- 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

- 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
