+TODO over of the next year ;-)
+
+- English documentation
+ we working on it, but we need help !!!!!!!
+ http://openfacts2.berlios.de/wikien/index.php/BerliosProject:Ext4magic
+
+
+- support for ecrypfs in the Magic-function
+ is particularly interesting for Ubuntu user
+
+
+- the new Magic-function for ext3
+ old 0.2.x function is very slow and inaccurate
+ and is not compatible with the Magic-functions of the ext4 in 0.3.x
+ a support for both file systems is planned with 0.4.x
+
+- better support for source code and other text files
+ "file" can not detect the text file type if a long comment at begin of the file
+ therefore the Magic-function recovers not all
+
+ shell example : for a possibility solution approach
+ # file -i ext4magic.c
+ ext4magic.c: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
+ # sed '1,/^$/d' ext4magic.c | file -i -
+ /dev/stdin: text/x-c; charset=us-ascii
+
+
+- ext4 : with the Magic-function it should be possible to recover also some file types
+ if the deleted file has existed with 2 to 4 extents
+ the conditions and preparations are already included
+ the possible individual extents are already collected in the database
+ a function is needed to find out and check the correct order
+
+
+
+Currently known issues
