Adding ICQ X-Status icons from N3fr0n. These will be used as part of a small
16x16 emoticon theme that Hylke started, unless or until he decides to redo
them to more closely match the 24x24 default icons. They will also, of course,
be used for the ICQ X-Status support.
These icons are licensed under the GPLv2 or any later version, as per N3fr0n's
comments in ticket #4508.

17248 | 239 Stu: Lots'o'fixes in this. I don't know how you users find so many |
240 things for us to fix. 24 hours in a day (sadly). 24 is divisible by the | |

245 Many, though unfortunately not all, of the reports that have been | |
246 submitted to us since 2.0.0 have been fixed now, and so you should | |
247 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |
248 want to thank the many users who have resubmitted their reports | |
249 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |
250 your report will get the attention it deserves as we continue to | |
251 work on Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple. | |
17246 | 252 |
17255 | 253 Nathan: A ton of fixes have gone into this release. The feedback |
254 we've gotten on 2.0.0 has been incredible. Hopefully we've resolved | |
255 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
256 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
257 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |
258 features in the next release! So, I promise at least one cool new | |

327 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 328 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
329 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
330 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
331 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
332 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
333 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
334 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
335 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
336 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
337 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
338 | |
16005 | 339 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
340 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
341 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
342 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
343 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
344 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
345 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
346 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
347 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
348 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
349 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 350 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 351 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
352 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
353 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
354 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
355 | |
16694 | 356 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
357 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
358 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
359 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 441 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 442 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
443 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
444 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
445 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 446 |
12541 | 447 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
448 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
449 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
450 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
451 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
452 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
453 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
454 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
455 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

466 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
467 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
468 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
469 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
470 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 471 |
12541 | 472 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
473 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
474 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
475 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
476 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
477 with handling of buddies. | |
478 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
479 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
480 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
481 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
482 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 483 |
12541 | 484 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
485 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
486 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
487 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
488 know what needs to be fixed. | |

10128 | 698 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
699 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
700 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
701 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
702 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
703 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
704 impact. | |
705 | |
706 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
707 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
708 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
709 | |
710 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why | |
711 do we keep him around again? | |
712 | |
713 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |
714 anything for this release or not, probably not. Bleeter has been more | |
715 active lately though, perhaps we'll see lots of cool things from him | |
716 soon. | |
717 | |
718 Sean: I'm down here with the "didn't do anything" guys. | |
719 | |
10089 | 720 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
721 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
722 | |
723 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
724 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
725 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
726 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
727 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
728 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
729 sometime relatively soon. | |
730 | |
731 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
732 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
733 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
734 all is ready. | |
735 | |
736 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
737 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
738 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
739 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
740 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
741 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
742 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
743 | |
744 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
745 | |
10034 | 746 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
747 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
748 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
749 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
750 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
751 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
752 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
753 | |
754 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
755 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
756 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
757 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
758 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
759 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
760 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
761 website. Gaim could use your help. | |
762 | |
763 Mark: I love a circus. | |
764 | |
9872 | 765 0.82 (08/25/2004): |
9852 | 766 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 767 |
9871 | 768 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
769 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
770 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 771 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 772 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
773 | |
9872 | 774 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
775 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
776 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
777 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
778 next time here> | |
779 | |
9873 | 780 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
781 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
782 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
783 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
784 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
785 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
786 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
787 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
788 | |
9877 | 789 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
790 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
791 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
792 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
793 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
794 | |
9880 | 795 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
796 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
797 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
798 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
799 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
800 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
801 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
802 | |
9688 | 803 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
804 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
805 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
806 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
807 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
808 test. | |

9690 | 820 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of |
821 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
822 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
823 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
824 | |
9691 | 825 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
826 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
827 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
828 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
829 | |
9537 | 830 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
831 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
832 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
833 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
834 | |
9540 | 835 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 836 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 837 |
9542 | 838 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
839 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
840 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
841 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
842 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
843 | |
9543 | 844 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
845 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
846 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
847 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
848 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
849 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
850 | |
9382 | 851 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
852 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
853 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
854 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
855 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
856 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
857 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 858 |
9384 | 859 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 860 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 861 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
862 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
863 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 869 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
870 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
871 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
872 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
873 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
874 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
875 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
876 accounts. | |
9386 | 877 |
878 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
879 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
880 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
881 | |
9390 | 882 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
883 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
884 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
885 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
886 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
887 | |
9124 | 888 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 889 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
890 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
891 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
892 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
893 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
894 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
895 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
896 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
897 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
898 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
899 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
900 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
901 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
902 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
903 | |
9103 | 904 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
905 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
906 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
907 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 908 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
909 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
910 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
911 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
912 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
913 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 925 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
926 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
927 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
928 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
929 | |
9108 | 930 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 931 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
932 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
933 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
934 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
935 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 936 |
9114 | 937 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
938 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
939 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
940 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
941 | |
8762 | 942 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
943 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 944 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
945 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
946 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
947 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
948 around. | |
8762 | 949 |
8763 | 950 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
951 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
952 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
953 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
954 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
955 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
956 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
957 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
958 | |
8764 | 959 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
960 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
961 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
962 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
963 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
964 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
965 | |
8765 | 966 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
967 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
968 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
969 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
970 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
971 for the next release. | |
972 | |
973 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 983 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 984 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
985 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
986 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
987 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
988 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
989 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
990 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 991 |
8540 | 992 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
993 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
994 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
995 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
996 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 997 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
998 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
999 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1000 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1001 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1002 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 1011 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
1012 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
1013 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 1014 |
8543 | 1015 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1016 grand!! | |
8542 | 1017 |
8547 | 1018 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1019 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1020 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1021 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1022 | |
8551 | 1023 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1024 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1025 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1026 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1027 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1028 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1029 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1030 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1031 release. | |
1032 | |
8553 | 1033 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1034 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1035 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1036 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1037 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1038 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1039 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1040 | |
8047 | 1041 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1042 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1043 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1044 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1045 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1046 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1047 | |
8049 | 1048 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1049 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1050 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1051 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1052 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1053 | |
1054 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1055 something _very_ neat. | |
1056 | |
8050 | 1057 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1058 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1059 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1060 to figure out what they were. | |

1073 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
1074 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
1075 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |
1076 and everyone should be happy to note that 0.75 leaks far less than | |

7635 | 1117 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
1118 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1119 | |
1120 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1121 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1122 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1123 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1124 | |
1125 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1126 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1127 said they'll be out until late. | |
1128 | |
1129 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1130 | |
7593 | 1131 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1132 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1133 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1134 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1135 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1136 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1137 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1138 forget what it is. | |

1198 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1199 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1200 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1201 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |

7221 | 1216 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
1217 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1218 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1219 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1220 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1221 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1222 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1223 | |
7225 | 1224 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1225 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1226 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1227 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1228 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1229 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1230 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1231 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1232 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1373 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1374 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1375 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1376 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1377 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1378 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1379 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |

1386 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1387 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1388 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1389 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1390 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1391 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |

6133 | 1416 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1417 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1418 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1419 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1420 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1421 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1422 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1423 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1424 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1425 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1426 | |
6137 | 1427 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1428 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1429 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1430 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1431 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

1446 all of your hard work, guys :). | |
1447 | |
5555 | 1448 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1449 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1450 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1451 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1452 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1453 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1454 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1455 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1456 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

1514 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |

1516 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |

1536 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |

1543 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1544 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1545 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1546 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |

9395 | 1574 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1575 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1576 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1577 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1578 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1579 |
5078 | 1580 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
1581 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

5023 | 1585 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
1586 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1587 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1588 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1589 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1590 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1591 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1592 | |
5024 | 1593 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1594 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1595 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1596 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1597 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1598 enjoy! :) | |
1599 | |
5025 | 1600 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1601 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1602 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1603 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1604 | |
9395 | 1605 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1606 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1607 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1608 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1609 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1610 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

1622 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 1623 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1624 | |
3335 | 1625 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1626 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1627 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1628 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1629 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 1630 computer works again, you have my word* |
1631 | |

3241 | 1635 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 1636 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
1637 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1638 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1639 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1640 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1641 |
3243 | 1642 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1643 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1644 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1645 | |
3244 | 1646 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
1647 Rob's a mango. | |
1648 | |
3173 | 1649 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1650 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1651 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1652 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1653 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1654 our minds ;-). | |
1655 | |
3179 | 1656 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1657 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1658 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1659 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1660 |
3144 | 1661 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1662 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1663 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1664 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1665 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1666 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1667 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1668 annoying style problem. | |
1669 | |
1670 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1671 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1672 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1673 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1674 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1675 future. | |
3114 | 1676 |
3113 | 1677 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1678 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1679 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1680 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1681 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1682 | |
3110 | 1683 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1684 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1685 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1686 |
3053 | 1687 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1688 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1689 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1690 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1691 | |
3054 | 1692 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1693 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1694 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1695 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1696 |
2993 | 1697 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
1698 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1699 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1700 | |
1701 | |
1702 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1703 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1704 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1705 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1706 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1707 notification too. Hooray! | |
1708 | |
2978 | 1709 |
2961 | 1710 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1711 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1712 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1713 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1714 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1715 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1716 | |
1717 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1718 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1719 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1720 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1721 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1722 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1723 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1724 next release ;) | |

1731 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1732 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1733 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1734 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

1844 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
1845 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
1846 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |

1199 | 2082 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2083 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
2084 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
2085 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 2086 |
2087 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2088 |
1199 | 2089 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2090 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2091 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2092 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2093 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2094 |
1195 | 2095 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2096 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
2097 above. :) | |

1195 | 2100 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2101 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2102 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2103 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2104 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2105 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2106 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2107 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2108 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

2281 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |

2283 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2284 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2285 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |

25 | 2309 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2310 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2311 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2312 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2313 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2314 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2315 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2316 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |

2345 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2346 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2347 you guys! | |
2348 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2349 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2350 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |

2352 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |

2357 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |

2359 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2360 HTTP proxy support. | |
2361 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2362 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2363 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |

2408 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2409 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2410 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2411 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2412 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2413 want to get it out there. | |
