If no serious problems are found with the > 23.3.90 pretest, the 23.4 release will probably follow right after. The latest Emacs 23 Mac port contains some backported patches for redisplay bugs that was found in the trunk (revno 106534, 106517(Bug#10119), 106357, 106345(Bug#9496), 106279(Bug#9947), 106223, and 106220). They can be used as candidates. Among them, I think at least revno 106534 and 106357 should be backported to the emacs-23 branch because otherwise users may occasionally see very strange results: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-11/msg00278.html This strange display could not be observed with Emacs 23.3 so easily except the very rare cases, because this bug has emerged by a fix for another bug: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-11/msg00308.html YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp
