Well nobody has said anything so I guess nobody uses Yappari anymore.

Anyway 1.1.47 is almost done, it includes:

* Profile picture now works (thanks to coderus)
* Group name notifications instead of participant (thanks to NerdKnight)
* Fixed all missing emojis (I haven't finished this yet because there are new ones and that is a LOT of work).

Now about the battery drain:

I've made some modifications based on some of the NerdKnight code but without the polling. Basically the problem occurs only on bad connections and it's worse during login (when Yappari says "Connected" and before it says "Logged in").

Now if the PDU is incomplete (that's when the problem happens), Yappari will try to process GUI events and ask the NIC every second for more data, until it times out. This should avoid GUI freezes and CPU drain on bad connections.

But the real solution is: Use 3G and WiFi only :P
