If the thread cancelation does not implies any change, then we are very
near the definitive API specifications for version 3 so we could
"freeze" the API. Some last feature will only add a type in enumeration
(LZO compression, RSA encryption, etc.), but class, function or methods
definitions should not change at all.

My current actions are the following in order of priority:
- - documentation (review all in HTML format, API documentation first)
- - finish strong encryption (password from interactive question, or from
file, some few other strong encryptions algorithms)
- - LZO compression if time allows it (all development stop at end of
November for 2.2.0 pre-release phase)
