[gaim-migrate @ 5937]
This is:
-AIM over OSCAR use Christian's new, kick ass
gaim_notify_email stuff for new mail notification. This
should be good, but it's kind of a pain to test. Let me
know if you have any problems
-Minor fix to the translation README
-2 minor changes to the doxygen of 2 major header files
(this means you'll have to recompile a lot of files :-) )
-If your global proxy setting is "No Proxy" and your global
proxy host is empty, but $http_proxy is set to something,
gaim used to switch your global proxy setting to "HTTP." It
no longer does this. This makes more sense to me. If you
disagree, please let me know--this is open to debate, and
what not. Also, the use of environmental proxy settings
will be changed a bit in the next day or two

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant ------------------------------------ General ------- - Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths - Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf - Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME") - Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to be included. - Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode. e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb"); Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. i.e. newline -> <CR><LF> Paths ----- - DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions. Doing the following will therefore break the windows build: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png"); it should be: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png"); - When writing out paths to .gaimrc, use wgaim_escape_dirsep. This is necessary because the Windows dir separator '\' is being used to escape characters, when paths are read in from the .gaimrc file. PLUGINS & PROTOS ---------------- - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your dynamic library. (E.G. connections) (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
