Core
====
-- Session API implementation
+- Personal firewall
+
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C8
+
+ Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
+ Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.
+
- Priority: High
+- PACRunner extensions
+
+ Priority: Low
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
+ Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
+ security integration.
+
+- Check logging produced by connman_info()
-- main.conf FallbackTimeservers, FallbackNameservers
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
- Owner:
+ Complexity: C1
- Both entries should take a string list as arguments and can contain
- mixed combination of fully qualified domain names, IPv4 and IPv6
- addresses. In absence of main.conf or if this entry is not present
- then no fallback servers are used. These configuration file values
- will obsolete plugins/meego.c and plugins/google.c.
- See http://lists.connman.net/pipermail/connman/2012-March/008605.html
+ Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages
+ and get rid of the unnecessary ones.
-- Personal firewall
+- Remove --nobacktrace option
+
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
+ When: 2.0
+
+ Remove the --nobacktrace option or change it to --backtrace depending on
+ the level of systemd integration or other factors.
+
+
+- Clean up data structure usage
+
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C4
+
+ Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Check on the currently used
+ data structures and see if something can be simplified.
+
+
+- Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP
Priority: Low
- Complexity: C8
- Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>
+ Complexity: C4
- Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
- Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.
+ 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.
-- PACRunner extensions
+- Support other time sources than NTP
Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C2
+
+ Support other time sources like cellular, GPS in addition to NTP.
+
+
+- Get interface names from src/device.c
+
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C2
+
+ Instead of using ioctls in connman_inet_ifindex and connman_inet_ifname,
+ utilize the information already provided by netlink in src/device.c.
+
+
+- Support D-Bus ObjectManager
+
+ Priority: Medium
Complexity: C4
- Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
- security integration.
+ Support D-Bus ObjectManager by using functionality already present in
+ ./gdbus. Method calls and signals are already registered with gdbus, but
+ properties and replies especially in Agent are still handled with plain
+ dbus library function calls.
+
+ With this, Manager API is removed, and a WiFi P2P API based on
+ ObjectManager common to Linux desktops can be implemented.
+
+
+Tethering
+=========
+
+- Verify if bridge has been correctly created and configured
+
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
+ When enabling tethering check if there was any error while creating and
+ configuring the bridge before continue. It has been done only for WiFi
+ technology, for other tethering technologies it should be evaluated
+ and implemented in case it is advantageous.
WiFi
====
+- 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.

- EAP-AKA/SIM
Priority: Medium
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
Complexity: C1
-- Wireless background scan
-
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
-
- While connected ConnMan should offload the background scanning to
- wpa_supplicant. Wpa_supplicant allows for a fancy background scan
- which frequency increases after the current connection signal level
- drops below a defined threshold.
- We should also be able to have wpa_supplicant do the background
- scanning for us when we're not connected, if we have configured our
- favorite networks.
+- Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
-- WiFi p2p
-
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
-
+ 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)

-Tools
-=====
+- L2TP & PPTP compatibility prefix removal
+
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
+ When: connman 2.0
-- Command line tool
+ 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
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Patrik Flykt <patrik.flykt@linux.intel.com>
- For platforms not running python, it could prove useful to provide them
- with a native single binary command line tool.
+- Update VPNC and OpenVPN with Agent support
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C2
-User Interface
-==============
+ Update VPNC and OpenVPN with VPN Agent support to request possible user
+ ids and passphrases.
-- GNOME3 UI

+Tools
+=====
+
+- Add Clock API support to connmanctl
Priority: Low
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Alok Barsode <alok.barsode@linux.intel.com>
+ Complexity: C2
- A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
- users to use ConnMan.
+ The connmanctl command line tool should support Clock API.
