- expand the document "Year report of the month values" in processing the manual entered counters overrun;

- expand the document function "Diagram" in support the bar graphs.

4 Testing, optimization and fixing

• [TESTING] Implement the asynchronous writing with a function of preventing the data loss on the time of the connection missing for the key DAQ-modules of the OpenSCADA internal procedures: DAQGate, ICP_DAS, DCON. The function is currently tested on the module ModBus.
• UI.{Vision,WebVision}: Complete revision of the primitive "ElFigure" implementation, what needs:

- BUG: selecting multiple figures at hold the key "Ctrl";

- BUG: clearing the copy buffer after selected items copy — impossible for the copy repeat;

- BUG: selecting upper figure's point in the moving operations;

- checking for alignment of the coordinates;

- performance optimisation;

5 Program/System generic

• Develop the text highlighting rules building in the comments of the custom text rules.
• Develop the possibility of copy OpenSCADA configuration parts together their translation on all available languages, useful for copy the multilanguage parts in own multilanguage libraries or projects.
• Develop the pure demo and the TP-mode on the certificates base in the keys of the subscription on a TP-package: prevent writing and form the notification dialogues.
• Work out for developing, using, integration to solutions, concept of the support of the OpenSCADA project. Expand the community targeting for implementation control of:
  • tasks: tasks pool, fund and fundraising; developers register, ranks for participate into the tasks.
  • solutions: register a task of the solution implementation (by consumer), set demands to the task and performer, set the price limit; each performer propose self price; consumer select a performer. Commission from the order price to the project is 10%.
• Prepare some solutions as OpenSCADA products:
  • Common packages of 0.9 LTS as a product — developing the service updates of the 0.9 LTS in the pure demo mode before applying a key of the TP support;
  • Android packages;
  • Firmwares and builds for "ICP DAS" LinPac (LP).

- update the building environment to Android 10, unify and archive the old environments (the first try in the chroot Android_5_TRY.txz), append the building procedures by targets of automatic building the Android packages;

- build Qt6 with WebEngine and Multimedia support;

- append all external windows of the runtime mode of the module Vision for items of their closing and for centring.

• Adapt to the software platform QNX:

+ get some QNX platform representation => due to the deep closing, but yet using OpenSource, this OS is not allowed in free and there was bought a used hardware based on BlackBerry, that is "BB PlayBook";

- start the adaption sub-project and place here the preadaption achievements from Sergey Doroshka;

- build the pure console program;

- build the full-featured Qt-GUI program on Photon.

• Adapt to the software platform MS Windows®:

+ adapt for the modules linking with the OpenSCADA core library directly, for DLL restrictions;

- start the adaption sub-project;

- describe the original start of OpenSCADA as a Linux program on MS Windows, using WSL;

- initiate the OpenSCADA building for the MS Windows environment.

6 Subsystem DB

• Directory by LDAP

- expand the authentication mechanism by the storage functions (the DB object), that is virtual functions to TBD:

• auth() — direct checking the user authentication, through "bind" or ldap_whoami();
• passHash() — obtaining the password hash, to comparing, if auth() is missed, and changing the password by the function ldap_passwd() or see to the utility slappasswd.
