NAME
todo - TODO list

libcucul

  API-dependent stuff

•   support for holes in canvas (eg. not full EOL)

•   support for TAB

•   allow to change the canvas size in a per-frame basis.

•   export attribute parsing functions such as attr_to_ansi4fg etc.

  API-independent stuff

•   Brightness, contrast support for bitmaps (the functions are here, we just need to fill them)

•   Error distribution dithering

•   Add a random factor to the random ditherer. No need to change the API for that, we can just pass 'random:10' instead of "random" to the cucul_set_bitmap_dithering() function.

•   Implement the colour modes set in cucul_set_bitmap_color(). For the moment only "full16" and "16" are implemented.

•   Fix the thin ellipse rendering (currently it's only |s and -s, we could make them smoother by using ' ` , etc).

•   better mask support in cucul_blit()

•   optimise exporters so that they do not allocate huge blocks of memory when they only need half of it.

libcaca

  API-dependent stuff

•   beep support

  API-independent stuff

•   Write a Linux console output

•   Better keyboard driver in an X terminal, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zepp/message/381

•   Unicode support for X11 (maybe through Xft)

•   fix Unicode support for ncurses (look at the nano source, it gets it right)

•   and Jylam wants a framebuffer output

•   write sample code for a text edit widget with cursor support

Language bindings

  Needed

•   Fix Python

•   Fix Perl

•   C# (it's the next big thing, believe me)

•   PHP (together with the HTML output it would allow for nice web applications)

  Not that important

•   Ruby

•   Java

Kernel mode

•   keyboard support

•   printf/fprintf are missing

•   Improve malloc/free so that we can reuse freed memory

Documentation

•   Write a tutorial.

•   Draw a nicer logo

Applications

cacaview

•   File browser

•   open ANSI files

•   save in different formats

cacadraw

•   Only a skeleton exists yet. A modern ANSI editor that can also do Unicode.
