-TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
+TODO for Irssi SILC Client 1.0
==============================
- o /cumode for unknown nick does not give any error message (Fix this to
- 1.0).
+ o Testing - See test plan:
+ http://silcnet.org/docs/silc-client-1.0-test.pdf
+ http://silcnet.org/docs/silc-client-1.0-test.ps
-TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
-================================
-
- 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).
-
- o Additions to do after protocol version 1.1:
-
- 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 Add support for list of errors in command replies. Protocol
- TODO entry 1.
-
-
-TODO/bugs In SILC Server
+TODO for SILC Server 1.0
========================
- 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 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 The router should check for validity of received notify packets from
- routers (fix this to 0.9). Following NOTIFYs needs to be verified:
-
- o JOIN (check that joining is allowed)
- o SIGNOFF (maybe should check that notifier owns the client)
- o KILLED (check that killling is allowed (Protocol TODO #13))
-
- o Backup router related issues (Fix this to 1.0):
+ o Fix CUMODE_CHANGE and CMODE_CHANGE for founder key things.
- o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
- switching to backup router on router crash.
+ o 1.2 backup router support
- 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.
-
- 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).
+ o Test cases for all cryptographic primitive in lib/silccrypt/
+
+ o Test cases for all payload encoding and decoding routins in lib/silccore/
+
+ o Test cases for math library routines in lib/silcmath/
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).
-
- o ROBOdoc documenting missing from lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h.
+Manual (Do these to 0.9.x).
- 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.
+ o Document the "notify" and "command_reply" client operations variable
+ argument lists for all possible notify types and command replys.
o Write "Programming with Toolkit" document, describing how to build
Toolkit, how the build system works, where is everything, how
Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what
works differently etc.

-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.
-
- 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.
-
- 5. Inviting and banning by public key should be made possible. To be
- included in protocol version 1.x.
-
- 6. Add perhaps SILENCE_USERS, SILENCE_OPERS channel user modes which
- can be used to silence (moderate) normal users and opers (this set
- only by founder). To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 7. Channel Message Payload needs slight redesining to include the IV
- field to the MAC generation of the payload. It is authenticated
- by the packet's MAC but not by the payload's MAC. Since the IV
- belongs to the payload, its integrity should be protected by the
- payload MAC and not alone by packet MAC. To be included in protocol
- version 1.1.
-
- 8. Remove the administrative commands from the protocol all together.
- It does not make sense for the protocol to define how a server is
- reconnected or shutdown, since they are implementation and
- configuration issues. Besides protocol provides only limited set of
- administrative commands and cannot define all that one could imagine.
- To be included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 9. Add SILC_MESAGE_FLAG_REPLY for being other side to the
- SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_REQUEST. Add generic SILC_MESSAGE_FLAG_DATA, which
- can include generic payload, which can include generic data. The
- payload definition is left out for now. To be included in protocol
- version 1.1.
-
- 10. Check command reply error status types in various commands,
- specifically NO_FOPRIV is missing from many commands. To be
- included in protocol version 1.1.
-
- 11. Change the wording in Private Message Key Payload definition to
- describe the problems of trusting the payload, and to indicate that
- the receiver may not accept the key in the payload, and to describe
- other means of distributing a key.
-
- 13. Add the killer's client ID to the KILLED notify. To be included in
- protocol version 1.1.
-
- 14. The length of Arguments Num field in Notify Payload and Command
- Payload enforces that total of 256 arguments can be associated
- to a such payload. However, command-xx draft specified much higher
- values, and these should be fixed.
-
- 15. The LEAVE command reply should return the Channel ID of the channel
- that was parted.
+ o Searching of predefined keywords, exact and partial matches (would be
+ nice).
