+### misc
+
+- create the unix socket directory
+- close the connection and log when we receive too big messages
+- decide then explicitely document what the max message size should be
+- rx message buffer should be small but should grow if required
+- some functions are not exposed in the bindings, mostly functions related to switching
+
+### makefile
+
+- release
+- distribution
+
+### documentation
+
+- document the two ways to use LibIPC: either within some Zig code or through the bindings
+- manpages for ipcd, tcpd, pong, pongd
+
+### src/exchange-fd.zig
+
+- still very WIP, even though it works as expected
+- recvmsg is a very *stupid* copy of the sendmsg fn, **EXPECT ERRORS** (if used outside libipc)
+- at least one memory error when using Cmsghdr (see below)
