Introduction
During the Helium code sprint we will focus on delivering two major features:
- PCEP support for Segment Routing
- BGP support for route dissemination and passive connections
Secondary goals are keeping current with drafts as they evolve, bug fixes and performance/scale improvements.
Release Deliverables

|
| M2 | 6/09/2014 | | Name | Status | Description |
|---|
| Release Plan | Done | Final Release Plan | | API design of BGP speaker | Done | Speaker capability requires us to rework AdjRIBsIn class into a per-peer structure and MD-SAL writer. We will also need interfaces for export engine. | | BGP Update message serializer | Done | For the purpose of having a full BGP speaker, having a serializer for all parts of Update message is a must. This task also includes getting rid of using raw byte array in other parts of BGP serialization, that will also improve clearness of the code and performance. |

| M3 | 7/07/2014 | | Name | Status | Description |
|---|
| Create model for AdjRibsIn/Out | Done | Similar to the LocRib model, we need a per-peer view of information which has been ingested (AdjRibIn) and which is to be advertized (AdjRibOut) | | Support for Segment Routing | Done | For Helium, we are doing PCEP only. This includes extending the models to support SR paths and the related parsers/serializers. | | Support for BGP statistics | Moved to Lithium | Simple per-connection/per-rib statistics, which can be quickly reviewed. Number of PDUs received/sent, time of last PDU send/received, negotiated session capabilities. |

| API Freeze |
| No API/model changes are allowed after this date. | | Implementation of BGP speaker. | Done | BGP stack needs to be able to disseminate routes using a simple export policy. | | Update PCEP drafts | Done | PCEP drafts implemented in Hydrogen release are outdated and need to be adjusted to newer draft versions. | | BGP speaker reconnect support | Done | The speaker role requires us to be able to establish both active and passive sessions. The IO subsystem to handle that will be finished by API freeze. |
|
| M5 | 9/1/2014 | | Name | Status | Description |
|---|
| Code Freeze |
| Writing tests and user-facing documentation. | | Technical debt payback | Done | This includes getting rid of sonar warnings, updating unit test coverage and refactoring where needed. | | Support PCEP statistics | Moved To Lithium | Simple per-session statistics, number of messages sent/received, time of last message in/out, session characteristics, total number of PCErr messages |

Compatibility with Previous Releases
This release is expected to break both binary and source-code level compatibility. All Java code plugins will need to be updated. Some RESTCONF clients may need updating. The precise amount of breakage will be established by API freeze.
