At last ! Aapje Messenger Beta 0.0.1 has been released !
The beta is finished at last :-) A beta still though, which
is most certainly true after a quick glance at TODO ;-)
Nevertheless, Aapje has matured enough for it to be considered
beta software(By me at least ;-)), and has become pretty
useable over time, in fact, I use it for everyday conversations
now with hardly any crashes(Or maybe that's because I know hos
to avoid them ;-)).
Anyways, what's new:
- It's _much_ more stable
- I dare say it's become faster, at least on certain points
- Lots of broken things have been fixed and deprecated garbage
and cruft(such as the managewindow mode) have been removed
- We've got a nice privacy tab for AL/BL management, a log
viewer and full message parsing(Fonts, colors, effects)
- The look has been given some work, we now have an nice help
window, an about box, nice Monkey menu's, a Nick+Status screen
above the contact list, and more generic window layouts
- Full group support, groups can now be turned off, only show
online contacts, be edited, and users moved from and to them
- Aliasses for your contacts, no more annoying nicks ! ;-)
- Hotmail inbox checking and mail-sending using your browser
of choice
- Improved autoconf/automake functionality, like make distcheck
for RPM builds
- It compiles on Solaris, OpenBSD and FreeBSD now(Tested)
There's still quite a lot to do before we can start thinking
about a stable version, and as Alex has been pretty busy
lately(He hasn't been able to contribute pretty much anything
for the past 2 months or so, leaving me responsible for most
of the work on the beta), but I'm sure we'll pull through and
get it done in a fair amount of time for you :-) For now,
enjoy this release, test it well, and send us your feedback !

Aapje Update! (0.01-4)
There are some problems with some messenger-clones that use the ip instead of the hostname of messenger.hotmail.com. Aapje Messenger is one of those clones (shame! SHAME ON US! *slap*).
Latest deb is now available for download, a reduced tarball will be uploaded shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience (well, it's still 0.01, so you could have expected it ;o)
0.02 will hopefully be released this week, stay with us! :o)

1000st commit!
Congrats to everyone who contributed to the project, it were good times and it were bad times, but we did make it *barely* ;)
to celebrate, aapje now has a page on freshmeat, in the hope that other whine^H^H^H^H^Hbetatesters join the segfault-feast with us!

Sometime next week we'll have an official aapje 0.01 launch (yes, there are people who don't think aapje is perfect ;)

The move to Sourceforge
After 4+ months of development, testing, cursing and designing, Aapje Messenger is turning out to be one hell of a messenger-client. The Aapje site will be available on aapje.sourceforge.net soon, the CVS will be populated as well...
