snapshot - What is the state of the NIFF SDK?
- VERSION
- WHAT'S NEW
- BUG FIXES
- TODO
I made some significant progress before I got 1.01 out so here is 1.02.instead. niffdump is _much_ improved.
1.02
- Removed sample RIFF files
- Reorganized NIFFSDK into RIFFIO, NIFFIO, and NIFF components.
- Changed build system.
- Autoconfiguration under UNIX
- Everything under CVS
- Documentation in text, man, pod, and HTML
- A few simple regression tests.
- Ran a few checks for memory leaks - looks good.
- Replaced some functions added in 1.0 by Cindy Grande with similar ones.
NIFFIOFilePrepare() and NIFFIOFileWriteCLT().
- NIFFIOStorageNewSTDC(), NIFFIOFileNewSTDC() for simple initialization.
- NIFFIOStoreStbl(), NIFFIOStoreCLT(), NIFFIOStoreDefaultCLT() for
NIFFIOStorage operations on special objects.
- NIFFIOStorage now OWNS its NIFFIOFile. Don't call NIFFIOFileDelete()!
- Slightly modified niff.h
- No more tabs in source
- fcc.c: Created macro RIFFIO_FOURCC_MIN for string lengths that will
hold a FOURCC. Don't use the constant ``5'' anymore.
- Added INFO chunks to NIFFIOCLTMakeDefaultEntries().
- Improved niffdump considerably. Check it out! It decodes many more
chunks and a few tags.
- niffio/names.c: functions to convert between NIFF Ids/enumerated types and
strings. (Still need many more)
- niffio/clt.c: don't store length of default CLT array anymore, used sentinel.
- niffio/clt.c: added RIFF INFO chunks to default chunk length table.
.
- RIFFIOChunkStackPush() used wrong expression to check for a full stack.
- STDCRIFFRead() had if statements without parenthesis
- Made sure CPP line continuations had whitespace in front of them.
.
- Find out what developers _really_ need this thing to do.
- Steve might want a function that reads a String Table into an array
of strings. Sort of the inverse of NIFFIOStoreStbl().
- Need code that writes standard, example NIFF files for
regression tests.
- Keep adding chunks and tags to niffdump.
- Write a real user's guide.
- Write more example code.
- Implement more regression tests.
- Automate memory leak checks.
- Be explicit about what happens during parsing errors.
- write functions to convert between NIFF enumerated types and strings.
- niffdump should handle all niff objects
- Add parser callback registration functions for RIFF INFO chunks.
- niffdump should generate output in a standard format for a future
niff compiler (useful for more regression tests).
- write a niff compiler (useful for regression tests). Syntax similar
to RIFF.
