[Gossip-dev] Chat History

[Martyn Russell]

Hi,

This is just a heads up really.

I have just committed the first workings for showing chat history/logs. 

Note: The file and directory structure for the logging has changed so
old logs will NOT be visible. For those interested this is documented in
the top of src/gossip-log.c:

The basic structure is:
        ~/.gnome2/Gossip/logs/<account>/<contact>-<date>.log
        
Where <date> is "20060102" and represents a day

I recommend that you back your logs up (in ~/.gnome2/Gossip/logs) before
you update and try the new code (you shouldn't need to, but why risk
it :)

There are some issues with the current work, which I will be improving
over the next week or so:

        - No real name to select which contact you want to view the chat
        history of at the moment, just an account ID. I need to
        implement offline roster storage for this to work.
        - No case-insensitive searching.
        - Occasional GOSSIP_IS_CONTACT() warnings.
        - Logs are put into files on a daily basis so each day a new
        file is created for logs. Only the most recent day's chat
        history is available at the moment.
        
So please try if you are willing :) and if you notice any thing else
which should be fixed, let me know.
