Legend:
E: easy. Just GUI stuff, no algorithmics involved. That does not mean it's easy to come up with.
M: medium, either because it's a big task, or because it needs to understand a lot of code.
H: hard. Needs digging deep into libretroshare, possibly involving some crypto.
[ ] pending
[/] half-done, someone's on it
[-] cancelled
[?] needs discussion. Not sure we need this.
[X] done
PS: no tabs in this file,thx ;-)
---------------------------------------- TODO for RC ---------------------------------------------
E [ ] Implement creation of a default (signed) gxs id in startup wizard. Needs to show to the user a proper separation between nodes (network layer) and GXS ids (service layer).
E [ ] add tooltips in in permission matrix when hovering over the top most button/service name explain what the service does and the dependencies
E [ ] finish pass of GXS network service
----------------------------------------- TODO list ----------------------------------------------
GUI
E [X] add a "Contact" list to help selecting peers in People/FriendChooser/messages/etc.
E [ ] fix posted GUI. Needs to be more handy and more appealing.
E [ ] add RS links for GXS identities, so that they can be transferred easily between nodes in forums, etc
E [ ] enable people dialog
M [ ] Personal Page (Profile Page for GXS ID Users,view latest Posts, public forum/channels,posted posts, comments in all areas, Reputation Infos, Popularity and more)
E [ ] fix RSButtonOnText::eventFilter, and fix all places where RSButtonOnText gets deleted
E [ ] find all places where the deprecated(in Qt5) Q_WS_WIN and other Q_WS* macros are used, and replace with something else
E [ ] Make RS fully compatible with High DPI screens.
M [ ] improve comments in channels. Comments should be more available, more visible, and easier to handle.
E [ ] make GRouter statistics less CPU greedy
M [ ] Merge the various help systems. there's 3 of them now. Lots of duplicate code, etc.
M [ ] New and consistent icon set (Purplehaze420 said he would provide a consistent set of icons. Is that still alive?)
M [ ] add in options->Network a way to select which network interface is used to talk (choice between "auto" or selected from a list)
M [?] add a RS link for encrypted messages (encrypt for multiple GXS ids at once). Messages will appear as a link when encrypted and
be automatically decrypted when a suitable GXS id is available for it. Could be a way to securely post something in a public place.
File transfer (all 3 tasks are related)
E [ ] Add a limit of the total number of files simultaneously asked to the same peer using direct transfer.
H [ ] implement a new file list management, with new info such as access time,total upload, popularity, etc
H [ ] implement a new file list sharing service based on auto-sync system
M [ ] get rid of the old cache system (remove CacheStrapper, CacheSource,etc)
M [ ] implement end-to-end encryption using chacha20 and H(F), requesting file on H(H(F)). Make this optional and backward compatible.
DHT
H [-] improve DHT lookups to find masquerading peers using fake peers. First experiments (by cyril) do not prove very efficient.
GXS
M [X] create a tunnel service from distant chat code to make it (1) more generic (2) resistant to packet loss.
M [X] optimise GXS sync BW. For the moment too much is sent between nodes.
H [/] add the ability to use anonymous identities into circles. Needs new distribution model using items encrypted for multiple GXS keys.
H [ ] use different and incompatible classes for public and private keys in GxsSecurity
VOIP
H [ ] use proper video encoding. What we have now is decent for video, but sound should be prioritized. Experiments
with QtAV seem to work nicely. Finish and integrate!
M [ ] Deactivate Voip Buttons, when Friend has no Voip plugin enabled.
M [ ] Implement Voice for Video Chat
M [ ] Improve Voice and Video Quality
M [ ] Video Quality/Resolution Settings (High, Medium, Low) HD, HQ, SD )
M [ ] Video Device: WebCam(s) or Desktop Selection
M [ ] Audio Input Device Selection (Microphone)
M [ ] Audio Output Device Selection (Speaker)
M [ ] Video Snapshots https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1222/what-is-video-snapshot
M [ ] Voice Messaging (record and send a voice message)
M [ ] Video Messages (send a video greeting to multiple friends/coworkers/developers at once.)
H [ ] Audio Conference
H [ ] Video Conference
Messages
H [X] make the mail system re-send failed emails notified by the global router. This is hard because it needs a proper management of duplicate messages
E [X] add flags to allow distant messaging from contact list only / everyone / noone / only signed ids.
M [ ] add Signature feature to rs messages
Chat
E [X] add flags to allow distant chat from contact list only / everyone / noone / only signed ids.
Libretroshare
E [X] groups small packets in pqistreamer::handleoutgoing_locked(), and see if that removes some padding overhead
E [ ] make sure at least one location is kept when removing old locations as it avoids lots of connection problems.
M [ ] improve serialisation system. Lots of serialisation tasks (header, verifications, serialiser=>template, can be factored)
M [ ] separate chat stuff from rsmsgs.h into rschat.h
M [ ] crash at shutdown due to memory management already cleared while new objects keep being requested.

Channels
E [ ] allow to set a download directory per channel
M [ ] Thumbnail View for Channels
M [ ] Count commments on Comments Button
M [ ] Notify Channel comments/replies
Posted
E [ ] Show an info page for unsubscribed posted threads (same as forums)
E [ ] Make the GUI of Posted more sexy: more compact items, remove unecessary text, use consistent icons,...
Forums
E [ ] do we keep "Getting Started" ? the look needs to be improved. Any help doing this is welcome!
E [ ] some widgets in the GUI do not follow the system style => GUI looks bad on these systems
Bugs
E [ ] find the bug that shows some peers online in Network although they are not.
M [X] Selecting different options in messages composer -> contact list then come back,
shows disappearing / re-appearing people. What causes this???
Sounds
E [ ] add default sounds for Friend go online, New Chat Message, Message arrived, Download complete
M [ ] make sure sound is working for users on linux. We also need a "test sound" button in config->sound.
Packaging
E [ ] Sound files should be part of the install package at least on ubuntu (put them in /usr/share)
List of pending non backward compatible changes
===============================================
* RsGxsGrpMetaData::deserialis should use a proper TLV_STR_TYPE_NAME instead of 0 for
mGroupName and mMsgName, in rsgxsdata.cc
* p3IdService::service_CreateGroup() should convert the mPgpSign member to radix64!! For now
it is hard-coded in binary in a string.
