      Tasks (TODO):

      • QScheduler:

        • few timers on the same time
        • Make QTelemetryManager instance parent of QScheduler (set in constructor)
      • QTask. Add custom tasks classes:

        • submit task
        • delete expired log task
        • send left behind logs (on network error, etc)
      • QTelemetryManager

        • Log submitted data to file
        • Write submission time to log file
        • change submit() method to return submit DateTime
        • test how submit() works
        • submission time to JSON
      • Data Sources

        • Test reset() for all sources on QTelemetryManager::submit()
        • Test OpenGLInfoSource work in/for
          • nvidia driver (Linux)
          • Windows
          • Mac
        • Test PlatformInfoSource (QSysInfo) in:
          • windows
          • mac
        • Test QmlDesignerUsageTimeSource in QTC 4.6
      • Fix QTelemetry.dll link and loading errors under Windows

      • Fix QTelemetry deployment on Mac

      • StatisticsModel:

        • data() returns
          • current telemetry
          • archived (from log)
        • filter model by telemetry level:
          • current telemetry
          • archived (from log)
      • StatisticsDialog

        • add time list to combo for current and every logged file
        • filter statistics line edit with autocomplete
        • save button
        • clear archive log button
      • SettingsDialog

        • Log expiration option:
          • after submission
          • after some period of time
          • never expires
      • Change all DateTime in code to UTC

      • Dummy REST-server for testing
