metabug for 0.8.5 related work

Comment 1

[David Hallowell]

Adding bug 99612 as there's a patch and means I can set a different icon for 
the chatzilla window :) Important IMO

Comment 2

[Robert Ginda]

I'm getting there :)  I was going to add that bug sooner or later.

For future reference, and for others who might be thinking of doing the same,
please don't add bugs durectly to this one.  If I havn't added it in a day or
two, then speak up in the bug you'd like to nominate.

0.8.5 will contain all currently filed patches that work properly, and probably
the strict mode fixes too.  A few new ideas may crop up during the development.
 An XPI should be available on hacksrus sometime this weekend.  I'll add a
comment here when it happens.

Comment 3

[Robert Ginda]

0.8.5-pre1 is now available as an xpi at the hacksrus url mentioned in the URL
field of this bug (the nasty focus issues have been resolved.)  Not every bug
that's marked as blocked by this one is fixed yet, but many are.  I'll come up
with a status whiteboard convention that says which bugs are fixed on the branch
RSN.

I've gone through the entire chatzilla bug list as of now and marked anything I
think can be part of 0.8.5.  If a bug you're interested in didn't make it then
speak up in the bug in question (not here, please.)  Patches are a Good Thing.

Also, I've created a CHATZILLA_0_8_5_BRANCH in extensions/irc.  I'll try to keep
this branch at least as current as the XPI, if not more so.

The following URL will list all branch checkins, in case you're interested in
that kind of thing.

whiteboard phrase "on-branch", here are the interesting queries...

Fixed in branch...

Just a sidenote: I was wondering why you use <img width=0> and not <wbr>.

Comment 7

[James Cox]

I'm gonna spend some time working on dox to make them current. Could anyone 
working on a CZ bug, who needs dox work make a comment on this bug: 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109116

thanks.

Comment 8

[Mark Slater]

What bout bug 80125, adding a logging function to chatzilla? would be really 
neat :)

Comment 9

[David Hallowell]

Problem is there's no patch for bug 80125 so it won't make it in this release.
Speaking of which is this release gonna make it in time for 0.9.6?

Comment 10

[Robert Ginda]

no chance for 0.9.6, probably 0.9.7.

Comment 11

[nick slussar]

I am working on different charset support for Chatzilla (looks like Chatzilla is
the only one unicode irc client ;-) to make it play nice with other clients.
This is about bug <a
href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41564">41564</a>. I am almost
done, but I need to bring that common charset menu used in Navigator, Composer
and Messenger to Chatzilla.

Comment 12

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

I'd love to see the Faces feature get into email and aim clients ; it could be
added by a tooltip-shows-face-when-nick-or-sender-hovered mean. Even Chatzilla
should be able to present a Face like this.
You'll probably need to make a global repository somewhere and you might want
to consider the Faces Archive directory structure : for instance, the Face for
me should be in com/netscape/glazman.png. See Jeff Poskanzer's archives.
This allows a com/netscape/unknown.png which is usually the company's icon of
country's flag (eg fr/unknown.png).

re comment #11. i'm pretty sure ms comic chat supports unicode.

and i'm pretty sure most people don't like ms comic chat.

Attachment: kind of patch for chatzilla checkouted 20011108

looks like i am to lazy to bring normal menus with charset selection, 
but anyway... this is core and it works ;-) if anyone would handle menus
for me - i will be happy.

This patch doesn't belong on this bug.

Attachment: diff against trunk

Here is the diff representing the first candidate for 0.8.5 "final".  You
should be able to generate this yourself by updating to the trunk, and merging
with the branch via `cvs up -jCHATZILLA_0_8_5_BRANCH`.	chatzilla.xul and
readprefs.js conflict, just copy them over from the branch.  I took care of the
conflict resolution over there.

This code is available at hacksrus as 0.8.5-pre23.  Providing pre23 doesn't
have any big problems, I'll land this stuff next week after updating the
changelog.  We need as much testing as possible before 0.9.7 ships, so the
sooner we land, the better.

4 new files in this patch, scripts.xul, popups.xul, menus.xul, and
tasks-irc.gif.	I'll have to remember to cvs add these before checking in.

The gif isn't included in the diff for obvious reasons, the others are there. 
I'll have to remember to cvs add this -kb.

Comment 17

[Robert Ginda]

Here is my 0.8.5 plan...

1. the 0.8.5 branch will be retired.  No more check-ins will happen here.
   the branch will be kept for its CVS history.
2. work will move to the trunk as soon as I get an a=.  When the branch lands,
   all bugs currently dependent on this bug will be marked fixed.
3. the version number will be 0.8.5-rc1, where rc indicates "release candidate"
4. regressions will be caught and fixed before mozilla 0.9.7.  Each checkin will
   increase the rc number.
5. revision number will change 0.8.5, no suffix, when we are confident there
   are no major regressions, but no later than mozilla 0.9.7.

Any regressions should have bugs filed, and should depend on this bug so they
are easy to find.

Brendan, the ChatZilla 0.8.5-pre series has been around for almost two months
now, available as an installable XPI.  It has been tested by more than a handful
of moznet users, and does not introduce any significant regressions.  I'm
seeking your rs= (or a=) to land on the trunk, in order that we might get wider
testing before mozilla 0.9.7.

rs=[e-mail] on any of this, just don't break anything in the default
builds!

Comment 19

[Robert Ginda]

0.8.5-rc1 has landed on the trunk.  Any bugs blocked by this one will be fixed
by 0.8.5 final, which will be by 0.9.7.

Comment 20

[Robert Ginda]

0.8.5 checked in, marking fixed.
