Above updates applied, except in cases where optional alternatives (e.g. "BYE or bye") are simply excessive and make the instructions harder to understand. |

a2d/RELEASE-NOTES.md release notes, located at https://github.com/a2stuff/a2d/blob/main/RELEASE-NOTES.md, string changes: Under "General Enhancements": "* Mouse Keys mode simplified: (#185)
"* Mouse Keys mode simplified: (#185)
Under "DeskTop Enhancements": Please reduce the amount of empty space between the different entries under "DeskTop Enhancements" in order to match the amount of empty space between the different entries throughout the rest of the release notes. "* New file type icons: graphics, IIgs-specific, AppleWorks, relocatable, command, fonts, music, and DAs. (#105, #116)" should instead be "* Icons for volumes positioned more predictably and sensibly. (#94, #375, #540)" should instead be "* Show appropriate error when copying a file onto itself. (#630)
"* Show appropriate error when trying to replace an item with itself or an item it contains. (#630, #634, #635, #636)" to consolidate these entries because issue #630 is very closely related to issue #634, issue #635 and issue #636. Please add an entry to the "DeskTop Enhancements" section stating that desk accessories, directories and previewable files can now be launched from the Shortcuts menu and from the Shortcuts > Run a Shortcut... dialog box. Under "DeskTop Enhancements", under "Keyboard-related changes:": "* Shift key works as modifier to extend selection, on IIgs and systems with shift key mod. (#340)" should instead be "* Apple+` or Apple+Tab cycles through open windows; Shift+Apple+` (and Shift+Apple+Tab, when detectable) cycles in reverse. (#143, #230)" should instead be "* Tab/Shift+Tab (or `/Shift+`) change selected icon in alphabetical order.

Under "Desk Accessory Enhancements": The "Desk Accessory Enhancements" section should be renamed "Desk Accessory and Apple Menu Enhancements" because this section also includes Apple menu enhancements that do not just relate to desk accessories and Apple menu enhancements that do not relate to desk accessories at all. "* Show Text File DA: Keyboard support. Esc quits, arrows scroll, Space toggles modes. (#4, #403)" should instead be Under "Additional Desk Accessories", under "Control Panels": "* Control Panels

I think I captured most of the above, except for adding additional issue numbers to lists. In most cases, the issue numbers omitted are intentional, because they describe issues not present in 1.1. For example, if a change was made from 1.1 to 1.2 that resulted in a new bug in 1.2, the new bug should not be listed in the release notes. Also, completeness is not necessary; the full history of the issue tracker is available for anyone that is truly interested. |
