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.
+
+* NEW FEATURES
+
+** 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.
+
+** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move).
+
+** Adapt mouse-sel-mode to mouse-1-click-follows-link.
+
+
+* FATAL ERRORS
+
+** Make unexec handle memory mapping policy of the latest versions of Linux.
+
+** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
+
+** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
+invalid pointer from string_free_list.
+
+
+* 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:/
+
+The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
+router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
+
+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.
+
+Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
+further.
+
+I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
+time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
+
+
+* GTK RELATED BUGS
+
+** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
+
+
+* REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
+
+** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
+
+Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
+ (space 'left-margin)
+
+A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
+is encountered.
+
+

-** Investigate face cache related crash.
+** Check the Emacs Lisp manual.
-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.
+Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
+regarding recent changes by at least two people. After each file
