Revision: [e-mail]--gnu-2004/emacs--cvs-trunk--0--patch-628 Merge from gnus--rel--5.10 Patches applied: * [e-mail]--gnu-2004/gnus--rel--5.10--patch-55 Update from CVS 2004-10-19 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-update-summary-mark-positions): Search for dummy marks in the right way. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/nnagent.el (nnagent-request-type): Bind gnus-agent to nil to avoid infinite recursion via gnus-get-function. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags): When necessary, pass full group name to gnus-request-set-marks. (gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags): Added support for sync'ing tick marks. (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags-server): Be silent when writing file. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags): Replaced gnus-request-update-info with explicit code to sync the in-memory info read flags with the marks being sync'd to the backend. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-possibly-synchronize-flags): Ignore servers that are offline. Avoids having gnus-agent-toggle-plugged first ask if you want to open a server and then, even when you responded with no, asking if you want to synchronize the server's flags. (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags-server): Rewrote read loop to handle multi-line expressions. (gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags): New internal function. Updates marks in memory (in the info structure) AND in the backend. (gnus-agent-check-overview-buffer): Fixed range of deletion to remove entire duplicate line. Fixes merged article number bug. * lisp/gnus/gnus-util.el (gnus-remassoc): Fixed typo in documentation. * lisp/gnus/nnagent.el (nnagent-request-set-mark): Use gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags, not backend's request-set-mark method, to ensure that synchronization updates marks in the backend and in the info (in memory) structure. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags-server): Do nothing unless plugged. Disable the agent so that an open failure causes an error. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Reiner Steib <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-fetched-hook): Add :version. (gnus-agent-go-online): Change :version. (gnus-agent-expire-unagentized-dirs) (gnus-agent-auto-agentize-methods): Add :version. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/legacy-gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-convert-to-compressed-agentview-prompt): New function. Used internally to only display 'gnus converting files' message when actually necessary. * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (): Removed (require 'gnus-agent) as required methods now autoloaded. * lisp/gnus/gnus-int.el (gnus-request-move-article): Use gnus-agent-unfetch-articles in place of gnus-agent-expire to improve performance. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-cat-groups): rewrote avoiding defsetf to avoid run-time CL dependencies. (gnus-agent-unfetch-articles): New function. (gnus-agent-fetch-headers): Use gnus-agent-braid-nov to validate article numbers even when local .overview file is missing. (gnus-agent-read-article-number): New function. Only accepts 27-bit article numbers. (gnus-agent-copy-nov-line, gnus-agent-uncached-articles): Use gnus-agent-read-article-number. (gnus-agent-braid-nov): Rewrote to validate article numbers coming from backend while recognizing that article numbers in .overview must be valid. * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-convert-old-newsrc): Changed message text as some users confused by references to .newsrc when they only have a .newsrc.eld file. (gnus-convert-mark-converter-prompt, gnus-convert-converter-needs-prompt): Fixed use of property list. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-restore-gcc): Use ^ and regexp-quote. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles-in-group): Don't do stuff for non-living groups. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags): Default to nil. (gnus-agent-regenerate-group): Using nil messages aren't valid. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-read-agentview): Inline gnus-uncompress-range. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/legacy-gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-convert-to-compressed-agentview): Fixed typos with help from Florian Weimer <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agentize): gnus-agent-send-mail-real-function no longer set to current value of message-send-mail-function but rather a lambda that calls message-send-mail-function. The change makes the agent real-time responsive to user changes to message-send-mail-function. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Reiner Steib <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Fix last commit. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-cache.el (gnus-cache-rename-group): New function. (gnus-cache-delete-group): New function. * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-rename-group): New function. (gnus-agent-delete-group): New function. (gnus-agent-save-group-info): Use gnus-command-method when `method' parameter is nil. Don't write nil entries into the active file. (gnus-agent-get-group-info): New function. (gnus-agent-get-local): Added optional parameters to avoid calling gnus-group-real-name and gnus-find-method-for-group. (gnus-agent-set-local): Delete stored entry if either min, or max, are nil. (gnus-agent-fetch-session): Reworded error/quit messages. On quit, use gnus-agent-regenerate-group to record existance of any articles fetched to disk before the quit occurred. * lisp/gnus/gnus-int.el (gnus-request-delete-group): Use gnus-cache-delete-group and gnus-agent-delete-group to keep the local disk in sync with the server. (gnus-request-rename-group): Use gnus-cache-rename-group and gnus-agent-rename-group to keep the local disk in sync with the server. * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Cosmetic simplification to logic. * lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (): (gnus-group-delete-group): No longer update gnus-cache-active-altered as gnus-request-delete-group now keeps the cache in sync. (gnus-group-list-active): Let the agent store a server's active list if currently plugged. * lisp/gnus/gnus-util.el (gnus-rename-file): New function. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-regenerate-group): Activate the group when the group's active is not available. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> for Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-read-agentview): Add a missing arg to error. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-convert-old-newsrc): Only write the conversion message to newsrc-dribble when an actual conversion is performed. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-read-local): Bind nnheader-file-coding-system to gnus-agent-file-coding-system to avoid the implicit assumption that they will always be equal. (gnus-agent-save-local): Bind buffer-file-coding-system, not coding-system-for-write, as the with-temp-file macro first prints to a buffer then saves the buffer. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/legacy-gnus-agent.el (): New. Provides converters that are only loaded when gnus-convert-old-newsrc needs to call them. * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-read-agentview): Removed support for old file versions. (gnus-group-prepare-hook): Removed function that converted list form of gnus-agent-expire-days to group properties. * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-convert-old-newsrc): Registered new converters to handle old agent file formats. Added logic for a "backup before upgrading warning". (gnus-convert-mark-converter-prompt): Developers can mark functions as needing (default), or not needing, gnus-convert-old-newsrc's "backup before upgrading warning". (gnus-convert-converter-needs-prompt): Tests whether the user should be protected from potentially irreversable changes by the function. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-int.el (gnus-request-accept-article): Inform the agent that articles are being added to a group. (gnus-request-replace-article): Inform the agent that articles need to be uncached as the cached contents are no longer valid. * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-file-header-cache): Removed. (gnus-agent-possibly-alter-active): Avoid null in numeric comparison. (gnus-agent-set-local): Refuse to save null in local object table. (gnus-agent-regenerate-group): The REREAD parameter can now be a list of articles that will be marked as unread. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-range.el (gnus-sorted-range-intersection): Now accepts single-interval range of the form (min . max). Previously the range had to look like ((min . max)). Likewise, return (min . max) rather than ((min . max)). (gnus-range-map): Use gnus-range-normalize to accept single-interval range. * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-highlight-line): Articles stored in the cache, but not the agent, now appear with their usual face. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-adjust-marks): Now correctly handles a list of marks consisting of a single range {for example, (3 . 5)} rather than a list of a single range { ((3 . 5)) }. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-adjust-marks): Avoid splicing null INTO the uncompressed list. 2004-10-18 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-draft.el (gnus-group-send-queue): Pass the group name "nndraft:queue" along to gnus-draft-send. Use gnus-agent-prompt-send-queue. (gnus-draft-send): Rebind gnus-agent-queue-mail to nil when group is "nndraft:queue". Suggested by Gaute Strokkenes <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-catchup): Use new gnus-sequence-of-unread-articles, not gnus-list-of-unread-articles, to avoid exhausting memory with huge numbers of articles. Use gnus-range-map to avoid having to uncompress the unread list. (gnus-group-archive-directory, gnus-group-recent-archive-directory): Fixed invalid ange-ftp reference. * lisp/gnus/gnus-range.el (gnus-range-map): Iterate over list or sequence. (gnus-sorted-range-intersection): Intersection of two ranges without requiring that they first be uncompressed. * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-activate-group): Unless blocked by the caller, possibly expand the active range to include both cached and agentized articles. (gnus-convert-old-newsrc): Rewrote in anticipation of having multiple version-dependent converters. (gnus-groups-to-gnus-format): Replaced gnus-agent-save-groups with gnus-agent-save-active. (gnus-save-newsrc-file): Save dirty agent range limits. * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-select-newgroup): Replaced inline code with gnus-agent-possibly-alter-active. (gnus-adjust-marked-articles): Faster handling of simple lists 2004-10-18 David Edmondson <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/mm-view.el (mm-w3m-cid-retrieve-1): Don't use recursive call excessively.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
