+XZ Utils To-Do List |
+=================== |
+ |
+Known bugs |
+---------- |
+ |
+ The test suite is too incomplete. |
+ |
+ If the memory usage limit is less than about 13 MiB, xz is unable to |
+ automatically scale down the compression settings enough even though |
+ it would be possible by switching from BT2/BT3/BT4 match finder to |
+ HC3/HC4. |
+ |
+ The code to detect number of CPU cores doesn't count hyperthreading |
+ as multiple cores. In context of xz, it probably should. |
+ Hyperthreading is good at least with p7zip. |
+ |
+ XZ Utils compress some files significantly worse than LZMA Utils. |
+ This is due to faster compression presets used by XZ Utils, and |
+ can be worked around by using "xz --extreme". However, the presets |
+ need some tweaking and maybe this issue can be minimized without |
+ making the typical case too much slower. |
+ |
+ xz doesn't quote unprintable characters when it displays file names |
+ given on the command line. |
+ |
+ tuklib_exit() doesn't block signals => EINTR is possible. |
+ |
+ |
+Missing features |
+---------------- |
+ |
+ xz doesn't support copying extended attributes, access control |
+ lists etc. from source to target file. |
+ |
+ Multithreaded compression |
+ |
+ Multithreaded decompression |
+ |
+ Buffer-to-buffer coding could use less RAM (especially when |
+ decompressing LZMA1 or LZMA2). |
+ |
+ I/O library is not implemented. It will possibly be named libzzf. |
+ |
+ lzma_strerror() to convert lzma_ret to human readable form? |
+ This is tricky, because the same error codes are used with |
+ slightly different meanings. |
+ |
+ |
+Documentation |
+------------- |
+ |
+ Some tutorial is needed for liblzma. I have planned to write some |
+ extremely well commented example programs, which would work as |
+ a tutorial. I suppose the Doxygen tags are quite OK as a quick |
+ reference once one is familiar with the liblzma API. |
+ |
+ Document the LZMA1 and LZMA2 algorithms. |
+ |
