[reSIProcate] 1.0 release candidate

[Byron Campen]

Most of the open issues that we have been discussing have been  
addressed at this point, but we have still not fixed/come to a  
decision on the following:


4.       UDP Transport enhancement patch to peek message size and  
allocate buffer appropriately.
4.       Not fixed (the MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC trick is not portable at  
all). Although, it would be easy to set up a 64K staging buffer where  
the datagram is initially copied, and then allocate a smaller buffer  
and copy again)

6.       Not using PrivateKey pass phrases at all.  All private keys  
must be unencrypted on the disk.
6.       Probably not fixed (Cullen)

7.       Change to DateCategory to make is more compatible with other  
implementations.
7.       Not addressed (we probably should if it is easy)

13.   TLS Client Connect Inefficiency.
13.   Not addressed. Discussing on list.


Do these things need to be fixed for the 1.0 release? Can they wait  
for 1.1? Opinions? (Unless these are show-stoppers, we should  
probably press on)


As far as general testing goes:

make install seems to be working fine on FC4 and OS 10.4.

I have verified that "make check" works on both FC4 and OS 10.4.

tfm also works on both FC4 and OS 10.4.  (except for the  
testEarlyMedia case, but this appears to be a timing issue in the  
test-case)

Scott has tested the build (at least) on Windows. I'd feel better if  
I knew we were passing some test-cases.

We are passing the protos test suite on FC4 with the PEDANTIC_STACK  
build flag set (ie, we fully parse every message, giving more  
opportunities for the parser to explode).

It looks to me like we would pass RFC 4475 Torture-Tests (at least as  
far as stack requirements go, I don't know about DUM), but until the  
test-case is completely written (a LOT of work), we cannot claim to  
be Torture-Tests compliant. This will have to wait.



I think we will not have any problems dropping a release candidate  
today. As per Jason's suggestion, we will just be giving a tag and a  
revision number for the release candidate. Unless something pops up,  
I will be doing this at the end of the day (5ish Central Time).

Best regards,
Byron Campen
