From b875edb6bda16cb63b3699f6644e3f1bab03e2a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2023 13:46:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] CHECKLST.txt: suggest writing Windows Store blurb ahead of time. That's two releases running I've got most of the way through the mechanical upload processes and suddenly realised I still have a piece of creative writing to do. A small one, but even so, there's no reason it couldn't have been prepared a week in advance like the rest of the announcements and changelogs. The only reason I didn't is that the checklist didn't remind me to. Now it does.
