4 they actually want to compile what they just checked out. Gaim CVS is usually |
960 | 5 relatively stable (we use it all the time), but has tendencies to be quirky at |
6 times. | |
7 | |
8 | |
9 OVERALL | |
10 ======= | |
11 | |
12 The current CVS tree is completely broken. You can still use it to sign in and | |
13 converse with users as normal. If you only have one account signed in then all | |
14 of the old functions still work perfectly (or as well as they did before The | |
15 Change (multiple connections)). | |
16 | |
17 There are a lot of things that are probably going to be very buggy over the | |
18 next month or so. Please bear with us. | |
19 | |
20 | |
21 MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS | |
22 ==================== | |
23 | |
24 I'm impressed that this is working. It took a major restructuring of the | |
25 internals of gaim. Everything had been based around one connection, and that | |
26 connection used one protocol or the other. Now, there are many connections, and | |
27 each connection may be using a different protocol. Most of the functionality is | |
28 complete but the UI hasn't been updated to reflect all of the different users. | |
29 This change isn't going to be complete for quite some time so just bear with us | |
30 as we try to get things operational again. | |
31 | |
32 | |
33 BUDDY LIST | |
34 ========== | |
35 | |
36 The buddy list is completely fucked up. It needs to be heavily modified to be | |
37 able to support The Change. But logging in as only one user makes it work as | |
38 it always did. | |
39 | |
40 This may be changed, but here's how the buddy list cache currently works. When | |
41 you sign on it imports the list from the name you sign on as. When the list is | |
42 saved, it is saved to all of the signed on users. This means that when you sign | |
43 on two or more names at once their lists will be merged. | |
44 | |
45 | |
46 TOC | |
47 === | |
48 | |
49 TOC is working reasonably well. | |
50 | |
51 | |
52 Oscar | |
53 ===== | |
54 | |
55 Oscar is working reasonably well. Please see gaim/libfaim/README.gaim for more | |
56 details on Oscar. | |

59 Applet | |
