Gaim: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Client that's good for the soul!
version 2.0.0:
Build Changes:
* With the Core/UI split completed, it is now possible to build Gaim
without any UIs, creating a libgaim library upon which other UIs
may be constructed
* A new ncurses-based console UI called gaim-text is now available
(Sadrul Habib Chowdhury, Google Summer of Code)
* Reorganized the source tree to split apart the code for the UI
changes and libgaim targets
* libxml2 is now required. We switched from gmarkup to libxml2 for
more correct XML parsing.
Status System:
* The code dealing with buddy and account status, away messages,
away states, online/offline, etc has been completely rewritten.
Huge thanks to Christian Hammond, Dave West, Daniel Atallah and
Sadrul Habib Chowdhury.
* Your status can now be set from inside the buddy list using the
selector at the bottom of the window.
* To see messages when a buddy signs on or off, goes away, or
becomes idle, load the "Buddy State Notification" plugin
Buddy List:
* Performance when manipulating and displaying the buddy list has
been significantly improved (Aaron Sheldon, Google Summer of Code)
* Buddy icons are now shown in tooltips (Felipe Contreras)
* Tooltips now contain additional information about a "Person" that
contains multiple online buddies
* Added a "Last Seen" field to buddy tooltips
* Contacts will auto-expand when buddies are dragged around

will remain hidden when Gaim is started again (Scott Shedden)
* Improved buddy list searching with CTRL+F
* Ability to set a buddy icon for all of your accounts at once via
the buddy list (You can still set per-account icons via the
account editor)
* The space wasted by the group expanders has been eliminated and
the expander setting in .gtkrc-2.0 is no longer needed
* Authorization requests don't popup new dialogs any more. They are
displayed at the bottom of the buddy list instead.
* New mail notifications don't popup new dialogs any more. The are
displayed at the top of the buddylist instead.
Conversations and Chats:
* Timestamps honor the locale. To use the traditional style,
enable the "Message Timestamp Formats" plugin. The plugin
also provides options to show dates in timestamps.
* Messages from buddies in the same "Person" will automatically
use the same conversation window.
* The "Send As" menu has been replaced with a more appropriate
"Send To" menu based on "Persons" on your buddy list
* Message formatting persists between messages (Igor Belyi)
* Full message background colors are now supported
* Smooth scrolling when receiving a new message
* Screenname colors in chats now chosen intelligently
* Conversation buffer scrollback limited to avoid large memory
usage in active conversations
* Control-Shift-Tab will reverse cycle through the conversation tabs
(James Vega)
* Many problems related to having an IM conversation and a chat open
with the same name are fixed (Andrew Hart)
* Warning dialog when closing a window with unread IM messages
* In chats right-click on names in the conversation window to
IM/Send File/Get info/ignore the user
* Added tab management options to the tab right-click menu (Sadrul Habib
Chowdhury)
* Brand new message queueing system. Sounds are played when a
message is queued rather than when the message is dequeued
(Casey Harkins)
* Ability to find the last message from a user in a chat (Levi Bard
and Sadrul Habib Chowdhury)
* Formatting is preserved across messages
(There are known issues with pasting formatted text. Either use "Paste
as Plain Text", hit Ctrl-R after pasting, or use the Clear Formatting
button on the toolbar.)

improved (Aaron Sheldon, Google Summer of Code)
Sounds:
* Beautiful new default sounds (Brad Turcotte)

* When opening the log viewer, show the most recent log by default
(Peter McCurdy)
* Logs are now saved with the current timezone, which is displayed
in the log viewer
* Text logs are linkified, so URLs are clickable
* The old logger now caches file offsets, so opening the log viewer
for buddies with old logs should be much faster now if you have large
log files (except the first time for a log, when the cache is built)

menu of the Buddy List
