-0.9.0pre1:
-* FS: [CG]
- - persistence testing (unindex, search):
- * unindex:
- + need to clean up state on stop/suspend (including file-hashing => util API change!)
- * search:
- + file-opening / dir-reading / naming issues (but testcase passes!?)
- - 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: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
-
0.9.0pre2:
-* TRACEKIT: [MW]
- - good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
+ 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]
- - 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?
+ - 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]
+ - 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]

+ - 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]
- - datastore reservation (publishing)
- - location URIs (publish, search, download)
- - unindex on index failure
- - 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
+ - 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)

+ - 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?)

- - 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)

-
-
-
-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!)
-* DATASTORE (?):
- - check for duplicates on insertion (currently, same content is frequently
- stored again [seen with KBLOCKS and SBLOCKS]!)
-* 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 (!?)

+ * viewing full meta data
+ * deletion of namespace info
-Minor features:
+0.9.2:

+ 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?)
