|
|
|
3 * TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
5 ** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
|
|
|
6 has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 ** Update release dates of manuals.
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
10 ** Spell check the manuals.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 ** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals.
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 ** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
|
|
|
15 make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 ** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
|
|
|
18 face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 ** Update AUTHORS.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 ** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 ** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 ** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME
|
|
|
29 and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons.
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 ** Ensure MH-E 8.0 has been released.
|
|
|
32 Assigned to Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 * NEW FEATURES
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 ** Rework how fringe bitmaps are defined and used.
|
|
|
37 Currently, bitmap usage and bitmap appearence are "mixed-up" in a
|
|
|
38 one-level representation. It would be cleaner to split the
|
|
|
39 representation into a two-level model where first level maps
|
|
|
40 bitmap usage to a bitmap name, and second level maps bitmap name to
|
|
|
41 a bitmap appearence.
|
|
|
42 [Assigned to KFS]
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 * FATAL ERRORS
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
|
|
|
49 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 * BUGS
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 ** Ronan Keryell's Sep 23 bug about "tramp sudo:: and version control on RCS"
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
|
|
|
58 excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
|
|
|
59 CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
|
|
|
60 Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 * DOCUMENTATION
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 ** Add a node to the Lisp manual describing key sequences from the
|
|
|
65 Lisp point of view.
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 ** Check man/info.texi.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
