defeating that purpose, use control c to pop up the colour picker
instead. I'm not sure exactly when the gaim people changed this
(somewhere between 0.59.1 and 0.59.3), but I think it's rather ill
advised.
0.59.3 (09/14/2002):
Rob: This really has been made a little early. Of course, we figured
that some of you may like to connect to Yahoo. Sorry about that
little blunder. I blame it on George.
Sean: That was just a silly mistake--there's no need to make George
feel bad! There's also some nice i18n fixes in there by Matt Wilson
from RedHat.
George: Why doesn't anybody love me?
0.59.2 (09/09/2002):
Rob: This time Sean couldn't be with us. I finally got my linux box
some what back in order. Life has been extremely hectic for both Sean
and myself lately, I think. Sean will have his cable connection soon
and my linux box should be completely happy again soon. Thanks to
everyone that kept the patches coming in and organized while we
were busy (chip, luke, robot, etc.)

The new iconv() support has been explicitly disabled for now until I can
get it right across both packages.
gaim-gnome, which will install the GNOME panel applet instead of the stand-
alone client. Based in part on PR 16835 from Julio Merino, with differences
mainly due to the fact that I started this before I was pointed at his PR.

Changes:
0.54 (03/14/2002):
Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this
release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific
smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble*
Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced
a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding
late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working,
it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits!
0.53 (02/28/2002):
Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a
nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-)

It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy
list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct
Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will
be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing
notification too. Hooray!
