        * configure.ac: Add check for whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is needed for
          curses to work w/color.  Fixes compilation on HP-UX with older GCC,

 TODO file (? means the feature may be implemented, but not definitely)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-For the next version:
-- Undo/Redo keys (M-U and M-E)?
-- Rebindable keys?
+For the future (no targeted version, catch-all)
+- Compatibility with vi/emacs status files so we can let other editors 
+  know we're in a file?
 - FriBidi support?
 - Port to DJGPP?
 - Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
@@ -11,37 +11,43 @@ For the next version:
 - Allow indentation of marked text by spaces as well as tabs?
 - Allow indentation to add just enough columns to reach the nearest
   multiple of tabsize, rather than always adding tabsize columns?
-- Allow piping marked text to an external command and replacing it with
-  the command's output (as the internal spell checker already does with
-  the "spell" command)?
-- Rewrite the nano FAQ in SGML.
 - Allow conversion between different character sets.  Maybe use glib's
   iconv() if the system's iconv() is inadequate, since we already use
   glib's vsnprintf() if the system lacks vsnprintf()?
-- Handle window resizes better.  After we resize, we should stay
-  wherever we were before we resized, as Pico does.
-- Fix problems with color syntaxes' highlighting lines too aggressively.
 - Allow color syntaxes to apply to more than just color, so that we can
   e.g. specify a different alternate spell checker depending on which
   file type we have open.
-- Allow color syntaxes to be selected based on more than just filename
-  extension, e.g. through libmagic?
-- Allow text searches in the help browser.
+- Allow even better file type detection than we have currently, e.g. 
+  through libmagic?
 - Allow setting marks (saved positions, not to be confused with the mark
   set via Ctrl-^) at various lines and/or columns in the buffer, and
-  allow movement between them with a single keystroke.
-- Add the ability to move to different lines of the screen with a single
-  keystroke, e.g. M-` (M-~) to go to the top line, M-& (M-7) to go to
-  the center line, and M-' (M-") to go to the last line.
+  allow movement between them with a single keystroke? (we're running 
+  out of keystrokes)
 - Allow searching for and replacing newlines.
 - Allow soft wrapping as well as hard wrapping?
-- Detect when we're pasting text, so that we can handle it differently
-  from normal typing?
-- Make pasting text work as fast as it does in Pico.
 - Fix handling of bad/incomplete UTF-8 sequences to display one Unicode
   FFFD (Replacement Character) per sequence instead of one per byte.
 
-Old requests:
+For version 2.4:

+- Detect when we're pasting text, so that we can handle it differently
+  (i.e. faster than currently with screen redraws)
+- Allow piping marked text to an external command and replacing it with

+
+For version 2.2:
+- Rebindable keys? [DONE]
+- Undo/Redo keys (M-U and M-E)? [DONE]
+- Fix problems with color syntaxes' highlighting lines too aggressively [DONE]
+- Allow nano to work like a pager (read from stdin) [DONE]
+- Allow color syntaxes to be selected based on more than just filename
+  extension, [DONE]
 
 For version 2.0:
 - UTF-8 support. [DONE]
