(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

erc-networks-on-MOTD-end): Fix comments and doc strings. Also change
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.

method instead of calling `erc-login' explicitly.

local variable in all ERC buffers.

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'.

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

Add new test.

backend, and add forward declarations to support them.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--auth-source-search): Use own auth-source-pass
erc-compat backend.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-services-tests.el
(erc-join-tests--auth-source-pass-entries): Remove useless items.
(erc--auth-source-search--pass-standard,
erc--auth-source-search--pass-announced,

buffer-local variable storing the TLS client certificate used for the

chat.freenode.net has been the preferred address for connecting to the
freenode IRC network for years now. Replace the occurrences of
irc.freenode.net with chat.freenode.net.
This mostly changes http: to https: in URLs. It also updates
some URLs that have moved, removes some URLs that no longer
work, recommends against using procmail (procmail.org no
longer works), and removes some mentions of the
no-longer-existing Gmane, LPF and VTW.
It doesn't update all URLs, just the ones I had time for.
