10031 | 2 |
16005 | 3 2.0.0: |
4 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just | |
5 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
6 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
7 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
8 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
9 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
10 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
11 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
12 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
13 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
14 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
15 though them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done | |
16 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, | |
17 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
18 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
19 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
20 | |
15359 | 21 2.0.0beta6 (1/17/2006): |
22 Sean: Barring any seriously major new issues, we expect this to be | |
23 the final beta release before 2.0.0. This has a bunch of cool UI | |
24 changes, some Google Talk features, a bunch new plugins, and other | |
25 goodness. | |
26 | |
15362 | 27 Nathan: Beta6 rocks. That is all. |

12527 | 84 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 85 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
86 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
87 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
88 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 89 |
12541 | 90 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
91 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
92 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
93 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
94 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
95 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
96 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
97 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
98 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 107 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
108 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
109 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
110 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
111 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
112 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
113 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 114 |
12541 | 115 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
116 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
117 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
118 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
119 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
120 with handling of buddies. | |
121 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
122 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
123 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
124 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
125 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 126 |
12541 | 127 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
128 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
129 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
130 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
131 know what needs to be fixed. | |

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

215 1.2.0 (3/17/2005): |
12541 | 216 Luke: Happy St. Patrick's Day all. Sean scheduled a release for |
217 today, we'll see if we can pull it off. :-) This release | |
218 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |
219 have been made to the conversation API which may affect plugin | |
220 developers. Yahoo users should also thank Tim and Bleeter for | |
221 their efforts. | |
222 | |
223 Etan: I'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time. | |
224 Jabber will allow you to unsubscribe to someone's presence | |
225 without logging out and in again, this does break seeing yourself | |
226 on your buddy list, but hopefully we'll fix that again for the | |
227 next release. | |

12541 | 253 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
254 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
255 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
256 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
257 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
258 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
259 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

271 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
272 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
273 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
274 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
275 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
276 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

10128 | 341 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
342 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
343 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
344 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
345 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
346 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
347 impact. | |
348 | |
349 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
350 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
351 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

10089 | 363 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
364 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
365 | |
366 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
367 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
368 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
369 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
370 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
371 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
372 sometime relatively soon. | |
373 | |
374 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
375 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
376 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
377 all is ready. | |
378 | |
379 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
380 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
381 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
382 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
383 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
384 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
385 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

387 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
388 | |
10034 | 389 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
390 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
391 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
392 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
393 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
394 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
395 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
396 | |
397 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
398 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
399 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
400 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
401 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
402 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
403 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
404 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9871 | 411 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
412 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
413 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 414 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 415 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
416 | |
9872 | 417 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
418 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
419 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
420 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
421 next time here> | |
422 | |
9873 | 423 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
424 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
425 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
426 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
427 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
428 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
429 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
430 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
431 | |
9877 | 432 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
433 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
434 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
435 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
436 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
437 | |
9880 | 438 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
439 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
440 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
441 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
442 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
443 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
444 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
445 | |
9688 | 446 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
447 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
448 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
449 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
450 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
451 test. | |

466 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
467 | |
9691 | 468 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
469 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
470 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
471 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
472 | |
9537 | 473 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
474 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
475 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
476 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
477 | |
9540 | 478 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 479 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 480 |
9542 | 481 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
482 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
483 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
484 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
485 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
486 | |
9543 | 487 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
488 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
489 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
490 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
491 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
492 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
493 | |
9382 | 494 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
495 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
496 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
497 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
498 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
499 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
500 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 501 |
9384 | 502 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 503 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 504 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
505 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
506 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 512 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
513 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
514 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
515 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
516 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
517 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
518 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
519 accounts. | |
9386 | 520 |
521 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
522 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
523 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
524 | |
9390 | 525 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
526 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
527 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
528 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
529 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
530 | |
9124 | 531 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 532 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
533 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
534 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
535 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
536 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
537 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
538 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
539 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
540 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
541 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
542 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
543 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
544 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
545 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
546 | |
9103 | 547 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
548 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
549 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
550 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 551 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
552 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
553 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
554 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
555 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
556 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 568 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
569 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
570 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
571 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
572 | |
9108 | 573 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 574 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
575 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
576 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
577 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
578 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 579 |
9114 | 580 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
581 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
582 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
583 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
584 | |
8762 | 585 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
586 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 587 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
588 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
589 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
590 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
591 around. | |
8762 | 592 |
8763 | 593 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
594 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
595 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
596 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
597 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
598 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
599 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
600 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
601 | |
8764 | 602 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
603 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
604 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
605 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
606 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
607 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
608 | |
8765 | 609 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
610 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
611 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
612 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
613 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
614 for the next release. | |
615 | |
616 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 626 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 627 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
628 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
629 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
630 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
631 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
632 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
633 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 634 |
8540 | 635 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
636 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
637 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
638 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
639 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 640 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
641 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
642 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
643 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
644 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
645 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 654 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
655 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
656 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 657 |
8543 | 658 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
659 grand!! | |
8542 | 660 |
8547 | 661 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
662 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
663 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
664 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
665 | |
8551 | 666 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
667 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
668 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
669 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
670 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
671 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
672 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
673 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
674 release. | |
675 | |
8553 | 676 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
677 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
678 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
679 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
680 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
681 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
682 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
683 | |
8047 | 684 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
685 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
686 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
687 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
688 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
689 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
690 | |
8049 | 691 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
692 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
693 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
694 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
695 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
696 | |
697 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
698 something _very_ neat. | |
699 | |
8050 | 700 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
701 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
702 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
703 to figure out what they were. | |

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

7635 | 760 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
761 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
762 | |
763 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
764 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
765 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
766 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
767 | |
768 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
769 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
770 said they'll be out until late. | |
771 | |
772 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
773 | |
7593 | 774 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
775 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
776 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
777 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
778 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
779 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
780 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
781 forget what it is. | |

814 release. It had to do with IRC. If I type here for long | |
815 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
816 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
817 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
818 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
819 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
820 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |
821 who actually did something of note this release (i.e. not me)! | |
822 | |
7397 | 823 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |
824 bugs introduced in the last release. Registration works again, and | |
825 the next person to break it is going to suffer. I also fixed a | |
826 handfull of other little things that I can't remember. This should | |

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

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

860 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
861 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
862 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
863 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
864 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
865 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
866 | |
7225 | 867 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
868 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
869 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
870 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
871 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 872 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 873 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
874 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
875 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1015 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1016 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1017 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1018 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1019 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1020 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1021 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1022 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1023 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1024 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1025 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |

1028 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1029 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1030 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1031 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1032 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1033 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1034 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1035 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1059 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1060 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1061 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1062 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1063 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1064 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1065 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1066 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1067 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1068 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1072 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1073 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |

1093 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1094 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1095 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1096 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1097 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

1126 Nathan. | |

5404 | 1128 Luke: Okay, this is NOT a bug fix release, at least for those of you |
1129 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1130 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1131 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1132 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |
1133 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-) | |

5410 | 1155 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1156 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1157 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1158 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1159 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1160 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1161 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

5193 | 1164 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1165 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1166 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1167 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |

9395 | 1177 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1178 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1179 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1180 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1181 |

1183 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1184 | |
9395 | 1185 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1186 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1187 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1188 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1189 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1190 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |

1195 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1196 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1197 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1198 | |
9395 | 1199 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1200 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1201 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1202 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |

1219 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |

1231 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1232 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |

1237 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1238 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1239 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1240 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1241 enjoy! :) | |
1242 | |
5025 | 1243 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1244 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1245 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

1251 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |

1294 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1295 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1296 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1297 our minds ;-). | |
1298 | |
3179 | 1299 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1300 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1301 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1302 cooler, I promise. | |

1306 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1307 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1308 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1309 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1310 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1311 annoying style problem. | |
1312 | |
1313 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1314 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1315 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1316 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |

1322 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1323 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1324 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1325 | |
3110 | 1326 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1327 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1328 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1333 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1334 | |
3054 | 1335 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1336 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1337 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |

1361 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1362 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1363 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1364 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1365 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1366 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1374 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1375 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1376 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1377 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1488 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |

1607 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |

1609 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1610 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1289 | 1724 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 1725 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1726 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
1727 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
1728 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 1729 |
1730 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1731 |
1199 | 1732 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1733 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1734 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1735 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1736 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1737 |
1195 | 1738 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1739 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
1740 above. :) | |

1195 | 1743 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1744 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1745 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1746 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1747 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1748 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1749 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1750 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1751 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 1921 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
1922 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
1923 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
1924 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
1925 | |
1926 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
1927 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
1928 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
1929 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
1930 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
1931 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
1932 | |
1933 Thanks much! | |

76 | 1936 0.9.14: |
104 | 1937 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
1938 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
1939 hacking! | |
76 | 1940 |
56 | 1941 0.9.13: |
69 | 1942 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
1943 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
1944 released very soon now. | |
56 | 1945 |
71 | 1946 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
1947 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
1948 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
1949 problems). | |
1950 | |
7 | 1951 0.9.12: |
25 | 1952 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
1953 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
1954 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
1955 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
1956 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
1957 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
1958 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
1959 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
1960 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
1961 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

1966 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 1967 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
1968 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
1969 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |

1972 ** Extra special update ** | |
1973 | |
1974 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
1975 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
1976 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
1977 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
1978 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |

1981 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
1982 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
1983 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |

1988 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 1989 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
1990 you guys! | |
1991 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
1992 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
1993 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
1994 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
1995 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
1996 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
1997 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
1998 | |
1999 0.9.8: | |
2000 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2001 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2002 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2003 HTTP proxy support. | |
2004 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2005 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2006 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2007 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2008 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2009 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2010 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2011 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2012 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2013 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2014 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2015 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2016 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2017 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2018 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2019 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2020 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2021 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2022 enjoy them! :). | |

2025 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2026 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2027 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2028 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2029 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2030 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2031 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2032 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2033 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |

2036 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |

2038 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2039 | |
2040 0.9.5: | |
2041 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2042 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2043 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2044 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2045 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2046 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2047 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2048 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2049 | |
2050 0.8.0: | |
2051 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2052 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2053 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2054 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2055 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2056 want to get it out there. | |
