ClientManager

2009-11-26T17:29:18Z

Dirihle:

Currently, ContactList is responsible for Client gathering and manipulation.
This responsibility should be passed to ClientManager
==Requirements==
ContactList responsibilities:
# Client object creation/destruction
# Client object storage

ContactList

2009-11-25T17:25:37Z

Dirihle:

==Requirements==
# Group and Contact objects storage and access provider
# Serialization/deserialization

ProfileManager

2009-11-25T17:20:20Z

Dirihle:

==Requirements==
ProfileManager have following list of responsibilities:
# Profile enumeration
# Profile creation/destruction/renaming
# Profile selection
## On profile change, a signal/event should be emit to all entities that store their settings in profile
# Provide access to current profile

Profile responsibilities:
# Maintain a list of enabled/disabled plugins
# Provide get/set methods for this list
# Provide access to config storage object (SIM::Config)

Config responsibilities:
# Saving/loading profile data to/from disk
# Storing/restoring PropertyHub data
In other words, Config should be an intermediate object between PropertyHub and config files on disk

PropertyHub responsibilities:
# Generic data storage with string keys
# Serialization/deserialization

==Tests==

PluginManager

2009-11-25T17:08:00Z

Dirihle:

==Requirements==
# Manager must to enumerate available plugins, load any of available plugin, unload any loaded plugin
# Plugins placement may by different on different platforms and release or debug build
## Linux:
### Release:
### Debug:
## Window:
### Release:
### Debug:
## MacOS:
### Release: "%Application%/Content/PlugIns"

==Sim-IM 0.9.6==

=== Semi-port to qt4 using qt3support===

We should do (or at last try as much as possible) Sim-IM buildable both with qt3 and with qt4 (using qt3support).

Qt3support is a library that provides backward compatibility classes that allows to build qt3 code with qt4, without great changes. Also it provides specific script that parses and the code and change qt3 staff with qt3support and qt4 staff. To build the code with both qt3 and qt4 we should make these changes revertable. Here are general types of changes made by qt3support script, and the ways this changes may be done revertable:

====Usage of Compatibility Classes====
''' QXxxxxxx -> Q3Xxxxxxx''': Qt4 provides a number of [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/compatclasses.html Q3 Compatibility Classes] which differs from Qt3 ones just by adding "3" to the name of the classes. So thats what qt3support script does, just changes class names. To make code, changed in that way, buildable with qt3 we should rename these class names back to Qt3 notation. This can be done by simple <code>#define Q3PopupMenu QPopupMenu</code> in qt3-specific .h file.

==== Const's Namespace Changes ====
'''WType_Popup -> Qt::WType_Popup'''. The second difference between Qt3 and Qt4's Qt3Support is changes of namespaces of different consts. All Qt3 consts are located in common namespace, and in Qt4 they were moved to different namespaces, mostly in Qt-namespace. So when qt3support parses code, it adds namespaces to conts's names. To make code buildable by both frameworks we should create Compatibility Consts, that will be replaced by preprocessor to qt3 const or to qt4 before building the code. Just add <code>#define Q3WType_Popup WType_Popup</code> into qt3-specific .h file and <code>#define Q3WType_Popup Qt::WType_Popup</code> into qt4-specific .h file.

==== Incompatibility in class names ====
'''QIconSet -> QIcon''' Names of some classes were changed, while moving from qt3 to qt4, though classes remans method-compatible. For example qt3support script changes class name QIconSet into QIcon. Everything else remains the same. To make this code qt3 buildable we should create specific compatibility class-name ourself, Q3IconSet for example, which will be replaced by the real name required by each framework: <code>#define Q3IconSet QIconSet</code> in qt3-specific .h file, and <code>#define Q3IconSet QIcon</code> in qt4-specific .h file

==== QString issues ====
'''QString::utf8''' is widely used in Sim-IM, and not recommended to use in qt4 as [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/threads.html#reentrant not reentant]. Qt4 recomeds to use QString::toUtf8 instead. But there is no such method in qt3. So we should create Compatibility class Q4String, witch will emulate toUtf8 method for qt3 builds, and use that method instead of utf8

==== QCString issues ====
'''QCString''' has compatibility class Q3CString in qt3support, but we should better not to use it at all. We should replace all QCStrings by QStrings and QByteArrays, depending on context.

==== Other issues ====
'''All other''' issues can be bypassed by writing code twice, and enclose in <code>#ifdef QT3 ..... #else .... #endif</code>. Hope there will be not too much code enclosed in such ifdef's

=== Architecture changes ===

==== Get rid of static casts ====
We should remove all static casts between static structures and all void * function arguments.

==== Step-by-step incoming/outgoing message processing ====
1. All messages should be sent and received only via event system. Procedure that sends message should know nothing about client that sends that message, only client's id.

2. Handle message receiveing(sending) as multistep event. Each plugin will be able to bind to some step, do something (may be change some message properties), and then pass message through, hold it, or remove it. For example:

0. Jabber: Incomming message: start processing.
1. Antispam: Known contact: pass
2. History: Logs message into file: pass
3. Soud: Says ku-ku: pass
4. Contact list: Show blinking message: hold (till user says 'open')
4.1. (User press 'open')
5. Contaner: shows new message: pass
6. (no other actions: finished)

In this way user list for example should not know anything about container, it just passes message to the next element
of the queue, may be setting some flag, like "open in new container".

In this way we can also write "robot" plugin that will bind between steps 2 and 3, and do something if this message.
belongs to him, fetch this message away and nobody will be bothered by ku-ku.

And so on. (History plugin might be binded to all levels to mark changes of the state (for example that message were read)
in history file)

* Create TextMessage abstract class:
** This class should be inherited by protocol specific TextMessages classes
** All interaction with message: showing, creating new message to send, etc should be done via virtual functions of that class
** All plugins are able to get incoming message and do something with sending message (which are represented by this class), if they want to by using existing event system (so will need to add some events for it)
* After TextMessage class is implemented we will be able:
** Rewrite history plugin
** Create spam-filter plugin

== Sim-IM 0.9.7 and later ==
* Create Contat protocol independent generic class
* Create Group protocol independent generic class
* Create Protocol protocol independent generic class
* Create Profile abstract class
* Try to separate parsing code from UI-specific code
* Something else

== Sim-IM 1.0==
*Port to QT4.x

==Sim-IM 0.9.6==

=== Semi-port to qt4 using qt3support===

We should do (or at last try as much as possible) Sim-IM buildable both with qt3 and with qt4 (using qt3support).

Qt3support is a library that provides backward compatibility classes that allows to build qt3 code with qt4, without great changes. Also it provides specific script that parses and the code and change qt3 staff with qt3support and qt4 staff. To build the code with both qt3 and qt4 we should make these changes revertable. Here are general types of changes made by qt3support script, and the ways this changes may be done revertable:

====Usage of Compatibility Classes====
''' QXxxxxxx -> Q3Xxxxxxx''': Qt4 provides a number of [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/compatclasses.html Q3 Compatibility Classes] which differs from Qt3 ones just by adding "3" to the name of the classes. So thats what qt3support script does, just changes class names. To make code, changed in that way, buildable with qt3 we should rename these class names back to Qt3 notation. This can be done by simple <code>#define Q3PopupMenu QPopupMenu</code> in qt3-specific .h file.

==== Const's Namespace Changes ====
'''WType_Popup -> Qt::WType_Popup'''. The second difference between Qt3 and Qt4's Qt3Support is changes of namespaces of different consts. All Qt3 consts are located in common namespace, and in Qt4 they were moved to different namespaces, mostly in Qt-namespace. So when qt3support parses code, it adds namespaces to conts's names. To make code buildable by both frameworks we should create Compatibility Consts, that will be replaced by preprocessor to qt3 const or to qt4 before building the code. Just add <code>#define Q3WType_Popup WType_Popup</code> into qt3-specific .h file and <code>#define Q3WType_Popup Qt::WType_Popup</code> into qt4-specific .h file.

==== Incompatibility in class names ====
'''QIconSet -> QIcon''' Names of some classes were changed, while moving from qt3 to qt4, though classes remans method-compatible. For example qt3support script changes class name QIconSet into QIcon. Everything else remains the same. To make this code qt3 buildable we should create specific compatibility class-name ourself, Q3IconSet for example, which will be replaced by the real name required by each framework: <code>#define Q3IconSet QIconSet</code> in qt3-specific .h file, and <code>#define Q3IconSet QIcon</code> in qt4-specific .h file

==== QString issues ====
'''QString::utf8''' is widely used in Sim-IM, and not recommended to use in qt4 as [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/threads.html#reentrant not reentant]. Qt4 recomeds to use QString::toUtf8 instead. But there is no such method in qt3. So we should create Compatibility class Q4String, witch will emulate toUtf8 method for qt3 builds, and use that method instead of utf8

==== QCString issues ====
'''QCString''' has compatibility class Q3CString in qt3support, but we should better not to use it at all. We should replace all QCStrings by QStrings and QByteArrays, depending on context.

==== Other issues ====
'''All other''' issues can be bypassed by writing code twice, and enclose in <code>#ifdef QT3 ..... #else .... #endif</code>. Hope there will be not too much code enclosed in such ifdef's

=== Architecture changes ===

==== Get rid of static casts ====
We should remove all static casts between static structures and all void * function arguments.

==== Step-by-step incoming/outgoing message processing ====
1. All messages should be sent and received only via event system. Procedure that sends message should know nothing about client that sends that message, only client's id.

2. Handle message receiveing(sending) as multistep event. Each plugin will be able to bind to some step, do something (may be change some message properties), and then pass message through, hold it, or remove it. For example:

0. Jabber: Incomming message: start processing.
1. Antispam: Known contact: pass
2. History: Logs message into file: pass
3. Soud: Says ku-ku: pass
4. Contact list: Show blinking message: hold (till user says 'open')
4.1. (User press 'open')
5. Contaner: shows new message: pass
6. (no other actions: finished)

In this way user list for example should not know anything about container, it just passes message to the next element
of the queue, may be setting some flag, like "open in new container".

In this way we can also write "robot" plugin that will bind between steps 2 and 3, and do something if this message.
belongs to him, fetch this message away and nobody will be bothered by ku-ku.

And so on. (History plugin might be binded to all levels to mark changes of the state (for example that message were read)
in history file)

* Create TextMessage abstract class:
** This class should be inherited by protocol specific TextMessages classes
** All interaction with message: showing, creating new message to send, etc should be done via virtual functions of that class
** All plugins are able to get incoming message and do something with sending message (which are represented by this class), if they want to by using existing event system (so will need to add some events for it)
* After TextMessage class is implemented we will be able:
** Rewrite history plugin
** Create spam-filter plugin
