Not up to me, but showing the diff (it is not huge) would help to answer that. Technically speaking, no; ref: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-05/msg00309.html but if the changes are simple, probably yes. (But again, not up to me.) > Are we still targeting a winter release? Ha. There is no "target" AFAIK. (Some people expressed a desire for more frequent releases, and I think the phrase "every 6 months" was mentioned. The 24.4 feature freeze began 7 months ago... There's no visible progress with any of the outstanding important bugs, and no-one doing any serious documentation improvements. Bug reports show that many people are using trunk rather than emacs-24. So in summary I don't know when the release will be. I hope it is a bit sooner than winter.)
