(15:54:57) rlaager: LSchiere: I think we're going to need a note about
this in the release notes or at least the FAQ, but probably the release
notes.
(15:55:18) Luke: we have Release Notes?
(15:55:46) rlaager: People seem to be quite touchy about their timestamps
and we broke with what we've been doing forever.
(15:55:58) Luke: oh I agree it'll need a faq entry
(15:56:12) Luke: lemme do that now before I forget

    +Q: What happened to my timestamps? Can I change them?
    +
    +A: As of 2.0.0, timestamps follow the system locale. This is a
    +significant difference from previous versions of gaim, and though it was
    +requested more than once, we know it will prove to be a controversial
    +decision. Fortunately for all of you out there, we also provide plugins
    +to change it.
    +<p>
    + As of 2.0.0, there are two plugins that relate to timestamps. One, the
    + "Timestamp" plugin, has existed for some time. It allows you to have
    + iChat style timestamps, though implemented to behave slightly
    + differently. The other plugin is new. The "Message Timestamps Format"
    + plugin allows you to manipulate your timestamps in a couple different
    + ways. Notably, you can restore the 1.x timestamp format, and/or cause
    + all timestamps to have dates in them.
