Gabber 0.8.8, which features a GNOME2/KDE status icon, an updated XML parser, nickname highlighting in group chats, and other bug fixes.

Debian users, Gabber is available now in sid and woody.

RPM users, please be sure that all C++ dependencies for Gabber were compiled on the same system (libsigc++, gtkmm, gnomemm).

GNUstep users, there are now wrappers available to make launching Gabber easier.

All of the following dependencies can either be found on GNOME's official download site or in Ximian GNOME. Red Hat users should try FreshRPMS.

• 2.0 > gnome-libs >= 1.2.0
• 1.0 > libglade >= 0.11
• 1.1 > libsigc++ >= 1.0.0
• 1.3 > gtkmm >= 1.2.1
• 1.3 > gnomemm >= 1.2.0
• libgal, gal, gal-devel (Only for compilation, binaries do not require it)
• openssl >= 0.9.5a (Can be compiled without it)

You can download the latest version of Gabber from the SourceForge download page. If you would like to donate binaries for other platforms/architectures, please send them to Julian and they will be posted on our page. Note that the links to offsite dependencies may break as they are updated, so it is recommended you go directly to the contributor (GNOME's official download site or Ximian GNOME or FreshRPMS).

If you want the absolute latest version of Gabber, please read our information about Gabber CVS.

The Gabber GNUstep wrapper allows for GNUstep compliant Workspace managers (such as GWorkspace.app) to properly launch Gabber. This allows Gabber to be launched from the file viewers, from any shelf (including desktop), and the Fiend dock extender.

Patches for other OpenStep compliant systems (Mac OSX running XDarwin, for example) are welcome! :-)

To install:

• If you're running GWorkspace, simply drag the App icon to an Apps folder! That's it :-)
• If you're not, copy the Gabber.app folder to your $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Apps folder.
