v0.59.3 released! We broke our Yahoo!

September 15th, 2002 - 12:26PM EDT

Hey all, Gaim v0.59.3 has been released. This is mostly a release to fix the problem that some people experience with signing on to the Yahoo Messenger service. It also changes the color binding in Conversation windows to Ctrl+K as opposed to Ctrl+C. Any other fixes can be learned of via the ChangeLog.

Thanks to Benjamin Miller, I just posted some Solaris binaries for 0.59.3.


Gaim for Win32!

September 13th, 2002 - 1:45PM EDT

That's right, folks! It's Friday 13th and something scary has happened. We've posted an experimental alpha release of Gaim for Windows. There are some problems with the port but we're interested in hearing your results. This has only been tested with Windows 2000.

The following protocols are supported in this release as plugins: Oscar(AIM/ICQ), TOC, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC.

You can find the release here. Enjoy, and please understand that this is only an alpha release. If you have any comments, etc., please send mail to gaim@marko.net.

A big thanks to Herman Bloggs for his work on the Win32 release.


v0.59.2 is released! Kev P. Henry still rocks!

September 09th, 2002 - 12:41PM EDT

Gaim v0.59.2 has been released. This release contains some translation updates and mostly bug fixes. We're still actively working on the GTK2 port, as well. It's going to be nice. :-). Talk to your good friend ChangeLog if you have any questions.

And yes, Kev P. Henry still rocks. Thanks, Kev!


v0.59.1 released! Now with twice the points!

August 26th, 2002 - 12:11AM EDT

We've gone and done something drastic. The stress of trying to maintain two versions of GTK in the same tree got to us so we went and branched. 0.59.x is our GTK+ 1.2 stable branch which will contain only bugfixes. New features will be developed on CVS HEAD and releases will continue with our traditional numbering scheme. We know things have been really slow over the summer, but they'll definitely pick up again now that the summer is ending. Gaim 0.59.1 contains a few important fixes, including a fix for a security vulnerability for those who use the manual browser option, and a few fixes for proxies. Check the ChangeLog.

* Update 08/26/2002 20:37PM EDT *

Hi again; I just put up a new set of 0.59.1 rpm's to fix a problem with the perl dependencies, and also to include some PPC rpms. Thanks to Ethan Blanton for the RPMs.


gettext problems resolved

August 19th, 2002 - 12:26PM PDT

It looks like we finally got all of the gettext 0.11.x and automake 1.6 problems fixed. If you use either of these and have had problems compiling Gaim, please check out a copy from CVS and try again. If it doesn't work, drop by #gaim on irc.freenode.net (formerly OPN) and let me (ChipX86) know. There is a plan to fork gettext, which has been causing a lot of trouble. See here for details. Thanks to Mike Styne for the informative image.
