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.
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 ** Enhance scroll-bar to handle tall line (similar to line-move).
21 ** Adapt mouse-sel-mode to mouse-1-click-follows-link.
26 ** Make unexec handle memory mapping policy of the latest versions of Linux.
28 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
30 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
31 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
36 ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:

41 Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
45 C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
47 The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
48 router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
50 ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
51 Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
52 ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
53 Trying 192.87.102.36...
54 Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
56 Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
59 I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
60 time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
65 ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
68 * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
70 ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
72 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
75 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
81 ** Document Custom Themes.
83 ** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual.
85 ** Update the Emacs manual.
87 *** Update man/info.texi.
89 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
