urgent Prio: Migration:

Plugin-System should be robust and resistent against old plugins, broken plugins, missing plugins... etc.

Config-Migration (0.9.5->0.9.6) + Suitable Initialisation-Values (please click)
offline contacts are on top, online contacts has to be on top of the list per default (more sorting problems below (view "SortingProblems:")
Test and fix "New Profile" for working stable and secure (f.e. creating an ICQ-Account: No Status-Options are added to the menu. Cannot go online with this Profile)
Test and fix "Change Profile" for working stable and secure (when changing back to old profile from above created, the old profile is broken...)
~~ICQ Filetransfer [from SIM-IM (0.9.5 tested)] failes~~ Fixed by Denis
~~QCString=>QByteArray Conversation, strangs lineends~~ Fixed by Denis

normal Prio:

Plugins loading: Load only the used plugins, and no more and no less.
- f.e. Splash:
  - splash isnt enabled but instead loaded, if enabled it is loaded and shown twice
  - splash is deleted prematurely due to profile-management (changeProfile() on startup)
Config:
- Metacontacts are not saved in Config. Contacts are seperated after restart of SIM again
- Some Settings are saved in Registry in Win32 (QSettings?), this is a bad idea, if Sim-IM should be run on Computers with restricted access to registry f.e. it can't be written.
  Using %appdata%\sim for global .conf is better.
- Icons are not saved
- ~~On startup all seems initialized by 0.9.6, the 0.9.5-config gets broken due to this initialization~~ Fixed by Denis
Setup:
- Icon-Plugin: Added Iconsets are processed but not saved in Config
- SortingProblems:'
  - Plugins-Tree in Setup is not alphabetically sorted.
  - Setup::Interface::ContactList, sorting is not saved to config and not processed/working

    - ~~horizontal expanding of the controls does not work.~~ Fixed by Tobias
- ~~Floatys are not as long as in 0.9.5~~ Still not same dimension but now longer, so that flashing text is still visible, by Tobias

Config/Setup-Window steals access to other windows (f.e. no possible acces to InterfaceWindow, MainWindow.. then.)
Filetransfer-Window steals access to other windows, too
~~Translation: broken~~ Fixed by Christian and Tobias
~~Tooltips:~~ Fixed
- ~~are not shown, if mainwindow has no focus. should be shown.~~ Fixed by Yury i assume?
- ~~don't work on Floatys~~ Fixed by Yury
- ~~Online-Tooltips of contact list are hanging sometimes, they don't disappear~~ Fixed by Yury

OSD:
- sometimes when there are multiple messages in short time distances, it seems, a new OSD is displayed or faded in over the existing, while the existing seems to be deleted previously. Perhaps we can handle it to get there a more smooth transition between this. so that the current existing OSD-window is used to display such messages like "2 messages from digger", "3 messages from digger" ...
- Yury: ok, good idea, but some systems have more powerfull services for notification, Growl on Mac for ex. i think realase user selection of system/sim service
- when existing OSD-window is used, the lifetime has to be extended, of course... ;)
- Yury: when we close OSD widget, it shading at first and then really closes
- Noragen: if it shades down, the "new" one has to wait until the old shade is finished..
- Noragen: also to be done: only one Online-Alarm for joined contacts

automatical ghost-protocol-toggeling while sending messages and Files

GPG:
