What is it?

===========

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.

 

Where can I find out more?

==========================

You can visit the project web site:

What's New?

===========

 

Gossip now depends on Loudmouth 1.3.4

 

Note: this has a TCP issue which means connections are sometimes dropped

on some routers, to fix this, compile Loudmouth by disabling TCP

stayalives. You can do this by editing the config.h file after

configuring the package and commenting out the USE_TCP_KEEPALIVES #define.

 

It is also recommended that the --with-asyncns switch is used when

building Loudmouth so there are no synchronous DNS lookups blocking the

user interface from drawing.

 

Also new is that group chat backend has been refactored to fix a number

of issues. This mostly affects private chat between contacts from chatrooms.

 

Bugs Fixed:

===========

- Fixed #347026, groupchat topic is changed local even though user have

not the permission (Martyn Russell)

- Fixed #350333, Uncorrect displaying of received private messages from

another groupchat participant (Martyn Russell)

- Fixed #435273, Usability issue: merge status submenu into task icon

menu (Martyn Russell)

- Fixed #522388, Add context menu to groupchat contact list (Igor

Stepura, Martyn Russell)

- Fixed #536683, Find entry behavior a little bit confusing (Martyn Russell)

- Fixed #541651, Contacts are offline if they go offline and come back

online (Martyn Russell)
