COMPATIBILITY
=============

Everything works:
	Hexchat
	Mango IRC (ads)
	AndroIRC (ads)
	Mutter
	Weechat

Usable, with bugs:
	AndChat
	- duplicate usernames appearing. possibly an upstream bug https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/424
	Irssi
	- critical nicklist_set_host: assertion 'host != NULL' failed
		- still occurs even without blank nicks in room privmsgs

Unusable:
	Lite IRC (ads)
	- sends USER /then/ NICK instead of the other way around, handshake fails	
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  <<< :nmdc-ircfrontend 375  :- Message of the day -
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  <<< :nmdc-ircfrontend 372  :- Connected to nmdc-ircfrontend. You /must/ join #chat to continue.
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  <<< :nmdc-ircfrontend 376  :- End of MOTD
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  >>> 'USER' [pineapple420 0 * :first last]
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  <<< :Your nickname is already being used KILL  A
		2016/05/07 22:57:04  >>> 'NICK' [pineapple420]
		2016/05/07 22:57:04 Broken loop.
	Yaaic/Atomic
	- doesn't properly understand/parse the room join
	Atomic
	- crashes if a blank nick is used for room privmsgs (but PtokaX is fine)



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

- part all nicks upon upstream server disconnection

- test the current password auth

- detect our own /me messages + don't echo back

- threadsafe access to libnmdc hub options

- client descriptions (CTCP USERINFO)

- expose upstream op status



WISHLIST
========

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

- client version sync (CTCP VERSION)

- support changing nick (via reconnecting)

- support USERHOST (used by androirc)

- support WHOX

- support WHOIS

- support USERIP/KILL/KICK for ops

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

- support SASL PLAIN authentication as well as just classic PASS

- remove color code escape sequences

- KILL messages not being exposed in client(?)
