TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
==============================
+ o Add the SFTP support.
+
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 JOINing to +a (requires passphrase to JOIN) does not work on autojoin.
+ Seems the passwords in the .silc/config has no effect.
+
o Add local commands to list the current server and client public keys
that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
- o The QUIT command should wait for server's disconnection (at least for
- a while) before exiting the application.
-
o The JOIN command's HELP is generated from Irssi IRCs JOIN help and
the syntax is not same in SILC. This must be fixed. Most likely
we must forget the Irssi's JOIN command and mimic it to get our
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
- o Someone changing nickname on the channel from nick to Nick will cause
- that the new nick becomes Nick@host, because the old nick is not
- removed from the cache before adding the new one. This is because
- of the way NICK_CHANGE notify is handled. This should be fixed so
- that if the old nick is to be removed the new nick will *replace*
- the old one.
+ o Add the SFTP support.
o JOIN command's argument handling is buggy. See the XXX in the code.
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+ o After backup resume protocol the TOPIC_SET was not handled correctly
+ by all (unknown Channel ID).
+
+ o Server signoff notifys does not go to normal servers from routers.
+
+ o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when switching
+ to backup router on router crash.
- o Add a timeout to handling incmoing JOIN commands. It should be
+ o Change the server to connect to another server from low ports (706)
+ and not from high ports. Currently we cannot do incoming connection
+ checking by remote port because the port is not fixed.
+
+ o Announcements are incomplete: channel topics are not announced,
+ user modes (UMODE) are not announced.
+
+ 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 The backup router support described in the protocol specification
- should be done at some point.
+ o Optimize the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands to somehow check whether the
+ requested clients are on some channel that the server knows about. If
+ this is the case then the request is not needed to be forwarded to the
+ router. One specific optimization could be done with JOIN command.
+ If the previous command to the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands are JOIN
+ command (from the client) it can be expected (though it must be
+ verified) that the client is resolving the users on the channel it just
+ joined. If server has done this once there is really no reason to
+ resolve it twice (from the router), it can reply directly back with
+ the information it knows. This is because the server would (will)
+ receive notifications from the router for users that are on a local
+ channel.
+
+ The same is with whowas command. Actually with all these commands
+ it should be checked also whether the requested information is local.
+ If it is, there is no reason to send it to the router, since the server
+ knows it best.
+
+ o Add support for sending the LIST command to primary router on normal
+ server to receive all the created channels. Currently the command
+ returns only the channels the server knows about. The protocol spec
+ does not prohibit of sending the LIST to the router.
o Incomplete IPv6 support:
o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
+ o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+
o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
tasks relates closely to this as well and must be done at the same time
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
+ o Add some silc_rng_get_byte_fast that read directly from /dev/urandom.
+ That can be used for padding generation. The current is too slow.
+
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
and uint32 as data and data length as arguments. Now some of the
routines do already that but most of the routines use SilcBuffer.
The SilcBuffer ones should be removed since buf->data and buf->len
- is more convenient to use. However, the silc_buffer_[un]format
- routines support only SilcBuffer so they would require reallocation
- of SilcBuffer. Maybe support for raw data (and not just SilcBuffer)
- should be added silc_buffer_[un]format_? routines. These are currently
- only cosmetic changes but at some point must be done to make the
- payload interfaces consistent.
