Tasks needed before the next release. * NEW FEATURES ** Test the mbox branch of Rmail. ** Install the mbox branch of Rmail. ** Face remapping. ** Let mouse-1 follow links. ** 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>. * 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. * GTK RELATED BUGS ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling. * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS ** 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 cursor border around images and window-margins: The border around the image when the cursor is on the image flows into the right fringe and margin. (progn (auto-image-file-mode 1) (find-file (concat data-directory "splash.xpm")) (set-window-margins (selected-window) 25 25)) ** 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+ ** Clicking on partially visible lines fails From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org> Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200 I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url) partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position (cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically recentered version. That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the screen. ** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler@lucent.com> Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200 1. start emacs -q --no-site-file 2. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t 3. split-window-vertically now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards ** line-spacing and (recenter -1) From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net> Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST) (recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window if line-spacing is set to positive integer. Start emacs -Q, and evaluate below: (progn (setq line-spacing 1) (dotimes (i (window-height)) (insert "\n" (int-to-string i))) (recenter -1)) Then, point is displayed at the center of the window. But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3. ** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net> Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST) Electric-pop-up-window does not work well if truncate long lines disabled and/or `line-spacing' is set to positive integer. For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` . Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible. fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess Electric-pop-up-window can use it. * 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 proof-read 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.
