TODO for 1.1 And Beyond
=======================
-lib/silccrypt ****PARTLY DONE****
-=============
+NOTE: Any item that doesn't have (***DONE) in it, isn't done yet. The
+(***TESTING NEEDED) means that the item has been done but not yet properly
+tested.
- o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
- lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h.
- o SSH2 public keys support, allowing the use of SSH2 public keys in
- SILC.
+lib/silcclient, The Client Library
+==================================
- o OpenPGP certificate support, allowing the use of PGP public keys
- in SILC.
+ o silcclient.h clean up and API rewrites.
- o SILC PKCS (silcpkcs.h) reorganizing when other PK supports added.
- Move the SILC Public Key routines away from the crypto library into
- the core library (silccore). silc_pkcs_public/private_key_* routines
- to silc_public/private_key_* routines. The silc_public_key_* routines
- should also automatically handle SILC Public Keys, and other keys
- and certificates as well. Add fe. silcpk.h into silccore. It should
- also include the Public Key Payload encoding and decoding routines.
+ o silcclient_entry.h finishing, all entry relates APIs to this header.
- o Add DSS support.
+ o SilcChannelEntry, SilcServerEntry, SilcChannelUser, allocating,
+ freeing, finding, etc. rewrite. Also making them reference counted for
+ multi threads use.
- o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
+ o Finish all the missing SILC packet processings, rewrites.
- o ECDSA and ECDH.
+ o The client_notify.c rewrite.
+
+ o Resuming to client_register.c (remove client_resume.c)
+
+ o Rekey rewrite.
+
+ o Remove protocol.[ch].
+
+ o File transfer rewrite.
+
+ o Starting key exchange directly, rewrite.
+
+ o Channel messages, channel private keys, channel entires, channel
+ search, etc. rewrite.
+
+ o For many APIs leave the hash context allocations to the caller instead
+ of using client->sha1hash and client->md5hash, or some kind of thread
+ safe (no locking) concept.
+
+ o Password auth test, public key auth test.
+
+ o Key agreement rewrite.
+
+ o Connecting to remote client, peer-to-peer private messages
+
+ o Private message waiting API (in threads)
+
+ o client_attrs.c, attributes rewrite.
+
+ o No SilcBuffer lists back to application in command_reply operations.
+ Convert them all to real lists and/or structures for easier use.
+
+ o Nickname formatting rewrite.
+
+ o UDP connections.
+
+ o Remove silc_client_run and silc_client_run_one from calling SilcSchedule.
+ Leave the scheduling entirely to application.
+
+ o All packet waiting timeout tests and error condition tests.

lib/silcutil ****PARTLY DONE****
============
+ o silc_stringprep to non-allocating version.
+
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
defined.
SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
in separately.

it effectively is buffer->tail - buffer->data, and adding
silc_buffer_len macro can do the same. These would save
- totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer.

- like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
- and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC.

-===============================================
-

lib/silcserver
==============
+ o (Re)write commands/command replys.
+
+ o (Re)write notify handling.
+
o The SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handing is not optimal, because it'll
cause sending of multiple SIGNOFF notify's instead of the one
SERVER_SIGNOFF notify that the server received. This should be
