TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
- o /key msg * list crashes the client
-
o Add local command to switch the channel's private key when channel has
several private keys. Currently sending channel messages with many
keys is not possible because changing the key is not possible by the
that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
- o The QUIT command should wait for server's disconnection (at least for
- a while) before exiting the application.
-
o The JOIN command's HELP is generated from Irssi IRCs JOIN help and
the syntax is not same in SILC. This must be fixed. Most likely
we must forget the Irssi's JOIN command and mimic it to get our
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
+ o Implement the <founder auth> and founder privileges gaining to
+ the JOIN command. This will bypass invite-only mode as well for
+ the client who got the founder mode during JOIN.
+
o After backup resume protocol the TOPIC_SET was not handled correctly
by all (unknown Channel ID).
- o Server signoff notifys does not go to normal servers from routers.
-
o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when switching
to backup router on router crash.
- o Change the sever to connect to another server from low ports (706)
+ o Change the server to connect to another server from low ports (706)
and not from high ports. Currently we cannot do incoming connection
checking by remote port because the port is not fixed.
o Announcements are incomplete: channel topics are not announced,
user modes (UMODE) are not announced.
+ o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
+ authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
+ be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
+
o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
If it is, there is no reason to send it to the router, since the server
knows it best.
- o Add support for sending the LIST command to primary router on normal
- server to receive all the created channels. Currently the command
- returns only the channels the server knows about. The protocol spec
- does not prohibit of sending the LIST to the router.
-
- o Incomplete IPv6 support:
-
- o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
-
- o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
-
o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
tasks relates closely to this as well and must be done at the same time
o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
- o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
+ o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
serverconfig.c. They can be defined but they are totally
ignored currently. And they should be redefined also.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
- compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
- defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
- not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
- tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
-
- o All payload parsing (decoding) functions should take unsigned char *
- and uint32 as data and data length as arguments. Now some of the
- routines do already that but most of the routines use SilcBuffer.
- The SilcBuffer ones should be removed since buf->data and buf->len
- is more convenient to use. These are currently only cosmetic changes
- but at some point must be done to make the payload interfaces
- consistent.
-
- o Incomplete IPv6 support:
-
- o All network routines in lib/silcutil/silcnet.[ch] does not
- support IPv6.
- o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
- lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
-
- o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
- SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
- in separately.
+ o See client library TODO/bugs
TODO/Bugs in native WIN32 support (libraries)
actually async currently.
-TODO In SILC Protocol
-=====================
-
- o If channel founder mode is set and the invite mode is set on channel
- then the founder should be added to the list automatically so that
- if the founder signoff's it will be able join again to the invite only
- channel wihtout being invited.
-

TODO After 1.0
==============
+ o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
+ compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
+ defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
+ not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
+ tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
+
+ o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
+ SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
+ in separately.
+
o X.509 certificate support. SILC protocol supports certificates and
it would be great to have support for them. This is a big task as
support has to be made for ASN.1 as well. I've looked into OpenSSL
nice as SSH is widely used all over the place. SILC Protocol
supports SSH2 public keys.
+ o OpenPGP certificate support.
+
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
