[clinton/bobotpp.git] / TODO

2.2 will be released when most of these are done

General:
* Make String operator >> act like all other >>'s, and add getline?
* finish ISO C++-ification (remove deprecated uses of static, casts)
* Finish converting UserCommands to use Commands
* Audit code and see what data in classes should be made private and
   have getters/setters added (e.g. logFileName in Bot--if this is
   changed the log file doesn't change after the Bot is started).

Scripting:
* Make bot:random use the Guile RNG instead of C RNG (better?)
   - definition would be (define (bot:random) (random BIG_NUMBER))
   - Just use max-fixnum from the test scripts for BIG_NUMBER
* Add commands to delete a hook
   - return an iterator to the hook and let the user kill it?
   - this would require a new SMOB to be created
* Add Scheme utils function to convert "normal" dates into time since
   1970.
* Finish adding commands to Scheme for sending messages
   (e.g. bot:send-CTCP to send a CTCP message)
* Add util functions for doing stuff like quoting CTCP messages
* Call hooks/public when bot sends a privmsg to a channel (read IRC
   protocol spec for other stuff that might need this)

Networking:
* Add a networked interface to guile repl
   - Admins only
   - SSH? Telnet? DCC-Chat?
   - Access to repl will require user to authenticate
   - Allow server to be disabled at run because of security...
* Fix DCC support
   - Note that Socket will have a buffer overflow problem with DCC
     because it uses a buffer of 512 characters, and a DCC line is not
     limited to 512 chars like an IRC line is. The question is: should
     I rewrite readLine to be more general (allocate buffer on the
     fly) or rename readLine to ircReadLine and add a more general
     readLine? I think I could use a static std::string and have it
     grow as needed, with a default size of 512.
* Add Channel logging (log full text of channel if enabled) script
* Make connecting to irc.oftc.net work...I wonder if their ircd is b0rked

Documentation:
* Work on Texinfo manual (especially scripting section)

Other (post 2.2 release):
* Remove gh_* when Guile 1.8 is released
