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. * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the attention of Windows users to fixing them. ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind Verify that the new font backend eliminates this and other Cleartype related problems. ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin. (Did we decide that is unreproducible?) * BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT ** raman@users.sf.net, sep 7: Emacs 23.0.50: Segfaults in alloc.c (batch process) http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg00690.html ** undefined reference getopt_long Report by Daniel C. Bastos <dbast0s@yahoo.com.br> on bug-gnu-emacs from 2007-08-27. Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01497.html * 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 ** grep et al should use font-lock to do highlighting, so that they respect font-lock-mode. "can't turn off font-lock" http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg00548.html ** mah@everybody.org, Sep 18: erc causes emacs to hang with multi-tty http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01765.html ** jbw@macs.hw.ac.uk, Sep 18: before-string property has no effect if display property is empty http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00094.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01816.html ** sdl.web@gmail.com, Sep 24: TLS infinite loop. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01720.html ** herring@lanl.gov: find-func: can no longer find adviced subrs This ought to work. ** \\{...} produces duplicate entries http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-05/msg00209.html ** menu indications of key bindings for remapped commands http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-05/msg01339.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. ** sdl.web@gmail.com, 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect ** timh@insightful.com, 9 Nov: X-coding-system incompatibility, and workaround ** multi-tty does not work correctly. If the server is started from a tty frame and emacsclient creates an X11 frame, the tty frame gets confused, it thinks it is an X11 frame when trying to do a C-z. This worked with server.el version 1.136, it broke after that. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-12/msg00545.html Also emacsclient does not work on Windows, it also worked with server.el version 1.136. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00710.html ** skeleton bug? Or is it now working as documented? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg01335.html ** move verilog-mode.el compile patterns into compile.el? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00234.html ** stack-trace-on-error segfaults infloop http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg02031.html ** `make bootstrap; make install' dumps another emacs http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg00311.html ** han@mijncomputer.nl, Feb 3: emacsclient misbehaves ** Mouse clicks on the menubar don't currently work with a console Following the direct use of Gpm, the menubar now needs to be considered a special part of the screen in Emacs on a console. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-06/msg00277.html ** 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 * DOCUMENTATION ** 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.
