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.

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?) ** set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line Probably a Windows only bug. Reported by Drew Adams on bug-gnu-emacs on 2007-08-07. It seems that the bug manifests itself only if resizing the frame makes the menu bar wrap before. On 2007-08-16 Glenn Morris reported on emacs-devel that he was not able to reproduce the bug on a GNU/Linux system. * 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 ** 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 ** 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 ** Frame title no more updated after calling `set-frame-configuration' Report by Sebastien Rocca Serra on emacs-devel from 2007-08-30. martin rudalics is looking at this. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01632.html ** herring@lanl.gov: find-func: can no longer find adviced subrs This ought to work. * 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.
