* doc/emacs/misc.texi (Single Shell): Don't document Lisp usage of shell-command. Tidy up discussion of synchronicity. Add index entries for async-shell-command. (Interactive Shell): Note that M-x shell uses shell-file-name. Note change in behavior in Emacs 24. (Shell Mode): Shell mode now uses completion-at-point. (Shell Prompts): Emphasize that comint-use-prompt-regexp isn't the default method for recognizing prompts nowadays. (Shell Ring): Add xref to Minibuffer History. (Directory Tracking): Explain Dirtrack mode in more detail. (Term Mode): Fix index entries. (Paging in Term): Merge into Term Mode. (Serial Terminal, Emacs Server, emacsclient Options): Copyedits. (Printing): Fix xref. State default of lpr-switches. (PostScript): Remove obsolete sentence. Omit description of non-interactive behaviors. (Hyperlinking): Improve description. (Browse-URL): Using compose-mail for mailto URLs is the default. Document browse-url-mailto-function. (Goto Address mode): Add index entries. Add xref to Browse-URL. (FFAP): FFAP is not a minor mode. (Amusements): M-x lm was renamed to M-x landmark. Document nato-region.

Tasks needed before the next release.
|
||
|
||
* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
|
||
|
||
** Manuals
|
||
Check cross-references between the manuals (eg from emacs to elisp)
|
||
are correct. You can use something like the following in the info
|
||
directory in the Emacs build tree:
|
||
|
||
emacs -Q --eval "(setq Info-default-directory-list '(\".\"))" \
|
||
-f info-xref-check-all
|
||
|
||
make emacs.dvi, elisp.dvi, and deal with any errors (undefined
|
||
references etc) in the output. Break any overfull lines.
|
||
Underfull hboxes are not serious, but it can be nice to get rid of
|
||
them if a simple rephrasing or rearrangement will work.
|
||
|
||
Update the master menu and detailed menu (eg the antinews version).
|
||
The command texinfo-multiple-files-update can do this, but you
|
||
probably want to apply the results selectively (eg the current master
|
||
menu has better line-breaks than the automatic version). It includes
|
||
the menu-entry name (if there is one) as well as the node name - using
|
||
only the latter looks better. Also, it doesn't seem to handle nested
|
||
includes, so will miss edebug.texi etc.
|
||
|
||
Check for widow and orphan lines in the printed manual; make sure all
|
||
the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted. Orphans/widows
|
||
are cases where the first/last line of a paragraph is on its own at
|
||
the end/start of a page, or where the last word in a paragraph is on
|
||
its own at the start of a line. It looks better if you reword/respace
|
||
things to avoid these. (AFAIK, there is no way to find these except
|
||
paging through the whole manual.) This should be the very last thing
|
||
you do, since any change can alter the layout.
|
||
|
||
** Check the keybindings in the refcards are correct, and add any new ones.
|
||
Regenerate the pdf versions in etc/refcards/.
|
||
What paper size are the English versions supposed to be on?
|
||
On Debian testing, the packages texlive-lang-czechslovak and
|
||
texlive-lang-polish will let you generate the cs-* and sk-* pdfs.
|
||
The Makefile rules did not work for me, I had to use something like:
|
||
csplain -output-format=pdf cs-refcard
|
||
|
||
** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.

** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.
|
||
|
||
** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.
|
||
|
||
** Consider bumping customize-changed-options-previous-release.
|
||
|
||
* BUGS
|
||
|
||
** 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.
|
||
|
||
** Check for modes which bind M-s that conflicts with a new global binding M-s
|
||
and change key bindings where necessary. The current list of modes:
|
||
|
||
1. Gnus binds `M-s' to `gnus-summary-search-article-forward'.
|
||
|
||
2. Minibuffer binds `M-s' to `next-matching-history-element'
|
||
(not useful any more since C-s can now search in the history).
|
||
|
||
3. `center-line' in Text mode was already moved to the text formatting
|
||
keymap as `M-o M-s' (thus this binding is not necessary any more
|
||
in `nroff-mode-map' too and can be removed now from the nroff mode
|
||
because it can now use the global key binding `M-o M-s' `center-line').
|
||
|
||
4. PCL-CVS binds `M-s' to `cvs-status', and log-edit-mode binds it to
|
||
`log-edit-comment-search-forward'. Perhaps search commands
|
||
on the global key binding `M-s' are useless in these modes.
|
||
|
||
* DOCUMENTATION
|
||
|
||
** 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.
