Raiden is always adding really nice ideas to their FTPd they are just poorly implemented, its a shame really. =(

Moving to httpd doesn't take resources off the ftpd developement. Current httpd code is ~1200lines & took less than a week to write and optimize (prior version of httpd took much longer to do, as it had stream mime parser - which I learnt later on, isn't even a task that httpd should do => and which resulted to the rewrite). What I did spend some time on, was php module. However, it was done so, that it's possible to use it in the future with both ftp & telnet.
In the future, just like in the past, I will not focus primarily on adding features. ioFTPD wasn't ever designed to include all the whistles & bells - I think you all should know it by now.
Yes, there's several good things in raiden that are currently missing from io. First few that come to my mind are: Database (ODBC) support, NT service support, Unicode support, MLST.
However, I do have to set certain priorities for tasks. It makes no sense to add database support, before I've added dynamic user/groupfiles & unicode support. (with dynamic user/groupfile, I mean that it has database entry where modules can store data) And again, there is no point of adding dynamic user/group structures before unicode support is in. Which leads to why I'm writing the new core now: imo there was no point of rewriting socket readline function (~150lines) for the old core to support utf-8. (Point of rewriting is to make something better, not to make something bloated)
