+-*- outline -*-
+
+* NON-SPECIFIC
+
+** Remove Feval calls relating to insert working text in isearch mode.
+
+** free_frame_resources, face colors
+
+** look at nsfont_char_width and nsfont_string_width utils (Dan C.)
+
+** config improvements (Dan C.)
+
+* Mac-related:
+
+** open file:/// URLs
+
+** finish handle terminate request (user logout)
+
+** put frame autopositioning into C code somewhere -- if loc = same, offset
+
+** automap ctrl-mouse-1 to mouse-3
+
+** deal with Finder aliases somehow
+
+** Ctrl-F2 won't pull up menus
+
+
+* Cursor:
+
+** ns_cursor_blink_rate: when set in preferences, somehow save the option (but
+  calling custom-save-all from this causes error)
+
+** cursor nonerase on certain Leopard and Tiger installations
+
+** if I do:  (mouse-avoidance-mode 'banish) and then minimize Emacs, it pops back immediately.
+  Also, it insists on being on top of other windows if they overlap.
+
+** cursor-over bugs w/some scripts (move around in HELLO to see)
+
+
+Keyboard:
+
+On a German (PowerBook?) keyboard alt-` produces the correct ˚, without alt modifier only the message “<S-268632064> is undefined” is produced. Peter Maurer’s Key codes shows:
+        * Modifier Change: ⇧ 131330/0x20102
+        * Key Down/Up event: ⇧ 24/0x18
+[note, this is += key on German KB setting on US keyboard]
+[unable to reproduce w/German KB setting -- need German laptop?]
+
+** numeric keysetting bug
+
+
+* Other:
+
+** better recog of unicode scripts / Greek / composition
+
+** Ctrl-g not picked up in all situations get --experimental-ctrl-g in 'compile' working better
+
+** Exec-dump not working on GNUstep (so slow startup).
+
+** occasional size too large for screen errors
+
+** undo for color-drag face customization
+
+
+
+
+---------
+* DONE
+
+Try font-backend mechanism (see font.h).
+
+Auto font substitution?
+
+ns-option-modifier (alias for ns-alternate-modifier)
+
+ns-control-modifier, ns-function-modifier (new)
+
+- Frame bugs:
+  - create frame on second monitor fails (due to frame-parameters).
+
+toolbar bugs
+
+fix cursor disappears on italic text bug
+
+fix scrollbar erase on Ctrl-l bug
+
+Menubar emacs-21 compatibility.  Make this and command-is-meta
+    switchable at startup.  Switch mouse handling to 3-button compatible.
+
+mouse button normalization
+
+
+[rc1 released]
+
+
+shift-alt-h does produce Ó (according C-h k), but this glyph is not
+always shown completely, it seems to depend on the font used
+
+[width estimation still off; this character is 211 = 0xD3]
+
+Another attempt at composite rendering.
+
+shift-alt-6 does not produce ^ (dead key) but &.
+[adding alt continues to pick up the '&' interpretation, but in other
+ apps this suddenly changes it to a dead key]
+
+- italic in Courier is still cut off
+
+- dead keys end isearch w/o allowing typing
+[need to insert to minibuffer if that is active]
+
+When using the Dvorak with Qwerty keyboard shortcuts keyboard layout
+(hereon in referred to as Dvorak-Qwerty), keyboard shortcuts
+erroneously use the Dvorak layout. e.g. The Qwerty H key becomes D in
+Dvorak, but with Dvorak-Qwerty the same key should be used when
+hitting Cmd-H to hide an application. In Emacs.app with a
+Dvorak-Qwerty layout I must hit Cmd-J (Qwerty J becomes H in Dvorak)
+to hide the app.
+
+- menus
+
+- consolidate FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER extension hacks
+
+- mouse-1 activation problems (buttons, etc.): check keyboard.c HAVE_NS sections
+
+- clean up bg fill code in font->draw(), and change conditions on when called with bg=yes
+
+- clean up / optimize the metrics caching -- consider reducing memory load
+
+- non-encapsulated build
+
+- test color-drag face customization (accuracy and saving)
+
+- look at ns-mark-nav replacement
+
+- gnustep
+
+- documentation:
+  - "stipple" images, alpha, color-drag, etc.
+  - make sure everyone finds it
+
+
+[rc2 released]
+
+- recheck font width determination for variable-width non-wide fonts
+
+- resize-drag
+
+- colored bitmaps (use NSCalibratedRGBColorspace for the bitmap and
+  add a method setBitmapForegroundColor:color to twiddle the bits
+
+- resize title printing bug
+
+
+[rc2a released]
+
+- naming: cursor "line" -> "bar", "bar" -> underscore
+
+- incorporate Pete's locallisp patch
+
+- document needed sudo for compile --shared-lisp
+
+
+[patch 20071010_rc2a released]
+
+- clean up ns-menu-bar.el and try folding into ns-win.el
+
+- fix jaggedy startup screen w/black bkgrd
+
+- Pete's fringe weirdness
+
+- iconification: use shrunk image for non-finder types
+
+- toolbar updating
+
+
+[patch 20071015_rc2a released]
+
+- multi-TTY merge
+
+- terminal mode weird colors (real fix)
+
+- Frame bugs:
+  - a full-height frame will be shrunk on defocus, focus
+    [actually must be over-height, but it's a little overzealous in the
+     shrinking; probably happens in x_set_window_size]
+  - adding toolbar on full-height frame requires resize to avoid scrambling
+
+- Buffers menu brokenness
+
+- inability to use ARGB colors problem
+
+- cut buffer in TTY
+
+
+[rc3 released]
+
+- drop MULTI_KBOARD
+
+- mic-paren removal (also see http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/mic-paren.el)
+
+- describe-key problem
+
+- drop need for preload advice (print-buffer workaround)
+
+- new frame placement ignores parameters [cannot replicate]
+
+- white text on background alpha
+
+- Multi-TTY: switching input between tty and GUI frames still needs work.
+  Once ns_select() and ns_read_socket() are being called, the regular terminal
+  input route seems ineffective.  Furthermore NSApp activate events are not
+  picked up when attempting to read in terminal mode.
+  (Tests: make-frame-on-tty /dev/ttyp#, make-frame-on-display)
+
+- remove ns-yes-or-no-p, try again to improve looks of regular dialog in nsmenu.m
