(put_line): Explicitly ignore fwrite return value, for benefit of
recent glibc + gcc.
(close_the_streams): Diagnose output errors instead of merely
exiting with nonzero status.
(my_fclose, main): Diagnose input errors, and exit with nonzero status.
Formerly, input errors were silently ignored.

All callers changed.  This is cleaner, and avoids GCC warnings about
passing NULL to fputs.

(set_local_socket, main): Use it to suppress warnings with
GCC -Wuninitialized.

(get_current_dir_name, w32_getenv, get_server_config, find_tty):
(set_local_socket, main):
Use const char *, not char *, for pointers that are not assigned
through.

(message, socket_status, start_daemon_and_retry_set_socket):
Rename locals.
(main): Move decl of "i".

This avoids an unused-macro warning with some GCC settings.

more accurate and to avoid a GCC -Wuninitialized diagnostic.

to avoid a GCC "assignment discards qualifiers" diagnostic
in some configurations.

* emacs-lisp/package-x.el (package--archive-contents-from-url)
(package--archive-contents-from-file): New functions.
(package-update-news-on-upload): New var.
(package-upload-buffer-internal): Extract archive-contents from
package-archive-upload-base if it is not found at archive-url.
Obey package-update-news-on-upload.
(package-upload-buffer, package-upload-file): Doc fix.

auth-source.el (auth-source-save-behavior): New variable to replace `auth-source-never-create'.
 (auth-source-netrc-create): Use it.
 (auth-source-never-save): Remove.
nnimap.el (nnimap-stream): Doc fix.
 (nnimap-open-connection-1): Reverse the order of the ports to that the prompted-for port is first.
gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Don't clobber the async retrieval by the no-group selection.
gnus-demon.el (gnus-demon-init): run-with-timer should be called with numerical parameters.
auth-source.el (auth-source-creation-prompts): New variable to manage creation-time prompts.
 (auth-source-search): Document it.
 (auth-source-format-prompt): Add utility function.
 (auth-source-netrc-create): Don't default the user name to user-login-name.  Use `auth-source-creation-prompts' and some default prompts for user, host, port, and password (the default generic prompt remains ugly).
 (auth-source-never-save): Add customizable option to never save info.
 (auth-source-netrc-create): Use it and improve save prompts.  Fix help mode excursion.

* lisp/files-x.el (modify-dir-local-variable): Handle dir-locals from
the cache, and from non-file sources.

* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-variable): Return consistent results when a
dir-local from a file came from the cache or did not.
If a dir-local has no associated file, say it came from a "directory".

* lisp/files.el (hack-local-variables-confirm, hack-local-variables-filter):
Doc fix (say _which_ directory `dir-name' is).
(hack-dir-local-variables): Fix setting of `dir-name'.
Previous value seems clearly wrong.  Eg put a risky variable in a
dir-locals file, visit a file in a subdirectory, see which directory
it says the risky variables come from.  It should be the one with the
associated directory variables, not the one containing the visited file.

* lisp/files.el (dir-locals-find-file): Doc fix.
Fix the check for cache elements that have no associated file,
and the mtime check for those that do.

Still to do: some places that use dir-locals-find-file assume the
result is always a file, which is not true. (The function name is
misleading.)

auth-source.el (auth-source-netrc-create): Use `read-char' with no argument that XEmacs doesn't support.

* configure.in: Replace obsolete AC_OUTPUT() with AC_CONFIG_FILES(),
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS(), and AC_OUTPUT sans arguments.

* lisp/dired-x.el (dired-hack-local-variables):
Handle interrupts during hacking local variables.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/autoload.el (autoload-save-buffers)
(autoload-find-destination, update-directory-autoloads):
Avoid prompts when updating autoloads.

gnus-art.el (article-make-date-line): Ignore errors if time is invalid and not convertible.
 (article-make-date-line): Only add lapsed time if time is not nil.
auth-source.el (auth-source-netrc-element-or-first): New function to DTRT for parameter extraction.
 (auth-source-netrc-create): Use it and fix multiple parameter print bug.  Use the default passed from above (given-default) or the built-in (user-login-name for :user).

* nsterm.m (ns_draw_window_cursor): Obey the cursor_width argument
directly, for bar cursors.

* xdisp.c (set_frame_cursor_types): Don't write an undefined value
into the frame's cursor_width.

Obey escapeflag for hash tables as well.

auth-source.el (auth-source-netrc-create): Use `read-char' instead of `read-char-choice' for backwards compatibility.

auth.texi (Help for users): Mention ~/.netrc is also searched by default now.
gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Set buffer-save-without-query, since we always want to save the dribble file, probably.
nnmail.el (nnmail-article-group): Allow a final "" split to work on nnimap.
gnus-sum.el (gnus-user-date-format-alist): Renamed back again from -summary- since it's a user-visible variable.
nnimap.el (nnimap-retrieve-group-data-early): Don't do QRESYNC the first time you use the new Gnus.
auth-source.el: Don't load netrc.el.
 (auth-sources): Search ~/.netrc as well by default.
 (auth-source-debug): Add 'trivia option for extra output.
 (auth-source-do-trivia): Use it.
 (auth-source-search): Simplify logic to use `auth-source-search-backends'.  Use `auth-source-do-trivia' where appropriate.  Don't keep a running count at this level.  Layer :create and :delete options appropriately on the first and second passes.  Don't track the backend with the search results.
 (auth-source-search-backends): New function to search a list of backends for a processed spec.
 (auth-source-netrc-parse): Cache all netrc files, making auth-source-netrc-cache an alist keyed by the file name and using the file mtime as the caching criterion.  Keep the obfuscated data secret with a lexical bind.
 (auth-source-netrc-search): Don't calculate the length of the results unnecessarily.
 (auth-source-search-backends): Fix bug.
 (auth-source-netrc-create): Rework prompts.
nnir.el (nnir-imap-search-arguments,nnir-imap-default-search-key): Lower case names of search constraints.
 (nnir-run-query): Cache and reuse search constraints for all imap servers.
gnus-msg.el (gnus-setup-message): Define missing variable from last checkin.

* lisp/dired.el (dired-mode): Call hack-dir-local-variables-non-file-buffer.

* lisp/dired-x.el (dired-omit-mode): Safe if boolean.
(dired-enable-local-variables): Fix doc and custom type.  Mark risky.
(dired-enable-local-variables, dired-local-variables-file)
(dired-hack-local-variables): Make obsolete.
(dired-omit-here-always): Use dir-locals.el instead.

* doc/misc/dired-x.texi (Features): Don't advertise obsolete local variables.
Simplify layout.
(Omitting Variables): Update local variables example.
(Local Variables): Say this is obsolete.  Fix description of
dired-enable-local-variables possible values.

* etc/NEWS: Relocate the existing entry about directory local
variables in file-les buffers, and make it clearer.
Mention above dired changes.
