Status

This library is considered BETA quality and is provided with a full test suite and QA suite. This can be considered for use in production quality systems at this time.

Roadmap

• Consideration for linking (hard/soft) to be added to API
• Make API agnostic to Data Store
• Allow re-rooting of directories if machine MAX directory length exceeded
• Refactor for generic programming
• Refactor for type safety
• Refactor for exception safety
• Consider an API that allows application API as well as disk (Posix) API (drive-demo command line)
• Implement read ahead
