List of features to be implemented (not in any particular order)
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- collaborative editing (see discussion with Erik Demaine)
-- porting to Win32 and MacOS; merge Nokia port
-- multiple-scenario undo history
-
-- collaborative: allow non-x86 endianness (for ints, for floats?)
-- collaborative: have an initial undo item = contents of the initial
- xoj file + attachments for bitmap, pdf, and ps backgrounds
-
-- cleanup of undo history (keep track of refcounts, delete old undo)
- save-and-clear-undo ?
-
-- RandR / recalibration awareness?
- (e.g. if xinput events are far away from core events, re-query geometry?)
- or see if removing the GTK bugfix would help? -- e.g. by recalling an
- internal gtk init function?
+THINGS DONE IN THIS RELEASE:
DONE: fix GTK+ 2.16/2.17 XInput issues with scrollbars and menus
DONE: fix bug 2826845 (shape recognizer accel doesn't work in fullscreen mode)
DONE: option to have buttons *toggle* the tool rather than act as tool
(ie button 2 causes button 1 to map to tool 2) [Dylan Thurston]
DONE: patch to fix focus + allow up/dn in single page mode (Bob McElrath)
- also comment out contents of reset_focus() ? (tracker patch #2494022)
DONE: patch to fix underscores in MRU filename display (Bob McElrath)
DONE: patch to avoid tiny file dialogs (Bob McElrath)
+DONE: further fixes for focus; can Esc out of page selection box
+DONE: further fixes for xinput under GTK+ 2.17
+DONE: option to auto-load *.pdf.xoj instead of *.pdf (Bob McElrath)
+DONE: look for PDF backgrounds in path of xoj file before prompting user
+DONE: paper color chooser (after a patch by ojb)
+DONE: remove "Discard core events" from options menu
+DONE: get_pressure_multiplier() accesses correct members of event union
+DONE: address recognizer bug on single-segment strokes (division by 0)
+DONE: remove binary installer (poppler is binary incompatible across versions)
+ but provide configure script
+

+** patch: ortho/snap (revised Apr 13 2009)
+ xournal_ortho_snap_patch_4 (by Josef Pavlicek)
+
+** patch (Ian-Woo Kim): multicolumn mode + LASSO SELECTION
+ xournal_lasso_multipage_zoom_button_20090620.patch
+
+** autosave patch (Edward Yang) (fix: optional only, w/ menu + cfgfile
+ entries; fix: should clean up autosave.xoj.bg* files too; config interval)
+ 0001-Implement-autosave-for-documents-revised.patch (2 seconds after
+ modification, vs original 5 seconds)
-- paper color chooser (see tracker 2083103)
-- prerelease: update help file (remove references to pdftoppm/libgnomeprint
- & update to poppler/gtkprint)
-- REMOVE BINARY INSTALLER (poppler breaks ABI all the time)
- but add a configure script (+ Makefile.in, etc ?)
-- document config options into manual file?
- PDF bg memory usage throttling / delete oldest pdf backgrounds
- replace ttsubset by something more modern? (eg. from cairo ?)
- auto-hide patch from ~/prog/src/xournal-autohide/ ?
(check for cpu usage; handle BOTH edges
and only (un)hide stuff at the correct edge!)
-** remove reset_focus() and calls to it, after enough testing.
- check if we should call reset_recognizer() in some of those places
- (e.g., undo/redo?)
-** if bg pdf not found in absolute path, look in path of xoj file before
- prompting user.
** UI update (Bob McElrath) -- eliminating status bar, compact layout,
"compact interface" by default; themes, with line in config file
to load pixmaps from pixmaps/$THEME/ (see Jan 9, 2009 emails)
-** autosave patch (Edward Yang) (fix: optional only, w/ menu + cfgfile
- entries; fix: should clean up autosave.xoj.bg* files too; config interval)
- horizontal mode instead of dual-view / multicolumn ?
-- patch (ikim@physics.wisc.edu): multicolumn mode + LASSO SELECTION
-- patch: ortho/snap (revised Apr 13 2009)
-** FIXME: get_pressure_multiplier() should access correct members
- of event struct, like xinput_coords()
-** FIX RECOGNIZER BUG: for single-segment strokes (e.g. single click),
- I_xx and I_yy = 0, sometimes -0 -> Rad = nan (should I_xx = abs(...) ?)
- also Det = division by 0, should return 0 if ixx + iyy = 0.
- (MAYBE: fix inertia calc: integrate dm over each segment rather than dm.pt[i])
+** "new page before/after" on a PDF bg page should ask: same page, other page of
+ PDF file, default paper
- new recognizer icon (andruk on patches tracker)
- recognizer: if variable-width, associate average width
- recognizer should snap to existing recognized geometric shapes
and maybe also snap-to-vertices (option for ruler and recognizer)?
- config option: config save current tool options instead of default ones
-- "new page before/after" on a PDF bg page should ask: same page, other page of
- PDF file, default paper
- bug in truetype subset generation w/ Adobe 9, see if gtk-print any better?
- drag-and-drop, copy-paste text & images directly into xournal
adjust event coordinates by inverse rotation).
- rotate PDF background pages (individually wrt each other, see #2099935)
- switch to libglade, and allow customization of key shortcuts (accels)
+
+- command to copy a selected shape to a keybinding that will paste it
+ (so one can define symbols to insert into typed notes) (e.g. "be able
+ to bind Ctrl-B to draw a \beta" for class notes). (shape, binding) sets are
+ local to one session (different for different classes; but save them into
+ the xoj file maybe ?) [Felix Giannelia 09/29/2009]
