Hi guys,

I've had this on my todo-list for a while: is it time to build the first
pretest of Emacs 25.1?

Sure! I'm working on combing debbugs this week, to get a clearer picture of
where 25.1 stands in relation to its release requirements (presently means:
"no release-blocking bugs"), but we also could use community feedback on look
and feel, new defaults, etc., so a pre-test now would be timely.

Thank you.

I'd prefer to wait until changes mentioned in NEWS but not yet
reflected in the manuals are all processed.  IMO, it's not good to
release a pretest with incomplete documentation.

I hope to finish going through NEWS in a few days.

Ok, that's the threshold then, Nicolas. Once Eli gives us the all clear on the
documentation front, we'll cut a pre-release.

Er, pre-test. :)

Ok, I'll wait for this then.
