-Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
-(unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
-away), in order in which they will likely be done:
-* TESTING-TESTBED [Nate]
-* SETUP
-* DV [Nate]
-* TBENCH
-* TRACEKIT
-* FRAGMENTATION [Ji Lu]
-* HTTP transport
-* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
-* UPNP [Milan]
-* ARM [Safey]
-
-Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* Get IPv6 hooked up, change DNS
-
-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)
-* TRANSPORT:
- - 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?)
- - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
- - hostlist testcase shows that (randomly) we jump to an address that
- seems to be a plugin function *after* the plugin has been unloaded
- (directly from scheduler); check that *all* plugin tasks are cancelled
- after plugin is unloaded! (need better testcases for that...)
-* STATISTICS:
- - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice;
- => provide notification-based API
- - 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!] [Safey]
-* HELLO:
- - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
-* TOPOLOGY:
- - needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
+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:
- - needs more testing
-* FS:
- - gnunet-search cannot be aborted using CTRL-C (why?)
- - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
-* Module features to implement:
- - advanced FS API parts
- + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
- + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
- + collection
- + location URIs (publish, search, download)
- + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
- + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
- + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
- + datastore reservation (publishing)
- + gnunet-publish (URI args)
- + gnunet-download (directory)
- + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
- + gnunet-download (many options)
- + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
- + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
- + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, stats, hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
- + datastore: do active migration support here?
- - implement adv. FS testcases
- + getopt API
- + insert: sblocks, loc uris
- + download: loc uris
- + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
- + namespaces
- + collection
- - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
+ - 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) [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...
+
+0.9.0pre3:
+* 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

-* 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:
+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]
+ - 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: [CG]
- should use BIO instead of mmap
-* PEERINFO:
+* 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
+* 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
+
+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
+* 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?)
+ - WiFi transport backend
+ * nice signal strength adjustment [MW]
+ * energy cost in ATS [MW]
+* BLOCKS:
+ - testcase would be nice
+ - generic block support for DHT
+* STATISTICS:
+ - test notification-based statistics API [LT]
+ - implement statistics GUI (=> start from gnunet-gtk by button!)

+ - 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
+
+0.9.3:
