I
fixed
a
few
things
in
this
release
,
and
committed
some
patches
,
but
am
being
vague
because
I
can
't remember any specifics.
Hopefully
you
enjoy
this
,
and
happy
May
!
John
:
Wow
,
this
release
has
taken
forever
.
But
there
are
a
crapload
of
patches
that
have
been
committed
this
time
around
,
a
lot
of
them
by
me
.
The
infamous
MSN
bugs
are
still
outstanding
,
but
otherwise
this
release
has
brought
some
excellent
progress
.
Oh
,
and
we
dropped
the
hasn
't-quite-worked-in-ages QQ plugin, too. Enjoy!

Yet
another
release

This

we
finally
fixed
that
annoying
MSN
buddy
adding
problem
and
a
security

It
's release time again. This release contains a bunch of stuff
committed
from
Trac
.
This
is
another
"thank a patch writer"
release
.
Unfortunately
,
no
one
has
fixed
our
wonderful
MSN
issues
yet

There
is
a
tiny
security
fix
in
this

Just
a

security

Elliott

not

had
a
chance
to
work
on
the
MSN
breakage
that
's been present in
the

it

Elliott
:
OK
,
so
I
know
a
few
things
broke
with
the
last
release
,
and
it
's too bad we had to rush it for that silly certificate thing that
the
MSN
people
can
't configure properly. I'
ve
certainly
done
a
lot
of
small
fixes
this
time
,
but
it
's too bad we haven'
t
been
able
to
get
the
transfers
with
the
official
client
fixed
yet
.
I
promise
it
'll be in
the
next
release
(
barring
any
quick
security
issues
)
.
John
:
So
,
it
's been about a month since we last released. Again, we'
ve
assembled
a
bugfix
release
for
your
enjoyment
.
While
a
few
commonly
reported
bugs
remain
,
particularly
in
MSN
,
we
're working on it for the
next
release
.
In
the
meantime

Merry
Christmas

enjoy

Well
,
this
time
around
,
we
should
finally
have
the
certificate
issue
really
and
fully
fixed
for
all
of
you
MSN
users
.
Also
,
we
have
a
few
AIM
-
related
fixes
in
this
release
,
most
notably
the
fix
for
the
new
"SSL Handshake Failure"
message
some
of
you
got
after
upgrading
.
That
one
was
an
oversight
on

part

In
this
release
I
have
merged
two
branches
where
I
have
spent
most
of
my
time
in
the
last
months
,
the
MSNP16
and
SLP
-
rewrite
.
I
hope
you
all
will
enjoy
the
hability
to
be
connected
on
multiple
instances
at
the
same
time
.
I
also
hope
that
the
SLP
rewrite
fix
a
lot
of
old
bugs
that
we
have
in
the
tracker
.
I
am
really
happy
with
this
rewrite
because
there
was
untoched
code
from
almost
5
years
ago
.
I
hope
you
like
this
release
!
John
:
In
this
release

we
give
you
some

to
fix
certificate
validation
for

This

at

Hey
,
I
'm first! How did that happen?! Maybe because of the
interesting
changes
in
this
release
.
Sure
there
were
quite
a
few
bug
fixes
,
but
I
know
what
you
've all been waiting for is the direct
connections
in
MSN
.
Trust
me
,
it
's really really fast!!
John
:
Whoa
,
short
turnaround
for
us

This
is
just
17
days

our
previous

This
fixes
a
number
of
bugs
that
you
've all been
reporting
a
ton
of
duplicate
tickets
about
and
even
gives
you
the
new
direct

Marcus

Quite
a
bit
quicker
to
get
this
release
out

compared
with
the
previous
one

Fixes
a
number

bugs

I

please

users

And
a

Finally
time
for
a
new

seems
like
it
took

this

But
then
again

there
are
some
new
features
in
there
,
like
file
transfer
preview
(
thumbnails

support
(
only
on

far

plus
a

of
bug
fixes

Paul

Yay
,
a
new
release
!
I
don
't think I added very much useful to
this
release
,
other
than
fixing
a
paste
bug
from
Chrome
(
no
weird
characters
appended
to
the
end

Jorge

This
is
my
first
NEWS

I
'm not sure I added something nice
to
this
release

I
know
it
took
a
lot
of
time
to
bring
this
one
out
,
however
I
'm really excited by this release. I hope everyone
likes
the
new
features
this
release
brings
.
Elliott
:
This
release
took
so
long
,
I
had
to
go
check
the
ChangeLog
just
to
see
what
happened
.
I
doubt
many
people
will
notice
,
but
we
dropped
support
for
many
old
things
,
like
GTK
+<
2.10
and
MSNP9
.
In
more
exciting
news
,
we
have
file
transfer
previews
on
MSN
,
and
support
for
setting
moods
on
ICQ
and
XMPP
(
which
has
been
waiting
forever

It
's release time again. Lots of bug fixes this time around, as
well
as
a
new
protocol
plugin
developed
and
maintained
by
the
MXit
folks
folks

Elliott

I
also
did
a

long

I
don

remember

But
I
do
know
the
MSN
servers
gave
us
a
little
bit
of
trouble
this
time
around
,
forgetting
people
's friendly
names

Nothing
too
problematic

just
a
touch
annoying

Also
,
we
've got
a
nice
new

You
can
thank

that
mostly

with
a
couple

tweaks

me

displaying
unicode

also

it
's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code

comes
new
bugs

The
cadre

relentless
developers

work

I

they

Well
now
,
just
as
Mark
said
,
there
was
a
lot
of
new
stuff
that
probably
came
up
with
tons
of
bugs
.
So
I
can
't say I wrote anything
super

awesome
,

I
definitely
fixed

of

Wow
,
four
straight
releases
that
I
'm the first to NEWS on. This
is
getting
kinda
scary
!
I
'm beginning to wonder who else actually does
anything
around
here
!
(
Just
kidding
,
of
course
.
)
LOTS
of
new
features
and
a
crapton
of
bugfixes
this
release
.
There
should
pretty
much
be
something
for
everybody
.
A
great
example
of
this
is
the
ton
of
Yahoo
changes
that
have
happened
thanks
to
our
SoC
student
from
2008
,
Sulabh
Mahajan
.
Among
his
massive
improvements
are
the
ability
to
add
MSN
buddies
by
adding
them
as
"msn/user@domain.tld"
and
peer
-
to
-
peer
file
transfers
.
Of
course
,
history
shows
we
can
't please everyine, so I'
m
sure
I
'll see a complaint or five thousand in trac. Enjoy, though!
Marcus
:
This
is
my
first
news
!
It
's been quite a few microreleases this
time
,
but
now
we
're finally at 2.6.0. I suppose the most anticipated
new
feature
in
this
release
is
the
voice
and
video
support
,
thanks
to
Mike
's heroic work. I'
ve
managed
to
slip
in
a
few
features
too
,
like
in
-
band
bytestream
file
transfers
as
a
fallback
on
XMPP
and
idle
time
reporting
on
XMPP
.
Enjoy

Paul
:
This
is
my
first
news
,
too
!
This
release
has
definitely
been
a
long
time
coming
;
hopefully
it
won
't disappoint since we'
ve
closed
over
200
tickets
.
Among
other
things
,
Tobias
Markmann
's GSoC project from
last
year
was
merged
,
which
means
we
now
support
BOSH
(
XMPP
connections
over
HTTP
),
and
Andrei
Mozzhuhin
contributed
an
XMPP
Service
Discovery
Browser
.
Also
,
thanks
to
Bernmeister
for
poking
(
at
least
)
several
hundred
old
tickets
!
Mike
:
Ditto

This
is
my
first
news
as
well

I
have
a
feeling
this
is
getting
repetitive
at
this
point
,
but
voice
and
video
support
is
finally
here
!
Thanks
to
the
rest
of
the
Pidgin
team
,
Farsight
2
,
and
GStreamer
developers
for
making
this
possible
!

Hey
,
this
is

firs
...
Wait
,
no
it
isn

out

So
have
you
heard
about
this
voice
and
video
thing
?
Unfortunately
,
not
quite
ready
for
all
protocols
,
but
it
's getting
there
.
MSN
gained
support
for
receiving
voice
clips
at
least
,
and
finally
we
have
Ink
receiving
capabilities
too
.
Thanks
to
the
guys
who
wrote
the
original
patch
.
And
finally
,
MSN
no
longer
has
over
a
100

to

something

none

'm repeating myself, but there are some more MSN
fixes
that
should
make
things
better
behaved
at
login
as
well
,
and
maybe
you
'll stop getting some of those annoying errors (though not all
are
fixed
yet
)
.
Some
other
bugfixes
,
plus
the
craziness
that
is
the
libxml
"structured error handler"
make
up
the
rest
of
this
release
.

Well
,
yet
another
release
with
bug
fixing
and
patches
.
Hopefully
one
of
the
fixed
bugs
is
one
that
irritated
you
.
Also
,
thank
Dimmuxx
for
spending
far
too
much
time
working
on
ICQ
this
release
.
Elliott
:
Lots
and
lots
of
MSN
bugfixes
again
(
I
hope
they
're fixed, at
least
)
.
I
think
we
finally
have
OCS
/
Yahoo
!/
federated
buddies
working
now
.
And
there
should
be
some
workarounds
for
some
server
things
that
may
or
may
not
have
been
our
fault
(
like
buddies
on
Allow
+
Block
)
which
should
make
general
usage
a
bit
smoother

Well
,
we
fixed
a
few
bugs
for
you
this
time
around
,
I
applied
a
few
patches
,
and
we
've dealt with what feels like a TON of tickets
about
two
very
common
issues
.
Feels
like
time
for
a
release
to
me
.
Etan
:
My
first
NEWS
in
quite
a
while
and
I
don
't have much to say. I
haven
't been too active lately and I'
m
hoping
that
won
't be the case
going
forward
.
I
managed
to
get
in
a
few
perl
fixes
and
some
UI
language
tweaks
this
release
.
My
plan
is
to
work
on
some
of
the
issues
pointed
out
by
mpt
(
during
his
expert
review
of
pidgin
a
little
while
back

It

bugs

Enjoy

Kevin
:
I
didn
't do much of anything this release, but Mark and
John
must
be
commended
for
their
tireless
efforts
to
fix
bugs
and
approve
patches
,
especially
in
areas
of
Pidgin
that
have
not
usually
received
much
attention
.
Lots
of
changes
have
been
made
,
so
definitely
check
the
ChangeLog
to
see
what
's new.
John
:
It
feels
like
it
's been an age or two since we last released,
and
I
think
it
's well worth the wait. Mark has sunk more time into
MSN
and
MySpace
IM
this
release
than
any
sane
person
should
be
allowed
to
,
and
I
've sunk more time into patches than I care to
admit
.
By
my
count
,
our
ChangeLog
has
58
bullet
points
(
!
)
and
we
've
closed
85
tickets
specifically
for
this
release
.
Enjoy
!

Elliott

Well
,
I
can
't blame the server for this release taking so long
but
that
's just how it worked out. A few interesting MSN changes this
time
.
Hopefully
,
federated
&
Yahoo

buddies
will
work
for
you
,
but
I
'm
not
yet
certain
it
's ready. Mark made so many fixes, I'
m
not
even
sure
I
recognize
everything
anymore

but
hopefully
that
'll make things less

After
a
bit
of
a
struggle
with
our
services
,
which
put
this
release
off
for
an
unfortunate
length
of
time
,
we
're
ready
for
another
bugfix
release
for
your
bug

er
?
)
messaging

.
Sadrul
:
Despite
our
best
efforts
,
this
release
got
delayed
by
a
couple
of
weeks
.
But
here
it
is
!
It
is
mostly
a
bug
fix
release
,
with
a
couple
of
important
fixes
,
e
.
g
.
fix
for
the
Yahoo

disconnect
problem

Also
,
welcome
our
newest
Crazy
Patch
Writer
,
Marcus
Lundblad
,
who
,
among
various
other
fixes
,
has
implemented
custom
smileys
for
the
XMPP
protocol
,
included
in
this
release
.
Enjoy

Stu

I
guess
this
is
the
time
of
year
for
server
migrations
,
and
I
've just about had enough of them. Fortunately Pidgin is still fun,
and
this
release
should
be
superb
.
John
:
Although
our
services
were
down
for
quite
some
time
,
we
didn
't
lose
any
data
,
except
perhaps
some
mail
that
would
have
failed
to
make
it
to
us
.
Overall
,
the
only
major
effect
it
had
was
to
delay
this
release
far
longer
than
we
expected
.
Hopefully
the
bugfixes
make
you
happy
!
Elliott
:
This
release
took
a
while
,
but
that
was
due
to
an
unfortunate
server
snafu
.
I
didn
't have much to do with it, but hopefully the new
servers
will
help
us
out
a
bit
.
Anyway
,
mostly
bug
-
fixes
this
time
.
Nothing
spectacular
,
unless
you
happen
to
suffer
from
one
of
those
bugs
.
Oh
,
and
don
't forget, the "Has you" tooltip is back!

This
release
is
mainly
a
bug
-
fix
release
.
It
solves
a
few
known
crashes
and
updates
some
of
our
artwork
.
Google
's Summer of
code
recently
finished
up
.
Some
of
our
students
are
still
working
on
their
branches
and
none
have
been
merged
into
released
code
yet
.
Look
for
some
of
those
results
to
show
up
in
Pidgin
releases
over
the
coming
months
.
Elliott

I
'm just commenting so Kevin wouldn'
t
be
the
only
one
in
NEWS
and
no
-
one
else
seems
to
want
to
.
Anyway
,
there
's a couple MSN login
fixes
,
so
try
it
out
.
The
contact
list
problems
might
still
be
around
,
but
you
can
probably
find
a
workaround
in
trac
.
And
there
's a tooltip
fix
for
our
AIM
friends
,
not
that
I
had
anything
to
do
with
it
(
except
closing
many
many
duplicate
tickets
)

Lots
of
good
stuff
in
this
release
.
Lots
of
people
have
worked
very
hard
on
the
updated
MSN
protocol
,
and
it
's finally time to bring
it
to
the
world
!
There
are
myriad
bugfixes
,
including
some
important
ones
so
you
should
be
sure
to
update
.
Hylke
:
Finally
MSNP15
support
.
To
celebrate
this
I
refreshed
a
lot
of
the
smilies
used
in
the
protocol
and
added
the
long
awaited
indispensable
bunny
icon
.
I
think
this
is
one
of
those
releases
that
will
make
a
lot
of
users
happy
,
especially
MSN
users
.
Elliott
:
Oh
look
,
my
first
NEWS

Well
anyway
,
with
that
new
MSNP15
support
,
this
release
is
set
up
to
be
a
huge
success
and
a
total
flop
all
at
the
same
time
.
Here
's hoping it'
s
the
"huge success"
one
for
you
.
Those
icon
changes
that
Hylke
made
,
while
minor
,
really
make
things
look
a
little
cleaner
,
I
think
.
Oh
yea
,
did
I
mention
that
MSNP15
stuff
?
Mark
:
Speaking
of
MSNP15
,
we
'd like to welcome Elliott Sales de Andrade
as
a
full
fledged
developer

He
took
the
last
few
strides
mushing
the
new
MSN
code
into
shape
.
Then
he
decided
that
wasn
't enough and started
doing
other
great
stuff

release
took
what

forever
to
get
out

door
,
I
think
it
's well worth the wait, especially for Yahoo! users.
This
release
serves
up
some
fixes

adds
file

:
Another
big
maintenance
release
.
Again
,
about
100
tickets
were
resolved
in
this
release
,
and
they
keep
coming
in
.
Lots
of
bug
fixes
,
some
minor
icon
adjustements
,
hopefully
we
addressed
some
ICQ
internationalization
issues
,
and
support
for
Bonjour
on
Windows
!
Our
next
release
will
be
2.1
.
0
,
and
will
come
with
some
great
new
features
.
Stu
:
I
think
we
're gradually getting the hang of this 3 week thing
again
.
This
release
includes
yet
more
bug
fixes
.
I
'd also like to
specifically
thank
Pekka
Riikonen
for
the
patch
to
enable
using
SILC
Toolkit
1.1
with
Pidgin
/
libpurple
that
is
included
in
this
release

Three
weeks
later
,
as
scheduled

It
is
so
nice
to
have
regular
,
frequent
,
releases
again
!
This
is
a
bugfix

;
We
have
fixed
over
100
issues
reported
to
us

Thanks
to
everyone
for
their
great
work
,
and
look
for
the
next
release
in
another
three
weeks
!
Stu
:
Lots
'o'
fixes
in
this
.
I
don
't know how you users find so many
things
for
us
to
fix
.
24
hours
in
a
day
(
sadly
)
.
24
is
divisible
by
the
sum
of
its
digits
and
by
their
product
.
It
is
the
smallest
composite
number
,
the
product
of
whose
divisors
is
a
cube
.
Luke
:
I
requested
that
we
have
a
bug
fix
release
,
and
so
we
have
!
Many
,
though
unfortunately
not
all
,
of
the
reports
that
have
been
submitted
to
us
since
2.0
.
0
have
been
fixed
now
,
and
so
you
should
all
have
a
much
more
stable
experience
with
this
release
.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
many
users
who
have
resubmitted
their
reports
as
we
close
out
the
old
Source
Forge
bug
tracker
.
If
all
goes
well
,
your
report
will
get
the
attention
it
deserves
as
we
continue
to
work
on
Pidgin
,
Finch
,
and
libpurple
.
Nathan
:
A
ton
of
fixes
have
gone
into
this
release
.
The
feedback
we
've gotten on 2.0.0 has been incredible. Hopefully we'
ve
resolved
most
of
the
critical
issues
with
2.0
.
1.
If
we
haven
't, I'
m
sure
our
wonderful
users
will
let
us
hear
about
it
.
I
seem
to
be
forgetting
something
...
oh
,
right
,
I
haven
't promised any cool new
features
in
the
next
release
!
So
,
I
promise
at
least
one
cool
new
feature
in
the
next
release
...
you
just
might
have
to
adjust
your
definition
of
'cool'
to
get
it
.
Etan
:
Perl
plugins
now
have
access
to
almost
all
of
the
savedstatus
API
functions
.
I
also
removed
a
couple
of
the
preferences
from
the
Pidgin
GTK
+
Theme
Control
plugin
which
should
help
many
of
the
people
for
whom
the
configuration
dialog
size
was
a
problem
.
The
removed
preferences
no
longer
had
the
effects
they
were
added
to
have
anyway
.

It
's real exciting to finally release Pidgin 2.0.0! I'
m
really
proud
of
all
the
work
we
've all done. I'
m
pumped
.
And
,
while
I
could
go
on
about
all
the
amazing

that

what
I
'm really excited about is getting back to a regular,
rapid

of
active

open
development

unhindered
by
legal
quandries
.
Huge
thanks
to
everyone
involved
.
Luke
:
We
have
finally
managed
to
get
2.0
.
0
out
the
door
,
after
nearly
but
not
quite
2
years
of
effort
and
fustration
.
No
one
regrets
more
than
I
that
we
were
unable
to
make
any
of
betas
3
-
6
the
actual
release
.
But
at
long
last
,
it
is
out
,
and
life
can
return
to
a
more
normal
state
.
There
were
many
tough
calls
to
be
made
in
the
last
2
years
.
Not
everyone
has
agreed
with
the
resulting
decisions
,
that
is
un
-
fortunate
,
but
unavoidable
.
Suffice
it
to
say
that
despite
what
some
users
appear
to
think
,
a
ton
of
thought
,
argument
,
discussion
,
and
experimentation
has
gone
into
this
release
.
This
release
builds
on
many
years
of
experience
,
both
as
developers
writing
the
code
,
users
using
it
,
and
in
supporting
other
users
.
I
hope
that
those
who
download
and
install
this
will
give
it
a
fair
shot
,
and
attempt
to
avoid
knee
-
jerk
reactions
.
Evan
:
One
small
step
for
bird
,
one
giant
leap
for
birdkind
...
except
this
is
hardly
one
small
step
.
A
lot
more
has
changed
from
Gaim
1.5
.
0
than
just
the
name
.
Pidgin
has
a
*
very
*
attractive
new
look
,
a
whole
new
member
of
the
family
(
Finch
,
formerly
gaim
-
console
)
has
been
born
,
and
libpurple
has
come
into
its
own
as
a
solid
,
full
-
featured
library
powering
the
greatest
IM
clients
around
.
Bugs
were
fixed
and
features
were
added
by
the
hundreds
(
thousands
?
)
since
the
last
major
release
,
all
while
improving
performance
and
resisting
feature
creep
.
As
Luke
said
,
a
ton
of
thought
and
effort
has
gone
into
Pidgin
2.0
.
0
;
I
'm proud to have played a part.
Stu
:
We
did
it
!
finally
,
we
have
2.0
.
0.
It
's been a long time coming,
but
there
's a great deal of goodness here. When I say a long time, I'
m
not
kidding
-
it
's been 972 days since we branched off "oldstatus"
(
aka
1.
x
)
.
The
early
Greeks
were
uncertain
as
to
whether
2
was
a
number
at
all
(
or
if
we
'd ever make this release) - it has a beginning
and
an
end
but
no
middle
(
much
like
our
unfortunately
quiet
development
period
)
.
2
is
the
first
prime
number
and
the
only
even
prime
.
2
is
also
the
first
deficient
number
(
oh
well
)
.
There
are
only
10
types
of
people
in
the
world
-
those
who
like
our
new
names
and
those
who
do
not
.
Enjoy
!
Richard
:
I
'm very glad that we'
ve
finally
gotten
2.0
.
0
released
and
I
look
forward
to
returning
to
a
more
normal
development
schedule
.
Again
,
a
big
thanks
to
everyone
who
helped
in
any
way
to
get
things
where
they
are
today
.
Congratulations
everyone
!

Daniel
:
There
has
been
a
fair
amount
of
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
due
to
the
delays
in
getting
this
beast
out
.
I
'm really happy that it
is
done
.
I
'm also very happy with what we'
re
releasing
-
I
think
it
is
far
more
stable
,
packed
with
useful
features
and
,
dare
I
say
,
prettier
than
any
previous
release

Sean
:
Beta
7.
The
final
beta
.
A
few
major
changes
from
beta6
.
For
starters
,
we
have
some
new
names
.
That
's pretty cool. We have a new
logo
,
to
go
along
with
it
.
And
a
lot
of
great
icons
!
As
Nathan
mentions
below
,
we
're totally back in the open now, having a signed agreement
from
AOL
that
puts
us
in
the
clear
.
We
all
really
regret
having
to
go
completely
dark
for
so
long
.
Anyway
,
unlike
betas1
-
6
,
which
were
of
normal
release
quality
,
this
one
is
actually
beta
quality
.
There
are
a
few
significant
known
issues
,
and
a
lot
of
changes
that
need
a
lot
of
real
-
world
testing
.
So
,
if
you
'd like to help us out, give it a
whirl
,
and
let
us
know
if
you
run
into
any
major
issues
.
Nathan
:
So
,
the
secret
is
out
now
.
We
renamed
to
Pidgin
.
I
'd just
like
to
apologize
to
everyone
we
've had to keep in the dark for the
last
however
-
many
months
.
I
know
it
looked
like
development
slowed
to
a
crawl
,
but
in
reality
we
've been working pretty hard to get
2.0
.
0
out
the
door
,
without
getting
into
any
legal
trouble
.
I
realize
that
if
we
were
some
big
corporation
,
we
'd be getting flamed
about
this
secrecy
for
months
.
Please
try
to
remember
that
we
're
just
a
bunch
of
geeks
who
were
scared
of
legal
stuff
(
well
,
at
least
I
was
.
Scared
,
that
is
)
.
The
bottom
line
is
that
we
're out in the
open
again
,
and
fully
plan
to
stay
that
way
.
We
're also opening up
the
mail
archives
from
the
secretive
past
few
months
.
You
can
scan
through
them
if
you
want
,
or
I
can
summarize
.
"Are the lawyers done
yet
?
No
.
Now
?
No
.
How
about
now
?
No
.
" All lawyer jokes aside,
I
'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the '
t
's and dotting
all
the
lowercase
'j'
s
to
get
us
the
deal
we
got
.
Anyways
,
thanks
for
your
patience
,
and
on
to
2.0
.

Gary
:
Well
my
silence
,
and
our
silence
has
ended
.
Finally
the
name
change
is
over
and
done
with
and
we
can
go
back
to
a
normal
dev
cycle
.
Now
if
I
can
just
get
myself
back
onto
a
normal
dev
cycle
,
but
that
's another story all together.
Ethan
:
Not
to
be
too
"me-too"
,
but
I
have
to
say
that
I
'm really
excited
about
the
project
's new name and identity, and glad to be
out
of
the
legal
mess
.
We
're pushing beta 7 with all of the
branding
and
organizational
changes
that
have
been
going
on
for
the
last
few
months
,
so
there
are
likely
to
be
some
snags
--
please
help
us
out
by
trying
beta
7
,
searching
for
any
bugs
you
find
in
the
bug
tracker
at
https

.
im
/
,
and
documenting
them
if
they
are
unknown
or
you
can
provide
new
information
.
Help
us
make
2.0
.
0

release

be
remembered

I
'd like to give huge thanks to all of the

made
this
transition

go

it

I
'd like to extend a
special
thanks
to
Sean

for
leading
us
through
the
legal

paperwork
and
overhead
that

here

hopefully
nothing
major

hope
this
will
be
our
last
beta
before
we
release
the
final
version

As
before
,
please
shower
us
in
feedback

Richard
:
I
'm proud to say a lot of bugs have been squashed in this
version
.
If
you
filed
a
bug
against
beta1
,
please
test
to
see
if
it
's fixed now and update your bug report accordingly (by either
closing
it
or
setting
the
version
to
2.0

0
beta2

.
I
'm also looking
for
someone
who
uses
Gaim
on
MacOS
X
to
test
a
patch
for
me
before
I
can
commit
it
.
See

Etan
:
So
I
did
a
bunch
of
work
on
the
perl
plugin
since
beta1
,
so
anyone
who
uses
perl
plugins
would
do
well
to
expect
some
things
to
need
updating
(
I
'm not certain everything works yet, so please send me
any
reports
of
things
that
don
't). Most of the work was correcting
some
namespace
issues
,
but
I
also
improved
the
support
for
perl
plugins
having
plugin_pref
frames
,
and
plugin
actions
.
Multiple
perl
plugins
can
now
have
plugin_pref
frames
at
the
same
time
,
and
every
perl
plugin
can
have
multiple
plugin
actions
now
.
Like
Mark
said
above
,
let
us
know
how
this
beta
works
out

Sean
:
I
think
Nathan
sums
everything
up
really
well
below
.
There
's still
a
bunch
we
want
to
add
(
and
remove
)
before
the
official
release
,
but
we
really
want
to
start
getting
feedback
about
what
's good and what'
s
not
.
So
,
please
,
be
vocal
about
this
beta
!
Nathan
:
15
months
since
we
branched
oldstatus
,
and
started
working
on
the
behemoth
that
is
2.0
.
0.
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
!
Gary
:
Finally
we
have
a
beta
.
There
are
a
lot
of
new
goodies
,
including
quite
a
few
summer
of
code
projects
that
couldn
't get added into the
oldstatus
branch
because
API
changes
.
We
also
have
a
new
mono
plugin
loader
for
even
more
plugin
fun
.
Richard
:
Thanks
to
all
who
wrote
patches
(
big
or
small
)
for
this
beta
.
Tim
:
Well
here
it
is
,
the
first
beta
.
There
's a lot of cool things in
here
,
but
not
all
of
them
are
finished
or
debugged
.
But
then
that
's
why
it
's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and
there
's a new status selector. There'
s
smooth
scrolling
on
incoming
messages
as
well
.
Our
Crazy
Patch
Writers
have
been
doing
a
good
job
too
,
it
seems
like
we
're never lacking some patches in the
tracker
to
review
.
Etan
:
I
know
I
'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should
talk
about
here
so
I
'll just go with the stuff I remember. 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
.
Luke
:
pretty
much
everything
important
has
been
said
,
so
this
is
going
to
be
rather
repetative
.
This
is
a
beta
folks
,
so
it
will
have
bugs
.
It
will
crash
unexpectedly
.
Perhaps
even
frequently
.
Use
it
at
your
peril
.
But
do
use
it
(
though
you
might
want
to
back
up
~/.
gaim
first
),
and
let
us
know
what
needs
to
be
fixed
.
Mark
:
Yay
.
Stu
:
Wow
!
Siege
:
Sametime
accounts
created
with
gaim
-
meanwhile
should
merge
over
for
use
in
the
beta
just
fine
.
Some
of
the
familiar
settings
regarding
the
buddy
list
are
gone
,
so
I
recommend
backing
up
your
Sametime
blist
before
getting
down
and
crazy
.
Have
fun
,
and
happy
early
Decemberween
!
Daniel
:
Enjoy
!
In
the
hopes
that
this
prevents
someone
pain
...
do
not
use
Glib
/
GTK
+
2.8
.
x
with
Wingaim
-
it
will
not
work
.
We
're looking into the
problem
and
hope
to
have
it
resolved
before
the
final
release

the

some
pretty
important
security
updates

Stu

Buy
Sean
's book. He obviously needs the money. Other than that
we
fixed
some
bugs
with
this
release
(
I
don
't think we did much else).
SoC
students
are
doing
lots
of
cool
stuff
which
we
'll hopefully be
able
to
bring
you
in
a
future
release

Nathan
:
I
've continued my streak of doing nothing useful lately.
However
,
I
've now got a brand-spanking-new DSL line, so I might
actually
get
to
contribute
soon
.
One
way
or
another
I
'd like
to
get
HEAD
into
a
more
useable
state
in
the
next
month
or
two
.
Also
,
like
Stu
said
,
buy
Sean
's book. I'
ve
been
reading

fixing

Mark

The
last
month
or
four
we
've promoted a bunch of the Gaim
Crazy
Patch
Writers
to
developers
,
so
there
is
now
an
even
larger
team
of
brilliant
and
amazingly
sexy
committers
working
around
the
globe
for
your
instant
messaging
pleasure
.
Also
,
we
have
what
I
believe
to
be
our
first
contribution
from
a
Summer
of
Code
student
in
this
release
:
Jonathan
Clark
enabled
the
sending
of
files
to
certain
ICQ
users
.
Support
is
still
a
bit
rough
,
but
he
'll be working on it throughout the summer.
Luke
:
Exciting
times
this
summer
as
our
Summer
of
Code
interns
start
their
projects
.
This
is
mostly
a
bug
fix
release
,
with
the
ICQ
file
transfer
that
Mark
mentioned
and
some
buddy
icon
work
being
the
only
real
new
code
.
Hence
the
extra
week
delay
.
A
big
thanks
to
our
translators
who
keep
churning
out
updates
even
when
we
give
them
short
notice
as
well
.
Enjoy

It
's been a while since I'

done
one
of
these
.
Welcome
to
Gaim

.

,
"New Hyde Park."
This
is
,
again
,
another
bugfix
release
but
it
comes
with
two
keen
announcements
.
First
,
I
'd like to welcome
Christopher
O
'Brien to the Gaim team. He has integrated his work on
the
Meanwhile
project
into
Gaim
,
ensuring
that
Gaim
2.0
.
0
will
include
Sametime
support
.
Also
,
we
're participating in Google'
s
Summer

you
all

Luke

This
release
fixes
SILC
for
multiple
accounts
.
HOWEVER
,
you
may
lose
your
buddy
list
(
for
SILC
only
)
upgrading
.
This
is
rather
unavoidable
as
the
previous
code
did
not
keep
track
of
which
account
each
buddy
belonged
to
.
Stu
:
I
'm glad we'
re
finally
getting
this
out
,
if
fixes
a
number
of
bugs
ranging
from
minor
to
not
so
minor
.
I
'd also like to welcome Gary to
the
team
-
he
's done a great job with Guifications, I'
m
sure
he
'll do
good
stuff
here
too
.
Gary
:
Well
I
got
pretty
much
nothing
done
for
this
release
.
Although
I
do
have
quite
a
few
things
in
the
works
that
will
come
to
fruition
when
I
find
some
more
free
time

thanks
to
Robert
McQueen

Stu

Nathan
,
Ethan
,
and
everyone
else
who
has
helped
with
this
effort

Maybe
next
time
we
can
get
a
decent
chance
to
fix
the
problems
*
before
*
they
go
public
to
have
a
normal
release
process

Nathan
:
Jabber
got
some
updates
this
release
(
finally
)
.
I
've got
more
planned
,
but
simply
haven
't had the time to anything about it.

Happy
St

Patrick
's Day all. Sean scheduled a release for
today
,
we
'll see if we can pull it off. :-) This release
features
somewhat
more
than
just
bug
fixes
,
some
improvements
have
been
made
to
the
conversation
API
which
may
affect
plugin
developers
.
Yahoo
users
should
also
thank
Tim
and
Bleeter
for
their
efforts
.
Etan
:
I
'm going to NEWS since I actually did something this time.
Jabber
will
allow
you
to
unsubscribe
to
someone
's presence
without
logging
out
and
in
again
,
this
does
break
seeing
yourself
on
your
buddy
list
,

hopefully
we
'll fix that again for the
next
release

Don
Seiler

and
Warren
Togami
:
some
packagers
who

Also
thanks
to
our
own
Stu
who
found
and
destroyed
an
MSN
crash
and
an
HTML
parsing
error
Luke
:
Early
release
to
handle
the
MSN
and
HTML
crashes
,
as
well
as
the
glib
crash
.
Maybe
that
makes
up
for
having
had
a
4
week
period
before
the
last
release
.
This
one
should
be
the
nice
stable
release
we
meant

Stu

I
fixed

Another
Bug
fix
release
.
This
one
featuring
a
fix
to
the
HTTP
Method
for
MSN
users
and
other
MSN
fixes
.
A
big
thanks
to
Stu
and
Felipe
Contreras
for
those
.
Stu
also
spent
a
long
time
in
valgrind
and
so
this
brings
you
a
Gaim
release
with
fewer
memory
leaks
.
This
release
is
on
time
primarily
because
I
want
to
see
the
MSN
fixes
make
it
into
Debian
and
Fedora
before
freezes
.
Expect
further
bug
fix
only
releases
to
come
at
longer
intervals
,
at
Mark
's request.
Daniel
:
This
is
my
first
NEWS
!
(
YaY
)
I
didn
't really do too much for
this
release
.
There
are
a
few
bugfixes
,
mostly
wingaim
stuff
.
Oh
,
and
I
like
the
new
XP
System
Tray
icons
.
Sean
:
I
'm down here today. I haven'
t
really
been
paying
too
much
attention
to
these
boring
bugfix
releases
,
but
I
'd like to thank
David
and
welcome
him
to
the
team
.
I
'd also like to thank Steven
and
Nathan
from
Silverorange
who
redid
the
webpage
.
Tim
:
Another
bug
fix
release
.
I
didn
't really fix any bugs, so
I
didn
't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now
work
with
mozilla
-
nss
,
if
anyone
has
that
,
and
not
gnutls11
.
(
It
works
with
either
gnutls11
or
mozilla
-
nss
,
but
not
gnutls10
)
I
started
working
on
Gaim
-
vv
again
though
,
and
I
merged
someone
's
custom
msn
smiley
patch
into
the
2.0
.
0
tree
,
so
expect
good
things
whenever
that
's released (no, don'
t
try
it
now
,
you
won
't like it).
Oh
and
welcome
to
the
team
Daniel
.
Of
course
,
he
was
already
on
my
Gaim
-
vv
team
.
Stu
:
Welcome
Daniel
!
you
've done some good stuff already. Felipe did some
good
work
on
MSN
yet
again
,
so
you
can
all
use
the
HTTP
method
now
.
I
didn
't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and
a
couple
of
easy
bug
fixes
from
the
bug
tracker
.
Hopefully
Ethan
will
get
well
soon
,
so
he
can
get
back
to
merging
patches
and
fixing
things
.
Nathan
:
I
think
I
made
some
Jabber
fixes
,
at
least
one
of
which
is
ChangeLog
'd. I will continue to make empty promises about new features,
especially
for
2.0

twist

Everyone
thank
Ethan

implementing
a
fall

encoding

it
has
been
much
requested

Much

Miah
Gregory

memory
leaks
have
been
fixed

Felipe

fixed
a
good
number
of
other

didn
't do much except apply these guys fixes. It'

Christian
made

Btw

we
have

protocol
icon
,
and
I
think
you
'll love it.
Tim
:
I
made
Gaim
binary
relocatable
this
release
,
so
Gaim
can
find
itself
if
it
gets
lost
,
and
I
'm going to try to make autopackages
for
this
release
,
if
the
autopackage
guys
release
their
new
version
soon
like
they
're talking. I also "fixed" a scrolling bug, by
realizing
it
was
all
Gentoo
's fault. The IRC encoding thing Ethan
did
is
pretty
nice
,
no
more
encoding
error
messages
!
Ethan
:
Rumor
has
it
that
I
did
some
work
this
release
,
but
it
's just
that
,
a
rumor
.
I
think
Luke
started
it
.
I
did
lay
the
hammer
down
on
bogus
word
wrapping
in
the
NEWS
,
so
you
can
thank
me
for
that

I
'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug
tracker
,
but
it
turns
out
that
the
only
way
to
achieve
that
is
to
actually
_fix_
the
bugs
.
So
I
fixed
a
couple
,
and
then
sneaked
some
patches
out
of
the
patch
tracker
to
fix
some
others
.
Sadly
the
bug
tracker
was
not
significantly
affected
,
maybe
if
I
learn
C
I
'll be able to make more of an
impact
.
Luke
:
Don
't let Stu fool you, he has done a marvelous job on this release,
and
deserves
a
lot
of
credit
for
it
.
And
a
number
of
those
bug
fixes
are
critical
ones
that
he
discovered
and
fixed
himself
.
So
go
update
.
Now

I

Sean
:
So
,
if
you
're playing along at home, you'
re
aware
that
incrementing
the
micro
version
number
means
that
the
API
has
not
changed
at
all
.
Although
that
itself
is
insignificant
to
most
everyone

plugin
developers
,
but
users
won
't find too
many
significant
changes
.
Consult
ChangeLog

We
're currently
branched
for
some
major
changes
,
so
expect
a
really

Nothing
much
to
see
here
,
some
bug
fixes
.
Most
of
the
work
is
going
towards
the
2.0
.
0
release
.
We
aren
't quite sure when
that
will
be
,
and
will
keep
the
bug
fix
releases
coming
untill
all
is
ready
.
Christian
:
I
would
call
this
a
ground
-
breaking
release
,
but
it
isn
't.
It
seems
like
a
good
one
,
though
.
I
dunno
.
I
've been too busy at VMware,
unfortunately
,
but
have
some
work
that
's just waiting to be finished up
for
Gaim
.
Gaim

is
going
to
rock

Gaim

0
will
rock
more
.
Do
you
see
a
pattern
?
Thanks
go
out
to
Henry
Jen
for
fixing
up
parts
of
the
gevolution
plugin
to
support
multiple
addressbooks
,
and
to
all
our
moms
,
for
believing
in
us

Or
something

you
might

been
expecting

But
here
it
is

1.0

0.
Our
new
versioning
scheme
has
slightly
more
meaning
than
the
older
one
(
expecially
for
plugin
authors
),
but
our
1.0
(

0

release
is
just
as
meaningless
as
we
could
have
hoped
.
Enjoy
!
Luke
:
We
've changed our pattern for version numbers with this
release
,
we
are
no
longer
simply
counting
versions
.
This
release
then
marks
,
not
something
traditionally
"1.0"
but
the
current
version
of
the
api
.
When
backwards
compatability
with
that
breaks
you
'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you
are
reading
this
and
are
good
with

with

please
get

Rob
:
Woah
,
where
did
I
come
from
?
Mark
:
Lately
I
've been doing a lot more code maintenance/patch
accepting
/
bug
fixing
type
of
work
.
And
I
think
that
's a really
good
thing
.
I
feel
like
Gaim
is
becoming
more
stable
.
It
seems
like
we
're lacking fewer features. It makes me warm.

Nathan
:
Well
,
it
looks
like
we
stuck
to
the
schedule
again
.
Had
we
taken
our
dear
sweet
time
,
I
might
have
had
a
chance
to
do
something
cool
for
this
release
,
but
instead
I
stuck
to
the
minor
stuff
.
<
insert
empty
promises
for
the
cool
stuff
i
'll code for
next
time
here
>
Tim
:
Lately
I
've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a
lot
less
actual
coding
.
Unfortunately
it
has
more
to
do
with
my
laziness
than
Gaim
's progress. Like Nathan, I'
m
going
to
blame
our
on
time
release
schedule
.
But
that
didn
't stop our Crazy
Patch
Writers
,
or
cpw
's as grim now calls them, from writing
some
good
patches
.
So
,
instead
of
promising
to
code
something
cool
for
next
release
,
I
'm going to promise that the cpw'
s
will
code
cool
things
for
next
release
,
and
I
might
apply
some
of
them
.
Luke
:
I
've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some
better
than
others
,
and
bugging
other
people
to
code
stuff
.
Oh
and
closing
some
bugs
.
Thanks
to
Dave
West
for
joining
the
cpws
in
helping
to
handle
triage
.
This
is
mostly
a
bug
fix
release
,
so
PLEASE
upgrade
to
it
before
submitting
new
bugs
.
Kevin
:
Herman
's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given
the
task
of
preparing
0.82
's Windows packages. After some feverish
plotting
,
we
decided
to
update
GTK
and
Daniel
prepped
an
update
to
libpng
to
address
recent
security
advisories
.
Besides
plotting
and
a
little
bit
of
testing
,
this
NEWS
is
all
I
really
did
.
Oh
,
I
also
rerefixed
the
transparency
plugin

again

Our
beloved
Hermanator
should
be
back
next

around

Three
weeks
again
!
Sticking
to
schedules
is
awesome
!
Just
like
Gaim
v0
.
81.
This
is
what
we
in
the
industry
call
a
"bugfix
release
.
" We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's
awesome
.
Thanks
to
everyone
who
helped
report
,
triage
,
fix
,
and
test

Christian
:
Yay
for
three
weeks
working
so
well
.
Boo
for
me
not
doing
much
of
anything
this
release
,
aside
from
a
small
memory
leak
fix
.
I
'm starting a new job and leaving my current one, so
when
the
dust
settles
and
my
schedule
is
a
bit
better
,
the
very
cool
status
rewrite
will
be
finished
up
.
Especially
now
that
I
have
some
help
!
I
'd like to second Sean'
s
thanks
to
all
the
people
who
helped
with
this
bug
fix
release
.
Gaim
should
be
a
bit
more
stable
for
a
lot
of
you
.
For
those
experiencing
MSN
problems
still
,
we
'll
get
that
nailed
for
you
soon
,
promise
.
Mark
:
I
was
going
to
point
out
that
we
closed
an
insane
amount
of
bugs
for
this
release
,
but
Sean
already
did
that
.
I
feel
like
we
've had some really talented new contributors contributing
recently
.
I
won
't say names... but watch your backs. Or something.
Nathan
:
I
did
next
to
nothing
for
this
release
.
I
am
however
settled
in
to
my
new
job
,
and
in
a
couple
days
,
I
should
be
settled
into
my
new
domicile
.
If
the
DSL
gods
are
in
a
good
mood
,
I
'll
have
a
connection
there
shortly
,
and
can
start
being
useful
again

I
didn
't do much here

drag

and
-
droppable

transfers

Drag
something
into
a

and
it
will
be

Kinda
neat

Mark

We
have
a
small
ant

I
can
't help but think
I
somehow
brought
this
upon
myself
.
Tim
:
I
don
't really have any news, but at least I don'
t
have
an
ant
problem
either
.
You
might
think
I
've been hard at work on
Gaim
-
vv
,
but
I
haven
't, I'
ve
just
been
lazy

I
plan
on
doing
some
cool
things
"soon"
though

both
with
Gaim
and
Gaim

me
some
nice

Luke

We
have
a
nice

release

with
a
Changelog

seems
small

remember
,
this
is
summer

and
people
have
lives

SILC

are
making
good
progress
from
our
Crazy

and
everyone
begging
to
send

good
stuff

Sean

We
've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'
ll
hopefully
be
able
to
keep
up
more
realistically
than
a
two
-
week
cycle
.
Yahoo
!
went
and
broke
last
night
,
but
it
's fixed now thanks
to
a
quick
fix
sent
in
by
Cerulean
Studios
this
morning
.
Reports
say
they
'll continue to try to break us, though, so don'
t
be
surprised
if
your
Yahoo
cuts
out
again
.
Luke
:
I
was
really
distracted
this
cycle
,
I
want
to
thank
my
co
-
developers
and
our
crazy
patch
writers
for
keeping
things
going
.
We
have
a
fairly
long
changelog
for
you
this
release
,
including
some
nice
bug
fixes
and
some
much
-
requested
new
features
,
the
ChangeLog
has
all
the
details
there
of
course
.
Enjoy

Christian
:
Great
release
!
MSN
buddy
icons

file

A
big
round

Too
bad
about
the
Yahoo
thing
,
but
..
eep
!
I
have
to
go

the

and
Farmer

Tim
:
This
release
brings
us
/
commands
in
the
core
,
which
hopefully
works
better
,
and
Yahoo
!
buddy
icons
.
Thanks
to
all
the
people
I
bugged
for
packet
captures
,
like
Simguy
,
Bleeter
,
and
odl
.
Yahoo
!
broke
again
,
so
I
did
a
little
last
minute
work
on
the
web
messenger
stuff
,
but
then
Cerulean
Studios
was
cool
and
fixed
the
problem
already
,
so
all
that
code
's disabled. I also finally added
the
Yahoo
!
Japan
support
,
for
those
of
you
with
Yahoo
!
Japan
accounts
.
Mark
:
I
fixed
that
icon
animation
thing
that
caused
Gaim
to
lock
-
up
.
I
also
stepped
on
something
at
the
beach
and
I
think
there
might
be
a
little
rock
or
something
in
my
foot
now
.
Nathan
:
I
've been really busy, what with having a new job and all.
I
didn
't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some
Jabber
stuff
,
and
some
IPv6
stuff
.
I
must
have
been
sleepcoding
or
something
,
because
I
haven
't had time for such things. Ah well,
enjoy
this
release
.
We
'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks.

Luke
:
A
very
long
time
,
once
again
,
since
the
last
release
.
I
think
its
mostly
worth
it
.
A
few
of
you
will
still
have
trouble
with
msn
but
we
've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic
efforts
on
the
part
of
Mark
,
we
closed
400
some
odd
reports
this
month
.
We
are
also
welcoming
Tim
to
the
project
,
a
very
active
crazy
patch
writer
who
has
brought
massive
improvements
to
WYSIWYG
and
direct
im
this
release
.
Again
,
it
still
won
't work for every
one
,
but
it
will
work
for
more
people
than
it
used
to
.
Most
noticably
,
this
release
brings
a
LARGE
simplicfication
of
the
preferences
available
.
Please
don
't complain if your favorite
preference
is
no
longer
there
.
Take
some
time
to
think
about
how
and
if
it
could
be
useful
to
a
majority
of
people
who
use
Gaim
in
ways
nothing
like
you
.
You
'll find that the answer will
usually
be
that
the
preference
isn
't all that important.
Tim
:
I
continued
with
the
other
crazy
patch
writers
in
fixing
those
WYSIWYG
bugs
.
Then
they
went
and
made
me
a
developer
.
Which
is
cool
.
They
told
me
I
could
commit
WYSIWYG
and
Yahoo
!
changes
.
So
I
went
and
fixed
IM
Image
and
Direct
Connect
in
AIM
for
some
reason
.
I
also
added
some
new
Yahoo
!
smileys
at
least
.
Also
you
change
your
link
color
in
your
~/.
gtkrc
-
2.0
file
now
.
I
might
work
on
some
of
those
new
Yahoo
!
features
for
next
release
,
like
buddy
icons
.
But
don
't
count
on
it
.
Thanks
to
everyone
who
congratulated
me
.
And
thanks
to
all
our
Crazy
Patch
Writers
,
who
now
expect
me
to
apply
all
their
Crazy
Patches
.
Christian
:
First
of
all
,
congrats
to
Tim
!
He
's our latest Gaim
developer
,
and
we
're all glad to have him on board. He'
s
been
a
valuable
contributor
for
awhile
now
.
Thanks
again
to
Felipe
Contreras
for
all
his
MSN
work
this
release
.
He
has
some
exciting
stuff
that
we
'll be seeing in 0.79. And last, but not least, thanks to all our
crazy
and
not
-
so
-
crazy
patch
writers
.
There
's been a lot done this
release
.
I
've been taking a small break, first due to school and now
work
,
but
I
'll be coming back strong in the next couple of releases. In
the
meantime
,
enjoy
.
Gary
:
Congrats
to
Tim
,
no
more
competing
for
most
ChangeLog
entries
.
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
!

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
sees
the
end
of
our
TOC
support
,
no
one
has
been
working
on
this
in
some
time
and
its
causing
problems
.
DON
'T USE IT!. Also plugin
authors
will
want
to
take
note
of
the
fact
that
the
plugin
api
version
changed
.
A
nice
solid
release
for
you
all

Ethan
:
Once
again
I
thought
about
doing
some
things
and
committed
things
that
other
people
did
.
This
development
model
is
awesome
.
I
helped
Mark
refactor
some
stuff
and
our
collective
code
ownership
helped
us
utilize
a
coherent
system
metaphor
during
our
pair
program
-
ming
sessions
.
It
was
extremely
extreme
.
Look
for
some
hard
crypto
lovin
' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future...
Ka
-
Hing
:
I
actually
did
something
for
this
release
...
or
rather
,
the
previous
release
,
but
LSchiere2
didn
't commit that until this release.
So
blame
him
.
System
logging
is
back
,
so
you
can
log
people
's signon/
off
/
away
/
idle
-
ness
again
.
There
may
be
bugs
with
it
,
I
don
't know, not
like
I
use
it
.
I
will
try
to
work
on
something
that
I
will
actually
use
for
the
next
release
.

A
round
of
applause
to
our
crazy
patch
writers
!
Their
contributions
this
release
is
impressive
.
WYSIWYG
has
come
a
long
way
since
0.76
thanks
to
them
.
Also
,
thanks
to
Felipe
Contreras
for
his
MSN
contributions
.
We
should
see
some
good
stuff
going
into
there
soon
.
I
myself
didn
't do a huge amount, aside from breaking everybody'
s
plugins
,
although
I
have
some
work
going
on
in
the
background
that
will
hopefully
make
it
into
release
soon

Sean
:
Yeah
,
it
's been a long time since the last release, and despite
what
others
may
tell
you
,
we
were
just
really
lazy
.
This
is
pretty
much
just
0.75
again
,
but
,
like
,
someone
changed
the
"Info"
icon
and
I
think
,
like
,
the
Chinese
translation
may
have
been
updated
.
We
did
nothing
interesting
on
it
at
all
.
Others
may
tell
you
"we haven't just
been
lazy
,
" or "
you
guys
will
find
that
we
've managed to do some neat
stuf
in
this
one
.
" They lie. All of them.
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,
I
guess
.
I
'm working on some stuff that some of you are going to love,
but
I
'm not promising it for a few more versions. It'
s
a
secret
!
Mark
:
Our
crazy
patch
writers
rock
.
Gary
Kramlich
,
Tim
Ringenbach
,
Kevin
Stange
,
and
Stu
Tomlinson
did
an
amazing
job
of
tying
up
loose
ends
and
helping
get
this
release
out
the
door
.
Thanks
guys
!
Rob
:
My
birthday
is
in
a
few
days
.
I
like
cool
stuff
.
Buy
me
something
grand
!!
Tim
:
Luke
said
write
a
NEWS
,
so
I
thought
I
would
.
There
's a room
list
dialog
now
.
And
Nathan
and
I
doubled
the
number
of
protocols
that
can
transfer
files
.
After
that
I
got
lazy
/
busy
and
let
Gary
,
Kevin
,
and
Stu
fix
all
the
bugs
.
Nathan
:
Rob
happens
to
share
a
birthday
with
my
sister
.
So
far
she
's
been
very
vague
about
what
she
wants
.
She
's not an easy person to shop
for
.
As
for
things
you
probably
care
more
about
,
this
release
has
so
much
in
it
that
I
've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the
bugs
from
0.75
are
fixed
.
Jabber
has
a
first
pass
at
file
transfer
support
(
no
proxy
support
yet
)
.
SOCKS
5
proxy
support
may
have
gotten
a
little
better
as
a
side
-
effect
.
Twinkies
and
penguin
points
to
all
of
the
crazy
patch
writers
,
who
did
more
than
their
fair
share
this
release
.
Ethan
:
My
birthday
was
yesterday
,
and
not
on
the
same
day
as
Rob
and
Nathan
's sister. And I don'
t
mean
that
Rob
and
Nathan
have
the
same
sister
.
For
this
release
,
I
thought
about
making
IRC
better
,
I
thought
about
making
Tcl
better
,
and
I
committed
patches
from
several
others
who
actually
did
these
things
.
And
probably
some
other
things
,
too
.
Let
's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open
source
philosophy
that
lets
them
get
so
CRAZY
.
0.75
(
01
/
09
/
2004
):
Rob
:
Woah
,
what
's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain'
t
so
!
That
's right, kiddos, I'
m
finally
coming
out
of
my
reclusiveness
.
I
had
a
pretty
shitty
few
months
,
and
also
just
needed
a
break
from
things
.
But
,
I
'm back, and that'
s
good
.
Right
?
Yes
.
And
now
,
a
little
word
from
Eric
Warmenhoven
..
:
P
Eric
:
Ah
,
Rob
and
Eric
.
Just
like
the
good
ol
' days. Now, if
you
'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin
lyrics
as
my
commit
logs
.
heh
.
What
do
you
mean
,
I
look
a
lot
like
Sean
Egan
?
I
'm... oh fine, you got me. It'
s
really
just
Sean
in
an
Eric
Warmenhoven
costume
.
So
,
Yahoo
!
works
again
,
and
that
's good. And 0.76 is going to have
something
_very_
neat
.
Nathan
:
You
're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat
support
is
now
bar
-
some
,
quickly
approaching
bar
-
none
!
Everything
else
in
Jabber
got
neat
improvements
too
.
I
'll leave it up to you
to
figure
out
what
they
were
.
<
boilerplate
promises
for
cool
features
in
$
version
++>
Christian
:
I
've been a bit absent this release, due to life stuff
and
working
on
some
other
projects
.
Some
MSN
goodies
are
going
to
be
available
in
an
upcoming
version
,
and
I
have
some
neat
Gaim
-
related
stuff
I
'm working on that will hopefully see the light of day. I'
d
like
to
say
good
job
to
the
other
developers
.
Good
release
.
(
Of
course
,
every
time
I
say
that
,
something
breaks
horribly
right
after
we
release
it
.
)
Luke
:
Okay
,
so
Sean
rocks
and
got
Yahoo
working
again
in
12
minutes
.
Unfortunately
,
he
took
out
the
chat
support
in
doing
so
.
So
use
conferences
for
now
if
you
use
yahoo
.
Users
begging
for
file
transfer
support
should
thank
Tim
'marv'
Ringenbach
for
Yahoo
ft
,
and
everyone
should
be
happy
to
note
that
0.75
leaks
far
less
than
0.74
.
Also
,
a
lot
of
other
bug
fixes
happened
that
escape
my
notice
right
now
.
Ethan
:
I
just
want
to
say
that
now
logging
really
doesn
't eat
memory
'till the cows come home. We don'
t
think
.
I
would
like
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
these
people
,
and
I
think
you
should

0.74
(
11
/
25
/
2003
):
Sean
:
Christian
and
Nathan
were
wrong
.
Ethan
:
I
don
't know how solid or good this release will be, but
hopefully
it
's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn'
t
rock
or
anything
,
but
for
those
users
bit
by
its
peculiar
little
bugs
it
wasn
't as nice as this will be.
Nathan
:
Jabber
got
some
good
tweaks
,
and
logging
doesn
't eat
memory
until
the
cows
come
home
.
Which
is
good
,
because
they
said
they
'll be out until late.
Luke
:
Always
nice
when
directories
get
created
correctly
;
-
)
0.73
(
11
/
21
/
2003
):
Nathan
:
This
should
be
a
really
solid
release
.
I
fixed
most
if
not
all
of
the
idiotic
Jabber
bugs
from
0.72
,
and
re
-
enabled
the
SASL
login
stuff
,
now
that
it
is
finalized
in
the
XMPP
drafts
.
Oh
,
and
we
now
have
a
release
notification
plugin
,
so
you
can
find
out
when
the
latest
and
greatest
version
of
Gaim
is
out
without
breaking
that
reload
button
in
your
browser
.
There
's other fun new stuff, but I
forget
what
it
is
.
Christian
:
This
is
a
good
release
,
as
Nathan
said
.
For
all
those
who
hated
all
the
disconnect
dialogs
,
we
now
have
a
{
dis
,
re
}
connect
{
ed
,}
dialog
that
replaces
all
of
them
and
shows
every
account
that
became
disconnected
.
Also
,
there
were
some
MSN
fixes
thrown
in
,
such
as
the
problem
with
unblocking
users
.
My
personal
favorite
,
since
it
's
really
been
bugging
me
for
awhile
,
is
the
bug
with
the
border
on
the
close
buttons
is
fixed
.
Oh
yes
,
and
let
's not forget the new logging.
It
simply
rocks
.
This
is
a
pretty
stable
release
,
so
get
it
.
0.74
is
going
to
have
some
niceties
that
people
have
been
waiting
for
.
0.72

Sean
:
I
think
I
'll go as the Gaim logo guy for Halloween. That
would
be
a
cool
costume
.
Luke
:
We
've had a record month for number of bugs submitted (395 as
of
now
)
this
month
,
but
the
total
number
of
bugs
open
has
grown
by
less
than
20
,
so
while
it
might
be
fustrating
for
those
of
you
out
there
who
think
your
bug
report
is
being
ignored
,
know
that
we
are
doing
our
best
to
look
at
them
all
:
-
)
.
This
release
fixes
a
goodly
number
of
bugs
including
the
troubles
with
signing
on
icq
(
thanks
to
Mark
)
.
Enjoy
!
Christian
:
Last
release
brought
forward
a
lot
of
bug
reports
,
such
as
the
ICQ
bug
,
and
also
trouble
with
installing
SSL
.
I
can
't count
how
many
people
were
confused
as
to
why
their
MSN
plugin
wasn
't
loading
.
Now
,
it
'll load regardless, and when you try to connect,
it
'll give you an error dialog saying to install SSL (if you don'
t
have
it
installed
,
of
course
)
.
I
didn
't do a whole lot this release,
but
that
'll change with the next. There are some fun things coming.
Ethan
:
In
complete
defiance
of
history
,
I
did
something
this
release
.
It
had
to
do
with
IRC
.
If
I
type
here
for
long
enough
,
I
'm sure I'
ll
remember
what
it
was
...
Oh
yeah
,
all
of
you
paranoid
people
can
hide
your
local
username
by
changing
your
IRC
account
settings
.
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
are
aware
that
building
Gaim
is
Harder
than
it
Should
Be
on
Solaris
,
and
I
am
seeking
solutions
to
some
of
the
issues
there
.
Everyone
remember
to
give
some
love
to
the
developers
who
actually
did
something
of
note
this
release
(
i
.
e
.
not
me
)
!
Nathan
:
Jabber
got
a
ton
better
this
release
,
as
I
fixed
most
of
the
bugs
introduced
in
the
last
release
.
Registration
works
again
,
and
the
next
person
to
break
it
is
going
to
suffer
.
I
also
fixed
a
handfull
of
other
little
things
that
I
can
't remember. This should
be
a
good
release
.
0.71
(
10
/
09
/
2003
):
Rob
:
It
's been a while since I'
ve
commited
some
news
.
I
've had a
very
hectic
few
weeks
/
months
.
Thing
are
finally
coming
together
again
for
me
.
This
release
features
much
copying
and
pasting
.
Yeah
.
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
15
th
,
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
)
.
Mark
:
People
are
going
to
make
a
voodoo
doll
of
me
and
shower
it
with
kisses
and
chocolate
women
:
When
an
AIM
user
is
away
,
you
can
now
view
the
person
's away message in their tooltip. This is very similar to
what
iChat
does
,
only
our
tooltip
will
wrap
lines
rather
than
displaying
off
your
screen
:
-
)
Nathan
:
Chocolate
women
are
cool
,
but
I
'm a bigger fan of the real kind.
I
re
-
wrote
the
Jabber
support
from
scratch
,
so
now
there
's at least one
person
who
knows
what
's going on with it. I got lost in the old code,
even
in
the
parts
I
wrote
.
It
now
supports
the
SASL
login
stuff
from
the
XMPP
protocol
specs
,
and
will
automagically
upgrade
the
conncetion
to
SSL
if
it
's supported. If anything doesn'
t
work
like
it
did
before
,
it
's probably better, and you should be thankful for it.
Ethan
:
I
'm sure I'
ll
be
showered
with
all
kinds
of
wonderful
things
,
but
I
doubt
it
's because I did anything. The reason being that I
really
don
't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_
prepension
and
documentation
for
IRC
and
Tcl
,
and
handle
IRC
errors
more
responsibly
,
but
I
've been meaning to do that for months.
Except
the
Tcl
part
,
the
Tcl
plugin
hasn
't even existed for months.
I
figure
if
I
write
enough
NEWS
no
one
will
notice
I
didn
't do
anything
during
the
release
cycle
.
Oh
,
I
did
close
some
bugs
.
I
didn
't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon.
Don
't tell Luke.
Luke
:
Mmmm
,
I
probly
did
even
less
than
Ethan
,
except
I
closed
rather
more
bugs
for
other
reasons
.
Lots
of
you
submitting
duplicate
bugs
.
This
should
be
a
pretty
good
release
.
We
still
have
a
couple
crashes
in
ssl
stuff
,
but
we
fixed
a
number
of
the
bugs
in
the
tracker
,
and
the
code
cleaning
helps
alot
as
well
.
Enjoy
!

out
most
of
the
kinks
in
the
new
contact
support
.
The
Jabber
goodies
I
promised
will
have
to
wait
for
now
.
Christian
:
I
didn
't really do anything except fix a couple of issues
loading
protocol
plugins
that
had
plugin
dependencies
and
getting
perl
to
install
where
we
tell
it
to
.
I
had
hoped
that
0.70
would
include
a
finished
libgaim
,
but
Yahoo
kind
of
wrecked
that
dream
.
We
'll see it
within
the
next
few
releases
.
Life
has
been
busy
in
a
good
way

heard
it

Herman

support
for

Also
,
SSL
support
for
Jabber
makes
its
debut
.
More
Jabber
goodies
next
release
.
Christian
:
It
's a good release. The main highlight really is
Nathan
's Contact support, which is just beautiful. My buddy list
shrunk
considerably
.
As
Sean
stated
,
MSN
and
Yahoo
!
work
.
MSN
does
not
support
the
new
MSN
buddy
icons
and
stuff
,
unfortunately
,
but
we
'll see about 0.70. There were a whole bunch of Perl fixes,
so
hopefully
there
will
be
less
complaints
directed
to
my
code
in
that
area
;)
Among
other
new
additions
of
mine
are
SSL
support
(
both
Mozilla
NSS
and
GNUTLS
),
Plugin
IPC
(
letting
plugins
talk
to
each
other
),
and
some
visual
niceties
in
the
Accounts
window
.
Ka

Hing
Cheung
put

please

Yeah

good
release

Just
you
wait

0.70
though

Nathan
:
I
didn
't do much for this release, except make Jabber
registration
work
,
and
put
in
a
slight
tweak
to
make
Gaim
work
a
little
better
with
jabberd2
.
Next
release
you
'll all see what I'
ve
been
spending
my
time
on
,
but
for
now
enjoy
the
fruits
of
everyone
else
's labor.
Mark
:
I
've been really busy with other stuff, but I'
ve
spent
my
Gaim
-
time
on
working
towards
a
more
formal
translation
process
.
Hopefully
this
will
result
in
Gaim
shipping
with
more
complete
translation
files
.
Also
,
all
our
awesome
translators
are
mentioned
in
the
about
window
now
.
Christian
:
I
've been really busy with this stuff. Gaim got a new
signal
architecture
,
which
is
just
really
cool
.
The
old
events
system
is
gone
.
Now
you
connect
a
signal
from
a
handle
(
which
can
be
a
plugin
or
whatever
)
to
a
function
,
and
plugins
can
register
their
own
functions
,
and
other
neat
things
.
Oh
yeah
,
and
perl
was
rewritten
.
There
's a new HOWTO in the Doxygen docs (make docs), but no API
reference
yet
.
Developers
,
look
at
the
plugins
/
perl
/
common
/*.
xs
files
for
now
.
I
also
wrote
plugin
dependencies
,
which
will
be
more
useful
down
the
road
.
Gaim
v0
.
69
is
going
to
have
the
new
MSN
plugin
that
works
with
the
latest
MSN
protocol
.
Please
be
patient
for
that
,
as
we
're getting a lot of MSN questions we answer over and over.
Luke
:
Wow
,
I
actually
did
something
for
this
release
besides
commit
translations
!
Well
,
sorta
.
I
got
permission
to
commit
some
patches
so
gaim
now
has
color
support
for
yahoo
,
and
you
can
fetch
some
basic
info
on
yahoo
and
msn
users
.
Yay
for
people
submitting
patches
!

Christian

I
guess
Sean
couldn
't be here to tell you about all the
great
new
things
.
New
stuff
was
done
!
It
's simply amazing. Yeah. So,
new
IRC
protocol
plugin
,
tab
text
is
greyed
on
events
(
like
"So and
so
has
signed
off
!
"), protocol icons on tabs (thanks to Etan Reisner),
some
dialog
rewrites
..
Great
stuff
.
Gaim
's looking more teh perrty.
My
big
"wow"
thing
is
that
the
core
and
UI
were
split
enough
for
me
to
remove
the
remaining
UI
code
and
make
a
patch
,
and
libgaim
was
born
,
for
experimental
purposes
.
However
,
using
it
,
I
was
able
to
make
the
second
UI
ever
for
Gaim
-
Gaim
for
Qtopia

Zaurus

Sean

Man
,
0.65
was
so
super
lame
and
boring
.
But
0.66
?
WOW
!
This
is
the
most
incredible
thing
EVER
.
We
've done tons of work
since
0.65
,
and
I
'm really proud of what we came out with. Thanks
to
everyone
who
helped
!
Christian
:
Wow
,
I
can
't even begin to describe how long we'
ve
worked
on
this
one

Monstrous
release

Best
ever

You
won

it

If
you
've had account import problems, delete your accounts.xml
and
upgrade
to
0.66

Just
,
wow

Herman
:
This
is
to
make
up
for
slipping
off
the
two
week

cycle

Luke
:
Okay
,
people
,
yes
we
did
test
0.65
for
bugs
,
but
hey
,
some
things
slip
through
.
This
release
makes
up
for
that
.
This
should
fix
the
bugs
0.65
introduced
,
at
least
the
ones
that
most

you
would
otherwise
hit

Rob
:
Wooo
!
We
're finally ready for 0.65. Are you guys excited? I
haven
't worked on anything in this release, either. I'
ve
been
working
offline
on
a
MacOSX
UI
.
No
,
you
're not allowed to ask
me
when
it
will
be
ready
.
If
you
ask
me
then
I
won
't answer
you
.
You
've been warned! :-D
Sean
:
Although
I
tend
to
go
right
here
in
the
two
slot
in
NEWS
,
we
don
't always commit in this order. This is the third time I'
ve
rewritten
this
because
the
jerks
below
me
keep
commiting
while
I
'm
writing
causing
mass
conflictination
.
Grrr
.
Stupid
jerks
.
Anyway
,
this
is
Gaim
0.65
.
Like
other
Gaim
releases
,
this
allows
you
to
converse
with
people
far
away
over
the
"Internet."
That
's about it.
It
's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn'
t
even
bother
reading
the
other
people
's NEWS. It'
s
all
boring
.
There
's some
crap
about
forest
fires
and
fangs
and
claws
.
It
's really boring.
Great
,
now
Luke
just
committed
NEWS
causing
more
conflictination
.
I
wouldn
't bother reading his either. Oh, and I don'
t
want
to
thank
Megan
(
Cae
)
or
Kevin
(
SimGuy
)
.
They
're stupid jerks too. Grrr...
Mark
:
I
actually
did
stuff
for
this
release
.
Go
me
.
I
probably
shouldn
't speak for all of us, but I'
m
going
to
anyway
:
We
feel
that
this
release
is
one
of
Gaim
's best. It should be relatively bug
free
,
and
the
code
is
cleaner
than
ever
,
thanks
to
lots
of
work
by
Christian
and
Nathan
.
We
had
some
help
from
a
few
civilians
finding
and
fixing
bugs

Hing
Cheung

I
was
just
looking
at
Sean
's NEWS entry for 0.64--that'
s
talent

Also
,
stay
in
school

Just
say
no
.
Only
you
can
prevent
forest
fires

Christian
:
This
has
been
a
great
release
.
faceprint
rocks
,
as
he
got
things
moving
in
the
core
/
UI
split
by
redoing
preferences
,
which
forced
us
to
think
about
how
things
would
be
split
.
We
now
have
XML
preferences
,
accounts
,
pounces
,
and
away
messages
.
No
more
.
gaimrc
ugliness
.
The
accounts
and
connection
code
now
have
new
core
/
UI
split
APIs
,
and
there
is
very
little
to
do
before
our
split
is
ready
to
be
used
.
Rob
and
I
are
working
off
an
experimental
tarball
of
what
will
eventually
be
libgaim
.
He
's working on a MacOS X UI (don'
t
ask
him
about
it
,
he
'll ignore you) and I'
m
doing
a
Qtopia
UI
(
you
can
ask
about
that
,
it
's usable!). We added a new protocol, Trepia.
Information
about
it
can
be
found
at
http
:
//
www
.
trepia
.
com
/.
It
's not
complete
,
so
don
't send in bug reports about it not finding people in
your
local
area
,
please
.
Oh
,
and
lots
of
MSN
bugs
were
fixed
.
Practically
all
the
known
ones
.
I
feared
0.65
would
be
unstable
due
to
our
rewrites
,
I
believe
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
stable
releases
we
've had in awhile (knock on wood), thanks to Megan (Cae),
who
has
done
an
amazing
job
at
locating
,
categorizing
and
documenting
the
various
bugs
she
has
run
into
,
and
kevin
(
SimGuy
)
.
Stay
tuned
for
upcoming
releases
.
Neat
things
are
coming
,
but
if
it
has
fangs
and
claws
,
curl
into
a
ball
.
Or
yell
at
it
.
I
can
't remember which is
correct
.
Luke
:
Wow
!
Finally
releasing
0.65
!
Christian
,
Nathan
,
and
Mark
have
worked
really
hard
for
this
release
,
all
the
credit
goes
to
them
.
The
new
preferences
are
awesome
,
and
there
are
more
bugs
fixed
for
this
release
than
in
the
last
3
or
4
releases
.
Your
MSN
should
work
reliably
again
,
your
preferences
saved
,
your
accounts
resort
,
the
list
goes
on
and
on
.
A
couple
preferences
,
most
notably
your
buddy
list
sorting
preference
won
't be imported, but almost all of them
will
be
and
its
probly
a
good
idea
for
you
to
take
a
second
look
through
preferences
again
anyway
,
alot
of
you
are
starting
to
forget
that
things
are
optional
again
.

Nathan
:
I
think
I
did
something
for
this
release
a
while
ago
.
I
've
got
a
mailbox
full
of
commit
emails
,
and
some
have
my
name
on
them
,
so
I
must
have
done
something
,
right
?
Probably
some
minor
jabber
stuff
,
and
lots
of
crazy
bugfixes
.
It
was
a
team
effort
,
I
'd like to thank the
academy
,
our
producer
Rob
Flynn
,
and
of
course
all
the
fans
.
You
rock
.
Herman
:
I
was
told
to
write
something
..
so
here
it
goes
.
Windows
users
will
be
happy
to
know
that
they
can
now
rearrange
their
Buddy
Lists
.
I
finally
got
stuck
into
GTK
+
code
and
fixed
the
bug
in
question
(
this
release
will
include
a
patched
version
of
GTK
+
2.2
.
1
)
.
I
integrated
the
WinGaim
systray
code
into
the
docklet
plugin
bringing
those
nice
docklet
features
(
i
.
e
.
Message
queuing
)
to
WinGaim
.
Another
major
WinGaim
change
of
note
is
that
debug
versions
of
all
dlls
can
now
be
built
,
providing
useful
backtraces
not
only
for
gaim
.
dll
but
for
the
plugins
as
well
.

didn

re
under

crunch
week

work

Friday
is
the
end

Hooray

Thanks
for
all

your
hard
work

guys

Sean
:
Unlike
every
other
time
we
say
,
"the next release will be loaded
with
cool
new
features
,
this
time
,
we
really
mean
it
.
In
fact
,
they
're
already
in
CVS
(
don
't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64
is
buddy
list
sorting
.
This
has
been
much
requested
and
can
be
set
in
the
buddy
list
preferences
.
You
can
sort
by
name
,
by
status
,
and
even
by
log
file
size
--
putting
people
you
talk
to
most
at
the
top
.
Plugins
can
even
easily
add
their
own
sorting
methods
.
It
's all very cool. I
want
to
thank
Luke
and
Ka
-
Hing
for
their
initial
work
on
it
.
And
yes
,
I
did
make
my
entire
NEWS
entry
justified
on
purpose
.
Christian
:
I
have
a
few
new
goodies
in
0.64
,
but
they
're mostly
back
-
end
stuff
that
people
like
us
care
about
.
The
things
that
most
of
you
will
like
the
most
is
that
almost
all
of
the
reported
MSN
bugs
were
fixed
.
Users
with
an
empty
contact
list
can
now
login
again
.
The
friendly
name
bug
is
gone
.
E
-
mail
notifications
work
again
.
Yay
!
We
have
some
big
changes
in
store
for
0.65
.
Careful
if
you
use
CVS
...
Things
will
break
.
:)
Mark
:
I
never
really
have
anything
important
to
add

I
'd just like to
thank
Jack
Daniels
for
his
exquisite
bug
reports

whiskey

Rob
:
Wow
,
so
,
what
can
I
say
?
I
've been rather AWOL for the past few
releases
.
However
,
that
's okay. Work has been pretty friggin hec-
tic
,
so
,
that
's my excuse. Work is finally going to be slowing down
some
.
I
plan
to
be
doing
more
Gaim
work
.
That
makes
me
happy
.
That
makes
you
happy
.
That
makes
us
all
happy
.
Now
,
I
just
need
to
finish
rebuilding
my
car
's engine. Engine rebuilds put the FU in
fun

Sean
:
Yay
!
School
is
finally
over

I
have
to
give
tons
of
cherry
-
flavored
props
to
everyone
whose
been
helping
out
while
I
stayed
away
from
Gaim
to
keep
myself
from
failing
again

Christian

Nathan

Luke
:
Okay
,
this
is
NOT
a
bug
fix
release
,
at
least
for
those
of
you
who
use
MSN
.
Christian
put
in
a
TON
of
effort
rewritting
the
MSN
prpl
,
mega
props
to
him
on
this
release
.
In
other
news
,
we
have
alot
of
bugs
fixed
,
and
a
goodly
number
of
the
translations
are
more
up
to
date
than
they
were
in
earlier
releases
.
There
are
some
other
significant
changes
,
but
they
are
mostly
backend
stuff
,
yay
for
core
/
ui
splits

-

Christian
:
As
Sean
and
Luke
said
,
I
did
a
tiny
bit
of
work
in
this
release
.
The
MSN
prpl
was
rewritten
,
and
should
now
work
better
.
It
's
compatible
with
the
MSNP7
protocol
that
MSN
v4
.
x
uses
.
Unfortunately
,
MSNP9
is
being
worked
on
.
Bah
.
Also
,
it
has
MSN

You

Oh
,
and
due
to
the
nature
of
MSNP7
,
conversations
are
timed
out
after
5
minutes
,
so
you
'll unfortunately
see
a
message
indicating
that
.
Sorry
!
I
wrote
experimental
support
for
my
own
implementation
of
MSN
buddy
icons
.
You
can
set
them
in
your
account
settings
much
like
with
AIM
,
and
when
you
talk
to
other
gaim
users
,
they
'll get your buddy icon. This will last for a few releases,
until
the
buddy
icon
implementation
in
the
upcoming
MSNP9
protocol
is
figured
out
,
and
we
have
support
for
that
.
That
'll be a couple months
away
at
least
.
Also
,
we
have
a
rewrite
of
the
plugin
interface
,
so
rewrite
your
plugins
!
Things
are
going
to
get
very
cool
from
it
.
The
debug
API
was
core
/
UI
split
,
and
some
enhancements
were
made
to
the
debug
window
.
I
think
that
's all from me. It'
s
been
a
fun
release
.
Stay
tuned
,
I
have
some
great
things
coming
up
!
Nathan
:
It
seems
like
0.62
was
forever
and
a
day
ago
.
I
had
to
look
at
the
ChangeLog
to
remember
what
I
did
.
Apparently
I
made
it
so
you
can
put
chats
in
your
buddy
list
.
And
then
I
tweaked
a
bunch
of
stuff
and
fixed
a
bunch
of
crashes
.
Then
exams
came
,
and
then
I
went
home
for
a
week
and
left
my
laptop
's power cable here at school, so I didn'
t
get
anything
done
.
Jabber
will
get
all
sorts
of
fun
new
stuff
for
the
next
release
.

This
is
just
another
standard
bi
-
weekly
Gaim
release
.
Nothing
really
interesting
,
but
it
has
some
good
bugfixes
.
Personally
,
I
've
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

Pop

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

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
have
class
in
the
morning
,
I
'll just raise my juice glass for this one.
Christian
:
I
'm not as cool as Rob, Sean, or Nathan, so I go down here.
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?

Rob
:
Wow
.
So
,
it
has
been
a
really
long
time
since
we
started
the
gtk2
fork
.
It
's finally ready for public consumption. Sean is about
to
go
out
and
buy
a
case
of
beer
.
My
roommate
is
downstairs
right
now
pouring
me
a
shot
of
his
choice
.
Everyone
,
raise
your
beers
if
you
've got them. It'
s
been
a
cool
almost
10
-
months
of
development
.
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
.
Drink
'em if you got'
em
!
Sean
:
I
'm writing this 3 minutes before my 21st birthday. Nobody can
believe
we
're finally ready to relase 0.60. Many thanks to everyone
who
helped
out
;
I
'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to
date
(
only
to
be
bested
by
0.61
)
.
There
's WAY too much stuff to mention.
Even
the
ChangeLog
is
somewhat
incomplete
.
Yay
,
I
'm 21 now! Everyone
enjoy
!
:)
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

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
devizelopers
for
rizocking
the
hizzy
the
past
few
months

I
'm very tired but it'

a
release

SORRY
FOR
THE
DELAY

Sean
:
It
's been a long time since our last release, and for no
good
reason
either
.
Rob
and
I
just
haven
't been able to get together
to
do
it
.
But
now
we
have
.
Aside
from
some
Jabber
changes
and
some
crucial
MSN
fixes
,
most
of
this
release
's changes are transparent,
but
none
-
the
-
less
important
.
Well
get
some
better
changes
when
my
computer
works
again

Rob
:
Yeah
,
so
,
my
computer
has
been
bad
which
is
why
the
release
didn
't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome
Jim
Seymour
aboard
the
development
team
.
He
's going to be taking
over
the
work
on
our
Jabber
code
as
well
as
doing
various
other
nit
picking
.
He
likes
to
pick
nits
,
nats
,
and
umm
,
knots
,
I
think

Sean
:
This
release
has
a
long
ChangeLog

Higlights
include
an
important
security
fix
for
MSN
and
a
few
nice
new
features
.
Not
*
much

cooler
than
0.57

but
we
're making progress ;)

Not

much
in

Sean
said
below

what
happens
when

bottom
person
goes
first

New
translation
,
a
few
fixes
,
secure
msn
hotmail
logins
,
blah

Sean
said
,
the
next
release
will
be
cooler

only
you
could
read

minds

Sean
:
Nothing
too
special
here
,
but
a
critical
Yahoo
fix
that
ensures
Yahoo
!
will
work
when
they
discontinue
the
old
protocol
all
the
other
3
rd
party
clients
are
using
.
Next
release
will
be
cooler

I
promise

Rob
:
Well
,
what
do
you
know
.
I
have
another
headache
.
I
always
have
these
damned
headaches
.
I
got
pissed
off
with
the
way
GtkTree
looks
.
I
wanted
to
move
to
using
GtkCTree
.
I
think
they
're pretty.
Unfortunately
,
GtkCTree
sucks
.
After
a
little
digging
through
the
code
,
I
managed
to
molest
GtkTree
into
looking
like
GtkCTree
.
Thanks
to
everyone
that
helped
track
down
that
one
annoying
style
problem
.
Sean
:
Hello
.
This
is
another
minor
release
while
Rob
and
I
finish
up
on
some
bigger
projects
.
We
're reworking a lot of the UI to make
it
easier
to
use
,
nicer
looking
,
and
more
compatible
with
gtk2
.
I
've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it
will
work
for
Indian
users
and
avoid
a
potential
problem
in
the
near
future
.

Rob
:
0.55
is
here

I
've been away for a few days on business. Sean
has
been
on
Spring
Break
.
Therefore
,
this
release
is
mostly
a
patch
release
.
It
does
fix
some
bugs
and
makes
a
few
thing
slightly
cooler
,
so
it
's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy.
Sean
:
This
is
mostly
a
bugfix
release

I
'm on Spring Break, not
doing

coding

all

sent
in
great
patches
anyway

Sean

We
fixed
a

of
bugs
in
this
one
,
and
probably
introduced
a
bunch
too

;)
We
were
both
really
busy
,
and
did
all
the
coding
late
at
night
when
we
were
tired
,
so
if
something
isn
't working,
it
's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits!

I

a
nice
little
halloween

There
are
quite
a
number
of
changes
in
this
release
.
There
are
a
few
too
many
to
list
here
,
so
I
will
redirect

olde
ChangeLog

Eric
:
Remember
back
in
the
day
when
TOC
was
the
only
protocol
Gaim
could
use
?
Remember
the
login
window
from
back
then
?
Back
before
Gaim
had
perl
or
plugins
or
multiple
connections
or
10
different
protocols
.
Things
have
changed
so
much
since
then
.
Many
more
changes
in
this
release
as
well
.
All
good
things
.
Don
't forget to talk to SmarterChild.

Hey
guys
!
The
smores
were
great
!
I
really
enjoyed
meeting
up
with
all
of
you
guys
and
singing
campfire
songs
.
It
was
really
awesome
.
Thanks
for
the
beer
,
too
.
Next
time
,
it
's on me.
This
release
has
quite
the
number
of
bug
fixes
.
I
won
't bother
going
into
detail
here
.
Just
ust
it
,
love
it
,
live
it

Eric
:
Lots
of
fixes
.
Things
compile
well
now
.
ICQ
has
stopped
crashing
on
PPC
and
Sparc
.
If
you
know
someone
who
isn
't using
Gaim
because
it
was
unstable
,
please
get
them
to
try
this
version
.
It
's much better, I promise.

Well
,
it
seems
that
the
time
has
come
for
yet
another
release
.
There
are
several
yummy
additions
in
this
release
,
and
quite
a
few
useful
bugfixes
as
well
.
Unfortunately
it
seems
that
Rob

currently
unavailable

he
joins
us
in
spirit
.
He
'll be
joining
us
later
for
a
group
sing
-
along
and
smores
by
the
campfire

But
for
now
,
you
'll need to keep yourselves occupied
with
0.45

remember

Another
release
has
come
upon
us
.
There
were
actually
quite
a
number
of
things
in
ye
old
ChangeLog
for
this
release
.
I
don
't
feel
like
talking
about
them
here
,
so
you
can
read
about
them
in
...
you
guessed
it
..
the
ChangeLog
.
Oh
,
and
if
you
're
wondering
about
setting
buddy
icons
,
wait
til
0.45
or
use
CVS
shortly
after
this
release
.
;

Eric
:
You
should
all
be
using
CVS
anyway
.
This
has
become
the
slogan
in
our
IRC
room
,
#gaim on irc.openprojects.net. The IRC
plugin
got
lots
of
updates
(
mostly
because
I
felt
bad
about
using
X
-
Chat
for
IRC
when
gaim
supposedly
had
an
IRC
plugin
),
so
you
should
load
the
plugin
and
join
us
.

Rob
:
Well
,
I
knew
that
the
day
would
eventually
come
.
I
just
didn
't
expect
it
to
be
so
soon
.
;
-
)
.
Yes
,
that
's right, Eric and I finally
got
sick
of
all
of
the
pre
releases
.
We
didn
't want to make this
release
an
official
0.11
.
0.
We
thought
that
it
would
cause
a
lot
of
confusion
.
We
didn
't want to continue our trend of prereleases
either
.
So
,
since
gaim
was
first
released
officially
,
there
have
been
42
releases
.
This
is
number
43
,
hence
the
0.43
version
number
.
We
're going to stick with this trend from now on. :-).
Eric
:
We
're also going to be starting a release early, release
often
trend
,
that
hopefully
we
'll stick to this time. Hopefully
we
'll be putting out a new release every two weeks or so. You
should
all
be
using
CVS
anyway
:)
And
as
always
,
don
't forget to
report
bugs
!
Anyway
,
since
there
's only been 9 days since the
last
release
not
much
has
changed
.
A
bug
-
fix
release
and
a
version
change
mostly
:)

Eric
:
This
isn
't a real release. Really. It'
s
just
a
quick
thing
because
pre14
doesn
't cut it for some people. Also not counting
the
month
break
that
I
took
it
's been a month since the last
release
,
so
it
's about time. You should all be using CVS anyway.

Rob
:
Hey
guys
.
I
've been rather inactive as well. It'
s
a
long
story
,
but
essentially
,
my
company
layed
off
a
bunch
of
people
,
myself
included
,
due
to
poor
management
.
I
've taken a new
job
which
required
moving
across
the
country
.
I
'm finally back
online
.
Once
I
manage
to
actually
get
a
desk
at
home
I
'll be
able
to
code
with
out
infliciting
intense
pain
upon
my
lower
back
and
neck
.
So
,
basically
,
we
were
inactive
,
but
not
dead
.
Also
,
just
to
keep
you
all
updated
,
the
AOL
battle
is
still
in
progress
.
Our
lawyers
are
still
in
negotiation
with
thiers
.
We
'll keep you updated with what happens.

things

BIG
bug
fix
release

I
did
a
lot
of
stupid
things
in
the
last
one
,

You
all
forgive
me
though
,
right
?

Rob

I

naughty

I
should
have
released
this
a
lot
earlier
in
the
day
.
I
have
a
problem
though
.
I
started
cooking
,
invited
a
couple
friends
over
for
dinner
and
then
took
a
walk
to
a
24
hr
doughnut
shop
where
I
sat
outside
and
talked
about
random
stuff
.
Oh
well
,
at

it
's still before the 18th.

Howdy
doodie

This
release
isn
't coming too far behind
the
previous
release
but
hey
,
what
can
ya
say
,
there
were
a
couple
of
good
fixes
in
this
one
.
Jabber
&
IRC
can
set
/
view
the
topics
of
chat
rooms
now
,
napster
doesnt
crash
on
bad
login
names
and
passwords
,
and
the
man
page
got
a
big
update
.
Well
,
that
's about all, folks. Next release, I hope to try to get
group
MSN
chat
support
added
as
well
as
DCC
support
in
the
IRC
plugin
.
Peace
!
Eric
:
I
apologize
if
any
of
you
had
to
restart
your
X
server
because
of
me
.
This
release
won
't make you have to do that, I promise. There
were
a
couple
other
minor
fixes
with
the
buddy
icon
stuff
,
it
still
has
a
way
to
go
but
at
least
it
's better than it was before. Oh yeah,
and
Oscar
is
able
to
sign
on
again

Hi
!
O
/.
My
girlfriend
was
visiting
me
so
I
've been busy being
unavailable
online
.
Hooray
.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
good
changes
in
this
release
.
Some
improved
dialogs
,
some
updates
to
IRC
and
MSN
,
as
well
as
a
nifty
little
thing
that
Eric
did
that
I
'll let him tell you about.
Oh
yeah
,
I
also
got
food
poisoned
by
bad
eggs
.
Ugh
!
Eric
:
Every
protocol
except
TOC
has
been
improved
since
the
last
release
.
All
of
them
except
Zephyr
and
ICQ
now
use
the
same
proxy
options
,
which
you
can
set
in
the
preferences
.
ICQ
can
use
them
if
you
set
it
to
Socks5
though
.
There
are
a
bunch
of
other
good
additions
and
fixes
for
each
protocol
which
you
can
read
about
in
the
ChangeLog
.
And
,
there
's one
super
cool
feature
that
everyone
seems
to
be
asking
for
:
Buddy
Icons
.
Right
now
you
can
only
receive
them
and
only
in
Oscar
,
but
hey
,
they
're
there
.
So
that
's it. Have fun with it :)

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
,

I
won

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,
Oscar
is
fixed
.
Isn
't that exciting. Judging from history I'
d
say
that
it
won
't stay fixed long; but judging from what I know has
changed
,
we
shouldn
't have any more troubles.

It

in
MSN
and
then
added
some
new
features
to
IRC
.
I
have
a
headache
right
now
,
though
,
so
I
won

m
going

Next
release
,
I
should
have
a
good
bit
more
done
on
IRC
and
will
have
made
Napster
more
stable
.
Have
fun
!!
Eric
:
There
's a new protocol plugin, Zephyr. Don'
t
use
it
!
unless
you
know
what
Zephyr
is
,
and
have
zhm
set
up
correctly
.
Also
there
were
a
lot
of
other
good
bugfixes
(
like
registering
for
Jabber
accounts
!
)
and
a
few
neat
features
.
In

release

Oscar
is
also
working
,

we
'll see how long that lasts, eh?

Oo
wow

So
I
guess
the
big
news
is
that
this
release
should
help
you
avoid
the
battle
between
Jabber
and
AOL
.
Most
protocols
got
a
few
good
bugfixes
;
thanks
to
people
who
pointed
them
out
:)
.
Hopefully
for
the
next
release
I
'll make it so you can register a
jabber
.
org
account
,
and
then
you
can
support
Jabber
using
Gaim
.
I
think
(
I
*
think

)
Oscar
blocking
is
working
now
.
Haha
,
get
it
?
Oscar
blocking
?
It
took
me
a
while
to
get
it
,
too
.
But
no
,
really
,
I
think
that
the
permit
/
deny
list
in
Oscar
might
be
working
.
Rob
:
MSN
got
some
fixes
and
should
be
really
stable
now
.
It
had
a
little
100
%
CPU
eating
bug
but
that
's taken care of now. Next
on
my
list
of
repairs
is
the
napster
plugin
.
It
works
--
sorta
--
sometimes
.
Heh
.
As
all
of
you
probably
know
already
,
our
Oscar
support
was
broken
yesterday
.
There
's a little battle going on
between
AOL
and
Jabber
and
we
caught
a
bullet
during
the
crossfire
.
I
think
I
just
won
the
award
for
the
most
cliches
used
in
one
paragraph
,
as
a
matter
of
fact

I

MSN
plugin

Sorry
,
I
'm just
a
lazy
code
whore

heheh
.
It
pretty
much
has
the
same
functionality
as
before
with
the
exception
of
instability

I
didn
't really like that feature very much so I removed it. I hope
you
guys
don

things
got
added

There
's going to be a lot of prereleases. Please help.

This
is

Yeah
,
I
promise
this
is
the
last
pre
-
release
:
-
D
.
That
seems
to
be
a
pretty
common
saying
around
here
,
huh
?
Well
,
I
must
first
appologize
.
The
protocols
that
I
was
working
on
really
should
be
much
more
developed
at
this
point
--
they
should
be
completed
,
actually
.
Unfortunately
,
my
real
life
job
(
yes
,
I
have
one
hehe
)
got
a
little
too
busy
and
ate
up
all
of
my
free
time
.
I
promise
that
things
will
get
better
now
:)
.
Eric
:
I
don
't promise that this is the last pre-release. :) But
hopefully
releases
can
start
coming
more
often
than
once
every
two
months
.
I
don
't really have much else to say. It'
s
been
a
slow
couple
of
months
.
Rob

I
promise
to
hack
gaim
again

Please
don
't hate me.

HOORAY
FOR

!
Eric
:
One
more
prerelease
.
I
'm actually starting to think these
prereleases
are
a
good
idea
;
a
lot
of
people
reported
a
lot
of
bugs
in
pre3
and
most
of
them
are
fixed
now
.
Also
,
it
helps
with
the
whole
release
early
-
release
often
philosophy
.
The
big
news
in
this
prerelease
is
two
more
protocols
:
Jabber
and
Napster
.
Both
of
them
don
't have any of the features that make
these
services
cool
,
yet
.
You
can
't use the transports in Jabber
and
you
can
't download file in Napster. But you will be able to,
soon
:)
Rob
and
I
are
going
on
vacation
starting
today
until
after
New
Year
's, which is a lot of the reason we wanted to get this release

Rob

Well
,
I
hadn
't initially planned on an 0.11.0pre3 but it
looks
like
it
was
needed
.
That
's not necessarially a bad thing,
mind
you
.
It
just
means
you
get
to
see
more
goodies
!
This
release
includes
some
other
fun
features
.
See
the
ChangeLog
for
more
information
.
Also
found
in
this
wonderful
release
is
an
MSN
plugin
.
For
all
of
you
who
have
been
holding
onto
Windows
simply
because
you
have
friends
on
MSN
Messenger
that
you
don
't want
to
leave
,
this
plugin
is
for
you
!
:)
Guys
,
make
sure
you
send
us
bug
reports
;
preferably
on
the
SourceForge
bug
report
forum
at
http

/.
This
will
allow
both
Eric
and
I
to
handle
the
bugs
and
will
prevent
either
one
of
us
from
losing
the
bug
reports
that
are
sent
via
AIM

Eric

Hey
everybody
,
Rob
and
I
really
want
to
hear
what
you
guys
want
to
see
in
gaim
.
Head
over
to

leave
a

in
the
Open
Discussion
forum

We
've gotten a lot of
good
ideas
so
far
(
most
of
them
didn
't make it into this release,
unfortunately
)
.
If
any
of
you
want
to
test
out
your
mad
coding
skills
,
I
can
think
of
a
few
projects
that
would
be
incredibly
useful
.
Send
me
or
Rob
an
IM
and
we
'll let you know how you can help. And don'
t
forget
to
read
the
HACKING
file
to
see
how
gaim
's put together.
This
is
hopefully
going
to
be
the
last
prerelease
;
now
that
all
the
protocols
that
we
're going to be doing for 0.11.0 are available it'
s
mostly
just
going
to
be
hacking
on
them
and
getting
them
in
usable
condition
before
the
final
release
.
Don
't forget to send us bug
reports
;)

You
may
find
several
small
bugs
as
this
is
still
a
prerelease
.
You
may
want
to
note
that
my
IRC
plugin
does
not
have
full
functionality
as
of
yet
.
All
of
the
important
/
commands
will
be
added
before
the
final
release
.
Also
,
if
someone
could
send
me
some
good
buddylist
pixmaps
for
the
irc
plugin
then
I
'd much
appreciate
it
.
Thanks
to
everyone
who
made
this

possible

Eric
:
So
what
was
Yay
!
For
Gaim
!
?
Yay
was
the
codename
for
the
Yahoo
plugin
.
The
whole
point
of
all
of
these
changes
was
I
wanted
to
make
a
proof
-
of
-
concept
plugin
that
would
let
Gaim
sign
into
Yahoo
.
It
turned
out
to
be
pretty
much
impossible
with
the
old
code
.
So
,
Rob
and
I
hacked
gaim
so
we
could
do
just
that
.
There
's now a whole new
class
of
plugins
,
Protocol
Plugins
,
that
let
users
dynamically
add
new
protocols
to
Gaim
.
Just
load
the
plugin
,
and
create
a
new
account
that
uses
that
protocol
,
and
you
're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still
static
.
Gaim
is
,
after
all
,
primarily
an
AIM
client
.
)
Lots
of
people
have
been
very
generous
and
contributed
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
to
writing
some
really
nice
patches
for
gaim
since
the
last
release
.
To
all
of
you
,
a
big
thanks
.

Look

Hi
Hi
Hi
!
Yet
another
gaim
release
pushed
out
the
door
for
you
guys
.
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
it
.
There
was
a
few
minor
issues
cleared
up
in
this
version
as
well
as
the
repair
of
OSCAR
support
.
Hopefully
we
won
't run into the same problem
as
before
.
Oh
well
;

.
There
's also a few small extra goodies
in
here
for
you
guys
just
check
out
the
Change
Log
.
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
and
take
care
!
Eric
:
Wanna
know
what
the
Oscar
problem
was
?
You
'll laugh. 2 bytes.
The
fix
was
changing
0x07da
to
0x0686
.
Anyway
,
aside
from
the
fix
for
that
,
there
are
a
couple
other
good
things
.
Beware
of
DSL
nazis
.
They
won
't give you service until 6 weeks after you order it. So um,
yeah
.

Rob

Well
peoples
,
I
know
that
it
's been a while since our
last
release
.
Here
we
go
.
Some
brand
spankin
' new interfaces
for
you
guys
to
oogle
at
.
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
it
.
Hopefully
our
next
release
won
't take as long to finish up. Real life
kind
of
crept
up
on
Eric
and
I
and
took
up
a
lot
of
our
times
.
Life
sucks
that
way
sometimes
.
Anyways
,
we
're back and all
is
well
.
Thanks
for
hanging
in
there
guys
and
we
hope
you
enjoy
it
!
Eric
:
LWE
was
so
cool
.
Rob
and
I
met
up
there
,
we
had
a
blast
.
But
I
only
got
to
go
for
one
day
and
Rob
got
to
go
for
three
.
Lucky
bastard
.
It
's been so long since the last release that I don'
t
even
remember
what
's changed. But all of it is good :) Like Rob said, all kinds of
new
UI
stuff
.
I
think
there
are
some
new
features
in
there
too
.
Now
I
'm headed back to school so I'
ll
have
more
time
to
hack
gaim
(
isn
't
that
supposed
to
be
the
reverse
?
),
just
as
soon
as
I
get
my
internet
connection
back
>

.
Rob
:
Oh
yeah
,
some
of
our
pixmaps
may
need
a
little
work
.
We
took
a
lot
of
them
from
the
Gnome
Stock
icons
.
If
anyone
could
do
some
custom
ones
that
stay
within
the
24
x24
boundary
and
keep
the
same
idea
and
feel
as
the
gnome
icons
then
we
would
be
more
than
happy
to
use
them
.
Thanks
much
!!

Rob
:
Well
,
guys
,
I
hope
you
enjoy
this
version
.
I
've done quite a bit
of
work
to
the
user
interface
.
It
's still not in the state that I
would
like
it
to
be
,
though
.
Over
the
next
few
versions
you
will
notice
a
few
more
interface
changes
as
we
try
to
bring
a
more
professional
look
to
Gaim
.
As
always
,
we
will
stay
true
to
our
pimpin
' penguin atittude.
Eric
:
While
Rob
's been busy making things pretty, I'
ve
been
busy
making
things
work
:)
.
The
chat
and
IM
windows
got
merged
,
which
means
that
they
both
have
the
same
features
(
notably
,
IM
has
/
me
and
chat
has
font
/
color
dialogs
and
smileys
)
.
Also
smileys
should
work
better
in
general
now
(
thanks
fflew
)
.
Rob
:
By
the
way
,
what
Eric
is
saying
is
that
he
's smart and I'
m
not
and
that
he
does
all
of
the
work
and
I
sit
on
my
butt
all
day
and
claim
to
do
work
.

All
of
that
nonsense
aside
,
there
are
a
few
things
that
DIDN
'T happen
in
this
version
of
gaim
.
The
user
interface
changes
will
wait
until
the
0.9
.
20
release
.
We
've decided to turn 0.9.19 into a "new feature
and
major
bug
fix
" release. All/Most major bugs should be worked out
now
.
We
're sorry about the problem of segfaulting when your buddylist
stored
on
the
server
was
null
.
Oops
!
We
won
't let it happen again,
we
promise
.
Eric
:
Lots
of
good
changes
in
this
one
,
including
locale
support
.
Chat
had
a
lot
of
things
done
to
it
,
but
it
's still not finished. The UI
didn
't get the overhaul we were planning, but we wanted to get a few
bugfixes
out
.
Lemme
say
something
about
reporting
bugs
.
Please
do
.
Please
try
to
give
as
much
information
as
you
can
.
But
regardless
of
how
much
information
you
give
,
please
be
POLITE
.
If
you
tell
us
our
software
is
crap
then
we
're probably not going to respond well.
Rob
:
Before
I
close
up
and
say
goodnight
,
I
'd like to say that I
agree
with
Eric
.
Reporting
problems
and
/
or
helpful
criticism
in
a
polite
manner
always
yields
the
best
results
.
Peace
all

and
happy

early

sheesh

We
're going
insane
.
Ya
know
,
I
'm not too happy with the Gaim UI. I dont know
how
the
rest
of
you
feel
but
it
's time for a nice overhaul. In the
next
few
days
I
'll be sitting down with some of my friends and coming
up
with
an
improved
interface
.
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
it

It
'll
include
better
looking

hopefully

Rob
Flynn
after
not
having
enough
sleep
.
Eric
:
I
've had less sleep than Rob, I can guarantee you that. There'
s
actually
a
lot
going
on
in
this
release
,
despite
2
releases
2
days
ago
.
Don
't ask me how; I think the elves had something to do with it.
Oscar
support
is
almost
to
the
point
where
I
'm considering removing
the
'experimental'
label
from
configure
.
For
those
of
you
brave
enough
to
try
it
,
I
'd like feedback. (And if you happen to write a patch to
fix
some
of
the
stuff
that
would
be
really
cool
too
.
)
Hopefully
for
the
next
release
,
in
addition
to
the
cool
new
UI
,
Gaim
/
Faim
will
be
able
to
do
nearly
everything
Gaim
/
TOC
can
do
.
(
Big
things
coming
in
0.9

,
I
can
feel
it

)
And
just
remember
,
you
*
can
*
have
too
many
gummi
candies
.
Especially
if
you
eat
nearly
a
whole
kilo
of
them
.
Believe
me

I
know
.
But
the
gummi
cherries
are
damn
good

's and girls. There'

great

We
just
got
our
company
website
up
and
the
product
development
is
going
pretty
smooth
.
Life
's pretty sweet now.
We
've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There'
s
some
file
transfer
(
receive
)
support
for
those
of
you
who
have
been
wanting
it
for
a
while
.
There
's some other misc. goodies tossed in as
well
.
Enjoy
!!
Oh

,
we
need
a

Come
up

Well
guys
,
looks
like
we
got
some
nifty
things
in
this
version
.
TrueType
Fonts
are
supported
for
those
XFSTT
buffs
out
there
(
or
whatever
else
you
use
)
.
A
crap
load
of
those
plaguing
memory
leaks
have
FINALLY
been
fixed
.
My
brother
,
Jeramey
,
and
a
new
friend
Peter
Teichan
helped
stomp
those
babies
out
.
A
rad
guy
by
the
name
of
Eric
Warmenhoven
has
been
really
sweet
lately
and
has
all
but
rewritten
the
Gnome
Applet
support
:)
.
He
submitted
patch
after
patch
.
I
finally
got
annoyed
with
him
(
just
kidding
bud
)
and
gave
him
CVS
access
.
Look
for
Gnome
Applet
support
in
Gaim
to
start
improving
.
That
's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive
support
will
be
in
0.9

is
due
out
soon

hacking
away
at
a
new
configuration
format
for
Gaim
.
Looks
like
we
're running .gaimrc
version
1
now
.
Gotta
love
it
.
I
got
bored
and
hacked
in
a
couple
font
properties
that
will
,
in
time
,
contain
more
features
.
That
's about it
for
this
version
--
cept
for
that
memory
leak
we
fixed
.
Shush
!
We
're
not
plumbers

Extra
special
update
**
Well
guys
,
it
looks
like
we
all
stopped
working
on
gaim
,
moved
to
California
,
and
took
up
a
new
job
.
Don
't worry though, those beach bums out here havent
worn
off
on
us
yet
.
I
've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue
development
ont
he
prohect
.
Hopefully
we
wont
have
any
more
five
month
braks
in
the
project
.
Sorry
about
that
,
guys
:)

Umm

Dont
ask
.
Silly
memory
leak
.
For
those
of
you
who
wondered
,
you
were
losing
about
256
bytes
every
25
seconds
for
each
person
you
have
on
your
contact
list
.
Make
fun
of
us
.
Better
yet
..
Send
us
beer
.
We
'll do better :)

Welp
,
All
of
you
boys
and
girls
who
run
Mandrake
and
have
some
problems
with
Gaim
working
properly
,
please
check
out
the
FAQ
file
.
It
contains
a
nice
fix
submitted
by
one
of
our
users
.
I
hope
this
works
for
you
guys
!
Jim
appears
to
have
intoxicated
himself
.
This
is
,
as
always
,
a
Good
Thing
(
tm
)
.
His
late
-
night
adventure
with
the
liquid
-
bread
food
group
lead
to
the
birth
of
a
nice
little
feature
called
`
The
Lag
-
O
-
Meter
'. Dont
ask
,
just
try
it
out
:)
.
It
is
pretty
pointless
if
you
have
a
super
-
fast
connection
but
if
you
are
a
modem
user
,
like
many
of
us
are
,
then
try
it
out
.
There
's also some idle preferences and some other little random
bug
fixes
.
Check
'em out yo :)

Get
Along
Lil
' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new
version
of
gaim
for
you
guys
to
play
with
.
Be
gentle
now
,
it
has
a
few
new
fetures
.
The
HTML
widget
is
now
more
robust
and
we
have
*
da

*
HTTP
proxy
support
.
Oh
By
The
Way
,
Do
not
pay
too
much
attention
to
what
we
are
doing
with
this
release
.
We
are
all
a
little
bit
happy
tonight
.
You
must
love
life
.
This
is
a
special
release
of
gaim
.
We
will
be
releasing
some
wonderful
photographs
soon
..
or
perhaps
if
we
get
the
bloody
webcam
working
then
we
will
take
a
couple
of
quick
snapshots
.
Looks
like
the
Gaim
developers
convention
(
cool
name
huh
)
that
we
had
this
weekend
in
Auburn
,
AL
went
wonderfully
:)
.
yum
yum
yum
.
Hahahah
.
Oh
by
the
way
.
Beware
of
insecure
rednecks
in
the
deli
.
Bad
things
.
In
(
non
)
related
news
,
Jeramey
could
not
successfully
slaughter
the
one
pound
hamburger
that
he
ordered
.
(
I
think
he
could
have
done
it
but
he
wasn
't feeling very well at the time).
Oh
Yes
,
New
Logo
Too
:)

Thanks

Just
a
little
side
-
note
:
it
looks
like
we
didnt
make
the
release
that
we
had
expected
during
the
Gaim
Convention
.
Maybe
we
partied
too
much
?
I
am
not
sure
.
I
remember
watching
the
sun
rise
before
I
went
to
bed
,
though
.
Oh
well
.
Here
's your release! Enjoy!
By
The
Way
,
we
have
uploaded
our
party
pictures
to
a
website
.

spectacular
but

girls

it
's that time again! Yup, time for the good

fairy

come
bless
us
with
her
infinite
wisdom
and
divine
presence
.
Umm

something
like
that

Anyways
,
this
release
has
several
little
"bad"
network
fixes
(
as
Jim
likes
to
say
)
and
a
couple
touch
-
ups
to
a
few
other
features
.
It
also
features
preliminary
oscar
support
.
Thanks
to
Jim
and
Adam
(
"the libfaim guy"
)
hehe
:)
We
have
also
corrected
a
problem
with
gaim
not
wainting
to
correctly
save
your
password
if
you
have
an
underscore
in
it
.
Thanks
to
w1za7d
for
pointing
out
the
underscore
problem

have also been fixed in passwords. :o)

Apologies

it
out
there
