set-message-function and clear-message-function.
* lisp/minibuffer.el (minibuffer-message-clear-timeout): New defcustom.
(minibuffer-message-timer, minibuffer-message-overlay): New variables.
(set-minibuffer-message, clear-minibuffer-message): New functions.
(set-message-function, clear-message-function): Set variables to
set-minibuffer-message and clear-minibuffer-message respectively.
* src/keyboard.c (read_char): Call clear_message when
Vclear_message_function is a function.
* src/xdisp.c (set_message): Call Vset_message_function when it's a function.
(clear_message): Call Vclear_message_function when it's a function.
(syms_of_xdisp): New variables set-message-function and clear-message-function
(bug#38457).
* lisp/files.el (backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch): In addition
to checking the file uid, a second test is added: if the file gid is not
greater than backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch,
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch will also be forced on.
* doc/emacs/files.texi, doc/lispref/backups.texi: Updated documentation.
Also fixed a typo in the Emacs reference manual, changing "higher" to
"no greater" so that the limit is no longer documented reversed.
* doc/lispref/syntax.texi (Parser State): mention parse-partial-sexp as a
function returning a parser state, and the function to which one supplies a
parser state as an argument for continued parsing.
Refine the documentation of syntax-ppss-context, and correct the text
introducing it and another function.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.el (regexp-opt):
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regexp Functions):
Be more specific about how the KEEP-ORDER argument actually works.
If nil, the regexp guarantees a longest match; this is the behaviour
that many callers implicitly rely on.
* lisp/vc/diff.el (diff-buffers): New command.
(diff, diff-no-select, diff-file-local-copy): Improve docstrings.
* doc/emacs/files.texi:
* etc/NEWS: Document new command, and the previously-undocumented
ability for 'diff' to compare buffers.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Garbage Collection)
(Pure Storage):
* src/alloc.c (Fgarbage_collect): Update the documentation of
pure-space overflow for when pdumper is used. (Bug#38492)
The `not' and `intersection' forms, and `or' inside these forms,
now accept characters and single-character strings as arguments.
Previously, they had to be wrapped in `any' forms.
This does not add expressive power but is a convenience and is easily
understood.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs): Amend the documentation.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--charset-p, rx--translate-not)
(rx--charset-intervals, rx): Accept characters and 1-char strings in
more places.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-not, rx-charset-or)
(rx-def-in-charset-or, rx-intersection): Test the change.
These character set operations, together with `not' for set
complement, improve the compositionality of rx, and reduce duplication
in complicated cases. Named character classes are not permitted in
set operations.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--translate-any): Split into multiple
functions.
(rx--foldl, rx--parse-any, rx--generate-alt, rx--intervals-to-alt)

(rx-intersection, rx-def-in-intersection): New tests.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs):
* etc/NEWS:
Document `union' and `intersection'.
* lisp/faces.el (face-spec-recalc): Handle the :extend attribute
specially and always inherit it from the default spec unless
overwritten in a theme (bug#37774).
* test/lisp/faces-tests.el (faces--test-data-dir): New variable.
(faces--test-extend-with-themes): Use test themes instead of ones
from etc/themes. Update expected values.

* etc/themes/tsdh-light-theme.el:
* etc/themes/wheatgrass-theme.el:
* etc/themes/wombat-theme.el: Remove the now-redundant ':extend'
attribute in all the themes.
* doc/misc/semantic.texi (Parser code, Tag handling)
(Semanticdb Internals, Analyzer Internals, Tools): Fix file
names according to what was actually imported from the
original CEDET. (Bug#38451)
* lisp/simple.el (default-font-height, default-font-width)
(default-line-height): Say in the doc strings that the default
face these functions use is for the currently selected frame.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Attribute Functions)
(Low-Level Font): Document more clearly the dependence of the
results of 'face-font', 'default-font-width', and
'default-font-height' on the frame's definition of the default
face.
* lisp/simple.el (minibuffer-history-values): New function, should be
used to access the minibuffer input history variable when the
minibuffer might be active. If the variable is buffer-local, the
previous buffer's value will be used.
(goto-history-element): Use the new function to access the minibuffer
history.
(minibuffer-history-isearch-wrap): Use the new function to access the
minibuffer history.
* src/minibuf.c (read_minibuf): Switch to previous buffer temporarily
before updating history list (Bug#38317).
(read-from-minibuffer): Extend documentation to mention that the
result of using the command will be added to the history list by
default.
* doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Minibuffer History): Mention the
possibility of using a buffer-local variable as history.
* etc/NEWS: Announce changes.
(tab-bar--tab): Use float-time instead of integer.
This improves correct detection of recent tabs switched within 1 sec.
(tab-bar--current-tab, tab-bar--current-tab-index)
(tab-bar--tab-index, tab-bar--tab-index-by-name)
(tab-bar--tab-index-recent): Add optional arg FRAME.

(tab-bar--reusable-frames): New function.
(tab-bar-get-buffer-tab): Add index to the found tab.
(display-buffer-in-tab): Use `tab-name' entry instead of `name'.
Add `reusable-frames' entry. (bug#38354)
As described in the new comment added to emacs-module.c, using GMP
directly in the module interface has significant downsides: it couples
the module interface directly to the implementation and requires
module authors to link their module against the same GMP library as
Emacs itself, which is often difficult and an unnecessary burden. By
picking a representation for the magnitude that often matches the one
used by GMP, we can avoid overhead when converting from and to GMP in
most cases.
Loading the test module in test/data/emacs-module and evaluating
(dotimes (_ 10000)
(mod-test-double (* 2 most-negative-fixnum)))
under Callgrind shows that on my (GNU/Linux) machine Emacs only spends
10% of the CPU time of mod-test-double in mpz_import and mpz_export
combined, even though that function does little else. (By contrast,
30% is spent in allocate_pseudovector.)
* src/emacs-module.h.in: Don't check EMACS_MODULE_GMP. Don't include
gmp.h. Remove emacs_mpz structure. Instead, define type alias
emacs_limb_t and macro EMACS_LIMB_MAX.
* src/module-env-27.h: Change interface of extract_big_integer and
make_big_integer to take a sign-magnitude representation instead of
mpz_t.

the doc string and of the prompt for the root directory.
* etc/NEWS: Improve and expand the wording of the changes in
'C-x v L'.
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (VC Change Log): Improve and
clarify wording of the 'C-x v L' description.

constants.
(help-command-error-confusable-suggestions): New function, added to

when vc-log-view-type is 'with-diff'.
(vc-git-log-view-mode): Use long style when vc-log-view-type is 'with-diff'.
* lisp/vc/vc.el (vc-print-log-internal): Add optional arg 'type'.
(vc-log-internal-common): Use 'region-history-mode' when type is
'with-diff' and backend supports 'region-history-mode'.
(vc-print-root-log): Add optional arg 'revision'. In interactive spec
read a revision when current-prefix-arg is 1. Use current-prefix-arg
"as is" when it is a number. Show revision in long style with diff
when limit is 1 and revision is non-nil.
Make it possible to select a rectangular region using the mouse.
The standard binding is C-M-mouse-1.

* etc/NEWS: Document rectangular selection with the mouse.
For the ns-KEY-modifier and ns-right-KEY-modifier variables, KEY
being 'control', 'command', 'alternate' and 'function', allow
values on the form (:ordinary SYMBOL :function :SYMBOL :mouse SYMBOL),
so that the key can be used for different modifiers (or none) in
different contexts. This is particularly useful for using the macOS
Option key for extended character entry while still using it as an
Emacs modifier for function keys and mouse clicks.
* src/nsterm.m (mod_of_kind, right_mod, nil_or_none): Helper functions.
(EV_MODIFIERS2): Add KIND argument.
(EV_MODIFIERS): Adapt call to EV_MODIFIERS2.
(ns_get_shifted_character): Use correct event kind for modifiers.

* lisp/man.el (Man-bgproc-sentinel):
* lisp/subr.el (do-after-load-evaluation):
Revert recent changes that replaced 'message' with 'minibuffer-message'.
This is not needed anymore since 'message' uses 'minibuffer-message'
in the active minibuffer.
