Re: Gaim 1.0.0 is out!!!!

Re: Gaim 1.0.0 is out!!!!

I'm probly going to build it sometime later today and see if it feels any different... I haven't been able to get the file transfers to work across aolIM and my comp is set up on the DMZ portion of my router... hoping this has fixed it but i haven't read the changelog yet...

This is just a versioning change. There's no big improvements, they're just using a new x.y.z system.

Oh, hey, that explains the sudden 0.82.1 to 1.0.0 version change that I was wondering about.

this is a bit off topic, but why place your computer in a DMZ?
place it behind your router, and forward any ports necessary to your computer, and you won't be reachable from the outside

What if he wants to be reachable...?

he might want to host a webserver on his computer -
fine, forward all trafic on port 80 to the machine.
ssh? port 22.
bf 1942 server? 14567.
msn? 6891-6900.

it's far better to be protected behind a nat than beeing exposed to the internet directly, esp if you run windows.

I have reasons for being in the DMZ 

And I really don't care if anyone 'gets into' this here comp... they're not going to find anything of monetary value...
