No, I'd like to proceed with the release progress.  It's a bit
ambitious to discuss things like full Unicode support, migration to a
new toolkit and whatever else fantasies come to mind while we need
a couple of years for a simple maintenance release, isn't it?

This is a list of work currently going on just to keep track.
Personally, I wouldn't see any of the bugs in the tracker as
release-critical, but this isn't the point.  It just doesn't help to
start working on a bug, and a couple of weeks later we forget about
it, because it wasn't completed - 'completed' means including tested
and comitted to cvs.

I have applied it for testing.  I got compiler warnings about const in
static int updateGutterWidth(const WindowInfo* window) and
static int updateLineNumDisp(const WindowInfo* window)

Tony and I both agreed with each other that the matching of newlines
should be changed.  Now changing the regex syntax, although the syntax
will be made more consistent and useful, might affect some other users
as well.  So, the question was wether or not this would be alright.

It isn't in the tracker, so don't forget about it.

Yes, it's available (don't know if it is on SF), and I listed this
because it makes a lot of sense IMO (close to a bug fix).

It is one of the things set to priority 9.  Maintaining such a macro
set will be more work - just like problems with the built-in macros
fire back now and then.  I think it rather comes down to a project of
its own (somewhat similar to jedit's plug-ins project) than to be
coupled with nedit releases, especially longly overdue maintenance
releases.

I guess right from the start, ie the 1st committed version of these macros.

Yes, there I was a bit confused, since something similar is mentioned
in the release notes:

  - Replace operation where the result exceeded a fixed length
    silently clipped the result.  The limit has been increased and the
    behaviour on failure is now configurable. (SF bug #1015499)

This one is over 5 years in the tracker, and without help from someone
with VMS it's likely to stay there, so we have no release?
