An Instant Message Client for Gnome using the Jabber Protocol (which

content is there to send. Shift+Return combination can be used to send
multiline text messages (Martyn).

right click options) (Martyn).

chat or message window) (Martyn).

* Added feature to toggle scrolling on new log information (Martyn).

presence or message errors in the event viewer (Martyn).

name on the roster (this can be configured to be on or off) (Martyn).

* Improved the Makefiles to put the images (PNGs) into
${prefix}/share/pixmaps instead of
${prefix}/share/gnome-jabber.  Also updated the HTML files generated
for the history to include encoding information. Updated notification
icon to be transparant. (Zygimantas Berucka).

* Added translation: es (Pedro Cuevas)

* Added translation: de (Colin Marquardt) 

* Code clean up (Martyn).

Fixes
=====

* SF Tracker #767952: Presence priority was being ignored (Maciej
Bilas).  

* SF Patch #766812: When receiving a roster with particular (Russian)
content caused problems when printing the information incoming from
the socket (Andrey Lebedev).  

* SF Tracker #768390: Presence range was not correct, it should be
-128 to +127, (Maciej Bilas). 

* SF Tracker #769335: Writing the log file with
g_io_channel_write_chars() was using the % character in the same way
printf would (Martyn). 

* SF Tracker #771259: Fixed issues with printing multibyte characters
into the GtkTextView of the chat, message, headline and group message
windows (Colin Marquardt, Ben Smith).

* SF Patch #772534: Improved icons. Much Much better IMO. Thanks again
for doing these (Colin Marquardt).
j
* SF Tracker #773288: Unnecessary libXML critical errors when parsing
incomplete and/or badly formed xml.  This was happening because the
parser was still waiting information in from the socket.  Now the
parser checks for simple xml form (open and closing chevrons) (Colin
Marquardt). 

* SF Tracker #772463: Fixed compilation error (Colin Marquardt).

* SF Tracker #773288: Improved the way multiple resources are shown
(eg. this usually occurs when the user logs on with Gnome Jabber and
then again with another client like PSI) (Maciej Bilas).

* SF Tracker #773011: Fixed crash where xml entities were not escaped
and were being passed to markup in event viewer and roster (Maciej
Bilas).

* Fixed unhandled situation when requesting service requirements
(before registering) fails for some reason (Martyn).

* Fixed problem where the infoquery request to get the time locally
reported the timezone to always be BST.  now it uses tm->tm_zone
(Martyn).

* Fixed problem which occured when receiving chat sessions and having
two dialogs (Colin Marquardt).

* Improved the interface in places (browsing/registering services and
the roster windows) (Martyn).

* Fixed CSS file not being used for history, also fixed problems with
history not being written when JID resource was different (Martyn).

* Fixed an issue with the xml parsing module.  Traversing the tree
while remaining on the same parent node was failing (Andrey Lebedev).
