"FreeNode" in IRC server list is incorrectly capitalized

[rww]

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy's IRC server list capitalizes freenode as "FreeNode". This is incorrect; see the usage on freenode's website at http://freenode.net/ and Nathan Handler (freenode staffer)'s blog entry at http://nhandler.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/it-is-freenode/

Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616711

This is fixed upstream
"Fixed to master. I backported the irc-networks.xml patch to 2.30 but not the doc one as that's a string change."

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted empathy into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

empathy 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 from lucid-proposed successfully resolves this issue. Attached is a screenshot showing that empathy now correctly calls the IRC network 'freenode' instead of 'FreeNode'

Same bug on XChat.
I see it's an old and fixed bug in Empathy, but it is still not fixed in XChat on ubuntu 10.10.

[Alexandre Magno (alexandre-mbm)]

I think that it could be "Freenode".
