Latest bunch of doc changes

[David Kastrup]

Hi folks,

I am not particularly happy about my repeated procrastination, but at
least I combed through the relevant documentation changes and pushed a
bunch of them to the translation branch.  If anybody wants to have a go
at them before 2.18.2 will get released, holler and I'll see whether
I can delay Phil's rolling a release for a day or so.  Without notice,
he tends to start the process typically some time on Sunday.

Sorry for this last-minute notice that really should not have been
necessary if I had my act together properly.

Just to let you know: input/regression/repeat-volta-segno.ly has a
version statement of 2.18.0 which chokes 'make doc'. Either temporarily
downgrade it or upgrade file 'VERSION'.

It's probably a nuisance if you cannot compile translations, so I'll
upgrade VERSION.  It will cause merge conflicts into master, but I have
several of those already anyway.

so the next stable will be 2.18.2? 2.18.1 has been skipped?

Yes and no.  Just when it had started building I figured out that I had
cherry-picked unintended commits from the development branch in my rush
to get 2.18.1 out that weekend, and then Keith figured out that they
constituted an actually pretty solid regression, nothing one could
release in a stable branch.  Phil did not want to interrupt the
build/upload since he did not know what this might result in.  So we
decided not to announce it and to not link to it.

Well yes, that's the story.

All of the usual suspects for timely translations...

Thanks for making the best of my bad pitches!

I think I'm done but please include the "Oops-fix xref" commit as
well. Now running make doc which I think previously failed only for
the bad xref.

The news-front file is in sync with our version of the file in
translation branch, which is old. I could compare manually with the
version in master.

Well, I've seen that the amount of work was impressive.  Looks like
Italian and Spanish compile fine (I merged them to staging as well as
stable/2.18, and they tested well in staging).

I think having the French translation in 2.18.2 as well would be a good
idea.  Any idea about it so that Phil can plan on when to roll 2.18.2?
If it does not fit otherwise, we might stave the release off for a week.

Thanks

Sorry to be in a rush (some unexpected visitors…)
I just pushed on Translation and hope to see the results in Phil's
rolling phase.

Merged to both staging and stable/2.18 and started patchy-staging.  If it
completes successfully (takes probably 1h20 or so for me), that's a good
indication for the stuff on stable working out as well.

Thanks!

The merge to staging has tested out fine.  So stable/2.18 should likely
work.  It's probably still a good idea to do one test&doc run.
