+        Revert "* lisp/mouse.el: Fix mouse-1-clock-follows-mouse = double"
+
+        This reverts commit 02a5cfce471613f671722b35536d2a78f17b0429.
+        That commit breaks because of a missing patch to `parse_modifiers_uncached`
+        in `src/keyboard.c`.  IOW, too risky for `emacs-27`.
+
+        Don't merge to `master`.

+2021-03-18  Stefan Monnier  <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
+
+        * lisp/mouse.el: Fix mouse-1-clock-follows-mouse = double
+
+        This functionality was broken by commit 3d5e31eceb9dc1fb62b2b2,
+        the problem being that we end up considering as distinct the events
+        `down-double-mouse-1` and `double-down-mouse-1`.
+
+        Reported by Eyal Soha <eyalsoha@gmail.com>
+
+        (mouse--click-1-maybe-follows-link): Make sure the last element of
+        the list passed to `event-convert-list` is indeed a "basic" event.
+
+2021-03-18  Stefan Monnier  <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
+
+        * lisp/emacs-lisp/gv.el (edebug-after): Don't run the getter in the setter
+
+        This fixes bug#46573 which was introduced by commit
+        d79cf638f278e50c22feb53d6ba556f5ce9d7853.
+        The new code is a middle ground, which makes sure the instrumentation
+        point is used (so the coverage checker won't have ghost unreachable
+        instrumentation points) yet without artificially running the getter
+        when we only need to run the setter.

+        just space and \t (bug#46609).

+
+2021-03-18  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz@gnu.org>
+
+        Fix language-environment and font selection on MS-Windows
+
+        These changes improve setting the language-environment and font
+        selection when MS-Windows returns useless "ZZZ" as the "language
+        name", which then disrupts all the setup of the locale-dependent
+        stuff, and in particular font selection.
+        * lisp/w32-fns.el (w32-charset-info-alist): Add an element for
+        "iso8859-5", in case LANG is set to something unusable, like
+        "ZZZ".  This allows fonts capable of displaying Cyrillic
+        characters to be used even when language preferences are screwed.
+
+        * src/w32.c (init_environment): If GetLocaleInfo returns "ZZZ" as
+        the "language name" for LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, try again with locale
+        ID based on what GetUserDefaultUILanguage returns.  (Bug#39286)

+
+2021-03-18  Lars Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>
+
+        Clarify how transient indentation modes are exited in the manual
