Roadmap
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The development roadmap is maintained in ``ROADMAP.md`` at the project
|
|
|
|
|
root. Key phases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Decompression MVP** — Done. Portable decompressor, CLI tool,
|
|
|
|
|
CMake build system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2026-03-29 16:06:39 -04:00
|
|
|
2. **Original Compression Engine** — Done. LZ77+Huffman compressor
|
2026-03-29 18:23:50 -04:00
|
|
|
with custom Huffman trees, full backward compatibility, and UC2
|
|
|
|
|
personality (``-q`` for scripting). Automated DOSBox-X round-trip
|
|
|
|
|
validates 4+5 files in both directions.

|
|
|
3. **Modernized Master-Block Deduplication** — Done.
|
|
|
|
|
CDC with Gear hash, Merkle DAG with content addressing,
|
|
|
|
|
cross-archive block store, SimHash near-duplicate detection,
|
|
|
|
|
and delta compression. All Phase 3 items complete.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Modern Compression Backends** — ANS entropy coding,
|
|
|
|
|
zstd-inspired dictionary compression, content-aware preprocessing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. **Quantum-Resistant Encryption** — CRYSTALS-Kyber + AES-256-GCM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. **DOS / FreeDOS / Retro-Computing** — DJGPP toolchain, vintage
|
|
|
|
|
hardware support, self-extracting archives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. **Cryptographic Integrity & Timestamping** — BLAKE3 hashing,
|
|
|
|
|
OpenTimestamps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. **Decentralized & Cloud Integration** — IPFS pinning,
|
|
|
|
|
content-addressable dedup, cloud archiving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. **Zero-Knowledge Proofs** — Privacy-preserving archive verification.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. **Ecosystem Integrations** — libarchive plugin, streaming dedup
|
|
|
|
|
ingestion, file manager plugins.
