    v30 v31  
    165165   * upload speeds via VPN to David's servers in RedHat VPN seem to be limited by RedHat internal lines...
    166166
     167* future plans?  mid term, long term?
     168   * 2.4 (mid-term goals for 2.x)
     169      * interactive service!  MUST HAVE
     170      * timeout stuff fixes (Arne)
     171      * peer-id MUST HAVE
     172      * inotify "good chance", async plugin "depends on time"
     173      * IPv6 gateway handling - really should go in, but cron2 has no time :( - depends on how the remaining schedule surrounding 2.4 goes
     174      * AEAD/GCM - code is there, not performing nicely yet - MUST HAVE
     175      * EC with external keys is not working yet - "nice to have", nobody working on it, not actually hard, just "many small pieces to touch"
     176      * new data packet format (COMPRESS_V2)
     177      * NTLMv2 proxy fixes (in 2.4.0 and 2.3.x, please - bugfix!)
     178      * new windows installer for gui and everything (mattock), fixes lots of bugs, should be in 2.4.0 - MUST HAVE
     179      * rough timeline: march 2015 for 2.4.0-RC?
     180      * coding style change right before 2.4.0-RC
     181      * improve systemd support (patches on the list)
     182      * --enable/disable-ssl -> remove #ifdefs
     183      * get rid of "useless #define" - find your pet peeve, ask on the list, send patch if feature-ACK
     184      * look at trac
     185      * auth-user-pass inline (patch from pekster?) - status? followup on it?
     186      * GOST (nice to have, but no pressing need now - Heiko to rebase to master, overlap with AEAD for "newer openssl APIs"? - look at it)
     187   * 2.5 (long term goal for 2.x)
     188      * multiple server sockets (TCP+UDP)
     189      * multiple threads ("however it might look like in the end"), depending on the performance bottlenecks discovered
     190      * improved testing framework (andj) - MUST HAVE, some stuff might go to 2.4
     191      * isolate functionality better (no central context everywhere, gets into the way of testing) (syzzer)
     192      * better document internal API and wire protocol - go for a (personal) RFC?  (syzzer/james)
     193      * cipher negotiation
     194   * 3.0 (mid term and long term)?
     195      * today: solid client (iOS, Android)
     196      * work being done on adding server functionality
     197      * James feels more comfortable about "putting it out to the public" when it has (basic) server functionality
     198      * CLA issues still open - current state: discussed inside OpenVPN Tech, "nearly done"; similar to Google CLA for Android
     199      * 3 being used as a testbed for new ideas
     200      * James: "I've watched python 2 to 3 deseaster, learned from it" - on the wire protocol will be 100% compatible, most client config stuff is compatible
     201      * Andj: splitting community resources is tricky, James agrees
     202      * Heiko: it would be nice to have a "cli wrapper" that presents the same cli + mgmt interface to "GUI users" (like Tunnelblick, etc.)
     203      * James: agree, mgmt interface would be good
     204      * Arne: I can push an Android version with my gui, if James is comfortable with it - James: "when I'm comfortable with the code, still very much refactoring going on, so wait for the server functionality to be done"
     205      * Andj: multithreading?  James: it's sort of thread-agnostic, but there is no active multithreading functionality yet
     206      * multi-socket server is actually very easy, as you just create a few ASIO socket objects and listen to them (and it's **fast** too!)
     207
     208* weekly community meetings: **new time** Monday, 20:00-22:00 european local time, make it more frequently again - first meeting: Monday 21st
     209
    167210* querying passwords using systemd
    168211   * ...
