-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]

-0.9.0pre0:
+0.9.0pre1:
+* FS: [CG]
+ - test indexing
+ - test migration
+ - TTL/priority calculations
+ - hot-path routing, load considerations
+ - statistics
+ - active reply route caching design & implementation of service; gap extension!
* TRANSPORT:
- - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
- Need a way for plugin to tell to service that it can *reliably* transmit
- PONGs. Need *good* way to ensure only one (plugin) session is active at
- any given point in time; need systematic way to periodically probe latency/
- transport cost changes
- - 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?)
- - implement transport API to pretty-print transport address
- + resolve cyclic dependency (gnunet-peerinfo -> transport_api -> peerinfo!)
- + gnunet-transport-service crashes when asked to resolve address (!)
- + asynchronous transport lookup and non-CPS iterator in peerinfo require
- some work to ensure printing in the proper order...
- - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
- are *equal* to our own address + port (i.e., localhost:2086). We
- no longer filter those for outgoing (helps with loopback testing
- and keeps the code clean), but we should filter strictly *impossible*
- incoming addresses! This is for efficiency, not correctness.
- - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used
- - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used
-* CORE:
- - SET_KEY is triggered every 2.5 minutes (after session is up); should
- just do PING (not SET_KEY + PING)
- - "Forcing disconnect of XXX due to inactivity" -- can happen every few MS!?
- (disconnect does not really succeed, or what?)
-* HELLO:
- - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
-* FS:
- - GAP improvements:
- + active reply route caching design & implementation of service,
- gap extension!
- - gnunet-publish cannot be aborted using CTRL-C
- - on some systems, keyword search does not find locally published content
- (need testcase of command-line tools!)
- - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
- - advanced FS API parts
- + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
- + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
- + collection
- + location URIs (publish, search, download)
- + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
- + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
- + datastore reservation (publishing)

- + getopt API
- + insert: sblocks, loc uris
- + download: loc uris
- + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
- + namespaces
- + collection
+ - HTTP backend [MW]
+* DV: [Nate]

+ - 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.]
+ - add support for UNIX domain sockets [CG]
+* GNUNET-GTK:
+ - write main loop:
+ + 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"?
+ - implement glade loader
+ - implement main quit handler (file-quit and main window close)
+ - implement about menu handler
+ - add license to about dialog
+ - add authors to about dialog
+ - add translators to about dialog
+ - add documenters to about dialog
+ - add artists to about dialog
+ - test logo in about dialog
+ - test logo in main dialog (window icon)
+ - implement search dialog opening and actual search
+ - NS list in search dialog should use colors to offset our own namespaces from the others
+ - double-clicking on NS list in search dialog should move 'root' to keyword line
+ - double-clicking on search result in master list should open save-as dialog for CHK/LOC URIs
+ - right-clicking on search result should open menu that allows:
+ + viewing full meta data
+ + starting download
+ + starting recursive download
+ + aborting active download
+ - right-clicking on NS list in search dialog should open menu that allows
+ + viewing full meta data
+ + deletion of namespace info
+ - master should add tab to main notebook with label with 'new' icon that allows starting of a search (same as via menu)
+ - tabs in notebook should contain:
+ + "X" to allow closing of tabs
+ + "play" to allow resuming of search OR "pause" to allow pausing of search
+ - implement open directory dialog
+ - implement new-pseudonym dialog
+ - implement publish dialog
+ + add (single file)
+ + edit (meta data add, meta data del, meta data type population, keyword add (button, activate entry line),
+ keyword remove, anonymity level, priority, index/insert, normalize keywords,
+ previews, preview widget for file chooser!?)
+ + mark 'insert file' button inconsistent for directories
+ + up
+ + down
+ + left
+ + right
+ + delete
+ + open (import directory structure)
+ + cancel
+ + execute (publish)
+ - pick appropriate sort-by columns for various tree view columns
+ - anonymity spin buttons should turn red on zero:

+ + publish
+ + download
+

+ - good to have for transport/DV evaluation!
+* DHT: [Nate]
+ - implement DHT service
+ - implement testcases
+ - implement performance tests
+* ARM: [Safey]
+ - better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
+ debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
+ - discover dependencies between services
+ => need UNIX domain sockets first!
+ - handle gnunet-arm -k in combination with auto-start magic (what is the right thing here?)
+* 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
+ - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
+ + DHT integration for search
+ + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
+ + P2P-functions (DHT-get)

-
-0.9.0pre1:
-* Module features to implement:
- - tbench (RC-pre1)
- + good to have for DV evaluation!
- - DV (RC-pre1)
- + write DV API
- + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
- + implement DV library [Nate]
- + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
- + implement testcases [Nate]
- + implement performance tests [Nate]
+* GNUNET-GTK:
+ - handle view-metadata toggle
+ - handle view-preview toggle
+ - 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)
+ - handle view-neighbours toggle
+ - extend peer dialog with green-yellow-red connectivity status lights
+ - implement statistics tabs
+ - handle view-statistics toggle
+ - do meaningful update to status line (starting up, peer running, #connections, shutdown, ...)
+ - implement unindex operation (use dialog with all indexed files for selection)
+ - 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
* SETUP:
- design & implement new setup tool
-* GUIs to implement:
- - gtk (RC-pre1)
- + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
-* HOSTLIST:
- - 'server' uses 'GNUNET_PEERINFO_iterate', should probably switch to notification API
- (for more instant / up-to-date hostlists at lower cost) [OPTIMIZATION]
-* STATISTICS:
- - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
-* UTIL:
- - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
- (async peerinfo would not be right)
- - scheduler should change OS process priority based on task priority;
- should make better use of task priorities in general
- - only connect() sockets that are ready (select()) [Nils]
- [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before
- doing connect etc.]
-* DATACACHE:
- - add stats (# bytes available, # bytes used, # PUTs, # GETs, # GETs satisfied)
-* FS:
- - persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
- - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
- + basic DHT integration
- + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
- + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- - active migration support (in fs or in datastore?)
-* TOPOLOGY:
- - needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
- - needs to re-try connecting after disconnect (currently, it
- initially triggers a connection request, but if that connection
- fails / goes down, it does not retry in a timely fashion;
- cause seems to be the 'blacklist_after_attempt' being set to 1h,
- which is rather long -- and should probably be adjusted based on
- the number of connections / known peers)
- - If the topology daemon crashes, peers that were put on the
- blacklist with transport will never be removed from it (until
- transport service dies); we should use the blacklist notification
- API to learn about the exact set of blacklisted peers at all times
- (FIXME: the transport_api implementation of blacklisting
- also does not work nicely for this since it won't let us know about
- disconnect-reconnect events and the implicit whitelisting
- that might happen here; that's not so bad since we will
- re-blacklist on pre-connect attempts anyway, so this is
- a minor issue).
- - the code uses the term 'blacklist' for both peers that are forbidden
- to connect (i.e. F2F mode) as well as peers that we currently
- won't try to actively connect to ourselves (since we just tried);
- This is confusing. We need two distinct terms.
- - move code to use hash table instead of linked list
- - instead of periodically discarding blacklisted entries,
- simply add task that is triggered at the right time (earlier free,
- more balanced load)
- - check if new HELLO learned is different from old HELLO
- before resetting entire state!

- - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
-* 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]
- - 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?

+* TRANSPORT: [MW]
- SMTP transport backend
- HTTPS transport backend
+ improved HTTPS support in MHD
- implement gnunet-transport (transport configurator / tester)
- UPnP-based IP detection
(Note: build library always, build service when libxml2/etc. are available)
-* FS:
+* FS: [CG]
- Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
- - 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:
- - should use BIO instead of mmap
-* PEERINFO:
+* PEERINFO: [CG]
- 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
+* 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)

+* 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...
