TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client ============================== o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message (Fix this to 1.0). TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library ================================ 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 set the key only if application wishes to set (accept the key) it (Do this to 1.0). o Remove conn->current_channel. o Additions to do after protocol version 1.1: o Add support for list of errors in command replies. Protocol TODO entry 1. TODO/bugs In SILC Server ======================== o Configuration file additions (Do this to 0.8.x): o Add incoming connection frequency, incoming connection frequency for single IP address, key exchange frequency, key exchange frequency for single IP. Add also frequency base. o If server send CUMODE_CHANGE notify (like setting founder) to router and router does not have founder on channel (founder is left or there's no founder on channel at all), the router will accept the server's founder mode change, even though it perhaps should not do that (Fix this to 0.9). o The router should check for validity of received notify packets from routers (fix this to 0.9). Following NOTIFYs needs to be verified: o JOIN (check that joining is allowed) o SIGNOFF (maybe should check that notifier owns the client) o Backup router related issues (Fix this to 1.0): o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when switching to backup router on router crash. o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 1.0). 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! TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries =========================== o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but is not actually async currently (Fix this to 1.0). TODO in Toolkit Documentation ============================= Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference Manual (Do these to 0.9 and 1.0). o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h. o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcdlist.h. o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcfileutil.h. o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silchash.h. o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silccipher.h. o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silcpkcs.h. o Write "Programming with Toolkit" document, describing how to build Toolkit, how the build system works, where is everything, how new (external) projects can be glued into Toolkit (use irssi as an example), and how external projects can use Toolkit without gluing into it (how to link etc), debugging, architecture, types, etc. o Write "Platform Implementations" document to describe what platforms Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what works differently etc. TODO in SILC Protocol ===================== Current protocol version is 1.0. However, it is far from being perfect, and needs to include additional features. Following protocol TODO entries describe new stuff to be added to protocol versions 1.x. 2. Define that WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands must send list of errors if multiple Client ID (or Channel ID and Server ID for IDENTIFY) was requested and was not found. Each unfound entry must cause an error command reply to the sender. Also define that errors must be sent *after* sending successfully found entries (this way receiver may ignore them). To be included in protocol version 1.1. 4. Add "request parameters" or similar to the WHOIS command, which can be used to request various parameters (something not returned by standard WHOIS command) about clients (info that could be fetched even from clients). Additional specification (or appendix) should be done to define the payload and the parameters. It could be used to make the WHOIS command support various search conditions as well. This would be the way to extend the WHOIS command to support various new features without always making the command incompatible to previous version. To be included in protocol version 1.1. 17. Cell wide channel founder support, and permanent channels when founder mode set. 20. Services support? 21. Subscription/IRC's notify kind support? o Inviting and banning by public key should be made possible. To be included in protocol version 1.2. o UTF-8 support/requirement for nicknames & channel names. UTF-8 support in terminals and OS's are so hazy that this matter is left for consideration in next version of the protocol (1.2). For good UTF-8 reference and tutorial see: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html. What should CLI application do if it receives nickname that it cannot display without messing up the terminal? If UTF-8 is mandatory in SILC then SILC clients cannot be allowed to start on terminals that do not support UTF-8 (which renders 98% of users unable to use CLI SILC app without hacking their environment).
