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.
** Update release dates of manuals.
** Spell check the manuals.
** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals.
** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.
** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
** Update AUTHORS.
** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.
** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME
and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons.
** Ensure MH-E 8.0 has been released.
Assigned to Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>.
* NEW FEATURES
** Rework how fringe bitmaps are defined and used.
Currently, bitmap usage and bitmap appearence are "mixed-up" in a
one-level representation. It would be cleaner to split the
representation into a two-level model where first level maps
bitmap usage to a bitmap name, and second level maps bitmap name to
a bitmap appearence.
[Assigned to KFS]
* FATAL ERRORS
** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
invalid pointer from string_free_list.
* BUGS
** circle-printing bug from Stephen Berman; see my 5 Dec message.
** Ronan Keryell's Sep 23 bug about "tramp sudo:: and version control on RCS"
** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
* DOCUMENTATION
** Add a node to the Lisp manual describing key sequences from the
Lisp point of view.
** Fix some of these doc strings by adding \\<keymap-name> where needed.
