Changes to our DNS SRV record sorting, care of Vijay Vijay Raghunathan
from Meebo.
SRV records have two fields that determine the order in which the results
should be used:
1. Priority (which we call "pref" for some reason). Records with a
lower priority will be used first.
2. Weight. Records with a higher weight are more likely to be used
first, but there is some amount of randomness. We were actually
doing this backwards and using records with lower weight first. And
we weren't randomizing. But now we are.

317 regular, frequent, releases again! This is a bugfix release; We have | |
17248 | 318 fixed over 100 issues reported to us at http://developer.pidgin.im. |
17246 | 319 Thanks to everyone for their great work, and look for the next release |

321 | |
17248 | 322 Stu: Lots'o'fixes in this. I don't know how you users find so many |
323 things for us to fix. 24 hours in a day (sadly). 24 is divisible by the | |
324 sum of its digits and by their product. It is the smallest composite | |

328 Many, though unfortunately not all, of the reports that have been | |
329 submitted to us since 2.0.0 have been fixed now, and so you should | |
330 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |
331 want to thank the many users who have resubmitted their reports | |
332 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |
333 your report will get the attention it deserves as we continue to | |
334 work on Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple. | |
17246 | 335 |
17255 | 336 Nathan: A ton of fixes have gone into this release. The feedback |
337 we've gotten on 2.0.0 has been incredible. Hopefully we've resolved | |
338 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
339 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
340 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |
341 features in the next release! So, I promise at least one cool new | |
342 feature in the next release...you just might have to adjust your | |

374 this is hardly one small step. A lot more has changed from Gaim 1.5.0 | |
375 than just the name. Pidgin has a *very* attractive new look, a whole | |
376 new member of the family (Finch, formerly gaim-console) has been born, | |
377 and libpurple has come into its own as a solid, full-featured library | |
378 powering the greatest IM clients around. Bugs were fixed and | |
379 features were added by the hundreds (thousands?) since the last | |
380 major release, all while improving performance and resisting feature | |
381 creep. As Luke said, a ton of thought and effort has gone into | |

410 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 411 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
412 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
413 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
414 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
415 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
416 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
417 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
418 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
419 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
420 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
421 | |
16005 | 422 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
423 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
424 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
425 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
426 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
427 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
428 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
429 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
430 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
431 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
432 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 433 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 434 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
435 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
436 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
437 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
438 | |
16694 | 439 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
440 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
441 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |

12541 | 525 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
526 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
527 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
528 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 529 |
12541 | 530 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
531 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
532 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
533 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
534 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
535 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
536 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
537 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
538 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 547 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
548 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
549 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
550 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
551 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
552 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
553 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 554 |
12541 | 555 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
556 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
557 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
558 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
559 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
560 with handling of buddies. | |
561 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
562 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
563 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
564 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
565 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 566 |
12541 | 567 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
568 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
569 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
570 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
571 know what needs to be fixed. | |

625 Christopher O'Brien to the Gaim team. He has integrated his work on | |
626 the Meanwhile project into Gaim, ensuring that Gaim 2.0.0 will include | |
627 Sametime support. Also, we're participating in Google's Summer of | |
628 Code, which you all should check out at | |
629 http://gaim.sourceforge.net/summerofcode/ | |

631 1.3.0 (5/10/2005): |
12541 | 632 Luke: This release fixes SILC for multiple accounts. HOWEVER, you |
633 may lose your buddy list (for SILC only) upgrading. This is | |
634 rather unavoidable as the previous code did not keep track of | |
635 which account each buddy belonged to. | |

649 with this effort. Maybe next time we can get a decent chance to fix the | |
650 problems *before* they go public to have a normal release process. | |

12541 | 656 Luke: Happy St. Patrick's Day all. Sean scheduled a release for |
657 today, we'll see if we can pull it off. :-) This release | |
658 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |
659 have been made to the conversation API which may affect plugin | |
660 developers. Yahoo users should also thank Tim and Bleeter for | |
661 their efforts. | |
662 | |
663 Etan: I'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time. | |
664 Jabber will allow you to unsubscribe to someone's presence | |
665 without logging out and in again, this does break seeing yourself | |
666 on your buddy list, but hopefully we'll fix that again for the | |
667 next release. | |

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

12541 | 693 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
694 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
695 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
696 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
697 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
698 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
699 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 710 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
711 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
712 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
713 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
714 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
715 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
716 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

10128 | 781 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
782 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
783 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
784 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
785 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
786 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
787 impact. | |
788 | |
789 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
790 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
791 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

10089 | 803 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
804 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
805 | |
806 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
807 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
808 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
809 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
810 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
811 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
812 sometime relatively soon. | |
813 | |
814 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
815 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
816 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
817 all is ready. | |
818 | |
819 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
820 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
821 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
822 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
823 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
824 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
825 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

828 | |
10034 | 829 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
830 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
831 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
832 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
833 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
834 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
835 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
836 | |
837 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
838 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
839 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
840 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
841 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
842 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
843 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |

9871 | 851 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
852 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
853 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 854 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 855 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
856 | |
9872 | 857 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
858 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
859 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
860 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
861 next time here> | |
862 | |
9873 | 863 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
864 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
865 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
866 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
867 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
868 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
869 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
870 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
871 | |
9877 | 872 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
873 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
874 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
875 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
876 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
877 | |
9880 | 878 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
879 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
880 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
881 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
882 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
883 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
884 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
885 | |
9688 | 886 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
887 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
888 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
889 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
890 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
891 test. | |

9690 | 903 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of |
904 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
905 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
906 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
907 | |
9691 | 908 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
909 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
910 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
911 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
912 | |
9537 | 913 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
914 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
915 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
916 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
917 | |
9540 | 918 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 919 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 920 |
9542 | 921 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
922 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
923 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
924 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
925 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
926 | |
9543 | 927 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
928 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
929 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
930 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
931 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
932 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
933 | |
9382 | 934 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
935 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
936 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
937 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
938 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
939 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
940 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 941 |
9384 | 942 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 943 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 944 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
945 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
946 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 952 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
953 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
954 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
955 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
956 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
957 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
958 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
959 accounts. | |
9386 | 960 |
961 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
962 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
963 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
964 | |
9390 | 965 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
966 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
967 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
968 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
969 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
970 | |
9124 | 971 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 972 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
973 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
974 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
975 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
976 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
977 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
978 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
979 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
980 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
981 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
982 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
983 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
984 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
985 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
986 | |
9103 | 987 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
988 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
989 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
990 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 991 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
992 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
993 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
994 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
995 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
996 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 1008 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
1009 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
1010 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
1011 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
1012 | |
9108 | 1013 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 1014 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
1015 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
1016 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
1017 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
1018 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 1019 |
9114 | 1020 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
1021 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
1022 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
1023 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
1024 | |
8762 | 1025 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
1026 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 1027 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
1028 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
1029 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
1030 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
1031 around. | |
8762 | 1032 |
8763 | 1033 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
1034 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
1035 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
1036 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
1037 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
1038 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
1039 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
1040 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
1041 | |
8764 | 1042 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
1043 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1044 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1045 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1046 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1047 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1048 | |
8765 | 1049 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
1050 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
1051 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
1052 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
1053 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1054 for the next release. | |
1055 | |
1056 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 1066 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 1067 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1068 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1069 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1070 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1071 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1072 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1073 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1074 |
8540 | 1075 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1076 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1077 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1078 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1079 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1080 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1081 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1082 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1083 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1084 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1085 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

1096 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 1097 |
8543 | 1098 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1099 grand!! | |
8542 | 1100 |
8547 | 1101 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1102 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1103 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1104 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1105 | |
8551 | 1106 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1107 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1108 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1109 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1110 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1111 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1112 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1113 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1114 release. | |
1115 | |
8553 | 1116 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1117 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1118 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1119 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1120 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1121 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1122 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1123 | |
8047 | 1124 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1125 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1126 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1127 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1128 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1129 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1130 | |
8049 | 1131 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1132 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1133 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1134 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1135 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1136 | |
1137 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1138 something _very_ neat. | |
1139 | |
8050 | 1140 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1141 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1142 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1143 to figure out what they were. | |

8053 | 1155 Luke: Okay, so Sean rocks and got Yahoo working again in 12 minutes. |
1156 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
1157 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
1158 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |
1159 and everyone should be happy to note that 0.75 leaks far less than | |

1201 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1202 | |
1203 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1204 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1205 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1206 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1207 | |
1208 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1209 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1210 said they'll be out until late. | |
1211 | |
1212 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1213 | |
7593 | 1214 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1215 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1216 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1217 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1218 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1219 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1220 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1221 forget what it is. | |

1256 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
1257 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
1258 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
1259 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |

1277 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

1279 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1280 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1281 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1282 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1283 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1284 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1285 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

1300 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1301 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1302 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1303 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1304 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1305 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1306 | |
7225 | 1307 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1308 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1309 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1310 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1311 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1312 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1313 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1314 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1315 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1456 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1457 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1458 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1459 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1460 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1461 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1462 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1463 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1464 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |

1469 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1470 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1471 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1472 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1473 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1474 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |

6133 | 1499 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1500 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1501 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1502 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1503 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1504 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1505 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1506 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1507 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1508 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1511 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1512 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1513 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |

5562 | 1527 Rob: I didn't do anything this release either. We're under a crunch |
1528 week at work. Friday is the end of the crunch. Hooray!! Thanks for | |
1529 all of your hard work, guys :). | |
1530 | |
5555 | 1531 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1532 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1533 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1534 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1535 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1536 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1537 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1538 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1539 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

1569 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1570 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1571 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1572 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |

5410 | 1595 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1596 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1597 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1598 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1599 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1600 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |

1606 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |

9395 | 1617 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1618 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1619 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |

9395 | 1625 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1626 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1627 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1628 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1629 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |

1636 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |

1638 | |
9395 | 1639 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1640 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |

1677 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1678 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1679 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1680 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |

1691 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |

1740 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1741 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1742 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1743 |
3144 | 1744 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1745 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1746 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1747 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1748 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1749 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1750 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1751 annoying style problem. | |
1752 | |
1753 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1754 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1755 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1756 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1757 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1758 future. | |
3114 | 1759 |
3113 | 1760 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1761 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1762 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1763 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1764 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1765 | |
3110 | 1766 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1767 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1768 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1769 |
3053 | 1770 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1771 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1772 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1773 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1774 | |
3054 | 1775 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1776 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1777 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1778 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1779 |
2993 | 1780 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
1781 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1782 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1783 | |
1784 | |
1785 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1786 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1787 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1788 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1789 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1790 notification too. Hooray! | |
1791 | |
2978 | 1792 |
2961 | 1793 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1794 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1795 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1796 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1797 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1798 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1799 | |
1800 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1801 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1802 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1803 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1804 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1805 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1806 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1807 next release ;) | |
1808 | |

1814 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1815 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1816 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1817 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1946 in the day. I have a problem though. I started cooking, invited | |
1947 a couple friends over for dinner and then took a walk to a | |
1948 24hr doughnut shop where I sat outside and talked about | |
1949 random stuff. Oh well, at least it's still before the 18th. | |

1955 Rob: \O. Howdy doodie! This release isn't coming too far behind | |
1956 the previous release but hey, what can ya say, there were a couple | |
1957 of good fixes in this one. Jabber & IRC can set / view the topics | |
1958 of chat rooms now, napster doesnt crash on bad login names and | |
1959 passwords, and the man page got a big update. | |
1960 | |
1961 Well, that's about all, folks. Next release, I hope to try to get | |
1962 group MSN chat support added as well as DCC support in the IRC | |
1963 plugin. | |

1199 | 2165 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2166 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
2167 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
2168 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 2169 |
2170 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2171 |
1199 | 2172 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2173 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2174 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2175 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2176 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2177 |
1195 | 2178 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2179 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
2180 above. :) | |

1195 | 2183 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2184 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2185 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2186 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2187 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2188 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2189 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2190 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2191 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 2361 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2362 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2363 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2364 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2365 | |
2366 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2367 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2368 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2369 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2370 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |

104 | 2377 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |

2379 hacking! | |
76 | 2380 |
56 | 2381 0.9.13: |
69 | 2382 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2383 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2384 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2385 |
71 | 2386 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2387 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2388 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2389 problems). | |

7 | 2391 0.9.12: |
25 | 2392 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2393 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2394 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2395 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2396 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2397 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2398 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2399 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2400 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2401 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2414 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2415 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2416 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |

2428 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2429 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2430 you guys! | |
2431 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2432 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2433 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2434 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2435 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2436 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2437 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

2439 0.9.8: | |
2440 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2441 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2442 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2443 HTTP proxy support. | |
2444 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2445 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2446 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2447 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2448 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2451 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2452 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2453 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2454 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2455 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2456 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2457 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2458 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2459 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |

2467 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2468 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2469 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2470 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
