=== pyICQ-t Fixing and File Transfers ===

==== Project Description ====

With the introduction of ICQ 6, a lot of the ICQ protocol was changed. For example, the old charset problem was solved and status messages are now allowed for every status, even the online status, but ~~these are~~ done via a new ~~SNAC~~. While most of these changes fix severe problems, they also introduced incompatibilities (status messages not shown in older clients / newer clients, charset problems with older / newer clients). Your task would be to analyze the new protocol, update pyICQ-t and/or Twisted to the new protocol, think of a way that works with old and new clients and fix every bug you find during that which was introduced by the ICQ 6 protocol. If there's enough time, your task would also be to figure out how ICQ file transfers (especially in ICQ 6) work and implement them.

With the introduction of ICQ 6, a lot of the ICQ protocol was changed. For example, the old charset problem was solved, UTF-16 is used almost everywhere, it seems that text/x-aolrtf finally died now and status messages are now allowed for every status, even the online status, but most is done via new SNACs.
