3 | If you are ready to start working on any of these TODO items, we |
4 | appreciate your help; please write to emacs-devel@gnu.org so we can be | |
5 | aware that the problem is being addressed, and talk with you how to do | |
7bea57c9 | 6 | it best. Since Emacs is an FSF-copyrighted package, please be |
2255d5b4 RS |
7 | prepared to sign legal papers to transfer the copyright on your work |
8 | to the FSF. | |

ba1c68de | 10 | * Small but important fixes needed in existing features: |
a9c1a157 | 11 | |
125fbe81 RS |
12 | ** revert-buffer should eliminate overlays and the mark. |
13 | ||
f98abf6d RS |
14 | ** erase-buffer should perhaps disregard read-only properties of text. |
15 | ||
30c56b97 LT |
16 | ** Make occur correctly handle matches that span more than one line, |
17 | as well as overlapping matches. | |
18 | ||
d3a403e5 | 19 | ** Fix the kill/yank treatment of invisible text. At the moment, |
b9e6b498 | 20 | invisible text is placed in the kill-ring, so that the contents of |
2345130a SM |
21 | the ring may not correspond to the text as displayed to the user. |
22 | It ought to be possible to omit text which is invisible (due to a | |
b9e6b498 GM |
23 | text-property, overlay, or selective display) from the kill-ring. |
24 | ||
6f771c32 RS |
25 | ** Change the way define-minor-mode handles autoloading. |
26 | It should not generate :require. Or :require in defcustom | |
27 | should not be recorded in the user's custom-set-variables call. | |
28 | ||
4e07258f RS |
29 | ** The buttons at the top of a custom buffer should not omit |
30 | variables whose values are currently hidden. | |
31 | ||
ec0cf966 RS |
32 | ** Clean up the variables in browse-url. Perhaps use a shell command string to |
33 | specify the browser instead of the mushrooming set of functions. | |
34 | See also ESR's proposal for a BROWSER environment variable | |
35 | <URL:http://www.catb.org/~esr/BROWSER/browse-url.patch>. | |
36 | ||
528b6abc RS |
37 | ** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move). |
38 | ||
39 | ** Make occur handle multi-line matches cleanly with context. | |
40 | ||
f98abf6d RS |
41 | ** In Custom buffers, put the option that turns a mode on or off first, |
42 | using a heuristic of some kind? | |
43 | ||
44 | ** Define recompute-arg and recompute-arg-if for fix_command to use. | |
45 | See rms message of 11 Dec 05. | |
46 | ||
7c14546c JD |
47 | ** Height returned by frame-parameter ... and height given to |
48 | make-frame does not mean the same thing. The former includes menu and | |
49 | tool bar lines, the latter don't. frame-parameter should return height | |
50 | without menu and tool bar lines. | |
51 | ||
f98abf6d RS |
52 | ** In Emacs Info, examples of using Customize should be clickable |
53 | and they should create Custom buffers. | |
54 | ||
321e4870 RS |
55 | ** The toolbar should show keyboard equivalents in its tooltips. |
56 | ||
ba1c68de | 57 | * Important features: |
a9c1a157 | 58 | |
ba1c68de | 59 | ** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families, |
321e4870 RS |
60 | list fonts, display a font as a sample, etc. [fx is looking at |
61 | multilingual font selection for the Unicode branch of Emacs.] | |
5e101746 | 62 | |
09d04fb3 RS |
63 | ** Rewrite the face code to be simpler, clearer and faster. |
64 | ||
ba1c68de | 65 | ** Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF. [Is there actually a |
c51b37fd | 66 | decent single definition of RTF? Maybe see info at |
1b2105d9 EZ |
67 | http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/.] This task seems to be addressed |
68 | by http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/emacs-rtf/, which is still in | |
69 | very early stages. | |
6165b6e3 | 70 | |
ba1c68de | 71 | ** Implement something better than the current Refill mode. This |
a9c1a157 RS |
72 | probably needs some primitive support. |
73 | ||
ba6be78d | 74 | ** Add a command to make a "Local Variables" section in the current buffer |
07ff1e4b RS |
75 | and/or add a variable to the list. |
76 | ||
ba1c68de | 77 | ** Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling |
a9c1a157 RS |
78 | properly with variable-pitch faces. |
79 | ||
ba1c68de | 80 | ** Implement a smoother vertical scroll facility, one that allows |
d3a403e5 SM |
81 | C-v to scroll through a tall image. The primitive operations |
82 | posn-at-point and posn-at-x-y should now make it doable in elisp. | |
a9c1a157 | 83 | |
6ca1c497 RS |
84 | ** Implement intelligent search/replace, going beyond query-replace |
85 | (see http://graphics.csail.mit.edu/~rcm/chi04.pdf). | |
86 | ||
ba1c68de SM |
87 | ** Implement other text formatting properties. |
88 | *** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page. | |
89 | *** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this". | |
6165b6e3 EZ |
90 | Don't break the line between two characters that have the |
91 | same value of this property. | |
ba1c68de | 92 | *** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line. |
6165b6e3 | 93 | |
ec0cf966 RS |
94 | ** Internationalize Emacs's messages. |
95 | ||
49322539 RS |
96 | ** Install mmc@maruska.dyndns.org's no-flicker change. |
97 | ||
07ff1e4b RS |
98 | ** Add a "current vertical pixel level" value that goes with point, |
99 | so that motion commands can also move through tall images. | |
100 | This value would be to point as window-vscroll is to window-start. | |
101 | ||
ec0cf966 RS |
102 | ** Address internationalization of symbols names essentially |
103 | as documentation, e.g. in command names and Custom. | |
a9c1a157 | 104 | |
ba1c68de | 105 | ** Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. [This |
bf6394a6 DL |
106 | probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly |
107 | in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the | |
f677a3a3 SM |
108 | pixels. The current code assumes a specific locale; that isn't good |
109 | enough even if X can render the arbitrary text] [The gtk | |
7bea57c9 DL |
110 | port now displays multilingual text in menus, but only insofar as |
111 | Emacs can encode it as utf-8 and gtk can display the result.] | |
f677a3a3 SM |
112 | Maybe making Lucid menus work like Gtk's (i.e. just force utf-8) is good |
113 | enough now that Emacs can encode most chars into utf-8. | |
a9c1a157 | 114 | |
ba1c68de | 115 | ** Remove the limitation that window and frame widths and heights can |
a9c1a157 RS |
116 | be only full columns/lines. |
117 | ||
ba1c68de SM |
118 | * Other features we would like: |
119 | ||
9b8453da RS |
120 | ** Create a category of errors called `process-error' |
121 | for some or all errors associated with using subprocesses. | |
122 | ||
51f74c37 RS |
123 | ** Maybe reinterpret `parse-error' as a category of errors |
124 | and put some other errors under it. | |
125 | ||
1a500a73 | 126 | ** A function to tell you the argument pattern of functions. |
1b2105d9 | 127 | See `function-arity' in http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/fx-misc.el. |
1a500a73 RS |
128 | |
129 | ** Make byte-compile warn when a doc string is too wide. | |
130 | ||
f95a20e7 RS |
131 | ** A function to check for customizable options that have been |
132 | set but not saved, and ask the user whether to save them. | |
133 | This could go in kill-emacs-query-functions, to remind people | |
134 | to save their changes. If the user says yes, show them | |
135 | in a Custom buffer using customize-customized. | |
136 | ||
e0402468 RS |
137 | ** Emacs Lisp mode could put an overlay on the defun for every |
138 | function that has advice. The overlay could have `after-text' like " | |
139 | [Function has advice]". It might look like | |
140 | (defun foo [Function has advice] (x y) | |
141 | The overlay could also be a button that you could use to view the advice. | |
142 | ||
9c9c88db SM |
143 | ** ange-ftp |
144 | *** understand sftp | |
1b2105d9 EZ |
145 | This is hard to make work because sftp doesn't print status |
146 | messages. | |
147 | ||
9c9c88db SM |
148 | *** Use MLS for ange-ftp-insert-directory if a list of files is specified. |
149 | ||
ba1c68de SM |
150 | ** Ability to map a key, including all modified-combinations. |
151 | E.g map mouse-4 to wheel-up as well as M-mouse-4 -> M-wheel-up | |
152 | M-C-mouse-4 -> M-C-wheel-up, H-S-C-M-s-double-mouse-4 -> | |
153 | H-S-C-M-s-double-wheel-up, ... | |
a9c1a157 | 154 | |
ba1c68de SM |
155 | ** Beefed-up syntax-tables. |
156 | *** recognize multi-character syntactic entities like `begin' and `end'. | |
157 | *** nested string-delimiters (for Postscript's (foo(bar)baz) strings). | |
158 | *** support for infix operators (with precedence). | |
159 | *** support for the $ (paired delimiter) in parse-partial-sexp. | |
160 | *** support for hook-chars whose effect on the parsing-state is specified | |
161 | by elisp code. Thus a char could both close a string and open a comment | |
162 | at the same time and do it in a context-sensitive way. | |
163 | *** ability to add mode-specific data to the partial-parse-state. | |
164 | ||
2d1ef312 RS |
165 | ** Add a way to convert a keyboard macro to equivalent Lisp code. |
166 | ||
ba1c68de | 167 | ** Have a command suggestion help system that recognizes patterns |
a9c1a157 RS |
168 | of commands which could be replaced with a simpler common command. |
169 | It should not make more than one suggestion per 10 minutes. | |
6165b6e3 | 170 | |
ba1c68de | 171 | ** Add a way to define input methods by computing them (when first used) |
30a2aafd RS |
172 | from other input methods. Then redefine C-x 8 to use a |
173 | user-selected input method, with the default being the union of | |
174 | latin-1-prefix and latin-1-postfix. | |
175 | ||
ba1c68de | 176 | ** Implement a clean way to use different major modes for |
06382b71 RS |
177 | different parts of a buffer. This could be useful in editing |
178 | Bison input files, for instance, or other kinds of text | |
1b2105d9 EZ |
179 | where one language is embedded in another language. See |
180 | http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/multi-mode.el and also | |
181 | mmm-mode, as reference for approaches took by others. | |
a933dad1 | 182 | |
b76781cd RS |
183 | ** Arrange a way for an input method to return the first character |
184 | immediately, then replace it later. So that C-s a with | |
185 | input method latin-1-postfix would immediately search for an a. | |
186 | ||
ba1c68de | 187 | ** Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error |
a933dad1 DL |
188 | output to a different filter. |
189 | ||
ba1c68de | 190 | ** Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some |
a933dad1 DL |
191 | useful sense). |
192 | ||
ba1c68de | 193 | ** Give desktop.el a feature to switch between different named |
8ba148c7 RS |
194 | desktops. |
195 | ||
ba1c68de | 196 | ** Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file |
e39fc314 DL |
197 | which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave |
198 | Love started on this.] | |
a933dad1 | 199 | |
10bb671b RS |
200 | ** Add a cpio mode, more or less like tar mode. |
201 | ||
ba1c68de | 202 | ** Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with |
2794f7ab DL |
203 | GNU Privacy Guard for encryption. [Code exists but isn't assigned. |
204 | See the Gnus development sources for assigned code concerning GPG | |
1b2105d9 EZ |
205 | use with mail, which is probably a good start.] See also |
206 | http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/auto-crypt.tgz. | |
a933dad1 | 207 | |
06382b71 RS |
208 | ** Save undo information in special temporary files, and reload it |
209 | when needed for undoing. This could extend undo capacity. | |
a933dad1 | 210 | |
ba1c68de | 211 | ** Change the Windows NT menu code |
a933dad1 DL |
212 | so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids |
213 | regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except | |
214 | when the user tries to use the menubar. | |
215 | ||
216 | This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to | |
217 | the main thread, and not return from that message until the main | |
0245b3ef | 218 | thread has processed the MENU_BAR_ACTIVATE_EVENT and regenerated |
a933dad1 | 219 | the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages. |
d054101f | 220 | |
ba1c68de | 221 | ** Get some major packages installed: W3 (development version needs |
2794f7ab | 222 | significant work), PSGML. Check the assignments file for other |
a52ce7f8 | 223 | packages which might go in and have been missed. |
e39fc314 | 224 | |
ba1c68de | 225 | ** Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of |
5dd31b13 SM |
226 | keymap.c). What should it do apart from being opaque ? |
227 | multiple inheritance ? faster where-is ? no more fix_submap_inheritance ? | |
228 | what else ? | |
e39fc314 | 229 | |
ba1c68de | 230 | ** Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as |
e39fc314 DL |
231 | an example how to do part of this. |
232 | ||
ba1c68de | 233 | ** Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler |
e39fc314 DL |
234 | macros in cl-macs. |
235 | ||
261b01c6 RS |
236 | ** Make compiler warnings about functions that might be undefined at run time |
237 | smarter, so that they know which files are required by the file being | |
238 | compiled and don't warn about functions defined in them. | |
239 | ||
ba1c68de | 240 | ** Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). Already in CUA, |
a52ce7f8 | 241 | but it's a valuable feature worth making more general. |
e39fc314 | 242 | |
4e8b322f KL |
243 | ** Support simultaneous tty and X frames. [See the multi-tty branch of Emacs |
244 | at http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.] | |
e39fc314 | 245 | |
ba1c68de | 246 | ** Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. [Maybe |
bf6394a6 DL |
247 | not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions. fx looked at |
248 | this and can say where some of the problems are.] | |
e39fc314 | 249 | |
ba1c68de | 250 | ** Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char |
1b2105d9 EZ |
251 | mismatches that we get with GCC 4.x and proprietary compilers on |
252 | various systems. They make it difficult to spot the important | |
253 | warnings. | |
e39fc314 | 254 | |
ba1c68de | 255 | ** Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC. |
eaf67bae | 256 | |
ba1c68de | 257 | ** Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies |
eaf67bae DL |
258 | automatically. |
259 | ||
ba1c68de | 260 | ** Update the FAQ. |
eaf67bae | 261 | |
ba1c68de | 262 | ** Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available. |
b04f7626 | 263 | [It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.] |
1265b539 | 264 | |
ba1c68de | 265 | ** Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus |
1265b539 DL |
266 | ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the |
267 | environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. | |
268 | ||
ba1c68de | 269 | ** Improve the GC (generational, incremental). (We may be able to use |
7bea57c9 DL |
270 | the Boehm collector.) [See the Boehm-GC branch in CVS for work on |
271 | this.] | |
19cc91fb | 272 | |
ba1c68de | 273 | ** Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3. |
e2849090 | 274 | |
ba1c68de | 275 | ** Add horizontal scroll bars. |
00a18b59 | 276 | |
ba1c68de | 277 | ** Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's |
e4ded23c | 278 | size and its position from lines instead of characters. |
c0460c17 | 279 | |
ba1c68de | 280 | ** Add support for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) rendering to |
296808a5 | 281 | Emacs. |
6add099c | 282 | |
ba1c68de | 283 | ** Allow unknown image types to be rendered via an external program |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
284 | converting them to, say, PBM (in the same way as PostScript?). |
285 | ||
ba1c68de | 286 | ** Allow displaying an X window from an external program in a buffer, |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
287 | e.g. to render graphics from Java applets. [gerd and/or wmperry |
288 | thought this was feasible.] | |
289 | ||
ba1c68de | 290 | ** Allow images (not just text) in the margin to be mouse-sensitive. |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
291 | (Requires recursing through display properties). Provide some way |
292 | to simulate mouse-clicks on marginal text without a mouse. | |
293 | ||
ba1c68de | 294 | ** Implement Lisp functions to determine properly whether a character |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
295 | is displayable (particularly needed in XFree 4, sigh). Use it to |
296 | define useful glyphs that may be displayed as images or unicodes | |
297 | (with ASCIIfied fallback via latin1-disp). Examples include | |
298 | box-drawing graphics in Custom buffers, W3 rules and tables, and | |
299 | tree displays generally, mode-line mail indicator. [See work done | |
300 | already for Emacs 22 and consult fx.] | |
301 | ||
ba1c68de | 302 | ** Do something to make rms happy with fx's dynamic loading, and use it |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
303 | to implement things like auto-loaded buffer parsers and database |
304 | access in cases which need more than Lisp. | |
305 | ||
ba1c68de | 306 | ** Extend ps-print to deal with multiple font sizes, images, and extra |
d1c3f6b6 RS |
307 | encodings. |
308 | ||
ba1c68de | 309 | ** Provide portable undumping using mmap (per gerd design). |
d1c3f6b6 | 310 | |
48b194fd RS |
311 | ** Make byte-compile avoid binding an expanded defsubst's args |
312 | when the body only calls primitives. | |
313 | ||
ba1c68de | 314 | ** Use the XIE X extension, if available, for image display. |
e641b454 | 315 | |
ba1c68de | 316 | ** Make monochrome images display using the foreground and background |
51fe665a RS |
317 | colors of the applicable faces. |
318 | ||
d101bf56 RS |
319 | ** Face remapping. |
320 | ||
fda12b27 RS |
321 | ** Optionally make the cursor a little thinner at the end of a line |
322 | or the end of the buffer. | |
323 | ||
ba1c68de | 324 | ** Add support for rendering antialiased text, probably using |
2a573e69 | 325 | XRender/Freetype. |
c5020b5b | 326 | |
ba1c68de | 327 | ** Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector |
1b2105d9 EZ |
328 | to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs. Note |
329 | that Boehm garbage collector provides this. | |
5e101746 | 330 | |
ba1c68de | 331 | ** Reorder defcustom's in each package so that the more important |
5005a9c0 EZ |
332 | options come first in the Customize buffers. This could be done by |
333 | either rearranging the file (since options are shown in the order | |
334 | they appear in the *.el files), or by adding a few :set-after | |
335 | attributes. | |
336 | ||
ba1c68de | 337 | ** Maybe document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or |
5e101746 RS |
338 | ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases). |
339 | This is not worth doing for all of these packages and we need not | |
340 | aim for completeness, but some may be worth documenting. | |
341 | ||
342 | Here's a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, | |
343 | artist, ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, | |
657c5358 | 344 | completion, cua, delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, |
5e101746 RS |
345 | easymenu, expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], |
346 | generic/generic-x [various modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit | |
347 | [obsolete?], makesum, midnight [other than in Kill Buffer node], | |
348 | mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag, mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, | |
349 | snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be interactive?], strokes [start from | |
350 | the web page], talk, thingatpt [interactive functions?], type-break, | |
351 | vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, | |
352 | swedish, feedmail [?], uce, bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, | |
353 | refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode, spell, texinfo, underline, | |
354 | cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?], pcomplete, assoc, xml, | |
355 | cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual); other progmodes, | |
356 | probably in separate manual. | |
758830ba | 357 | |
ba1c68de | 358 | ** Convert the XPM bitmaps to PPM, replace the PBMs with them and scrap |

359 | the XPMs so that the colour versions work generally. (Requires care |
360 | with the colour used for the transparent regions.) | |

ba1c68de | 362 | ** Convenient access to the `values' variable. It would be nice to have an |
758830ba JB |
363 | interface that would show you the printed reps of the elements of the |
364 | list in a menu, let you select one of the values, and put it into some | |
365 | other variable, without changing the value of `values'. | |

ba1c68de | 367 | ** (Controlled by a flag) make open and close syntax match exactly, |
c51b37fd DL |
368 | i.e. `(' doesn't match `]'. |
369 | ||
ba1c68de | 370 | ** Specify parameter ID-FORMAT in all calls to `file-attributes' and |
9ac8c83b LH |
371 | `directory-files-and-attributes' where attributes UID or GID are used. |
372 | Whenever possible, use value 'string. | |
373 | When done, change meaning of default value from 'integer to 'string. | |
374 | If value 'integer is used nowhere, remove the parameter ID-FORMAT from | |
375 | the definition of `file-attributes' and `directory-files-and-attributes' | |
376 | and from the calls. | |

378 | ** Make language-info-alist customizable. Currently a user can customize |
379 | only the variable `current-language-environment'. | |
380 | ||
381 | ** Improve language environment handling so that Emacs can fit | |
382 | better to a users locale. Currently Emacs uses utf-8 language | |
383 | environment for all utf-8 locales, thus a user in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale | |
384 | are also put in utf-8 lang. env. In such a case, it is | |
385 | better to use Japanese lang. env. but prefer utf-8 coding system. | |

387 | ** Enhance locale handling: handle language, territory and charset |
388 | orthogonally and de-emphasize language environments. Use the locale | |
389 | to set up more things, such as fontsets, the default Ispell | |
390 | dictionary, diary format, calendar holidays and display, quoting | |
391 | characters and phrase boundaries, sentence endings, collation for | |
392 | sorting (at least for unicodes), HTTP Accept-language, patterns for | |
393 | directory listings and compilation messages, yes-or-no replies, | |
394 | common menu items when the toolkit supports it ... `locale-info' | |
395 | needs extending for LC_COLLATE &c. [fx started on this.] | |

397 | ** Eliminate the current restriction on header printing by ps-print. |
398 | Currently, a header can contain only single 1-byte charset in | |
399 | addition to ASCII. | |
400 | ||
401 | ** In ps-print, provide an user friendly interface to specify fonts. | |
402 | ||
403 | ** OpenType font support for various complex scripts (e.g. Devanagari). | |
404 | As X protocal doesn't provide a way to access OpenType Layout Tables | |
405 | in a OpenType font of a server side, we need a way to utilize local | |
406 | fonts (perhaps by directly using the Freetype library or indirectly | |
407 | via Xft library). | |
408 | ||
409 | ** Enhance word boundary detection for such a script that doesn't use | |
410 | space at word boundary (e.g. Thai). | |
411 | ||
cf4c9271 KH |
412 | ** Implement interface programs with major Japanese conversion server |
413 | in lib-src so that they can be used from the input method | |
414 | "japanese". Currently, most Japanese users are using external | |
415 | packages (e.g. tamago, anthy) or an input method via XIM. | |

417 | ** Provide the toolbar on ttys. This could map a bit like tmm-menubar |
418 | for the menubar and buttons could look a bit like those used by customize. | |
419 | ||

420 | ** Improve Help buffers: Change the face of previously visited links (like |
421 | Info, but also with regard to namespace), add a forward button to make the | |
422 | Help buffer more browser like and gives the value of lisp expressions | |
423 | e.g auto-mode-alist, the right face. [nickrob@snap.net.nz has a patch | |
424 | for this for inclusion after 22.1]. | |

426 | * Internal changes |
427 | ||
428 | ** Replace gmalloc.c with the modified Doug Lea code from the current | |
429 | GNU libc so that the special mmapping of buffers can be removed -- | |
430 | that apparently loses under Solaris, at least. [fx has mostly done | |
431 | this.] | |
432 | ||
433 | ** Rewrite make-docfile to be clean and maintainable. | |
434 | ||
435 | ** Add an inferior-comint-minor-mode to capture the common set of operations | |
436 | offered by major modes that offer an associated inferior | |
d3a403e5 SM |
437 | comint-derived mode. I.e. basically make cmuscheme.el/inf-lisp.el generic. |
438 | For use by sml-mode, python-mode, tex-mode, scheme-mode, lisp-mode, | |
439 | haskell-mode, tuareg-mode, ... | |

441 | * Other known bugs: |
442 | ||
443 | ** a two-char comment-starter whose two chars are symbol constituents will | |
444 | not be noticed if it appears within a word. | |
445 | ||
07ff1e4b RS |
446 | ** Fix unexelf.c to handle the .data.rel and .data.rel.local |
447 | sections made by GCC 3.4 on IRIX. | |
