TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
- o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message (Fix this to
- 1.0).
+ o Server password is not used at all. It is not possible to automize
+ the password authentication currently. The silc_get_auth_method
+ in irssi/src/silc/core/client_ops.c should find the connection's
+ password, only if not found then continue resolving the auth method.
+ Alternatively it can do it after resolving in the callback.
+
+ o UTF-8 encode/decode WHOIS userinfos, topic, etc.
+
+ o Testing
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
+ o Add support for the <Requested Attributes> in WHOIS. Sending and
+ reception should be added.
+
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).
+ (Do this to 0.9.x).
- 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.
+ o Testing
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 Add support for the <Requested Attributes> in WHOIS. Sending and
+ reception, with clients and servers should be added.
- 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 Backup router related issues:
- 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 Add special handling in router and server for "connection
+ timed out" error. Be optimistic.
- 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 Testing
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.
+ to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 0.9.x).
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!
+ o Testing
+
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).
+ is not actually async currently (Fix this to 0.9.x).
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).
+Manual (Do these to 0.9.x).
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.
Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what
works differently etc.
+ o Automatically generated index (would be nice).
-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.
-
- 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.
-
- 18. Describe the SSH public key, X509, OpenPGP and SPKI certificates
- encoding format in SKE (from their respective definitions).
-
- 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). See also site
- http://gratrix.net/unicode/
+ o Searching of predefined keywords, exact and partial matches (would be
+ nice).
