I haven't forgotten! As I'm travelling for a few days, I'll likely miss my "tentative" "early July" target[1] for the 1.25 release, but I don't think there are even 2 full weeks' worth of items I want to get done, and my earlier, less precise calendar objective of simply "July"[2] is not yet threatened. When I adopted (with much encouragement from this list) the new cadence and "calendar-based" strategy,[3] I implied, and later said,[4] that a trait of this approach was to eschew release goals. Goals have proven a difficult habit to break. Ones I find difficult to set aside are ones like the subject, where I've expressed an interest or commitment to incorporating a fix or improvement for the next release. Another example includes items I solicit from contributors, like Stefan Möding's pic(1)-drawn diagram of *roff line layout parameters for our Texinfo manual. Tackling that has revealed that I need to tighten up our "doc/doc.am" file with respect to maintainer-mode target rules and to develop a better command of Texinfo's image inlining facilities. Here's a list of things I'd like to get done for 1.25. * Finish refactoring libgroff's `string` class for "fastidiousness" and to seize some performance improvements. (My working copy has a revision of `string::move()` that appears to buy about a 5% improvement in total groff build time, which if my arithmetic is correct, must be an underestimate, since most of the groff build time is spent running the C++ compiler and linker, not running groff's own programs. A better measurement would involve scrubbing from the tree the documents groff generates, then rebuilding them. I have a script to do this many times to get a "good statistical sample", but haven't run it on this change yet.) * Fix Savannah #68345: [troff] stop throwing font deprecation warnings on font names the user remaps to valid names. * Fix Savannah #68309: [grohtml] want monospaced fonts back in man pages, gone in 1.22.4. I'm not _positive_ I can fix that one cleanly and correctly, but I want to try. * Fix Savannah #68216: [PATCH] tmac/es.tmac: update/correct Spanish string translations. * Fix Savannah #66987: [PATCH] [troff] refactor to kill off `ESCAPE_NEWLINE`. * Sort out the eqn(1) MathML generation problem you reported. * Incorporate Stefan Möding's pic(1)ture, as noted above.
