[[!toc]] This is a list of things
that still need to be fixed before NetSurf 2.9 can be released.

Code
----

### Potential crashers

-   ?

### Memory usage

-   ?

### Other

-   <s>GTK: Changing between tabs does not update the favicon to match
    the current tab's page.</s> r13460
-   Framebuffer: Linux surface support.
-   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'
