2 | * Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF. |
3 | ||
4 | * Implement other text formatting properties. | |
5 | ** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page. | |
6 | ** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this". | |
7 | Don't break the line between two characters that have the | |
8 | same value of this property. | |
9 | ** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line. | |

11 | * Implement something better than the current Refill mode. This |
12 | probably needs some primitive support. | |

14 | * Implement a clean way to use different major modes for |
15 | different parts of a buffer. | |
16 | ||
17 | * Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error | |
18 | output to a different filter. | |
19 | ||
20 | * Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci | |
21 | on text properties in the error message lines. | |
22 | ||
23 | * Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some | |
24 | useful sense). | |
25 | ||
26 | * Make movemail work with IMAP. | |
27 | ||
28 | * Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files, | |
29 | so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes. | |
30 | ||
31 | * Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file | |
e39fc314 DL |
32 | which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave |
33 | Love started on this.] | |

35 | * Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with |
36 | GNU Privacy Guard for encryption. [Code exists but isn't assigned.] | |

38 | * Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed | |
39 | for undoing. | |

41 | * Change the Windows NT menu code |
42 | so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids | |
43 | regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except | |
44 | when the user tries to use the menubar. | |
45 | ||
46 | This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to | |
47 | the main thread, and not return from that message until the main | |
48 | thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated | |
49 | the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages. | |

51 | * Make Emacs work as a Java Bean. | |
6344985d | 52 | |
e39fc314 | 53 | * Implement the design for Unicode-based internal encoding for Mule. |

55 | * Document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or |
56 | ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases). Here's | |
57 | a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, | |
58 | ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, completion, | |
59 | delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, easymenu, | |
60 | expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], generic/generic-x [various | |
61 | modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit [obsolete?], makesum, midnight | |
62 | [other than in Kill Buffer node], mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag, | |
63 | mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be | |
64 | interactive?], strokes [start from the web page], talk, thingatpt | |
65 | [interactive functions?], type-break, vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode | |
66 | [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, swedish, feedmail [?], uce, | |
67 | bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode, | |
68 | spell, texinfo, underline, cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?], | |
b04f7626 DL |
69 | pcomplete, assoc, xml, cvs-status; other progmodes, probably in |
70 | separate manual. | |

71 | |
72 | * Get some major packages installed: W3/url (development version needs | |
73 | significant work), PSGML, Mule-UCS, Tramp (?). Check the | |
74 | assignments file for other packages which might go in and have been | |
75 | missed. | |
76 | ||
77 | * Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of | |
78 | keymap.c). | |
79 | ||
80 | * Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as | |
81 | an example how to do part of this. | |
82 | ||
83 | * Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler | |
84 | macros in cl-macs. | |
85 | ||
86 | * Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). | |
87 | ||
88 | * Support simultaneous tty and X frames. | |
89 | ||
90 | * Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling | |
91 | properly with variable-pitch faces. | |
92 | ||
93 | * Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. | |
94 | ||
95 | * Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char | |
96 | mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems. | |
97 | They make it difficult to spot the important warnings. | |
98 | ||
99 | * Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC. | |

100 | |
101 | * Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies | |
102 | automatically. | |
103 | ||
104 | * Update the FAQ. | |
105 | ||
106 | * Support dynamically-loadable primitive support using libtool and | |
107 | support similarly to Guile. [Some work has been done.] | |
b04f7626 DL |
108 | |
109 | * Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available. | |
110 | [It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.] |
