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 ** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME
27 and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons.
29 ** Ensure MH-E 8.0 has been released.
30 Assigned to Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>.
34 ** JD Smith's 17 Apr 2006 bug report that CVS operations
35 get mysterious unreproducible failures.
37 ** David Hansen's bug report on 16 Apr 2006 about point-entered and
38 point-left text properties.
40 ** Is there a basic problem with cl-byte-compile-compiler-macro?
42 ** Cursor position display bug from Yamamoto Mistuharu, 11 Apr 2006.
44 ** Markus Gritsch's report about Emacs looping on Windoze with the following
45 .emacs file, and then reduce Emacs frame width to "something quite narrow":
46 (setq-default truncate-lines t)
52 ** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
54 TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
55 excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
56 CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
57 Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
59 In its current form, it sys_select says the socket is ready, so we
60 call server_accept_connection which again calls accept() which returns
61 -1 with errno == WSAEWOULDBLOCK (10035) indicating that there is no
62 pending connection to accept.
64 It seems that to fix this, w32 server sockets must use WSAAsyncSelect
65 + FD_ACCEPT to request notifications of incoming connections...
70 ** Add a node to the Lisp manual describing key sequences from the
73 ** Check man/info.texi.
75 ** Check the Emacs Lisp manual.
77 Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
78 regarding recent changes by at least two people. After each file
79 name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
80 people who have checked it.
