Tasks needed before the next release. * NEW FEATURES ** Face remapping. ** Make Rmail find the best version of movemail. To be done by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>. ** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail gracefully if something isn't supported over Tramp. To be done by Andre Spiegel <spiegel@gnu.org>. ** define-minor-mode should not put :require into defcustom. See msg from rms to emacs-devel on 21 Dec. * FATAL ERRORS ** Investigate face cache related crash. Indications: Face cache seems to have been cleared, but redisplay uses an invalidated face_id with FACE_FROM_ID which then returns a NULL pointer. Said to happen with isearch faces. ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings. ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an invalid pointer from string_free_list. * LOSSAGE ** Clean up flymake.el to follow Emacs Lisp conventions. ** Fix up url-ldap.el. ** url/*.el has lots of `(declare (special ...))' which are meaningless. What's that trying to do? * BUGS ** Incomplete overlay mouse-face highlight bug (Ralf Angeli, Oct 18) ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors: Message-Id: <4121-Tue23Mar2004165249+0100-piet@cs.uu.nl> From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl> To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback Symptoms: C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/ The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4: ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36... ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host Trying 192.87.102.36... Connected to ftp.nluug.nl. Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any further. I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent. * GTK RELATED BUGS ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling. * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS ** Strange text scrolling with Emacs + GTK > I could reproduce the problem with the latest CVS. > > % emacs -Q > M-x info RET > M-> > C-l > C-x ( C-u - 1 C-v C-x ) > C-x e e e e ... > > I see the problem around "CC mode" and "Forms". It is not specific for the first line of a buffer. Rather it happens for lines which are indented but the indentation is controlled by a display property and the newline is part of that display property -- in that case, the indentation is not recognized for the first display line. ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay. Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g. (space 'left-margin) A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error is encountered. ** Problem with modeline and window margins: The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin, rather than at the right window edge. emacs -Q (set-window-margins nil 25 25) C-x 2 ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net> Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file. 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'. 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face a. check width and give it the value `narrow'; b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt; c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'); d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'). 4. Set for current session. 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files. 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU. The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less). I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example: Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+ ** Partial highlighting of wrapped overlay From: Ralf Angeli <angeli@iwi.uni-sb.de> Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:09:19 +0200 If you put (let* ((length (+ (- (window-width) (current-column)) 40)) (start (point)) (end (+ (point) length)) (string (make-string length ?x)) ov) (insert string) (setq ov (make-overlay start end)) (overlay-put ov 'mouse-face 'highlight) (overlay-put ov 'display string)) into the *scratch* buffer and type `C-x C-e' with point at the last parenthesis, you will get a string which does not fit into the line and has to be wrapped. If you move over it with your mouse, you should see that only the part on the second line is being highlighted. The full string is highlighted only if the 'display property is not set. * DOCUMENTATION ** Document Custom Themes. ** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual. ** Update the Emacs manual. *** Update man/info.texi. *** Update man/ack.texi. ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files. ** Update AUTHORS. ** Reorder NEWS entries. ** Check the Emacs manual. Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness regarding recent changes by at least two people. After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the people who have checked it.
