Perhaps we should make a short summary of what still has to be done
before we can release 4.6.0.
*) The mime-type association seems essentially solver by Byrial,and it is just
a matter of doing it now.
*) The bad bug with the black clock I was wrestling with before my holiday
is now solved.
*) I just pushed a patch to hgm.nubati that attempts to fix the --> bug
#34987; perhaps
someone can test if I got the right pattern to pre-empt the shout
detection.
*) The problem with the width of the menu bar seems to be ameliorated by
the latest
patch on this enough to be acceptable. I am sure we could continue to
improve it
almost indefinitely, but I don't want to uphold the release for that
indefinitely.
*) I pushed a patch to reassign Ctrl+. to <Enter>. If everyone agrees with
that, we are
done with this bug (#3500) as far as I am concerned. But perhaps I
should add this
functionality to WinBoard to?
*) I think switching back from mono-mode (bug #34990) is satisfactorily
fixed by my patch
in hgm.nubati. I don't think it is necessary to automatically switch
back what was
forced by necessity when the necessity disappears; there are many other
places in
XBoard where options affect each other, and we don't do it there either.
*) I still have to take a closer look to what exactly the status of this
20-sec startup delay
currently is.
*) We should still have a look at optimization level of some time-critical
pieces of code
used in loading huge PGN files (in particular moves.c and parser.c).
Any more loose ends?
