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.
* NEW FEATURES
** Rework how the fringe "angle" bitmap at at bottom of buffer is
shown to include an indication of whether the last line has a NL or not.
[Assigned to KFS]
** 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]
** Put a max-limit on the size of images, e.g. based on the display size.
This is to avoid allocating insane amounts of memory due to bogus
image size specifications.
Note: rather than clipping images that are too big (this may be
non-trivial to do correctly in all cases -- and thus non-trivial to
test), it may be better just to avoid displaying such images for emacs 22.
* FATAL ERRORS
** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
invalid pointer from string_free_list.
** Emacs on Windows crashes reading JPEG images from files.
The problem is caused by the Emacs executable and the image library
having multiple, incompatible copies of the run-time code, which can
happen when mixing a MSVC build of Emacs with a MinGW build of the
jpeg library (or the other way around). The fix is straightforward
and has already been posted on the developers' list, but it is on the
back burner waiting for a legal comment or an alternate implementation
(around 30 lines of code).
* BUGS
** Make a new interface for specifying window configurations
so that we can fix bugs in balance-windows.
** 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
** Update man/info.texi.
** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
Please record your name here and say which part of the distribution
you're going to handle.
