|
|
* Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector
|
|
to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs.
|
|
|
|
* Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.
|
|
|
|
* Implement other text formatting properties.
|
|
** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
|
|
** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
|
|
Don't break the line between two characters that have the
|
|
same value of this property.
|
|
** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line.
|
|
|
|
* Implement something better than the current Refill mode. This
|
|
probably needs some primitive support.
|
|
|
|
* Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
|
|
different parts of a buffer.
|
|
|
|
* Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
|
|
output to a different filter.
|
|
|
|
* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
|
|
on text properties in the error message lines.
|
|
|
|
* Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
|
|
useful sense).
|
|
|
|
* Make movemail work with IMAP.
|
|
|
|
* Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files,
|
|
so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes.
|
|
|
|
* Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file
|
|
which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave
|
|
Love started on this.]
|
|
|
|
* Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with
|
|
GNU Privacy Guard for encryption. [Code exists but isn't assigned.]
|
|
|
|
* Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed
|
|
for undoing.
|
|
|
|
* Change the Windows NT menu code
|
|
so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
|
|
regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
|
|
when the user tries to use the menubar.
|
|
|
|
This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to
|
|
the main thread, and not return from that message until the main
|
|
thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated
|
|
the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages.
|
|
|
|
* Make Emacs work as a Java Bean.
|
|
|
|
* Implement the design for Unicode-based internal encoding for Mule.
|
|
|
|
* Document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or
|
|
ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases). Here's
|
|
a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, artist,
|
|
ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, completion,
|
|
delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, easymenu,
|
|
expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], generic/generic-x [various
|
|
modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit [obsolete?], makesum, midnight
|
|
[other than in Kill Buffer node], mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag,
|
|
mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be
|
|
interactive?], strokes [start from the web page], talk, thingatpt
|
|
[interactive functions?], type-break, vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode
|
|
[?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, swedish, feedmail [?], uce,
|
|
bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode,
|
|
spell, texinfo, underline, cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?],
|
|
pcomplete, assoc, xml, cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual);
|
|
other progmodes, probably in separate manual.
|
|
|
|
* Get some major packages installed: W3/url (development version needs
|
|
significant work), PSGML, Mule-UCS, Tramp (?). Check the
|
|
assignments file for other packages which might go in and have been
|
|
missed.
|
|
|
|
* Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of
|
|
keymap.c). What should it do apart from being opaque ?
|
|
multiple inheritance ? faster where-is ? no more fix_submap_inheritance ?
|
|
what else ?
|
|
|
|
* Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as
|
|
an example how to do part of this.
|
|
|
|
* Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler
|
|
macros in cl-macs.
|
|
|
|
* Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs).
|
|
|
|
* Support simultaneous tty and X frames.
|
|
|
|
* Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling
|
|
properly with variable-pitch faces.
|
|
|
|
* Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library.
|
|
|
|
* Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char
|
|
mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems.
|
|
They make it difficult to spot the important warnings.
|
|
|
|
* Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC.
|
|
|
|
* Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
* Update the FAQ.
|
|
|
|
* Support dynamically-loadable primitive support using libtool and
|
|
support similarly to Guile. [Some work has been done.]
|
|
|
|
* Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available.
|
|
[It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.]
|
|
|
|
* Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus
|
|
ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the
|
|
environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration.
|
|
|
|
* Investigate using the language environment to set up more things,
|
|
such as the default Ispell dictionary.
|
|
|
|
* Improve the GC (generational, incremental). (We may be able to use
|
|
the Boehm collector.)
|
|
|
|
* Implement variable aliases, i.e. a `defvaralias' analogous to the
|
|
`defalias' for functions. The implementation should not slow down
|
|
Emacs, and it shouldn't use additional memory, at least not much.
|
|
|
|
* Port Emacs to GTK+.
|
|
|
|
* Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text.
|
|
|
|
* Implement, in C, a ``focus follows mouse'' mode that selects a window
|
|
when the mouse enters it.
|
|
|
|
* Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3.
