* Fixed an MSN login bug.
* Fixed tab-related bugs where some tabs wouldn't close and were
receiving the wrong event notifications.
* Yahoo chat should work for some people now, but it is still buggy.
Christian: This is a small bug fix release, but it should fix a couple
of annoying bugs people have run into. For those who have had
libpng issues, where buttons weren't being displayed, please
read the FAQ. This is now covered in it.
The next release will likely be the first big release in awhile.
I've been working on a status rewrite for Gaim, which will
naturally filter down into Gaim for Qtopia. You'll finally be
able to set Away and such.

* Added a preferences dialog.
* Added support for showing group numbers in the buddy list.

* Fixed a bug where the Join/Open Chat button did nothing if no node
was selected.
* Closing the window on a conversation no longer closes Gaim.
* Groups in the buddy list are now bold.
* Idle times are now on the far right of the buddy list.
* The ellipsis point in the accounts drop-down box is now
dependent on the width of the box.

same person can be grouped under that person's name.
* Added Yahoo color support.
* Added Yahoo chat and conference support.
* Added support for the new Yahoo and MSN protocols.

the buddy list.
* Fixed a crash when pressing the chat button when no buddies, groups,
or chats are selected in the buddy list.
* The send button is now only clickable if text is entered in the
text box in conversations.
Christian: It's been awhile between releases, but this one should be
a good one. I've been spending a lot of time on Gaim to core/UI
split what I could, and that gave us some niceties for qpe-gaim.
For example, you can now retrieve a user's profile information.
Several bugs have been fixed, and some new features, like a new
Jabber protocol, Contact support, and new Yahoo features, made it
into Gaim/libgaim. There are likely going to be some bugs in
this release, but I wanted to get something out that was improved
over 0.2. Future versions are going to be really nice, and feature
such things as buddy list reorganizing, message notification, and
customizable preferences.
version 0.2 (Friday, 15-August-2003):
* Fixed a bug where Gaim would crash if libgaim-plugins-oscar
wasn't installed.
* Fixed the buttons on the input dialog a bit.
* Fixed the userlist toggle buton.
* Fixed a bug where tab color changes got stuck.
* Fixed the focus on the entry widget when switching tabs.
* Fixed the delay in expanding and collapsing groups.
* Fixed a bug where chats in the buddy list weren't getting icons.
* Added options for adding chats to the buddy list and joining
chats.
* Added a new IRC protocol icon.
* Added a new Send Message icon.
* Added idle times to the buddy list.
* Moved the Add Buddy and Add Group buttons into a drop-down
Add menu.
* Messages can now be sent to users not on the buddy list.
* Events in a conversation or chat, such as a user joining or a
buddy signing off, now greys the text on the tab.
* Double-clicking chats in the buddy list now joins the chat.
* The protocol icons for offline accounts in the accounts window
are now dimmed.
Christian: It's not too long after the previous release, but there
have been many bug fixes and feature enhancements. The UI has
also been cleaned up a bit. For example, it should be easier
to tell which accounts are signed on and which aren't. It's a
pretty good 0.2 release. 0.3 is going to have new goodies,
such as new message notification and preferences. As always,
if you have questions, please check the FAQ. Bug reports go
to the trackers.
version 0.1 (Sunday, 10-August-2003):
* Initial release.
Christian: Wow, finally an actual release of Gaim for Qtopia! The
Gaim developers have spent the past 10 months or so working on
our core/UI split so things like this would be possible, and
here's the first result. Yes, this is a native port of Gaim to
the Qtopia Embedded environment for Linux-based PDAs. It's
pretty good for a 0.1 release, but many things won't be there,
such as blocking users, adding chats to your buddy list, and a
tray icon. I'll get to those in time. For now, enjoy, and if
there are any bugs (I'm sure there will be ;), please click
