I have just compiled and installed Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 4 for a few days. However, I just have a chance to chat via IRC in local IRC server in Thailand. Surely, the encoding is not UTF-8. Exactly, it is TIS-620 for Thai characters. Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 4 suddenly crashed. It always crashs whenever I tried to join into any channel with Thai characters in them. So I consulted Gaim and found a bug report looking very similar to my case. It indicated that Beta 5 should fix this problem. Oops! Beta 5 has just released last night.

I decided to upgrade immediately by getting the source and patching based on Ubuntu package. As a result, I uploaded them to my repositories. Otherwise, you may get them directly below.
