annotate NEWS @ 25418:b0c75121cf66
After parsing the message text for HTML formatting, don't try to send it if
it ends up empty. That might happen if your message only contained stuff
like horizontal lines, which MSN does not support, and will ignore.
Fixes #8057.

22377 | 140 John: While this release took what seems like forever to get out the |
141 door, I think it's well worth the wait, especially for Yahoo! users. | |
142 This release serves up some fixes for long standing bugs and adds | |
143 file transfer for transfers with newer Yahoo! clients (finally!). As | |
144 is standard with code I committed, where it works great thank the | |
145 patch writer, and where it's broken, feel free to yell at me. Enjoy! | |
146 | |
22378 | 147 Sadrul: Finch is more colourful and blinky in this release! There's |
148 now a log viewer, which is very useful, and also the ability to | |
149 block/unblock buddies. It's now also possible to find chat rooms on | |
150 many services, e.g. XMPP, IRC, Yahoo! etc. Happy Leap Day! | |

286 all have a much more stable experience with this release. I also | |
287 want to thank the many users who have resubmitted their reports | |
288 as we close out the old Source Forge bug tracker. If all goes well, | |
289 your report will get the attention it deserves as we continue to | |

294 most of the critical issues with 2.0.1. If we haven't, I'm sure | |
295 our wonderful users will let us hear about it. I seem to be | |
296 forgetting something...oh, right, I haven't promised any cool new | |
297 features in the next release! So, I promise at least one cool new | |
298 feature in the next release...you just might have to adjust your | |

16855 | 329 Evan: One small step for bird, one giant leap for birdkind... except |
330 this is hardly one small step. A lot more has changed from Gaim 1.5.0 | |
331 than just the name. Pidgin has a *very* attractive new look, a whole | |
332 new member of the family (Finch, formerly gaim-console) has been born, | |
333 and libpurple has come into its own as a solid, full-featured library | |
334 powering the greatest IM clients around. Bugs were fixed and | |
335 features were added by the hundreds (thousands?) since the last | |
336 major release, all while improving performance and resisting feature | |
337 creep. As Luke said, a ton of thought and effort has gone into | |
338 Pidgin 2.0.0; I'm proud to have played a part. | |

366 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 367 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
368 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
369 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
370 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
371 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
372 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
373 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
374 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
375 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
376 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
377 | |
16005 | 378 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
379 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
380 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
381 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
382 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
383 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
384 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
385 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
386 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
387 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
388 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 389 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 390 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
391 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
392 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
393 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
394 | |
16694 | 395 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
396 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
397 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
398 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 480 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 481 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
482 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
483 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
484 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 485 |
12541 | 486 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
487 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
488 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
489 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
490 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
491 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
492 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
493 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
494 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 501 Richard: Thanks to all who wrote patches (big or small) for this beta. |
12509 | 502 |
12541 | 503 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
504 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
505 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
506 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
507 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
508 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
509 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 510 |
12541 | 511 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
512 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
513 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
514 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
515 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
516 with handling of buddies. | |
517 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
518 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
519 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
520 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
521 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 522 |
12541 | 523 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
524 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
525 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
526 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
527 know what needs to be fixed. | |

12541 | 666 Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so |
667 I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now | |
668 work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It | |
669 works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10) | |
670 I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's | |
671 custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things | |
672 whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it). | |
673 Oh and welcome to the team Daniel. Of course, he was already on my | |
674 Gaim-vv team. | |

677 good work on MSN yet again, so you can all use the HTTP method now. I | |
678 didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and | |
679 a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get | |
680 well soon, so he can get back to merging patches and fixing things. | |

701 good to see fixes from Gary coming in again too ;-). I like the | |

707 for this release, if the autopackage guys release their new version | |
708 soon like they're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by | |
709 realizing it was all Gentoo's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan | |

10128 | 737 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
738 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
739 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
740 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
741 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
742 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
743 impact. | |
744 | |
745 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
746 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
747 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
748 | |

750 do we keep him around again? | |
751 | |
752 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |

758 | |
10089 | 759 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
760 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
761 | |
762 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
763 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
764 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
765 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
766 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
767 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
768 sometime relatively soon. | |
769 | |
770 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
771 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
772 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
773 all is ready. | |
774 | |
775 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
776 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
777 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
778 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
779 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
780 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
781 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
782 | |
783 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
784 | |
10034 | 785 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
786 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
787 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
788 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
789 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
790 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
791 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
792 | |
793 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
794 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
795 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
796 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
797 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
798 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
799 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
800 website. Gaim could use your help. | |

9852 | 805 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 806 |
9871 | 807 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
808 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
809 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 810 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 811 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
812 | |
9872 | 813 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
814 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
815 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
816 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
817 next time here> | |
818 | |
9873 | 819 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
820 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
821 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
822 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
823 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
824 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
825 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
826 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
827 | |
9877 | 828 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
829 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
830 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
831 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
832 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
833 | |
9880 | 834 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
835 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
836 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
837 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
838 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
839 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
840 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
841 | |
9688 | 842 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
843 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
844 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
845 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
846 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
847 test. | |

871 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
872 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
873 | |
9540 | 874 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 875 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 876 |
9542 | 877 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
878 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
879 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
880 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
881 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
882 | |
9543 | 883 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
884 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
885 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
886 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |

888 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
889 | |
9382 | 890 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
891 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
892 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
893 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
894 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
895 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
896 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 897 |
9384 | 898 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 899 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 900 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
901 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
902 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 908 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
909 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
910 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
911 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
912 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
913 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
914 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
915 accounts. | |
9386 | 916 |
917 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
918 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
919 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
920 | |
9390 | 921 Nathan: I've been really busy, what with having a new job and all. |
922 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
923 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
924 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
925 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
926 | |
9124 | 927 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 928 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
929 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
930 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
931 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
932 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
933 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
934 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
935 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
936 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
937 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
938 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
939 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
940 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
941 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
942 | |
9103 | 943 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
944 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
945 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |

948 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
949 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
950 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
951 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
952 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 964 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
965 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
966 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
967 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
968 | |
9108 | 969 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 970 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
971 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
972 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
973 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
974 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 975 |
9114 | 976 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
977 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
978 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
979 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
980 | |
8762 | 981 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
982 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 983 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
984 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
985 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
986 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
987 around. | |
8762 | 988 |
8763 | 989 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
990 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
991 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
992 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
993 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
994 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
995 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
996 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
997 | |
8764 | 998 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
999 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1000 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1001 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1002 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1003 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1004 | |
8765 | 1005 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
1006 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
1007 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
1008 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
1009 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1010 for the next release. | |
1011 | |
1012 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8540 | 1022 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 1023 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1024 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1025 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1026 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1027 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1028 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1029 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1030 |
8540 | 1031 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1032 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1033 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1034 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1035 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1036 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1037 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1038 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1039 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1040 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1041 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 1050 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |

1052 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |

8543 | 1054 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1055 grand!! | |
8542 | 1056 |
8547 | 1057 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1058 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1059 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1060 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1061 | |
8551 | 1062 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1063 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1064 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1065 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1066 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1067 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1068 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1069 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1070 release. | |
1071 | |
8553 | 1072 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1073 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1074 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1075 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1076 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1077 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1078 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1079 | |
8047 | 1080 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1081 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1082 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1083 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1084 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1085 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1086 | |
8049 | 1087 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1088 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1089 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1090 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1091 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1092 | |
1093 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1094 something _very_ neat. | |
1095 | |
8050 | 1096 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1097 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1098 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1099 to figure out what they were. | |

1112 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
1113 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
1114 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

1157 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1158 | |
1159 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1160 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1161 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1162 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1163 | |
1164 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1165 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1166 said they'll be out until late. | |
1167 | |
1168 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1169 | |
7593 | 1170 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1171 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1172 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1173 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1174 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1175 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1176 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1177 forget what it is. | |

1211 enough, I'm sure I'll remember what it was... Oh yeah, all of | |
1212 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |

1214 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
1215 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |

1233 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

1235 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1236 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1237 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1238 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1239 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1240 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1241 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

7221 | 1255 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
1256 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1257 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1258 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1259 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1260 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1261 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1262 | |
7225 | 1263 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1264 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1265 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1266 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1267 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1268 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1269 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1270 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1271 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1406 working offline on a MacOSX UI. No, you're not allowed to ask | |

6134 | 1410 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
1411 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1412 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1413 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1414 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1415 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1416 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1417 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1418 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1419 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1420 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1421 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
1422 | |
6129 | 1423 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1424 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1425 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1426 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1427 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1428 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1429 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1430 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1431 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1455 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1456 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1457 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1458 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1459 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1460 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1461 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1462 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1463 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1464 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1465 | |
6137 | 1466 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1467 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1468 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1469 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1470 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

5555 | 1487 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1488 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1489 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1490 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1491 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1492 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1493 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

5555 | 1495 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

5410 | 1551 Nathan: It seems like 0.62 was forever and a day ago. I had to look |
1552 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1553 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1554 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1555 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |
1556 get anything done. Jabber will get all sorts of fun new stuff for | |
1557 the next release. Really. ;-) | |
1558 | |
5403 | 1559 0.62 (04/23/2003): |
5193 | 1560 Sean: This is just another standard bi-weekly Gaim release. Nothing |
1561 really interesting, but it has some good bugfixes. Personally, I've | |
1562 been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting | |
1563 tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great | |
1564 work without me. Thanks, guys. | |

9395 | 1567 look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay, |
1568 though, because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin | |
1569 authors will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is | |
1570 actually a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell | |
1571 your friends. 33 Gaim users can't be wrong! | |

9395 | 1573 Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a |
1574 couple bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much | |
1575 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |
1576 busy. Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. | |
5196 | 1577 |
5197 | 1578 Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously. I'm going to eat |
1579 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1580 | |
9395 | 1581 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1582 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1583 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1584 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1585 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1586 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1587 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |

5059 | 1590 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1591 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1592 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1593 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1594 | |
9395 | 1595 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1596 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1597 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1598 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1599 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1600 |
5058 | 1601 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1602 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1603 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1604 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |

9395 | 1613 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1614 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1615 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1616 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1617 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1618 |
5078 | 1619 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
1620 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

5023 | 1624 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
1625 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1626 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1627 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1628 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1629 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1630 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1631 | |
5024 | 1632 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1633 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1634 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1635 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1636 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1637 enjoy! :) | |
1638 | |
5025 | 1639 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1640 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1641 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1642 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1643 | |
9395 | 1644 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1645 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1646 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1647 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1648 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1649 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

3334 | 1662 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1663 | |
3335 | 1664 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1665 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1666 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1667 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1668 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |

1676 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1677 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1678 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1679 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1680 |
3243 | 1681 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1682 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1683 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1684 | |

3173 | 1688 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1689 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1690 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1691 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1692 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1693 our minds ;-). | |
1694 | |
3179 | 1695 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1696 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1697 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1698 cooler, I promise. | |

3144 | 1700 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1701 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1702 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1703 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1704 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1705 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1706 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1707 annoying style problem. | |
1708 | |
1709 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1710 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1711 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1712 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1713 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1714 future. | |

3113 | 1716 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1717 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1718 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1719 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1720 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1721 | |
3110 | 1722 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1723 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1724 anyway. Thanks guys! | |

1727 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1728 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1729 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1730 | |
3054 | 1731 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1732 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1733 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1734 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |

1742 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1743 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1744 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1745 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1746 notification too. Hooray! | |

1751 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1752 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1753 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1754 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1755 | |
1756 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1757 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1758 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1759 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1760 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1761 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1762 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |

1770 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1771 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1772 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1773 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2003 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |

2129 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2130 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2131 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2132 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |

1195 | 2134 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2135 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |

1195 | 2139 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2140 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2141 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2142 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2143 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2144 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2145 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2146 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2147 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

2325 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2326 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
2327 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
2328 | |
2329 Thanks much! | |

76 | 2332 0.9.14: |
104 | 2333 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
2334 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
2335 hacking! | |
76 | 2336 |
56 | 2337 0.9.13: |
69 | 2338 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2339 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2340 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2341 |
71 | 2342 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2343 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2344 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
2345 problems). | |
2346 | |
7 | 2347 0.9.12: |
25 | 2348 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2349 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2350 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2351 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2352 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2353 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2354 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2355 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2356 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2357 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2361 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |

2362 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |
0 | 2363 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font |
2364 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
2365 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
2366 not plumbers! -- rob | |
2367 | |
2368 ** Extra special update ** | |
2369 | |
2370 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2371 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2372 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2373 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
2374 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
2375 | |
2376 0.9.10: | |
2377 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
2378 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
2379 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
2380 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
2381 | |
2382 0.9.9: | |
2383 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |

2384 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2385 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2386 you guys! | |
2387 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2388 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2389 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2390 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2391 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2392 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2393 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2394 | |
2395 0.9.8: | |
2396 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2397 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2398 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2399 HTTP proxy support. | |
2400 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2401 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2402 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2403 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2404 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2405 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 2406 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2407 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2408 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2409 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2410 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2411 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2412 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2413 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2414 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2415 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2416 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2417 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2418 enjoy them! :). | |
2419 | |
2420 0.9.7: | |
2421 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2422 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2423 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2424 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2425 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2426 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2427 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2428 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2429 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2430 | |
2431 0.9.6: | |
2432 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2433 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2434 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2435 | |
2436 0.9.5: | |
2437 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2438 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2439 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2440 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2441 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2442 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2443 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2444 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2445 | |
2446 0.8.0: | |
2447 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2448 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2449 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2450 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2451 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2452 want to get it out there. | |
