Guifications 2.16 Released!
jbailey

After nearly seven months of inactivity, I got off my lazy rear and did some work on Guifications 2. This work resulted in two releases today! Guifications 2.15 had some issues on many non-Windows systems, so we fixed those issues and cut 2.16 for general consumption. Head on over to the Downloads section to have a look!

Purple Plugin Pack 2.1.1 Released!
jbailey

Well, since I screwed up the 2.1.0 release, I had to release 2.1.1 to fix the convbadger build. We now have proper infrastructure distributed to cause the plugin to build on Windows and other platforms we work on.

We'll call this release the "rekkanoryo is an idiot" release. Head on over to the Downloads section to get it!

Sorry for the screwup!

Purple Plugin Pack 2.0.0 Released!
jbailey

We have released the Purple Plugin Pack version 2.0.0! It includes a slew of bug fixes, including fixes for some particularly irritating crashes in the Album plugin. We also included some new plugins and added some new features to some existing plugins.

With the release of Purple Plugin Pack 2.0.0, we have changed our version numbering scheme. The new scheme works like this:

  • The format is major.minor.micro.
  • The major number follows libpurple's major number. This is intended to indicate the specific version of libpurple we support with that release.
  • The minor version reflects the state of the plugins list within the Plugin Pack. If we add or remove plugins, we will increment this number. Under certain circumstances determined by a quorum of our developers, massive rewrites that fundamentally change a given plugin such that the result could effectively be called removing one plugin and adding another will also cause a minor version increment. The minor version will increment by exactly one for each release in which these happen, even if multiple plugins are added/changed/rewritten.
  • The micro version increments for any other changes. This includes bugfix only releases or releases in which our build system changes.

Due to the endless stream of spam we have been receiving on our ticket system, I am disallowing the creation or modification of bugs, feature requests, and themes on this site until further notice. Themes can still be added to the Sourceforge.net tracker.

Problems with Guifications 2.13beta6 on Windows
jbailey

We've had a few reports of Guifications 2.13beta6 not appearing in the Plugins dialog in Gaim 2.0.0beta6. One user was able to track this down to what appears to be a problem with the GTK+ 2.10.7 runtime that ships with Gaim. Downgrading to GTK+ 2.10.6 or 2.6.10 will make Guifications load properly again. I'm not sure if this is the correct fix or not, but it works.

Guifications 2.13beta4 Theme Issues
jbailey

We have had several reports that some themes are no longer working with Guifications 2.13beta4. This is due to the new libxml2 dependency of Gaim 2.0.0beta4. The new XML API within Gaim is somewhat pickier about the format of the XML it parses. All of the offending themes contain at least two ocurrances of the following line:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

Remove one instance of the line and you should be fine. You may wish to contact the theme author, particularly if this isn't enough to fix the theme.
