/ = in progress, x = done, ? = to be discussed, F = charybdis3.1 or next releases

[/] finish legacy code removal
  [x] remove 2.8 report_error() in ratbox imported stuff
  [F] client.c, channel.c is very 2.8 style still. it'd be nice to pack them into their own 
      namespace and such. moreover, the other 2.8 code needs similar rewriting/reworking too...
  [x] merge m_join.c and m_sjoin.c in one module (same functions, done in ratbox3)
  [ ] rewrite s_auth.c
    [ ] authentication state/lock manager
    [ ] move resolver/auth checker code into separated modules 
[x] port to libratbox
  [x] get it running
  [x] clean up maxconnections kludges &c
  [x] in-process SSL
  [x] port and use ratbox ssld for server links
  [x] merge with libratbox SVN
[/] ssl stuff
  [x] client-to-client ssl
  [x] server-to-server ssl
  [x] ssl usermode (+Z)
  [x] ssl channelmode (done by extban and chm_compat)
  [ ] acknowledgement message for SSL users like '* *** You are connected using SSL cipher "DHE RSA-AES 128 CBC-SHA"'
  [x] tool for generating ssl certificates and other stuff
  [x] gnutls backend for at least SSL connections (replacing libcrypto use in m_challenge would be nice too)
[x] merge some stuff from ircd-seven directly (to be determined what)
  [x] remote d:lines support
  [x] PASS selector:password for auth{} (useful for dynamic IPs)
[F] kline/xline/resv sync
[F] make an ability of using bandb instead of .conf files as bans storage
[x] drop non-TS6 (legacy protocol) support
[F] Doxygen code documentation
[?] Patch or core-feature - libguess on-fly any-charset-to-utf8 translation
[/] module engine rework
  [/] more beautiful way of adding new channel modes by module
   [x] basic functionality
   [x] some example modules
   [ ] think on how could we append privilege checking for simple chmode - like chm_staff, but additionaly limited (e. g. IsOperResv etc);
       possibly move the same code for all functions into separated one and make it extern?
       another idea is too make that work with privilege groups, like "serveradmins" or "ircops"
  [ ] make nick/user/host validation functions/match tables able to work in separated modules,
      this will help us making support for native characters sets/slashes in host etc
  [ ] auth checker module
  [ ] resolver module
  [ ] hooks
   [ ] can_kick
     which modules could we add in charybdis distro?
   [ ] can_send_channel
     [?] +C (ctcp)
   [ ] can_send_user
     [?] +C (ctcp)
  [ ] privilege system for privilege groups, something like
     in .conf: helper { kill_global, rehash, kline_local }
     in modules: privilege_add("kill_global"), has_privilege(source_p, "kill_global") etc, should work the way dynamic cflags/umodes done
[x] Remove glines entirely
[x] test suite as in ircu
[?] win32
 [?] cygwin support
 [?] mingw support
 [?] native win32 (VS2005/VS2008)
[/] Bug fixes
  [x] Compilation without zlib headers fails - fixed
  [ ] Compilation date and time in server welcome message is in OS locale - looks ugly 'cause often it's not match user's codepage
[ ] Improvments
  [ ] ircd shouldn't need bison/byacc/yacc or flex for compilation
--- other stuff
  [ ] allow to set up configfiles path (etc/) instead of separated configfiles names (kline.conf, ircd.conf etc) like it is in ratbox3?
  [?] internally split out +o/+v "ranks" into a series of permissions. this could allow for configure-defined 
      special access levels, halfops, etc. (would need to match globally, somehow. extra SVINFO param?)
  [?] somehow hide channel operators like ircnet can do?
  [x] create chmode.h and put there all declarations of chm_* - this will make some modules clean
[?] Move oper override server WALLOPS to global server notices?
