List of fixes/improvements before 0.6
=====================================

   Posted:
      [ ] it's not possible to create a Posted thread without a Owner. 
          Bug? If not, then remove "No signature" from selection box
      [ ] Show an info page for unsubscribed posted threads (same as forums)
      [ ] Fix the counting of unread messages in Posted. Now it's wrong.
      [ ] Make the GUI of Posted more sexy
   
   Forums
      [ ] it's not possible to create a Forum thread without a Owner. 
          Bug? If not, then remove "No signature" from selection box
      [X] the tooltip over GXS ids should show the avatar on the left side.
      [X] fix data race between GXS ID default icons
      [ ] Share of key shows "Not implemented"
   
   GUI General
      [ ] do we keep "Getting Started" ? the look needs to be improved
      [ ] Recommendation messages do not show complete links. Links show up in some buttons and the text is truncated
      [ ] Recommendation messages should not be signed by the retroshare team!!
      [ ] when adding a friend through clicking on cert links, the add friend wizard is shown twice!
   
   Messages
      [ ] distant messages should be made async-ed
      [ ] distant messages are not re-sent when the peer is offline the first time
      [ ] sent messages to direct peers in the Sent box have inconsistent To field. 
          Raises an error if you click on it.
      [ ] Merge the new messaging format? (or keep this for > 0.6)
   
   Channels
      [X] Unsubscribed channels should show an info page when selected, like forums
      [ ] marking all as read in channels takes time. The channel icon should show a waiting clock 
          during the operation to avoid the user to re-click many times in the hope to get 
          the posts marked as read.
      [X] channels items show a 0 left to the up/Dn buttons. What is it??
   
   Chat lobbies
      [ ] Chat lobbies should use Identities. That's a significant change, probably not backward compatible. 
      [X] Remove deprecated code in rschatitems.h
   
   Chat
      [X] Distant chat window should show GXS avatars
      [ ] Distant chat should work with shared identities
      [X] Distant chat fails (tunnel bullet never gets green) when re-openning a distant chat window after closing a tunnel
      [X] Distant chat fails (chat window never appears) when re-openning a distant chat window after closing a tunnel
      [X] You should not be enabled to distant-chat yourself!
   
   Identities:
      [X] "Owned by you" => "Owned by node [nodename]" 
      [X] Bold face should only be used for keys with admin credentials
      [ ] reputations are not used yet. We should hide them.
      [ ] Add timeout to Identities that are unused. Need to keep a time stamp list, updated 
          whenever the identity is used for checking signatures. This should
        be extented to any group and stored into meta data. Would allow to
        remove unused forums etc.
      [X] Fix avatar loading for identities. When loaded for the first time by forums, the avatar does not show up.
   
   Network
      [ ] Friends => Friend nodes
   
   News feed
      [X] remove the Ghost news feed items
      [X] remove the double feed publication
   
   libretroshare
      [ ] fix the data race in pqissl
      [ ] valgrind pass for data races
      [ ] valgrind pass for memory leaks 
      [ ] valgrind pass for memory errors 
      [ ] valgrind pass for performance
      [ ] remove mktemp => use mkstemp
   
   Packaging
      [X] check compilation on debian
      [X] check compilation on ARM
