This affects the behaviour of flex completion when there is a default
completion and the user hasn't entered any input pattern to flex-match
against. It is most visible when icomplete-mode or fido-mode are
being used in conjunctio.
When using M-x man, for instance, the default completion is picked
from text around point. Say it is "emacs" (for Emacs's man page). It
will not match the intended completion, "emacs(1)", exactly. If the
user hasn't yet given any input to the completion prompt, that
completion should bubble to top so that
icomplete-force-complete-and-exit will select it, but it didn't.
This new approach uses 'string-prefix-p' instead of 'equal' to find
the default to bubble to the top. This strategy could eventually be
improved, most naturally by flex-matching the default string to all
the candidates and picking the highest scoring one.
Additionally, the new strategy only considers minibuffer-default if
there is no input in the minibuffer, which seems sensible and produces
a small but noticeable speedup.

(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.
* lisp/progmodes/python.el (python-shell-send-statement): New function.
(python-mode-map): Bind it to key "C-c C-e", and define a python-menu
item for it. (Bug#38426)
(universal-coding-system-argument): Adjust the code to the way
`universal-argument` works nowadays. Handle `prefix-arg` a bit more
like `command_loop` does.
* test/lisp/international/mule-tests.el
(mule-cmds--test-universal-coding-system-argument): New test.
* lisp/tab-bar.el (tab-bar--tabs-recent): New function with code
extracted from tab-bar--tab-index-recent.
(tab-bar-switch-to-tab): Use tab-bar--tabs-recent in interactive spec
to sort names of tabs by recency for default values of completing-read.
(tab-prefix-map): Bind RET to tab-bar-select-tab-by-name, and 'm' to tab-move.
* 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/progmodes/verilog-mode.el (verilog-compiler-directives): Support
indenting `uselib.
(verilog-read-decls): Fix AUTO* to ignore `protected regions.
(verilog-read-auto-template-middle): Fix AUTO_TEMPLATEs with multiple
module templates and at-REGEXPs, msg3183. Reported by Berk Akinci.
* lisp/mouse.el (mouse-drag-region-rectangle):
Move cursor to the correct column during auto-scrolling both when
crutches are used and not (bug#38641). Reported by Konrad Podczeck.
* lisp/vc/vc-git.el (vc-git-after-dir-status-stage):
Don't set `up-to-date' status if the previous stage (`diff-index')
has assigned some other status to the file (bug#38615).
Better handling of tabs scrolled to the left.
Don't scroll tabs that are already visible.
Remove setq of buffer-undo-list because undo is disabled
anyway in internal buffers with name " *temp*".
* 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.
* lisp/jsonrpc.el (initialize-instance jsonrpc-process-connection):
Use buffer-disable-undo in stdout and stderr buffers.
* lisp/jsonrpc.el (Version): Bump to 1.0.9
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.
* lisp/help.el (help-uni-confusables, help-uni-confusables-regexp):
Rename from uni-confusable and uni-confusables-regexp, respectively.
(help-uni-confusable-suggestions): Use ngettext. Use new variable
name.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el (lisp--match-confusable-symbol-character):
Use new variable name.
The strings contained in gpg keys can contain UTF-8 data, but can also
use percent-escapes to encode non-ASCII chars. When converting those
escapes, use 'raw-text' coding system rather than 'string-to-unibyte',
since the latter signals an error for non-ASCII characters.
* lisp/epg.el (epg--decode-percent-escape): Convert the passed
string to raw-text before treating percent escapes (Bug#38512).
Allow placing debug-on-entry on a function not-yet-defined, which
is convenient when the problem you're investigating happens while
the relevant files are loaded.
(message--old-style-completion-functions): New var.
(message-completion-function): Allow functions on
`message-completion-alist` to follow the capf protocol.
(message-completion-alist): Adjust docstring accordingly.
Simplify regexps and make them apply more liberally.
(message-expand-group): Use the capf protocol.
(completion-category-defaults): Use 'substring' completion style by
default for email addresses.
(message--bbdb-query-with-words, message--name-table): New functions.
(message-expand-name): Use them to obey `message-expand-name-standard-ui`.
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)

Add `union' and `intersection'.

(rx-intersection, rx-def-in-intersection): New tests.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs):
* etc/NEWS:
Document `union' and `intersection'.
* lisp/dabbrev.el (dabbrev--check-all-buffers): Add new variable.
(dabbrev-completion): Lexical scoping means we can't use let to
override global variables, so use setq.
(dabbrev--reset-global-variables): Reset new variable.
