Gaim Releases Version 1.0.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 17, 2004 @08:04PM from the unpossible dept.

bfree writes "Congratulations to all in the gaim team as they release for download version 1.0.0 (changelog). For those who don't know what gaim is, you could read the full answer on their site but for the lazy: 'Gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM (Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.' Gaim is also the 2nd most active project on Sourceforge and the 4th most popular on Freshmeat and seemingly all round #1 Free IM client!"

I just used Trillian to tell my buddies on AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC about gaim 1.0.0
They don't care.

But a version 1 implies no more bugs, wil there be no bugs in GAIM??

yes, there will NEVER be any bugs in GAIM, EVER!! Even when Yahoo purposely breaks their protocol again, the super hyper gaim fairies will magically fix connectivity for you. We are blessed!
That's cool and all, but... by Parnic · 2004-09-17 21:01 · Score: 5, Funny

I won't be happy until 1.0.0.0 comes out...hopefully that will fix the nasty "version number isn't obfuscated enough" bug.

Because Kopete went to 0.9 recently?
