-Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
-(unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
-away), in order in which they will likely be done:
-* TESTING
-* FS (DHT not available)
-* SETUP
-* DV (distributed testing not available)
-* TBENCH (distributed testing not available)
-* TRACEKIT (distributed testing not available)
-* HTTP transport
-* FRAGMENTATION
-* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
-* UPNP
-
-Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
- - implement FS service
- + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
- also want to do pushing sometimes?)
- + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
- - implement testcases
- + URI API
- + getopt API
- + sharing API
- ~ file-information
- ~ publish (insert, index)
- ~ download
- ~ search
- ~ unindex
- + directory API
-* CORE:
- - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
- (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
- but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
- is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)
-* TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
- - implement library for local testing
- + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
- + CORE service does not start with valid peer ID (all zeros) -- testcase fails!
- + consider changing API for peer-group termination to call continuation when done
- - implement testcases for library
- + get test for basic peer start to work!
- + test basic peer connect
- + test group start
-* TEST:
- - topology (needs TESTING)
- - hostlist (maybe easier with TESTING?)
-* new webpage
- - prevent?
- - migrate Mantis!?
- - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
- - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
- - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
-=> Deploy(able) development network
-
-
-0.9.0pre0:
-* UTIL:
- - heap: "remove_node" can hardly be O(1) given the API, but it should be (!)
- - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
- - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
- (async peerinfo would not be right)
-* Module features to implement:

- + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
- + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- - setup (RC-pre0)
- + default generation

- (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
+0.9.1:
+* TRANSPORT: [MW]
+ - 'TransmitFunction' requires plugins to have "unbounded" queue (or at least
+ queue of size > 2), might be better to have at MOST one message pending
+ per plugin/target and only send the next one after the continuation was
+ called (or use 'notify_transmit_ready-style API?)
+ - WLAN transport backend [DB]
+ - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
+ (working ATS)
+* DV:
+ - proper bandwidth allocation
+ - performance tests
+* 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)
* STATISTICS:
- should use BIO instead of mmap
+* FS: [CG]
+ - Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
+ - use different queue prioritization for probe-downloads vs. normal downloads
+ - re-implement gnunet-auto-share
+ - implement 'GNUNET_FS_file_information_create_from_directory', avoiding
+ code duplication with gnunet-gtk's similar code (!)
+* GNUNET-GTK: [CG]
+ - add tool bar
+ - do meaningful update to status line (starting up, peer running, #connections, shutdown, ...)
+ - add progress dialog for 'add_dir_at_iter' scan (can take a while...)
+ - NS list in search dialog should use colors to offset our own namespaces from the others
+ - right-clicking on NS list in search dialog should open menu that allows
+ * viewing full meta data
+ * deletion of namespace info
+ - implement unindex operation (use dialog with all indexed files for selection)
+ - finish publish dialog details:
+ + normalize keywords (edit subdialog)
+ - implement download by URI dialog; figure out where to display those downloads!
+ - add combo box to select desired mime type for search
+* ARM: [CG]
+ - better tracking of which config changes actually need to cause process restarts by ARM.
+ - handle gnunet-arm -k in combination with auto-start magic (what is the right thing here?)
+ - discover dependencies between services
+
+0.9.2:
+* PEERINFO: [NN]
+ - 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
+* WLAN:
+ - nice signal strength adjustment [MW]
+ - energy cost in ATS [MW]
+* BLOCKS:
+ - testcase would be nice
+* STATISTICS:
+ - implement statistics GUI (=> start from gnunet-gtk by button!)
+* PEERINFO: [NN]
+ - move peerinfo to new GUI (=> start from gnunet-gtk by button!)
+ - extend peer dialog with green-yellow-red connectivity status lights
+ - extend peer dialog with country flags and names
+
+0.9.3:

+ - sending (SMTP/SMTPS)
+ - receiving (IMAP/IMAPS/POP?)
+ - rate limiting
+ - improved batching
+ - resource limit integration with ATS
+* VPN
+ - "DNS" .gnunet [MW]
