These changes remove some assumptions of Lisp code on timestamp
format. Although we’re not going to change the default format any
time soon, I went looking for code that was too intimate about
details of timestamp format and removed assumptions where this was
easy to do with current Emacs primitives.
* lisp/ido.el (ido-wash-history):
Fix test for zero timestamp.
* lisp/time.el (display-time-event-handler):
Use time-less-p rather than doing it by hand.
(display-time-update): Simplify by using float-time
instead of doing the equivalent by hand.
* lisp/url/url-auth.el (url-digest-auth-make-cnonce):
* test/lisp/calendar/parse-time-tests.el (parse-time-tests):
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/timer-tests.el (timer-test-multiple-of-time):
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el:
(tramp-test19-directory-files-and-attributes)
(tramp-test22-file-times, tramp-test23-visited-file-modtime):
Don’t assume detailed format of returned Lisp timestamps.
Formerly nil meant both that DST was not in effect and that
the DST flag was unknown, and different functions interpreted
the flag differently. Now the meaning is consistently nil for
DST not in effect, and -1 for DST flag not known.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Conversion): The DST slot is
now three-valued, not two-.
* doc/misc/emacs-mime.texi (time-date): Adjust to new behavior.
* etc/NEWS: Mention this.
* lisp/calendar/parse-time.el (parse-time-string):
* src/editfns.c (Fdecode_time):
Return -1 for unknown DST flag.
* test/lisp/calendar/parse-time-tests.el (parse-time-tests):
Adjust tests to match new behavior, and add a new
test for nil vs -1.
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.
