0.7.x

Jan 2009 - May 2009

As of 0.7.4 release (Jun 10-11?), 0.7.x dev is done. We may, based on demand, backport security updates to 0.7.x branch as needed, but new features and bug fixes won't go in this branch.

Completed

• Support for the Twitter search API
• Offline queuing for inbox updates
• Offline queuing for memcached invalidation
• Offline queuing for Facebook updates
• Offline queuing for Twitter bridge
• Make the Javascript badge production-ready, and give instructions on how to use it.

0.8.x

Jun 2009 - Aug 2009

Todo

• PEAR::Auth for multiple authentication backends (like LDAP)

Completed

• an API for groups
• Use Twitter's OAuth API in the Twitter bridge
• Support for a hosted service -- setting up a new Laconica instance, editing the instance's name and theme and so forth. The actual hosted-service code will be AGPL'd, but it may or may not be part of the Laconica package (it just might not fit in with the rest of the code, or make sense).
• Multimedia sharing. This was supposed to be part of 0.7.x, but got jettisoned. This will include an optional file-upload in the Web interface, in-browser video and audio recording, posting with email attachments, and an extension to the API for multimedia.
• Support for "real" queuing systems -- our offline queuing system is based on a homebrewed system that's pretty inefficient. I'd like to abstract out queues and make at least two implementations: Homebrew, and STOMP. This would also be a good time to make a more hierarchical queue system, and support adding things besides notices (like profile updates, dms, subscription notification, nudges) into the queue.
• Statistics. As mentioned in a previous email.
• Profile page theming. You can set the background and colours on your profile page and other "personal tab set" pages.
• Group page theming. Ditto, but for groups.
• Initial support for hooks. The hooks system will be set up and some simple hooks will be enabled.
• More themes. Ideally I'd like to have 3-5 themes as part of our tarball. Ideally we'd grab some free content layouts from OSWD (http://oswd.org/), adapt them to the Laconica layout, and include them.
• Conversations. Each notice that is a reply, or that has been replied to, would include a link to a conversation page, which shows the tree of notices that are in reply to each other (up to a "root" that is not in reply to anything). You may be able to post replies in that page.
• Bi-directional Twitter bridge (read your friends' Tweets)
• Facebook Connect plugin
• Group block (block a user from joining or posting to a group). (requires db update)
• Group aliases -- "sfo" and "sanfrancisco" and "frisco" are the same group. (requires db update)
• Make someone a group admin.

This is done, but the pushcallback is sending in a DOMElement to the parser instead of DOMElement for the feed. I had to put in a temp hack in Activity to convert because I can't find where it's doing that. --Zcopley 05:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
