Yes, thanks, Martyn for analysing/progressing 451 and Vaughan 
too. I moved it to DEVEL-FIXED;  I think it needs to be released for 
wider testing. 

I have not done all the testing I would like yet on it, but I've 
commented on what I have done and the separate question of 
orphaning overlong blocks if encountered:
http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451#c51 . 


> Likewise for 137?

I suggest we should defer DEVEL-FIXING that until we can discuss
it after release of 1.3.14. DEVEL-FIX suggests fixes have been made 
which need testing, but I don't think they have (?) except insofar as 
we've fixed instances of 451 previously assumed to be 137.

I will do the Windows ANSI obviously. Can do Windows Unicode
if needed, but prefer not to.

Bill has kindly tested for 315 (P2, add version info to Log creates 
"Information" box on Mac that breaks launching with files): 
http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315

He finds we have the version string at the top of the log and no file 
launching problems so fine, but the previously fixed Mac bug 2 (Hang 
when scanning for VST effects on first-time install) has come back
again with similar symptoms:
http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2 . 

This time, Audacity appears partially responsive but actually crashes
when you try to Quit. This could be due to the move to wxMac 2.8.12, 
so I've asked Paul if he still has any recent 2.8.11 builds we can test
on.  Maybe we should check on Mac other than Bill's OSX 10.5.8 PPC 
by deleting ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ and launching
with VST's available. If confined to 10.5.8 PPC, I assume not a  
release blocker?  

 
> * no blocking issues around documentation or translation?

Translation - no. Can I accept translations up until just before freeze 
time? Do you (Vaughan) want to confirm the freeze and arrangements
to the -translation list?  

 
> * someone to do release notes?

I guess that sounds like me. Hopefully I can make enough time.

I don't think there have been any string changes since I posted that
audacity.pot.
