Is that correct?
And putting out a new prerelease to be sure that those are ok, and waiting for the translators to catch up with cherry-picked patches containing stuff to be translated. But the current roadblock is David K. cherry-picking some patches. Here is a remaining list (not completely up to date with current master, though not missing much) to check for possible inclusion (assuming I have not overlooked something important pickable in the sequence before). If you see something important here (or something not in current master), put in a word for it. ef2cc5e684 Issue 5471/1: relocate.cc: Add `indent' parameter to `sane_putenv' d6428b77b6 Issue 5471/2: main.cc, relocate.cc: Improve relocation debug messages 19da23977f Issue 5471/3: relocate.cc: Don't use double forward slashes in file names 88980c4f92 Fix #5474: progerror when creating an undefined grob 0f5c046811 Functions to invert chords or drop/rise chord notes 6f1cf6c2b5 Add regtest for chord inversions and voicings ddef2aa7b6 Issue 5472/1: yaffut.hh: Fix compilation warning e37310a8e9 Issue 5472/2: flower/file-name.cc: Fix canonical file name representation 3bd7050543 Issue 5468: yyout2grammar.py: Various fixes 0deb785f64 Update texinfo.tex from Texinfo git master branch cb1963c46a Web: update online editors section. 965a607096 Fix #1367: NoteNames context in any language ed86e71eb0 Use "simple strings" rather than #"hash-prefixed Scheme strings" 3aeb41c27f Command line help: -o option takes either FILE or FOLDER as arg. e94db23e6c C++ cleanup : get rid of some compilation warnings 804faebc79 Issue 5481/1: main.cc, relocate.cc: Minor code clean-up 7200d7365b Issue 5481/2: running.itely: Document relocation e9c082d4d4 Issue 5481/3: flower/file-name.cc: Better handling of `.' and `..' f0c3e7461e Issue 5481/4: relocate.cc: Rewrite relocation algorithm 5eb848b59b Issue 5484: set doubleRepeatType fallback to default b05de1da2a pitches.itely: Fix typos and improve look of accidental name tables. dceebb052f Website: use VERSION_DEVEL rather than MAJOR.MINOR 5eb392ddd5 Issue 5485: avoid -Wsequence-point warning cdfb8f3fd3 Do not build PDFs from the website Texinfo sources -
