138 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2139 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2140 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2141 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2142 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2143 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2144 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2145 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2146 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2147 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2148 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2149 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2150 enjoy them! :). | |
2151 | |
2152 0.9.7: | |
2153 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2154 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2155 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2156 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2157 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2158 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2159 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2160 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2161 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2162 | |
2163 0.9.6: | |
2164 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2165 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2166 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2167 | |
2168 0.9.5: | |
2169 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2170 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2171 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2172 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2173 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2174 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2175 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2176 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2177 | |
2178 0.8.0: | |
2179 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2180 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2181 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2182 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2183 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2184 want to get it out there. | |
