7 to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs. | |

10 decent single definition of RTF?] | |

21 |
25853 | 22 * Implement a clean way to use different major modes for |
23 different parts of a buffer. | |
24 | |
25 * Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error | |
26 output to a different filter. | |
27 | |
28 * Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci | |
29 on text properties in the error message lines. | |
30 | |
31 * Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some | |
32 useful sense). | |
33 | |
34 * Make movemail work with IMAP. | |
35 | |
36 * Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files, | |
37 so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes. | |
38 | |
39 * Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file | |
32947 | 40 which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave |
41 Love started on this.] | |
25853 | 42 |
32947 | 43 * Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with |
44 GNU Privacy Guard for encryption. [Code exists but isn't assigned.] | |
25853 | 45 |
46 * Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed | |
47 for undoing. | |
48 | |
49 * Change the Windows NT menu code | |
50 so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids | |
51 regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except | |
52 when the user tries to use the menubar. | |
53 | |
54 This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to | |
55 the main thread, and not return from that message until the main | |
56 thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated | |
57 the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages. | |
27949 | 58 |
32947 | 59 * Implement the design for Unicode-based internal encoding for Mule. |
60 | |
61 * Document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or | |
62 ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases). Here's | |
33827 | 63 a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, artist, |
32947 | 64 ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, completion, |
65 delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, easymenu, | |
66 expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], generic/generic-x [various | |
67 modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit [obsolete?], makesum, midnight | |
68 [other than in Kill Buffer node], mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag, | |
69 mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be | |
70 interactive?], strokes [start from the web page], talk, thingatpt | |
71 [interactive functions?], type-break, vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode | |
72 [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, swedish, feedmail [?], uce, | |
73 bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode, | |
74 spell, texinfo, underline, cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?], | |

76 other progmodes, probably in separate manual. |

78 * Get some major packages installed: W3/url (development version needs | |
79 significant work), PSGML, Mule-UCS, Tramp (?). Check the | |
80 assignments file for other packages which might go in and have been | |
81 missed. | |

86 what else ? |
32947 | 87 |
88 * Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as | |
89 an example how to do part of this. | |
90 | |
91 * Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler | |
92 macros in cl-macs. | |
93 | |
94 * Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). | |
95 | |
96 * Support simultaneous tty and X frames. | |
97 | |
98 * Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling | |
99 properly with variable-pitch faces. | |
100 | |
101 * Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. | |
102 | |
103 * Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char | |
104 mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems. | |
105 They make it difficult to spot the important warnings. | |
106 | |
107 * Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC. | |
33076 | 108 |
109 * Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies | |
110 automatically. | |
111 | |
112 * Update the FAQ. | |
113 | |
33253 | 114 * Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available. |
115 [It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.] | |
33471 | 116 |
117 * Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus | |
118 ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the | |
119 environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. | |
120 | |
35583 | 121 * Investigate using the language environment (or locale?) to set up |
122 more things, such as the default Ispell dictionary, calendar | |
123 holidays... | |
33827 | 124 |
125 * Improve the GC (generational, incremental). (We may be able to use | |
126 the Boehm collector.) | |
33867 | 127 |
34333 | 128 * Port Emacs to GTK+. (Relevant work has been done already.) |
33867 | 129 |
130 * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. | |
131 | |
132 * Implement, in C, a ``focus follows mouse'' mode that selects a window | |
133 when the mouse enters it. | |
134 | |
34029 | 135 * Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3. |
34333 | 136 |
137 * Implement some variety of (non-gtk) drag-and-drop support under X. | |
34675 | 138 Using libdnd might be a good start. |
139 | |
140 * Remove the limitation that window and frame widths and heights can | |
141 be only full columns/lines. | |
34749 | 142 |
143 * Add horizontal scroll bars. | |
35157 | 144 |
145 * Integrate Vroonhof's Custom themes code and make it do useful | |
36084 | 146 things. [The integration is partly done.] |
35318 | 147 |
148 * Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's | |
149 size and its position from lines instead of characters. | |
36084 | 150 |
151 * Adapt the gnuserv/gnudoit features for server/emacsclient. | |

154 They should use find-file-literally and `no-conversion' instead. |
37111 | 155 |
156 * Investigate using GNU Lightning or similar system for incremental | |
37374 | 157 compilation of selected bytecode functions to subrs. Converting CCL |
158 programs to native code is probably the first thing to try, though. | |

163 another buffer but not written yet, print a warning. | |
164 | |
38543 | 165 * Add support for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) rendering to |

39373 | 167 |
168 * Use the XIE X extension, if available, for image display. | |
39900 | 169 |
