Tasks needed before the next release. * NEW FEATURES ** Face remapping. ** 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. ** Update Speedbar. ** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move). * FATAL ERRORS ** 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. * BUGS ** 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 ** 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. ** 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+ * 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.
