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 ** 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). ** 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. * 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. * DOCUMENTATION ** Document Custom Themes. ** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual. *** Update lispref/README. ** Update the Emacs manual. *** Update man/info.texi. ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files. Policy document admin/notes/years must be updated before making further progress on this task!!! Please record your name here and say which part of the distribution you're going to handle.
