| # Roadmap |
| |
| Short term: |
| |
| - Do lots of TODOs. |
| - Implement coroutines, for streaming decoding. |
| - Finish the GIF decoder. |
| - Write the PNG decoder. |
| - Write the JPEG decoder. |
| - Write the PNG encoder. |
| - Design an image API that works with all these, including animated GIF. |
| - Write some example programs, maybe cpng a la cjpeg and cwebp. |
| - Add compatibility tests, benchmarks, code size comparison. |
| - Release as open source. |
| |
| Medium term: |
| |
| - Write the BMP/ICO decoder. |
| - Write the TIFF decoder. |
| - Write the WEBP decoder. |
| - Write the JPEG encoder. |
| - Get to 100% compatibility, on a large web crawl corpus, with libpng etc. |
| - Optimize the codecs; benchmark comparably to libpng etc. Might require SIMD. |
| - Ensure code size compares favorably to libpng etc. |
| - Fuzz it, both for crashers and for different output to libpng etc. |
| |
| Long term: |
| |
| - Ship with Google Chrome: safer code, smaller binaries, no regressions. |
| - Ship a version 1.0: stabilize the language and library APIs. |
| - Write a language spec. |
| - Generate Go code. |
| - Generate Rust code. |
| |
| Very long term: |
| |
| - Other file formats? Fonts? PDF? Audio? Video? |
| - Other image operations? Image scaling that's both safe and fast? |
