In that time, we've added a couple new - protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and - had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote - a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a - new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines - to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all - kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This - beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! + Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on + the behemoth that is 2.0.0.

Adding buddies + on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible + adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still + looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into + with handling of buddies. + In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the + current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any + suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. + Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should + be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. 1.5.0 (8/11/2005):
