Also, location is no longer tracked. It seems like the most fragile piece of information on there.
One thing I actually liked with FriendsFacts (the non-Cosmos, icky embedded Seahooks one) was its recording of last-friend-location. Didn't work too well (only really updated location when you did a "who"), but it was better than nothing.
I mainly don't like it because it will only rarely be right. It gets updated whenever the FRIENDSLIST_UPDATE event fires, which basically means whenever you log on and whenever you open your friends list. Thus the vast majority of the time, even when the friend is online, the location in the DB is wrong. Then, of course, while you're offline the friend can move around...
(The event fires when a friend goes offline too, but by that point their location is no longer there to be grabbed.)
ability to add guildmember, friend, ignore notes yet? :)
Friend was already there. I just committed guild and ignore notes, though. (The guild notes only show in the player-status view, currently. I'll probably want to tweak that...)
Hm...can you add the possibility to group friends?
Maybe you can take a look at Holofriends.
I like the way how it displays the friends and it also has a groupfunction.
You can download the originalversion (long outdatet) from here
An updated version you can get here (recommended)
Thanks a lot for the compact mode. For some reason ranks are not properly displayed, everyone who's online has R? as rank. Besides that, some of my friends don't properly show the note I added, even though the icon to the right contains the note. Other notes are displayed though. Hm. Btw, may I ask to remove the "No note" if there's no note yet as it will make it easier to quickly see which friends have a note added?
Oh, and the alpha for the class colored names doesn't seem to be correct - I assume it's not 1 but something around 0.7ish.
PS: encountered "AuldLangSyne.lua:293: attempt to index field `?' (a nil value)" when switching to guild tab.
PPS: ever considered recreating the friends pane to a column view, similar to the who/guild view? E.g. the drop down to display zone/guild is nice, and also the "show offline members" checkbox.
--On revision 4963, receiving the exact same error message as Lewzephyr & Maia above clicking the note icon in guild list.
--Even after doing a "Who", it does not show a person's guild, race or PvP rank. This is with compact mode disabled, and either PvP rank name enabled in combination with numerical rank or alone.
The only time it recorded and/or showed a person's guild/race/PvP rank is when I grouped with them. Which is less than what FriendsFacts gave (it updated that info after doing a "Who").
I don't mind the note icon remaning there; it is how CT_PlayerNotes works. As long as it is highlighted when a note is put in (as it is now).
AuldLangSyne: 5050:
- Probable fix for "293: attempt to index field `?' (a nil value)" and "395: attempt to concatenate field `name' (a nil value)".
- Optimization of ShowFriends() - reduce the loop size.
- Remove 'no note' text from compact mode.
- Add scanning of /who results.
- Integrate patch from vhaarr to make lastseen display nicer.
This commit is totally, utterly untested. My hard drive failed yesterday, and I'm committing this from work. Respond with any errors and I'll happily fix 'em.

The note thing is weird - if it's still happening with the latest version, could you try to see if there are any common factors between the notes that don't show?
The addon can only see someone's rank when you're close enough to mouse over them. So until you have pseudo-physically met each of your friends their ranks will remain approximations. (If anyone knows a more flexible way to grab ranks, let me know...)
Oh, and the alpha for the class colored names doesn't seem to be correct - I assume it's not 1 but something around 0.7ish.
It's not the alpha - I'm using Babble-Class2.0 to get the colors without having to worry about localization, and I suppose that it gives colors that are slightly different from the standard ones? (The alpha is definitely set to 'ff', at least.)
Hrm... it displays a highlighted Note-icon for some People in the Friendslist that don't have any notes. If you click that, the following Error appears, using the latest Version from the SVN.

Are you going to be able to add functionaly to span ignore lists over all my characters? I have some smacktards in my guild that I don't want to hear on my multiple chracaters.

I've used it for the last 10 hours without any problems (except other bugs from ALS that already existed).
.lua replacement attached, I've emailed a diff to Kemayo.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's working :D
Thank you for it, will be usefull for my "who is this friend?" management ^^
AuldLangSyne.lua:437: attempt to concatenate field `name' (a nil value)
As a request, could you add an option to share friends/ignore lists between chars, please ?
Upon login of a friend/guildie, the note appears on the same line as or below the line showing the person has just connected.
Example:
Player X has come online
Player note would appear here.
This is of course dependant upon having the notification in interface options turned on.
