-SHORTTERM
-- handle international filenames more gracefully (unicode API?)
-- most is multithreaded ... but zzip_dir_open (Thorsten Schöning)
-- rboerdijk@ does also report errors on overlapping reads, another
- one pointed to the usage of seek_set that may cause the problems
-- ubuntu packager added man.1 for the zz*-binaries, could be upstream.

-WISHLIST
-
-- Check the CRC value at the end of read... and add more error codes.
-
-- Do more test. Currently use only with tested "friendly" archives.
- This is also related to usages of zziplib in virus detection
- code which should better have a hardened library code. That does
- also include inflate interface code to need the most testing.
-
-- the buffer reusage code was not strictly multithreading. It should
- be fixed by now but it would be better to have an automatic test
- routine to check reentrancy/multithreaded functionality.
-
-- Sligthly More documentation. With the generation of man pages and
- multiple pages for the website, it does already look acceptable.
- It should still get better of course - kinda newbie friendly *g*
-
-- Boris Schäling likes to open a zzip archive in memory.

-KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
-The win32 compilers need each a different config.h derivate that
-matches both the headers shipped with the compiler and installed
-with updates of the SDK. There is no autoconfigure on win32 as
-that - unless you install some unix tools along.
-
-The sparc-sun-solaris2.* will utter warnings for "char subscript"
-which is caused by isdigit() from ctype.h - this will NOT FIX as
-it is only in the example source code and we want to keep those
-lean and mean to make them easy to adopt by developers.
-
-The hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 did show spurious problems of making
-shared libraries - this may well fix with an update of the
-libtool package, the libtool 1.4 is dated 2001/04/24
-
-There are reports of misaligned access to some zip fields that
-I would guess to be on little-endian non-x86 platforms. The current
-bytewise access of multibyte fields is targeted towards the
-bigendian unix machines. The fix would need to go to fetch.h but
-so far no response came about as that one could test a solution.
-
-There are spurious reports of users on win32 platforms that tell
-of some problems with a specific zip file they have but it was
-not possible so far to recreate an environment abroad to show
-the problem too. One can not say if that is due some general
-instability out of DLL hell, or if there is a bug hiding somewhere.
-Please send all those zip files to the maintainer, perhaps it
-can help to find the real cause (I doubt it is in zziplib, but..)
-
-Since lately the xml docbook tools have hardened the checks on the
-input xml that is used for manpage generation. Interestingly the
-resulting manpages are still okay but one should try to fixaway the
-warnings as may be later the result would lead to garbage output
-due more changes in the tools. Needs to change the xml generator
-used in zzip (a python script).

-
-Additionally, note that Sourceforge has discontinued their compilefarm
-server laboratory. That makes it unlikely that proper support for
-crossplatform functionality can be provided. Expect a compile problem
-here or there - the code however should be prepared to get around any
-problems easily. Send patches! (especially Linux distributions makers
-are usually not sending their patches to upstream maintainers).
-
-Note: the latest cross platform tests are done indirectly by using
-the build.opensuse.org rpm packaging where one can run "make check"
-just before doing the "make install" of the compiled library.

-
