Tasks needed before the next release.
* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
** `undo-ask-before-discard', currently set to t for debugging purposes
has to be set to nil: when t, it can leak memory and cause other problems.
** Update release dates of manuals.
** Get rid of overfull and underfull boxes in manuals.
** Check for widow and orphan lines in manuals;
make sure all the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted.
** Update facemenu-unlisted-faces, adding whatever other
face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
** Update AUTHORS.
** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
Requests to have been sent out on 2006-05-23 (Reiner Steib).

(*) If the assignment of Sven Joachim arrives in time, we can install his
update for de-refcard.tex.
If there's no update for a translation on 2006-06-07, notify RMS.
** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME
and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons.
* BUGS
** We need a way a Lisp file encoded in iso-2022 can assure
reliable decoding regardless of user options.
** JD Smith's 17 Apr 2006 bug report that CVS operations
get mysterious unreproducible failures.
** Is there a basic problem with cl-byte-compile-compiler-macro?
** Markus Gritsch's report about Emacs looping on Windoze with the following
.emacs file, and then reduce Emacs frame width to "something quite narrow":
(setq-default truncate-lines t)
(custom-set-variables
'(hscroll-margin 20)
'(hscroll-step 1)
)
** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
In its current form, it sys_select says the socket is ready, so we
call server_accept_connection which again calls accept() which returns
-1 with errno == WSAEWOULDBLOCK (10035) indicating that there is no
pending connection to accept.
It seems that to fix this, w32 server sockets must use WSAAsyncSelect
+ FD_ACCEPT to request notifications of incoming connections...
* DOCUMENTATION
** Check man/info.texi.
** Check the Emacs Lisp manual.
Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
regarding recent changes by at least two people. After each file
name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
people who have checked it.
