nmdc-ircfrontend/TODO.txt


PRE-RELEASE
===========

- hexchat: missing nick list
--- works if we reply NAMES to WHO queries, but that throws andchat

- yaaic/atomic: doesn't recognise the room join (even with autojoin disabled)

- andchat: system message styling

- part all nicks upon upstream server disconnection

- test the current password auth


WISHLIST
========

- send client keepalives (PING) /and/ ensure we get a reply (PONG)

- client version sync (CTCP VERSION)

- client descriptions (CTCP USERINFO)

- support changing nick (via reconnecting)

- expose upstream op status

- support WHO

- support WHOIS

- support USERIP/KILL/KICK for ops

- use CTCP chat to support irc-special characters in chat messages (colon, newline)

- respond to CAP LS 302 (hexchat) in some way that'll kick us into a modern protocol mode

- support SASL PLAIN authentication as well as just classic PASS

- threadsafe access to libnmdc hub options

- do we need to send the same payload in our PONG response?
