* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Basic Windows, Selecting Windows):
Clarify what selecting a window means for keyboard input, and that
input focus may need to be considered when selecting windows on
other frames. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-12/msg00372.html
for more details.
* doc/lispref/Makefile.in (srcs): Add the forgotten records.texi.
* doc/lispref/records.texi (Records): Recommend that record type
names use package-naming conventions.
* etc/NEWS: Add the naming convention recommendation for record
types.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Invisible Text): Document the return
value of 'invisible-p'.
* src/xdisp.c (Finvisible_p): Rename the argument POS. Doc fix.
(Bug#29721)
See https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2017-11/msg00649.html
for more details.
* lisp/files.el (dir-locals-file-2): Remove unused constant.
* lisp/files.el (dir-locals-file): Mention ".dir-locals-2.el" in
the doc string.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Directory Local Variables): Mention
".dir-locals-2.el".
* etc/NEWS: Replace `dir-locals-file-2' mention with
`dir-locals-file'.
* src/font.c (syms_of_font) <font-weight-table, font-slant-table>
<font-width-table>:
* src/data.c (syms_of_data) <most-positive-fixnum>
<most-negative-fixnum>:
* src/buffer.c (syms_of_buffer) <enable-multibyte-characters>:
Mention in the doc strings that these variables are read-only.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Creating Buffer-Local): Document
that making a constant variable buffer-local signals an error.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Constant Variables):
* doc/lispref/errors.texi (Standard Errors): More accurate and
up-to-date documentation of which symbols cannot be assigned
values.
* doc/lispref/compile.texi (Compiler Errors): Add index entries.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Defining Variables): Mention that
defvar with no value is used for suppressing compiler warnings.
(Bug#29400)
* lisp/simple.el (self-insert-uses-region-functions): Clarify the
doc string.
* lisp/delsel.el (delete-selection-uses-region-p): Mention
'self-insert-command' in the doc string. (Bug#29373)
* doc/lispref/text.texi (Commands for Insertion): Mention
'self-insert-uses-region-functions'.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Keymaps and Minor Modes): Add a
cross-reference to "Commands for Insertion".
* doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Instrumenting Macro Calls): Improve
discussion of when it might be necessary to find and evaluate macro
specifications before instrumenting.
(Specification List): Clarify what "defining form" means to Edebug
and when 'def-form' or 'def-body' should be used instead of 'form'
or 'body'.
* src/lisp.h (vectorlike_headed): Change from struct to union.
All uses changed. Since it has only one member, this does not
change semantics. This is designed to simplify future changes
needed to fix bugs like Bug#29040. All uses changed.
* doc/lispref/text.texi (Auto Filling): Add reference to Emacs
manual. Add description of 'comment-auto-fill-only-comments'.
* etc/NEWS: Mention new treatment of
'comment-auto-fill-only-comments'.
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Window Hooks): Fix the description of
window-configuration-change-hook. (Bug#29049)
<run-window-scroll-functions, run-window-configuration-change-hook>:
Document these functions.
* doc/lispref/frames.texi (Frame Parameters): Mention that
applications have to care about which parameters they want to
get saved and restored by the desktop library.
These fixes were suggested by Drew Adams.
* src/window.c (Fminibuffer_selected_window): Disambiguate
doc-string.
* doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Intro to Minibuffers)
(Minibuffer Windows, Recursive Mini, Minibuffer Misc): Avoid
the term "currently active minibuffer window". Disambiguate
documentation of `minibuffer-selected-window'.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Faces): Describe how the
faces of the "underlying" text affect overlay and display strings.
(Display Margins): Add a cross-reference to "Displaying Faces".
* src/fileio.c (Fset_default_file_modes): Doc fix. (Bug#28875)
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Changing Files): Clarify how the bits in
the argument of set-default-file-modes are used for setting file
permissions.
These changes also update the various bundled packages to use
new feature, and better support customizations of the line-number
face.
* src/xdisp.c (calc_pixel_width_or_height): Improve commentary.
Make :align-to count from the end of the line-number display when
the offset or the width form reference that of the text area.
(Bug#28855)
* src/indent.c (Fline_number_display_width): Implement support for
the PIXELWISE argument being 'columns'. Update the doc string.
(syms_of_indent): New symbol 'columns'.
* lisp/ruler-mode.el (ruler-mode-window-col, ruler-mode-ruler):
Call line-number-display-width with last argument 'columns'.
* lisp/proced.el (proced-header-line): Call
line-number-display-width with 2nd arg 'columns', which also fixes
a problem when display-line-numbers is nil.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/tabulated-list.el
(tabulated-list-line-number-width): Call line-number-display-width
with 2nd arg 'columns.
(tabulated-list-entry-lnum-width): Remove unneeded defvar.
(tabulated-list-print, tabulated-list-print-entry): No need to
account for the value of tabulated-list-entry-lnum-width.
(tabulated-list--current-lnum-width): New defvar.
(tabulated-list-watch-line-number-width): New function.
(tabulated-list-mode): Bind tabulated-list--current-lnum-width
locally, and set up tabulated-list-watch-line-number-width as
pre-redisplay-functions hook.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Size of Displayed Text): Document the
'columns' value of the PIXELWISE argument.
(Pixel Specification): Update and improve the documentation of the
supported forms.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Parsing): Fix some errors in the
documentation for format-time-string. Document ^, #, %s, and %z
with colons. Say that unrecognized sequences are output as-is.
* src/editfns.c (Fformat_time_string): %S can stand for 60.
Also mention unrecognized sequences.
Although the Lisp manual said that ‘format’ returns a
newly-allocated string, this was not true for a few cases like
(format "%s" ""), and fixing the documentation to allow reuse of
arguments lets us improve performance in common cases like
(format "foo") and (format "%s" "foo") (Bug#28625).
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
* etc/NEWS:
Say that the result of ‘format’ might not be newly allocated.
* src/callint.c (Fcall_interactively):
* src/dbusbind.c (XD_OBJECT_TO_STRING):
* src/editfns.c (Fmessage, Fmessage_box):
* src/xdisp.c (vadd_to_log, Ftrace_to_stderr):
Just use Fformat or Fformat_message, as that’s simpler and no
longer makes unnecessary copies.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Remove last argument, as it
is no longer needed: all callers now want it to behave as if it
were true. All remaining callers changed. Make this function
static again. Simplify the function now that we no longer
need to worry about whether the optimization is allowed.
This fixes some URLs I omitted from my previous pass,
notably those in lists.gnu.org. Although lists.gnu.org
does not yet support TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 is better than nothing.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-official-location):
* lisp/mail/emacsbug.el (report-emacs-bug):
Use https:, not http:.
* doc/elisp/syntax.texi (Position Parse): Note, twice, that syntax-ppss is
equivalent to parse-partial-sexp from the beginning of THE VISIBLE PART OF the
buffer. Final part of the fix for bug #22983.
