Recent releases


Changes: This is another minor bugfix release which fixes problems that have surfaced when compiling with GNOME support, and compiling with the gcc 3.xx series of compilers. Lots of namespace tidying up and tidying for gcc 3.1 was done.


Changes: This release fixes many small bugs that were found since the 0.3.0 major release. It works better behind a firewall (port binding ranges can be specified). The problems with configure failing on Red Hat systems have been fixed.


Changes: This release has many major changes: custom away messages, spell checking in message boxes, white pages searches (detailed, by UIN and keyword), invisibility, window indication of messages, support for authorisation requests, auto-away on idle timeouts, more user information, and the ability to retrieve and update your own user information.


Changes: Bugfixes for sending messages more reliably and the GNOME applet.


Changes: Numerous bugfixes, improved history behaviour, and definite compile support for gcc 3.0.

We've got to the bottom of this problem, it's a problem in a broken autoconf version. I've distributed quick fixes for the configure script that should fix it. They can be found at:
