-0.9.0pre2:
- FS:
- - measure latencies (core, datastore) => trust economy
- - FS performance benchmarking
- - integrate with DHT (need DHT API to fit block API better first; also, get rid of the continuation!)
-* DHT: [Nate]
- - use new block lib in service
- - provide block-lib compatible API in gnunet_dht_service.h
- - eliminate continuations in DHT API (not needed, we have auto-retransmit!)
-* CORE:
- - authentication of ciphertexts [Nils]
- - Jun 27 11:51:54 core-7670 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-core.c:3616.
- (transport notified us that we connected to ourselves!!!)
- - 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) [CG]
- => may have been fixed with instant-notification of disconnect
- to core on session-oriented connection hick-up; not perfect but
- likely good enough until we get ATS going; still should be tested...
- => "peers connected (transport)" now instantly goes to ZERO (core statistic),
- but "established sessions" stays up...
-* UTIL:
- - drop dependency on GMP? [Nils]
-
0.9.0pre3:
-* Determine RC bugs and fix those (release should have no known real bugs)
-* DATASTORE: [LT]
- - GNUNET_DATASTORE_cancel method not tested [LT]
-* TESTING: [Nate]
- - test basic peer re-configure
-* TOPOLOGY: [Nate]

-* NAT/UPNP: [Milan]
- - finalize API design
- - code clean up
- - testing
- - integration with transport service
- - also do UPnP-based (external) IP detection
- (Note: build library always, build UPnP service when dependencies like libxml2 are available)
-* FS: [CG]
- - library:
- + reconstruct IBLOCKS from DBLOCKS if possible (during download; see FIXME in fs_download)
- + add support for pushing "already seen" search results to FS service for bloomfilter
- + use different 'priority' for probe downloads vs. normal downloads
- - service:
- + trust: do not charge when "idle" / load considerations (migration, routing)
- + artificial delays
- + active reply route caching design & implementation; gap extension!
- - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
- + DHT integration for search
- + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
- + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- - implement FS performance tests
+* clean buildbots

+ + publish error
+* FS [CG]
+ - implement multi-peer FS performance tests + gauger them!
+ insert
+ download
+ search
- + unindex
- - re-implement gnunet-auto-share
-* GNUNET-GTK:
- - optimize meta-data for directories in 'add_dir_at_iter'
- - finish publish dialog details:
- + normalize keywords (edit subdialog)
- + set/view previews (edit subdialog)
- - 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
- - implement unindex operation (use dialog with all indexed files for selection)
- - events:
- + search error
- + publish error
- + unindex error
-* ARM: [CG/Safey]
- - 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
-* MONKEY: [Safey]
- - better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
- debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
- - '-m EMAIL' option for alternative e-mail TO
- - '-f FILENAME' option to write report to file instead of e-mail (for testing!)
0.9.0:
+* new webpage:
+ - 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)

- - good to have for DHT evaluation!
-* DHT: [Nate]
- - performance tests
-* BLOCK:
- - more testing (KBlock, SBlock, NBlock)
0.9.1:
* TRANSPORT: [MW]
- - WiFi transport backend [DB]
- - implement gnunet-transport (transport configurator / tester)
- - 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!
- - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
- - should use hash map to look up Neighbours (service AND plugins!)
-* DV: [Nate]
+ - '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)
+* DATASTORE: [CG]
+ - check indexes / SQL for performance
+* DV:
- proper bandwidth allocation
- performance tests
* PEERINFO:
(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: [CG]
+* 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
-* UTIL: [CG]
- - allow limiting UNIX socket access by UID/GID
+ - 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, ...)
- 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]

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
-* TCP:
+* NAT:
- 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?)
