-0.9.0pre1:
-* FS: [CG]
- - SKS update searches should be attached to individual search results, not to the
- entire SKS search (!)
- => API change (event signalling) & serialization change (!)
- => update search results should be stored in different result directory due
- to possibility of naming conflicts!
- => outch: ditto for recursive downloads (!)
- - persistence testing (publish, unindex, search, download):
- => need driver!
- => schedule suspending tasks DURING event handler => good coverage!
- => test SUSPEND events
- - gnunet-service-fs (hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:208]: member 'LocalGetContext::results_bf_size' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:501]: member 'PendingRequest::used_pids_size' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:654]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_client_replies' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:669]: member 'ConnectedPeer::avg_delay' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:675]: member 'ConnectedPeer::avg_priority' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:688]: member 'ConnectedPeer::pending_requests' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:694]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_p2p_replies_woff' is never used
- - [gnunet-service-fs.c:700]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_client_replies_woff' is never used
- - GAP improvements:
- + active reply route caching design & implementation of service; gap extension!
-* MIGRATION [CG]
- - on-demand encoding => move logic to block-library!?
- - peer selection => how to consider latency/bw/etc?
- - content transmission => how often the same block?
- - how to select delay before next migration?
- - migration to us
- - testing
- - integrate with FS or not? (peer list, index/on-demand encoding, block code,
- inbound priority assignment; all would be easier with tight integration!)
-* TBENCH: [MW]
- - good to have for transport/DV evaluation!
-* 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.]
-* GNUNET-GTK:
- - 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"?
-* SETUP:
- - design & implement new setup tool
+0.9.0pre3:
+* connections fail if transport-plugin/nat produces
+ some addresses that don't work (enable 'use_localaddr' with bindto for example,
+ so that some of the 'local' IPs do not work due to the bindto); the result
+ seems to be that the plugin tries some of the broken addresses, fails and the
+ transport-level connection never comes up.
+ [still an issue?]
+* transport:
+ - explicit CONNECT: add timestamp
+ - explicit DISCONNECT: add signature
+* clean buildbots
-0.9.0pre2:
-* TRACEKIT: [MW]
- - good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
-* DHT: [Nate]
- - implement DHT service
- - implement testcases
- - implement performance tests
-* TRANSPORT:
- - HTTP backend [MW]
-* ARM: [Safey]
- - 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?
-* FS: [CG]
- - datastore reservation (publishing)
- - location URIs (publish, search, download)
- - 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
- + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
- + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- - collection API & tests
- + gnunet-pseudonym (collection support)
- - implement FS performance tests
+0.9.0pre4:
+* GNUNET-GTK: [CG]
+ - figure out where in the GUI we should show active upload operations and allow aborts
+ - handle events:
+ + search error
+ + publish error
+* NAT:
+ - support HOSTNAME given for external-IP address (dyndns!)
+* FS [CG]
+ - implement multi-peer FS performance tests + gauger them!
+ insert
+ download
+ search
- + unindex
-* MIGRATION:
- - improved content selection (not just 'get_random')
-
-0.9.0pre3:
-* Determine RC bugs and fix those!
-* TESTING: [Nate]

- - code clean up
- - testing
- - integration with transport service
-* MYSQL database backends: [CG]
- - datacache

0.9.0:
* new webpage:
- - expand bibliography
- - convert documentation pages to books
- - update books (especially for developers)
- - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
- - make a NICE download page and figure out how to enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
- - port "contact" page
- - add content type for "todo" items?
-* POSTGRES database backends: [CG]
- - datacache
- - datastore
-* Determine RC bugs and fix those!
+ - write chapter on DHT/block [Nate]
+ - make a NICE download page
+* big code review
+* Determine RC bugs and fix those (release should have no known real bugs)
-0.9.x:
+0.9.1:
* 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)
+ - '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)
-* PEERINFO: [CG]
+ - 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
-* VPN
-
-
-
-Optimizations:
-* TCP:
- - should use hash map to look up sessions
+* WLAN:
+ - nice signal strength adjustment [MW]
+ - energy cost in ATS [MW]
+* BLOCKS:
+ - testcase would be nice
* 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 (!?)
+ - 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
-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...
+0.9.3:
+* SMTP transport backend:
+ - sending (SMTP/SMTPS)
+ - receiving (IMAP/IMAPS/POP?)
+ - rate limiting
+ - improved batching
+ - resource limit integration with ATS
+* VPN
+ - "DNS" .gnunet [MW]
+* MESH:
+ - optimized routes (beyond DHT/DV)
