-* 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
-
-** 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. Shell mode binds `M-s' to `comint-next-matching-input'.
- This key binding can be changed later when we will implement
- incremental search through the shell history.
-
-4. `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').
-
-5. 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.
-
-** sdl.web@gmail.com, 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect
-http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg02091.html
-
-Fixed by this change?
-
-2007-11-09 Vinicius Jose Latorre <viniciusjl@ig.com.br>
-
- * ps-print.el: [...]
- (ps-do-despool): If ps-lpr-switches is not a list, force it to be one.
-
-** In C, use EMACS_INT for variables and structure members
-for buffer/string positions. E.g. struct it, struct text_pos.
-
-* DOCUMENTATION
-
-** Clean up Emacs.app references in code and documentation.
-
-** 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.

+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 "(progn (require 'info) (setq Info-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.
