+19:36 [IRCNet] [muzzy] more bugs in irssi, apparently the new version: foo splits out,
+ bar joins, bar changes his nick to foo, foo splits again ->
+ Glib warning "is already in split list (how?)" .. :)
+22:51 [IRCNet] [zhafte] irssi bugs if you put ACT to the right, or maybe it is my terminal?
+22:52 [IRCNet] [zhafte] the numbers tend to go on top of eachother
+
+02:46 <@fuchs> cras, /server foonet.foo.xy and (recognizing it doesn't connect
+ fast enough), and so doing /server barnet.foo.xy (both in the
+ same chatnet) makes irssi joining the net but not rejoining the
+ channels
+
+
+21:55 <@L> 17:04.11 <L> /eval /last quit;/clear;/sb goto 10:00;/last -clear;/sb end
+21:55 <@L> 17:04.27 <L> wait after it scrolls and press page up :)
+21:55 <@L> 17:04.48 <L> oh, you can make Irssi behave correctly with /clear
+ again
+
+20:45 < Juerd> 19:44 -!- Irssi: critical file channels.c: line 122
+ (channel_find): assertion
+20:45 < Juerd> `name != NULL' failed.
+20:45 < Juerd> this happens three times
+20:46 < Juerd> and it happens in a _query_
+20:47 <@Juerd> cras: for some reason irssi doesn't know this happens in a
+ query, and displays "< Juerd:> foo" in the status window
+04.06.2002 08:54 #irssi: <@Garion> cras: i've seen it several times now - a
+ line of 79 or 80 chars (my win is 80 wide)
+ which has an empty line below it, and that
+ line is not refreshed when I switch to the
+ window with that line in it, thus keeping 1
+ line from the old window in the current
+ window. Very confusing
+
+16:39 <@Qrczak> cras: I'm not sure how exactly to reproduce it but it happens
+ often. When I jump to the window with a query using Alt-a
+ (after the other person said something), and close the window
+ (being brought to the last used window), and don't switch
+ windows, and then that person says something again, I'm brought
+ to the new query window automatically (that's of course bad).
+
+ - import libsoup GnuTLS driver
+ http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libsoup/trunk/libsoup/soup-gnutls.c?view=log
+ - lastlog, ignore, hilight and sb levelclear take a list of levels
+ argument in different ways, a uniform way would be better.
+ - /exec - -out cat file does not send the whole file
+ - %n%_ won't show at lastlog..
+ - use_status_window, use_msgs_window should work instantly..
+ - /set show_server_tags or something to always show (combine with hide_server_tagsin ?)..
+ - /SBAR topic placement bottom won't work??..
+ - /op * complaining could be better than "not a good idea"..
+ - how did tab completion complete your own nick..?
+ - /win hide could work even though there are sticky things in that window..
+ - /window server -sticky windows doesn't always realize when a server connects?..
+ - tab completion doesn't work properly if I add utf8 things?..
+ - utf8-texts tend to bug in statusbar (prompt)..
+ - if /set reuse_unused_windows off, and the window seems to be empty,
+ and there would be only one of them it could still be used (?)..
+ - /foreach server /disconnect $tag n8 does not work
+ - /whowas server nick does not work
+ - /msg nick@server or nick%host is fully treated as nickname (log, query)
+ - max_whois won't stay with reconnects?
+ - separate format for privmsg/notice massmessages (anything non-yournick)
+ - set TOS field for all connections (DCC especially)
+ - "show statusbar in empty windows" flag?
+ - statusbar_item_redraw() should just set the size as dirty and calculate
+ it only when really needed.
+ - possible to cache sbar_item->size when nothing else has changed in sbar?
+ ie. mostly when redrawing.
+ - /msg @#chan<tab>
+ - /SB GOTO -<days> <ts>
+ - /query -immortal so autoclose_query wouldn't touch them
+ - autoclose_query is also closing (and finishing) dcc chats (bug #59 ?)
+ - write about %[-s] etc. to default.theme
+ - away handling is a bit buggy. you do /away;/away reason, irssi remembers
+ the away reason only until it receives "you're no longer away" from the
+ first command.. setting it back to away has then lost the reason.
+ - nick_ nick- _nick nick2 nick3 ...
+ - /SAVE -all?
+ - /STATUSBAR xx ENABLE|DISABLE recreates all statusbars which is a bit
+ annoying because some scripts want to do it and input line is cleared
+ because of this..
+ - /SET disconnect_timeout - default 2min, 0 = immediately
+ - reconnecting messages are a bit confusing. it prints "removed reconnection"
+ to the server which it's connecting to next.. maybe the whole reconnecting
+ thing should work so that the record stays there until it's connected
+ successfully.
+ - /set beep_msg_level hilight won't work if I have /hilight -word
+ - /hilight -priority is broken
+ - move /SET hilight_*color to theme
+ - /ignore, /hilight and /lastlog could complain immediately if used
+ regexp is broken. /hilight list could show also if it's broken like
+ /ignore does.
+
+ - /UPGRADE:
+ - support DCCs
+ - rewrite to work by fork()ing a new process and transfer file handles
+ with unix sockets. this would allow the scrollback buffers to be
+ transferred with them as well.
+ - current window layout needs to transferred
+ - reconnections aren't transferred(?)
+
+ - Logging:
+ - /LOG OPEN -targets *!*cras@*.fi
+ - /SET autolog -> /LOG OPEN -targets * (internally, at least)
+ - /LOG OPEN shouldn't really open the file until first line is
+ written in it
+ - autoclosing logs doesn't work too well. Problems are:
+ - after certain inactivity private message logs should be closed
+ - but DCC chats shouldn't be closed until the chat itself is closed
+ - which we can't know really currently, since they don't need
+ to be in queries
+ - channels should be closed when they're left (they are now, but)
+ - /WINDOW CLOSE shouldn't close it immediately, since we'll still
+ receive at least the PART message
+ - so, log items should know more about what they are exactly, and when
+ they should be closed. private messages could have the same timeout
+ as now, time_t closetime field updated every time msg is received.
+ channels could do the same when receiving "window item destroy" signal,
+ except with a small timeout. DCC chats are more problematic...
+ - support for mirc/ansi color logging
+ - people want to show ignored stuff in logs.. how?
+ - private messages could show mirc-style "Session Ident: nick (host)"
+ which would update when nick's host changes. Then you wouldn't need to
+ print the host before each msg.
+ - support for logging channel messages from specific people
+
+ - Awaylogs:
+ - either fully support logging only in servers you're away, or change the
+ awaylog to open immediately after /AWAY command, not based on any
+ away replies from server. Maybe the later would be better, since you
+ would want to set yourself away when connections to all servers were
+ disconnected at the time.. Maybe /AWAY should update status in
+ reconnection records as well?..
+ - /SET awaylog_auto_delete, after setting yourself unaway
+ - support for using strftime() formats (and $tag etc). only problem with
+ this is that all the different awaylogs would need to be tracked and
+ /CATed when setting yourself unaway
+ - /AWAYLOG could show the current awaylog and optionally reset it
+ - The channel name should be optional there
+ - after /upgrade when being away the awaylog is not being written to.
+
+ - Window item placing:
+ - !channel vs. !12345channel. it's layout saved with full name, but joined
+ with either one
+ - when dcc chat is accepted and query exists from the same nick, replace
+ the query window with the dcc chat window.
+ - closed DCC chats should add temporary window bind to the dcc chat so
+ future chats for same nick would use the same window
+
+ - DCC
+ - /DCC SEND wildcard support
+ - /DCC GET -4 / -6 with autodetection
+ - When we receive a DCC SEND request, irssi could warn if the file
+ already exists
+ - show estimated time left and kB/s in /DCC list.
+ - implement requesting files with DCC GET from remote client for dcc file
+ servers. good for people behind firewalls. Does this feature exist
+ in other clients, or should I create DCC REQUEST? Same for DCC CHAT..
+ Maybe it could be just that the port was specified as 0, so the other
+ side would know that it needs to be the one to do listening.
+ - /SET dcc_autoresume ON, and sending the same file again while it's
+ already being downloaded doesn't work too well.. Even autorename doesn't
+ work.
+ - With fast DCC SENDs (90kB/s, FreeBSD) typing get laggy (really?)
+ - /DCC CLOSE #, /DCC would print the IDs
+ - /SET dcc_use_proxy to use IRC proxy for DCC connects as well
+ - support for special vars in /SET dcc_download_path, so $N could be used
+ - No way to autoclose dcc chat windows which have been closed by another
+ side.
+
+ - Generic chat commands:
+ - /MSG /CTCP /ACTION =dcc_chat,#channel
+ - /ACTION -ircnet with good tab support like in /MSG
+ - -nick -channel parameters to /ACTION
+ - /MSG a,b,#c,#d - it should print the message to #c and #d channel
+ windows and show only "a,b" as target when printing it to msg window..
+ Or if autoquery is set, it should print them to those windows. Hmm.
+ maybe some multipeople query support? :) /query nick1,nick2 and sending
+ text there would send it to both. Seems to work already but receiving
+ messages from either nick1 or nick2 don't go to that window..
+ - /BAN: setting of what netmask to use for banning with IPv6 addresses
+
+ - Netsplits
+ - BUG: said "+1 more", while the /SETs to control that were set properly,
+ with one guy it only said that +1 more..
+ - BUG: netsplit quit isn't printed if quit -> join -> quit -> join
+ happens fast (really?)
+ - maybe the "+x more" should be configured in theme file instead in
+ future with the embedded scripting.. At least I'd want to print all
+ the splitted nicks in log files.
+ - per-window listing of splitted servers, it looks very stupid when
+ you see 4 lines of servers splitting in each window but only a few
+ nicks after them.
+ - per-window listing of splitted nicks, so the split messages isn't shown
+ multiple times for each channel with possibly same nicks
+ - /NETSPLIT <server>|<#channel>|<nick wildcard>
+ - SERVERMODE +ov nick nick is shown instead of just Netjoin @nick because
+ code is stupid. fixed in irssi-rewrite..
+ - show in query windows
+
+ - Crashes:
+ - <dg> i've managed to reproduce the bug, if i make three split windows (/window show 3..5), then set the windows to not be sticky and go to one of the windows, then alt+number to another window then go back the other window the display prints two windows in the same window
+ - the old irssi's /upgrades to the new, before it changed to /set autolog_path
+ $1 and crashed?..
+ - active_mainwin was somehow NULL and crashed.. /window kill did it,
+ probably something to do with window_close() switching to the same
+ hidden window inside the split window, which I was about to kill
+ anyways because it wasn't sticky..
+
+ - Scripts:
+ - print whois in active window
+ - some script to handle ctcp floods, like doing /IGNORE * CTCPS when it
+ happens.
+ - move into scripts:
+ - /SET timestamp_timeout
+ - /MSG completion list should be modifiable from scripts
+ - script to remove nick from list after /IGNORE nick
+ - nick completion list should be modifyable afterwards:
+ - /SET completion_nicks_lowercase (remove from irssi)
+ - /SET completion_nicks_capitalize
+ - /SET completion_nicks_strip (keep only alphanumeric chars)
+ - irchat-like JOIN/PART/QUIT combiner (QUIT: nick1, nick2, nick3), would
+ require the line replacing work properly which it doesn't..
+
+ - Irssi proxy:
+ - doesn't propagate your own nickchanges to other clients
+ - list sessions, kill them
+ - /set irssi_proxy_ips <allow connections only from specified IPs>
+
+ - Misc IRC related things:
+ - support for mode +q in dancer - also same as +b %xxx modes..
+ - /BAN -ip, -time [<time>] (/ALIAS knockout?)
+ - /KICKBAN to support same options than /BAN (would /ALIAS kickban work?)
+ - ban list prints "x seconds ago" .. should be x days, mins, hours, ..
+
+ - Windows:
+ - /WINDOW SIZE -sticky, so f.e. /WINDOW BALANCE wouldn't affect it.
+ - Check that /LAYOUT SAVE works properly with all the different /SETs,
+ like reuse_unsued_windows, windows_auto_renumber and autoclose_windows.
+ What should it do if some channel is /PARTed with autoclose_windows
+ set?..
+ - /LAYOUT SAVE should ask if we want to save those window items that
+ are "bound sticky" but of which server is currently not connected.
+ - /WINDOW scrollback_lines /WINDOW scrollback_hours
+ - Optionally always start the lines from bottom of the screen when
+ screen is empty (how would scrolling work?)
+ - Vertically split windows
+ - /SET use_msgs_window and /SET use_status_window should take effect
+ immediately
+ - /WINDOW notify_level - would specify what window activity will be
+ shown for the window
+ - Some sort of autobalancing for split windows after terminal resize,
+ maybe with window-specific options that "this window is n lines",
+ "this is at least n% of available space", etc.
+
+ - Keyboard handling:
+ - Some kind of state support for it, so it would be possible to make
+ support for vi keys easily.
+ - Editor-like (or bash-like) line editor - it would wrap to next line
+ instead of scrolling.
+ - When pasting text, irssi could send some signal that sends the pasted
+ lines in GList which signal handlers could modify.
+ - Already existing / at start of line handler should use this
+ - Automatically remove empty space at the start/end of lines,
+ from start of line it would work so that if each line begins with
+ 4 spaces but some more, it would only remove those 4 spaces from
+ each so pasting code wouldn't mess up indents etc.
+ - Skip all autoreplaces and completions, so that f.e. tabs are
+ printed as-is (a few /BINDs would do this but...)
+ - Should empty lines be pasted too? Maybe optionally
+ - /BIND -askkey command
+ - /BIND -delete should be saved in config
+ - ^W (and some others) don't update cut buffer.
+ - default binds: M-d, M-y
+ - /PASSWORD command that asks you to type the password to entry line and
+ would hide it with asterisks, good if people spy on you :)
+ - ^R-like history search
+ - Key to execute the command, but not place it in history
+ - Key to remove active entry from command history
+ - Optionally save command history between restarts
+ - clear_history
+
+ - Notify list:
+ - showing who's online and who's offline doesn't work properly.
+ - adding/removing people in notify list don't show in /NOTIFY immediately
+ - when someone in notify list joins, should it be placed to start of
+ /MSG completion list?
+ - /NOTIFY -away and -idle: support for wildcards in nicks (requires of
+ course that we're in same channel as nick)
+ - Automatically add queried nicks to notify list temporarily .. display
+ the notifys for the nick in the query window
+ - /NOTIFY -once - notify only once when the user comes to IRC, forget
+ this after it.
+ - /NOTIFY -comment xxx - add a comment to notify. print the comment when
+ user comes to irc.
+ - "Should we check people in notify list when you're away" option
+ - use /WATCH instead of /ISON in servers that support it
+ - Show when the nick was last seen
+
+ - Ignores:
+ - /IGNORE <nick> -> use hostmasking (related to channel syncing problem,
+ see "bigger code changes") with support for -type and /SET ignore_type
+ - /IGNORE -strip -pattern away * actions ..
+ - can't have multiple ignore -patterns with same nick
+ - /ignore -activity .. would ignore it just in window activity list,
+ not hide the text.
+ - The nick cache stuff just made it slower. Remove it or figure out how
+ it could be faster.
+ - combined ignore/hilight thingy, see hilights
+
+ - Hilights:
+ - /HILIGHT list doesn't print several options. Maybe some generic
+ function which could be used for printing those options for all these
+ /IRCNET, /SERVER ADD, etc. commands.
+ - /HILIGHT -mask <mask> <word>: not possible use both.
+ - case sensitive hilight checking.
+ - ignore coloring in the words it matches, so eg. /hilight foo would
+ match to f^Bo^Bo
+ - BUG: it STILL sometimes creates hilight activity while there's no
+ hilights, around mode changes (haven't heard for a while though,
+ maybe it is anyway fixed? :)
+ - change the colors of both the nick and the matched word.
+ - /SET hide_text_style still breaks /HILIGHT -words
+ - even if hilight_color is "", %n is printed after hilighted text.
+ - /hilight -actcolor %M -color %w -regexp -level publics
+ -channels #channel1,#channel2 .*
+ removes the bold from /me actions of other users
+ - people want to hilight their own nicks everywhere, eg. /HILIGHT $N
+ - automatic nick hilighting at beginning of line should be optional,
+ like some people would want -word hilighting in it..
+ - exceptions
+ - Merged ignores/hilights thingy and maybe even something others ..
+ some first-match-wins table where you could easily add/move stuff.
+
+ - Scrollback:
+ - Optionally show a "bookmark" (line mark actually, a line full of '-'
+ chars) in a window. It would be displayed at the position where you
+ were when the window was active last time. /MARK command to force
+ updating it to bottom of screen in active window.
+ - /SCROLLBACK REDRAW doesn't do anything to non-format lines (should
+ redraw timestamp, etc.)
+ - /LAST -since <timestamp>
+ - /LAST : use /SET timestamp_format
+ - /LAST -allwindows would check the lastlog from all open windows
+
+ - Formats / themes:
+ - scripting for formats (see the themes.txt), and make the default.theme
+ so that you REALLY don't need to touch /FORMATs, unless you want to
+ change english texts (eg. joins/parts/quits etc. are fully configurable
+ in theme file)
+ - Possibility to modify abstracts and replaces in themes from irssi.
+ (or maybe not, just makes it more difficult)
+ - Document the different formats briefly :)
+ - /FORMATs don't have styling anymore, so translation to different
+ languages should be possible with still the ability to use different
+ themes easily. /SET formats <filename> could change the file where
+ to read all /FORMATs, but formats in theme file would override them.
+ - terminfo/termcap supports changing palette. add support for themes
+ as well to specify it.
+ - hilight formats. pubaction_hilight would be nice, but so would many
+ others as well. something generic for all these would be nice .. would
+ it be possible to do this in theme side with scripting without a
+ format for each different thing?
+
+ - Server commands:
+ - Optionally wait for a while (0.5-1sec) before sending the message to
+ server, if arrow up key is pressed abort it. Also remove the line from
+ screen and put some notice about it being not sent.
+ - If we receive "cannot send to channel" from server or "you're not
+ chanop" events, remove the privmsgs/notices or modes/kicks/etc. from
+ send queue automatically. Useful for aborting things when you get
+ kicked after pasting lots of text or deopped after doing /OP * or
+ something ;) .. use /SERVER PURGE <target> for this..
+ - Split PRIVMSGs and NOTICEs automatically to multiple commands if
+ their length exceeds the 512 bytes (or it should be shorter actually
+ so server won't split it when it adds your nick+host mask)
+ - Fix the flood protection to be aware of max. input buffer, which is
+ 1024 bytes by default (/STATS d, CF). Now irssi may excess flood when
+ sending lots of lines longer than ~200 chars.
+ - IRCNET: Flood protection doesn't count the extra penalty for MODEs
+ and KICKs, also extra penalty should be given in messages (all
+ commands?) for each 100 chars.
+
+ - Text buffer:
+ - support for printing ALL characters in text buffer, including ^B, ^C,
+ etc. etc. so we could selectively decide what mirc colors to translate
+ and what not. Like, we would want to show (or hide) it in normal
+ messages, but we would want to show it as-is in user's ident and
+ ban lists. This should fix /HILIGHT -word as well.
+ - EPIC-like /SET mangle_inbound, maybe mangle_outbound?
+ - %> should work in normal text lines
+ - support for iso-2022-jp? does anyone even want this? ;) it works with
+ esc$B..encoded text...esc(B - encoded text is in 7bit chars, not sure
+ - fix the textbuffer code so that typofix.pl actually works
+ - if you're in beginning of scrollback when lines are being removed,
+ the screen is messed up (?). Also, after /SB END the --more-- is
+ still there and you can't get rid of it (couldn't reproduce)
+ - does /SB REFRESH work? Make it update the lines lazily, only when
+ needed so it would be fast.
+ - Make /SET HOLD_MODE
+ - /CAT should pause on every screenful of text, this should be some kind
+ of printtext_multiline_paused() function which would use some callback
+ to ask for new text.
+ - when scrolling, using pgup/down. it would be neat if the last/first
+ overlapping line in the newly redrawn buffer would be colorized for a
+ second or two, indicating where to continue reading
+
+ - Statusbar
+ - finish the support for multiple statusbar groups, and add
+ /WINDOW STATUSBAR command.
+ - finish the support for multiple input lines and a way to switch
+ between them, so eg. each split window could have it's own input line.
+ - padding char so instead of just spaces you could have ------
+ - hide the whole statusbar if none of it's items use any space
+ (visible = "auto")
+ - /SBAR # PLACEMENT top|bottom sometimes messes up the screen a bit,
+ ^L helps though
+ - /STATUSBAR prompt DISABLE hangs irssi because there's no input line.
+ Add some check to not allow this.
+ - /STATUSBAR could list also disabled bars
+ - command to list all available statusbar items
+
+ - Server connecting:
+ - More verbose connecting
+ - show if we're using IPv4 or IPv6
+ - show hostname we're using
+ - show the proxy settings we're using
+ - Reconnecting shouldn't try to remember all those settings, especially
+ /SET real_name xx + /RECONNECT should work.
+ - DNS problems may cause removal of i-line, irssi shouldn't stop
+ trying to reconnect the server if it happens.. Maybe it never should
+ stop reconnecting to servers that are in config.
+ - Remember the previous IP while reconnecting, if DNS lookup fails use
+ it. Some DNS servers return "host not found" when their internet
+ connection is broken and irssi stops reconnecting..
+ - /RECONNECT <servertag> - If <servertag> belongs to some IRC network,
+ reconnect to next server in that ircnet, otherwise just reconnect
+ to the server.
+ - /SERVER <number> would connect to n'th server in list. Show the
+ numbers with /SERVER LIST
+ - /CONNECT <ircnet> could remove existing ircnet connection from
+ reconnect queue if it exists (only if there's only one?). Also if
+ we're already connected to the ircnet it could complain about it
+ and -yes would force it.
+ - connect() may be stuck forever, timeout it after a few minutes.
+ - Raise the reconnect time every time you get disconnected, so if your
+ network goes up/down all the time, we'd see you join/part channels
+ more and more often instead of flooding all the time.
+ - Better support for round robin addresses (eg. irc.openprojects.org)
+ - /CONNECT -raw? A bit like telnet/nc host.
+
+ - Tab completion:
+ - Command parameter completion doesn't work properly when -options
+ are used.
+ - Possibility to complete -option parameters? Like -ircnet <tab>, also
+ /MSG -servertag<tab> and /LAST -level<tab> should work. All of these
+ require some command definition changes..
+ - bash-style (or whatever it should be called) tab-completion
+ - key for reverse completion
+ - /MSG <tab> completion shouldn't include queried nick there (optional)
+ - File completion could guess when it's wanted, word beginning with /
+ (not at start of line of course, unless / isn't in cmdchars)
+ or ~/ or ./
+ - filename completion doesn't work properly if path has spaces
+ - /FORMAT xx <tab>
+ - don't add useless completions to list. eg /RUN nick<tab> shouldn't
+ work
+ - Priorities to completions. And at least command completion could use
+ it so it'd put last the commands that require chanops/ircops.
+ Requires support in command_bind().
+ - /DCC commands could complete nicks (/dcc close, /dcc get, ..)
+ - check the TODO about nick completion scripts..
+
+ - Modules:
+ - Figure out module vs. plugin wording, what is what ;)
+ - API for plugins which would be guaranteed not to change
+ (at least too much/too often :)
+ - "chat protocol modules" - they could be loaded at startup so they'd be
+ equal to IRC protocol (autoconnecting servers would work etc.)
+ - on-demand autoload modules (f.e. by /command or maybe some signal)
+ - Try to make them create only .so files instead of .a and all..
+ - dependencies for modules? double /[un]load prints a bit stupid text
+
+ - perl scripting:
+ - /LOAD [-script | -module], /UNLOAD script
+ - Possibility to modify entry line somehow
+ - Add structures: MODULE_REC, THEME_REC, KEYINFO_REC,
+ CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC, etc.
+ - signal_emit() - if emitting unknown signal, it could automatically
+ save the types of sent parameters so another perl script could
+ signal_add() it
+ - Irssi::keyboard_entry_redirect()
+ - Irssi::format_get_text()
+ - Irssi::signal_remove() could accept hashes
+ - /command parameter parser so it'd be easier to handle -options etc.
+ - Try to get the Makefiles generated so that compiling with GCC would
+ always work even if the perl wasn't compiled with GCC..
+ - Irssi::Timeout_add() and input_add()'s data option could be optional
+ and maybe allow multiple parameters
+
+ - Bigger code changes:
+ - Restructure code tree so that non-IRC chat protocols would be in
+ same places than IRC protocol. Something like:
+ - src/irc (like now)
+ - src/irc/fe-common, src/irc/fe-text
+ SILC could then make symlinks to src/silc to whereever the SILC
+ module was unpacked. Make it possible to build SILC support built-in.
+ - /SETs have now boolean/number/string types. Add more:
+ - Time: Allow to use s|m|h|d to specify the time, default to
+ seconds. When sending reply to user, use the time formatting too,
+ not just x seconds or minutes. "10d 5s" should also work.
+ - Level: Like "all -msgs -public". Complain about unknown strings.
+ - size: 5M, 5k, ..
+ - Reading configuration file should be changed somehow .. at least add
+ some helper functions for reading lists since comments inside them
+ now crash irssi. Also if setting wasn't expected type can cause
+ crashes so add proper error checkings everywhere. And is_node_list()
+ etc. should be in uppercase..
+ - Channel syncing is evil. Make it optional, and use /USERHOST when
+ needed if host isn't known. /BAN at least should do this, and while
+ at it, we could make /IGNORE as well to ignore based on mask. Also,
+ if /USERHOST doesn't find anything, use /WHOWAS info.
+ - Irssi saves some setting strings to static const char * variables in
+ several places.. this works pretty well usually, except when /RELOADing
+ config and some "setup changed" signal handler goes and calls some
+ function that still uses the old saved string which points to free'd
+ memory.. this should somehow be fixed failsafe. maybe just g_strdup()
+ them everywhere or figure out something better..
+ - Better priority specifying for signals, probably should add
+ int priority without limited range.
+ - fix server redirections to handle remote events correctly: very unlikely,
+ but its possible that replies to two remote whoises are received exactly
+ at the same time overlapping each others
+
+ - Commands:
+ - try to get the 0.9 command parser to work..
+ - user definable parameter definitions and how they're handled, like
+ cmsg <target> <colorized-msg> - then there'd be some function called to
+ colorize the third parameter. same for tab completion.
+ - support for multiple subcommands in the command parser, like
+ /window name foo level msgs.
+ - A way to disable some command entirely? eg. not show in completion
+ list or /HELP or anywhere..
+
+ - extra spaces after commands don't always work, eg /wii nick, /help xx
+ - hide channel key in statusbar. This would require a $cmode_nokey or
+ something..
+ - fe-none doesn't compile with --with-perl-staticlib because it doesn't find
+ the ui/textui stuff..
+ - we should probably print timestamp even if level contains MSGLEVEL_NEVER,
+ as long as it's not the only level.. Except when /CATing awaylog we don't
+ want to do that.
+ - If /SET print_active_channel is ON, actions still don't show the channel
+ - nick's user/host can't be printed for public messages
+ - /HELP <alias> should work
+ - /CLEAR -all should clear the window activities as well, leaving hilights
+ - support :: properly in IPv6 masks
+ - when you get disconnected, print your quit message to all channel windows
+ - possibility to print rawlog in window
+ - should $10 work (in special vars)?
+ - /VER should be alias
+ - /MODE #channel b should resync the banlist, and /QUOTE NAMES #channel
+ should resync the nicklist (irssi/ircd bugs).
+ - #include support to config file
+ - make detaching work
+ - with solaris, /EXECs don't die when irssi does (tail -f ...)
+ - /EXEC -interactive: print the commands you send
+ - handle /JOINs with server redirections so they get aborted if we're not
+ seing a JOIN for a while.
+ - make sure the config file is never lost, write it to some temp file first
+ and after then move it over real config file.
+ - you could configure which events (whois, notify, etc.) to show in what
+ windows (all, current, status, msgs)
+ - /SET -reset?
+ - printnickmsg() which would print nick changes and quit messages. And
+ export that function to perl so kills.pl could print kills with it too.
+ - regexp host masks
+ - automatically switch to status window when using commands that always
+ print their output to status window, like /whois.
+ - automatic whowas if whois wasn't found should be moved to fe-common.
+ it could also print something like "nick $0 not in IRC, but this user
+ WAS in IRC:"
+ - Add command for changing automatic replaces and completions
+ (/autoreplace, /complete ?) .. could these be scripts? ..
+ - commands to move channels and servers in the config list, to set the
+ join/connect order of them.
+ - All those options to /WHO and /LIST commands that EPIC has
+ - Use different formats for /WHO #channel? There's no need to show the
+ channel in every line then (NOTE: /WHO #chan1,#chan2 should have two
+ headers)
+ - nick/channel lists at right side of the text version of irssi. Ctrl-N
+ for example could hide/show them. add mouse support for it.
+
+ - try profiling the code with /cat filewith10000lines
+ - /SERVER ADD -ircnet foonet bar 6000 pass1,
+ /SERVER ADD -ircnet barnet bar 6000 pass2
+ dircproxy identifies ircnets based on password
+ - $@0 always returns 4 (?)
+
+
+*** GTK UI
+
+ - %| doesn't work with irssi text widget
+ - some problems when using multiple windows with focus being all the time in
+ one of the windows and it can't be changed to different window?! Probably
+ has something to do with click to focus.
+ - split windows are buggy, destroying them doesn't really work well..
+ - mirc ctcp togglemenuitem isn't updated right
+
+*** Big things
+
+ - some sort of address book? our own irssi ctcp to ask for other irssi users
+ for their information (of course not without asking (except optionally))..
+ could be nice also to automatically update it, keep track of all seen
+ users gathered when joining channels, whois, who, etc. commands.
+ automatically updating information could be host masks, nicks, ips, seen in
+ channels, operator in channels, .. user specified checks like last topic or
+ mode changes or even msgs to you/some channel/with some keyword. great for
+ spying people ;) maybe even useful sometimes..
+
+ .. but what database would be best for this?
+
+ - GTK (non-GNOME) version: icons to toolbars, accelerators to menus
+ - Windows style MDI windows are possible with GtkFixed .. Some people would
+ like this.. too much job for me, it would need building the MDI windows
+ ourself (title bar, borders, resizing, etc.)
+
+ - online help, documentation, ...
+ - plugins:
+ - scheme, tcl, python scripting? eggdrop/epic compatible scripting?
+ - IRC bot, eggdrop is too old, needs a replacement ;) (started, aborted)
+ - Multiplayer games! :) Chess, tic-tac-toe, othello, battleship, tetris,
+ etc. Existing games should probably be used .. though there doesn't
+ seem to be any of these (except tetris) for gnome right now..
+ - audio / video chat :)
+
+*** Needs rethinking ..
+
+ * Notify list GUI
+ - _one_ popup dialog could open which lists all nicks in notifylist, maybe
+ sorted by arrival time, display the dates, latest joined could be with
+ different color? etc.
+ - nick-specific options:
+ - pop up the dialog
+ - run some command (like /exec as soon as I get that done :)
+
+ * common api for statusbar handling
+ - it should work just as well in text mode and gui, colors could be done
+ with the normal % formats. GUI just ignores the colors..
+ - display number of ops, voices, normals and ircops in statusbar
+
+ * API for creating/modifying menus and toolbar, especially from plugins
+ - at least one configurable menu ("usermenu"), or maybe make the whole
+ menubar user configurable
+
+
+*** ..in GTK UI .. just some things to remember if i'll rewrite it again.
+
+ - itext:
+ - save/find text
+ - text selection draws the entire selection every time you move the
+ mouse...
+ - if some other window has got much text, switching to it first time
+ takes some time..?
+ - editor in setup for ~/.irssi/startup
+ - dcc floods could pop up lots of dialogs..
+ - gui help
+ - change signal handling in gui-gnome so that the actual drawing and
+ functionality are in different signals, so that plugin could change the
+ whole look and feel of irssi.
+ - currently irssi sends USERHOST commands every now and then to find out
+ who are away and who are not.. optionally it could instead just watch if
+ someone hasn't written anything to channel in n minutes and mark it "away"
+ to nicklist.
+ - check new irssi versions with http rather than with irssibot..
+ - gnome statubar:
+ - clock?
+ - dcc transfer meter (gtk progressbar)
+ - dcc send: allow selection of multiple files to send (also for dnd from
+ gmc!) Allow dropping files to anywhere in irssi.
