+- make sure the last line of text layouts include leading
+
+- documentation notes:
+ - static binaries do not link system libraries, meaning apps still depend on shared GTK+, etc.
+ - ui*Buttons are NOT compatible with uiButton functions
+
+- more robust layout handling
+ - uiFormTie() for ensuring multiple uiForms have the same label area widths
+ - uiSizeGroup for size groups (GtkSizeGroup on GTK+, auto layout constraints on OS X; consider adding after 10.8 is gone)
+
+- windows: should the initial hwndInsertAfter be HWND_BOTTOM for what we want?
+
+- windows: document the rules for controls and containers
+
+- windows: document the minimum size change propagation system
+
+- provisions for controls that cannot be grown? especiailly for windows
+
+- LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX has the 10.11 SDK; see if we can knock it down to 10.8 too; OS version is fine
+ - apply the OS version stuff to the test program and examples too
+ - what about micro versions (10.8.x)? force 10.8.0?
+
+- go through ALL the objective-c objects we create and make sure we are using the proper ownership (alloc/init and new are owned by us, all class method constructors are autoreleased - thanks mikeash)
+
+- on OS X, edit shortcuts like command-C working require that the menu entries be defined, or so it seems, even for NSAlert
+ - other platforms?
+
+- make sure all OS X event handlers that use target-action set the action to NULL when the target is unset
+
+- provide a way to get the currently selected uiTab page? set?
+
+- make it so that the windows cntrols only register a resize if their new minimum size is larger than their current size to easen the effect of flicker
+ - it won't remove that outright, but it'll help
+
+- add an option to the test program to run page7b as an independent test in its own window
+ - same for page7c
+
+- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/01/12/57833.aspx provide a DEF file on Windows
+
+- all ports: update state when adding a control to a parent
+- should uiWindowsSizing be computed against the window handle, not the parent?
+
+- DPI awareness on windows
+
+- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4543087/applicationwillterminate-and-the-dock-but-wanting-to-cancel-this-action
+
+ultimately:
+- MAYBE readd lifetime handling/destruction blocking
+- related? [12:25] <ZeroOne> And the blue outline on those buttons [ALL clicked buttons on Windows 7] won't go away
+ - I get this too
+ - not anymore
+- SWP_NOCOPYBITS to avoid button redraw issues on Windows when not in tab, but only when making resize faster
+- secondary side alignment control in uiBox
+- Windows: don't abort if a cleanup function fails?
+
+- 32-bit Mac OS X support (requires lots of code changes)
+ - change the build system to be more receptive to arch changes
+
+notes to self
+- explicitly document label position at top-left corner
+- explicitly document that if number of radio buttons >= 1 there will always be a selection
+- mark that uiControlShow() on a uiWindow() will bring to front and give keyboard focus because of OS X
+ - make sure ShowWindow() is sufficient for zorder on Windows
+- document that you CAN use InsertAt functions to insert at the first invalid index, even if the array is empty
+- note that uiTabInsertAt() does NOT change the current tab page (it may change its index if inserting before the current page)
+- note that the default action for uiWindowOnClosing() is to return 0 (keep the window open)
+- note that uiInitOptions should be initialized to zero
+- explicitly document that uiCheckboxSetChecked() and uiEntrySetText() do not fire uiCheckboxOnToggled() and uiEntryOnChanged(), respectively
+- note that if a menu is requested on systems with menubars on windows but no menus are defined, the result is a blank menubar, with whatever that means left up to the OS to decide
+- note that handling of multiple consecutive separators in menus, leading separators in menus, and trailing separators in menus are all OS-defined
+- note that uiDrawMatrixInvert() does not change the matrix if it fails
+- note that the use of strings that are not strictly valid UTF-8 results in undefined behavior
+
+- test RTL
+ - automate RTL
+- now that stock items are deprecated, I have to maintain translations of the Cancel, Open, and Save buttons on GTK+ myself (thanks baedert in irc.gimp.net/#gtk+)
+ - either that or keep using stock items
+
+- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2014/02/26/10503148.aspx
+
+- build optimizations
+
+- use http://www.appveyor.com/ to do Windows build CI since people want CI
+
+
+
+
+
+
+- consider just having the windows backend in C++
+ - consider having it all in C++
+
+
+
+don't forget LONGTERMs as well
+
+notes
+- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/03/29/101121.aspx on accelerators
+
+- group and tab should act as if they have no child if the child is hidden
+on windows
+
+
+
+- a way to do recursive main loops
+ - how do we handle 0 returns from non-recursive uiMainStep() calls that aren't the main loop? (event handlers, for instance)
+- should repeated calls to uiMainStep() after uiQuit() return 0 reliably? this will be needed for non-recursive loops

+[01:41:47] <vrishab> Hi. does pango support "fgalpha". I see that foreground="112233xx" works ( alpha=xx ), but fgalpha is a no-op
+[01:52:29] <vrishab> pango_attr_foreground_alpha_new (32767) seems to be called in either case, but only the "foreground" attr works
+[01:56:09] lolek (lolek@ip-91-244-230-76.simant.pl) joined the channel
+[01:57:48] <vrishab> ok. seems like "foreground" is mandatory attr, 1. "foreground-without-alpha" + "alpha" works 2. "foreground-with-alpha" works. 3. "alpha" alone doesn
+[01:57:52] <vrishab> 't work
+[01:58:29] <vrishab> Is there a way to just specify alpha on the current foreground color ?
+[02:00:23] lolek (lolek@ip-91-244-230-76.simant.pl) left the channel

+[02:12:37] <andlabs> huh
+[02:12:41] <andlabs> what version of pango?
+[02:13:05] <vrishab> the latest .
+[02:15:00] <vrishab> 1.40.3
+[02:20:46] <andlabs> I'll ahve to keep this in mind then, thanks
+[02:20:59] <andlabs> if only there was a cairo-specific attribute for alpha...
