8 If you are ready to start working on any of these TODO items, we
9 appreciate your help; please write to emacs-devel@gnu.org so we can be
10 aware that the problem is being addressed, and talk with you how to do
11 it best. Since Emacs is an FSF-copyrighted package, please be
12 prepared to sign legal papers to transfer the copyright on your work
15 * Simple tasks. These don't require much emacs knowledge, they are
16 suitable for anyone from beginners to experts.
18 ** Convert modes that use view-mode to be derived from special-mode instead.
20 ** make emacsclient accept -nw as a synonym to -t.
22 ** Replace some uses of the preprocessor code in Makefile.in with the equivalent autoconf.
24 ** Major modes should have a menu entry. Examples of modes that do
25 not have one at the moment and probably should: text-mode, inferior-lisp-mode.
27 ** Check if all items on the mode-line have a suitable tooltip for all modes.
29 ** edebug and debugger-mode should have a toolbar.
30 It can use the same icons as gud.
32 ** Check what minor modes don't use define-minor-mode and convert them
35 ** Convert all defvars with leading `*' in the doc-strings into defcustoms
36 of appropriate :type and :group.
38 * Small but important fixes needed in existing features:
40 ** Flymake's customization mechanism needs to be both simpler (fewer
41 levels of indirection) and better documented, so it is easier to
42 understand. I find it quite hard to figure out what compilation
45 I suggest totally rewriting that part of Flymake, using the simplest
46 mechanism that sufficies for the specific needs. That will be easy
47 for users to customize.
49 ** Make "emacs --daemon" start emacs without showing any frame.
50 Use emacsclient later to open frames.
52 ** Make it possible to reliably turn on minor modes using "mode:" in the local
55 ** "Options -> Save Options" should save the font set via "Set Font/Fontset"
56 I.e. mouse-set-font should use customize-face.
58 ** Compute the list of active keymaps *after* reading the first event.
60 ** Distribute a bar cursor of width > 1 evenly between the two glyphs
61 on each side of the bar (what to do at the edges?).
63 ** buffer-offer-save should be a permanent local.
65 ** revert-buffer should eliminate overlays and the mark.
66 For related problems consult the thread starting with
67 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-11/msg01346.html
69 ** erase-buffer should perhaps disregard read-only properties of text.
71 ** Make occur correctly handle matches that span more than one line,
72 as well as overlapping matches.
74 ** Fix the kill/yank treatment of invisible text. At the moment,
75 invisible text is placed in the kill-ring, so that the contents of
76 the ring may not correspond to the text as displayed to the user.
77 It ought to be possible to omit text which is invisible (due to a
78 text-property, overlay, or selective display) from the kill-ring.
80 ** Change the way define-minor-mode handles autoloading.
81 It should not generate :require. Or :require in defcustom
82 should not be recorded in the user's custom-set-variables call.
84 ** Feature to change cursor shape when Emacs is idle (for more than
87 ** The buttons at the top of a custom buffer should not omit
88 variables whose values are currently hidden.
90 ** Clean up the variables in browse-url. Perhaps use a shell command string to
91 specify the browser instead of the mushrooming set of functions.
92 See also ESR's proposal for a BROWSER environment variable
93 <URL:http://www.catb.org/~esr/BROWSER/browse-url.patch>.
95 ** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move).
97 ** Make occur handle multi-line matches cleanly with context.
99 ** In Custom buffers, put the option that turns a mode on or off first,
100 using a heuristic of some kind?
102 ** Define recompute-arg and recompute-arg-if for fix_command to use.
103 See rms message of 11 Dec 05.
105 ** Height returned by frame-parameter ... and height given to
106 make-frame does not mean the same thing. The former includes menu and
107 tool bar lines, the latter don't. frame-parameter should return height
108 without menu and tool bar lines.
110 ** In Emacs Info, examples of using Customize should be clickable
111 and they should create Custom buffers.
113 ** The toolbar should show keyboard equivalents in its tooltips.
115 ** Add function to redraw the tool bar.
117 ** M-! M-n should fetch the buffer-file-name as the default.
119 ** Redesign the load-history data structure so it can cope better
120 with evaluating definitions of the same function from different files,
121 recording which file the latest definition came from.
123 ** make back_comment use syntax-ppss or equivalent.
125 ** Consider improving src/sysdep.c's search for a fqdn.
126 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00782.html
128 ** Find a proper fix for rcirc multiline nick adding.
129 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00684.html
131 ** Implement `network-interface-list' and `network-interface-info'
132 on MS-Windows. Hint: the information is present in the Registry,
134 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Linkage\
136 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<device>\
137 where <device> is the network device found under the first key.
139 ** Check for any included packages that define obsolete bug-reporting commands.
140 Change them to use report-emacs-bug.
142 ** Allow fringe indicators to display a tooltip (provide a help-echo property?)
144 ** Add a defcustom that supplies a function to name numeric backup files,
145 like make-backup-file-name-function for non-numeric backup files.
147 ** `dired-mode' should specify the semantics of `buffer-modified-p' for
148 dired buffers and DTRT WRT `auto-revert-mode'.
150 * Important features:
152 ** Having tabs above a window to switch buffers in it.
154 ** "Perspectives" are named persistent window configurations. We have
155 had the window configuration mechanism in GNU Emacs since the
156 beginning but we have never developed a good user interface to take
157 advantage of them. Eclipse's user interface seems to be good.
159 Perspectives work well even if you do the equivalent of C-x 4 C-f
160 because of the distinction between view windows vs file windows. In
161 Emacs this is more or less the "dedicated window" feature, but we have
162 never really made it work for this.
164 Perspectives also need to interact with the tabs.
166 ** Imenu could be extended into a file-structure browsing mechanism
167 using code like that of customize-groups.
169 ** Display something in the margin on lines that have compilation
172 ** Compilation error navigation bar, parallel to the scroll bar,
173 indicating where in the buffer there are compilation errors.
174 Perhaps we could arrange to display these error indications on top
175 of the scroll bar itself. That depends on to what extent toolkit
176 scroll bars are extensible.
178 ** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
179 list fonts, display a font as a sample, etc. [fx is looking at
180 multilingual font selection for the Unicode branch of Emacs.]
182 ** Provide a convenient way to select a color with the mouse.
184 ** Rewrite the face code to be simpler, clearer and faster.
186 ** Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF. [Is there actually a
187 decent single definition of RTF? Maybe see info at
188 http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/.] This task seems to be addressed
189 by http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/emacs-rtf/, which is still in
192 ** Implement something better than the current Refill mode. This
193 probably needs some primitive support.
195 ** Add a command to make a "Local Variables" section in the current buffer
196 and/or add a variable to the list.
198 ** Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling
199 properly with variable-pitch faces.
201 ** Implement a smoother vertical scroll facility, one that allows
202 C-v to scroll through a tall image. The primitive operations
203 posn-at-point and posn-at-x-y should now make it doable in elisp.
205 ** Implement intelligent search/replace, going beyond query-replace
206 (see http://graphics.csail.mit.edu/~rcm/chi04.pdf).
208 ** Implement other text formatting properties.
209 *** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
210 *** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
211 Don't break the line between two characters that have the
212 same value of this property.
213 *** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line.
215 ** Internationalize Emacs's messages.
217 ** Set up a facility to save backtraces when errors happen during
218 specified filters, specified timers, and specified hooks.
220 ** Install mmc@maruska.dyndns.org's no-flicker change.
222 ** Add a "current vertical pixel level" value that goes with point,
223 so that motion commands can also move through tall images.
224 This value would be to point as window-vscroll is to window-start.
226 ** Address internationalization of symbols names essentially
227 as documentation, e.g. in command names and Custom.
229 ** Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. [This
230 probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly
231 in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the
232 pixels. The current code assumes a specific locale; that isn't good
233 enough even if X can render the arbitrary text] [The gtk
234 port now displays multilingual text in menus, but only insofar as
235 Emacs can encode it as utf-8 and gtk can display the result.]
236 Maybe making Lucid menus work like Gtk's (i.e. just force utf-8) is good
237 enough now that Emacs can encode most chars into utf-8.
239 ** Remove the limitation that window and frame widths and heights can
240 be only full columns/lines.
242 * Other features we would like:
244 ** Make longlines-mode wrap lines based on screen position instead
245 of character position, so that variable-width fonts can be handled
248 ** Allow frames(terminals) created by emacsclient to inherit their environment
249 from the emacsclient process.
250 ** Remove the default toggling behavior of minor modes when called from elisp
251 rather than interactively. This a trivial one-liner in easy-mode.el.
253 ** Create a category of errors called `user-error' for errors which are
254 typically due to pilot errors and should thus be in debug-ignored-errors.
256 ** Give Tar mode all the features of Archive mode.
258 ** Create a category of errors called `process-error'
259 for some or all errors associated with using subprocesses.
261 ** Maybe reinterpret `parse-error' as a category of errors
262 and put some other errors under it.
264 ** A function to tell you the argument pattern of functions.
265 See `function-arity' in http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/fx-misc.el.
267 ** Make byte-compile warn when a doc string is too wide.
269 ** Make byte-optimization warnings issue accurate line numbers.
271 ** A function to check for customizable options that have been
272 set but not saved, and ask the user whether to save them.
273 This could go in kill-emacs-query-functions, to remind people
274 to save their changes. If the user says yes, show them
275 in a Custom buffer using customize-customized.
277 ** Record the sxhash of the default value for customized variables
278 and notify the user (maybe by adding a menu item or toolbar button,
279 as the detection can occur during autoload time) when the default
280 changes (meaning that new versions of the Lisp source with a changed
281 default value got installed) and offer ediff on the respective
282 customization buffers.
284 ** Emacs Lisp mode could put an overlay on the defun for every
285 function that has advice. The overlay could have `after-text' like
286 " [Function has advice]". It might look like (defun foo [Function
287 has advice] (x y) The overlay could also be a button that you could
288 use to view the advice.
290 ** Add a function to get the insertion-type of the markers in an overlay.
294 This is hard to make work because sftp doesn't print status
297 *** Use MLS for ange-ftp-insert-directory if a list of files is specified.
299 ** Ability to map a key, including all modified-combinations.
300 E.g map mouse-4 to wheel-up as well as M-mouse-4 -> M-wheel-up
301 M-C-mouse-4 -> M-C-wheel-up, H-S-C-M-s-double-mouse-4 ->
302 H-S-C-M-s-double-wheel-up, ...
304 ** Beefed-up syntax-tables.
305 *** recognize multi-character syntactic entities like `begin' and `end'.
306 *** nested string-delimiters (for Postscript's (foo(bar)baz) strings).
307 *** support for infix operators (with precedence).
308 *** support for the $ (paired delimiter) in parse-partial-sexp.
309 *** support for hook-chars whose effect on the parsing-state is specified
310 by elisp code. Thus a char could both close a string and open a comment
311 at the same time and do it in a context-sensitive way.
312 *** ability to add mode-specific data to the partial-parse-state.
314 ** Add a way to convert a keyboard macro to equivalent Lisp code.
316 ** Have a command suggestion help system that recognizes patterns
317 of commands which could be replaced with a simpler common command.
318 It should not make more than one suggestion per 10 minutes.
320 ** Add a way to define input methods by computing them (when first used)
321 from other input methods. Then redefine C-x 8 to use a
322 user-selected input method, with the default being the union of
323 latin-1-prefix and latin-1-postfix.
325 ** Switch the Windows port to using Unicode keyboard input (maybe).
326 Based on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633586.aspx,
327 this boils down to (1) calling RegisterClassW function to register
328 Emacs windows, and (2) modifying ALL system messages to use Unicode.
329 In particular, WM_CHAR messages, which result from keyboard input,
330 will then come in encoded in UTF-16.
332 One advantage of switching to Unicode is to toss encoded-kbd usage,
333 which will solve the problem with binding non-ASCII keys with
336 Problem: using this on Windows 9x/ME requires installing the
337 Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU), which might not implement all
338 the required functionality that is available built-in on Windows XP
339 and later. We should not make this change if it would pressure
340 users of unauthorized copies of older versions of Windows to
341 downgrade to versions that require activation.
343 ** Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
344 different parts of a buffer. This could be useful in editing
345 Bison input files, for instance, or other kinds of text
346 where one language is embedded in another language. See
347 http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/multi-mode.el and also
348 mmm-mode, as reference for approaches taken by others.
350 ** Arrange a way for an input method to return the first character
351 immediately, then replace it later. So that C-s a with
352 input method latin-1-postfix would immediately search for an a.
354 ** Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
355 output to a different filter.
357 ** Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
360 ** Give desktop.el a feature to switch between different named
363 ** Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file
364 which gives the same information through a menu structure. [Dave
365 Love started on this.]
367 ** Add a cpio mode, more or less like tar mode.
369 ** Save undo information in special temporary files, and reload it
370 when needed for undoing. This could extend undo capacity.
372 ** Change the Windows NT menu code
373 so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
374 regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
375 when the user tries to use the menubar.
377 This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to
378 the main thread, and not return from that message until the main
379 thread has processed the MENU_BAR_ACTIVATE_EVENT and regenerated
380 the whole menu bar. In the mean time, it should process other messages.
382 ** Get some major packages installed: W3 (development version needs
383 significant work), PSGML, _possibly_ Cedet and ECB.
384 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-05/msg01493.html
385 Check the assignments file for other packages which might go in and
388 ** Possibly install python-mode in place of python.el, or combine the two.
389 Someone needs to do the work of figuring out who all the non-trivial
390 python-mode.el contributors are and getting assignments.
391 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg02156.html
392 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg02201.html
393 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg02489.html
394 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg02234.html
396 ** Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of
397 keymap.c). What should it do apart from being opaque ?
398 multiple inheritance ? faster where-is ? no more fix_submap_inheritance ?
401 ** Provide real menus on ttys. The MS-DOS implementation can serve as
402 an example how to do part of this; see the XMenu* functions on msdos.c.
404 ** Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler
407 ** Make compiler warnings about functions that might be undefined at run time
408 smarter, so that they know which files are required by the file being
409 compiled and don't warn about functions defined in them.
411 ** Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). Already in CUA,
412 but it's a valuable feature worth making more general.
414 ** Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. [Maybe
415 not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions. fx looked at
416 this and can say where some of the problems are.]
418 ** Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char
419 mismatches that we get with GCC 4.x and proprietary compilers on
420 various systems. They make it difficult to spot the important
423 ** Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC.
425 ** Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies
430 ** Allow auto-compression-mode to use zlib calls if zlib is available.
431 [It's required for PNG, so may be linked anyhow.]
433 ** Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus
434 ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the
435 environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration.
436 [Do the existing -Q and -D cover this, or is more needed?]
438 ** Improve the GC (generational, incremental). (We may be able to use
439 the Boehm collector.) [See the Boehm-GC branch in CVS for work on
442 ** Check what hooks would help Emacspeak -- see the defadvising in W3.
444 ** Add definitions for symbol properties, for documentation purposes.
446 ** Add horizontal scroll bars.
448 ** Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's
449 size and its position from lines instead of characters.
451 ** Allow unknown image types to be rendered via an external program
452 converting them to, say, PBM (in the same way as PostScript?). [does
453 doc-view.el do this, or could it be extended to do this?]
455 ** Allow displaying an X window from an external program in a buffer,
456 e.g. to render graphics from Java applets. [gerd and/or wmperry
457 thought this was feasible.]
459 ** Allow images (not just text) in the margin to be mouse-sensitive.
460 (Requires recursing through display properties). Provide some way
461 to simulate mouse-clicks on marginal text without a mouse.
463 ** Implement Lisp functions to determine properly whether a character
464 is displayable (particularly needed in XFree 4, sigh). Use it to
465 define useful glyphs that may be displayed as images or unicodes
466 (with ASCIIfied fallback via latin1-disp). Examples include
467 box-drawing graphics in Custom buffers, W3 rules and tables, and
468 tree displays generally, mode-line mail indicator. [See work done
469 already for Emacs 23 and consult fx.]
471 ** Do something to make rms happy with fx's dynamic loading, and use it
472 to implement things like auto-loaded buffer parsers and database
473 access in cases which need more than Lisp.
475 ** Extend ps-print to deal with multiple font sizes, images, and extra
478 ** Provide portable undumping using mmap (per gerd design).
480 ** Make byte-compile avoid binding an expanded defsubst's args
481 when the body only calls primitives.
483 ** Use the XIE X extension, if available, for image display.
485 ** Make monochrome images display using the foreground and background
486 colors of the applicable faces.
488 ** Make `format-time-string' preserve text properties like `format'.
490 ** Optionally make the cursor a little thinner at the end of a line
491 or the end of the buffer.
493 ** Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector
494 to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs. Note
495 that Boehm garbage collector provides this.
497 ** Reorder defcustom's in each package so that the more important
498 options come first in the Customize buffers. This could be done by
499 either rearranging the file (since options are shown in the order
500 they appear in the *.el files), or by adding a few :set-after
503 ** Maybe document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or
504 ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases).
505 This is not worth doing for all of these packages and we need not
506 aim for completeness, but some may be worth documenting.
508 Here's a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout,
509 artist, ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme,
510 completion, cua, delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head,
511 easymenu, expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist],
512 generic/generic-x [various modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit
513 [obsolete?], makesum, midnight [other than in Kill Buffer node],
514 mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag, mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile,
515 snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be interactive?], strokes [start from
516 the web page], talk, thingatpt [interactive functions?], type-break,
517 vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed,
518 swedish, feedmail [?], uce, bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext,
519 refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode, spell, texinfo, underline,
520 cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?], pcomplete, assoc, xml,
521 cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual); other progmodes,
522 probably in separate manual.
524 ** Convert the XPM bitmaps to PPM, replace the PBMs with them and scrap
525 the XPMs so that the color versions work generally. (Requires care
526 with the color used for the transparent regions.)
528 ** Convenient access to the `values' variable. It would be nice to have an
529 interface that would show you the printed reps of the elements of the
530 list in a menu, let you select one of the values, and put it into some
531 other variable, without changing the value of `values'.
533 ** (Controlled by a flag) make open and close syntax match exactly,
534 i.e. `(' doesn't match `]'.
536 ** Specify parameter ID-FORMAT in all calls to `file-attributes' and
537 `directory-files-and-attributes' where attributes UID or GID are used.
538 Whenever possible, use value 'string.
539 When done, change meaning of default value from 'integer to 'string.
540 If value 'integer is used nowhere, remove the parameter ID-FORMAT from
541 the definition of `file-attributes' and `directory-files-and-attributes'
544 ** Make language-info-alist customizable. Currently a user can customize
545 only the variable `current-language-environment'.
547 ** Improve language environment handling so that Emacs can fit
548 better to a users locale. Currently Emacs uses utf-8 language
549 environment for all utf-8 locales, thus a user in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale
550 are also put in utf-8 lang. env. In such a case, it is
551 better to use Japanese lang. env. but prefer utf-8 coding system.
553 ** Enhance locale handling: handle language, territory and charset
554 orthogonally and de-emphasize language environments. Use the locale
555 to set up more things, such as fontsets, the default Ispell
556 dictionary, diary format, calendar holidays and display, quoting
557 characters and phrase boundaries, sentence endings, collation for
558 sorting (at least for unicodes), HTTP Accept-language, patterns for
559 directory listings and compilation messages, yes-or-no replies,
560 common menu items when the toolkit supports it ... `locale-info'
561 needs extending for LC_COLLATE &c. [fx started on this.]
563 ** Eliminate the current restriction on header printing by ps-print.
564 Currently, a header can contain only single 1-byte charset in
567 ** In ps-print, provide an user friendly interface to specify fonts.
569 ** Enhance word boundary detection for such a script that doesn't use
570 space at word boundary (e.g. Thai).
572 ** Implement interface programs with major Japanese conversion server
573 in lib-src so that they can be used from the input method
574 "japanese". Currently, most Japanese users are using external
575 packages (e.g. tamago, anthy) or an input method via XIM.
577 ** Let LEIM handle the Mode_switch key like XIM does (i.e. a toggle like C-\
578 but which can also be used as a modifier).
580 ** Improve Help buffers: Change the face of previously visited links (like
581 Info, but also with regard to namespace), and give the value of
582 lisp expressions, e.g auto-mode-alist, the right face.
584 ** Possibly make `list-holidays' eval items in the calendar-holidays variable.
586 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-02/msg01034.html>.
587 [rgm@gnu.org will look at this after 22.1]
589 ** Possibly make cal-dst use the system timezone database directly.
591 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-11/msg00060.html>
593 ** Possibly add a "close" button to the modeline.
594 The idea is to add an "X" of some kind, that when clicked deletes
595 the window associated with that modeline.

600 ** Cleanup all the GC_ mark bit stuff -- there is no longer any distinction
601 since the mark bit is no longer stored in the Lisp_Object itself.
603 ** Refine the `predicate' arg to read-file-name.
604 Currently, it mixes up the predicate to apply when doing completion and the
605 one to use when terminating the selection.
607 ** Merge ibuffer.el and buff-menu.el.
608 More specifically do what's needed to make ibuffer.el the default,
609 or just an extension of buff-menu.el.
611 ** Use pcomplete by default in shell-mode.
612 This means to make it behave (by default) more like the current code.
613 Use it also for read-shell-command, M-x compile, ...
615 ** Merge sendmail.el and messages.el.
616 Probably not a complete merge, but at least arrange for messages.el to be
617 a derived mode of sendmail.el. Or arrange for messages.el to be split
618 into a small core and "the rest" so that we use less resources as long as
619 we stick to the features provided in sendmail.el.
621 ** Replace gmalloc.c with the modified Doug Lea code from the current
622 GNU libc so that the special mmapping of buffers can be removed --
623 that apparently loses under Solaris, at least. [fx has mostly done
626 ** Rewrite make-docfile to be clean and maintainable.
628 ** Add an inferior-comint-minor-mode to capture the common set of operations
629 offered by major modes that offer an associated inferior
630 comint-derived mode. I.e. basically make cmuscheme.el/inf-lisp.el generic.
631 For use by sml-mode, python-mode, tex-mode, scheme-mode, lisp-mode,
632 haskell-mode, tuareg-mode, ...
634 ** Make SYNC_INPUT the default. [true since 2008-03-11]
635 All loops using immediate_quit need to be checked to ensure that
636 C-g can interrupt them, in case of an infinite loop. Once we
637 switch to using SYNC_INPUT, we can remove the BLOCK_INPUTs in the
638 allocation functions (allocate_string etc.) without worrying about
641 ** Add "link" button class
642 Add a standard button-class named "link", and make all other link-like
643 button classes inherit from it. Set the default face of the "link" button
644 class to the standard "link" face.
648 ** `make-frame' forgets unhandled parameters, at least for X11 frames.
650 ** a two-char comment-starter whose two chars are symbol constituents will
651 not be noticed if it appears within a word.
653 ** Fix unexelf.c to handle the .data.rel and .data.rel.local
654 sections made by GCC 3.4 on IRIX.
