Hi community,
We're considering to drop certain features from MiNiFi C++ that seem to
be unused, and not worth maintaining. If you would like to keep some of
them, please share your opinion and your use case for them!
To be removed:
1. CoAP C2: not used anywhere as far as I'm aware, and not well
maintained. C2 over HTTP would remain unchanged.
2. nanofi: This was an initiative around 2019-2020 to rewrite about half
of minifi in a C library form for integration to other software. There
was no development on it since early 2020, and I'm not aware of any users.
3. pcap extension: not well tested or maintained, probably not used by
anyone
4. usb camera extension: same as pcap
5. sensors extension: same as pcap
6. openwsman extension: same as pcap
As we progress towards the new major versions, now is our best
opportunity to remove unused code, so the codebase becomes easier to
maintain, and this hopefully unlocks new feature possibilities. Let me
know what you think!
Thanks,
Marton
