* etc/ERC-NEWS: Don't hype bugged option `erc-reconnect-display'.
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-dcc-do-GET-command): Add comment explaining
parsing bug in ERC 5.5 (bug#62444).
* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el (erc-networks-on-MOTD-end): Mention known
/MOTD bug in error notice so people don't waste energy reporting
it (bug#62151).
* lisp/erc/erc.el: Change Version header to 5.5.0.29.1. Don't bother
updating the `customize-package-emacs-version-alist' entry
because no option defaults are affected.
(erc-version): Change version to 5.5.0.29.1.
(erc-reconnect-display, erc-query-on-unjoined-chan-privmsg): Add
warning to doc strings and `custom-set' functions. It's believed that
these bugs degrade the user experience significantly enough to warrant
such mentions (bug#62833).

Do not merge to master.
* doc/misc/erc.texi: Mention in various places that ERC is also
available from GNU ELPA.

former from constant to internal variable in case adjustment needed
between releases.
(erc-networks--warn-on-connect): New function to warn about the
`networks' module being absent from `erc-modules'. This could
probably run at any time up to and including when the logical IRC
connection is established, but doing so at the process/protocol
boundary seems ideal.
* lisp/erc/erc-sasl.el (erc--register-connection): Defer to base
method instead of calling `erc-login' explicitly.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-generate-new-buffer-name): Don't reconcile
buffer names when networks module not in play.
(erc-format-target-and/or-network): Don't assume networks module
loaded.

word, based on usage in other manuals. Also replace loud "warning" in

add minimal authorization support with copies of SASL functions
introduced in Emacs 29.

(erc-modules): When a user removes a module, disable it and kill its
local variable in all ERC buffers.
(erc-update-modules): Move body of `erc-update-modules' to new
internal function.

already active as minor modes in an ERC buffer.
(erc-open): Replace `erc-update-modules' with `erc--update-modules'.
Defer enabling of local modules via `erc--update-modules' until after
buffer is initialized with other local vars. Also defer major-mode
hooks so they can detect things like whether the buffer is a server or
target buffer. Also ensure local module setup code can detect when
`erc-open' was called with a non-nil `erc--server-reconnecting'.
* lisp/erc/erc-common.el (erc--module-name-migrations,
erc--features-to-modules, erc--modules-to-features): Add alists of
old-to-new module names to support module-name migrations.

commands.

* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-migrate-modules,
erc--update-modules): Add rudimentary unit tests asserting correct
module-name mappings.
(erc--merge-local-modes): Add test for helper.

asserting module-creation macro. (Bug#57955.)

under Advanced Usage.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Add new section mentioning improved UX when clicking
on irc:// links.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-handle-irc-url): Add optional "scheme"
parameter. Fix `erc-open' invocation so that the server buffer is
named correctly by deferring to a new customizable opener. Arrange
for JOINing a channel in a manner similar to ERC's autojoin module.
(erc-url-connect-function): Add new option for creating a new ERC
connection based on info parsed from a URL.
(erc--url-default-connect-function): New function to serve as an
interactive-only fallback when a user hasn't specified a URL connect
function.

compatibility function for `browse-url-irc' and include it in
`browse-url-default-handlers' on Emacs versions below 29.

erc-tests--make-client-buf): Add helpers for creating dummy ERC
buffers.

description and abstain from ever replacing the current buffer.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-base-reconnect.el
(erc-scenarios-common-base-reconnect-options): Update helper to handle
new default value for option `erc-join-buffer'.
(erc-scenarios-base-reconnect-options--buffer): Update and rename
function `erc-scenarios-base-reconnect-options--default'.
(erc-scenarios-base-reconnect-options--default): Update and rename
function `erc-scenarios-base-reconnect-options--bury'.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Update existing display-buffers section for 5.5.
(Bug#51753)
* lisp/erc/erc-match.el (erc-match-quote-when-adding) Add new option
to quote new items added to match lists.
(erc-add-entry-to-list): Add optional `alt' parameter indicating
whether to flip the behavior indicated by
`erc-match-quote-when-adding'.
(erc-add-pal, erc-add-fool, erc-add-keyword, erc-add-dangerous-host):
Pass universal arg to `erc-add-entry-to-list' as `alt' argument.
(erc-match-pal-p, erc-match-fool-p, erc-match-keyword-p,

union instead of looping over items.

related information in the passwords section. Remove all mention of
the variable `erc-rename-buffers', whose "on" behavior has been made
permanent.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Add new section for future 5.5 release.
* 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.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Small tweaks inspired by etc/NEWS, namely to add a
descriptive blurb at the top of the file to explain what it is about
and how to report ERC bugs, add a form feed before the section for
every release, and set the same Local Variables that etc/NEWS does.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: copy ERC NEWS items from etc/NEWS, etc/NEWS.27,
etc/NEWS.26, etc/NEWS.25, and etc/NEWS.24 to here. Future ERC NEWS
are also to be added here. This is in motivated by preparation for
addition of ERC to GNU ELPA, along with the ERC manual and NEWS.
* etc/NEWS: remove ERC-related entries, and refer the reader to
ERC-NEWS instead.
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.
