	This means you _should_ be winning every release.  Anyways, I didn't
	finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that
	and then some should appear in 0.79.

	Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight.  Removing preferences
	was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, but
	I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still overwhelming.
	Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely my fault we keep
	failing to meet our three-week schedule.  Send your complaints this way.

	Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all
	of that fun stuff.  For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my
	new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet.  Oh yeah, and
	a big warm welcome to Tim!

0.77 (04/22/2004):
	Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now.  Hooray!
	WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and paste
	rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, Evolution
	OpenOffice).  Also, Novell has released their first release of their
	GroupWise plugin, included in this release.  Good stuff all around.

	Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay
	before the last release.  Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of
	improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If
	you weren't impressed before, you should be now!  This release also

	Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit.
	Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been
	lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the
	addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to
	DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach,
	and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing this.
	Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this release
	would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, with some
	assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all officially
	rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing more than 200
	bug reports this month alone.

	Christian: It's been a long time between the last release, but I think
	you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat stuff in this one.
	So many bug fixes and new features. It's enough to drive a wombat mad!
	The new WYSIWYG input is cool stuff. You'll either love it or hate it,

	Sean: I can't wait for everything to be core/ui split!

	Christian: This is a good release, and I don't think people will have
	too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions,
	and much progress has been made on the core/UI split. We should be
	done in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or
	three parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me
	again, as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility
	functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but
	may require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but
	some :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go.
	If you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load
	without it. Starting October 15th, the old protocol won't be supported
	anymore, so there's no reason to support the old one anymore.

	Herman: I bet some plugin authors have resorted to making voodoo dolls
	of Christian.  Nothing new for Win Gaim users other than a fix for
	missing aim buddy icons, and removal of gtk-wimp (until it matures).

	been a bit removed from Gaim development lately what with school getting
	tough and stuff, but the rest of the guys have really been doing great
	work without me.  Thanks, guys.

	Christian: I can't remember what I did here.. Think I'll take a quick
	look at the ChangeLog.... Okay, guess I was useless. That's okay, though,
	because I have some really cool stuff going into 0.63. Plugin authors
	will hate me for it. A rewrite of the plugins interface! This is actually
	a Good Thing (TM). Anyhow, upgrade to this release, and tell your friends.
	33 Gaim users can't be wrong!

	Luke: I didn't do much here besides the odd translation patch and a couple
	bug fix patches. This is primarily a bug fix release, and much needed at 
	that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been busy. 
	Hopeefully it will happen for 0.63. 

	Mark: Gaim is coming along quite beautimously.  I'm going to eat 
	my Pop-tarts now.

	Nathan: oh dot sixty two.  There are a lot of bugs fixed in this release,
	and one major new feature.  Our Jabber plugin now supports XHTML-IM.  In
	plain english, this means that you can now format your jabber messages,
	and other people will see the formatting.  GtkIMHTML still needs some
	work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that will come in time.
	That time would come sooner if my CS prof accepted "I was hacking on Gaim"
	as a valid excuse for an extension ;-)

0.61 (04/07/2003):
	Rob: Nathan commited his news first.  However, I'm cooler so I'm putting
	my entry above his.  Yeah, so, there were some DnD issues with 0.60. I 
	blame it on the rain. It was falling, falling.  I blame it on the
	faucet. It drips all night.

	Sean: I committed my news after Rob.  I'm cooler than Nathan (by far) but
	not as cool as Rob.  So I go here.  Actually, I didn't do anything since 
	0.60 other than commit some other peoples patches.  The one from Dave Camp
	is cool.  How 'bout this snow?  Isn't that crazy?  Oh, and thanks to
	everyone who wished me a happy birthday.

	Nathan: You want frequent releases?  You got 'em ;-)  Chip wrote some
	cool new pounce stuff, and things shouldn't get weird when you drag
	groups and buddies around.  It's bad enough having 1 of some of my
	buddies on my list, I definitely don't need duplicates.  Being that I

	Well, among some of the fixes is my new buddy pounce code! This adds new
	buddy pounce types, core/ui splitifies the code, and makes the dialog
	box spiffy. Yay frequent releases! Erm, I can't think of anything else
	cool to say here. Have fun, everyone!

	Luke: Okay, i'm probly the least cool, so I'll go last. I committed a few 
	patches from other people here, nothing earth shattering though. The biggest
	thing in this release is the group re-ordering bug fix, having that fixed 
	will make for fewwer questions. Get used to using releases people, we want
	to use cvs for actual development :-).

	Mark: I didn't want to write any news without actually having done 
	anything, so I fixed a meaningless compile warning.  Boo-yeah.

	Sean: Luke can't spell "fewer".  How un-cool is that?

	Nathan:  Happy birthday Sean!  Rob decided to let me start cleaning up
	after everyone, so here I am.  "sexy" is the only word that can be used
	to describe 0.60.  Prepare to be shocked and amazed.  /me raises his
	(shot) glass ;-)

	Christian: Geeeeeze this took a long time. Worth it though! Personally, I
	thought we'd all just give up on releases altogether and tell everybody
	just to grab CVS. I'm pretty happy with this release. I was able to
	contribute quite a bit to it. Makes me feel proud to be a gaim developer!
	I'm really looking forward to the future releases. I have some neat stuff
	planned. Yay, I'm still 19! Mmmm, Sierra Mist. Make me a sammich!

	Mark: Whoops, I started drinking a little earlier than I was supposed 
	to.  I guess I missed the memo.  Hmm, I ate at a restaurant somewhere, 
	I think it was at Snowshoe, and the menu had "sammiches" on it.  It was 
	pretty sweet.  I'd like to give a shout out to all the Gaim 

	So that's it. Have fun with it :)

0.11.0-pre11 (04/30/2001):
	Rob: I bought a big carton of juice today.  It is now 50% empty.
	A lot of the plugins got some new options and/or improvements. I
        have a headache right now, though, so I won't say much.  I'll let
	Eric talk :)

	Eric: I uh. I bought 72 cans of soda yesterday. It only cost $15
	or so. I figure I'll be through it in less than two weeks. A
	dollar a day on soda isn't so bad. For the fourth release in a row,

	Eric: Heh heh. 2 releases in one day. I'm impressed. Maybe one of these
times we'll actually get some of it right ;) Anyway, yeah. Just bug fixes in
this one.

	Rob: Yeah, we wouldn't be ourselves if we released it once and got it right, would we? :-)

0.9.16:
	Rob: Blah Blah Blah.

	Eric: Looks like Rob didn't have much to say, so I'll write something
