Re: Gaim 0.60 release; CVS debs on ice
Rob,
I've been playing with the new Gaim since you uploaded to unstable
yesterday. I must say that I am impressed, and am very happy to see the
progress you guys have made. This definitely is the best Gaim release
ever. Not only is it pleasant to the eye (nice graphics and GUI) but it
is also very functional and works great. Excellent port to GTK2!
Thanks for the great work, both as upstream maintainer and as maintainer
of the Debian packages.
You guys rock!
Cheers,
Eloy.-
