2 XZ Utils To-Do List
3 ===================
4
5 Known bugs
6 ----------
7
8 The test suite is too incomplete.
9
10 If the memory usage limit is less than about 13 MiB, xz is unable to
11 automatically scale down the compression settings enough even though
12 it would be possible by switching from BT2/BT3/BT4 match finder to
13 HC3/HC4.
14
15 The code to detect number of CPU cores doesn't count hyperthreading
16 as multiple cores. In context of xz, it probably should.
17 Hyperthreading is good at least with p7zip.
18
19 XZ Utils compress some files significantly worse than LZMA Utils.
20 This is due to faster compression presets used by XZ Utils, and
21 can be worked around by using "xz --extreme". However, the presets
22 need some tweaking and maybe this issue can be minimized without
23 making the typical case too much slower.
24
25 xz doesn't quote unprintable characters when it displays file names
26 given on the command line.
27
28 tuklib_exit() doesn't block signals => EINTR is possible.
29
30
31 Missing features
32 ----------------
33
34 xz doesn't support copying extended attributes, access control
35 lists etc. from source to target file.
36
37 Multithreaded compression
38
39 Multithreaded decompression
40
41 Buffer-to-buffer coding could use less RAM (especially when
42 decompressing LZMA1 or LZMA2).
43
44 I/O library is not implemented. It will possibly be named libzzf.
45
46 lzma_strerror() to convert lzma_ret to human readable form?
47 This is tricky, because the same error codes are used with
48 slightly different meanings.
49
50
51 Documentation
52 -------------
53
54 Some tutorial is needed for liblzma. I have planned to write some
55 extremely well commented example programs, which would work as
56 a tutorial. I suppose the Doxygen tags are quite OK as a quick
57 reference once one is familiar with the liblzma API.
58
59 Document the LZMA1 and LZMA2 algorithms.
