-0.9.0pre1:
-* FS: [CG]
- - TTL/priority calculations

- - 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:
- - directory support:
- + download start: recursive/directory (!) & from-URI only
- + handle download lost-parent (move to 'from-URI only' tab)
- + display content of directory
- + open directory
+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:
-* CORE:
- - transport-level disconnect (i.e. TCP) does not cause core-level
- disconnect in a timely fashion (waits for connection timeout);
- need to figure a way to make it near-instant in those cases
- (i.e. rapid reduction in timeout on transport-level disconnect)
- - encrypted P2P transmission (loopback) tops at 2 MB/s on my quad-core;
- why is it so slow? Fix! (see core_api_reliability test)
- - implement API to get notifications about bandwidth assignments to individual peers
- - implement API to get notifications about updates to liveness of individual peers (before disconnect)

- + save-as gnunet-directory
- - events:
- + search resume
- + search error
- + download error
- + download resume
- + publish resume
- + publish error
- - implement open directory dialog
- - implement new-pseudonym dialog
- - namespace search
- - NS list in search dialog should use colors to offset our own namespaces from the others

-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)
