Plan for P1/P2 clean-up

Permanent P1's

 * Perform a link check using Xenu or other software.


 * Check at Code Review 2.1.1 that there are no commits listed in "Not assessed" and that Status reads per the latest commit at https://github.com/audacity/audacity.


 * Check the FAQ! There are almost always things there too that need changing for the next release.
 * Change the version number on the front of the Manual from "Audacity 2.x.x-alpha Development Manual" to "Audacity 2.x.x Manual" (whatever the current release is).


 * Change the version number of the Manual at Unzipping the Manual in the "x"'s as below:
 * http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files/audacity/2.x.x/audacity-manual-2.x.x.zip/download


 * Until we have a separate subdomain for the released and alpha Manual, $wgSitename in LocalSettings.php is set to "Audacity Development Manual" to make clear what it is. However this means that for the few minutes while the Manual is dumped for release, Gale or Steve need to change $wgSitename to "Audacity Manual".

After release
#audacity x.x.x for Windows (EXE) where x.x.x is the release number. This scan result can then be found by users following the instructions on http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_about_audacity.html#spyware to locate Audacity scan results. 
 * Log in to https://www.virustotal.com/en/, upload the new Windows EXE file and scan it. On the results page, add a comment in the form


 * Change all version numbers on the front page of the Manual as in the "x" as below. Typically, this would increment just the third number by 1:
 * Audacity 2.x.x-alpha Development Manual.
 * This online Manual is only for the latest 2.x.x-alpha development code. The online Manual for the current 2.x.x release is here. Click here for legacy 1.2 documentation.
 * Use Help > Manual (in browser) in the current 2.x.x release to access an installed copy of the Manual.
 * You can download and install the 2.x.x Manual if the Manual is not installed.

P2s that may block a release

 * Mixing Audio Tracks: There is no mention here or in Tracks Menu of how render handles white space before the audio begins or audio before zero. Should there be? Current behavior following r11248 is to preserve the clip length by no longer rendering white space between time zero and first audio as silence, and to preserve audio before time zero instead of discarding it. So people who want to export tracks with silent lead-ins preserved now have to generate silence after rendering. I think that tip at least should be in this page.
 * Peter 04Feb14: we have carried this issue through several releases, since December 2011. It has never been a blocker previously.
 * Spectral Selection: details that need sorting

P2 proofread/review needed
See Pages that link to "ToDo-2R"
 * Languages: Audacity language can now be chosen in the Windows installer
 * Edit Chains: documentation for the new button.
 * Modules Preferences: the page is now accurate (afaict) but it only documents default behavior i.e. no shipped modules. Gale thinks we need a non-default Prefs image showing mod-nyq-bench enabled
 * Effect Menu - Audio Unit Export and Import: Bill 25Jun2015: documentation of audio unit export/import is now accurate (afaict). I've not yet had confirmation from other Mac users.
 * Index of Effects, Generators and Analyzers: new entries added to the table need hover-texts adding
 * Tutorial - Vocal Removal and Isolation: Tutorial updated for the new Vocal Reduction and Isolation effect.
 * Help Menu: Generate Support Data... implemented Gale's suggested additional text
 * Index of Effects, Generators and Analyzers Table updated to add back in the legacy Vocal Remover

General Placeholders
See Pages that link to "ToDo-2P"

P1 placeholders in Wiki for pages for update after 2.1.1 is released
The following pages will need updating after 2.1.1 is released for the new Manage Effects/Generators/Analyzers method of installing plug-ins.
 * Nyquist Plug-ins
 * Vocal Removal Plug-ins
 * Vamp Plug-ins
 * Audio Units
 * Ladspa Plug-ins
 * VST Plug-ins

Placeholder for WDM-KS
WDM-KS is definitely turned off for 2.1.0

 * Glossary
 * Device Toolbar
 * Devices Preferences
 * Tutorial - Selecting Your Recording Device
 * Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows

Wiki P2s re WDM-KS
These above three P2s in the Wiki - all relate to WDM-KS
 * Windows Vista OS
 * MultichannelRecording
 * Windows 7 OS

P2 placeholders for VST presets Mac bug

 * In Effect Menu - for removal of Mac-only advice if file extension bug is fixed

P2 placeholders for bug 825

 * Sync-Locked Track Groups The "Editing a clip can move other clips" option in Tracks Preferences seems to override Sync-Locked Track Groups except where bugs cause other behavior. Probably the behavior is too buggy and confusing to be documented now, so this is a placeholder for when the behavior is bug fixed and better signposted.
 * Peter 29Jan15: Logged as P3 on Bugzilla #825
 * Tracks Preferences: The "Editing a clip can move other clips" option in Tracks Preferences seems to override Sync-Locked Track Groups except where bugs cause other behavior. Probably the behavior is too buggy and confusing to be documented now, so this is a placeholder for when the behavior is bug fixed and better signposted.
 * Peter 29Jan15: Logged as P3 on Bugzilla #825

P2 placeholder for Audacity compilation on Linux against FFmpeg

 * Gale 10Sep14: FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins - Placeholder P2 to change the text about dynamic loading if bug 540 is fixed and to monitor compiling status on different distros.
