emesene 2.11.9 is out!

Here we come again with a brand new release after a long window of development!
First of all, download links (source) for the impatients: [tarball|zipball] download, extract, run!

Now back on topic, a small list of notable changes:

- Download plugins and themes from within emesene (directly from github)
- A new (and better) Plus! color parser
- A new and improved version of papyon (msn library) inside emesene (with lots of fixes, no more external dependency required)
- A contact management list for the msn protocol (the good ol' Privacy Lists)
- Lots of custom emoticon fixes
- Almost 200 user reported issues were fixed!

Downloads for specific platforms (e.g. Windows, OSX, Linux distros) will come as soon as someone does the dirty work required, as usual...or you can get involved and do the packaging yourself!

Have fun,

to all emesene-git users

From now on, our own version of papyon will live inside emesene tree inside emesene/e3/papylib/papyon

If you're a git user, you won't need to update the papyon submodule anymore, core devs will take care of that if needed.


A quick reminder on how to stay in sync with emesene-git, quoting the wiki:

You’ll want to stay in sync with the upstream master branch on emesene/emesene. The easiest way to do this is by adding it as an remote branch

git remote add upstream git://github.com/emesene/emesene.git (it’s just an alias)
Now, make sure you don’t have uncommitted changes! (git status is your friend)
git pull upstream master will merge the upstream repo into yours. If there are conflicts, solve it or git reset --hard

If you want to contribute fixes/features to our own version of papyon, take a look at https://github.com/emesene/papyon
That's the repo we are using for simple fixes and other stuff, from which we'll backport with straight-copy inside the "real" emesene tree

Have fun,
