Development Roadmap

The following is a list of features that are slated for the next major release (openslp 1.2.0):

Enhancement

Priority

Effected Module

Status

Fully implement changes as outlined by RFC2608-bis and RFC2614-bis.
Thus bringing OpenSLP up to date with the "draft standard" versions
of the SLPv2 RFCs high slpd, libslp
unassigned

Proper usage of net.slp.interfaces property for sending and receiving
multicast and broadcast messages

FINISHED

Implementation of RFC 3059 "Attribute List Extension for the Service Location Protocol" medium
slpd, libslp
unassigned

Implementation of RFC 3111 "Service Location Protocol Modifications for IPv6"
medium
slpd, libslp
unassigned

Keep track of which processes make service registrations. Periodically
check live processes and remove registrations of dead processes. medium slpd, libslp FINISHED

Reorganize source code to reduce duplication of code in both libslp and slpd medium slpd, libslp Matt

Replace existing libslpattr code with new predicate, attribute and filtering code that uses
easier to maintain Lex and Bison (yacc) generated lexer and parser
medium

common

Matt

Keep persistant store of long lived registrations as well as registration
timestamps so that processes are not required to re-register services
when slpd is restarted or when slpd unexpectedly dies medium slpd unassigned

Addition of the following helper function:
SLPError SLPMakeAttrs(char **attr,
                      size_t *attrsize,
                      const char* attrtag,
                      const char* attrvalue);
medium libslp unassigned

Replace the test directory with newly updated (script driven) tests suite. medium test unassigned

Investigate DA-DA communication alternatives (such as MSLP) and select one that
will fulfill the requirements of OpenSLP users. Low slpd unassigned

OpenSLP optimization tips (How To Deploy OpenSLP) Low docs unassigned

Agent Dialog diagrams Low docs unassigned

Full Language Support Low slpd, libslp unassigned

If you want to request a missing feature (there are some that are not listed) or are interested in working on OpenSLP, please email the OpenSLP maintainer.
