7.8 blockers

[Peter Bortas at Pike developers forum]

Me, grubba an Nilsson enumerated the major 7.8 blockers
yesterday. They are as far as we could determine:

[ ] not done
[/] tentatively fixed
[X] fixed

    Owner       Issue
[ ] grubba      Deprecated type should print warnings.
[ ] grubba      Implement #pragma to turn off deprecated warnings.
[ ] zino        Known crash on Windows.
[ ] mast/zino   New Windows build environment.
[ ] per/marcus  Performance regression --with-assembler.
                (per and marcus weren't present so item assigned
                 without consent... per says memprotect() is
                 responsible as far as -x benchmark goes.)
[ ] nilsson     Running the test suite should not produce warnings.
[ ] zino/mast   Building external modules should work.
[ ] nilsson     Write ChangeLog.
[ ]             Deprecated type should be extracted to documentation.
[ ]             Documentation should transform from XML to HTML (broken)
[ ] nilsson     Arg module should be fixed or removed.

Non-blockers:

[ ] jhs         Build (SVG) graph from the -x benchmark results
                Pikefarm delivers to track development.


If you think you could help with any of the items please
do. Especially the items that have no one assigned to them yet.
