version 0.6.0

[technosaurus]

Here is the default version without any deprecated clients optimized for size (613kb binary).

These are the plugins and their expanded sizes in kb:

152 aim-oscar.so 8 import_gnomeicu.so 92 msn2.so
12 autotrans.so 12 importicq.so 8 notes.so
8 custmsg.so 8 importlicq.so 12 rainbow.so
8 img2jpc.so 52 irc.so 12 smiley-themer.so
12 import_everybuddy.so 164 jabber.so 8 video_capture.so
8 import_gaim.so 8 middle.so 172 yahoo2.so

its amazing what a "little" optimization will do

Latest snapshot. Here are the compile flags that I used to reduce the size:

CFLAGS=" -pipe -combine -Os -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -fmerge-all-constants -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -mtune=i686 " LDFLAGS=" -Wl,-O4,-Os,-relax,--sort-common,--no-keep-memory,-s " ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-esd --disable-esdtest --disable-glibtest --disable-gtktest

I also scaled down some images in /usr/share/pixmaps

I should hope that you wouldn't need to use it in an official release,... seems like the equivalent of --enable-debug. That is something I would do if there proved to be a crashing issue. The reason I don't start out with a debug release is that it would assuredly require a new compile at release, whereas if everything works as expected, it can just be integrated right into the build tree.... or maybe I am misunderstanding the purpose of the crash dialog?

I replaced the earlier compile with a new one that does not disable the crash dialog - only about 10kb difference which could easily be recaptured if there were an option to have "builtin plugins" (simply linking in the static libraries does not work due to the way the plugins work - also requires the .la files which is quite unusual)

It seems that when tcp_util was removed prior to 6.0 it caused some issues in smtp.c and autotrans.c (maybe others) <--they all still have references to functions that were in tcp_util.h

similar issue with the recent renaming in libmsn... msn-connection.c has a lingering function:
ext_msn_connection_destroyed(mc->ext_data);
replaced with????
msn_connection_free(mc->ext_data)

and msn.c has:
ext_msn_account_destroyed(ma);
replaced with?????
msn_account_free(ma);

I am going to roll back to 0.5.x and grab a tcp_util.o and compile it in to see what that does... until I can figure out the new api

[technosaurus]

I think yahoo.c is also missing:
include "image_window.h"
