D-release (Q4, 2020)

• Measured boot and Remote Attestation to the controller
• Encrypted disk vault keys sealed under the TPM PCR values
• End-to-end security even with content inspecting proxies
• Off-line support - verify that applications come up even if there is no connectivity to the controller
• Off-line support - user-setable reset/reboot time if connectivity is lost to controller (to recover from hung network adapters)
• App side-loading/pre-loading by being able to specify content trees independent of volume creation
• Use containerd as Content Addressible Storage for containers, VM and EVE images
• Verify device passthrough for primary video adapter
• Provide an API so Azure IoT edge workload can report status/metrics for the running modules via EVE to controller
• Non-virtio emulation of devices
• Reduce EVE memory footprint (single zedbox process for most microservices); apply C-group controls
• Experimental support for ZFS for the /persist filesystem including encryption

E-release (Target : Q1 2021)

• New EVE Logging Infrastructure (replace rsyslogd with simpler and more robust logging)
• Make IP geolocation more robust by moving to controller
  
• Enable deploying K3S workloads (including shared switch network instances to avoid NAT)
• Download EVE as OCI (one layer so far)
  
• Initial monitoring support for applications (crash, hang, ...)

F-release (Target : Q2 2021) TBD: add link to GH issue for each item

• Next generation storage architecture (design approved; in progress)
• Extract and report GPS coordinates to controller (if device has a cellular modem with GPS) (proposed)
• Incremental image download (rsync-like) (proposed)
• Better enforcement of volume size limits for the OCI-derived volumes (proposed - after storage rework)
• EVE self-monitor and log memory and disk usage increases - (first cut done - https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/pull/2023)
• EVE report more hardware counters? (e.g., disk/SSD S.M.A.R.T counters) (proposed)
• Rename adam controller to "ada" controller? (as in Ada Lovelace) (proposed)
• Expand EVE test coverage to improve overall stability: performance under stress; search for security vulnerabilities; automated code analysis; board farm daily and release testing (proposed)
• TBD

Future - to be planned

• Support multiple disks using different forms of RAID configurations (might use ZFS)
• Tailscale integration?
• Build EVE as OCI layers (reduces size of EVE update downloads)
