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 fringe bitmaps are defined and used.
31 Currently, bitmap usage and bitmap appearence are "mixed-up" in a
32 one-level representation. It would be cleaner to split the
33 representation into a two-level model where first level maps
34 bitmap usage to a bitmap name, and second level maps bitmap name to
40 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
42 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
43 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
47 ** Clean up the confusion about what `unspecified' means
48 in the face defaults for new frames.
50 ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
52 TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
53 excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
54 CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
55 Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
59 ** Update man/info.texi.
61 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
63 Please record your name here and say which part of the distribution
64 you're going to handle.
