* verilog-mode.el (verilog-beg-of-statement) (verilog-endcomment-reason-re): Support unique case and priority case. (verilog-basic-complete-re): Support localparam lineup. (verilog-beg-of-statement-1): Fix for robustness, unique case. (verilog-set-auto-endcomments): Fix for unique case, always_comb commenting. (verilog-leap-to-case-head): Now support *nested* unique & priority case statements. (verilog-auto-lineup): Make just declarations the default (as it had been). (verilog-leap-to-case-head): Support priority/unique case statements. (verilog-auto-lineup): Rework to give users radio buttons to select the various styles of automatic lineup (verilog-error-regexp-alist): Rework to support the XEmacs style of error regular expressions from compilers, lint tools & simulators. Note that GNU Emacs has made it impossible for a mode to load such things. (electric-verilog-terminate-line, verilog-indent-declaration) (verilog-auto-wiure): Rework for radio button selection of auto-lineup selection of specification of auto lineup. (verilog-beg-of-statement-1): Redesign to support proper operation in additional code, based on testing with auto-lineup. (verilog-calculate-indent, assignments & declarations) (verilog-backward-token): Enhance to support auto-lineup of assignments & declarations. (verilog-in-directive-p, verilog-at-struct-p): New function for easy test of whether we are. (verilog-pretty-declarations, verilog-pretty-expr): Massive rework to support safe execution at almost anyline. (verilog-calc-1): Properly support indenting deep inside generate blocks. (verilog-init-font) Remove definition & use of verilog-init-font, as it is redundant with font-lock-defaults. (verilog-mode): Alter the definition of verilog-font-lock-defualts to avoid circular calls if syntax-ppss is a function (as is the case now in 22.x GNU Emacs) as that function would sometimes call itself, leading to (nearly) infinite recursion (verilog-ovm-begin-re, verilog-ovm-end-re) (verilog-ovm-statement-re, verilog-leap-to-head) (verilog-backward-token): Add support for OVM macros. Some are complete statements, and others open and close scopes like begin and end. (verilog-defun-level-not-generate-re, verilog-defun-level-re) (verilog-defun-level-generate-only-re): Really fix the defun-list compilation issue (verilog-calc-1) (verilog-beg-of-statement): Enhance support for coverpoint, constraint and cross statements (verilog-defun-level-list, verilog-generate-defun-level-list) (verilog-all-defun-level-list): Redo these specifications - it is too hard to support eval-when compile aggregation of lists also built at when-compile time. (verilog-defun-level-list): Place defconsts of variables used in building regular expressions which are built in eval-when-compile bodies in the same eval-when-compile body to facilitate compile without load. (verilog-beg-block-re-ordered): Support indenting virtual/protected tasks and functions. (verilog-defun-level-list,verilog-in-generate-region-p) (verilog-backward-ws&directives, verilog-calc-1): Speed up indentation of some module items (generate items). (verilog-forward-sexp, verilog-leap-to-head): Support stepping across virtual/protected tasks and functions. * verilog-mode.el (verilog-auto-arg, verilog-auto-arg-sort): Allow sorting AUTOARG lists. Suggested by Andrea Fedeli. (verilog-read-sub-decls-line): Fix AUTOWIRE signals getting lost in concatenations. Reported by Yishay Belkind. (verilog-auto-ascii-enum): Support one-hot state machines in AUTOASCIIENUM. Suggested by Lloyd Gomez. (verilog-auto-inst, verilog-auto-inst-port): Include interface modport in AUTOINST and add vl-modport for users. Reported by David Rogoff. (verilog-auto-inout-module, verilog-auto-inst) (verilog-decls-get-interfaces, verilog-insert-definition) (verilog-insert-one-definition, verilog-read-decls) (verilog-read-sub-decls, verilog-read-sub-decls-sig) (verilog-sig-modport, verilog-signals-combine-bus) (verilog-subdecls-get-interfaces): Fix expansion of SystemVerilog interfaces in AUTOINOUTMODULE, AUTOINOUTCOMP, and AUTOINST. Suggested by David Rogoff. (verilog-repair-open-comma): Fix non-insertion of comma when `DEFINE occurs in V2K argument list. Reported by Lane Brooks. (verilog-make-width-expression): Simplify [A-1:0] expression widths to just {A{1'b0}}. (verilog-mode): Cleanup checkdoc warnings. (verilog-auto-inout-module, verilog-signals-matching-dir-re): Add third optional regexp to AUTOINOUTMODULE to allow selecting only inputs/outputs or data type. Suggested by Vasu Kandadi. (next-error-last-buffer): Fix byte-compiler warning. (verilog-auto, verilog-auto-insert-lisp, verilog-auto-inst) (verilog-delete-auto): Add AUTOINSERTLISP to insert arbitrary lisp or shell command text during AUTO expansion. Suggested by Tad Truex. (verilog-read-sub-decls-expr, verilog-read-sub-decls-line) (verilog-read-sub-decls-sig, verilog-symbol-detick-text): Fix dotted nets {a.b,c.d} and excaped identifiers being mis-included in AUTOINOUT. Reported by Matthew Lovell. (verilog-read-always-signals-recurse): Fix AUTORESET "if (a<=b)" causing use of <= assignments. Reported by Alex Reed. (verilog-read-decls): Fix triand, trior, wand, wor to be recognized by AUTOWIRE. Reported by Spencer Isaacson. (verilog-extended-complete-re): Support import "DPI-C" functions. (verilog-read-always-signals-recurse): Fix AUTORESET of "x <= y[a+1:a+1]" to not include a in reset list. Reported by Dan Dever. (verilog-insert-date, verilog-insert-year) (verilog-sk-header-tmpl): Fix verilog-header inserting error on Windows systems. Reported by Michael Potts. (verilog-read-module-name): Fix AUTOINST when the child module declaration's name is a tick define. Reported by Elliot Mednick. (verilog-read-decls): Fix V2K parameter bit subscripts getting passed to next parameter's definition. Reported by Bruce T. (verilog-read-decls): Fix detecting "parameter int" when using AUTOINSTPARAM. Reported by Bruce T. (verilog-goto-defun): Fix goto not finding modules unless first perform a verilog-auto expansion. Suggested by Lawrence Butcher. (verilog-mode): Expand -f flag arguments on entry to mode so verilog-goto-defun will work. Reported by Lawrence Butcher. (verilog-getopt): Expand environment variables in -f file arguments. Suggested by Lawrence Butcher. (verilog-set-define): Fix "Symbol's value as variable is void" when reading enumerations. (verilog-auto-ascii-enum): Fix duplicate labels in AUTOASCIIENUM. Suggested by Stephen Peltan. (verilog-read-defines): Fix reading of enumerations in include files. Reported by Steve Peltan.

Tasks needed before the next release.

* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE

** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.

** Regenerate the pdf versions of the reference cards in etc/refcards/.

** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.

Emacs 22 translators:

LANG	Translator            Status
cs	Pavel Janík           
de	Sven Joachim          
fr	Eric Jacoboni         
pl	Włodek Bzyl           
pt-br	Rodrigo Real          
ru	Alex Ott              
sk	Miroslav Vaško        

** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.

** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.

* BUGS

** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
It is a dangerous design.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html

** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html

** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake.  Those features should not
be part of Gnus.  They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been
minimized.  I don't know what is left to do here.

** Check for modes which bind M-s that conflicts with a new global binding M-s
and change key bindings where necessary.  The current list of modes:

1. Gnus binds `M-s' to `gnus-summary-search-article-forward'.

2. Minibuffer binds `M-s' to `next-matching-history-element'
   (not useful any more since C-s can now search in the history).

3. Shell mode binds `M-s' to `comint-next-matching-input'.
   This key binding can be changed later when we will implement
   incremental search through the shell history.

4. `center-line' in Text mode was already moved to the text formatting
   keymap as `M-o M-s' (thus this binding is not necessary any more
   in `nroff-mode-map' too and can be removed now from the nroff mode
   because it can now use the global key binding `M-o M-s' `center-line').

5. PCL-CVS binds `M-s' to `cvs-status', and log-edit-mode binds it to
   `log-edit-comment-search-forward'.  Perhaps search commands
   on the global key binding `M-s' are useless in these modes.

** [e-mail], 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg02091.html

Fixed by this change?

2007-11-09  Vinicius Jose Latorre  <[e-mail]>

	* ps-print.el: [...]
	(ps-do-despool): If ps-lpr-switches is not a list, force it to be one.

** In C, use EMACS_INT for variables and structure members
for buffer/string positions.  E.g. struct it, struct text_pos.

* DOCUMENTATION

** Clean up Emacs.app references in code and documentation.

** Document new font backend

** Document XEmbed support

** Check the Emacs Tutorial.

The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
likewise in the respective language.

After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
names of the people who have checked it.
