[[!toc]] This is a list of things
that still need to be fixed before NetSurf 2.8 can be released.

Code
----

### Potential crashers

-   <s>Floating point exception on quit when no images have been
    displayed. Divide by zero in image\_cache\_fini()</s> - Fixed in
    revision 12794

### Memory usage

-   ?

### Other

-   <s>RISC OS: LWC strings remaining on exit</s> - fixed in r12805
-   <s>Amiga: resize frames redraw is broken</s> - fixed in r12802
-   Have any install targets broken? Missing resources? Trying to copy
    things that have gone?
-   Debian/Ubuntu packages

### WONTFIX in 2.8

-   GTK: URL bar and search bar border messed up with Ubuntu 10.04 theme
    -- Rounded corners are clipped. Probably the lib sexey thing is
    broken.
-   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'
