- 0.0.9pre4:
- o Don't use FascistFirewall if you're going via Tor, or if
- you're going via HttpProxy.
- o make RecommendedVersions a CONFIG_TYPE_LINELIST option
- o node 'groups' that are known to be in the same zone of control.

- o If A lists B, it only counts if B also lists A
- o Users can list other coadministrated nodes if they like.
- o Never choose two coadministrated nodes in the same circuit.
- o let tor servers use proxies for port 80 exits
- o Use generic port redirector for IP/bits:Port->IP:Port .
- o Make use of them when we're doing exit connections.
- X We should set things in options to NULL, not rely on memset(...0)
- being equivalent.
- o We should check for memset(0) setting things to NULL with
- autoconf, and then rely on it in the code.

- more features, complex:

- no longer where you look.
- o clean up router parsing flow, since it's simpler now?
- o when checking signature on a directory, look it up in
- options.TrustedDirs, and make sure there's a descriptor
- with that nickname, whose key hashes to the fingerprint,
- and who correctly signed the directory.
- o when fetching a directory, if you want a trusted one,

-* roger will do the above

- - round detected bandwidth up to nearest 10KB?
- - client software not upload descriptor until:
- - you've been running for an hour

Other details and small and hard things:
- - tor should be able to have a pool of outgoing IP addresses
- that it is able to rotate through. (maybe)
- - tie into squid
- - hidserv offerers shouldn't need to define a SocksPort
-* figure out what breaks for this, and do it.
- - when the client fails to pick an intro point for a hidserv,
- it should refetch the hidserv desc.
- . should maybe make clients exit(1) when bad things happen?
- e.g. clock skew.
- - should retry exitpolicy end streams even if the end cell didn't
- resolve the address for you
- . Make logs handle it better when writing to them fails.
- o Dirserver shouldn't put you in running-routers list if you haven't
- uploaded a descriptor recently
- . Refactor: add own routerinfo to routerlist. Right now, only
- router_get_by_nickname knows about 'this router', as a hack to
- get circuit_launch_new to do the right thing.
- . Scrubbing proxies
- - Find an smtp proxy?
- . Get socks4a support into Mozilla
- - Need a relay teardown cell, separate from one-way ends.
- - Make it harder to circumvent bandwidth caps: look at number of bytes
- sent across sockets, not number sent inside TLS stream.
- - fix router_get_by_* functions so they can get ourselves too,
- and audit everything to make sure rend and intro points are
- just as likely to be us as not.
