(Bug#64165)
* doc/lispref/parsing.texi (Pattern Matching, Multiple Languages):
Writing tree-sitter queries as Emacs s-expressions is much more

so it makes sense to base the documentation on the former dialect
(bug#64017).

* lisp/emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (define-globalized-minor-mode):

under which a dialog box will be used.

Fix the description of conditions under which a dialog box will be
used.

Mail". (Bug#63497)

Update the reference.
* lisp/progmodes/eglot.el (eglot-upgrade): Rename from
'eglot-update', as discussed on emacs-devel, in line with
'package-upgrade'.
Noting this behavior and variable here makes it easier to
understand the behavior of Emacs when a sentinel has an error.
* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Filter Functions): Note that Emacs
pauses when handling sentinel errors.
(Sentinels): Note that Emacs pauses when handling sentinel errors.

it (bug#62151).

updating the `customize-package-emacs-version-alist' entry

(erc-reconnect-display, erc-query-on-unjoined-chan-privmsg): Add
