=======================
-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.
+
+
+lib/silcclient, The Client Library
+==================================
+
+ 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.
+
+ o Finish all the missing SILC packet processings, rewrites.
+
+ o The client_notify.c rewrite.
+
+ o Resuming to client_register.c (remove client_resume.c)
+
+ o Rekey rewrite.
+
+ o Remove protocol.[ch].
+
+ o File transfer rewrite.
+
+ o Starting key exchange directly, rewrite.
+
+ 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.
+
+ o Connecting to remote client, peer-to-peer private messages
+
+ o Private message waiting API (in threads)
+
+ o client_attrs.c, attributes rewrite.
+
+ o No SilcBuffer lists back to application in command_reply operations.
+ Convert them all to real lists and/or structures for easier use.
+
+ o Nickname formatting rewrite.
+
+ o UDP connections.
+
+ o Remove silc_client_run and silc_client_run_one from calling SilcSchedule.
+ Leave the scheduling entirely to application.
+
+ o All packet waiting timeout tests and error condition tests.

=============
o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in

+lib/silcutil ****PARTLY DONE****
============
+ 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
defined.
SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
in separately.
- o bool -> SilcBool

- #define SilcBit(b) unsigned int b : 1

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.

- currently in SILC, the interface allows its use).
+ o Handle EOS sending to upper layer properly
- 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 Test QoS after the changes made to socket stream

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)

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/silcutil/silcfsm.[ch] ****DONE****
-=========================
-
- o SILC Finite State Machine API. Replaces SILC Protocol API,
-
-
-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/silcserver
+==============
+ o (Re)write commands/command replys.
-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.
-
- 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 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).
