+This is an undergoing work, publication is only intended for developers to review and provide feedback.
-### Licence
-As today the code is under GLPV3, while no decision as been taken yet, it will certainly move under a different licence like GPV2, Apache or MIT.
-
-Final goal is keep the engine public while allowing people to load non open-source plugins. The code already leverage other opensource
-libraries especially libmicrohttpd & libjson. Finally what ever Licence is chosen it should be compatible with dependencies and automotive
-industry requirementsas the primary target for this code is AGL.

### Building
- Building Application Framework Binder requires the following libraries:
-
- * libmagic ("libmagic-dev" under Debian/Ubuntu, "file-devel" under OpenSUSE);
- * libmicrohttpd ("libmicrohttpd-dev/devel");
+Building Application Framework Binder has been tested under **Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)** or **Fedora 23**, and requires the following libraries:
+ * libmagic ("libmagic-dev" under Ubuntu, "file-devel" under Fedora);
+ * libmicrohttpd >= 0.9.48 (fetch and build from "http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd");
* json-c ("libjson-c-dev/devel");
* uuid ("uuid-dev/libuuid-devel");
+ * openssl ("libssl-dev/openssl-devel");
+ * systemd >= 222 ("libsystemd-dev/systemd-devel");
- optionally, for plugins :
-
+Optionally, for plugins :
* alsa ("libasound2-dev/alsa-devel");
- * rtl-sdr >= 0.5.0 (fetch and build from "git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr");
+ * pulseaudio ("libpulse-dev/libpulse-devel");
+ * rtl-sdr >= 0.5.0 ("librtlsdr-dev", or fetch and build from "git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr" under Fedora);

- and the following tools:
+Libmicrohttpd :
+ * version >= 0.9.54
+and the following tools:
+ * gcc;
+ * make;
* pkg-config;
* cmake >= 2.8.8.
-To install all dependencies under OpenSUSE (except rtl-sdr), please type:
-
-$ zypper in file-devel libmicrohttpd-devel libjson-c-devel libuuid-devel pkg-config cmake
-
- To build from the root directory, please type:
-
-$ mkdir build; cd build<br />
+To install all dependencies under Ubuntu (excepting libmicrohttpd), please type:
+```
+$ apt-get install libmagic-dev libjson-c-dev uuid-dev libsystemd-dev libssl-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev librtlsdr-dev libglib2.0-dev libgupnp-av-1.0-dev gcc make pkg-config cmake
+```
+or under Fedora (excepting libmicrohttpd and rtl-sdr):
+```
+$ dnf install git passwd iproute openssh-server openssh-client openssh-server # Tools needed on top of Docker Minimal Fedora

Default behaviour is to locate ROOTDIR in $HOME/.AFB
### REST API
-Developer should mainly provides a structure with APIs name, corresponding methods and optionally some context and a handle.
-A handle is a void* structure that it is passed to the api callback. The API receive the query and well as post data, incase
-a post method was used. Every method should return a JSON object or NULL in case of error.
+Developers are intended to provide a structure containing : API name, corresponding methods/callbacks, and optionally a context and a handle.
+A handle is a void* structure automatically passed to API callbacks.
+Callbacks also receive HTTP GET data as well as HTTP POST data, in case a POST method was used.
+Every method should return a JSON object or NULL in case of error.
-API plugin can be protected from timeout and other errors. By default this behaviour is deactivated, use --apitimeout to activate it.

-### On going work
+### Ongoing work
- -- Dynamic load of plugins. While everything is designed to support dynamically loadable plugins, this part is not done yet.
- -- Javascript plugins. As today only C plugins are supported, but JS plugins are on the ToDo list.
