Gaim 0.82 - Can I get an amen?
Three weeks again, baby. Dig the ChangeLog. This release comes on the heels (or, with any luck, the toes) of a few unfortunate security problems in Gaim. All known problems have been fixed in 0.82, and we urge you to upgrade to this release. For anyone wishing to continue using 0.81, you can download a patch that fixes these security vulnerabilities. This patch includes the fixes for the vulnerabilities announced on August 22nd.
We've also created a Gaim Security Vulnerability Index that will be used to list vulnerabilities in the future.
Security Vulnerabilities
A few security vulnerabilites were recently discovered in Gaim. Details are here, or you can skip straight to the patch. Gaim 0.82 will be released, with fixes, this Thursday.
Sound submissions
I just put up the sound submissions I've received so far to http://gaim.sourceforge.net/sounds. The contest isn't over yet. Keep submitting sounds. Thanks to everyone who's sent some in.
Sounds contest!
Announcing:
The Gaim Sounds Contest
The current Gaim sounds have served us well, but frankly, they're not that good. They're originally from AOL's initial release of TiK and we've decided that they're due for replacement. So, potential sound engineers, create some replacement sounds for Gaim and mail them to sean.egan@binghamton.edu. There's no deadline yet, but we'll decide on one depending on many submissions we get.
*Update 08/11/04 11:18AM EST*
We're already considering the notion of "sound themes." Please don't write the mailing list to suggest it.
0.81 released!
0.81 doesn't have too much in the way of new features, but we closed about 240 bugs since the last release. Check out the new features, and some (240 bullet points would be a bit much) of the bug fixes in the ChangeLog. Also, I've posted some new screenshots to reflect some of the amazing work that's been going on the past few months.
