Stuff that needs to be done and wishlist:

These are in no particular order.

Some might be dupes, some might be done already, some might be bad ideas.
From http://icculus.org/pipermail/physfs/2009-March/000698.html ...
- Archives formats provided by the implementation.
10
11
- Write support for various archives. I haven't decided how to do this yet,
but I'd like to.
12
- Add an API to expose a file's extended attributes to the application?
13
14
- Deprecate PHYSFS_setSaneConfig(). It really should have been in the extras
directory.

- Clean up the sources to match my ever-changing coding style. :)
From http://icculus.org/pipermail/physfs/2010-January/000821.html ...
- Plugin system for the archive handlers
From http://icculus.org/pipermail/physfs/2010-January/000826.html ...
- Lua bindings
From http://icculus.org/pipermail/physfs/2010-January/000833.html ...
- SWIG bindings
From old TODO.txt...
35
36
- Other archivers: perhaps tar(.gz|.bz2), RPM, ARJ, etc. These are less
37
38
important, since streaming archives aren't of much value to games (which
is why zipfiles are king: random access), but it could have uses for, say,
39
40
an installer/updater.
- Reduce malloc() pressure all over the place. We fragment memory like mad.
41
- profile string list interpolation.
42
43
- We have two different ways to find dir entries in zip.c.
- Do symlinks in zip archiver work when they point to dirs?
44
- Enable more warnings?
45
- Use __cdecl in physfs.h?
46
- Look for FIXMEs (many marked with "!!!" in comments).
47
48
- Find some way to relax or remove the security model for external tools.
- fscanf and fprintf support in extras dir.
49
50
51
- Why do we call it openArchive and dirClose?
- Sanity check byte order at runtime.
- Memory locking?
52
53
54
- Find a better name than dvoid and fvoid.
- General code audit.
- Multiple write dirs with mount points?
55
56
- Replace code from SDL...
- Should file enumeration return an error or set error state?
57
- Need "getmountpoint" command in test_physfs.c ...
58
- Write up a simple HOWTO on embedding physicsfs in another project.

Other stuff I thought of...
- moar asserts!
- constify!
- Does iPhone work?
- Fix CMake vs Doxygen.
- Doxygen replacement? (manpages suck.)
- Fix coding standards to match.
- See if we can ditch some #include lines...
69
70
71
72
- We lost Vista symlink support when removing isSymLink(). Pull it back from
revision control.
- PHYSFS_exists() fails if you mountIo with a NULL filename. We need to decide
how this API should work.
73
74
75
76
77
78
79
- ZIP64 support?
- LZMA support in zip archiver?
- bzip2 support in zip archiver?
- rewrite 7zip archiver.
- ryanify iso9660 code.
- Move archiver_qpak.c code to archiver_unpacked.c?
- Cache basedir/userdir results (do we do this already?)
80
- Reduce the BAIL and GOTO macro use. A lot of these don't add anything.
81
82
Probably other stuff. Requests and recommendations are welcome.
