1 Tasks needed before the next release.
7 ** Make Rmail find the best version of movemail.
8 To be done by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>.
10 ** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail
11 gracefully if something isn't supported over Tramp.
12 To be done by Andre Spiegel <spiegel@gnu.org>.
14 ** define-minor-mode should not put :require into defcustom.
15 See msg from rms to emacs-devel on 21 Dec.
19 ** Investigate face cache related crash.
21 Indications: Face cache seems to have been cleared, but
22 redisplay uses an invalidated face_id with FACE_FROM_ID
23 which then returns a NULL pointer. Said to happen with
26 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
28 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
29 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
34 ** Clean up flymake.el to follow Emacs Lisp conventions.
36 ** Fix up url-ldap.el.
38 ** url/*.el has lots of `(declare (special ...))' which
39 are meaningless. What's that trying to do?
43 ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:

48 Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
52 C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
54 The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
55 router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
57 ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
58 Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
59 ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
60 Trying 192.87.102.36...
61 Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
63 Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
66 I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
67 time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
72 ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
75 * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
77 ** Strange text scrolling with Emacs + GTK

90 It is not specific for the first line of a buffer.
92 Rather it happens for lines which are indented but the
93 indentation is controlled by a display property and
94 the newline is part of that display property -- in
95 that case, the indentation is not recognized for the
99 ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
101 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
104 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error

110 The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin,

118 ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
120 From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
121 Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
123 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
125 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
127 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
128 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
129 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
130 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
131 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
133 4. Set for current session.
135 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
137 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
139 The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
140 induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
141 problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
142 there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
143 bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
145 I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
146 I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
147 when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
148 within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
149 interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:
