2.0.6 To Do

=Things we have put off until 2.0.6= This is a list of things that we have put off during the 2.0.5 release, and we have said we will look at for the 2.0.6 release. The author is biassed by what he has seen in his inbox.
 * EXPERIMENTAL_KEY_VIEW
 * Un-EXPERIMENTAL for further testing
 * Review comments already received and fix
 * Document the new interface in the manual. The strawman page developed during 2.0.5 is now published. Need to continue monitoring for any UI changes arising from any fixes deriviving from comment feedback.
 * EXPERIMENTAL_SCIENCE_FILTERS
 * Review 'Scientific Filters' ScienFilter.cpp/.h
 * Layout of control uses spaces and needs review / fixing
 * Technical testing needs doing by at least one person familiar with these filters
 * Review internationalisation hints, if required
 * User-facing documentation (Bill's attempt is already up at Scientific Filter).
 * Accessibility (see Bug 659 note that the attached patch also fixes "layout of controls uses spaces" mentioned above.)
 * Revisit http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/detail?r=12591 which was reverted prior to 2.0.5 release because it caused clicks on block boundaries when recording on Peter's machines.
 * String consistencies
 * Plugin -> Plug-in (instance in "Install VST Effects" has been committed, but we need to search for other instances)
 * Cutoff -> Cut-off (See bug 667)
 * Gale 26Mar14: Consistency changed to "Cutoff" after research suggested unhyphenated version "may" be more common in US audio usage.
 * Others? Review?
 * WDM-KS
 * Try and find a solution to BSoD problem before re-enabling
 * Do we have repeatable test cases?
 * Turn on WDM-KS after tagging 2.0.5. Done. This may get us some more BSoD cases to analyse and it lets any users "dis-satisfied" by its removal still use it.
 * MSVC Redistributables
 * Review what the problems are
 * Review proposed solutions
 * Do we have repeatable test cases?
 * make feedback@ less prominent again on front page. Done. Users will have to find feedback@ from the NIghtly Builds page.

 * Decide how mark one patch 'ready' and another 'not' on the same bug on Bugzilla.
 * Release Process Agenda
 * Discuss formatting, step-numbering, and aesthetics.
 * Whether Code and Manual freeze should be at the same time.
 * Whether http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Process/Mac needs changing so that we always use the Nightly Builds.
 * Whether we still need the \scripts\mac_release_build script . Leland says we no longer need it because it's already build into \mac\Audacity.xcodeproj\project.pbxproj.
 * Mac/compile.txt needs updating Done, and will be done in future after announcement of string/GUI freeze
 * Rename qa/README in the sources to "README.txt" and commit so that file history is preserved. This fails with an error at the moment if committing in TortoiseSVN from the "qa" folder. Worked for Gale for some reason in TortoiseSVN 1.6.16, with file history preserved OK
 * Overhaul the current Release Notes system (Gale)
