+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
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 The backup router support described in the protocol specification
should be done at some point.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
+ 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
o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
- o All the ID Cache routines has not been implemented in
- lib/silccore/idcache.c.
-
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
o The CAST cipher is not compiled currently due to compilation errors;
check those. Cast is in lib/silccrypt/cast.c.
- o silc_hash_table_rehash is not implemented in lib/silcutil/silchashtable.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.
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.
+
TODO After 1.0
