1 # List of problems with XEmacs. If anyone wants to work on these, please
2 # mail me and I'll update the table below.
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
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
17 8. Use the registry to store the root directory(ies) of lisp packages; that
18 is the path name, not the elisp files.
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 ?
26 0. The entire event model.
27 1. Calling mouse_[enter|leave]_frame_hook
28 2. Can't change bold, italic or bold-italic face fonts
29 3. Bogus delay when setting default- or initial-frame-plist
30 4. Short timeouts don't seem to be very accurate
31 5. Scrollbar dragging. Redisplay isn't called while dragging.
32 Also can't retrieve 32 bit tracking position with GetScrollInfo()
35 8. Middle mouse button emulation
41 1. For some reason, HOME is a required environment variable.
