-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.
-
-    XZ Utils compress some files significantly worse than LZMA Utils.
-    This is due to faster compression presets used by XZ Utils, and
-    can often be worked around by using "xz --extreme". With some files
-    --extreme isn't enough though: it's most likely with files that
-    compress extremely well, so going from compression ratio of 0.003
-    to 0.004 means big relative increase in the compressed file size.
-
-    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.
-
-    SIGTSTP is not handled. If xz is stopped, the estimated remaining
-    time and calculated (de)compression speed won't make sense in the
-    progress indicator (xz --verbose).
-
-    If liblzma has created threads and fork() gets called, liblzma
-    code will break in the child process unless it calls exec() and
-    doesn't touch liblzma.
-
-
-Missing features
-----------------
-
-    Add support for storing metadata in .xz files. A preliminary
-    idea is to create a new Stream type for metadata. When both
-    metadata and data are wanted in the same .xz file, two or more
-    Streams would be concatenated.
-
-    The state stored in lzma_stream should be cloneable, which would
-    be mostly useful when using a preset dictionary in LZMA2, but
-    it may have other uses too. Compare to deflateCopy() in zlib.
-
-    Support LZMA_FINISH in raw decoder to indicate end of LZMA1 and
-    other streams that don't have an end of payload marker.
-
-    Adjust dictionary size when the input file size is known.
-    Maybe do this only if an option is given.
-
-    xz doesn't support copying extended attributes, access control
-    lists etc. from source to target file.
-
-    Multithreaded compression:
-      - Reduce memory usage of the current method.
-      - Implement threaded match finders.
-      - Implement pigz-style threading in LZMA2.
-
-    Multithreaded decompression
-
-    Buffer-to-buffer coding could use less RAM (especially when
-    decompressing LZMA1 or LZMA2).
-
-    I/O library is not implemented (similar to gzopen() in zlib).
-    It will be a separate library that supports uncompressed, .gz,
-    .bz2, .lzma, and .xz files.
-
-    Support changing lzma_options_lzma.mode with lzma_filters_update().
-
-    Support LZMA_FULL_FLUSH for lzma_stream_decoder() to stop at
-    Block and Stream boundaries.
-
-    lzma_strerror() to convert lzma_ret to human readable form?
-    This is tricky, because the same error codes are used with
-    slightly different meanings, and this cannot be fixed anymore.
-
-    Make it possible to adjust LZMA2 options in the middle of a Block
-    so that the encoding speed vs. compression ratio can be optimized
-    when the compressed data is streamed over network.
-
-    Improved BCJ filters. The current filters are small but they aren't
-    so great when compressing binary packages that contain various file
-    types. Specifically, they make things worse if there are static
-    libraries or Linux kernel modules. The filtering could also be
-    more effective (without getting overly complex), for example,
-    streamable variant BCJ2 from 7-Zip could be implemented.
-
-    Filter that autodetects specific data types in the input stream
-    and applies appropriate filters for the corrects parts of the input.
-    Perhaps combine this with the BCJ filter improvement point above.
-
-    Long-range LZ77 method as a separate filter or as a new LZMA2
-    match finder.

-Documentation
--------------
-
-    More tutorial programs are needed for liblzma.
-
-    Document the LZMA1 and LZMA2 algorithms.
-
-
-Miscellaneous
-------------
-
-    Try to get the media type for .xz registered at IANA.
