unicode/unicode-consortium/8859-16.TXT: New file.
mule/english.el: Define this charset now, since a bug was fixed that formerly
prevented it.
mule/ethio-util.el: Fix compile errors involving Unicode `characters', which should be
integers.
Makefile.in.in: Always include gui.c, to fix compile error when TTY-only.

Replace all usages with wrap_foo().
Make symbol->name a Lisp_Object, not Lisp_String *. Eliminate
nearly all uses of Lisp_String * in favor of Lisp_Object, and
correct macros so most of them favor Lisp_Object.
Create new error-behavior ERROR_ME_DEBUG_WARN -- output warnings,
but at level `debug' (usually ignored). Use it when instantiating
specifiers, so problems can be debugged. Move
log-warning-minimum-level into C so that we can optimize
ERROR_ME_DEBUG_WARN.
Fix warning levels consistent with new definitions.
Add default_ and parent fields to char table; not yet implemented.
New fun Dynarr_verify(); use for further error checking on Dynarrs.
Rearrange code at top of lisp.h in conjunction with dynarr changes.
Fix eifree(). Use Eistrings in various places
(format_event_object(), where_is_to_char(), and callers thereof)
to avoid fixed-size strings buffers. New fun write_eistring().
Reindent and fix GPM code to follow standards.
Set default MS Windows font to Lucida Console (same size as
Courier New but less interline spacing, so more lines fit).
Increase default frame size on Windows to 50 lines. (If that's too
big for the workspace, the frame will be shrunk as necessary.)
Fix problem with text files with no newlines (). (Change
`convert-eol' coding system to use `nil' for autodetect,
consistent with make-coding-system.)
Correct compile warnings in vm-limit.c.
Fix handling of reverse-direction charsets to avoid errors when
opening (e.g.) mule-ucs/lisp/reldata/uiso8859-6.el.
Recode some object printing methods to use write_fmt_string()
instead of a fixed buffer and sprintf.
Turn on display of png comments as warnings (level `info'), now
that they're unobtrusive.
Revamped the sound documentation.
Fixed bug in redisplay w.r.t. hscroll/truncation/continuation
glyphs causing jumping up and down of the lines, since they're
bigger than the line size. (It was seen most obviously when
there's a horizontal scroll bar, e.g. do C-h a glyph or something
like that.) The problem was that the glyph-contrib-p setting on
glyphs was ignored even if it was set properly, which it wasn't
until now.

3 bugs:
|
|
771
|
4
|
|
788
|
5 -- TTY-mode problem. When you start up in TTY mode, XEmacs goes through
|
|
|
6 the loadup process and appears to be working -- you see the startup
|
|
|
7 screen pulsing through the different screens, and it appears to be
|
|
|
8 listening (hitting a key stops the screen motion), but it's frozen --
|
|
|
9 the screen won't get off the startup, key commands don't cause anything
|
|
|
10 to happen. STATUS: In progress.
|
|
|
11
|
|
793
|
12 -- Memory ballooning in some cases. Not yet understood.
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 -- Occasional crash when freeing display structures. The problem seems to
|
|
|
15 be this: A window has a "display line dynarr"; each display line has a
|
|
|
16 "display block dynarr". Sometimes this display block dynarr is getting
|
|
|
17 freed twice. It appears from looking at the code that sometimes a
|
|
|
18 display line from somewhere in the dynarr gets added to the end -- hence
|
|
|
19 two pointers to the same display block dynarr. need to review this
|
|
|
20 code.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 -- md5 doesn't work. (Lstream not open errors) Causes w3 to fail.
|
|
788
|
23
|
|
793
|
24 -- other test suite failures?
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 -- need to review the handling of sounds. seems that not everything is
|
|
|
27 documented, not everything is consistently used where it's supposed to,
|
|
|
28 some sounds are ugly, etc. add sounds to `completer' as well.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 -- redo with-trapping-errors so that the backtrace is stored away and only
|
|
|
31 outputted when an error actually occurs (i.e. in the condition-case
|
|
|
32 handler). test. (use ding of various sorts as a helpful way of checking
|
|
|
33 out what's going on.)
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 -- problems with process input: |uniq (for example) leaves ^M's at end of
|
|
|
36 line.

41 This is the most current list of priorities in `ben-mule-21-5'.
|
|
|
42 Updated often.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 high-priority:
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 [input]
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 -- support for WM_IME_CHAR. IME input can work under -nuni if we use
|
|
|
49 WM_IME_CHAR. probably we should always be using this, instead of
|
|
|
50 snarfing input using WM_COMPOSITION. i'll check this out.
|
|
|
51 -- Russian C-x problem. see above.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 [clean-up]
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 -- make sure it compiles and runs under non-mule. remember that some
|
|
|
56 code needs the unicode support, or at least a simple version of it.
|
|
|
57 -- make sure it compiles and runs under pdump. see below.
|
|
|
58 -- make sure it compiles and runs under cygwin. see below.
|
|
|
59 -- clean up mswindows-multibyte, TSTR_TO_C_STRING. expand dfc
|
|
|
60 optimizations to work across chain.
|
|
|
61 -- eliminate last vestiges of codepage<->charset conversion and similar stuff.
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 [other]
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 -- test the "file-coding is binary only on Unix, no-Mule" stuff.
|
|
|
66 -- test that things work correctly in -nuni if the system environment
|
|
|
67 is set to e.g. japanese -- i should get japanese menus, japanese
|
|
|
68 file names, etc. same for russian, hebrew ...
|
|
|
69 -- cut and paste. see below.
|
|
|
70 -- misc issues with handling lang environments. see also August 25,
|
|
|
71 "finally: working on the C-x in ...".
|
|
|
72 -- when switching lang env, needs to set keyboard layout.
|
|
|
73 -- user var to control whether, when moving into text of a
|
|
|
74 particular language, we set the appropriate keyboard layout. we
|
|
|
75 would need to have a lisp api for retrieving and setting the
|
|
|
76 keyboard layout, set text properties to indicate the layout of
|
|
|
77 text, and have a way of dealing with text with no property on
|
|
|
78 it. (e.g. saved text has no text properties on it.) basically,
|
|
|
79 we need to get a keyboard layout from a charset; getting a
|
|
|
80 language would do. Perhaps we need a table that maps charsets
|
|
|
81 to language environments.
|
|
|
82 -- test that the lang env is properly set at startup. test that
|
|
|
83 switching the lang env properly sets the C locale (call
|
|
|
84 setlocale(), set LANG, etc.) -- a spawned subprogram should have
|
|
|
85 the new locale in its environment.
|
|
|
86 -- look through everything below and see if anything is missed in this
|
|
|
87 priority list, and if so add it. create a separate file for the
|
|
|
88 priority list, so it can be updated as appropriate.
|
|
|
89
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 mid-priority:
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
93 -- clean up the chain coding system. its list should specify decode
|
|
|
94 order, not encode; i now think this way is more logical. it should
|
|
|
95 check the endpoints to make sure they make sense. it should also
|
|
|
96 allow for the specification of "reverse-direction coding systems":
|
|
|
97 use the specified coding system, but invert the sense of decode and
|
|
|
98 encode.
|
|
|
99
|
|
|
100 -- along with that, places that take an arbitrary coding system and
|
|
|
101 expect the ends to be anything specific need to check this, and add
|
|
|
102 the appropriate conversions from byte->char or char->byte.
|
|
|
103
|
|
|
104 -- get some support for arabic, thai, vietnamese, japanese jisx 0212:
|
|
|
105 at least get the unicode information in place and make sure we have
|
|
|
106 things tied together so that we can display them. worry about r2l
|
|
|
107 some other time.
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
109 -- check the handling of C-c. can XEmacs itself be interrupted with C-c?
|
|
|
110 is that impossible now that we are a window, not a console, app? at
|
|
|
111 least we should work something out with `i', so that if it receives a
|
|
|
112 C-c or C-break, it interrupts XEmacs, too. check out how process groups
|
|
|
113 work and if they apply only to console apps. also redo the way that
|
|
|
114 XEmacs sends C-c to other apps. the business of injecting code should
|
|
|
115 be last resort. we should try C-c first, and if that doesn't work, then
|
|
|
116 the next time we try to interrupt the same process, use the injection
|
|
|
117 method.
|
