UC2 now talks during operations, continuing the original's tradition: $ uc2 -w archive.uc2 files... UC2 compression level: Tight Created archive.uc2 (3 files, 0 dirs, 1 master, 4096 bytes) Everything went OK $ uc2 -t archive.uc2 Testing archive integrity... Everything went OK $ uc2 -h UC2 3.0.0 (UltraCompressor II) "Fast, reliable and superior compression." Messages are warm, confident, and slightly quirky — not a fun flag, just how UC2 talks. Suppressed by -q for scripting: $ uc2 -qt archive.uc2 # silent, exit code only Compression level names: Fast (2), Normal (3), Tight (4), Ultra (5). "Everything went OK" directly from the original (MAIN.CPP:918). Completes Phase 2 (Original Compression Engine).

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.
|
|
|
|
2. **Original Compression Engine** — Done. LZ77+Huffman compressor
|
|
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.
