List of known bugs and requested features
Notes:
- The IDs in this list are only used for internal reference in this wiki.
- They aren't fully consecutive, the first half is bumped with each release (minors, not micro, in accordance with the revised numbering), the second half re-starts at 1 with each release and increases with each bug reported/found.
- Since I use no formal bugtracking system some older bugs will be missing.
