Unofficial Irssi roadmap

TODO/wanted

• CAP (IRCv3 support)
  • sasl (issue #4)
  • server-time
• fix all the bugs
• proxied connections to server (http proxy etc) (this is unrelated to irssi-proxy, the irssi IRC BNC module)

ahf talked about

• cleaning up headers
• merge OTR into core ahf/native-otr
• maybe the proxied connections to server #148
• stable api for irssi 0.9

Things Nei wants to work on

• long term
  • rewrite of fe-text
  • requires touching the core engine in printtext and format
• not so long term
  • rewrite the script api using yaml description + generator code (like swig but not so horrible)
    • port perl to that
    • finish javascript module irssi-gjs
    • complete? python by porting it to that

Nei's issues list

• Overhaul Networking code, IPv6, TOR, Proxies
• Separate Client Core from IRC Core
• Maintaining Python / XMPP, XMPP+OTR?
• Integrate more protocols / Modules?
• Make Irssi a viewer client to itself Teddy

Things dg may work on

[rather]

• Perl cleanups
  • Could we refcount scripts? (issue #101)
  • Unicode and correctly setting UTF8 flag on SVs (tricky because some scripts assume bytes -- see my unicode.pl for example, also because IRC doesn't always use UTF-8)
• Irssi Proxy stuff
  • SSL support, maybe more integrated into the core net stuff: https://github.com/zewt/irssi/commit/08de715576c640ee1014f7a9ea82ca8832e22125 (also all the other nice things in that repo)
• Better SSL support
  • Aim to ship a config that connects using SSL by default (the tricky bit being if not compiled with SSL support)
  • Even better: Ship with ssl verification on (maybe this should actually be set via configure or such, we can be sure distros will have ca certs configured correctly)
  • Do the current SSL options make Irssi vulnerable to downgrade attacks? (SSLv2 is disabled, need to check more)
• Paste
  • Bracketed paste mode (issue #9)
  • Making signal for paste detected
• IRCv3 / isupport / misc IRC protocol cleanups (see CAP above, need to figure out which ones to do first)
