Major changes:

• Documentation:
  • Roadmap
  • PHPDoc (makefile, etc.)
  • User information (INSTALL, README, config, etc.)

• Bug Squishing:
  • Repeatedly compare current maintain state with JIRA bug archives to ensure old bugs are not reoccurring
  • Try and create/discover bugs through using Maintain
  • Focus on: Zone, Range, User, and Host

• Code Cleanup:
  • Too many functions, making unit testing difficult at best.
  • Again, focus should be one: Zone, Range, and Host
  • Database Access
    • We're just hammering the DB way too often. Work on data persistence.
  • Conf is rather bloated and should be weeded out a bit.

• Finish API
  • Goal for initial completion: July 31st, 2005

• PHP5/MySQL 4.1 support
  • clone() is built-in to DB_DataObject, start using it

• Modules
  • Find a better, more pluggable system
  • Should include a graphical enable/disable interface
  • (modules table in the DB?)
  • New module install/uninstall format (similar to Plone's)
  • Separation of modules from the rest of maintain:
    • A broken module should not necessarily break Maintain

• Installation/CLI tools
  • A single Makefile to utilize built-in scripts such as createTables, validate config, etc.

• Security Checking
  • SQL Injection
  • XSS Vulnerability

Changes to be made:

• Change session management (danny)
• Change 'true' to boolean(true) from config file (frontend and backend) (danny)
• Modify the backend such that it understands the sections in the config file (danny)
• Config stuff:
  • Modify config GUI (claym)
  • Validate the config not generated by graphical interface. (claym)
  • web interface needs an "enable" checkbox or some such (claym)
  • create a special symbol for "commented-out option" in the config (#@)
  • "convert" script from old config format to new config format
  • dbdataobject stuff doesn't belong in the config. find a better way to createtables (danny)
• /modules/class/upgrade.php
  • Change session type to "file" during this script, set back upon completion (only if we add security)
  • update password length to reflect SHA-1 password hashes (danny)
• New password hashes
  1. switch on password length: 28 = [OLD_]PASSWORD(), 40 = SHA-1 (41 = new PASSWORD)
  2. convert if necessary
  • /modules/class/user.php...make it work with encrypted passwords! (danny)
• Makefile support is a mess
  • Make db (recreate DB_DataObject tables)
• Add getUser functionality to MaintAuth_Container_LDAP and MaintAuth_Container_DB

Ongoing changes:

• PHPDoc comments
• API Refactoring (danny)...ongoing
• Translations/Gettext support...
  • string literals to _(string)
  • ereg vs. preg_match
• CLI Toolset
