-* TRANSPORT:
- - HTTP backend [MW]
-* CORE:
- - derived key generation [Nils]
-* UTIL:
- - only connect() sockets that are ready (select()) [Nils]
- [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before doing connect etc.]
-* BUGS:
- Jun 27 11:51:54 core-7670 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-core.c:3616.
- (transport notified us that we connected to ourselves!!!)

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:
+ - derived key generation [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)
- - 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)
-* STATISTICS:
- - implement notification-based statistics API
-* PEERINFO [CG]
- - better API for trust management
-* TOPOLOGY:
+ (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...

+0.9.1:
* TRANSPORT: [MW]
- - SMTP transport backend
- - HTTPS transport backend
- + improved HTTPS support in MHD
- + actual plugin
+ - 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
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: [CG]
- - Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
-* PEERINFO: [CG]
- - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that

-
-Optimizations:
-* TCP:
- - should use hash map to look up sessions
-* 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!)
-* PEERINFO:
+* DV: [Nate]
+ - 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)
-* FS:
- - use different queue prioritization for probe-downloads vs. normal downloads (!?)
+* STATISTICS: [CG]
+ - should use BIO instead of mmap
