ExtraPuTTY Known Bugs and Wish List
This is the list of bugs that need fixing, and features that want
adding, to ExtraPuTTY. The `pending' list represents
things that have not been done to the current development
code; items marked as `fixed' may not yet be in the latest release.
If you do not see a feature here, it's also worth checking the
Changes page
before mailing us to ask for the feature; it might already have
been added.
Pending
These are bugs still to be fixed and features remaining to be implemented.
The whilist have been requested by users or which seem to me like a good idea. Not all of these are likely to be implemented without outside help, and some of them will positively never be implemented.
