Terry, thank you for resending this!
In the meantime I took the time to go through all of the listed items (quite
time consuming).
Here explicitly listed with my findings and the requests for takers, so please read through these
items quickly and if you think you could lend your hand then please say so.

I've attached a summary of the items listed in Gil's note of 2024.12.21, 07.12

Checking out the original entries from your attachment which communicates Gil's
list:

end of this URL appropriately: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/1447/)
o # 1447 "Clean builds without compiler warnings", created: 2017-05-09
It seems that the code got fixed by Erich (last commit on 2021-03-07),
such that the
"Pending work items: code" seems to be wrong;
@Erich: could you please double-check?
o #1624 ".Routine~newFile(rexxc-program) raises error 13.1", created:
2019-04-17
"Pending work items: doc+test": will take on this one myself.
o #1625 "NewRoutine() and LoadPackageFromData() raise error 13.1 on tokenized
Rexx code",
created: 2019-07-16
"Pending work items: doc+test": the only pending item is "test" (the
documentation never
indicated whether a program is compiled or not). Any takers for adding
the necessary tests
to "ooRexx/API/oo/"?
o #1656 "Lineout fails (at 2nd call) when path case not matched",
created: 2019-10-09
"Pending work items: doc+code": this seems to be wrong as a fix is in
place and no
documentation is needed.
Suggestion: correct "Pending work items" and status to "closed".
o #1742 "Stream RECLENGTH 1 issues", created: 2021-02-05, fixed the same
day by Erich
"Pending work items: test": this could be probably done by everyone on
this list, any takers?
o #1762 "pushing very large data hangs RexxQueue", created: 2021-05-04,
last update: 2021-07-07
"Pending work items: code+test": it seems that there is no fix as of
yet.
@Erich & @Rick: what do you think about this, is this still an open
bug? If not, how to
fix it?
o #1763 "StreamSocket issues", created: 2021-05-11, last update:
2022-06-27
"Pending work items: code+doc+test": it seems that this got fixed by
Erich on 2021-05-12
already?
If so, anyone on this list could edit the documentation and create a
test, any takers?
o #1786 "RexxPullFromQueue() returning invalid data for a null queue
entry", created:
2021-11-05, last update: 2021-11-05
"Pending work items: test": any takers?
o #1827 "13 Sample files missing shebang", created: 2022-07-05, last
updated: 2023-07-23
"Pending work items: code+test": any takers?
o #1837 "circular requires: some public classes are not visible",
created: 2022-08-09, last
update: 2022-12-20
"Pending work items: doc+test": editing documentation probably not
necessary, just the
test; any takers?
o #1838 "Crash while attempting to resolve a routine in a library
package.", created:
2022-08-11, last update: 2024-11-21
No pending work items, hence already completed!
Suggestion: change status to "pending".

o #353 "Embedded Database", created: 2009-05-01, last update: 2012-12-21,
status: accepted
"Pending work items: docs"; Mark Miesfield created "ooSQLite",
unfortunately, he has
passed away back then.
Looking at the given link
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooSQLite/>, there
are Linux and Windows versions from January 2023.
Not sure why this is listed.
Also, it would be possible to use BSF4ooRexx and use JDBC to not only
interact with SQLite
but also with all databases on all operating systems that have a JDBC
interface. Ad SQLite
JDBC-driver: as SQLite is so small the JDBC driver includes the
binaries for all major
operating systems (Windows, Apple, Linux) such that only the
SQLite-JDBC driver would be
needed.
Suggestion: keep state as is for the planned release of 5.1.0, discuss
afterwards what to
do with it.
o #554 "Enhance stand alone ooDialog installer to use components",
created: 2013-10-20,

Miesfield, not sure
about state, nor why it made it to this list of open items with regard

steps forward to
finalize this RFE.

created: 2014-07-04, last
updated: 2018-12-07, status: accepted
"Pending work items: test";
After checking the sources, documentation and the tests, it is clear
that the status is
wrong! Everything got implemented, documented and tested!
Suggestion: change status to "closed"
o 754 "'rexxc' binary (compiled/tokenized) data: please encode as plain text
(7-Bit-ASCII)",
created: 2019-04-07, last updated: 2020-03-08, status: accepted
"Pending work items: test";
This has been implemented and documented, the test is missing.
Will take on this pending work item myself.
o #803 "extensions to complex.cls", created: 2022-06-02, last update:
2022-06-03, status:
accepted
"Pending work items: test";
This has been implemented, the test is missing, also
"samples\usecomp.rex" should
demonstrate the use of the new methods "**" (power) and "sqrt" (square
root).
@Walter: could you add the new methods to "samples\usecomp.rex"?
And maybe even create tests for the testing framework to
"test/trunk/ooRexx/samples/complex.testGroup"?
Request for feedback and help!
