Tasks needed before the next release.
-* 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 <spiegel@gnu.org>.
-
-** define-minor-mode should not put :require into defcustom.
-See msg from rms to emacs-devel on 21 Dec.
-
-** Update Speedbar.
-
-* 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.
-
-** url/*.el has lots of `(declare (special ...))' which
-are meaningless. What's that trying to do?
-
-* 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:/
+* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
-The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
-router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
+** `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.
-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.
+** Update release dates of manuals.
-Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
-further.
+** Spell check the manuals.
-I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
-time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
+** 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.
-* GTK RELATED BUGS
+** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
+face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
-** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
-
-
-* REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
-
-** Strange text scrolling with Emacs + GTK
-
-> I could reproduce the problem with the latest CVS.
->
-> % emacs -Q
-> M-x info RET
-> M->
-> C-l
-> C-x ( C-u - 1 C-v C-x )
-> C-x e e e e ...
->
-> I see the problem around "CC mode" and "Forms".
+** Update AUTHORS.
-It is not specific for the first line of a buffer.
+** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
-Rather it happens for lines which are indented but the
-indentation is controlled by a display property and
-the newline is part of that display property -- in
-that case, the indentation is not recognized for the
-first display line.
+** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
+** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.
-** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
+* NEW FEATURES
-Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
- (space 'left-margin)
+** Update Speedbar.
-A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
-is encountered.
+* FATAL ERRORS
+** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
-** Problem with modeline and window margins:
+** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
+invalid pointer from string_free_list.
-The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin,
-rather than at the right window edge.
+** Emacs on Windows crashes reading JPEG images from files.
-emacs -Q
-(set-window-margins nil 25 25)
-C-x 2
+The problem is caused by the Emacs executable and the image library
+having multiple, incompatible copies of the run-time code, which can
+happen when mixing a MSVC build of Emacs with a MinGW build of the
+jpeg library (or the other way around). The fix is straightforward
+and has already been posted on the developers' list, but it is on the
+back burner waiting for a legal comment or an alternate implementation
+(around 30 lines of code).
+** goeran@uddeborg.se's Sep 13 crash report
+about trying to display the invalid gif file poison.gif.
-** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
+* BUGS
-From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
-Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
+** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
-1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
+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.
-2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
+** Bug in ebrowse
-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').
+Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 17:35:48 +0200
+From: Markus Gritsch <gritsch@iue.tuwien.ac.at>
-4. Set for current session.
+the C++ header file which led to the problematic BROWSE file reads
-5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
+namespace test {
+ class Base
+ {
+ };
-6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
+ class B : public Base
+ {
+ };
+}
-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).
+class A : public test::Base
+{
+};
-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:
+The *Tree* is then displayed as
-Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
+ *Globals*
+ test
+ test::Base
+ test::B
+The class A seems to be missing.
