TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
- o Fix the silc_channels_join to parse the command like, with fe.
- silc_parse_command_line, because currently it ignores all options,
- including passphrase which makes autojoin impossible to +a channels.
- Other important options are ignored too.
-
- 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
- user.
-
- o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message.
+ o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message (Fix this to
+ 1.0).
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
o The PRIVATE_MESSAGE_KEY packet is not handled (it is implemented
though). This should be added and perhaps new client operation
should be added to notify application that it was received and
- set the key only if application wishes to set (accept the key) it.
+ set the key only if application wishes to set (accept the key) it
+ (Do this to 1.0).
o Additions to do after protocol version 1.1:
- o Fix the NICK_CHANGE notify handling not to create new entry
- for the changed client, but take the nickname from the notify
- (removes need for resolving as well). Protocol TODO entry 3.
-
o Add support for list of errors in command replies. Protocol
TODO entry 1.
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o Configuration file additions:
-
- o Add support for multipe PublicKey params in connections
- sections. For now, add this support only in Client and not
- in ServerConnection nor RouterConnection.
-
- o Add version handling, to allow, disallow certain versions to
- connect.
+ o Configuration file additions (Do this to 0.8.x):
o Add incoming connection frequency, incoming connection frequency
for single IP address, key exchange frequency, key exchange
frequency for single IP. Add also frequency base.
- o Add hashed passwords to config file.
-
- o Add rehashing support.
-
o If server send CUMODE_CHANGE notify (like setting founder) to router
and router does not have founder on channel (founder is left or there's
no founder on channel at all), the router will accept the server's
- founder mode change, even though it perhaps should not do that.
+ founder mode change, even though it perhaps should not do that (Fix
+ this to 0.9).
o The router should check for validity of received notify packets from
- servers (after all buggy servers may send notify that is actually
- something that should have not been sent).
+ routers (fix this to 0.9). Following NOTIFYs needs to be verified:
+
+ o JOIN (check that joining is allowed)
+ o SIGNOFF (maybe should check that notifier owns the client)
+
+ o Backup router related issues (Fix this to 1.0):
+
+ o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
+ switching to backup router on router crash.
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
and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
- to everybody on the channel.
-
- o Backup router related issues
-
- o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
- switching to backup router on router crash.
+ to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 1.0).
o Lots of statistics updating is missing around the server.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Fix possible buffer overflows in silc_id_render function.
-
o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
- is not actually async currently.
+ is not actually async currently (Fix this to 1.0).
- o Rewrite the lib/silcsim/silcsim.h. The SilcSimContext should be
- private and silc_sim_alloc should take necessary arguments.
- o SILC RNG does not implement random seed files, and they should be
- implemented.
-
- o The SilcSocketConnection in the SFTP interface is actually redundant
- and should perhaps be removed. The application can save it in the
- context it provides, which is delivered by SFTP libary to all
- callback functions.
-
- o EPOC specific additions/changes required:
-
- o lib/silcutil/epoc routines missing or not completed.
+TODO in Toolkit Documentation
+=============================
- o Rewrite the lib/silcutil/silcprotocol.[ch] not to have
- [un]register functions, but to make it context based all the
- way. The alloc should take as argument the protocol type and
- its callback (not only final callback). It is not good that we
- have now global list of registered protocols.
+Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference
+Manual (Do these to 0.9 and 1.0).
- o Global RNG should not be allowed on EPOC, since it won't
- work. Every function in library that calls the global RNG must
- also take the RNG context as argument so that application can
- provide it if it doesn't want to use global RNG.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h.
- o Think some solution to the global crypto lists in lib/silccrypt.
- They won't work on EPOC.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcdlist.h.
- o Something needs to be thought to the logging globals as well,
- like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
- and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcfileutil.h.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silchash.h.
-TODO in Toolkit Documentation
-=============================
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silccipher.h.
-Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference
-Manual.
-
- o Lots of ROBOdoc header formatting is undone in lib/silcutil, and
- lib/silccrypt.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silcpkcs.h.
o Write "Programming with Toolkit" document, describing how to build
Toolkit, how the build system works, where is everything, how
o Write "Platform Implementations" document to describe what platforms
Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what
- wors differently etc.
+ works differently etc.
TODO in SILC Protocol
*after* sending successfully found entries (this way receiver may
ignore them). To be included in protocol version 1.1.
- 3. Define the NICK_CHANGE notify to send the changed nickname as a new
- third argument. This will make the NICK_CHANGE notify handling easier
- in the receiver's end (client primarily) since it removes the
- requirement that receiver must resolve (using IDENTIFY or WHOIS) the
- new Client ID received in the notify (because of the new nickname is
- unknown). To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
4. Add "request parameters" or similar to the WHOIS command, which can
be used to request various parameters (something not returned by
standard WHOIS command) about clients (info that could be fetched
5. Inviting and banning by public key should be made possible. To be
included in protocol version 1.x.
- 6. Add perhaps SILENCE_USERS, SILENCE_OPERS channel user modes which
- can be used to silence (moderate) normal users and opers (this set
- only by founder). To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
7. Channel Message Payload needs slight redesining to include the IV
field to the MAC generation of the payload. It is authenticated
by the packet's MAC but not by the payload's MAC. Since the IV
payload MAC and not alone by packet MAC. To be included in protocol
version 1.1.
- 8. Remove the administrative commands from the protocol all together.
- It does not make sense for the protocol to define how a server is
- reconnected or shutdown, since they are implementation and
- configuration issues. Besides protocol provides only limited set of
- administrative commands and cannot define all that one could imagine.
- To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 9. Add SILC_MESAGE_FLAG_REPLY for being other side to the
- SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_REQUEST. Add generic SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_DATA, which
- can include generic payload, which can include generic data. The
- payload definition is left out for now. To be included in protocol
- version 1.1.
-
- 10. Check command reply error status types in various commands,
- specifically NO_FOPRIV is missing from many commands. To be
- included in protocol version 1.1.
-
11. Change the wording in Private Message Key Payload definition to
describe the problems of trusting the payload, and to indicate that
the receiver may not accept the key in the payload, and to describe
other means of distributing a key.
- 12. The router to router connection diagram in spec-xx is showing the
- primary routers direction to wrong direction. Swap it.
+ 16. Add STATS command after all to the protocol for providing practically
+ same information client gets when connects to a server. Normal
+ server would send this to router always when received from client.
