26: ============
27: * Rewrite terminal I/O code to use termcap/terminfo
28: * Make FreeM I/O commands syntax-compatible with Reference Standard M

31: * Remove dedicated I/O channel ranges
32: * Make support for control mnemonics work like Reference Standard M (i.e., mnemonic spaces should be implemented in M)
33:
34: Daemon/Shared Memory
35: ====================
1.2 ! snw 36: - Debug issues with starting from init (daemon quits sporadically without an error when launched under systemd)
1.1 snw 37: - Correct the problem where the daemon will leave the terminal in a bad state when exiting
38:
39: FreeM Administrator (fmadm)
40: ===========================
41: * Fix issues created by multi-environment support (most options don't currently work)
1.2 ! snw 42: - Support creating and removing namespaces
1.1 snw 43:
44: Global Handler
45: ==============
1.2 ! snw 46: - Add header with magic value to all DB files, to include magic value, block size, FreeM version, endianness, last transaction number written, replication information, and collation
1.1 snw 47: * Add fields to block footers to support metadata for OO
48: * Add fields to block footers for transaction number and journal sequence number, to enable future support of before-image journaling
49: * Support block sizes other than 1K
50: * Support block-spanning nodes
51: * Make block size variable rather than using a preprocessor macro
52:
53: Journaling
54: ==========
55: * Add automatic journal recovery with after-image journaling, especially for transaction processing
56: * Add replication by sending journals over TCP/IP to a receiver that replays them (in daemon on sender side)
57:
58: Libraries
59: =========
60: * Support OO classes as return types and argument types
61: * Implement MTUI-like functionality library as OO library
62: * Implement I/O classes to wrap primitive M I/O
63:
64: Object-Oriented Programming
65: ===========================
66: * Support nested calls in OO method dispatch
67: * Support objects instantiated in globals
68: * Support dot notation for member vars rather than methods only
69:
70: Documentation
71: =============
72: * Finish the FreeM manual to include tutorial content as well as full documentation of OO features
73: * Add a more accessible administrator section or a separate administrator's manual
74:
75: Testing, Integration, Deployment
76: ================================
1.2 ! snw 77: - Refactor and improve CI/CD scripts
1.1 snw 78: * Develop a test suite (relies on the terminal I/O rewrite for much)
79: * Make sure FreeM can pass the MVTS (will require learning the MVTS)
80:
81: CI/CD System
82: ============
1.2 ! snw 83: - Generalize scripts
! 84: - Make flexible enough to run CI/CD checks without generating a full release
1.1 snw 85: * Deploy storage environment compatible with older UNIXes, including fibre channel
86:
87: Ports
88: =====
1.2 ! snw 89: - Fix ARM-based ports
1.1 snw 90: * Verify readline support exists wherever available
91: * Port to SunOS 4.1.4
92: * Port to SGI IRIX (32-bit and 64-bit) (requires solving build chain issues on the Indy)
93: * Port to HP-UX (PA-RISC 32-bit, 11.00)
94: * Verify operation on AIX 7x
95: * Try to restore support for GNU HURD (will require an alternative to SysV semaphores)
96: * Examine possibility of porting to POSIX environment on VMS (perhaps FreeM-Lite?)
1.2 ! snw 97: - Examine possibility of porting to emx on OS/2 (this works now)
1.1 snw 98: * Examine possibility of porting to DJGPP on MS-DOS (definitely FreeM-Lite, single-user)
99: * Verify current functionality of GNU/Linux-on-s390 port
100:

102: ==========
103: * Restore AIX 5L 5.1
104: * Add AIX 7x
105: * Get HP9000 working with build chain (need a BlueSCSI and a fix for power switch; possible re-cap of boards and PSUs)
106: * Restore Linux on System/390 and zArchitecture (requires Hercules emulator)
107: * Restore hemera (will require a new hard drive or BlueSCSI-type device, or FC) for Solaris 7
1.2 ! snw 108: - Restore yuna and move from Solaris 10 to Solaris 8
1.1 snw 109: * Add SunOS 4.1.4
