* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-search-group,
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group): If a search is initiated from
a topic line, make sure we get all the groups under that topic (and
under sub-topics).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-search-group,
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group): If the query is coming in via
the old 'nnir-query-spec key, we know not to parse it.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-search.el (gnus-search-make-query-string): Check if
the query was sent in as '(query "query"), and not '(query . "query).
(gnus-search-imap-search-keys): Add x-gm-raw to imap search keys.
(gnus-search-prepare-query): If we know this query should be raw,
don't even try parsing it, as it probably won't work.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-search-group,
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group): Check for and accept the old
nnir-* spec keys.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-search.el (shared-initialize): Use
generate-new-buffer instead of doing it ourselves.
(gnus-search-server-to-engine): Raise an informative error explicitly
if we can't find a search engine, rather than letting it fall through
to something less helpful.
(gnus-search-make-spec): Add `gnus-search--complete-key-data' to
`completion-at-point-functions' locally, not globally.
This library provides a fundamental reworking of the search
functionality previously found in nnir.el. It uses class-based search
engines to interface with external searching facilities, and a parsed
search query syntax that can search multiple engines.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-search.el: New library containing search
functionality for Gnus.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi: Document.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-search-group,
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group): Remove references to nnir,
change meaning of prefix argument, change values of nnselect-function
and nnselect-args.
* lisp/gnus/nnselect.el: Replace references to nnir
(nnselect-request-article): Use gnus-search functions, and search
criteria.
(nnselect-request-thread, nnselect-search-thread): Use gnus-search
thread search.
(gnus-summary-make-search-group): Switch to use gnus-search function
and arguments.
* test/lisp/gnus/search-tests.el: Tests for new functionality.
This is part of removing code from nnir.el that isn't related to
searching backends and therefore belongs somewhere else.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-search-group)
(gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group): Put the logic for
determining the groups to search here, rather than in nnir. Improve
documentation.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-int.el (gnus-server-get-active): Renamed from
'nnir-get-active.
* lisp/gnus/nnir.el (nnir-run-imap, nnir-run-find-grep): Use it.

favor of 'gnus-group-server.
* lisp/org/ol-gnus.el (org-gnus-store-link): Change 'nnir to
'nnselect.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el: Define obsolete function alias for
'gnus-group-make-nnir-group to

'nnir-retrieve-headers-override-function to
'nnselect-retrieve-headers-override-function.
* lisp/gnus/nnir.el: Restore definition of 'nnir-summary-line-format
and mark obsolete.
This new backend allows gnus to handle arbitrary sets of messages
spanning multiple groups, even when these groups are from different
backends and different servers. All gnus glue is removed from
nnir (leaving only the backend search functions) and gnus
search-related processing is done through nnselect. In appropriate
places 'nnir' has been replaced by 'nnselect' or 'search'.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi: New documentation for nnselect and update
searching and thread-referral sections.
* lisp/gnus/nnselect.el: New file.

gnus-group-make-search-group): New functions.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-setup-message, gnus-group-news,

from gnus-slave-unplugged (and add the latter as an obsolete alias).
* lisp/gnus/gnus.el (gnus-other-frame-function): Adjust function
names in the defcustom to new naming scheme.
(gnus-other-frame-resume-function): Ditto.
(gnus): Adjust parameter names.
This makes the accessors into (inlined) functions (instead of macros),
which simplifies some uses, and it makes the gnus-info-set-<foo>
macros redundant since we can use `setf` instead. Remove them and
update all users.
(gnus-info-group, gnus-info-rank, gnus-info-read, gnus-info-marks)
(gnus-info-method, gnus-info-params): Auto-defined by defstruct.
(gnus-info-level, gnus-info-score): Define as a function. Add gv-setter.
(gnus-info-set-group, gnus-info-set-rank, gnus-info-set-read): Remove,
use `setf` instead.
(gnus-info-set-marks, gnus-info-set-method, gnus-info-set-params):
Define as a function.
(gnus-info-set-entry): Delete function.
(gnus-info--grow-entry): New function, extracted from it.
(gnus-info--set-level, gnus-info--set-score): New functions, extracted
from the `gnus-info-set-level` and `gnus-info-set-score` which they replace.
(gnus-get-info): Define as a function.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-edit-group-done):
Use the `extend` arg of `gnus-info-set-method`.
(gnus-group-sort-selected-flat): eta-reduce.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-set-info): Packages that use
Gnus summary mode without actually booting Gnus might end up in this
situation. See bug#36903
This mostly changes http: to https: in URLs. It also updates
some URLs that have moved, removes some URLs that no longer
work, recommends against using procmail (procmail.org no
longer works), and removes some mentions of the
no-longer-existing Gmane, LPF and VTW.
It doesn't update all URLs, just the ones I had time for.

This replaces the awkward reuse of encode-time to both convert
calendrical timestamps to Lisp timestamps, and to convert Lisp
timestamps to other forms. Now, encode-time does just the
former and the new function does just the latter.
The new function builds on a suggestion by Lars Ingebrigtsen in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2019-07/msg00801.html
and refined by Stefan Monnier in:

All uses changed.
(time_arith): Just return TICKS if HZ is 1.
(Fencode_time): Remove argument FORM. All callers changed.
Do not attempt to encode time values; just encode
decoded (calendrical) times.
Unless CURRENT_TIME_LIST, just return VALUE since HZ is 1.
(Ftime_convert): New function, which does the time value
conversion that bleeding-edge encode-time formerly did.
Return TIME if it is easy to see that it is already
of the correct form.
(Fcurrent_time): Mention in doc that the form is planned to change.
* test/src/timefns-tests.el (decode-then-encode-time):
Don’t use (encode-time nil).
This completes the process started in c1b63af445. Gnus group names are
now fully decoded inside the Gnus system.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-file-coding-system): Change

(gnus-active-to-gnus-format): Make sure incoming group names are

gnus-topic-alist.
* lisp/gnus/nnagent.el: Don't use a unibyte buffer.
* lisp/gnus/nnheader.el (nnheader-file-coding-system): Switch default
from 'raw-text to 'undecided, on the assumption that 'undecided will
probably write 'utf-8-emacs unless the user has arranged things
otherwise.
* lisp/gnus/nnimap.el (nnimap-decode-gnus-group,

* lisp/gnus/nnrss.el: Stop using gnus-group-decoded-name in all these

* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-set-info): Apparently this
method of updating the group info will only apply to the
gnus-newsrc-hashtb, not gnus-newsrc-alist. Do the alist explicitly.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Foreign Groups): Update description of
gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group for multiple bug
IDs (bug#11961).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-bug-group-download-format-alist):
Use HTTPS for Debian's bug tracker.
(gnus-group--read-bug-ids): New function for reading multiple bug
IDs in the minibuffer. Improves on previous brittle approach of
word-at-point -> read-string -> string-to-number by a) defaulting to
the more accurate bug-reference-bug-regexp or number-at-point
without using the intrusive INITIAL-INPUT argument, and b) not
attempting to parse bug IDs.
(gnus-read-ephemeral-bug-group): Use it. Extend docstring and
commentary. Fix handling of multiple bug IDs as either numbers or
strings. Hoist some string consing out of inner loop. Delete
temporary file even on error. Throw more informative error when
url-insert-file-contents successfully returns an error (bug#36433).
(gnus-read-ephemeral-debian-bug-group): Use gnus-group--read-bug-ids
and fix docstring for multiple bug IDs. Accept optional WINDOW-CONF
like other ephemeral bug group commands.
(gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group): Use gnus-group--read-bug-ids
and fix string/numeric ID conversions. Try loading debbugs-gnu
before testing for debbugs-gnu-summary-mode (bug#36433).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-sort-flat): As
gnus-newsrc-hashtb is now a real (unsorted) hash table, use
gnus-group-list to maintain group sort order.
(gnus-group-sort-selected-flat): Ditto.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-subscribe-alphabetically): Simplify
function using seq-find.
(gnus-subscribe-killed, gnus-subscribe-zombies): Use cl-pushnew to
avoid adding duplicates (can happen when un/subscribing multiple
times to one group).
This fixes oversights from
2018-04-26T16:26:27-07:00!eric@ericabrahamsen.net and
2016-02-13T18:45:11+11:00!larsi@gnus.org.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-describe-all-groups): Insert
group name and description instead of group name twice. Do not pass
a hash-table to intern. Call sort with correct number of arguments.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-prepare-flat-list-dead): Set
gnus-group property to a group name, not active info. (bug#33653)
Simplify surrounding logic.
(gnus-group-prepare-flat, gnus-group-goto-group): Use accessor
macros.
(gnus-group-insert-group-line, gnus-group-new-mail)
(gnus-group-mark-group): Write ?\s instead of ? .
(gnus-group-group-name, gnus-group-list-active): Simplify.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-goto-group);
Use gnus-active-hashtb in addition to gnus-newsrc-hashtb to check if
a group exists since some kinds of groups are registered in only one
of them (bug#35208).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-goto-group):
Use gnus-newsrc-hashtb instead of gnus-active-hashtb to check if
a group exists even if its server is not activated (bug#33653).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-list-active): The property value
should be the group name, not the value of gethash. Ie, it should be
the key, not the value.
Gnus has used obarrays as makeshift hash tables for groups: group
names are coerced to unibyte and interned in custom obarrays, and
their symbol-value set to whatever value needs to be stored. This
patch replaces those obarrays with actual hash tables.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-util.el (gnus-intern-safe, gnus-create-hash-size):
Remove functions.
(gnus-make-hashtable): Change to return a real hash table.
(gnus-text-property-search): Utility similar to `text-property-any',
but compares on `equal'. Needed because the 'gnus-group text
property is now a string.
* lisp/gnus/gnus.el (gnus-gethash, gnus-gethash-safe, gnus-sethash):
Remove macros.
(gnus-group-list): New variable holding all group names as an
ordered list. Used because `gnus-newsrc-hashtb' used to preserve
`gnus-newsrc-alist' ordering, but now doesn't.
* lisp/gnus/nnmaildir.el (nnmaildir--servers): Change from obarray to
alist.
(nnmaildir--up2-1): Remove function.
* lisp/thingatpt.el (thing-at-point-newsgroup-p): This was making use
of Gnus obarrays, replace with a cond that can handle many different
possibilities.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-bcklg.el (gnus-backlog-articles): Remove
gnus-backlog-hashtb, which wasn't doing anything. Just keep a list
of ident strings in gnus-backlog-articles.
(gnus-backlog-setup): Delete unnecessary function.
(gnus-backlog-enter-article, gnus-backlog-remove-oldest-article,
gnus-backlog-remove-article, gnus-backlog-request-article): Alter
calls accordingly.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-dup.el (gnus-duplicate-list-max-length): Rename from
`gnus-duplicate-list-length', for accuracy.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-active-to-gnus-format,
gnus-groups-to-gnus-format, gnus-newsrc-to-gnus-format): Read group
names as strings.
(gnus-gnus-to-quick-newsrc-format): Write `gnus-newsrc-alist' using
the ordering in `gnus-group-list'.

`mapatoms' for `maphash', etc.
* test/lisp/gnus/gnus-test-headers.el (gnus-headers-make-dependency-table,
gnus-headers-loop-dependencies): New tests to make sure we're
building `gnus-newsgroup-dependencies' correctly.
Use timestamp accessors instead of delving into a timestamp
format that is planned to change in a future version.

* lisp/gnus/nnmaildir.el (nnmaildir-request-accept-article):
Use format-time-string instead of delving into timestamp format.
* lisp/gnus/nnmaildir.el (nnmaildir-request-expire-articles):
Use time-less-p instead of delving into timestamp format.
* lisp/ido.el (ido-wash-history, ido-file-name-all-completions):
Use time-equal-p instead of delving into timestamp format.
* lisp/net/tramp-adb.el (tramp-adb-handle-set-file-times):
Use format-time-string to generate POSIX ‘test -t’ format instead
of timestamp-format-dependent code along with shell arithmetic
that can’t possibly do the right thing on a POSIX platform.
* lisp/gnus/gnus.el (gnus-mode): New do-nothing major mode, derived
from special mode.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-mode): Change from a function to
a major mode, derive from gnus-mode.
(gnus-summary-setup-buffer): Change call a bit -- can no longer pass
an argument to the mode function.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-srvr.el (gnus-browse-mode): Derive from gnus-mode.
(gnus-server-setup-buffer): Remove unnecessary function.
(gnus-enter-server-buffer): Call gnus-server-mode here, and call it
whether the server buffer already existed or not.
(gnus-server-mode): Change from a function to a major mode.
(gnus-server-mode-hook): Delete custom option, this is automatically
created.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-salt.el (gnus-tree-mode): Derive from gnus-mode.
(gnus-tree-mode-hook): Delete custom option, this is automatically
created.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-kill.el (gnus-kill-file-mode-hook): Delete custom
option.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-mode):

whether we found the group.

(gnus-update-read-articles): Ditto.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group):
Divert to call `gnus-activate-group' with the SCAN argument set,
if request-group-scan is not defined for the backend. Ensure that
the server is open when calling `gnus-request-group-scan'
(bug#22649).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el
(gnus--abort-on-unsaved-message-buffers): New function (bug#28843).
(gnus-group-exit): Use it to abort exit if we have unsaved Message
buffers.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-update-group-mark-positions):
Rewrite a call to string-to-multibyte that didn't even work.
After the rewrite it gives the correct result and should allow
people to customise Gnus group process mark positions (but that's
a pretty obscure feature).
