79 in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless | |
80 developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe | |
81 they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all | |
82 those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window. | |

28208 | 84 Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that |

27945 | 98 and a crapton of bugfixes this release. There should pretty much be |
99 something for everybody. A great example of this is the ton of Yahoo | |
100 changes that have happened thanks to our SoC student from 2008, Sulabh | |
101 Mahajan. Among his massive improvements are the ability to add MSN | |
102 buddies by adding them as "msn/user@domain.tld" and peer-to-peer file | |

544 2.0.0beta7 (4/29/2007): |
16690 | 545 Sean: Beta 7. The final beta. A few major changes from beta6. For |
546 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
547 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |
548 below, we're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement | |
549 from AOL that puts us in the clear. We all really regret having to go | |
550 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
551 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
552 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
553 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |
554 whirl, and let us know if you run into any major issues. | |
555 | |
16005 | 556 Nathan: So, the secret is out now. We renamed to Pidgin. I'd just |
557 like to apologize to everyone we've had to keep in the dark for the | |
558 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
559 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
560 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
561 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
562 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
563 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
564 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
565 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
566 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 567 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 568 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
569 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
570 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
571 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
572 | |
16694 | 573 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
574 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
575 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
576 but that's another story all together. | |

665 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
666 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
667 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
668 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
669 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
670 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
671 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
672 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 674 Gary: Finally we have a beta. There are a lot of new goodies, including |
675 quite a few summer of code projects that couldn't get added into the | |
676 oldstatus branch because API changes. We also have a new mono plugin | |
677 loader for even more plugin fun. | |

12509 | 680 |
12541 | 681 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
682 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
683 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
684 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
685 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
686 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
687 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 688 |
12541 | 689 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
690 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
691 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
692 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
693 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
694 with handling of buddies. | |
695 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
696 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
697 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
698 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
699 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 700 |
12541 | 701 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
702 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
703 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
704 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
705 know what needs to be fixed. | |

10128 | 915 1.0.2 (10/19/2004): |
916 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
917 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
918 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |
919 the patch tracker to fix some others. Sadly the bug tracker was not | |
920 significantly affected, maybe if I learn C I'll be able to make more of an | |
921 impact. | |
922 | |
923 Luke: Don't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release, | |
924 and deserves a lot of credit for it. And a number of those bug fixes are | |
925 critical ones that he discovered and fixed himself. So go update. Now. | |
926 | |
927 Nathan: On the other hand, Nathan has done nothing for this release. Why | |
928 do we keep him around again? | |
929 | |
930 Tim: So, I'm married now, and in Huntsville. I don't remember if I did | |
931 anything for this release or not, probably not. Bleeter has been more | |
932 active lately though, perhaps we'll see lots of cool things from him | |
933 soon. | |
934 | |
935 Sean: I'm down here with the "didn't do anything" guys. | |
936 | |
10089 | 937 1.0.1 (10/07/2004): |
938 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
939 | |
940 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
941 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
942 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
943 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
944 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
945 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
946 sometime relatively soon. | |
947 | |
948 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
949 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
950 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
951 all is ready. | |
952 | |
953 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
954 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
955 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
956 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
957 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
958 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
959 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |
960 | |
961 Nathan: I got a new computer. It's fast. And has twice the bits! | |
962 | |
10034 | 963 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
964 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
965 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
966 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
967 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
968 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
969 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
970 | |
971 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
972 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
973 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
974 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
975 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
976 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
977 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |
978 website. Gaim could use your help. | |
979 | |
980 Mark: I love a circus. | |
981 | |
9872 | 982 0.82 (08/25/2004): |
9852 | 983 Rob: Woah, where did I come from? |
8540 | 984 |
9871 | 985 Mark: Lately I've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch |
986 accepting/bug fixing type of work. And I think that's a really | |
987 good thing. I feel like Gaim is becoming more stable. It | |
9878 | 988 seems like we're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm. |
9871 | 989 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |
990 | |
9872 | 991 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
992 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
993 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
994 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
995 next time here> | |
996 | |
9873 | 997 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
998 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
999 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
1000 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
1001 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
1002 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
1003 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
1004 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
1005 | |
9877 | 1006 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
1007 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
1008 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
1009 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
1010 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
1011 | |
9880 | 1012 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
1013 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
1014 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
1015 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
1016 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
1017 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
1018 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
1019 | |
9688 | 1020 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
1021 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
1022 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
1023 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
1024 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
1025 test. | |

9690 | 1037 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of |
1038 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
1039 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
1040 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
1041 | |
9691 | 1042 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
1043 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
1044 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
1045 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
1046 | |
9537 | 1047 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
1048 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
1049 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
1050 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
1051 | |
9540 | 1052 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 1053 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 1054 |
9542 | 1055 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
1056 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
1057 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
1058 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
1059 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
1060 | |
9543 | 1061 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
1062 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
1063 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
1064 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
1065 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
1066 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
1067 | |
9382 | 1068 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
1069 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
1070 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
1071 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
1072 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
1073 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
1074 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 1075 |
9384 | 1076 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 1077 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 1078 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
1079 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
1080 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 1086 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
1087 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
1088 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
1089 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
1090 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
1091 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
1092 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
1093 accounts. | |
9386 | 1094 |
1095 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
1096 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |

1098 | |

1100 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
1101 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
1102 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
1103 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
1104 | |
9124 | 1105 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 1106 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
1107 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
1108 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
1109 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
1110 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
1111 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
1112 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
1113 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
1114 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
1115 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
1116 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
1117 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
1118 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
1119 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
1120 | |
9103 | 1121 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
1122 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
1123 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
1124 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 1125 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
1126 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
1127 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
1128 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
1129 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
1130 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 1142 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
1143 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
1144 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
1145 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
1146 | |
9108 | 1147 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 1148 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
1149 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
1150 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
1151 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
1152 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 1153 |
9114 | 1154 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
1155 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
1156 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
1157 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
1158 | |
8762 | 1159 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
1160 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 1161 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
1162 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
1163 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
1164 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
1165 around. | |
8762 | 1166 |
8763 | 1167 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
1168 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
1169 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
1170 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
1171 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
1172 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
1173 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
1174 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
1175 | |
8764 | 1176 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
1177 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1178 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1179 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1180 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1181 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1182 | |
8765 | 1183 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |

1185 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |

1187 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1188 for the next release. | |

8540 | 1200 0.76 (04/01/2004): |
8548 | 1201 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1202 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1203 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1204 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1205 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1206 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1207 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1208 |
8540 | 1209 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1210 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1211 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1212 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1213 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1214 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1215 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1216 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1217 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1218 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1219 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8542 | 1228 Mark: Our crazy patch writers rock. Gary Kramlich, Tim Ringenbach, |
1229 Kevin Stange, and Stu Tomlinson did an amazing job of tying up | |
1230 loose ends and helping get this release out the door. Thanks guys! | |
8547 | 1231 |
8543 | 1232 Rob: My birthday is in a few days. I like cool stuff. Buy me something |
1233 grand!! | |
8542 | 1234 |
8547 | 1235 Tim: Luke said write a NEWS, so I thought I would. There's a room |
1236 list dialog now. And Nathan and I doubled the number of protocols that | |
1237 can transfer files. After that I got lazy/busy and let Gary, Kevin, | |
1238 and Stu fix all the bugs. | |
1239 | |
8551 | 1240 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1241 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1242 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1243 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1244 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1245 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1246 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1247 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1248 release. | |
1249 | |
8553 | 1250 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1251 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1252 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1253 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1254 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1255 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1256 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1257 | |
8047 | 1258 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1259 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1260 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1261 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1262 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1263 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1264 | |
8049 | 1265 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1266 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1267 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1268 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1269 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1270 | |
1271 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1272 something _very_ neat. | |
1273 | |
8050 | 1274 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1275 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1276 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1277 to figure out what they were. | |

1290 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
1291 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
1292 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |

1336 | |
1337 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1338 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1339 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1340 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1341 | |
1342 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1343 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1344 said they'll be out until late. | |
1345 | |
1346 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1347 | |
7593 | 1348 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1349 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1350 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1351 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1352 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1353 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1354 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1355 forget what it is. | |

1411 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |
9395 | 1412 and much progress has been made on the core/UI split. We should be done |
1413 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1414 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1415 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1416 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1417 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1418 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1419 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |
1420 it. Starting October 15th, the old protocol won't be supported | |

7221 | 1433 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
1434 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1435 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1436 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1437 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1438 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1439 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1440 | |
7225 | 1441 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |

1443 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1444 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1445 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1446 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1447 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1448 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1449 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

6134 | 1588 Sean: Although I tend to go right here in the two slot in NEWS, |
1589 we don't always commit in this order. This is the third time I've | |
1590 rewritten this because the jerks below me keep commiting while I'm | |
1591 writing causing mass conflictination. Grrr. Stupid jerks. Anyway, | |
1592 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1593 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1594 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1595 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1596 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |
1597 Great, now Luke just committed NEWS causing more conflictination. | |
1598 I wouldn't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don't want to thank | |
1599 Megan (Cae) or Kevin (SimGuy). They're stupid jerks too. Grrr... | |
1600 | |
6129 | 1601 Mark: I actually did stuff for this release. Go me. I probably |
1602 shouldn't speak for all of us, but I'm going to anyway: We feel that | |
1603 this release is one of Gaim's best. It should be relatively bug | |
6135 | 1604 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1605 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1606 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |
6130 | 1607 (javabsp), and Kevin Stange (SimGuy) for their work. Man, I was just |
6129 | 1608 looking at Sean's NEWS entry for 0.64--that's talent. Also, stay |
1609 in school. Just say no. Only you can prevent forest fires. | |

6133 | 1633 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1634 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1635 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1636 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1637 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1638 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1639 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1640 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1641 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1642 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1643 | |
6137 | 1644 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1645 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1646 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1647 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1648 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

1666 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1667 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1668 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1669 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1670 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1671 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |

1757 my Pop-tarts now. | |
1758 | |
9395 | 1759 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1760 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1761 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1762 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1763 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |
1764 will come in time. That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted | |
1765 "I was hacking on Gaim" as a valid excuse for an extension ;-) | |
5198 | 1766 |
5058 | 1767 0.61 (04/07/2003): |
5059 | 1768 Rob: Nathan commited his news first. However, I'm cooler so I'm putting |
1769 my entry above his. Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I | |
1770 blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling. I blame it on the | |
1771 faucet. It drips all night. | |
1772 | |
9395 | 1773 Sean: I committed my news after Rob. I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) |
1774 but not as cool as Rob. So I go here. Actually, I didn't do anything | |
1775 since 0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches. The one from | |
1776 Dave Camp is cool. How 'bout this snow? Isn't that crazy? Oh, and | |
1777 thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. | |
5073 | 1778 |
5058 | 1779 Nathan: You want frequent releases? You got 'em ;-) Chip wrote some |
1780 cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag | |
1781 groups and buddies around. It's bad enough having 1 of some of my | |
1782 buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates. Being that I | |
1783 have class in the morning, I'll just raise my juice glass for this one. | |

9395 | 1791 Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a |
1792 few patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The | |
1793 biggest thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having | |
1794 that fixed will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases | |
1795 people, we want to use cvs for actual development :-). | |
5076 | 1796 |
5078 | 1797 Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done |
1798 anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning. Boo-yeah. | |

5023 | 1802 0.60 (04/04/2003): |
1803 Rob: Wow. So, it has been a really long time since we started the | |
1804 gtk2 fork. It's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about | |
1805 to go out and buy a case of beer. My roommate is downstairs right | |
1806 now pouring me a shot of his choice. Everyone, raise your beers if | |
1807 you've got them. It's been a cool almost 10-months of development. | |
1808 I hope you all enjoy. Drink'em if you got'em! | |
1809 | |
5024 | 1810 Sean: I'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can |
1811 believe we're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone | |
1812 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1813 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |
1814 Even the ChangeLog is somewhat incomplete. Yay, I'm 21 now! Everyone | |
1815 enjoy! :) | |
1816 | |
5025 | 1817 Nathan: Happy birthday Sean! Rob decided to let me start cleaning up |
1818 after everyone, so here I am. "sexy" is the only word that can be used | |
1819 to describe 0.60. Prepare to be shocked and amazed. /me raises his | |
1820 (shot) glass ;-) | |
1821 | |
9395 | 1822 Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, |
1823 I thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell | |
1824 everybody just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was | |
1825 able to contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim | |
1826 developer! I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have | |
1827 some neat stuff planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a | |

3289 | 1838 Rob: I guess Sean is busy at home or something and Jim is asleep. |
1839 I'm very tired but it's time for a release. Enjoy. :) | |
3334 | 1840 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1841 | |
3335 | 1842 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1843 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1844 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1845 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1846 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 1847 computer works again, you have my word* |

3242 | 1853 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
1854 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1855 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1856 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1857 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1858 |
3243 | 1859 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1860 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1861 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1862 | |
3244 | 1863 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
1864 Rob's a mango. | |
1865 | |
3173 | 1866 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1867 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1868 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1869 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1870 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1871 our minds ;-). | |
1872 | |
3179 | 1873 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1874 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1875 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1876 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1877 |
3144 | 1878 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1879 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1880 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1881 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1882 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1883 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1884 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1885 annoying style problem. | |
1886 | |
1887 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1888 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1889 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1890 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1891 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1892 future. | |
3114 | 1893 |
3113 | 1894 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1895 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1896 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1897 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1898 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1899 | |
3110 | 1900 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1901 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1902 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1903 |
3053 | 1904 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1905 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1906 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1907 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1908 | |
3054 | 1909 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1910 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1911 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1912 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1913 |
2993 | 1914 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
1915 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1916 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1917 | |
1918 | |
1919 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1920 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1921 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1922 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1923 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1924 notification too. Hooray! | |
1925 | |
2978 | 1926 |
2961 | 1927 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 1928 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
1929 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
1930 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
1931 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
1932 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
1933 | |
1934 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
1935 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
1936 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
1937 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
1938 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
1939 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
1940 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
1941 next release ;) | |

1948 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
1949 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
1950 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
1951 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2019 Rob: Another release has come upon us. There were actually quite | |
2020 a number of things in ye old ChangeLog for this release. I don't | |
2021 feel like talking about them here, so you can read about them | |
2022 in ... you guessed it .. the ChangeLog. Oh, and if you're | |
2023 wondering about setting buddy icons, wait til 0.45 or | |
2024 use CVS shortly after this release. ;-) | |

2061 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
2062 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
2063 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |

2184 between AOL and Jabber and we caught a bullet during the crossfire. | |
2185 I think I just won the award for the most cliches used in one | |
2186 paragraph, as a matter of fact. ;-). | |
2187 | |
2188 ** Good luck to the Jabber guys in getting this resolved ** | |

1199 | 2299 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2300 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |

2304 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2305 |
1199 | 2306 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2307 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2308 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2309 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2310 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2311 |
1195 | 2312 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2313 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |

1195 | 2317 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2318 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2319 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2320 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2321 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2322 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2323 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2324 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2325 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

2498 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |

2501 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2502 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |

25 | 2526 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2527 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2528 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2529 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2530 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2531 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2532 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2533 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2534 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |

2562 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2563 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2564 you guys! | |
2565 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2566 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2567 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2568 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2569 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |

2571 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |

2573 0.9.8: | |
2574 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2575 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2576 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2577 HTTP proxy support. | |
2578 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2579 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2580 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |

0 | 2584 had this weekend in Auburn, AL went wonderfully :). yum yum yum. Hahahah. Oh |
2585 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2586 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2587 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2588 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2589 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2590 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2591 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2592 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |
2593 Oh well. Here's your release! Enjoy! | |
2594 By The Way, we have uploaded our party pictures to a website. | |
2595 http://www.dorky.net/gaim/party/ They are nothing spectacular but I hope you | |
2596 enjoy them! :). | |

2598 0.9.7: | |
2599 Well, boys and girls, it's that time again! Yup, time for the good | |
2600 release fairy to come bless us with her infinite wisdom and divine presence. | |
2601 Umm, yeah, something like that. Anyways, this release has several little | |
2602 "bad" network fixes (as Jim likes to say) and a couple touch-ups to a few | |
2603 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2604 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
2605 gaim not wainting to correctly save your password if you have an underscore | |
2606 in it. Thanks to w1za7d for pointing out the underscore problem. ' and \ | |
2607 have also been fixed in passwords. :o) | |
2608 | |
2609 0.9.6: | |
2610 Sorry about the little segfaulting bugs in the past release. Rob | |
2611 is stupid. :). Anyways, they have been patched up and a couple new features | |
2612 have been added. I hope you guys enjoy. | |
2613 | |
2614 0.9.5: | |
2615 Well we added a myriad of new features to this release. (A lot of | |
2616 small buggie fixes too.) If you need a detailed list just check out the | |
2617 ChangeLog. We now have a new webpage design and have added a FAQ to the | |
2618 distribution. Before coming to us with any problems please take a quick | |
2619 look through the FAQ to make sure we havent already covered your question. | |
2620 Also, thanks to our beloved Web Monkey, FlynOrange, we have all | |
2621 learned the true power of foam weapons, slinkies, and whoopie cushions. Hmm | |
2622 gotta love those pranks, eh? | |
2623 | |
2624 0.8.0: | |
2625 Well, just starting the NEWS file. I'll try to remember what's new | |
2626 from the last version. Hmmm. BIG code reorg. Import/export, buddy pounce | |
2627 among the major new features. Autoconf script too, which is a big win. | |
2628 Apologies to those who submitted patches which haven't made it in.. I | |
2629 promise, the next version! This code reorg took up a lot of my time, and I | |
2630 want to get it out there. | |
