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.
