This is for example + required to notify an application of a changed smartcard, The + application can then do whatever is required. There are other + usages too. This notfication system should be independent of any + contextes of course. +** --learn-code support + This might be integrated with import. we still need to work out how + to learn a card when gpg and gpgsm have support for smartcards. + +* Documentation +** Add note about GPGME clearing out pointer return values. +** validity/trust + +* Engines +** Move code common to all engines up from gpg to engine. +** engine operations can return General Error on unknown protocol + (it's an internal error, as select_protocol checks already). +** When server mode is implemented properly, more care has to be taken to + release all resources on error (for example to free assuan_cmd). +** GnuPG +*** For pipemode, make sure to release the pipemode callback data object. + Note, pipemode will eventually be replaced by an Assuan interface to gpg. + +* Operations +** Passphrase callback should not copy password. !!! +** Export status handler need much more work. +** Import should return a useful error when one happened. +** Genkey should return something more useful than General_Error. +** Factor out common code in _op_*_start functions. +** Add ATTR to return the number of subkeys or uids. +** "When returning a GpgmeKey GPGME_ATTR_COMMENT attribute, characters + like ":" are not un-escaped, they are returned as \x3a" Bug + reported by Stephane Corthesy. + +* Error Values +** Map ASSUAN/GpgSM ERR error values in a better way than is done now. !! +** Verify (and document) if Read_Error, Write_Error, Pipe_Error set errno. + +* Tests +** Write a fake gpg-agent so that we can supply known passphrases to + gpgsm and setup the configuration files to use the agent. Without + this we are testing a currently running gpg-agent which is not a + clever idea. ! +** t-data +*** Test gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem. +*** Test gpgme_data_rewind for invalid types. +*** Test gpgme_data_read's readable feature. + +* Debug +** Handle malloc and vasprintf errors.
