 1. '''session duration''' for both incoming and outgoing is missing
 1. '''Expand the session frame horizontally''' to fill on the drawer to its full width and draw just one line between two voice calls

 1. When '''disable account''' in preferences, it does not get removed from the main interface account lists
 1. When enable a new account, the main interface displays '''no account selected''' anymore

= Engine =

  • If '''engine is dead''', the message '''no sip account is active''' is displayed but is unclear what the real reason is. An engine stop must be logged to general debug window
  • On startup, check if the audio device from the preferences '''is available''' in the detected devices list. If not, set the device to the system default device and display a warning to the user to set the devices in the preferences

= Chat window =

  • Change title of the chat window to '''remote@domain'''
  • '''Hide the empty scroll bar''' of the text input box
  • Display a status bar on the bottom of the window and '''show the connection information''' in it instead of the main window
  • Display the Chat recipient in a '''tab at the bottom of the window'''
  • Play an audible message when a message is received, based on '''silent''' and '''general.message_received_sound''' settings

  • Append chat messages to '''chat.history_directory/sip_account/YYYYMMDD-recipient.txt'''
  • For each message that appears in the history window: * First display a rounded thin rectangle with the '''recipient''' on the left and '''full date''' on the right side of the text in history with either light blue or grey background depending on which party is typing it , display the full FROM headers * Then display the content of the message
  • When dragging a recipient tab outside of the window '''spawn a new chat window''' and move the session into it
  • Display the number of '''un-read messages''' in non-visible tabs in a red circle over the tab name

= Contacts =

  • '''Hide display name''', show only the SIP address in the account selection
  • Remove the blue '''is-selected''' rectangle that appears around the active account
  • '''Replace''' 3333 with and 4444 with
  • When searching contacts, do not display '''Add button''' if the contact already exists
  • Show the '''Display name''' if set for the Contact, otherwise the SIP address
  • Add new '''contact window fields''': SIP address, Display name and Group
  • '''Delete the contact''' when pressing delete, show a confirm window
  • When '''searching a contact''' and starting a session to it: (NameError: global name 'row' is not defined)

  • When '''enable an account''', select it in the main interface account list
  • Add a '''Reset option''' to reset advanced settings to default values
  • Cannot '''delete Bonjour''' account: (TypeError: cannot delete BonjourAccount instance with default id). This is correct, do not allow the user to attempt to delete it. Bonjour can only be enabled/disabled but not deleted.
  • For '''account.ringtone''' advanced setting, the default setting must be inherited from '''general.ringtone.inbound'''
  • '''general.message_received_sound''' does not fit in window
  • Allow ordering of accounts in the account list

By setting the wrong TLS certificate files, the middleware does not start anymore:

= Sessions =

  • Center the '''drawer title''' and make it look like a title bar

  • When an incoming request has '''chat only''' and the from header is in the contact list, automatically accept the session
  • Highlight the active session with a '''bold''' border
  • When a session has ended, display it for '''5 more seconds''' then hide it and shuffle the deck
  • If all sessions have ended, the '''drawer must be closed'''
  • Add an item to the '''Session menu''' to show the drawer, if it was closed
  • We need a solution to enter DTMF tones to an audio session, now the keyboard focus is on the search bar

= Presence bar =

Make it as high as the contacts (two rows high).

  • It seems that the stun servers are learned from the DNS and cannot be overwritten in settings, they show up automatically
  • if I set the relay to abcd.com you must use the default standard port of 2855, now is set to zero: relay = abcd.com:0;transport=tls
  • Append dummy to the lists of available audio devices
  • We need a solution to accept a session without a 180- ringing. For instance we can have automatic answer based on various preferences.

  • Move '''account.audio.codec_list''' to '''account.rtp.audio_codecs'''
