We do. It's in devel/TODO. It's mostly build-system stuff:
== Checklist for a quality 1.0 release ==
=== Build system ===
* Document build files.
* Cleanup and separate features in pylib/*
* Add 'snapshot' feature to dump config status into a JSON file for
collecting
build + platform information
* The install production needs to warn of stale ntpdc and ntpdate binaries.
* Add support for enabling all conditional checks to ensure none are broken.
* Add support for disabling specific conditional tests to ensure nothing is
compiled into the base in a surprising fashion, e.g. --undefine=FOO should
suppress generation of any FOO #define into config.h.
* Add support for enabling hidden features like autokey and/or
internal symbols for testing, e.g --define FOO=BAR generates #define
FOO BAR into config.h.
* Add monkeypatch for rmdir, rmtree under Windows.
* ntpdsim does not quite build. There is something wrong with the way waf is
setting up the linkage. To reproduce, remove the "if 0" near the end of
ntpd/wscript.
=== Code ===
* We need a build time option to disable all dangerous operations
that ntpq can produce. First we need to enumerate them.
* systime.c needs patching to put ntpdsim's hook back in place. Deferred
until the ntpdsim build is fixed.
* Hal has seen a core dump in ntpdig. It has not reproduced, so we don't
know what's going on there.
=== Testing ===
* Unit testing. "waf check" needs to run all the unit tests, not
just the small fraction it does.
* We need to live-test various refclocks. It would be nice
to test the full matrix of refclock x platform, but that's too
much work. We should probably test as many refclocks as we can
on at least one platform and test the NMEA, Atom, and SHM drivers
on most platforms.
* The script tests in scripts/t should be investigated, perhaps
they are salvageable.
=== Documentation ===
* Short doc on how to tell your ntpd is running correctly.
Perhaps lifted from GPSD Time Service HOWTO?
* The format and organization of the NEWS file needs a rethink.
We've actually done the last one, I think.
