-- connman_element removal
+- Session API implementation
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C8
+ Priority: High
+ Complexity: C4
+ Owner: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>
+ Owner: Patrik Flykt <patrik.flykt@linux.intel.com>
+ The session API should provide a connection abstraction in order to
+ prioritize applications network accesses, prevent or allow network
+ and bearer roaming, or provide applications with a way to request
+ for periodic network connections. On-demand connections will be
+ implemented through this API as well.
+ See http://www.mail-archive.com/connman@connman.net/msg01653.html
-- DHCP lib
- Priority: High
+- Personal firewall
+
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
- Owner: Martin Xu <martin.xu@intel.com>
+ Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>
+ Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
+ Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.
-- IPv6
- Priority: High
+- PACRunner extensions
+
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Dependencies: Core:DHCP Lib
- Owner: Martin Xu <martin.xu@intel.com>
+
+ Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
+ security integration.
-- On demand connection
+- Check logging produced by connman_info()
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ Complexity: C1
- With on demand connection applications get connectivity access
- simply by trying to reach the network. They don't need to
- specifically request for a service connection, but ConnMan
- establishes it on their behalf.
- This feature counter part is idle disconnect. ConnMan needs to be
- able to close the on demand established connections by monitoring
- the link activity. This requires kernel support with e.g. the
- netfilter IDLETIMER target.
+ Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages
+ and get rid of the unnecessary ones.
-- Avahi-zeroconf
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C4
+- Support for multiple agents
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C2
-- VPN service
+ Allow to register multiple agents. Each unique system bus name owner
+ however is only allowed to register one agent.
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
+ The selection of which agents is used should be matched by bus name
+ owner if possible or first come first serve. A graceful fallback to
+ the next agent should be also used in case of malfunctional agents.
- Create a service for every VPN and link it to the topmost one for
- now.
- The default route should be set accordingly when UIs move the
- topmost service up and down.
+- Remove --nobacktrace option
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
+ When: 2.0
-- OpenVPN
+ Remove the --nobacktrace option or change it to --backtrace depending on the
+ level of systemd integration or other factors.
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+- Clean up type definitions
-- VPNc
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+ Go through variable types and use the following:
+ * bool from <stdbool.h> instead of connman_bool_t and gboolean, in the
+ latter case in those places it makes sense
-- Tethering
+- Clean up data structure usage
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C8
- Owner: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
+ Complexity: C4
+
+ Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Replace GSequences with
+ simpler structures. At the same time do a check on the currently used
+ data structures and see if something can be simplified.
-- WPAD - Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol
+- Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
- Owner: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
+ Complexity: C4
+
+ Create unit tests for these components starting with DHCP. Use gtest
+ from GLib for this task similarly to what has been done for OBEX in Bluez
+ and oFono in general.
+
+WiFi
+====
-- Agent callbacks
+- Clean up WiFi data structure usage
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
+ Struct wifi_data is passed as a pointer in some of the wifi plugin
+ callbacks. For example removing a WiFi USB stick causes RTNL and
+ wpa_supplicant to call the wifi plugin at the same time causing the
+ freeing of the wifi data structure. Fix up the code to have proper
+ reference counting or other handling in place for the shared wifi data
+ and the members in the data structure.
-- HTTP proxy
+
+- EAP-AKA/SIM
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C1
+ Complexity: C2
+ Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ This EAP is needed for SIM card based network authentication.
+ ConnMan here plays a minor role: Once wpa_supplicant is set up for
+ starting and EAP-AKA/SIM authentication, it will talk to a SIM card
+ through its pcsc-lite API.
-- PAC export
+
+- EAP-FAST
Priority: Low
Complexity: C1
- Owner: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
-
- When receiving an automatic configuration URL, we should set the
- service proxy dictionary accordingly (method and URL).
-- Moving DNS proxy code to ConnMan core
+- WiFi p2p
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
- Supporting DNS proxy or resolv.conf direct editing seems more than
- plenty as far as resolving is concerned. So the idea is to move the
- dnsproxy plugin code to ConnMan core and have an additional command
- line option in case one would like to stick with the current
- resolver.c code for editing resolv.conf.
+- Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support
-WiFi
-====
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
+ Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>
-- WPS
+ Removing global country property setter in gsupplicant, and removing
+ wifi's technology set_regdom implementation. Removing autoscan fallback.
+ (Note: should be done around the end 2012)
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
- Dependencies: Core:Agent callbacks
+Bluetooth
+=========
+- Remove Bluez 4.x support
-- Ad-Hoc support
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
- Dependencies: Core:Avahi-zeroconf
+ Remove plugins/bluetooth-legacy.c support in about 6 month (July 2013) or
+ when Bluez 4.x usage becomes minimal.
+Cellular

+ Owner: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com>
-- Fast Connect
+- L2TP & PPTP compatibility prefix removal
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C4
- Dependencies: WiFi:libsupplicant
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
+ When: connman 2.0
-- TTLS EAP support
+ The VPN config file provisioning patchset contains code that makes
+ PPP options to be marked by "PPPD." prefix. The code supports also
+ old "L2TP." and "PPTP." prefix for PPP options. Remove the compatibility
+ code and only allow "PPPD." prefix for PPP options.
- Priority: Low
+Tools
+=====
+
+- Add Agent mode to connmanctl command line tool
+
+ Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
+ connmanctl should implement agent prompting when started with a suitable
+ command line option. Agent mode should also be enabled when in interactive
+ mode.
-Bluetooth

-- DUN client
+User Interface
+==============
+
+- GNOME3 UI
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
+ Owner: Alok Barsode <alok.barsode@linux.intel.com>
+
+ A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
+ users to use ConnMan.
