== SquirrelMail 1.5.x version roadmap and todos ==
=== On the road to 2.0 ===
(or: how to prevent our rodent from becoming roadkill)
* Finish Templating Phase 1 (see TemplatesInSquirrelMail)
* Make sure this works for an average user;
* Finish up plugins API refactoring
* Add any small-scale features, refactorings at this point;
* Release 1.5.2 DEVEL
* Stop accepting new features, only bugfixes
* No more plugins API changes, unless unavoidable
* Finish Templating Phase 2
* Fix bugs according to feedback on 1.5.2.
* Fix more bugs.
* Chance for plugin authors to start to adapt.
* Release 1.5.3 DEVEL
* fix bugs
* Release candidate 2.0 RC1
* fix bugs
* Release 2.0
==== Maybe in SquirrelMail 1.5.2 ====
This would also be nice to have in 1.5.2. Anyone interested in having it, should work on it soon and make sure it's done before the templating/plugins stuff is finished. Any of this missing will not delay the release of 1.5.2.
* Calendar plugin (add sql support or move to shared_calendars)
* Change Password plugin (agree on plugin format) [link] [link2]
* Move core plugin options to widgets
* PHP Pspell extension support in SquirrelSpell
* Generate all fabricated URLs with a single function in order to achieve that at a later stage we can add the SID to it.
* Cut down on the number of globals we use.
** Assigned to everyone, while working on some code reduce or eliminate the globaling of variables.
* (see previous point) stop passing $username and $data_dir to all getPref/setPref calls
** Assigned to Thijs Kinkhorst
Under discussion:
* session.use_trans_sid
* Add SASL authentication patch. gssapi authentication is unstable. Patch is not clean. SMTP auth is not implemented. Login changes will cause issues in other authentication methods.
Under testing:
* Create a single sm_init.php include file and cleanup all the circular include_once() and require_once() calls.
* session_regenerate_id() to avoid session hijacking.
* HttpOnly cookies.
* Load the default configuration before main configuration file in order to make sure that expected configuration variables are set.
* Deprecate direct access to password information. sqauth_read_password() and sqauth_save_password() functions must be used instead of reading key cookie and onetimepad session variable. $key and $onetimepad should not be globalized, if scripts don't need them.
Finished:
* Globalize error handler and template code
* Remove all development documentation from tarball.
=== The Marc Groot Koerkamp project list ===
(Not decided when to be released.)
Current projects of mine inside SquirrelMail:
* Creating base utility classes;
* Creating a generic messages class for different backends (IMAP, NNTP);
* Creating IMAP backend for the messages class.
To Do list SquirrelMail:
* Rewrite of configuration system;
* Creating a Persistor class;
* Creating a compose class;
* Creating a generic SquirrelMail Contacts class;
* Implementing Mime base class where mime-handlers/content-type can be hooked in.
Personal Wishlist:
* Adding support for Kroupware and/or opengroupware.org in order to add (i/v)Calendar support and Contact support. Requirement for this is a working Mime-base class;
* Advanced SquirrelMail frontends that retrieves data throught XML-RPC or SOAP.
