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. ** Update release dates of manuals. ** Spell check the manuals. ** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals. ** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals; make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted. ** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other face name prefixes should be in it for good results. ** Update AUTHORS. ** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc. ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them. ** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF. ** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons. ** Ensure MH-E 8.0 has been released. Assigned to Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>. * BUGS ** Stefan Monnier's March 20 bug report about 3d boxes in header line. ** Is there a basic problem with cl-byte-compile-compiler-macro? ** Markus Gritsch's report about Emacs looping on Windoze with the following .emacs file, and then reduce Emacs frame width to "something quite narrow": (setq-default truncate-lines t) (custom-set-variables '(hscroll-margin 20) '(hscroll-step 1) ) ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows. TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100% CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations. Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c. In its current form, it sys_select says the socket is ready, so we call server_accept_connection which again calls accept() which returns -1 with errno == WSAEWOULDBLOCK (10035) indicating that there is no pending connection to accept. It seems that to fix this, w32 server sockets must use WSAAsyncSelect + FD_ACCEPT to request notifications of incoming connections... * DOCUMENTATION ** Add a node to the Lisp manual describing key sequences from the Lisp point of view. ** Check man/info.texi. ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files. Please record your name here and say which part of the distribution you're going to handle.
