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
an installer/updater.
40
- profile string list interpolation.
41
42
- We have two different ways to find dir entries in zip.c.
- Do symlinks in zip archiver work when they point to dirs?
43
- Enable more warnings?
44
- Use __cdecl in physfs.h?
45
- Look for FIXMEs (many marked with "!!!" in comments).
46
47
- Find some way to relax or remove the security model for external tools.
- fscanf and fprintf support in extras dir.
48
49
- Sanity check byte order at runtime.
- Memory locking?
50
51
- General code audit.
- Multiple write dirs with mount points?
52
53
- Replace code from SDL...
- Should file enumeration return an error or set error state?
54
- 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...
65
66
67
68
- 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.
69
70
71
72
73
- ZIP64 support?
- LZMA support in zip archiver?
- bzip2 support in zip archiver?
- rewrite 7zip archiver.
- ryanify iso9660 code.
74
- Reduce the BAIL and GOTO macro use. A lot of these don't add anything.
75
- Modernize CMakeLists.txt
76
- Change the term "search path" to something less confusing.
77
78
Probably other stuff. Requests and recommendations are welcome.
