+* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
* UPNP [Milan]
+* ARM [Safey]
+* FS [Christian]
-Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* UTIL:
- - provide higher-level convenience API for servers/services that
- need to send a stream of notifications to clients; instead
- of having each service queue messages and "send when ready",
- simply have a way to add a client to the notification set
- and to 'notify client' or 'notify all clients'
- (useful for peerinfo (new hellos), transport (our hello; blacklist),
- core (misc monitoring features), statistics (change notifications)
- and likely others)
- - server/service API change for ARM inetd'ing
- (listen as well as support for start with multiple, already
- bound & listening sockets!)
+0.9.0pre0:
* TRANSPORT:
- - main service not implemented [Nate]
- - blacklist not implemented [Christian]
- - testcases crash & burn (no surprise)
+ - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
+ Need a way for plugin to tell to service that it can *reliably* transmit
+ PONGs. Need *good* way to ensure only one (plugin) session is active at
+ any given point in time; need systematic way to periodically probe latency/
+ transport cost changes
+ - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
+ them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
+ - implement transport API to pretty-print transport address
+ + resolve cyclic dependency (gnunet-peerinfo -> transport_api -> peerinfo!)
+ + gnunet-transport-service crashes when asked to resolve address (!)
+ + asynchronous transport lookup and non-CPS iterator in peerinfo require
+ some work to ensure printing in the proper order...
+ - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
+ are *equal* to our own address + port (i.e., localhost:2086). We
+ no longer filter those for outgoing (helps with loopback testing
+ and keeps the code clean), but we should filter strictly *impossible*
+ incoming addresses! This is for efficiency, not correctness.
+ - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used
+ - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used
* CORE:
- - request disconnect not implemented [Christian]
- - various notification options not implemented [Christian]
- - test currently fails spectacularly [segv of transport service]
- => need transport to work first!
- - request connect not working [Christian, need transport first]
-* PEERINFO:
- - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
-* TOPOLOGY:
- - needs testing [need transport first]
-* TESTING:
- - check that 'GNUNET_TRANSPORT_get_hello' is associated with
- a cancel request wherever appropriate (other testcases
- in particular!) [Christian]
-* HOSTLIST:
- - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
- connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
- messages successfully via transport) [need transport first]
-* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
- - implement FS service (P2P operations)
- + 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
- - test multi-peer search/download
-* new webpage
- - 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:
- - 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)
- - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
-* STATISTICS:
- - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
- - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
-* ARM:
- - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
- [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
+ - SET_KEY is triggered every 2.5 minutes (after session is up); should
+ just do PING (not SET_KEY + PING)
+ - "Forcing disconnect of XXX due to inactivity" -- can happen every few MS!?
+ (disconnect does not really succeed, or what?)
* HELLO:
- need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
-* CORE:
- - outbound message monitoring not supported
-* Module features to implement:
+* FS:
+ - GAP improvements:
+ + active reply route caching design & implementation of service,
+ gap extension!
+ - gnunet-publish cannot be aborted using CTRL-C
+ - on some systems, keyword search does not find locally published content
+ (need testcase of command-line tools!)
+ - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
- advanced FS API parts
+ namespaces: fundamental namespace API
+ search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results

0.9.0pre1:
* Module features to implement:
+ implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
+ implement testcases [Nate]
+ implement performance tests [Nate]
+* SETUP:
+ - design & implement new setup tool
* GUIs to implement:
- gtk (RC-pre1)
+ how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
+* HOSTLIST:
+ - 'server' uses 'GNUNET_PEERINFO_iterate', should probably switch to notification API
+ (for more instant / up-to-date hostlists at lower cost) [OPTIMIZATION]
+* STATISTICS:
+ - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
+* UTIL:
+ - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
+ (async peerinfo would not be right)
+ - scheduler should change OS process priority based on task priority;
+ should make better use of task priorities in general
+ - only connect() sockets that are ready (select()) [Nils]
+ [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before
+ doing connect etc.]
+* DATACACHE:
+ - add stats (# bytes available, # bytes used, # PUTs, # GETs, # GETs satisfied)
+* FS:
+ - persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
+ - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
+ + basic DHT integration
+ + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
+ + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
+ - active migration support (in fs or in datastore?)
+* TOPOLOGY:
+ - needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
+ - needs to re-try connecting after disconnect (currently, it
+ initially triggers a connection request, but if that connection
+ fails / goes down, it does not retry in a timely fashion;
+ cause seems to be the 'blacklist_after_attempt' being set to 1h,
+ which is rather long -- and should probably be adjusted based on
+ the number of connections / known peers)
+ - If the topology daemon crashes, peers that were put on the
+ blacklist with transport will never be removed from it (until
+ transport service dies); we should use the blacklist notification
+ API to learn about the exact set of blacklisted peers at all times
+ (FIXME: the transport_api implementation of blacklisting
+ also does not work nicely for this since it won't let us know about
+ disconnect-reconnect events and the implicit whitelisting
+ that might happen here; that's not so bad since we will
+ re-blacklist on pre-connect attempts anyway, so this is
+ a minor issue).
+ - the code uses the term 'blacklist' for both peers that are forbidden
+ to connect (i.e. F2F mode) as well as peers that we currently
+ won't try to actively connect to ourselves (since we just tried);
+ This is confusing. We need two distinct terms.
+ - move code to use hash table instead of linked list
+ - instead of periodically discarding blacklisted entries,
+ simply add task that is triggered at the right time (earlier free,
+ more balanced load)
+ - check if new HELLO learned is different from old HELLO
+ before resetting entire state!
0.9.0pre2:
* Module features to implement:
+ Fragmentation library
+ actual plugin
- HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
+* ARM:
+ - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
+ [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
+ - better tracking of which config changes actually need to cause process restarts by ARM.
+ - listen for requests to discover dependencies between services (and avoid
+ having to explicitly program start requests)
+ - better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
+ debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
+ - shutdown sequence?
+
0.9.0pre3:
* GUIs to implement:
- qt (RC-pre3)
+ see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
* Determine RC bugs and fix those!
+* TESTING:
+ - modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
+ - testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
+ - testbed with churn [Nate]
+ - implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
+ - test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
+ - test topology creation [Nate]
+ - test churn generation [Nate]
+ - consider changing API for peer-group termination to
+ call continuation when done
+
0.9.0:
* Documentation
0.9.x:
-* Plugins to implement:
+* TRANSPORT:
- SMTP transport backend
- HTTPS transport backend
+ improved HTTPS support in MHD
+ actual plugin
-* Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
-* Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
- (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
+ - 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:
+ - Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
+ - Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
+ (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
* STATISTICS:
- should use BIO instead of mmap
+* PEERINFO:
+ - 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
