What is Gossip
==============

Gossip is an instant messaging client for GNOME with an easy-to-use 
interface, providing users of the GNOME Desktop with a friendly way to 
keep in touch with their friends.


What's new in Gossip 0.10.2
===========================

- Add runtime controlled debugging facilities (Richard).
- Display an event in the group chat window when a user changes the
topic, previously it just happened with no indication of who changed
it or when (Kristian Rietveld).
- Changed the account ID for Jabber IDs back to 'username server' and
make the resource a separate entity in the accounts.xml (note: there
is some extra code to make sure the same problems that occurred last
time don't reoccurr this time with invalid usernames when trying to
connect) (Martyn).
- Updated the spell checker dialog to use "Replace" instead of "OK"
(Martyn).
- Cleaned up the glade windows and dialogs so windows are not shown
automatically, this reduces flickering when they are created (Richard).
- Fixed the assistant used to add accounts so it now accepts a
username of username server and make the resource optional on the next
(connections) page (Martyn).
- Fixed the add account assistant so that account details are properly
checked before proceeding to the following page (Martyn).
- Updated the personal information dialog so there is no longer a
progress bar when saving or loading, it just makes widgets
insensitive. Also the buttons are now Save and Cancel which is clearer
(Martyn).
- Fixed the jabber chatroom join presence handling so it actually
checks the presence message is for the right room instead of just
accepting any old presence message - this means auto-connecting on
startup works properly and will also give the correct error if you
can't join for some reason (Martyn).
- The chatrooms window now allows selection of multiple rooms for
joining, deleteing, etc and the dialog will close when a rooms are
joined. Chatrooms will also be joined on the treeview "row-activate"
signal now (Martyn).
- Updated the CSS used for logging so the font isn't so big (Martyn).
- Improve the X screensaver detection (Richard, Tommi Komulainen).
- Added the 'x' to close separate chat tabs back in (Richard, Martyn).
- Improve the build scripts (Richard, Bryan Pepple).

Tilburg).

- Fixed #331910, Make the accounts info file not readable by others

- Fixed #332058, Don't spell check chat commands like "/me" (Ross
Burton).
- Fixed #332063, Don't spell check numeric strings, e.g. "1234" (Ross
Burton).

chat theme (Richard).
