+Hey Emacs, this is -*- outline -*- mode!
+
+* ABI's to break:
+** string representation of non-secret keys and ATTR_IS_SECRET is NULL,
+ which can not be differentiated from the case that it is not
+ representable.
+
+* Thread support:
+** Build thread modules for static linking (which just suck in the
+ desired symbols the hard way). !!
+
+* New features:
+** notification system
+ We need a simple notification system, probably a a simple callback
+ with a string and some optional arguments. 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. But decide first if they should be
+ ignored (and logged with 255?!), or really be assertions. !
+
+* Build suite
+** Make sure everything is cleaned correctly (esp. test area).
+
+Bugs reported by Stephane Corthesy:
+> BTW, here's another bug: it it not possible to retrieve fingerprints
+> for subkeys
+--> This seems to work now (wk 2002-08-20)
+
+> In GpgmeRecipients, would it be possible to provide a function which
+> would return the validity assigned to a name contained in the
+> GpgmeRecipients instance?
+
+> passphrase callback. If I use the same GpgmeContext as the one which
+> is currently asking for a passphrase, my app crashes: the r_hd in
+> the
+> callback has become invalid; if I use a brand new one, the callback
+> is called recursively, when I ask to enumerate keys.
