Uploading gabber 2 to unstable.

| Hi people,
I'm planning to replace gabber 0.8.8 (current version in unstable) with
its GTK+ 2 version (1.9.4) currently available in experimental. If
you're a gabber user (if you are not, this is a good time to start :-),
try it and report any bugs, missing features etc. that would make it a
"not good enough jabber client" for you.
Best regards,
Goedson

I've lost my slit! :-)
No usability problems so far appart from that.

First off, if 100% of the features (the documented features, not the
"undocumented" ones) in the 0.8.8 version are not there, it won't be a
viable replacement. I don't want to use a GAIM clone for Jabber.
I have been using 0.8.8 hoping to have an admin interface along with it.
I have to use IMCOM to do that.
Among other thing, functions that exist like the IRC commands and
such... the ability to change the forums, whispering, etc... one on one
windows spawning from a conference.
That stuff is vital.
Last time I tried gabber2 it had an annoying feature that if you typed
and corrected you text and pressed enter in the text it would CR/LF
right the and mis
format the text.
Don't get me wrong Gabber2 Looks really good, I tried for a month, and
eventually going back to 0.8.8.

This why I am asking. I know there are features in gabber 0.8.8 which
are not implemented in gabber 1.9.4 but since I've never used them, and
don't know how important they are for other people. I'm trying to list
the features that are used to let upstream know what they should work
on.

What do you mean by "ability to change the forums"?

Sorry, I didn't understand your statement.

And we hope someday you won't have to go back.
Thank you for your feedback.

Ability to edit the conference chat room subject, in IMCOM would be
//subject ziwt "How'd e' do that Mugsy?"
Or in gabber 0.8.8-4 edit the subject area. Seems you cannot do this in
Gabber2 (1.9.4-1 at least)

EXAMPLE:
Hi my name is greg, I have been a Jabber server maintainer for 3
years
now notice my name is not Capitalized. I go back and edit before
sending, replace the g with a G then press enter this is what the
message displays like:
Hi my name is G
reg, I have been a Jabber server maintainer for 3 years
Hope this is clear enough.

The most needed things are JUD browsing, REAL message handling
preferences, logging really nicely like 0.8.8-4 does, multiple
conference windows to different servers or just different chat-rooms on
the same server, as well as user data editing and so on. Jabber Message
Rules absolutely needed. Invites to other users, full message history,
GPG integration, basically anything in gabber 0.8.8-4, except the
docklet thinger which hasn't really worked since GNOME2.x
BTW, I did re-install gabber2 (1.9.4-1 from experimental) and it blew
chunks big time. See my other message earlier today.
Most of all, I would like to be able to use gabber as an admin interface
for Jabber rather than IMCOM... not that IMCOM isn't any good... just it
sticks out like a sore thumb on a pleasant GUI desktop.
