Probably the current difference to Emacs 22.2 is not sufficient. I'd suggest to keep applying bug fixes also to the branch (or is it much work?) and release Emacs 22.3 in a few months. > I guess the thing to do is to go through the ChangeLogs and draw up a > list of changes made to the branch since 22.2. Then we can get a better > idea of whether a 22.3 release is warranted. Shouldn't we look at FOR-RELEASE (in the branch Emacs 22) and the bugs on the bug tracker relevant for Emacs 22.2? (I couldn't figure out how to list all Emacs 22.* bugs there.) Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
