TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
+ o Rewrite the channel's user list thingy and cross list it to the
+ Client entry.
+
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
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
+ o Make the normal server save user counts with LIST command reply.
+
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).
each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
to everybody on the channel.
- o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
- done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
+ o New configuration file format must be added. 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 IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
+ o Lots of statistics updating is missing around the server.
+
o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
and thus not require any memory allocation. Same will happen
with silc_id_payload_* functions.
+ o Remove the `truelen' field from SilcBuffer as it is entirely
+ redundant since we can get the true length of the buffer by
+ doing buffer->end - buffer->header. Add SILC_BUFFER_TRUELEN
+ macro instead. Consider also removing `len' field too since
+ it effectively is buffer->tail - buffer->data, and adding
+ SILC_BUFFER_LEN macro can do the same. These would save
+ totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer.
+
+ Add also perhaps function silc_buffer_alloc_size that would
+ effectively do:
+
+ return silc_buffer_pull_tail(silc_buffer_alloc(size),
+ size);
+
+ to not require the user to give the pull_tail anymore.
+
o Optimizations in Server
o Remove the big switch statement from the function
should be analyzed too how slow the task registering process
actually is, and find out ways to optimize it.
+ o The SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handing is not optimal, because it'll
+ cause sending of multiple SIGNOFF notify's instead of the one
+ SERVER_SIGNOFF notify that the server received. This should be
+ optimized so that the only SERVER_SIGNOFF is sent and not
+ SIGNOFF of notify at all (using SIGNOFF takes the idea about
+ SERVER_SIGNOFF away entirely).
+
o Add SilcAsyncOperation to utility library.
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
