TODO for 1.1 And Beyond
=======================
-lib/silccrypt
+NOTE: Any item that doesn't have (***DONE) in it, isn't done yet. The
+(***TESTING NEEDED) means that the item has been done but not yet properly
+tested.
+
+
+SILC Client ****PARTLY DONE****
+===========
+

+
+
+lib/silcclient, The Client Library ***PARTLY DONE****
+==================================
+
+ o silcclient.h clean up and API rewrites.
+
+ o silcclient_entry.h finishing, all entry relates APIs to this header.
+
+ o SilcChannelEntry, SilcServerEntry, SilcChannelUser, allocating,
+ freeing, finding, etc. rewrite. Also making them reference counted for
+ multi threads use. (***DONE)
+
+ o Finish all the missing SILC packet processings, rewrites.
+
+ o The client_notify.c rewrite. (***TESTING NEEDED)
+
+ o Resuming to client_register.c (remove client_resume.c)
+ (***TESTING NEEDED)
+
+ o Rekey rewrite. (***DONE)
+
+ o Remove protocol.[ch]. (***DONE)
+
+ o File transfer rewrite.
+
+ o Starting key exchange directly, rewrite. (***DONE)
+
+ o Channel messages, channel private keys, channel entires, channel
+ search, etc. rewrite.
+
+ o For many APIs leave the hash context allocations to the caller instead
+ of using client->sha1hash and client->md5hash, or some kind of thread
+ safe (no locking) concept.
+
+ o Password auth test, public key auth test.
+
+ o Key agreement rewrite. (***TESTING NEEDED)
+
+ o Connecting to remote client (***DONE)
+

+ Convert them all to real lists and/or structures for easier use.
+ (***DONE)
+
+ o Nickname formatting rewrite. (***TESTING NEEDED)
+
+ o UDP connections. (***TESTING NEEDED)
+
+ o in /cmode and /cumode with +r, maybe the public key and private key
+ could be just some "string", which would then match to "string.pub" and
+ "string.prv".
+
+ o All packet waiting timeout tests and error condition tests.
+

=============
o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
should also automatically handle SILC Public Keys, and other keys
and certificates as well. Add fe. silcpk.h into silccore. It should
also include the Public Key Payload encoding and decoding routines.
+ (***DONE)
o Add DSS support.
- o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.

-lib/silccore/silcid.[ch]
-========================
-
- o Add silc_id_str2id to accept the destination buffer as argument

- o silc_id_str2id, silc_id2str to non-allocating routines.
+lib/silcutil ****PARTLY DONE****
+============
+ o The regex code from lib/contrib might compile fine on all platforms.
+ No need to make it silcutil/unix/ specific. Add them to generic
+ silcutil.c.
-lib/silcutil
-============
+ o silc_stringprep to non-allocating version.
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
in separately.
- o bool -> SilcBool
-
- o SilcBit, bit field:
-
- #define SilcBit(b) unsigned int b : 1
+ o bool -> SilcBool (***DONE)
+ o Silc FD Stream to WIN32 (lib/silcutil/silcfdstream.h)
lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h ****DONE****
=========================
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.
+ totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer. (***DONE)
-lib/silcutil/silcbuffmt.[ch] ****PARTY DONE****
+lib/silcutil/silcbuffmt.[ch] ****DONE****

+ o Add SilcSocketStream for WIN32
-lib/silcutil/epoc/*
-===================
+ o Handle EOS sending to upper layer properly
- o lib/silcutil/epoc routines missing or not completed.
+ o Test QoS after the changes made to socket stream
- o The PKCS#1 also calls global RNG (even though it is not used
- currently in SILC, the interface allows its use).
-
- 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.
-
-lib/silcutil/silcschedule*.[ch] ****DONE****
+lib/silcutil/silcschedule*.[ch] ****PARTLY DONE****
===============================
o Scheduler can be optimized for FD tasks by changing the fd_queue
silc_select but at least it removes one extra tarversing later
for the same list).
- Other task queues should be changed to use SilcList.
+ Other task queues should be changed to use SilcList. (***DONE)
o Add SILC scheduler's internal routines into a table of implementation
function pointers, that the generic code then takes as extern from
implementation. These are the silc_schedule_internal_* routines.
+ (***DONE)
o Change SILC_TASK_CALLBACK to non-static, and remove the macro
- SILC_TASK_CALLBACK_GLOBAL.
+ SILC_TASK_CALLBACK_GLOBAL. (***DONE)
+
+ o SILC Schedule API changes to WIN32.
lib/silcutil/silcasync.[ch] ****DONE****

+ o Add UDP interface (***DONE)
- o system time, universal, generalized.
+ o Add UDP interface for WIN32
+
+ o New network interfaces (***DONE)
lib/silcmath
============
+ o Import TFM. Talk to Tom to add the missing functions. Use TFM in
+ client and client library, but TMA in server, due to the significantly
+ increased memory consumption with TFM, and the rare need for public
+ key operations in server.
+
+ o Change LTM and TFM function names when importing to SILC tree to avoid
+ rare linking problems on system that has same named symbols already in
+ the system.
+
o The SILC MP API function must start returning indication of success
and failure of the operation.
any other MP function (including utility ones) that may allocate
memory.
+ o Test on x86_64.
+
o All utility functions should be made non-allocating ones.
-lib/silcasn1 ****PARTLY DONE****
-============
+lib/silcutil/symbian/ ****PARTLY DONE****
+=====================
- o ASN.1 library
+ o lib/silcutil/symbian routines missing or not completed.
+ (****TESTING NEEDED)
- o Header documentation missing.
-
- o Some string encodings missing (copy/paste matter).
+ 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.
-lib/silcpkix
+lib/silcasn1 ****PARTLY DONE****
============
- o PKIX implementation
+ o ASN.1 library (***DONE)
+ o Header documentation missing. (***DONE)
-lib/silcutil/silcfsm.[ch] ****DONE****
-=========================
+ o Some string encodings missing (copy/paste matter). (***DONE)
- o SILC Finite State Machine API. Replaces SILC Protocol API,
+ o Negative integer encoding
-lib/silcutil/silcnet*, lib/silcutil/*/silc*net* ****PARTLY DONE****
-===============================================
-
- o Add UDP interface
-
- o New network interfaces
-
- o Other functions should remain as they are since these new functions have
- to use them. This way we also provide them for applications that want
- to handle the sockets by themself.
+lib/silcpkix
+============
+ o PKIX implementation
-apps/silcd
-==========
- o Remove the big switch statement from the function
- silc_server_packet_parse_type and replace it with predefined
- table of function pointers where each of the slot in table
- represents the packet type value.
+lib/silcserver
+==============
- Same could be done with notify packets which has big switch
- statement too. Same kind of table of notify callbacks could be
- done as well.
+ o (Re)write commands/command replys.
- o The parser callback in the server will add a timeout task for
- all packets. It will require registering and allocating a
- new task to the SilcSchedule. Maybe, at least, for server
- and router packets the parser would be called immediately
- instead of adding it to the scheduler with 0 timeout. It
- should be analyzed too how slow the task registering process
- actually is, and find out ways to optimize it.
+ o (Re)write notify handling.
o The SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handing is not optimal, because it'll
cause sending of multiple SIGNOFF notify's instead of the one
each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 0.9.x).
+ o Related to above. If multiple JOINs are received in sequence perhaps
+ new key should be created only once, if the JOINs are handeled at the same
+ time. Now we create multiple keys and never end up using them because
+ many JOINs are processed at the same time in sequence. Only the last
+ key ends up being used.
+
o The CMODE cipher & hmac change problem (#101).
