Tasks needed before the next release.

* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE

** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.

** Regenerate the pdf versions of the reference cards in etc/refcards/.

** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.

Emacs 22 translators:

LANG	Translator            Status
cs	Pavel Janík           
de	Sven Joachim          
fr	Eric Jacoboni         
pl	Włodek Bzyl           
pt-br	Rodrigo Real          
ru	Alex Ott              
sk	Miroslav Vaško        

** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.

** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.

* BUGS

** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
It is a dangerous design.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html

** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html

** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake.  Those features should not
be part of Gnus.  They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been
minimized.  I don't know what is left to do here.

** [e-mail], 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg02091.html

Fixed by this change?

2007-11-09  Vinicius Jose Latorre  <[e-mail]>

	* ps-print.el: [...]
	(ps-do-despool): If ps-lpr-switches is not a list, force it to be one.

** unicode-merge issues:

*** The data segment size increased after the unicode-2 merge.
The "data" size increased for emacs from ~4MB to ~11MB on x86.
The temacs sizes are comparable.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg00951.html

** Clean up Emacs.app references in code and documentation.

* DOCUMENTATION

** Verify if doc/emacs/macos.texi is still useful, remove it if it is not.

** Document multi-tty features
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01639.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01602.html

** Document new font backend

** Document XEmbed support

** Check the Emacs Tutorial.

The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
likewise in the respective language.

After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
names of the people who have checked it.
