MINI FREEZE:
|
|
|
|
Status: ON
|
|
|
|
What is this:
|
|
|
|
We will have lots more of these during e17 devel for serveral reasons. A mini
|
|
freeze is a call to STOP adding new features and funkiness. It means people
|
|
need to stop and go BACK over their code and fix FIXME's. All those bits of
|
|
code where things are string together with sticky tape and chewing gum need
|
|
to be fixed PROPERLY. This may mean pooling code into a common subsystem
|
|
(this is not a new feature. it is fixing loose ends with design). This may
|
|
mean adding api calls to make implementation cleaner or remove hacks. it may
|
|
mean more debugging tools in things like e_object and more checks for sanity.
|
|
|
|
This means testing stuff so it doesnt crash. or make things unusable or leak
|
|
memory. check leaks (use valgrind or whatever tools) to check for leaks, and
|
|
for stability issues. double check you return the correct values from
|
|
functions or use return values. Check callbacks. Compile with -W -Wall to
|
|
help find obvious bugs waiting to happen. Modules need to clean up on
|
|
shutdown. Code needs to use the appropriate subsystem that is available for
|
|
what it wants OR a subsystem needs writing if it will be a shared/common
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
This issues list must be brought to 0 size before E17 features can move
|
|
further.
|
|
|
|
Current freeze issues are:
|
|
|
|
ISSUES:
|
|
|

FIXME: group these TODO items into:
|
|
|
|
1. essential features
|
|
2. fixes
|
|
3. cleanups
|
|
4. optimisations
|
|
5. nice to have features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the things (in very short form) that need to be done to E17...

* make e17 re-locatable (ues environment var, or find out by hunting path argv[0] if its not a full path or munge the full path to the exe in argv[0])
|
|
* java apps seem to have a hard time if we dont pretend to be kwin (see e_hints.c) - get this stuff upstream to sun and get things fixed in java.
|
|
* dropshadow is not optimal and has extreme edge-case bugs
|
|
* gadget containers (shelves)
|
|
* track mouse location on a border/desktop level
|

|
|

|
|
* "immortal" windows (e will not allow that window to be closed or will refuse to exit as long as the immortal flags is set until it is unset to stop users from doing silly things like logging out while important stuff is happening in that window -a menu option for this woudl be nice)
