Release Critical Bugs
---------------------

None!

Open Bugs
---------

 * 1150: The GTK menu is not rebuilt when calling mp.update_ui().
 * 1170: The curses driver doesn't redraw when the terminal window
   is resized.
 * 1176: Add interface to set the undo levels.
 * 1189: mp.drv.form() cannot be used from the command line in win32.
 * 1194: Underlined text doesn't work under win32.
 * 1199: On GTK, the default font (Mono 12, seemingly an alias to an
   actual font) doesn't get its width calculated correctly, so right
   margin detection and mouse positioning doesn't work. To workaround
   this, set mp.config.font_face (in the config file) to an existing
   monospaced font, like "DejaVu Mono" or "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono".
 * 1227: The length of an open combobox (at least under XP)
   is ridiculous.
 * 1230: Action 'eval_doc' seems to fail forever after an error.
 * 1233: Document all MPSL code using mp_doccer (at least, the
   interface functions).
 * 1242: There cannot be two tags with the same name, as they are
   stored as hash keys.
 * 1249: Change TUI dialogs to be really dialogs.
 * 1259: Apply Jeremy's indent_block().
 * 1260: Apply Jeremy's outdent_block().
 * 1261: Apply Jeremy's function_list().
 * 1268: Implement mp.timer() in the KDE4 driver.

Pending Enhancements
--------------------

 * 1100: Paren matching should be syntax-highlight-dependent, so that
   HTML / XML / SGML match < > pairs.
 * 1101: Paren matching should not be limited to just parentheses and
   similar, but to full strings (very useful for HTML open / close tags.)
 * 1109: Add jump to matching paren.
 * 1166: Add a file open navigator to TUI.
 * 1183: Many actions should operate only on the selection block
   (expand this issue).
 * 1203: Change the drawing engine to only apply the syntax highlighting
   regexes whenever the modified flag has changed or the viewport is
   different.
 * 1225: Add a regex (or similar) filter for lines. Lines matching it
   (or not) won't appear on screen.
 * 1266: Add a new tab style, in which the next tab column is taken from
   the previous line.

Closed
------

 * 1103: When the end of a coloured block (for example, a comment in
   C code) is lost below the last line, it's not coloured (this probably
   means there should exist 'postread lines')(Fixable with special regular
   expressions; Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:49:45 +0100).
 * 1114: Add delete line (Thu, 24 Nov 2005 20:12:05 +0100).
 * 1121: Treatment of EOL in last line is uncertain
   (Thu, 08 Dec 2005 20:01:09 +0100).
 * 1123: When deleting the only line of a file, it gets mad
   (Thu, 08 Dec 2005 20:09:42 +0100).
 * 1104: When moving up / down, the X position should match the visual
   column and not the exact one. Now, when moving among lines with a
   different number of tabs, the cursor jumps weirdly
   (Fri, 09 Dec 2005 10:59:01 +0100).
 * 1105: Use a reasonable build system with config.sh
   (Thu, 15 Dec 2005 08:32:19 +0100).
 * 1124: Add the multi-document management (Thu, 15 Dec 2005 11:12:14 +0100).

   (Thu, 15 Dec 2005 12:09:35 +0100).

   (Mon, 19 Dec 2005 17:17:19 +0100).

   into account (Wed, 21 Dec 2005 18:30:22 +0100).

   draw a single space instead (Wed, 21 Dec 2005 18:45:08 +0100).

 * 1119: Add learn mode (Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:55:41 +0100).
 * 1129: Add '+line' command line argument (Tue, 24 Jan 2006 06:22:49 +0100).
 * 1130: When the last open file is closed (so a new, empty file is created
   automatically), the tab files are not rebuilt (as the size of the tab set
   is the same) (Tue, 14 Feb 2006 08:08:55 +0100).
 * 1132: Add move word right (Mon, 20 Feb 2006 17:23:57 +0100).

 * 1138: The call to mp.load_tags() in mp_tags.mpsl startup does not
   work because at that time the colors are not built (so there is no
   mp.colors.tag.attr) (Mon, 05 Jun 2006 19:25:32 +0200).
 * 1144: Add the menu (Tue, 06 Jun 2006 19:09:38 +0200).

   (Tue, 13 Jun 2006 16:19:11 +0200).
