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.
|
||
|
||
* 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
|
||
|
||
** 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
|
||
|
||
** Fix some of these doc strings by adding \\<keymap-name> where needed.
