(f90-calculate-indent): Fix treatment of first statement in buffer (broken by 2004-11-24 change).

Tasks needed before the next release.

* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE

** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.

* 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 <[e-mail]>.

** 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).

** Adapt mouse-sel-mode to mouse-1-click-follows-link.


* FATAL ERRORS

** Make unexec handle memory mapping policy of the latest versions of Linux.

** 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.

* BUGS

** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:

Message-Id: <[e-mail]>
From: "Piet van Oostrum" <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
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.


* 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.
