TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
- o Fix the silc_channels_join to parse the command like, with fe.
- silc_parse_command_line, because currently it ignores all options,
- including passphrase which makes autojoin impossible to +a channels.
- Other important options are ignored too.
-
- o Add local command to switch the channel's private key when channel has
- several private keys. Currently sending channel messages with many
- keys is not possible because changing the key is not possible by the
- user.
-
- o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message.
+ o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message (Fix this to
+ 0.9.x).
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.
-
- o Additions to do after protocol version 1.1:
-
- o Fix the NICK_CHANGE notify handling not to create new entry
- for the changed client, but take the nickname from the notify
- (removes need for resolving as well). Protocol TODO entry 3.
-
- o Add support for list of errors in command replies. Protocol
- TODO entry 1.
+ set the key only if application wishes to set (accept the key) it
+ (Do this to 0.9.x).
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o Configuration file additions:
-
- o Add version handling, to allow, disallow certain versions to
- connect.
-
- 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 Implement the SILC_CUMODE_QUIET user mode (Do this to 0.9.x).
- o Add hashed passwords to config file.
+ o Implement the <Requested Attributes> and the Attribute Payload to
+ the core library, client and server. Maybe implementations of
+ RFC 2425 and RFC 2426 to make it complete.
- o Add rehashing support.
+ o Backup router related issues (Fix this to 0.9.x):
- 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.
-
- 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).
+ 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.
-
- o Backup router related issues
-
- o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
- switching to backup router on router crash.
+ to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 0.9.x).
o Lots of statistics updating is missing around the server.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Fix possible buffer overflows in silc_id_render function.
-
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.
-
- o Rewrite the lib/silcsim/silcsim.h. The SilcSimContext should be
- private and silc_sim_alloc should take necessary arguments.
-
- o SILC RNG does not implement random seed files, and they should be
- implemented.
-
- o The SilcSocketConnection in the SFTP interface is actually redundant
- and should perhaps be removed. The application can save it in the
- context it provides, which is delivered by SFTP libary to all
- callback functions.
-
- o EPOC specific additions/changes required:
+ is not actually async currently (Fix this to 0.9.x).
- o lib/silcutil/epoc routines missing or not completed.
- o Rewrite the lib/silcutil/silcprotocol.[ch] not to have
- [un]register functions, but to make it context based all the
- way. The alloc should take as argument the protocol type and
- its callback (not only final callback). It is not good that we
- have now global list of registered protocols.
+TODO in Toolkit Documentation
+=============================
- o Global RNG should not be allowed on EPOC, since it won't
- work. Every function in library that calls the global RNG must
- also take the RNG context as argument so that application can
- provide it if it doesn't want to use global RNG.
+Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference
+Manual (Do these to 0.9.x).
- o Think some solution to the global crypto lists in lib/silccrypt.
- They won't work on EPOC.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h.
- o Something needs to be thought to the logging globals as well,
- like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
- and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcdlist.h.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcfileutil.h.
-TODO in Toolkit Documentation
-=============================
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silchash.h.
-Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference
-Manual.
+ o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silccrypt/silccipher.h.
- o Lots of ROBOdoc header formatting is undone in lib/silcutil, and
- lib/silccrypt.
+ 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
o Write "Platform Implementations" document to describe what platforms
Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what
- wors 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.
-
- 1. Re-define the Status Payload: it is now 16 bits, split it into two
- 8 bits fields. First field includes status types from 0 - 9 and
- 10 - n *if* it is not an list of errors. If it is list of errors then
- the first field includes 1, 2 and/or 3, and the second field includes
- the error status 10 - n. This way it is possible to send multiple
- errors (list of errors) and we have a way to tell the receiver that
- there will be other errors as well. The second field is used only
- if there is list of errors. If normal status, or normal (single)
- error status the second field is set to zero, and must be ignored.
- Hence, the status works same way as now except for list of errors.
- To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 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.
-
- 3. Define the NICK_CHANGE notify to send the changed nickname as a new
- third argument. This will make the NICK_CHANGE notify handling easier
- in the receiver's end (client primarily) since it removes the
- requirement that receiver must resolve (using IDENTIFY or WHOIS) the
- new Client ID received in the notify (because of the new nickname is
- unknown). 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.
-
- 5. Inviting and banning by public key should be made possible. To be
- included in protocol version 1.x.
-
- 6. Add perhaps SILENCE_USERS, SILENCE_OPERS channel user modes which
- can be used to silence (moderate) normal users and opers (this set
- only by founder). To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 7. Channel Message Payload needs slight redesining to include the IV
- field to the MAC generation of the payload. It is authenticated
- by the packet's MAC but not by the payload's MAC. Since the IV
- belongs to the payload, its integrity should be protected by the
- payload MAC and not alone by packet MAC. To be included in protocol
- version 1.1.
-
- 8. Remove the administrative commands from the protocol all together.
- It does not make sense for the protocol to define how a server is
- reconnected or shutdown, since they are implementation and
- configuration issues. Besides protocol provides only limited set of
- administrative commands and cannot define all that one could imagine.
- To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 9. Add SILC_MESAGE_FLAG_REPLY for being other side to the
- SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_REQUEST. Add generic SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_DATA, which
- can include generic payload, which can include generic data. The
- payload definition is left out for now. To be included in protocol
- version 1.1.
-
- 10. Check command reply error status types in various commands,
- specifically NO_FOPRIV is missing from many commands. To be
- included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 11. Change the wording in Private Message Key Payload definition to
- describe the problems of trusting the payload, and to indicate that
- the receiver may not accept the key in the payload, and to describe
- other means of distributing a key.
-
- 12. The router to router connection diagram in spec-xx is showing the
- primary routers direction to wrong direction. Swap it.
+ works differently etc.
