   9

  23 ** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.
  24
  25 ** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.
  26
  27 * BUGS
  28
  29 ** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
  30 It is a dangerous design.
  31 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html
  32
  33 ** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?
  34 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html
  35
  36 ** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake.  Those features should not
  37 be part of Gnus.  They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
  38 rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been
  39 minimized.  I don't know what is left to do here.
  40
  41 ** sdl.web@gmail.com, 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect
  42 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg02091.html
  43
  44 Fixed by this change?

  47
  48         * ps-print.el: [...]
  49         (ps-do-despool): If ps-lpr-switches is not a list, force it to be one.
  50
  51 ** In C, use EMACS_INT for variables and structure members
  52 for buffer/string positions.  E.g. struct it, struct text_pos.
  53
  54 * DOCUMENTATION
  55
  56 ** Clean up Emacs.app references in code and documentation.
  57
  58 ** Verify if doc/emacs/macos.texi is still useful, remove it if it is not.
  59
  60 ** Document multi-tty features
  61 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01639.html
  62 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01602.html
  63
  64 ** Document new font backend
  65
  66 ** Document XEmbed support
  67
  68 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
  69
  70 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  71 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  72 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
  73 likewise in the respective language.
  74
  75 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
  76 names of the people who have checked it.
