cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
file.
+ o Add auto-nick support to Irssi, so that the user specified nickname
+ would be sent to the server immediately (automatically) after the
+ client is connected to the server.
+
o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
o Extend the /HELP command to support sub commands or something. So
behaviour and maybe should be removed. The changer should always
get the one it wants and not have the formatted nickname.
+ o Additions to do after protocol version 1.1:
-TODO/bugs In SILC Server
-========================
+ 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 It is possible that IDENTIFy's check_client will register two pending
- callbacks for same ident, which must not happen. Check same for WHOIS
- as well.
+ o Add support for list of errors in command replies. Protocol
+ TODO entry 1.
- o If auto-reconnecting to router and EOF is received during the
- connecting phase the server will not try to auto-reconnect anymore
- after that. Fix to auto-reconnect.
+
+TODO/bugs In SILC Server
+========================
o Backup router related issues
TODO in SILC Protocol
=====================
- o 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.
-
- o 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.
-
- o 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.
+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.
