1. '''Audio sessions''' to do not work:
 * When making audio session: (AttributeError: 'Session' object has no attribute 'end_time') and (AttributeError: 'Session' object has no attribute 'on_hold')
 * Failed sessions remain indefinitely in the drawer

 1. When select a different account, mark it as '''default'''
 1. '''Expand the session frame horizontally''' to fill on the drawer to its full width and draw just one line between two voice calls

= Chat window =

  • Change title of the chat window to '''remote@domain'''

  • '''Throttle playback''' of audible notifications to maximum one every 3 seconds
  • 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)

= Preferences =

  • Properly '''align''' horizontally the Advanced settings
  • Display '''Enabled:''' on the left side of the checkbox instead of the right
  • Change drop down box of general chapters to a tool bar with icons
  • Delete the '''little bar on top of the account list''', is redundant

  • 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

Hide the following settings:

  • global.chat.accept_types
  • global.chat.accept_wrapped_types
  • global.sip.ignore_missing_ack
  • account.presence.publish_interval
  • account.presence.subscribe_interval
  • account.presence.subscribe_rls_services

= Sessions =

  • Center the '''drawer title''' and make it look like a title bar
  • Show the '''drawer maximized''' horizontally
  • Center align '''Hangup All and Conference buttons'''
  • Only one audio session can be '''active at a time''', when answering a new audio session, all other existing audio sessions must be put on hold

  • 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

= 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
  • If the engine has stopped (because of some crash) the preferences do not show anymore:

{{{
Blink[26992:10b] <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'Engine' object has no attribute 'output_devices'
}}}

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

{{{

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

= Middleware changes =

  • Move '''account.outbound_proxy''' to '''account.sip.outbound_proxy'''
  • 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 '''general.audio.codec_list''' to '''general.rtp.audio_codecs'''
  • Move '''account.audio.codec_list''' to '''account.rtp.audio_codecs'''
  • Move '''account.audio.srtp_encryption''' to '''account.rtp.srtp_encryption'''
