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places 'nnir' has been replaced by 'nnselect' or 'search'.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.
* lisp/gnus/nnir.el: Remove all gnus glue, leaving only searching
capability. Improve documentation strings.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group,
gnus-group-make-search-group): New functions.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-setup-message, gnus-group-news,
gnus-summary-news-other-window): Update to work for nnselect. Fix
gnus-newsgroup-name wrangling.
*lisp/gnus/gnus-registry.el
(gnus-registry-action,gnus-registry-ignore-group-p): Make work from nnselect.
* lisp/gnus/nnheader.el (nnheader-parse-head, nnheader-parse-nov):
Rework and consolidate header parsing.

Emacs portion of the bug reports (bug#41109).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-summary-attach-article): Before
iterating over the articles to attach, first close any open
article. Using `set-buffer' required `gnus-summary-select-article' to
re-set the buffer every time, meaning we never got off the original
article.

re-encoding.

default to utf-8-emacs.

decoded.

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,
nnimap-encode-gnus-group): Remove functions and their use.
* lisp/gnus/nnmail.el (nnmail-parse-active): Remove encoding.

files.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments):
Fix custom :type.
(gnus-debug-files, gnus-debug-exclude-variables): Mark variables
that have been unused since Emacs 24.1 as obsolete.
(gnus-check-before-posting): Remove unused variable.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Summary Message Commands): Document it.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-summary-attach-article): New command
and keystroke (bug#19788).
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-make-menu-bar): Menu bar
entry for it.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.

obsolete. Transform all usages of it into
replace-regexp-in-string.

Allow string replacements in values when matching against a header.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Posting Styles): Document the possibility to
perform string replacements when matching against headers.
* gnus.el (gnus-continuum-version): Do main calculations in integers.
(gnus-continuum-version-1): New function, return a string.
