4 # Core NT issues
|
|
|
5 1. Subprocess support is completely broken.
|
|
|
6 2. Networking support is completely broken. This is due to the fact that
|
|
|
7 the model relies on the subprocess support also working.
|
|
|
8 4. No binary release. We know a binary release would be A Good Thing.
|
|
|
9 However we want to make things stable before producing one so we don't
|
|
|
10 have to field too many problems. Sorry.
|
|
|
11 5. Support for dired is perhaps not quite there. We need to port ls-lisp.el
|
|
|
12 from FSF Emacs.
|
|
|
13 6. Currently the backup files do not get the same permissions as the file
|
|
|
14 being edited. August Hill is looking at this one.
|
|
|
15 7. Verify that CRLF issues are dealt with correctly. Marc Paquette is
|
|
|
16 looking at this.
|
|
|
17 8. Use the registry to store the root directory(ies) of lisp packages; that
|
|
|
18 is the path name, not the elisp files.

20 # X issues
|
|
|
21 1. Redrawing on my (davidh) system seems fairly broken - I don't know if
|
|
|
22 this is the XEmacs redraw functionality, my X server or just something
|
|
|
23 strange with X under NT. Has anyone else experiences with this ?

25 # Native GUI issues
|
|
|
26 1. Mouse drags can cause aborts. I think this is because the timeout
|
|
|
27 implementation is broken and can cause the same timeout to go
|
|
|
28 off twice (especially during mouse drags?), which makes XEmacs abort.
|
|
|
29 Windows95 doesn't appear to provide any one-shot timers (NT does).
|
|
215
|
30 2. Random face colors.
|
|
|
31 3. Calling mouse_[enter|leave]_frame_hook.
|
|
|
32 4. Eliminate resizing funnies
|
|
|
33 5. Scrollbar
|
|
|
34 6. Menubar
|
|
|
35 7. Palette handling
|
|
|
36 8. Middle mouse button emulation. Dragging off-frame.
|
|
|
37 9. Images
|
|
|
38 10. Toolbar
