[JDEV] 0.8 Available!

[Robert Thompson]

YEAH...WHAT SHE SAID (below).

AND ONE MORE THING LEROY...GET THE WIN32 VERSION OUT BEFORE I MAKE YOU GO
OUT AND PICK A STICK FOR YOUR WHIPPIN !!!
---
of course, this is just a light hearted joke to make a point so don't get
too offended if there's anyone out there who's had a hard day.

Happy Holidays (but seriously, can we see a Win32 Jabber DLL anytime in the
next millenium?).
