3 2.0.2 (6/14/2007): |
17643 | 4 Sean: Another big maintenance release. Again, about 100 tickets were |
5 resolved in this release, and they keep coming in. Lots of bug fixes, | |
6 some minor icon adjustements, hopefully we addressed some ICQ | |
7 internationalization issues, and support for Bonjour on Windows! | |
8 Our next release will be 2.1.0, and will come with some great new | |
9 features. | |

17246 | 16 2.0.1 (5/24/2007): |
17 Sean: 2.0.1! Three weeks later, as scheduled! It is so nice to have | |
18 regular, frequent, releases again! This is a bugfix release; We have | |
17248 | 19 fixed over 100 issues reported to us at http://developer.pidgin.im. |
17246 | 20 Thanks to everyone for their great work, and look for the next release |
17247 | 21 in another three weeks! |
22 | |
17248 | 23 Stu: Lots'o'fixes in this. I don't know how you users find so many |
24 things for us to fix. 24 hours in a day (sadly). 24 is divisible by the | |
25 sum of its digits and by their product. It is the smallest composite | |
26 number, the product of whose divisors is a cube. | |
17246 | 27 |
17247 | 28 Luke: I requested that we have a bug fix release, and so we have! |
29 Many, though unfortunately not all, of the reports that have been | |
30 submitted to us since 2.0.0 have been fixed now, and so you should | |
31 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |
32 want to thank the many users who have resubmitted their reports | |
33 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |
34 your report will get the attention it deserves as we continue to | |
35 work on Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple. | |
17246 | 36 |
17255 | 37 Nathan: A ton of fixes have gone into this release. The feedback |
38 we've gotten on 2.0.0 has been incredible. Hopefully we've resolved | |
39 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
40 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
41 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |
42 features in the next release! So, I promise at least one cool new | |
43 feature in the next release...you just might have to adjust your | |
44 definition of 'cool' to get it. | |

16855 | 74 Evan: One small step for bird, one giant leap for birdkind... except |
75 this is hardly one small step. A lot more has changed from Gaim 1.5.0 | |
76 than just the name. Pidgin has a *very* attractive new look, a whole | |
77 new member of the family (Finch, formerly gaim-console) has been born, | |
78 and libpurple has come into its own as a solid, full-featured library | |
79 powering the greatest IM clients around. Bugs were fixed and | |
80 features were added by the hundreds (thousands?) since the last | |
81 major release, all while improving performance and resisting feature | |
82 creep. As Luke said, a ton of thought and effort has gone into | |
83 Pidgin 2.0.0; I'm proud to have played a part. | |

111 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 112 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
113 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
114 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
115 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
116 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
117 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
118 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
119 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
120 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
121 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
122 | |
16005 | 123 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
124 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
125 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
126 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
127 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
128 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
129 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
130 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
131 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
132 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
133 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 134 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 135 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
136 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
137 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
138 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
139 | |
16694 | 140 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
141 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
142 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
143 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 225 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 226 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
227 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
228 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
229 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 230 |
12541 | 231 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
232 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
233 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
234 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
235 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
236 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
237 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
238 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
239 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 248 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
249 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
250 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
251 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
252 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
253 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
254 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 255 |
12541 | 256 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
257 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
258 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
259 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
260 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
261 with handling of buddies. | |
262 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
263 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
264 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
265 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
266 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 267 |
12541 | 268 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
269 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
270 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
271 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
272 know what needs to be fixed. | |

12541 | 378 Luke: Early release to handle the MSN and HTML crashes, as well |
379 as the glib crash. Maybe that makes up for having had a 4 week | |
380 period before the last release. This one should be the nice | |
381 stable release we meant 1.1.3 to be. Enjoy! | |

12541 | 394 Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP |
395 Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and | |
396 Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind | |
397 and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This | |
398 release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes | |
399 make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug | |
400 fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request. | |

12541 | 411 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
412 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
413 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
414 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
415 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
416 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
417 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |

423 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |
424 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |

453 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |

455 did is pretty nice, no more encoding error messages! | |

10128 | 482 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
483 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
484 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
485 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
486 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
487 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
488 impact. | |
489 | |
490 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
491 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
492 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |

495 do we keep him around again? | |

10089 | 504 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
505 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
506 | |
507 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
508 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
509 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
510 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
511 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
512 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
513 sometime relatively soon. | |
514 | |
515 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
516 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
517 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
518 all is ready. | |
519 | |
520 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
521 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
522 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
523 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
524 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
525 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
526 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

528 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
529 | |
10034 | 530 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
531 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
532 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
533 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
534 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
535 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
536 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
537 | |
538 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
539 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
540 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
541 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
542 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
543 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
544 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
545 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9852 | 550 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 551 |
9871 | 552 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
553 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
554 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 555 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 556 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
557 | |
9872 | 558 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
559 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
560 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
561 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
562 next time here> | |
563 | |
9873 | 564 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
565 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
566 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
567 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
568 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
569 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
570 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
571 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
572 | |
9877 | 573 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
574 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
575 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
576 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
577 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
578 | |
9880 | 579 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
580 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
581 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
582 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
583 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
584 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
585 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
586 | |
9688 | 587 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
588 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
589 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
590 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
591 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
592 test. | |

623 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
624 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
625 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
626 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
627 | |
9543 | 628 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
629 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
630 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
631 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |

633 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
634 | |
9382 | 635 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
636 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
637 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
638 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
639 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
640 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
641 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 642 |
9384 | 643 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 644 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 645 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
646 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
647 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 653 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
654 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
655 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
656 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
657 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
658 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
659 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
660 accounts. | |
9386 | 661 |
662 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
663 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
664 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
665 | |
9390 | 666 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
667 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
668 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
669 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
670 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
671 | |
9124 | 672 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 673 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
674 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
675 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
676 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
677 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
678 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
679 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
680 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
681 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
682 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
683 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
684 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
685 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
686 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
687 | |
9103 | 688 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
689 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
690 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
691 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 692 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
693 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
694 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
695 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
696 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
697 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 709 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
710 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
711 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
712 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
713 | |
9108 | 714 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 715 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
716 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
717 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
718 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
719 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 720 |
9114 | 721 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
722 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
723 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
724 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
725 | |
8762 | 726 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
727 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 728 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
729 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
730 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
731 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
732 around. | |
8762 | 733 |
8763 | 734 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
735 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
736 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
737 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
738 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
739 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
740 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
741 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
742 | |
8764 | 743 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
744 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
745 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
746 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
747 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
748 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
749 | |
8765 | 750 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
751 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
752 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
753 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
754 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
755 for the next release. | |
756 | |
757 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 767 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 768 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
769 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
770 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
771 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
772 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
773 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
774 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 775 |
8540 | 776 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
777 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
778 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
779 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
780 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 781 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
782 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
783 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
784 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
785 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
786 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 795 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |

8543 | 799 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
800 grand!! | |
8542 | 801 |
8547 | 802 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
803 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
804 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
805 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
806 | |
8551 | 807 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
808 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
809 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
810 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
811 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
812 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
813 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
814 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
815 release. | |
816 | |
8553 | 817 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
818 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
819 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
820 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
821 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
822 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
823 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
824 | |
8047 | 825 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
826 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
827 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
828 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
829 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
830 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
831 | |
8049 | 832 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
833 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
834 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
835 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
836 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
837 | |
838 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
839 something _very_ neat. | |
840 | |
8050 | 841 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
842 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
843 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
844 to figure out what they were. | |

857 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |

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

902 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
903 | |
904 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
905 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
906 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
907 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
908 | |
909 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
910 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
911 said they'll be out until late. | |
912 | |
913 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
914 | |
7593 | 915 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
916 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
917 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |

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

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

983 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
984 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
985 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |

7221 | 1000 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
1001 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1002 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1003 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1004 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1005 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1006 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1007 | |
7225 | 1008 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1009 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1010 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1011 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1012 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1013 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1014 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1015 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1016 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1156 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1157 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1158 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1159 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1160 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1161 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1162 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1163 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1164 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1165 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1166 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |

6129 | 1168 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1169 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1170 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1171 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1172 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1173 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1174 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1175 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1176 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1200 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1201 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1202 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1203 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1204 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1205 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1206 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1207 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1208 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1209 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |

1212 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1213 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1214 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |

1233 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1234 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1235 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1236 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1237 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1238 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1239 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1240 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

1266 from Gaim to keep myself from failing again, especially Christian and | |
1267 Nathan. | |
1268 | |
5404 | 1269 Luke: Okay, this is NOT a bug fix release, at least for those of you |
1270 who use MSN. Christian put in a TON of effort rewritting the MSN prpl, | |
1271 mega props to him on this release. In other news, we have alot of bugs | |
1272 fixed, and a goodly number of the translations are more up to date | |
1273 than they were in earlier releases. There are some other significant | |
1274 changes, but they are mostly backend stuff, yay for core/ui splits ;-) | |

5410 | 1296 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1297 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1298 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1299 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1300 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1301 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1302 the next release. Really. ;-) | |

1306 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1307 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1308 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |

9395 | 1318 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1319 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1320 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1321 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1322 |
5197 | 1323 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1324 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1325 | |
9395 | 1326 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1327 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1328 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1329 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1330 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1331 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1332 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |

5059 | 1335 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1336 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1337 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1338 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1339 | |
9395 | 1340 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1341 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1342 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1343 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1344 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |

5058 | 1346 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1347 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1348 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |

1360 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1361 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |

1372 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1373 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1374 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1375 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |

1378 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1379 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1380 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1381 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1382 enjoy! :) | |
1383 | |
5025 | 1384 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1385 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1386 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |

9395 | 1389 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1390 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1391 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1392 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1393 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |

1411 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1412 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |

1427 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |

1435 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1436 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1437 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1438 our minds ;-). | |
1439 | |
3179 | 1440 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1441 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1442 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1443 cooler, I promise. | |

1447 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1448 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1449 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1450 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1451 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1452 annoying style problem. | |
1453 | |
1454 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1455 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1456 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1457 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |

1462 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1463 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1464 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1465 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1466 | |
3110 | 1467 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1468 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1469 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1474 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1475 | |
3054 | 1476 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1477 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1478 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1479 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1488 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1489 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |

1496 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1497 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1498 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1499 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1500 | |
1501 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1502 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1503 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1504 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1505 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1506 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1507 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1516 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |

1748 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
1749 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
1750 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
1751 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |

1199 | 1863 Rob: I messed up. Oh well, it's fixed. |
1864 | |
1289 | 1865 0.11.0-pre1 (12/03/2000): |
1199 | 1866 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
1867 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
1868 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
1869 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 1870 |
1871 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 1872 |
1199 | 1873 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
1874 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
1875 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
1876 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
1877 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 1878 |
1195 | 1879 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 1880 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
1881 above. :) | |

1195 | 1884 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
1885 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
1886 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
1887 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
1888 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
1889 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
1890 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
1891 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
1892 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

219 | 2062 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2063 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2064 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2065 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2066 | |
2067 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2068 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2069 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2070 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2071 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
2072 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
2073 | |
2074 Thanks much! | |

76 | 2077 0.9.14: |
104 | 2078 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
2079 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
2080 hacking! | |
76 | 2081 |
56 | 2082 0.9.13: |
69 | 2083 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2084 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2085 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2086 |
71 | 2087 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2088 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2089 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2090 problems). | |
2091 | |
7 | 2092 0.9.12: |
25 | 2093 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2094 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2095 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2096 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2097 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2098 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2099 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2100 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2101 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2102 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2107 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 2108 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2109 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2110 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2111 not plumbers! -- rob | |
2112 | |
2113 ** Extra special update ** | |
2114 | |
2115 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2116 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2117 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2118 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2119 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2120 | |
2121 0.9.10: | |
2122 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2123 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2124 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2125 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
2126 | |
2127 0.9.9: | |
2128 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

2129 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2130 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2131 you guys! | |
2132 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2133 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2134 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2135 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2136 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2137 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2138 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2139 | |
2140 0.9.8: | |
2141 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2142 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2143 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2144 HTTP proxy support. | |
2145 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2146 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2147 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2148 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2149 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2150 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2151 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2152 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2153 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2154 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2155 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2156 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2157 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2158 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2159 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2160 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2161 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2162 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2163 enjoy them! :). | |
2164 | |
2165 0.9.7: | |
2166 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2167 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2168 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2169 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2170 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2171 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2172 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2173 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2174 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2175 | |
2176 0.9.6: | |
2177 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2178 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2179 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2180 | |
2181 0.9.5: | |
2182 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2183 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2184 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2185 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2186 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2187 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2188 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2189 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2190 | |
2191 0.8.0: | |
2192 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2193 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2194 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2195 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2196 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2197 want to get it out there. | |
