* lisp/vc/ediff.el (ediff-windows-wordwise)
(ediff-windows-linewise, ediff-regions-wordwise): Update and
clarify the doc strings.
* doc/misc/ediff.texi (Major Entry Points): Update and clarify
the documentation of 'ediff-windows-wordwise' and
'ediff-regions-wordwise'. See the discussion starting at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2018-11/msg00197.html
for the details.
* lisp/textmodes/ispell.el
(ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries): Invoke Hunspell with an
additional command-line argument, to work around a misfeature
in Hunspell 1.7.0 that prevents it from reporting the loaded
dictionary. (Bug#33493)
* lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el (c-fl-decl-start): A c-forward-syntactic-ws leaves
point inside whitespace when moving over a comment at EOB which has no
terminating LF. Check this possibility and correct for it.
On 2018-11-16, the 26th meeting of the General Conference on Weights
and Measures (CGPM) has redefined the International System of Units by
adopting fixed values for the Planck constant, the elementary charge,
the Boltzmann constant, and the Avogadro constant:

* lisp/calc/calc-units.el (math-standard-units): Update according
to redefinition of the SI in 2018. (Bug#33412)
* lisp/descr-text.el (describe-char): Explain how does the
function obtain the various data about the character. Don't
display "preferred" before "charset": it tends to confuse
people.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el (edebug-print-length)
(edebug-print-level): Fix customization type to allow setting
the documented valid value nil via the Customize interface.
* lisp/international/mule.el (sgml-xml-auto-coding-function):
Avoid signaling an error from coding-system-equal when the XML
encoding tag specifies an encoding whose type is 'charset'.
(Bug#33429)
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Window Hooks): Remove text that
warns against using 'save-window-excursion' while running
'window-size-change-functions', it's no more relevant.
Clarify description of 'window-configuration-change-hook'.
* lisp/window.el (window-size-change-functions): Run
'window--adjust-process-windows' from
'window-size-change-functions' too (Bug#32720, "another issue"
in Bug#33230).

This improves on the recent fix for master failing to build
on FreeBSD. Suggested by Stefan Monnier in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-01/msg00600.html
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-file):
Put tempfile next to the target file, as was the original intent.
(cherry picked from commit 64c8467386)
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Anonymous Functions):
* lisp/subr.el (lambda): Note that under lexical binding a lambda form
yields a closure object (Bug#33199).
* lisp/window.el (display-buffer-overriding-action)
(display-buffer-alist, display-buffer-base-action)
(display-buffer-fallback-action, display-buffer-assq-regexp)
(display-buffer): Rewrite doc-strings using suggestions by
Alan Mackenzie <acm@muc.de>.
(display-buffer-use-some-frame): Adjust doc-string and
reformat code.
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Buffer Display Action Alists):
Make docs on 'window-height', 'window-width' and
'preserve-size' entries more accurate.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/pcase.el (pcase-dolist, pcase-let)
(pcase-let*): Improve the doc strings.
* doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions): Improve
wording and rename arguments of seq-let to be more
descriptive. Add a cross-reference to "Destructuring with
pcase Patterns".
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Pattern-Matching Conditional):
Improve wording and the menu.
(pcase Macro): Incorporate patch suggested by Paul Eggert
<eggert@cs.ucla.edu>. Reformat text.
(Destructuring with pcase Patterns): Rename from
"Destructuring patterns", and improve wording and indexing.
* lisp/net/rcirc.el (rcirc-filter): Clear rcirc-process-output
before processing its constituent lines. Otherwise, if rcirc-filter
runs again before the last rcirc-process-server-response is
finished, the contents of rcirc-process-output could be duplicated.
* lisp/doc-view.el (doc-view-mode): Run the output file name
through 'convert-standard-filename', to avoid problems with
characters that are not allowed in file names on some
systems. (Bug#32989)
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
* lisp/epg.el (epg--start): Use 'raw-text' for coding system instead
of 'binary', in order to avoid spurious carriage return on Microsoft
Windows and MS-DOS when prompting for a password. (Bug#33040)
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-fetch-old-headers): Avoid
treating 'some' and 'invisible' as symbols that need to be
hyperlinked. Reported by Robert Pluim <rpluim@gmail.com>.
(Bug#33090)
* doc/emacs/search.texi (Basic Isearch): Index
'isearch-delete-char', its keybinding and the isearch "input
item" concept, and define the latter.
(Error in Isearch): Clarify the different uses of DEL and
C-M-w during isearch.
* lisp/isearch.el (isearch-delete-char): Correct its
documentation and link to the Info node '(emacs)Basic Isearch'
which explains less technically how this function works in
everyday usage.
This fixes Bug#32630: since "dired-aux" moved to lexical binding mode,
the free variable TO in the constructed HELP-FORM got out of scope of
the surrounding 'let'.
* lisp/dired-aux.el (dired-create-files): Make the binding of
HELP-FORM a string.
For the case when load-prefer-newer is t, ensure loading the right file
by explicitly adding the .el suffix. Use the same variable names
as in the function smtpmail-send-it. (Bug#33055)
