-Releases in the 1.3 series will be for development. Version 1.4.0 will
-be the next full production release. I am not planning on dates right now, 
-but you can expect maintennence releases for 1.2.9 as well.
-
-With that done, it's time to figure out what we are doing for release 
-1.3 development. I have a few ideas. Maybe others do as well.
-
-DOCUMENTATION:
-  We pretty much have decided that we will doing something along 
-  the lines of a literate programming model. So far, we have site 
-  documentation in DocBook. I have some ideas here, which I will
-  discuss in a separate thread.
-
-
-
-OPTION PROCESSING:
-  I believe we can remove reverse compatibility for non-Getopt
-  option specifications. For example, 'check_ping 1 2 3 4 -p 2'
-  would not be supported anymore. Support for this is a hack, 
-  and making it portable is bug-prone. We should also review
-  standardization of our options -- the current list is a little
-  ad hoc, it should be nailed down. Details in a separate thread.
-
-Also, 
-
-  check_http -p 443 --ssl www.infoplease.com
-
-should be fine, but if the getopt in use does not natively support it,
-things like
-
-  check_http www.infoplease.com -p 443 --ssl
-
-should be trapped and result in a call to one of the usage macros
-(which print a message and then exit STATE_UNKNOWN).
-
-This means that the call_getopt() function can go away. It's an
-inconsistent mess and I'd love to ditch it. I only created it to
-satisfy people that wanted reverse compatibility and did not have
-GNU getopt.
-
-But I would like to urge that all standard plugins contain
-validate_arguments(). I think this will help convey the idea that
-validations should be done, even if we don't insist on the specific
-extent that each plugin must do that validation.
-
-This is the set of standard options I envision:
-
-Reserved:
-
--h, --help (REQUIRED!!!!!)
--V, --version (REQUIRED!!!!!)
--v, --verbose
--q, --quiet
--t, --timeout = INTEGER (senonds)
--c, --critical = (INT|FLOAT|RANGE|LIST) 
--w, --warning = (INT|FLOAT|RANGE|LIST)
--H, --hostname = STRING
--F, --file = STRING (usually input) 
--O, --output = STRING (output file) 
-
-Recommended, but not reserved: 
-
--I, --ipaddress = STRING
--C, --community = STRING
--a, --auth(info) = STRING (authentication or password) 
--l, --logname = STRING
--p, --password = STRING
--P, --port = INT
--u, --url = STRING (also --username if --url is not needed)
-
-I am suggesting that port always be '-P' (uppercase) -- we are
-currently inconsistent in that regard.
-
-I am also adding '-q' for silent running. This is totally self
-centered--I am planning to use a plugin in a cron script, and I
-don't want nightly emails.
-
-As has been the case, ranges are specified with colons, like 'i:j'
-and list are specified with commas like 'i,k' and may contain ranges
-if it makes sense to do so. Perhaps it would be good to build a
-standard list/range processing function for this task.
-
-
-Programming:
-  I would like to follow the GNU guidelines and remove all fixed
-  length character assignments, at least to the extent possible,
-  from the C-based plugins. To that end, I have made strscpy and
-  friends in utils.c -- I'd like to deploy them. I have comments 
-  that there is a lot of duplicated code, and techniques used that
-  should be cleaned up. Details in a separate thread.
-
-Remote checks:
-  I have a proposal in hand to incorporate ssh check into spopen()
-  so that remote machine checks can be seamless. A nice idea, but 
-  complex enough to require discussion. Another thread.
-
-I also have a wish list, and I'm sure I've forgot some items. I'll 
-list mine, please respond with other items that can be put into the 
-sourceforge task manager:
-
-  Indent all code in a GNU-compatible manner (indent -ts 2 -br)
-  Add RAND_seed to check_http for --ssl on systems without /dev/random
-  Add regex filtering to check_procs --args option
-  Add working procs syntax for AIX check_procs
-  Allow check_disk to exclude non-local disks
-  Add md5 checksumming to check_http
-  Complete unification of check_tcp and friends
-  Add SSL in a general way to check_tcp and friends
-  Patches to check_log from Joonas
-  Add calculator engine and snmpwalk to check_snmp
-  Is there a bug in check_oracle
-  Are there outstanding bugs in check_snmp
-  Change check_http --onredirect to default as STATE_UNKNOWN
-  Create plugin to check tftp servers
-  Create plugin wrapper to invert error status
-
