* BUGS
2004-12-07 05:01:55 +00:00
** 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
2004-12-16 15:26:39 +00:00
further.
2004-12-07 05:01:55 +00:00
I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
2004-11-16 17:31:19 +00:00
2004-06-28 09:03:00 +00:00
* GTK RELATED BUGS
** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
2004-11-01 14:06:54 +00:00
* 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.
* DOCUMENTATION
2004-11-08 17:00:42 +00:00
** Document Custom Themes.
2005-06-17 15:52:39 +00:00
** Update lispref/README.
2005-06-10 11:00:43 +00:00
2005-06-17 15:52:39 +00:00
** Update man/info.texi.
** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
2005-05-25 14:32:10 +00:00
