TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
- o Do not let irssi update the status bar on JOIN until the join command
- is successful, so that it does not update that I'm on the channel
- even though I could not join the channel.
-
- o The CMODE notify handling in client library may return NULL
- client entry pointer to the application (when server was the CMODE's
- executor). Fix this somehow.
-
- o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
+ 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 Add local commands to list the current server and client public keys
that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
file.
+ o The QUIT command should wait for servers disconnection (at least for
+ a while) before exiting the application.
+
+ o The JOIN commands HELP is generated from Irssi IRCs JOIN help and
+ the syntax is not same in SILC. This must be fixed.
+
+ o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
+
o Extend the /HELP command to support sub commands or something. So
that user can say /help set mutual_authentication they would get
help of the mutual_authentication setting.
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
- o Library should save the cumode and not start from 0 everytime then
- CUMODE is issued. A mechanism of getting the channel entry for
- CMODE and CUMODE by the command reply identifier must be added.
- Otherwise saving the modes for the channels and channel user
- entries are impossible since server does not send Channel ID as
- command reply in these functions.
-
- o All protocol execution timeouts are hard coded. They should be
- configurable and the Irssi SILC client should be able to set them
- with for example /set key_exchange_timeout etc. The silc_client_alloc
- should take a Params structure or something as argument.
-
- o silc_client_close_connection leaks memory. Read the XXX from code.
-
o The client library must manage somehow when receiving client that has
same nickname, same server, same username but different Client ID than
what we have in the cache. It is now assumed that they are different
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
+ o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+
o Incomplete IPv6 support:
- o silc_server_get_users_on_channel does not support IPv6 based
- Client ID's.
- o silc_server_route_get and the route code in general supports
- only IPv4.
o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
- o DNS/IP lookup blocks the server. This must be fixed. Check the
- resolver stuff (resolver(3), resolver(5)). Either we have to do the
- own resolver stuff (through scheduler, if possible without writing
- too much own stuff) or use threads.
-
o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
should be done at some point.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- 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 Some ./prepare problems with latest autoconf and automake.
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
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.
-TODO In SILC Protocol
-=====================
+TODO/Bugs in native WIN32 support (libraries)
+=============================================
- o pp-03 draft:
+ o silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way than on
+ Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32.
- o Add SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_SIGNED flag that indicates that the
- messages is signed with the senders private key and thus can
- be verified with its public key. This is especially handy
- feature when sending privat messages without having negotiated
- private keys, thus the servers decrypts and re-ecnrypts the
- messages. Other applications exists as well.
+
+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
TODO After 1.0
==============
- o Pthreads support. A lot of problems are solved with server (and with
- client as well) if we add pthread support. We can forget things such
- as non-blocking connecting etc, and we can do things such as DNS/IP
- lookups async. The server itself also benefits great deal from
- threads, especially from performance point of view.
-
- But, this is not a small task and almost entire SILC Library has to
- be made re-entrant. Own API is probably added for the threads support
- to make changes in the future as painless as possible. So the API
- would have things like silc_mutex_lock, silc_mutex_unlock and
- friends...
-
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
