XHTML-IM partial support in Tkabber

Tkabber has partial support to render XHTML messages as described in the experimental JEP-0071: XHTML-IM. In this test I used Tkabber CVS 2004-06-24 and Gaim 0.79.

New Tkabber function: file transfer

One of the more demanded Jabber features for the last years has been file transfer. The set of required JEPs has taken a lot of time to be written, a lot of discussions and a lot of hard work from their writers and contributors, but they were finally approved by the Jabber Software Foundation Council around October 2003.

New Tkabber translation: l33t

Celebrating Tkabber second year of life comes the crazy translation to a new emerging language. Nobody really writes in it, nobody wants to read text written in it, but here comes anyway: Tkabber in leet.

New colour theme: Ocean Deep

Here is a new colour theme for Tkabber, based on a gVim colour scheme that I found in Cream.

Happy birthday, Tkabber!

Tkabber turns 2 years old on 3 july 2004. It seems that exactly two years ago the first version was uploaded to jabber.ru CVS. Probably it was in gestation some month, since Tkabber on july 2002 was pretty complete.

New clients come to life, other clients go to Jabber heaven and some of them even reincarnate. The list of Jabber clients grows every time you check it, but not much of them are Free Software, so it's important for Jabber to keep a base of free clients that protect people freedom.

And now if you ask yourself, what will Tkabber add this third year? Well, you can decide with your contributions.

Happy birthday, Tkabber!

It requires BWidget, which rpm I found only in SuSE (and the outdated one), so I made it, too.
