This is a bit of a process, and neither file is done. It will take a bit of time for me to finish sorting everything out and finish rewriting README.mkdn.

## Features
|
|
* Log viewer needs to have BBCode/HTML/Text copy modes
|
|
* Copy quirks between profiles?
|
|
* Turn @ and # links on/off?
|
|
* Show true bans? COMPRESS QUIT MESSAGES ON BAN
|
|
* Colour saving boxes things?
|
|
* Whowas for last seen online?
|
|
* Tab completion of two letter names
|
|
* Auto download/install updates via Windows installer
|
|
* Use web connection to send offline messages in email-like fashion
|
|
(Idea: ghostDunk)
|
|
* Better NickServ registering
|
|
* Make toast notifications only on certain chums
|
|
* Local alisas for chums
|
|
* Don't make new windows be all in your face and shit
|
|
* Hide offline friends per group
|
|
|
|
* LET PEOPLE TURN OFF HONKING - people already rename the soundfile and such to
|
|
do this manually
|
|
|
|
* Implement **MemoServ** support
|
|
* Add support for displaying more verbose information (e.g. Cease messages which
|
|
tell you more than the abbreviation of who left)
|
|
* Make Pesterchum recognize conventional /mes so they aren't invisible
|
|
* Tell user when NickServ handles are going to expire
|
|
* Tell user when old handles have D/C'd? Offer autoghost support?!
|
|
* Make @XY and @xxxYyy formats ping their targets
|
|
* Allow matches like @?XY and @FXY or @PXY3 - make them only match the target
|
|
currently set to that.
|
|
* Make @ notation not match @u@; and similar (make invalid nick chars break
|
|
matches)
|
|
* Fix hyperlink escaping (Qt seems to do this automatically - need a workaround)
|
|
* Show bans if +h or higher (+h, +o, +a, +q)
|
|
|
|
* Add more comprehensive status support - IDLE, DND, INVISIBLE for now - or at
|
|
least add similar functionality.
|
|
* SEPARATE FUNCTIONALITY from CONNECTED STATE!! This is a huge problem! Being
|
|
shunted off our nick closes windows and breaks things! Just D/C and reconnect?
|
|
* It'd probably be best to give an option to either CHANGE NICKS or
|
|
DISCONNECT upon nick collision...? But, then how would we GHOST?
|
|
* Auto-disconnect if collsion before joining channels, make it
|
|
possible to disconnect (but not send messages, obviously)
|
|
without losing everything
|
|
* Maybe GHOSTing should use auto-identify to ensure- no, that doesn't
|
|
work, because we can't ident into a specified nick without being ON
|
|
it. Need GD's help to fix....
|
|
|
|
* Option to disable backwards compatibility:
|
|
* For those that are *really* sure that this build is the build for
|
|
them.
|
|
* Should enable extra features, including ctag compression.
|
|
* Allow manual compression changes via memo right-click menu for
|
|
'advanced' (per the setting) users
|
|
|
|
* Make it possible to test quirk things and such without connecting? This'd be
|
|
hard to separate out, but useful.
|
|
* Make a quirk 'bin' that exists independent of profiles, and can be
|
|
copied to/from at will.
|
|
* Right-click Time entry field to see those used? (Replace left/right buttons?)
|
|
* Save commonly-used times on a per-handle basis!
|
|
* Make the memo name entry box accept a comma-separated list
|
|
* Make right-clicking on a tab open up the right-click menu one would get on
|
|
right-clicking the title (frame??)
|
|
* Add an option to Cycle (for log separation)
|
|
|
|
* Add a separate 'Tweaks' section in Options
|
|
* Fix graphical issues with dark themes vs. light themes (Qt/text too
|
|
light/etc.)
|
|
|
|
## Todo/Done
|
|
**Everything in this section has already been completed.**
|
|
### Usability
|
|
* Fix parser text-loss bug that plagues everyone (especially Chumdroid users)
|
|
* Make /me messages that cut continue into more /me messages
|
|
* Make sound work on Windows through QSound (disables volume control)
|
|
* Toggle individual tab flash / alert sounds (from the same right-click memo
|
|
that lets us toggle OOC)
|
|
* Make CTRL+PGUP/PGDN switch memo/pester tabs
|
|
* Color tags are now posted as their shorter hexadecimal forms, if applicable
|
|
(255,255,255 -> #FFFFFF, for example)
|
|
* Separate auto-idle and checkbox idle so they don't share a state (and make
|
|
the first send set the timer for additional idle responses)
|
|
* Stop us from sending IDLE messages to NickServ
|
|
* Fix NickServ auto-login things
|
|
* Make a window that can be used to interface with the script directly - a
|
|
simple Python console.
|
|
### Backend
|
|
* Perpetual code cleanup, refactoring, simplification and general improvements
|
|
* Syntax changes/updates and the like
|
|
|
|
## Code
|
|
**Improvements and changes pertaining to Pesterchum's internals.**
|
|
### General
|
|
* Implement new Lexer for the sake of everyone's sanity
|
|
* Redo `PESTERCHUM:` processing/redo whole msg received processing chain
|
|
* Redo text processing in general
|
|
* Redo quirk processing (use pieces from Textsub if needed)
|
|
* Pare down the PesterMemo object so it inherits more things from PesterConvo
|
|
*implicitly*
|
|
* SOONER OR LATER: Redo internal chum storage, centralize data into widely
|
|
accessible manager objects, etc.
|
|
* Also: Overhaul settings storage. Bring it more in line with the system Textsub
|
|
used (if feeling masochistic), but simpler.
|
|
* **Overhaul information storage** - chums, conversations, memos; all should be
|
|
handled by a backend and merely RENDERED into Qt objects!!
|
|
* Overhaul debugging
|
|
* Debug generic.py's CaseInsensitiveDict/replace it with mine
|
|
* Overhaul messaging so **Chan/Nick/Memo Servs** all use the same code (and
|
|
lexer)
|
|
* **Separate Pesterchum system handling from window handling.** Dicts should be
|
|
stored and maintained via dicts - even a refined version of what I used for
|
|
textsub.
|
|
* Doing it this way means I can fix the case in/sensitivity issue, too.
|
|
* Set up framework for easily logging/accessing channels, users, etc...like
|
|
what hexchat has.
|
|
* More efficient framework for accessing stored user information - right now,
|
|
Pesterchum keeps information on user colors and such on hand *forever*,
|
|
meaning that things inevitably get clogged up with handles that are never
|
|
really seen, or only seen once, or even just randomly generated. This is
|
|
silly and should be changed; I'll probably make a namedtuple for users or
|
|
something, and save it all to a separate JSON file or two.
|
|
Said JSON file should keep the extra information on hand - or rather, the
|
|
'recent users' JSON file should keep most of the detailed information and be
|
|
accessed first, with the larger 'inactive users' file being accessed to check
|
|
for unfamiliar handles.
|
|
These would have to output the old data to pesterchum.js for backwards
|
|
compatibility purposes.
|
|
* Finish creating the sound wrapper. Just make it check what the type of sound
|
|
needed is upon creation, and instantiate a private class based off of that.
|
|
* There is basically no good way to do this without moving to Qt5. I
|
|
might try that myself later, but that's a long-term goal.
|
|
### Debugging
|
|
* Set up a simple function to display a traceback instead of silently moving on!
|
|
* Make small, simplistic windows that allow the viewing of internal variables
|
|
pertaining to things like set quirks, users present, etc.
|
|
* Also let it display the stylesheet settings of the current window, or
|
|
similar.
|
|
* Make a console to display debug info without requiring us to run from terminal
|
|
* Allow us to specify flags via command line
|
|
* Let us specify a separate config (pesterchum.js) file!!
|
|
|
|
## Bugs
|
|
* weird memo time bug
|
|
* Windows doesn't show style sheet sometimes?? Maybe related to themes.
|
|
* Issues with connecting? Client not closing connection right? People keep
|
|
getting "nick taken" messages
|
|
* When using mood sort, scroll position jumps to last selected chum
|
|
* Closing a timeclone doesn't actually cease for everyone else
|
|
* Kill Zalgo
|
|
* Random invisible, tiny links to last link at end of every message
|
|
* Chums not appearing on chumroll when initals are the same? (bS)
|
|
* Recognize IRC 471, 473, 474 and 475
|
|
* memo links aren't case sensitive
|
|
|
|
* Mentions occasionally don't work (e.g. in /me)
|
|
* Character times aren't 'forgotten' on Part
|
|
* +c is not properly recognized on join, nor does it stop someone from
|
|
reenabling their quirk (let ops and above ignore it?)
|
|
* Chumlist handles groups pretty badly (no using the same name as a handle, for
|
|
example? Needs an errormessage at least)
|
|
* The whole chumlist handling system really ought to be refactored into
|
|
something sane...the objects should only be there to render
|
|
* PESTERCHUM: messages are sent to things like NickServ
|
|
* Log folder/file names are not case-sensitive, so they break on non-Windows
|
|
systems
|
|
* Capitalized /me's don't render (should forcibly lowercase them)
|
|
|
|
* Volume control doesn't work without pygame
|
|
* Sound on Linux doesn't work without pygame
|
|
* Update checking code gives false positives (update to use json file from git?)
|
|
* Pesterchum doesn't seem to close all of its file handles - it runs out of
|
|
handles to use on Linux
|
|
* Others have reported memory leak-induced crashes on Windows. These
|
|
may or may not be related.
|
|
|
|
## Windows Bugs
|
|
* XP SP2: sometimes mouse clicks dont register? must be some kinda crash
|
|
* On reconnect and nick change, momentary theme change causes menu items to
|
|
stop working
|
|
* Random chums won't show up on chumroll
|
|
* Popup toast notifications cause main window to raise
|
|
|
|
## Mac Bugs
|
|
**Due to my lack of access to a Mac, these are unlikely to be fixed.**
|
|
* Mac doesn't show tabs right, display gifs, highlighting thing?
|
|
* SS: also the background image is broken
|
|
* SS: in the one-on-one pester it resizes with the window
|
|
* SS: but the memo one doesn't resize
|
|
* SS: and the arrows next to the time thing overlap the CLOSE button
|
|
* Lex: There seems to be a faint outline around most non-square themes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Things that won't be done
|
|
**Requests that, for one reason or another, will not be fulfilled.**
|
|
### Scrapped Features
|
|
**I'll explain why these ones won't happen.**
|
|
|
|
> * More complex quirks: by-sound
|
|
|
|
* This would require a way to determine what maps to a sound, and
|
|
replace it.
|
|
I've played with the idea before. It resulted in me needing to look
|
|
up things like the [Metaphone Algorithm][metaphone] to figure out
|
|
how it might be even remotely possible. The results were NOT a fun
|
|
time; if this is ever implemented, it will be much, much later than
|
|
just about everything else.
|
|
[metaphone]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphone
|
|
|
|
> * Spy mode
|
|
|
|
* I feel as though I shouldn't need to tell anyone why this is a bad idea.
|
|
Some people already have this capability anyway; I used to be one of them.
|
|
There's no real need to implement an inferior version into every single
|
|
client on Pesterchum.
|
|
|
|
> * "Someone has friended you" notifier
|
|
> * Spectation notices (Idea: lexicalNuance) (probly WONTFIX)
|
|
|
|
* These are milder invasions of privacy than the above, but they are still
|
|
invasions of privacy.
|
|
|
|
> * When 'banned' make impossible to connect using timestamp banned under
|
|
|
|
* This is a lot of work for something that purely affects immersion - while
|
|
also breaking a number of things in the process. Too much work for too
|
|
little payoff.
|
|
|
|
> * Use web connection to save profiles (Idea: ghostDunk)
|
|
|
|
* There is no way to do this now that Pesterchum is basically unsupported; an
|
|
external server would be necessary for storage.
|
|
As such, you'll just have to settle for copying your profiles and logs when
|
|
you change computers.
