Here's my own checklist:

1.  better configure test for regex problems on BSDi
2.  way to override "no server" problem
3.  handle noindex_start & noindex_end as string lists in HTML parser
4.  a "match all documents" mechanism in htsearch
5.  a way of specifying relative date ranges in htsearch
6.  release notes
7.  merge maindocs updates into htdoc and vice versa

I was going to tackle 5 today or maybe tomorrow.  I'll see if I can come
up with something for 3 after that.  I'd really appreciate it if you did
1, 4, 6 & 7.  I'm not sure about 2, as there isn't an easy fix to make it
work well, so the best that could be done quickly may be just an attribute
to make it revert to the pre-3.1.5 behaviour.

Some of the testing that's needed most is trying out the last few attributes
I've added, as all I've done so far is make sure the code compiles and runs
with my current set of attributes on my site.  So, I haven't really tested
description_meta_tag_names and translate_latin1 at all, nor the new code
for use_doc_date.

I was also hoping to hear back from Alexander Lebedev about completing the
audit of questionable 3-letter word expansions in english.0 (from L to Z).
