Alpha-13 -----------------------------------------------------------

2004-06-26
	Fixed Yahoo authentication			(Go Craig! --Meredydd)
	Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>

	Fixed MSN upward list sync, nuking random error dialogs along the way.
	Fixed a seggie in inlined_data handling.
	Release Alpha-13, because the Yahoo fix is important.

2004-06-18
	Data messages framework. See doc/GUI_SPEC for a full explanation.
	Only implemented IM encapsulation for small inline messages. There
	is, however, now an API for full file transfer - with the exception
	of notifying that it's arrived, or progress dialogs. Stay tuned.

Alpha-12 -----------------------------------------------------------

2004-06-09
	Fixed a positively cretinous MSN segfault.
	Made misc and yahoo build
	Autotrans now shows both original and translated text. We need to
	do something about formatting and newlines, though.
	Rainbow made less aggressive, will now never expand a message over
	2kb, so will now play nice with AIM

2004-06-08
	Updates for yahoo server side disconnection and toc finally works
	(Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>)

2004-06-07
	MSN list management now sane (using yes/no dialogs for
	authorisation, and you can now delete someone and have them
	stay deleted). Small fix to Hidden handling.
	Contacts are now automatically removed when their last
	account is deleted.

2004-06-02
	Synced back up with now-working subversion. A few fixes in the 
	core, "phone home" functionality, WebBuddy updates, the works.
	MSN now properly fixed, at last
	Streaming implementation got a few changes and some additions
	(doesn't break any existing code, but stear clear of buffer
	streams until I'm done)
	Enjoy!

2004-05-10

2004-02-21
	Fixed startup code to use the new plugins directory
	(Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>)

2004-02-19
	Started pulling my weight again - chats with contacts are now
	logged correctly, if you enable the dire-looking prefs option.
	As part of this, I've cleaned up huge inefficiencies in the
	text-processing code (specifically HTML conversions). Introduced
	an eb_sent_message() to avoid plugins calling "deep" functions
	(you shouldn't have to touch anything with _gui_ in the  name)
	- which is just as well, as they've now all started passing around
	fully-parsed HTML trees.
	Core also now furnishes chat logs on request (by id only, no search)

2004-02-18
	Fixed yahoo plugin local account status
	cleaned up some code formatting
	(Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>)

2004-02-18
	Committed patches by Philip Tellis <philip.tellis@gmx.net> to
	fix build process, complain rather than die on absence of gnutls,
	and make yahoo.c C compliant rather than C++ only.
	Yet more tinkering with chat logs, making sure to neuter them
	before promoting to bleeding.
	Made ignoring contacts persistent across core sessions (oops.
	Found out about that one the hard way, let me tell you...)

2004-02-16 (written 2004-01-12)
	Fixed failure to update buddies coming back from being Away on AIM
	First found by Matt Roberts <mroberts141@cox.net>, vital
	help characterising by Torrey Searle <tsearle@indigosw.com>

2004-02-16
	Fixed yahoo plugin to use eb_buddy_login, fixed logout code, and
	cleaned up some code formatting
	(Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>)

2004-02-12
	Upstream libyahoo2 changes, and fixed broken remove_handler code
	(Craig West <acwest-everybuddy@craigwest.net>)

	ELH - Modifications to support Win32 Compilation using MinGW.
	As well as modifications to get plugins and core running.

	for flooding by irritable ircds

2004-01-03
	Hacked MSN to auto-add buddies on receipt of a status message

2003-12-28
	Applied patches by Cory McWilliams <mcwilc@rpi.edu>
	to fix a few GUIcomms booboos, and generally clean up IRC

(sometime)
	Changed the code for held message responses to make life easier
	for "dumb" UIs. OLD VERSIONS OF EBQT NOW IGNORE HELD MESSAGES.

Alpha-10 -----------------------------------------------------------

2003-11-12
	Meredydd again! Committed a bunch of stuff I've done since I
	lost access:
	SOCKS 5 proxies now work properly (nothing like incentive, eh?)
	Guaranteed-length reads, splatting odd segfaults in MSN and
	hangs in gui_comms.c among other things
	Yahoo glue code rewritten from scratch. Almost completely
	working now.
	Made automatic buddy adds a little more graceful
	(eb_add_account_plus())
	Added a proper command-line client (eb-console), complete with
	readline, tab completion, context-sensitive help, etc
	Probably forgot a couple of things I did. It's been a while.
	To say it's time for a new alpha would be an understatement.

2003-09-20
	Apply MSN Passport authentication patch from Anonymous Coward.
	Committed by cmb since Meredydd is on the wrong side of a school
	firewall "until further notice" (long story short: viruses, leaked
	emails, technophobe headmaster, these things happen).

2003-07-10
	Fixed MSN "Hidden" handling

(in between)
	A lot of stuff, including exams. Couple of small segfault fixes.
	Lots of ChocoBuddy.

2003-06-11
	Added MSN "Hidden" handling

	library

2003-06-03
	Fixed auto-trans a little bit (doesn't choke so much
	on HTML tags now)

???
	Fixed up the build system, modifications in plugins
	now cause a re-link when using ABS (d'oh, sorry)

2003-05-20
	Splatted a segfault to do with away messages (forgot to
	allocate space for the null zero - whoops).
	Added a festival speaker (in misc/)
	TOC charset translation now works (hurrah for accents!)
	Rainbow no longer mucks up multi-byte chars

2003-05-19

	Alex)

	"holding_message" command properly implemented
	eb-cmd stuff coming out of my ears
	MSN state-inconsistency fix

Alpha-8 ------------------------------------------------------------

2003-04-28
	IRC /topic and /join support
	Splatted that Yahoo segfault! YES!
	IRC channels do sensible things over server disconnect (untested)
	Groupchats now named (they work in ebqt already - hats off to 
	Chris!)
	IRC segfault caused by the above fixed (whoops)
	I think this warrants another alpha, rally

2003-04-27
	Moved repositories, cleanup work. Separated projects into their 
	own directories, although the test UI client (GUIcomms) and 
	eb-cmd still live with the core

2003-04-22
	Streams work. All praise.

Alpha-7 ------------------------------------------------------------

2003-04-08
	Implemented object locking (sort of like a ref count - prevents 
	contacts, buddies, etc being deleted while dialogs/group chats/etc 
	are open on them)
	Implementing contact-,group-,generic- and account-level actions
	Auto-trans II - The Return Of The Babelfish

Sometime (date unknown)

	enventually allow log files and file transfer
