|
|
3 * Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector
|
|
4 to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs.
|
|
5
|
32515
|
6 * Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.
|
|
7
|
|
8 * Implement other text formatting properties.
|
|
9 ** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
|
|
10 ** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
|
|
11 Don't break the line between two characters that have the
|
|
12 same value of this property.
|
|
13 ** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line.
|
|
14
|
32947
|
15 * Implement something better than the current Refill mode. This
|
|
16 probably needs some primitive support.
|
32515
|
17
|
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,
|
|
72 spell, texinfo, underline, cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?],
|
33362
|
73 pcomplete, assoc, xml, cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual);
|
|
74 other progmodes, probably in separate manual.
|
32947
|
75
|
|
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.
|
31733
|
80
|
32947
|
81 * Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of
|
33362
|
82 keymap.c). What should it do apart from being opaque ?
|
|
83 multiple inheritance ? faster where-is ? no more fix_submap_inheritance ?
|
|
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.
