cairo/ROADMAP
Carl Worth 4c37790a22 Add 'consistent error handling' to 1.0 roadmap. (This isn't new, we just forgot to list it here before).
Big cleanup to remove finished items. Also, split the file up to separate TODO items that affect the API from items that do not.

Here are some quick notes as far as a cairo roadmap goes.
See also the TODO file for a different view, (less organized, but
often in more detail, particularly for the API Shakeup work in
progress).
cairo 1.0 release requirements
==============================
Implementation work
-------------------
I1. Fix clipping to be sane
Dificulty: moderate
Status: cworth has started looking at this
I2. Real PostScript/PDF fallbacks (cairo_meta_surface_t)
Difficulty: hard
Status: otaylor has drafted a plan or two on the list
API Issues (more detail in TODO file)
-------------------------------------
✓A1. Add cairo_paint
Difficulty: moderate or moderate to minor
Dependencies: much easier after [I1]. needs some cleanups from [A4]
Status: Done
✓A2. Add cairo_mask
Difficulty: moderate
Status: Done
A3. Add cairo_begin/end/get_group
Difficulty: easy to hard (depending on how sophisticated an
implementation is acceptable, and whether the
cairo_meta_surface_t mentioned in [I2] is done)
Status: cworth sent API proposal to the list
(still some unresolved API issues)
✓A4. Make set_source consistent
Difficulty: easy
Dependencies: needs [A2,A3] to avoid losing functionality,
(but we may just live with that as we've now got
a circular dependency)
Status: Done.
✓A5. Add cairo_clip/fill/stroke_preserve
Difficulty: easy
Status: Done.
✓A6. Just eliminate a bunch of functions:
✓ cairo_set_target_*
✓ cairo_copy
✓ cairo_surface_set_repeat/matrix/filter
✓ cairo_show_surface
Difficulty: trivial
Dependencies: eliminating cairo_show_surface depends on [A1]
Status: Done.
A7. cairo_surface_mark_dirty
Difficulty: trivial to add API, moderate to actually optimize
based on it
Status: cworth has sent API proposal to list
A8. cairo_format_t:
Difficulty: moderate. It's just going through and examining
each use of cairo_format_t, but there are a lot
of them.
Status: not started, there is a rough plan in TODO
A9. consistent error handling for all objects
Difficulty: Easy to implement to get the API right. Hard to test.
Status: otaylor and cworth have both contributed patches. Almost done.
Performance work
----------------
✓P1. Make pixel-aligned rectangle compositing fast
Difficulty: moderate to easy
Status: Done.
P2. Generate better trapezoids to go easier on the rasterizer
Difficulty: moderate to hard
Status: cworth drafted a plan to the list
