* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp, time-stamp--system-name):
Use 'string-match-p' instead of 'string-match'.
(time-stamp--count-newlines): New function to implement the algorithm.
(time-stamp--system-name-1): New function, a testing seam.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el (with-time-stamp-system-name): Use the
new testing seam to expand test coverage.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp--message, time-stamp--system-name):
New utility functions.
(time-stamp, time-stamp-once, time-stamp-string-preprocess):
Call the new functions.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-once): Do not look for additional
templates once we have displayed the warning about being disabled.
Move earlier the check for arguments being the correct type.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el (time-stamp-custom-messages): New test.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Use
'string-width' instead of 'length' to calculate needed padding.
Thanks to Stefan Monnier for the suggestion.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Use
'length' instead of 'format' to calculate string padding,
so that we consistently count characters, not bytes.
* lisp/time-stamp.el: Add an Info link in the commentary,
now that the manual has more to say.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Time Stamps for One File): Expand one
consistent example.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Time Stamps): Divide into three sections.
* doc/emacs/emacs.texi: Add new nodes to menu.
* lisp/time-stamp.el: Change reference to new node.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Move all of the
big 'while' loop to the end of the function, to better expose its
structure of iterating over the format string.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-pattern, time-stamp-count): Document
how to update different time stamps on multiple lines.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Time stamps): Add an example showing a time
stamp at the end of a file.
* etc/NEWS: Announce time-stamp format additions.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el: More title-case tests.
* lisp/time-stamp.el: (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Rename 'alt-form'
to 'colon-cnt' because it is now an integer.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el: Rename 'formatz-generate-tests' to
'define-formatz-tests'.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): new formats for
lowercase weekday name, lowercase month name, and system name
* test/lisp/time-stamp.el: new tests
(formatz-generate-tests): Better doc strings for generated test fns.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp): Use a marker for the
search end limit so we don't insert past it.
(time-stamp-conv-warn): Include a second suggested conversion
that might be what was intended.
Include a link to variable 'time-stamp-format'.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el: more tests
* lisp/time-stamp (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Stop truncating month
and weekday name strings; it didn't internationalize well.
Some historical conversions, previously accepted quietly, now warn.
(time-stamp-format): Recommend the simpler formats implemented in 2019.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el: Update tests and comments to match.
Revert commit 83e4559664 (2022-07-01), which was working around the
former confusion between truncation and abbreviation.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): %P variations;
allow (and ignore) "*", "E", and "O" as modifier characters.
(time-stamp-inserts-lines): safe-local-variable only if booleanp
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-format, time-stamp-pattern): Reformat
doc strings for clarity.
(group time-stamp): is a subgroup of "files", not "data".
The "data" group seems to be for editing non-text files.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el: Fix tense of some doc strings.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-format): doc 'file' instead of 'path'.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el (formatz, format-time-offset):
Clarify the difference and similarity between these two test helpers.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-formatz-from-parsed-options): New
function for time zone offset formatting ("%z" variants).
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el (formatz*): New unit tests to cover
the new implementation of %5z.
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Handle digit
options correctly to avoid overcounting colon options.
* test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el (time-stamp-format-time-zone-offset):
Add a new test case that would have caught the option-parsing error.
Fix documentation strings and comments for time-stamp. Most notably:
* lisp/time-stamp.el (time-stamp-active): in the doc string, clarify
that time-stamp-active does not add time-stamp to any hook.
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Change new format for
numeric time zone from %:z to %5z to match format-time-string better.
(time-stamp-format): Document support for numeric time zone.
See discussion in bug#32931.
* NEWS: Mention time-stamp-format %5z.
* time-stamp.el: Implement %:z as expanding to the numeric time zone
offset, to address the feature request of bug#32931. Do not document it
yet, to discourage compatibility problems in mixed Emacs 26 and Emacs 27
environments. Documentation will be added in a subsequent release at
least two years later. (We cannot yet use %z for numeric time zone
because in Emacs 26 it was documented to do something else.)
* time-stamp-tests.el (time-stamp-test-format-time-zone): expand this
test and break it into two tests, time-stamp-test-format-time-zone-name
and time-stamp-test-format-time-zone-offset.
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp-time-zone): Support customization with
an integer offset (a new possible value of the ZONE argument to
format-time-string in Emacs 27).
Update the safe-local-variable predicate from string-or-null-p
(describing time-stamp-time-zone's domain before 2015) to new
predicate time-stamp-zone-type-p (describing the current domain).
* time-stamp-tests.el (time-stamp-test-helper-zone-type-p): New test.
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp): Reformat the explanation of the
variables that affect time-stamp, for easier reading. In particular,
wrap the documentation to 75 characters, so that it displays neatly as
a before-save-hook customization option.
* time-stamp-tests.el (with-time-stamp-test-env): Use imperative voice,
per checkdoc.
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp-format): Untabify the doc string, so
the two-column layout displays consistently in several contexts,
in particular when displayed by customize-variable.
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Revert change to "%04y"
format made 2 weeks ago by commit 0e56883878 (the previous commit to
this file). Although undocumented, "%04y" was discovered to be in use
in the wild (2016) and had not issued a warning that it would change.
Add a warning that it will change.
* time-stamp-tests.el (time-stamp-test-year-2digit): add test of "%04y"
* time-stamp.el (time-stamp-string-preprocess): Update some undocumented
formatting characters of time-stamp format for closer (still incomplete)
alignment with format-time-string. They have displayed a warning since
Emacs 20 (released in 1997), so it is unlikely anyone is using them.
* time-stamp-tests.el: Update tests to match new expectations.
