Tasks needed before the next release. * NEW FEATURES ** 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. ** Fix up url-ldap.el. * BUGS ** Mailabbrev should quote addresses to correspond to RFC 822. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/27585 ** The '@' character should not expand addresses in mailabbrev See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/27585 ** Bug in url-http-parse-headers, reported in From: Vivek Dasmohapatra <vivek@zeus.com> Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 16:13:13 +0100 Fetching a url with url-retrieve can reult in an anrbitrary buffer being killed if a 401 (or possibly a 407) result is encountered: url-http-parse-headers calls url-http-handle-authentication, which can call url-retrieve. This results in the current buffer being killed, and a new http buffer being generated. However, when the old http buffer is killed, emacs picks the top buffer from the list as the new current buffer, so by the time we get to the end of url-http-parse-headers, _that_ buffer is marked as dead even though it is not necessarily a url buffer, so next time the url libraries reap their dead buffers, an innocent bystander buffer is killed instead (and an obsolete http buffer may be left lying around too). A possible fix (which I am currently using) is to call set-buffer on the return value of url-http-parse-headers: (case url-http-response-status (401 ;; The request requires user authentication. The response ;; MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a ;; challenge applicable to the requested resource. The ;; client MAY repeat the request with a suitable ;; Authorization header field. (url-mark-buffer-as-dead (current-buffer)) (set-buffer (url-http-handle-authentication nil))) etc .... which makes sure that it is the right http buffer that is current when we come to mark the http buffers as dead. * 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+ ** 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. ** 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 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.
