* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-QUERY): Be less enthusiastic about
announcing missing/broken functionality. The comment "except this is
broken right now" has been there since 2008, and it's not obvious to
me that we should ever re-add it.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-default): prevent excess trailing newlines
from being sent.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el: Update `erc-process-input-line' test to
check for excess line feeds with unknown commands.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-reconnecting,
erc--server-reconnecting): obsolete and replace the former with new
internal variant, which carries a simplified meaning.
(erc-server-reconnect-p, erc--server-reconnect-p): Obsolete and
replace the former with an internal function, and change behavior to
disregard `erc-server-reconnecting' when rendering verdict.
(erc-process-sentinel-2): ensure local var `erc--server-reconnecting'
is t when timers are scheduled or firing, and nil otherwise, including
after retries exhausted. This agrees with the straightforward way
`erc-server-reconnecting' has always been used by `erc-cmd-RECONNECT'.
(erc-server-connect): set `erc--server-reconnecting'.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-RECONNECT): use `erc--server-reconnecting'
instead of `erc-server-reconnecting'.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-reconnecting-p):
Don't consider erc-server-reconnecting when rendering verdict.
(erc-process-sentinel-2): ensure local variable
erc-server-reconnecting is t when timers are scheduled or running and
trying to reconnect, and nil otherwise, including after no retries
remain. Previously, its use and meaning in erc-backend were convoluted
and conflicted with its use in erc-cmd-RECONNECT (bug#50007).
* erc.el (erc-send-input-line): Previously, any line typed into a
query or channel buffer without an explicit user-command
handler (meaning most lines), would be sent twice because a trailing
newline (linefeed) would be appended. This has been verified by
checking IRCd server logs. IRCds won't return an error upon receiving
an empty message, but they also won't forward them to channel
subscribers and DM pals.
* erc-tests.el: Add test for erc-process-input-line, which also
indirectly tests erc-send-input-line. It also tests the command
lookup and dispatch facility (bug#50008).
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-dcc-member): Remove XEmacs compat code.
* lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el (erc-move-to-prompt-setup): Doc fix;
remove spurious reference to XEmacs; this is needed also for
Emacs.
That autoload file is created as part of the Emacs compilation
process, however we would like ERC to be usable if used outside
emacs.git (e.g. if installed from GNU ELPA).
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Announce the new command, and mention it at the top of
the file along with 'report-emacs-bug'.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-bug): New command for reporting ERC bugs. It
prompts for a subject, and passes it on to 'report-emacs-bug' along
with the current ERC version, with the ERC mailing list in Cc.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-version): New constant holding the current ERC
version, now used in the function with the same name to produce a
version string for use across ERC for consistency. Also, add another
optional argument, 'bold-erc', which when non-nil, marks the "ERC"
portion of the string with the control character for bold display.
(erc-quit/part-reason-default): Use the 'erc-version' function for a
consistent version string.
(erc-cmd-SV): Mention the ERC version number from the 'erc-version'
constant.
(erc-ctcp-query-VERSION): Use the 'erc-version' function for a
consistent version string.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the addition of the command.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-WII): Add '/wii' convenience command which
calls the '/whois' command with the given nick as both arguments,
which is useful for displaying the whois information for the nick
along with idle time, even if the nick is on a different server than
the one we are currently connected to.
* etc/NEWS: Remove unneeded entry.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-WHOIS): Restore the previous order of
arguments sent to the server, so that there's no change in the
function's behavior. Instead, rename the arguments to be more
accurate, and expand upon them in the doc string.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-WHOIS): Switch the order of 'server' and
'user' arguments sent to the server. Per RFC 1459 and RFC 2812, the
optional 'server' argument command comes before the 'user' argument,
not after. While at it, update the doc string to explain why one may
want to specify the 'server' argument.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
* lisp/obsolete/erc-compat.el: Move from here...
* lisp/erc/erc-compat.el: ...back to here. ERC will soon be added to
GNU ELPA, and erc-compat.el will be used to provide compatibility
functions and/or variables for using ERC on older Emacsen.
* etc/NEWS: Remove the previously added obsoletion news item.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-OPME, erc-cmd-DEOPME): Add convenience
commands for setting and unsetting the operator status on the current
nick in the current channel. 'erc-cmd-OPME' relies on ChanServ for
obtaining the operator status (see doc string for more details).
* etc/NEWS: Announce the addition of the commands.
When 'erc-prompt-for-nickserv-password' is non-nil, don't ignore the
other forms of identification. Instead, process them first, and
prompt for the password last. Separate concerns (determination of the
nick to use, of the password to use, and actual message sending).
Note that the user can be interactively prompted for a password on
reception of a NickServ request, as before (on
'erc-prompt-for-nickserv-password').
* lisp/erc/erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-identify): Make the password
argument optional (and don't prompt for it interactively). Further,
now take the nick to use for identification (interactively, ask for
it, defaulting to the current one). Move the actual message sending
into the new 'erc-nickserv-send-identify' function, and the password
prompting into 'erc-nickserv-get-password'.
(erc-nickserv-send-identify): New function containing the code for
sending the identify message to NickServ, given the nick and password.
(erc-nickserv-get-password): Try each password source in turn, in the
following order: 'erc-nickserv-passwords', auth-source (if
'erc-use-auth-source-for-nickserv-password' is non-nil), and in the
end prompt the user interactively (if
'erc-prompt-for-nickserv-password' is non-nil). If one source returns
a string, the function returns it, or nil if the string is empty.
(erc-nickserv-call-identify-function): Declare obsolete, but retain
for backward compatibility. Prefer invoking 'erc-nickserv-identify'
directly instead.
(erc-nickserv-identify-autodetect, erc-nickserv-identify-on-connect)
(erc-nickserv-identify-on-nick-change): Call 'erc-nickserv-identify'
directly ('erc-nickserv-call-identify-function' has been obsoleted).
For the last two functions, remove the redundant checks on the
NickServ identification flags (additionally, it is doubtful they have
any measurable impact on performance).
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.

* lisp/erc/erc-join.el (erc-autojoin-channels-alist): Explain the
extension.
(erc-autojoin-server-match): New function.
(erc-autojoin-channels): Use it.
(erc-autojoin-current-server): New function.
(erc-autojoin-add): Use it.
(erc-autojoin-remove): Ditto.
This can be useful when connecting to an IRC proxy like Weechat that
relays several networks under the same server. If we just keyed on the
server name, we would end up joining a channel on all networks
whenever we join one network on that server.
Networks are simply stored as symbols instead of regexes, since that's
how `erc-network' works.
The `erc-autojoin-add' function will still auto-add servers as strings
if the network doesn't have at least one entry in
`erc-autojoin-channels-alist'.
These days, a "home page" is understood to be only "the main web page
of a website" or "landing page", whereas a "website" is "a collection
of web pages and related content" (Wikipedia).

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Fix line-ending mismatch between
incoming and outgoing logger lines without changing interface. Do this
by adding carriage returns to the latter to improve machine
readability. Change printed peer labels to most accurately reflect
logical endpoints.
(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to support
timestamps in protocol logger output.
(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to help tooling
track logging format independent of ERC and Emacs versions.
(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to protocol-log buffer
to aid future bug-reproduction tools. Clean up overlong lines (bug#50009).
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-lurker-maybe-trim): Prevent warning from
showing up in third-party code using this function by autoloading
rx.el when needed. Remove trailing chars appended for uniquifying
purposes when a nick is already taken. Special thanks to Mattias
Engdegård for making this more respectable (Bug#50005).

probable bug when a new insert event happens for a buffer that was not
tracked or for which no mode line face was selected: in this case,
stop treating the latest buffer's face (first in list) as the previous
one, which could be overridden with an older one (in FACES' rest), as
if it had happened after.
* lisp/erc/erc-track.el (erc-track-find-face): Declare obsolete and
rewrite as 'erc-track-select-mode-line-face', changing the function
arguments, so that it is very clear what the current algorithm is.
No functional changes. Performance improvements. Clarify the
documentation and remove the part on some faces being lists, which
clearly does not apply.
(erc-track-modified-channels): Replace calls to 'erc-track-find-face'
with calls to 'erc-track-select-mode-line-face', preserving the
existing behavior.
(erc-modified-channels-alist): Change the reference to
'erc-track-select-mode-line-face' in the documentation following the
rename.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.

* lisp/erc/erc-track.el (erc-modified-channels-alist): Clarify what
the list contains. Add references to variables and functions involved
in displaying tracked buffers from this list.
(erc-make-mode-line-buffer-name): Describe exactly the algorithm, and
reference custom variables that influence it.
* lisp/erc/erc-track.el (erc-modified-channels-alist): Fix the
docstring: each element is a dotted list where the last cdr is
sometimes a proper list, making the element only sometimes a proper
list.
