   1 Tasks needed before the next release.
   2
   3 * TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
   4
   5 ** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
   6 has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.
   7
   8 * NEW FEATURES
   9
  10 ** Face remapping.
  11
  12 ** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail
  13 gracefully if something isn't supported over Tramp.
  14 To be done by Andre Spiegel <spiegel@gnu.org>.
  15
  16 ** define-minor-mode should not put :require into defcustom.
  17 See msg from rms to emacs-devel on 21 Dec.
  18
  19 ** Update Speedbar.
  20
  21 ** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move).
  22
  23 ** Adapt mouse-sel-mode to mouse-1-click-follows-link.
  24
  25
  26 * FATAL ERRORS
  27
  28 ** Make unexec handle memory mapping policy of the latest versions of Linux.
  29
  30 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
  31
  32 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
  33 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
  34
  35
  36 * LOSSAGE
  37
  38 ** Clean up flymake.el to follow Emacs Lisp conventions.
  39
  40 * BUGS
  41
  42 ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:
  43
  44 Message-Id: <4121-Tue23Mar2004165249+0100-piet@cs.uu.nl>
  45 From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl>
  46 To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
  47 Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
  48
  49 Symptoms:
  50
  51 C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
  52
  53 The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
  54 router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
  55
  56 ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
  57 Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
  58 ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
  59 Trying 192.87.102.36...
  60 Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
  61
  62 Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
  63 further.
  64
  65 I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
  66 time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
  67
  68
  69 * GTK RELATED BUGS
  70
  71 ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
  72
  73
  74 * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
  75
  76 ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
  77
  78 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
  79      (space 'left-margin)
  80
  81 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
  82 is encountered.
  83
  84
  85 * DOCUMENTATION
  86
  87 ** Document Custom Themes.
  88
  89 ** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual.
  90
  91 ** Update the Emacs manual.
  92
  93 *** Update man/info.texi.
  94
  95 *** Update man/ack.texi.
  96
  97 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
  98
  99 ** Update AUTHORS.
 100
 101 ** Reorder NEWS entries.
 102
 103 ** Check the Emacs manual.
 104
 105 Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
 106 regarding recent changes by at least two people.  After each file
 107 name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
 108 people who have checked it.
