Hi,

eight of them are left after the latest updates:
#63: While improvements are possible, this can't be fixed with our gfx
subsystem. We should be able to put a limit to the number of widgets
there, though.
#139: Will they ever?
#150: We'd need someone with an IA32/FreeBSD box for that.
#180: Just tested with Hoyle 1, and it seems to be working fine. Could
anyone test with Hoyle 2, please?
#204: This affects the Amiga version of LSL2, but should be investigated
nonehteless.
#207: Win32 issue, people are working on that
#212: Cannot reproduce, might have been fixed. Could someone with an old
version of PQ2 test this, please?
#242: See commit message- I'm not sure what's supposed to happen.

If I understood you correctly on IRC yesterday, you now think that it's
working nicely, so this has been resolved.

We have a rough (major/minor version) roadmap and TODO list items as
release criteria, although we'll be skipping the PCM one unless someone
desparately wants to implement it himself in the very near future.
One thing would help, though: Automatted test suites.

I was mostly referring to whether we should postpone the upcoming release
because of having too many SCI compatibility bugs. Sorry, I guess I wasn't
too precise about that.
