1 | Tasks needed before the next release. |
2 | ||
c8de0427 | 3 | * TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE |
1f912e99 | 4 | |
c8de0427 | 5 | ** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes |
1f912e99 LT |
6 | has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems. |
7 | ||
07ff1e4b RS |
8 | ** Update release dates of manuals. |
9 | ||
10 | ** Spell check the manuals. | |
11 | ||
12 | ** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals. | |
0ad6717d | 13 | |
059cbcd5 RS |
14 | ** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals; |
15 | make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted. | |
16 | ||
a68d870b RS |
17 | ** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other |
18 | face name prefixes should be in it for good results. | |
059cbcd5 | 19 | |
57985b44 LK |
20 | ** Update AUTHORS. |
21 | ||
22 | ** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc. | |
23 | ||
b713c813 RS |
24 | ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them. |
25 | ||
ce7830e5 RS |
26 | ** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF. |
27 | ||
c0a070c1 | 28 | * NEW FEATURES |
2f0e0a0b | 29 | |
fc3c954c KS |
30 | ** Rework how the fringe "angle" bitmap at at bottom of buffer is |
31 | shown to include an indication of whether the last line has a NL or not. | |
32 | [Assigned to KFS] | |
33 | ||
34 | ** Rework how fringe bitmaps are defined and used. | |
35 | Currently, bitmap usage and bitmap appearence are "mixed-up" in a | |
36 | one-level representation. It would be cleaner to split the | |
37 | representation into a two-level model where first level maps | |
38 | bitmap usage to a bitmap name, and second level maps bitmap name to | |
39 | a bitmap appearence. | |
40 | [Assigned to KFS] | |
41 | ||
42 | ** Put a max-limit on the size of images, e.g. based on the display size. | |
43 | This is to avoid allocating insane amounts of memory due to bogus | |
44 | image size specifications. | |
45 | Note: rather than clipping images that are too big (this may be | |
46 | non-trivial to do correctly in all cases -- and thus non-trivial to | |
47 | test), it may be better just to avoid displaying such images for emacs 22. | |
48 | ||
c0a070c1 | 49 | * FATAL ERRORS |
3d351c97 | 50 | |
e84fe274 KS |
51 | ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings. |
52 | ||
53 | ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an | |
54 | invalid pointer from string_free_list. | |
55 | ||
ee31cd78 RS |
56 | * BUGS |
57 | ||
b940920d RF |
58 | ** Make a new interface for specifying window configurations |
59 | so that we can fix bugs in balance-windows. | |
60 | ||
fb90e6d9 | 61 | ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows. |
28df3a10 JB |
62 | |
63 | TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume | |
64 | excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100% | |
65 | CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations. | |
fc3c954c | 66 | Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c. |
28df3a10 | 67 | |
7956ef44 KS |
68 | * DOCUMENTATION |
69 | ||
0ad6717d | 70 | ** Update man/info.texi. |
7956ef44 | 71 | |
7956ef44 KS |
72 | ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files. |
