libssh2/TODO

Things TODO
===========

* Add more info to the man pages.

* Decrease the number of mallocs. Everywhere.

* Use SO_NOSIGPIPE for Mac OS/BSD systems where MSG_NOSIGNAL doesn't exist/work

* Extend the test suite to actually test lots of aspects of libssh2

* Fix all compiler warnings (some can't be done without API changes)

At next SONAME bump
===================

* stop using #defined macros as part of the official API. The macros should
  either be turned into real functions or discarded from the API.

* fix the parts of the API where object pointers and function pointers are
  mixed like libssh2_session_callback_set()

* remove the following functions from the API/ABI

  libssh2_base64_decode()
  libssh2_session_flag()
  libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data()
  libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust()
  libssh2_poll()
  libssh2_poll_channel_read()

* Rename a few function:

  libssh2_hostkey_hash => libssh2_session_hostkey_hash
  libssh2_banner_set => libssh2_session_banner_set

I want to remove all those macros from the official API at next soname bump 2009-01-02 01:52:46 +03:00			`* stop using #defined macros as part of the official API. The macros should`

* Renamed the functions in src/transport.c to be _libssh2_transport_ prefixed and introduced a transport.h header. * Fixed the blocking mode to only change behavior not the actual underlying socket mode so we now always work with non-blocking sockets. This also introduces a new rule of thumb in libssh2 code: we don't call the external function calls internally. We use the internal (non-blocking) ones! * libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust2 was added and libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust is now deprecated * Introduced "local" header files with prototypes etc for different parts instead of cramming everything into libssh2_priv.h. channel.h is the first. 2009-03-26 18:41:14 +03:00			`* remove the following functions from the API/ABI`
one function to remove, one proto to correct 2009-03-23 16:54:16 +03:00
			`libssh2_base64_decode()`
			`libssh2_session_flag()`

libssh2_poll() and libssh2_poll_channel_read() are now considered and documented deprecated and they will be removed at next soname bump. It also saves us from fixing some rather quirky bugs in libssh2_poll()... 2009-04-15 01:38:36 +04:00			`libssh2_poll()`
			`libssh2_poll_channel_read()`
My knownhost work as of right now. It works at least partly. More tests and tweaks will come. 2009-05-07 17:09:48 +04:00
			`* Rename a few function:`

			`libssh2_hostkey_hash => libssh2_session_hostkey_hash`
			`libssh2_banner_set => libssh2_session_banner_set`
