Hi List, I'm currently trying to schedule libmapi-0.6 release and define libmapi-0.8 features/roadmap.
Now samba4-alpha1 is released, we can rely on this version rather than
previous technology preview. We obviously need to test if everything is
OK with OC, but except the libmapiadmin issue described below, there
shouldn't be any problems.
We now have almost all the features we intended to provide in
libmapi-0.6:
1. New features:
- FindRow
- Copy and Move
- IProfAdmin interface improvements (password outside profile)
- Restrictions
- Permissions and Rights
- Public Folder support
2. Very new (and initially not planned) features:
- libmapiadmin: add/delete user
- openchangepfadmin tool
3. Objectives not reached:
- Notification system support is not yet complete.
- There has been no work on the binding system.
I think these new features are significant enough so we can safely plan
to release libmapi-0.6 soon (based upon samba4-alpha1). In the meantime,
some issues need to be discussed and some tasks need to be completed:
- libmapiadmin and samba4/smb.conf global variable. There is a
bug that prevent libmapiadmin functions to work properly unless
a smb.conf file is created and unix_charset, dos_charset etc.
are set. Jelmer, I didn't yet have time to give is a closer
look, but is this issue solved in samba4-alpha1 or is there a
workaround I can use in mapiadmin_init to fix this?
- permissions and rights. I agree with Dan we do need to improve
the current Role and Permissions management. Dan's proposal is
correct and it shouldn't take long to improve the existing
system.
- OC documentation: We need to review existing OC API, tools,
add necessary documentation and/or review existing one.
- make test: Jelmer proposed to add a "make test" rule to the
build system. I think it is a really good idea and would
possibly require to rewrite/clean-up parts of the torture API so
we can automate the full process and have a clear coverage
overview.
- LOG/DEBUG Dan's proposal: Should we implement it now and make
it available in libmapi-0.6 or plan its addition for
libmapi-0.8?
Cheers,
Julien.
