29 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should
30 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies
31 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible
32 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still
33 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into
34 with handling of buddies.
35 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the
36 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any
37 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up.
38 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should
39 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it.
