- Have any install targets broken? Missing resources? Trying to copy things that have gone?
- Debian/Ubuntu packages
WONTFIX in 2.9
- Framebuffer: leaks font stuff (Well, leaks in that it doesn't free them on exit)
- Core: cURL handles are huge, can we reduce our defaults or are we at the minimum limit of acceptability?
- New warnings since 2.7 in core (gcc version 3.4.6 (RISC OS GCCSDK 3.4.6 Release 2)):
image/png.c: In function `png_cache_convert':
image/png.c:430: warning: variable 'bitmap' might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'
image/png.c:433: warning: variable 'row_pointers' might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'
