3 * Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector | |
4 to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs. | |

25853 | 18 * Implement a clean way to use different major modes for |
19 different parts of a buffer. | |
20 | |
21 * Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error | |
22 output to a different filter. | |
23 | |
24 * Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci | |
25 on text properties in the error message lines. | |
26 | |
27 * Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some | |
28 useful sense). | |
29 | |
30 * Make movemail work with IMAP. | |
31 | |
32 * Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files, | |
33 so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes. | |
34 | |
35 * Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file | |
32947 | 36 which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave |
37 Love started on this.] | |
25853 | 38 |
32947 | 39 * Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with |
40 GNU Privacy Guard for encryption. [Code exists but isn't assigned.] | |
25853 | 41 |
42 * Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed | |
43 for undoing. | |
44 | |
45 * Change the Windows NT menu code | |
46 so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids | |
47 regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except | |
48 when the user tries to use the menubar. | |
49 | |
50 This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to | |
51 the main thread, and not return from that message until the main | |
52 thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated | |
53 the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages. | |
27949 | 54 |
55 * Make Emacs work as a Java Bean. | |
29696 | 56 |
32947 | 57 * Implement the design for Unicode-based internal encoding for Mule. |
58 | |
59 * Document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or | |
60 ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases). Here's | |
33827 | 61 a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, artist, |
32947 | 62 ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, completion, |
63 delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, easymenu, | |
64 expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], generic/generic-x [various | |
65 modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit [obsolete?], makesum, midnight | |
66 [other than in Kill Buffer node], mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag, | |
67 mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be | |
68 interactive?], strokes [start from the web page], talk, thingatpt | |
69 [interactive functions?], type-break, vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode | |
70 [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, swedish, feedmail [?], uce, | |
71 bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode, | |

74 other progmodes, probably in separate manual. |

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

84 what else ? |
32947 | 85 |
86 * Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as | |
87 an example how to do part of this. | |
88 | |
89 * Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler | |
90 macros in cl-macs. | |
91 | |
92 * Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). | |
93 | |
94 * Support simultaneous tty and X frames. | |
95 | |
96 * Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling | |
97 properly with variable-pitch faces. | |
98 | |
99 * Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. | |
100 | |
101 * Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char | |
102 mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems. | |
103 They make it difficult to spot the important warnings. | |
104 | |
105 * Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC. | |
33076 | 106 |
107 * Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies | |
108 automatically. | |
109 | |
110 * Update the FAQ. | |
111 | |
112 * Support dynamically-loadable primitive support using libtool and | |
113 support similarly to Guile. [Some work has been done.] | |
33253 | 114 |
115 * Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available. | |
116 [It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.] | |
33471 | 117 |
118 * Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus | |
119 ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the | |
120 environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. | |
121 | |
122 * Investigate using the language environment to set up more things, | |
123 such as the default Ispell dictionary. | |
33827 | 124 |
125 * Improve the GC (generational, incremental). (We may be able to use | |
126 the Boehm collector.) | |
33867 | 127 |
128 * Implement variable aliases, i.e. a `defvaralias' analogous to the | |
129 `defalias' for functions. The implementation should not slow down | |
130 Emacs, and it shouldn't use additional memory, at least not much. | |
131 | |
132 * Port Emacs to GTK+. | |
133 | |
134 * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. | |
135 | |
136 * Implement, in C, a ``focus follows mouse'' mode that selects a window | |
137 when the mouse enters it. | |
138 | |
34029 | 139 * Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3. |
