Well, the changes are somewhat selfcontained. If I, say, change the ParagraphList layout, a cursor positioning bug or similar is most certainly not affected. More importantly, I think it would be generally a good idea if the 'Old gang' had a look at the core in its current incarnation. It has changed quite a bit, so some things that were true a year ago aren't true anymore (and the other way round). Especially I'd like people to get rid of the idea that fixing core bugs is difficult in some way. It is not. Of course, there are lots of bugs right now, certainly more than in 1.3.4 (and I am not particularly happy about this), but there shouldn't be any big 'conceptional' problems anymore. Most fixes are a line or two and in quite a few cases it is just deleting old dead code. > I hope we will get more stable very soon now. Me too. I think I'll stop with the big changes after the next session (the ParagraphList change and removal of InsetOld::owner_). What would be nice and a good starting point is a real hunt for unused code. This should give an overview of what has gone where. Andre'
