[JDEV] 0.8 Available!

OK smart-one

everything that I wrote before is absolutely true and you have no right to
say such things, ok? Because you promised no changes in the protocol after
0.7 too.

Anyway, just make sure that you don't play so much with the protocol,
because we will be forced
to switch to another messaging server or even write our own, right ...

And who are you anyway? If you are one of the JServer developers then I am
probably talking to the right person. If you want to see Win32 client just
be more reliable on the server side.

If you are not one of the JServer developers then I am wasting my time
talking to someone that is not responsible for anything.

Cheers
Val

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?).
