12:10:45 EWarmenhoven: ok, the new method for chosing a font: it tries the requested font at the requested size. if it can't do that, it tries the requested font at any size. if it can't do that, it tries courier at any size, then helvetica at any size. if it can't do *that*, it tries the person's default outgoing font, if they have one. if it can't do that, it tries courier, helvetica, then times, all in their most boring form (no bold, italics, etc) at any size. if it *still* can't do that, then there's just no hope, and it segfaults. but at least there's a few more layers of protection and probability that you're going to get *something* right
12:11:43 EWarmenhoven: i don't even know that it'll segfault, but i'm pretty sure it will, since by the time you get down there, it returns NULL :-P

170 | 33 0.9.15: |
219 | 34 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
35 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
36 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
37 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
38 | |
39 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
40 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
41 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
42 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
43 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
44 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
45 | |
46 Thanks much! | |
47 | |
170 | 48 |
76 | 49 0.9.14: |
104 | 50 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
51 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
52 hacking! | |
76 | 53 |
56 | 54 0.9.13: |
69 | 55 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
56 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
57 released very soon now. | |
56 | 58 |
71 | 59 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
60 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
61 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
62 problems). | |
63 | |
7 | 64 0.9.12: |
25 | 65 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
66 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
67 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
68 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
69 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
70 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
71 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
72 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
73 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
74 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |
7 | 75 |
0 | 76 0.9.11: |
77 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
78 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
79 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
80 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
81 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
82 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
83 not plumbers! -- rob | |
84 | |
85 ** Extra special update ** | |
86 | |
87 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
88 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
89 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
90 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
91 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
92 | |
93 0.9.10: | |
94 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
95 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
96 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
97 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
98 | |
99 0.9.9: | |
100 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
101 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
102 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
103 you guys! | |
104 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
105 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
106 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
107 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
108 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
109 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
110 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
111 | |
112 0.9.8: | |
113 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
114 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
115 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
116 HTTP proxy support. | |
117 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
118 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
119 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
120 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
121 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
122 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
123 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
124 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
125 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
126 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
127 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
128 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
129 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
130 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
131 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
132 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
133 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
134 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
135 enjoy them! :). | |
136 | |
137 0.9.7: | |
138 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
139 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
140 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
141 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
142 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
143 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
144 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
145 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
146 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
147 | |
148 0.9.6: | |
149 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
150 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
151 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
152 | |
153 0.9.5: | |
154 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
155 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
156 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
157 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
158 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
159 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
160 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
161 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
162 | |
163 0.8.0: | |
164 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
165 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
166 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
167 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
168 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
169 want to get it out there. | |
