SF Patch #1277888 from Douglas Thrift
I modified this a bit, but the end result is: This patch adds a logging preference that defaults to off. When enabled, the date is included in messages' timestamps in logs (in addition to the time).
This can be useful if you leave conversations open for days (for me, that's chats). The original patch had this affect timestamps in the conversation window as well, but I didn't like that. I figured it probably wasn't necessary, and I was dreading adding another conversation pref. I welcome feedback on this issue.

| 9 | What this all boils down to is that CVS _WILL_ sometimes be broken. | |
| 10 | Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in | |
| 11 | personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of | |
| 12 | assistance from the developers!) avoid CVS and use releases. Since | |
| 13 | releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using | |
| 14 | the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having | |
| 15 | to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but | |
| 16 | haven't gotten around to fixing. | |

18 | If you are interested in hacking on gaim, please read README and |
| 5640 | 19 | HACKING, and take note of the issues in PROGRAMMING_NOTES. (Note that |
| 20 | they may be somewhat out of date at times.) Win32 developers, please | |
| 21 | read README.mingw. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. Not | |
| 24 | all parts of gaim have yet been documented, but the major subsystems | |
| 25 | are falling fast. If you have doxygen, you can use the Doxyfile in | |
| 26 | the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise | |
| 27 | (or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain | |
| 28 | documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, | |
| 29 | conversation.h contains documentation for the entire | |
| 30 | gaim_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the | |
| 31 | gaim_account_* API. | |

| 33 | If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers | |
| 34 | by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at | |
| 35 | irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at | |
| 36 | http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework | |
| 37 | as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your | |
| 38 | question, the faster and more effectively we can help you! | |
