This list of tasks in no way indicates priority, that is to say that there is no rhyme or reason to the order that the tasks are presented in. +GMime 2.8 / 3.0 Planning: +========================= -GMime 2.6 Planning: -=================== +- Fix g_mime_message_[g,s]set_sender() to take/return an + InternetAddressList to be more consistent with the recipient + functions as well as being less error-prone. -- Replace all uses of g_signals with my own event stuff. None of this - needs to be public and my events are a lot more performant. [ DONE ] +- Fix g_mime_message_[g,s]et_reply_to() to take/return an + InternetAddressList to be more consistent with the recipient + functions as well as being less error-prone. -- Need to add a Changed event to GMimeHeaderList so that GMimeMessage - can listen to changes in the toplevel mime_part's headers. When they - change, we need to unset the cached header stream on the - GMimeMessage. (see the "Note:" comments in message_write_to_stream - and message_get_headers, while this hack works, it'd be nicer if we - did it based on event callbacks) [ DONE ] +- Modify GMimeStream APIs to take GCancellable and GError arguments. -- Get rid of GMimeSession and replace it with - GMimePassphraseRequestFunc or something. See GpgMe's passphrase - request callback signature for ideas. [ DONE ] +- Modify g_mime_parser_construct_message() and + g_mime_parser_construct_part() methods take GCancellable and GError + arguments. -- Consider optionally using GpgMe so that we can support S/MIME? - [ DONE: but needs testing ] +- Should GMimeStreamGIO be modified to take only a GInputStream or a + GOutputStream and do away with the GFile API? -- Consider GCancellable and GError for GMimeStreams and - GMimeParser... GError being far more important than - GCancellable. GCancellable could be nice to have for network - streams, though... [ POSTPONED ] - -- Add a GIO-backed GMimeStream and bump glib dep to 2.16 [ DONE ] - -- Add a g_mime_part_get_best_content_encoding()? [ DONE ] - -- Rename GMimeBestEncoding enum to GMimeEncodingConstraint? [ DONE ] - - This might be a better name for the enum to reflect what it's - actually meant for. Maybe also move it from gmime-filter-best.h to - gmime-encodings.h? +- Bump the Glib dependency and just use the newer GMutex APIs + directly. - How about a g_mime_part_get_best_charset()? This one could be awkward since it depends on the content being text and also encoded in UTF-8... [ CONSIDERING ] -- Re-add a g_mime_message_get_body()? [ DONE ] - - -Other: -====== - - -- make thread-safe? some stuff already is, like the gmime-iconv code -and some of the other charset stuff. Streams and other objects, -however, are not. How can I do this...? And is it really needed? - -- Possibly make the GMime parser incremental. - -- modify address parser: - -<charles> on usenet it's not uncommon to have header like "From: Joe Bob" -<charles> where people use no address at all to avoid spammers -<fejj> ok -<charles> It would be nice if internet-address handled this -<charles> have ->name == "Joe Bob" and ->value.addr == NULL -<fejj> oh, so only support writing them? ah, that should be easy -<charles> It looks like the else clause on line 582 is where a "Joe Bob" string fails -<fejj> I was pondering how I could possibly parse that as a name :) -<charles> No, I am asking about parsing -<fejj> oh -<charles> It would be nice for internet_address_parse_string() to return an -InternetAddress with a name of "Joe Bob" and a NULL addr -<fejj> ah, okay -<fejj> I guess I can do that -<fejj> I'll have to modify my internet_address_to_string code to handle that too -<fejj> but that should be easy - -- S/MIMEv3: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/smime-charter.html - - - - -Ideas for GMime "3.0" -===================== - -- GMimeStream's should take GError args so apps don't have to rely on - errno (really needed for apps that implement ssl streams or other - stream types which might not map well to libc's errno values) - - - Maybe even drop GMimeStreams and use GIO? - - If not, take GCancellables? - -- GMimeParser should also take a GError arg and/or return int error - codes. +- Possibly make the GMime parser incremental.
