5 Rob: Hi Hi Hi! Yet another gaim release pushed out the door | |
6 for you guys. I hope you all enjoy it. There was a few minor | |
7 issues cleared up in this version as well as the repair of | |
8 OSCAR support. Hopefully we won't run into the same problem | |
9 as before. Oh well ;-). There's also a few small extra goodies | |
10 in here for you guys just check out the Change Log. I hope you all | |
11 enjoy and take care! | |

39 a lot of them from the Gnome Stock icons. If anyone could do some | |
40 custom ones that stay within the 24x24 boundary and keep the same | |
41 idea and feel as the gnome icons then we would be more than happy | |

48 would like it to be, though. Over the next few versions you will | |
49 notice a few more interface changes as we try to bring a more | |
50 professional look to GAIM. As always, we will stay true to our | |

70 in this version of gaim. The user interface changes will wait until | |
71 the 0.9.20 release. We've decided to turn 0.9.19 into a "new feature | |
72 and major bug fix" release. All/Most major bugs should be worked out | |

170 | 151 0.9.15: |
219 | 152 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
153 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
154 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
155 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
156 | |
157 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
158 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
159 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
160 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
161 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |
162 http://www.marko.net/gaim | |
163 | |
164 Thanks much! | |
165 | |
170 | 166 |
76 | 167 0.9.14: |
104 | 168 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |
169 a little suprise. You guessed it, kiddos, support for plugins! Happy | |
170 hacking! | |
76 | 171 |
56 | 172 0.9.13: |
69 | 173 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
174 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
175 released very soon now. | |
56 | 176 |
71 | 177 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
178 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
179 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |
180 problems). | |
181 | |
7 | 182 0.9.12: |
25 | 183 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
184 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
185 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
186 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
187 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
188 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
189 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
190 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
191 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
192 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |
7 | 193 |
0 | 194 0.9.11: |
195 Jeramey got a new Comfy Chair! Its very very comfy! Whee! | |
196 Jim also had a little hyper-drunken moment and started hacking away at | |
197 a new configuration format for GAIM. Looks like we're running .gaimrc | |
198 version 1 now. Gotta love it. I got bored and hacked in a couple font | |
199 properties that will, in time, contain more features. That's about it | |
200 for this version -- cept for that memory leak we fixed. Shush! We're | |
201 not plumbers! -- rob | |
202 | |
203 ** Extra special update ** | |
204 | |
205 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
206 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
207 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
208 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |
209 the project. Sorry about that, guys :) | |
210 | |
211 0.9.10: | |
212 Umm. Dont ask. Silly memory leak. For those of you who | |
213 wondered, you were losing about 256 bytes every 25 seconds for each | |
214 person you have on your contact list. Make fun of us. Better yet .. | |
215 Send us beer. We'll do better :) | |
216 | |
217 0.9.9: | |
218 Welp, All of you boys and girls who run Mandrake and have some | |
219 problems with GAIM working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It | |
220 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for | |
221 you guys! | |
222 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
223 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
224 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
225 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
226 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
227 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
228 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

230 0.9.8: | |
231 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
232 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
233 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
234 HTTP proxy support. | |
235 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
236 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
237 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
238 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
239 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |
240 Looks like the GAIM developers convention (cool name huh) that we | |
241 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh | |
242 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
243 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
244 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
245 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
246 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
247 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
248 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
249 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
250 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
251 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
252 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
253 enjoy them! :). | |
254 | |
255 0.9.7: | |
256 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
257 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
258 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
259 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
260 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
261 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
262 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
263 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
264 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
265 | |
266 0.9.6: | |
267 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
268 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
269 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
270 | |
271 0.9.5: | |
272 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
273 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
274 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
275 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
276 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
277 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
278 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
279 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
280 | |
281 0.8.0: | |
282 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
283 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
284 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
285 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
286 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
287 want to get it out there. | |
