auto hiding, removal of some buddy list groups

[Geoffrey Lane]

sucks that its not possible to hide some details like one would with a
buddy (or still show if they are offline)
I dare say that that's probably the most requested feature for windows
or any platform, my main problem is that it excludes those
using windows -- in other words a particular group of users. The other
features are more or less improvements on code and bugfixes or it
would be a new version no#.. The main new features I've looked for
here are not working; ink,audio -msn, gtalk -- already talked about,
yahoo - txt... those seem the most visible to normal users (and are
not fixes or aesthetic issues)... like me as I have no idea what
"Removed support for obsoleted XEP-0022 " is. lmao

And in case it was not obvious. I was not worried if I would be flamed
or not just saying I'm not getting into childish arguments over
issues. I was simply stating my opinion and disappointment. By all
means call me a +++ all you want
