+TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
+==============================
+
+ o Giving KILL command crashes the client.
+
+ o Waiting the answer for accepting new key after the protocol has
+ timeout and then ansering Y will crash the client.
+
+ o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
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.
+ 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 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.
+
+ o Set different kind of settings, like, /set mutual_authentication,
+ /set key_exchange_timeout, /set conn_auth_timeout etc etc.
+
+ o Add KNOCKOUT local command. It should kick an client from channel and
+ set a ban for it for number of seconds.
+
+ o Add KICKBAN local command. Kicks and bans the specified client.
+
+ o Do some /set show_mail_notification that would show a notification
+ on screen when new email is received.
+
+
+TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
+================================
+
+ 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 Some of the ops->say's should be removed and moved to the application
+ from the library. Go through these.
+
+ 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
+ client but it might not be. It should at least number the clients
+ using the client->num so that they can be accessed from the user
+ interface separately or it could just remove the old client unless
+ it is on some channels.
o Add client library parameters or options that handle what kind of
messages the library should print out (using `say' client operation,
but all error printing should be handled by the library, etc...
This is not a showstopper.
- o Input line on UI is buggy. Cursor movement etc bugs. Too lazy to
- fix it.

TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
+ o Seems that router does not announce its client to the connecting
+ server when server announces its clients on the channel.
+
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 ID List must be optimized. When the lists grow the searching
- becomes a lot slower and is some cases the lists are searched many
- times, like with channel messages (twice at least). Some sort of
- hash tables should replace the lists. Thus, the ID cache should be
- rewritten to use hash tables internally.
-
- o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
- done using the dotconf config library.
-
o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
should be done at some point.
- o Server says that it is able to listen on multiple ports but currently
- that is bogus. It can, but internals are for single 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
+ when adding the new config file format:
+
+ o Server says that it is able to listen on multiple ports but
+ currently that is bogus. It can, but internals are for single
+ server.
- o Protocol execution timeouts are hard coded, should be configurable.
+ o Protocol execution timeouts are hard coded, should be
+ configurable.
- o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask format
- as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
+ 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 serverconfig.c.
- They can be defined but they are totally ignored currently. And they
- should be redefined also.

TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o IPv6 support for ID's and into the code.
+ o The timeout calculation can go negative at least on BSD, so rewrite
+ in in lib/silcutil/silcschdule.c.
+
+ 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 Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
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.
+ The SilcBuffer ones should be removed since buf->data and buf->len
+ is more convenient to use. However, the silc_buffer_[un]format
+ routines support only SilcBuffer so they would require reallocation
+ of SilcBuffer. Maybe support for raw data (and not just SilcBuffer)
+ should be added silc_buffer_[un]format_? routines. These are currently
+ only cosmetic changes but at some point must be done to make the
+ payload interfaces consistent.
+
+ 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
+=====================
+
+ 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.
+
