0.9.0pre1:
* FS: [CG]
  - test indexing
  - test migration
  - TTL/priority calculations
  - hot-path routing, load considerations
  - statistics
  - active reply route caching design & implementation of service; gap extension!
* TRANSPORT:
  - HTTP backend [MW]
* DV: [Nate]
  - write DV API (need to move declarations from dv_api.c to gnunet_dv_service.h!)
  - implement DV service 
  - implement DV library (looks done)
  - implement DV transport plugin
  - implement testcases 
  - implement performance tests (needs tbench)
* TOPOLOGY:
  - needs more testing (especially F2F topology) & transport blacklisting
* UTIL:
  - only connect() sockets that are ready (select()) [Nils]
    [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before doing connect etc.]
  - add support for UNIX domain sockets [CG]
* GNUNET-GTK:
  - write main loop: 
    + use g_main_context_set_poll_func to integrate GTK with GNUnet Scheduler!? (YUCK!)
    + OR: add scheduler API to enable integration with GTK main loop instead of doing our own select
    + use g_main_context_pending, g_main_context_query / g_main_context_check / g_main_context_dispatch
       and NEVER g_main_loop_run (can this be done? might be the clean way to do this! But how
       to integrate this with "gtk_main"?  Docu says:
       "It's OK to use the GLib main loop directly instead of gtk_main(), though it involves 
        slightly more typing. See GMainLoop in the GLib documentation."
       => so maybe it "just works"?

    + aborting active download
  - right-clicking on NS list in search dialog should open menu that allows 
    + viewing full meta data

            keyword remove, anonymity level, priority, index/insert, normalize keywords, 
            previews, preview widget for file chooser!?)

0.9.0pre2:
* TBENCH: [MW]
  - good to have for transport/DV evaluation! 
* DHT: [Nate]
  - implement DHT service 
  - implement testcases
  - implement performance tests
* ARM: [Safey]
  - better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
    debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
  - discover dependencies between services
    => need UNIX domain sockets first!
  - handle gnunet-arm -k in combination with auto-start magic (what is the right thing here?)
* FS: [CG]
  - datastore reservation (publishing)
  - location URIs (publish, search, download)
  - unindex on index failure
  - utilize in-line files in meta data always (including in search results or
    when download is triggered manually and for probes); currently the data is
    only used when users do a general 'recursive' download
  - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
    + DHT integration for search

  - implement download by URI dialog; figure out where to display those downloads!
  - figure out where in the GUI we should show active uploads/unindex operations and allow aborts
* SETUP:
  - design & implement new setup tool

0.9.0pre3:
* TRACEKIT: [MW]
  - good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
* Determine RC bugs and fix those!
* DATASTORE:
  - GNUNET_DATASTORE_cancel method not tested
* TESTING: [Nate]
  - modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
  - testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) 
  - testbed with churn 
  - implement testcases for distributed testing
  - test basic peer re-configure

    call continuation when done

* POSTGRES database backends: [CG]
  - datacache
  - datastore
* Determine RC bugs and fix those!

0.9.x:
* TRANSPORT: [MW]
  - SMTP transport backend
  - HTTPS transport backend
    + improved HTTPS support in MHD
    + actual plugin
  - Implement method of learning our external addresses from
    other peers; need some kind of threshold-based
    scheme, limiting both the total number of addresses that we accept 
    this way as well as requiring multiple confirmations; also, we
    should possibly try to confirm that the given address works for
    us ourselves (loopback-style) before adding it to the list
    + we may be able to simplify WELCOME messages (no need to add 
      addresses there anymore, but may help to learn them there anyway...).
    + we probably want some kind of voting/counting for learning IP addresses
      (maybe including IP addresses in ads proportional to how often others
       report them? we at least need some protection against >64k HELLOs!),
    + provide a way to give the user a list of "learned" IP addresses and
      a way to easily "veto" addresses off the list!
      => If MiM attacker uses vetoed address, blacklist the specific IP for
         the presumed neighbour!
  - implement gnunet-transport (transport configurator / tester)
  - UPnP-based IP detection
    (Note: build library always, build service when libxml2/etc. are available)
* FS: [CG]
  - Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
* PEERINFO: [CG]
  - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that 
    we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
    to track actual 'use')
  - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
* VPN



Optimizations:
* TCP:
  - should use hash map to look up sessions
* STATISTICS:
  - should use BIO instead of mmap
* TRANSPORT:
  - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
  - should use hash map to look up Neighbours (service AND plugins!)
* DATASTORE (?):
  - check for duplicates on insertion (currently, same content is frequently
    stored again [seen with KBLOCKS and SBLOCKS]!)
* PEERINFO:
  - merge multiple HELLOs of the same peer in the transmission queue
    (theoretically reduces overhead; bounds message queue size)
  - merge multiple iteration requests over "all" peers in the queue
    (theoretically reduces overhead; bounds messgae queue size)
* FS:
  - use different queue prioritization for probe-downloads vs. normal downloads (!?)

Minor features:
* TCP:
  - repeatedly resolve hostname and look up interfaces to determine our own IP
  - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used (related to issue above)
* TRANSPORT:
  - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used (related to TCP not refreshing external addresses?)
* BLOCKS:
  - testcase would be nice...
