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 We should get rid of the clientconfig.[ch] in Irssi SILC and move the
+ cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
+ file.
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
public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
- o We should get rid of the clientconfig.[ch] in Irssi SILC and move the
- cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
- file.
+ 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
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
interface separately or it could just remove the old client unless
it is on some channels.
+ o silc_client_close_connection leaks memory. Read the XXX from code.

TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o When server quits and all clients of that server are removed from all
- channels the channel keys are re-generated for all clients. This is
- a bug and should be done only once per channel after all clients of
- the server has been removed.
-
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.
not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
- o The CAST cipher is not compiled currently due to compilation errors;
- check those. Cast is in lib/silccrypt/cast.c.
-
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.
TODO In SILC Protocol
=====================
- o pp-03 draft:
-
- 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.
-
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
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
