1 Tasks needed before the next release.
3 * TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
5 ** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
6 has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.
8 ** Update release dates of manuals.
10 ** Spell check the manuals.
12 ** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals.
14 ** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
15 make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.
17 ** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
18 face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
22 ** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
24 ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
26 ** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.
30 ** Rework how the fringe "angle" bitmap at at bottom of buffer is
31 shown to include an indication of whether the last line has a NL or not.
34 ** Rework how fringe bitmaps are defined and used.
35 Currently, bitmap usage and bitmap appearence are "mixed-up" in a
36 one-level representation. It would be cleaner to split the
37 representation into a two-level model where first level maps
38 bitmap usage to a bitmap name, and second level maps bitmap name to
42 ** Put a max-limit on the size of images, e.g. based on the display size.
43 This is to avoid allocating insane amounts of memory due to bogus
44 image size specifications.
45 Note: rather than clipping images that are too big (this may be
46 non-trivial to do correctly in all cases -- and thus non-trivial to
47 test), it may be better just to avoid displaying such images for emacs 22.
51 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
53 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
54 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
58 ** Make a new interface for specifying window configurations
59 so that we can fix bugs in balance-windows.
61 ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
63 TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
64 excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
65 CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
66 Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
70 ** Update man/info.texi.
72 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
74 Please record your name here and say which part of the distribution
75 you're going to handle.
