Emacs 23.0.96 pretest

Emacs 23.0.96 pretest

[Chong Yidong]

Emacs pretest 23.0.96 is now available.  You can download it via FTP, at

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.0.96.tar.gz

The xdelta against the previous pretest, 23.0.95, is here:

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.0.95-23.0.96.xdelta

Barring the emergence of a show-stopping bug, this is planned to be the
final pretest before the Emacs 23.1 release---tentatively scheduled for
July 22, two weeks from today.  If you've been tracking the CVS trunk,
please make an effort to run either this pretest or the EMACS_23_1_RC
branch instead, so that we can get as much testing as possible.

Pretesters: please send an email to me reporting success or failure on
your build platform.  Please report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or
send an email to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.  For other questions, please
email emacs-devel@gnu.org.

Developers: please be extremely careful making checkins to the branch
from this point on.  If you have any doubt about a checkin, or concerns
about any bug that may impact the release, please email emacs-devel.

Thank you.

FYI. For me building of emacs 23.0.96 on the following platforms went
fine:

  - Solaris 9
  - AIX 5.3
  - OS X 10.5.7 (--with-ns)

I feel bad for mentioning this to you, since you've done the vast
majority of this work, but no-one has checked lispref/processes.texi
yet. I don't think I have time right now.


I cannot regenerate these refcards due to lack of the correct tools:

cs-dired-ref, cs-refcard.pdf, pl-refcard.pdf, sk-dired-ref.pdf, sk-refcard.pdf

BTW, all the existing ones seem to be on the wrong papersize. They are
on letter, but look like they were designed for A4.


Regnerating gnus-refcard.pdf gives me layout problems:

The "output articles" title appears at the end of a column on p3
there is an empty column on p4


Regenerating gnus-booklet.pdf gives me layout problems:

The "Unsubscribe, kill and yank" title is on its own at the end of a page
The "Threading" title is followed by blank page

Think I sorted out the refcards now (I know everyone was worried...).

Thank you very much.

Indeed, I couldn't swallow my breakfast.

I've just done that now.  There weren't many changes w.r.t. Emacs 22,
and those were already documented.
