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 postscript files of the reference cards in etc.

** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.

Reminders sent out on 2006-06-08.

** 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
Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.

** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)

* BUGS

See the copy of this file on the EMACS_22_BASE branch.

** rcyeske@gmail.com, April 22: Failure to build on OpenBSD macppc.
OpenBSD compilation works on i386.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00932.html

** Spurious redisplay bug not fixed.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00443.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00732.html

** michael.ewe@arcor.de, Apr 24: 22.0.98  not starting on Solaris 10/I386
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg01113.html

** coldwell@redhat.com, May 18: 22.0.99 emacs dumper (?) problem
This seems to be caused by a binary incompatible change for the malloc
implementation in glibc. The problem would occur when emacs is built
on one system and used on another. See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239344#c60
for a possible complete explanation.

* DOCUMENTATION

** 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.
