1 Here are some ideas that might make it into later versions.
5 ? = not sure to included it
8 + - Support for keyfiles when importing, key generation, signing, and changing
9 a passphrase for a data file. This requires the planned gpg-agent OPTION
10 pinentry-mode=loopback. It should work fine when it is supported in
11 gpg-agent, but is untested.
13 ? - Use the DBUS protocol instead of libassuan. Better asynchronous IO. More
14 language bindings. Better handling of large amounts of data. May be better
15 to hack libassuan though since DBUS is a binary protocol. Probably will
18 ? - Make a specification that applications should follow when accessing or
19 storing the XML elements. This way two clients (one for console and
20 another for GUI) that require the same data (mail client) could use the
21 same element paths and not duplicate each others data.
23 For example, a POP3 client would require a hostname, username, password
24 and optional port along with an SSL request (fingerprint, certificate),
25 etc. The root element of the service might have an attribute
26 "service=pop3" along with "default=1" or "active=1" (if you have more than
27 one POP3 account) so all the client needs to get the pop3 server info is
28 the type of service ("pop3" here). The client would then loop through the
29 LIST command output and search for the required service attribute. Using
30 the XPATH command would be faster (especially over remote connections) but
31 it won't resolve any "target" attributes and the output is raw XML which
32 doesn't have TAB delimited elements. But that could be fixed by the
