1 Tasks needed before the next release.
3 * TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
5 ** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
6 make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.
8 ** Regenerate the pdf versions of the reference cards in etc/refcards/.
10 ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
14 LANG Translator Status
23 ** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.
25 ** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.
29 ** Does deleting frames run Lisp code? If so, can we get rid of that?
30 It is a dangerous design.
31 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html
33 ** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?
34 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html
36 ** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake. Those features should not
37 be part of Gnus. They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
38 rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been
39 minimized. I don't know what is left to do here.
41 ** sdl.web@gmail.com, 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect
42 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg02091.html

49 (ps-do-despool): If ps-lpr-switches is not a list, force it to be one.
51 ** In C, use EMACS_INT for variables and structure members
52 for buffer/string positions. E.g. struct it, struct text_pos.
56 ** Clean up Emacs.app references in code and documentation.
58 ** Verify if doc/emacs/macos.texi is still useful, remove it if it is not.
60 ** Document multi-tty features
61 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01639.html
62 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01602.html
64 ** Document new font backend
66 ** Document XEmbed support
68 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
70 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
71 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
72 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
73 likewise in the respective language.
75 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
76 names of the people who have checked it.
79 ----------------------------------
125 fortran-xtra.texi -- rgm
132 macos.texi -- contents need to be evaluated and see what is still
133 relevant after the NS merge. (If this is here, why is ns-emacs.texi
134 relegated to doc/misc?)
155 ** Check the Lisp manual.
210 ** CEDET (not for 23.1 due to paperwork issues, perhaps for 23.2)
213 ** pov-mode (probably not for Emacs-23: waiting for a Free POV-Ray).
