# RustProxy roadmap

This file records **work still requiring acceptance or planned future consideration**, rather than repeating completed release history. Implemented functionality is described in the [documentation](docs/README.md), and operator-visible changes by release are in the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md).

## 0.34.0 — outstanding release verification

- Compile the exact 0.34.0 source candidate on the supported target environments and run the current Rust regression suite.
- Exercise full HTTP/1.1, TLS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, WebSocket, frontend/backend routing, retry, cache/privacy, certificate and administration scenarios.
- Test selective HOT/COLD invalidation through configuration edits, restart and persistent cache recovery; verify related regression cases and migration behavior.
- Verify optional Linux `sendfile=auto` with eligible static files and that all ineligible requests use safe normal delivery.
- Run controlled before/after performance and resource measurements. **No 0.34.0 throughput improvement is established yet.**
- Perform backup/restore and managed install/update acceptance on supported systems, including the container deployment where applicable.

## Longer-term directions

Future work must be tracked separately from shipped features. Potential areas include better operational verification, additional diagnostics/alerting, clearer configuration and migration UX, and compatibility work as HTTP/ACME/runtime dependencies evolve. These are **not commitments or implemented features** without a separately tested release.

## Documentation policy

- Update existing guides when code behavior changes; remove obsolete instructions and avoid version-by-version implementation notes inside functional guides.
- Keep the changelog technical from an operator's perspective (features, settings, compatibility, defaults, fixes) without Rust allocation/lock/microbenchmark details.
- Preserve old audit/development evidence in a separate archival package if an engineering investigation requires it, not in the live product Reader.
