+TODO List for PEL
+*****************
+
+In addition to the following list, then the source contains a number
+of comments beginning with `TODO' and `FIXME' which marks extra places
+where attention is needed.
+
+The list has been roughly ordered by priority and the release
+targeted.
+
+
+PEL Version 1.0
+---------------
+
+* Add convenience functions.
+ It would be nice to have functions that could give you a particular
+ entry or the embedded thumbnail with just one function call.
+ Manually traversing the directory structure (and repeatedly
+ checking for null pointers) requires too big a knowledge of the
+ structure of JPEG, TIFF, and Exif formats.
+
+
+PEL Version 1.x
+---------------
+
+* Only load necessary data.
+ SF #1210126: instead of parsing the entire JPEG/TIFF image, we
+ should load data as necessary. This will save memory with big
+ images.
+
+* Interpret the MakerNotes.
+ The libexif project already has code for interpretating the
+ MakerNotes for a number of different camera models.
+
+* Handle character encodings of the USER_COMMENT tag.
+ The first eight bytes store the character encoding, but PEL ignores
+ them for now. Using the Multibyte String PHP extension we should
+ be able to convert the data.
+
+* Deal with characters outside Latin-1 in PelEntryWindowsString.
+ This needs testing from people running Windows XP set to a locale
+ different from Latin-1.
+
+
+PEL Version 2.0
+---------------
+
+* Restructure information about tags.
+ Currently information about the tags are stored in several places
+ around the code, making updates difficult. All information about a
+ tag should be stored at one place, maybe by having a class per tag
+ (how well does PHP handle 142 small classes?).
+
+ The information in question is:
+
+ - hex code,
+ - title,
+ - name,
+ - description
+ - format,
+ - components,
+ - valid IFD types,
+ - how to load data,
+ - how to display (the getText() method)
+
+ This will most likely break API compatability and is delayed for
+ PEL 2.
