    35 19: gethostbyname on win32 
    36 -------------------------- 
    37 net6 should use gethostbyname instead of getaddrinfo for the win32  
    38 implementation because getaddrinfo seem only to exist in Windows XP's  
    39 version of ws2_32.dll. 
    4027 
    412824: Bug: User attribution copied when using copy & paste 
     
    6754application).

    69 21: Provide some means of authentication 
    70 ---------------------------------------- 
    71 ''libobby'' should provide some means of authentication. There should be  
    72 several possibilities of authentication schemes (maybe this ticket should  
    73 be splitted when they are getting implemented one-by-one): 
    74  
    75  * If a user logs in the first time since the host restarted a password  
    76 specified by the user will be set on the server with which it could  
    77 authenticate itself after a connection loss. 
    78  * A simple global password is need to login into a server, known to all  
    79 users of it. 
    80  * The server checks a user/password combination against a user database,  
    81 useful for dedicated private ''obby'' servers. 
    82  * Single documents could be get some kind of password or access control  
    83 list protection, but #10 has to be implemented first. 
    84  
    855625: A flag specifing if a document has changed 
    8657---------------------------------------------- 
     
    10071when loading one from a file. 
    10172 
    102 16: Error code transmission 
    103 --------------------------- 
    104 We should transmit error codes instead of error strings in net6. The client  
    105 may build a (localised, see #14) string out of it. 
    106  
    1077322: Repaint of user colour incorrect 
    10874------------------------------------ 
     
    11682Chat messages of others should be highlighted if the own nickname is  
    11783mentioned in them. 
    118  
    119 8: Flags for obby::user 
    120 ----------------------- 
    121 Extend obby::user with a 'flags' field. The idea behind is to introduce a  
    122 flag like obby::user::connected which specifies if this user is currently  
    123 connected to the obby session. We would not need the user_table classes any  
    124 longer and resolve the confusion of obby::user vs. obby::user_table::user. 
    125  
    126 However, this feature _is_ dangerous because many code would have to be  
    127 adjusted to ignore non-connected user. Maybe we can provide two iterators:  
    128 user_iterator and connected_user_iterator or something. Or  
    129 user_iterator::step(user::flags). 
    130  
    131 We should think and discuss about this before doing anything. 
    132  
    133 10: Syncronise documents on request 
    134 ----------------------------------- 
    135 Currently, all documents are synced to incoming clients. Having large  
    136 and/or many documents, this causes much network traffic even if a user just  
    137 wants to edit one of these documents. 
    138  
    139 The idea is to send just a document list on connection. Users can subscribe  
    140 and unsubscribe to documents which means that the document content is  
    141 synced and they can edit the documents collaboratively until they  
    142 unsubscribe. 
    143  
    144 create_document should subscribe the creating user automatically. 
    145  
    146 Of course, Gobby also needs many adjustments to support this feature.

    1488512: Multiple user lists 
     
    15895selected document 
    15996 
    160 14: Translate failure messages with gettext 
    161 ------------------------------------------- 
    162 The failure messages issued by net6 should be localised and translated with  
    163 gettext. 
    164  
    165 20: Session serialisation 
    166 ------------------------- 
    167 When multiple persons are editing a document the situation that one  
    168 (perhaps the host) has to leave is quite common. ''libobby'' should support  
    169 some kind of session serialisation while preserving the history (and thus  
    170 the attribution of each character to the corresponding user) so that it  
    171 could be easily resumed. Probably (possibly compressed) XML should be used  
    172 to serialise a tree of objects. The following features should be  
    173 implemented: 
    174  
    175  * Load/save documents to/from file and/or memory (while preserving  
    176 history) 
    177  * Load/save complete obby session 
    178  
    1799723: Auto indentation
