  1. Stuff that needs to be done and wishlist:
  2. These are in no particular order. A 1.0 release is reliant on doing most of
  3. this stuff. Some might be dupes, some might be done already.
  4. - Include the Visual Studio.NET project file in CVS directly.
  5. - Favor archivers that have the same extension as an archive when opening.
  6. - Some unix systems want you to free() the results of getmntinfo() and some
  7. don't. Ugh!
  8. - Maybe a configure option to disable CD-ROM detection is in order. The API
  9. would remain, but just report no mounted discs every time.
  10. - Change platform detection so it doesn't need sed?
  11. - Deal with Unix platforms without POSIX threads (NetBSD, etc).
  12. - Other archivers: perhaps tar(.gz|.bz2), RPM, ARJ, etc. These are less
  13. important, since streaming archives aren't of much value to games (which
  14. is why zipfiles are king: random access), but it could have uses for, say,
  15. an installer/updater. I thought it might be neat to have MBOX and Maildir
  16. support so that both "archives" look identical to an application; might be
  17. nice for an email program. That's blue sky, unless someone wants to tackle
  18. it.
  19. - Platforms to be verified as working: Solaris, WinNT 3.1, WinME, WinXP,
  20. MacOS 8.1
  21. - Platforms to port to: NetBSD (needs pthreads), OS/2 (needs platform driver),
  22. PocketPC (Maybe can just use win32.c?), Amiga (needs platform driver),
  23. AtheOS (needs platform driver, maybe can use unix.c and posix.c?)
  24. - Use __cdecl in physfs.h?
  25. - Look for FIXMEs (many marked with "!!!" in comments).
  26. - Probably other stuff. Requests and recommendations are welcome.
