63 story, but essentially, my company layed off a bunch of people, | |
64 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
65 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
66 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |
67 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower | |
68 back and neck. So, basically, we were inactive, but not dead. | |

1637 | 182 Rob: MSN got some fixes and should be really stable now. It had |
183 a little 100% CPU eating bug but that's taken care of now. Next | |
184 on my list of repairs is the napster plugin. It works -- sorta -- | |
185 sometimes. Heh. As all of you probably know already, our Oscar | |
186 support was broken yesterday. There's a little battle going on | |
187 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
188 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |
189 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-). | |

222 In this release is the NEWS file. It's the only thing I contributed | |

234 much more developed at this point -- they should be completed, | |

1195 | 320 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
321 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
322 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
323 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
324 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
325 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
326 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
327 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
328 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

499 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
500 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
501 | |
502 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
503 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
504 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |

515 hacking! | |

71 | 522 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
523 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
524 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |

7 | 527 0.9.12: |
25 | 528 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
529 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
530 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
531 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
532 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
533 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
534 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
535 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
536 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |

567 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
568 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
569 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
570 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
571 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
572 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
573 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

575 0.9.8: | |
576 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
577 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
578 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
579 HTTP proxy support. | |
580 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
581 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
582 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
583 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
584 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

585 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |
0 | 586 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
587 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
588 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
589 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
590 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
591 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
592 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
593 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
594 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
595 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
596 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
597 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
598 enjoy them! :). | |

600 0.9.7: | |
601 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
602 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
603 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
604 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
605 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
606 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
607 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
608 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
609 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
610 | |
611 0.9.6: | |
612 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
613 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
614 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
615 | |
616 0.9.5: | |
617 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
618 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
619 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
620 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
621 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
622 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
623 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
624 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
625 | |
626 0.8.0: | |
627 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
628 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
629 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
630 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
631 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
632 want to get it out there. | |
