The edits for CWG2310 inadvertently required the base class to be complete instead of the derived class in one of the edits. After consultation with CWG, the derived class is now required to be complete in all cases.
The edits for CWG2331 were intended to be an editorial cleanup and wording simplification, but were found to have unintentional normative effect. This issue is being returned to CWG for redrafting.
The edits for CWG2332 added a note that was not entirely accurate. The note, along with the normative text that it references, have been rephrased to clarify that an injected-class-name is never interpreted as a template-name in a context in which class template argument deduction would apply (even though it can be interpreted as a template-name in some cases in a context where a decl-specifier might be parsed, such as in a template-argument).
The wording moved for CWG2020 inadvertently omitted some edits that were part of the wording reviewed by CWG. Those edits were not substantive, and have been restored editorially.
Removed redundant restatement of the operator== symmetry rule in defaulted
operator!=; looking for reversed candidates and rewriting == expressions is
already handled by overload resolution, and a reversed operator== can never
be selected anyway because the two arguments are of the same type.
Likewise the corresponding redundant wording was removed from the rules for
defaulted operators <, >, <=, and >= that inaccurately claimed they
could select a reversed operator<=>.
Modernized the wording to follow current editorial conventions, and simplified where possible.
Fixed a contradiction between the core and library wording; the library wording
allowed a coroutine_handle<> to resume any coroutine, but the core wording
did not account for that possibility and only permitted resumption via a
coroutine_handle<P> with the right promise type P.
Replaced the references to CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable with the intended Cpp17CopyConstructible and Cpp17CopyAssignable after consultation with LWG.
Several section labels introduced by the motions papers have been modified to match our style guide. In addition to the section labels affected by the above motions, all section labels containing underscores have been renamed to instead use periods.
In N4791 (the post-San-Diego working draft), an editorial change was applied
to repair missing wording in 2018-11 CWG motion 14
(P0595R2 "std::is_constant_evaluated()").
This change added a definition of the term "usable in constant expressions"
as applied to objects and references that was inadvertently dropped from the
wording during CWG review.
Further review within CWG has shown that the dropped wording is also incorrect, so the editorial fix has been reverted (leaving the definition absent rather than incorrect), and a proper definition will be inserted by a core issue.
A log of editorial fixes made to the working draft since N4800 is below. This list excludes changes that do not affect the body text or only affect whitespace or typeface. For a complete list including such changes (or for the actual deltas applied by these changes), consult the draft sources on github.
commit 142acf0bbde8d6fd20cb67c051d896fec33a84b6
Author: stryku <stryku2393@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Oct 11 18:41:18 2018 +0200
[decl.init]/10 Fix specified initialization.
According to [basic.start.static]/2, for objects with static storage duration,
zero initialization performs only if constant initialization does not.
[decl.init]/10 can be generalized to static initialization.
This is an editorial note change.

Revert "[expr.const] Add missing definition of 'usable in constant expressions'"
The prior editorial fix was an attempt to re-add wording that was
missing from P0595R2 (moved as 2018-11 CWG Motion 14). However, CWG
analysis has indicated that the editorial fix is incomplete, so we're
reverting it to restore the wording to the as-moved state.
This reverts commit e58439bce8af85e6569328272c2cfb73f5fc44d6.
