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.
27 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS
29 These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
30 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
32 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
33 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
34 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
36 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.

81 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-07/msg00103.html
83 ** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake. Those features should not
84 be part of Gnus. They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
88 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
90 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
91 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
92 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
93 likewise in the respective language.
95 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
96 names of the people who have checked it.
