local variable in all ERC buffers.
(erc-update-modules): Move body of `erc-update-modules' to new
internal function.
(erc--update-modules): Add new function, a renamed and slightly
modified version of `erc-update-modules'. Specifically, change return

Use `custom-variable-p' to detect flavor.
(erc--merge-local-modes): Add helper for finding local modules
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.
(erc--assemble-toggle): Add new helper for constructing mode toggles,
like `erc-sasl-enable'.
(define-erc-modules): Defer to `erc--assemble-toggle' to create toggle
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.

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.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-tests--make-server-buf,
erc-tests--make-client-buf): Add helpers for creating dummy ERC
buffers.

* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-misc.el (erc-scenarios-handle-irc-url):
Add new test.

supported.

erc-compat--29-auth-source-pass--retrieve-parsed,
erc-compat--29-auth-source-pass-backend-parse,
erc-compat--auth-source-backend-parser-functions): Adapt some yet
unreleased functions from auth-source-pass that mimic the netrc
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,

* doc/misc/erc.texi: Update the `erc' and `erc-tls' entry-point
sections with the new :id keyword parameter. Expand the auth-info
related information in the passwords section. Remove all mention of
the variable `erc-rename-buffers', whose "on" behavior has been made
permanent.

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-session-client-certificate): New
buffer-local variable storing the TLS client certificate used for the
current connection.
(erc-open-network-stream): Use open-network-stream instead of
make-network-process, and pass any additional arguments to it.
(erc-server-connect): Add an optional client-certificate argument
that if present is passed with the :client-certificate keyword as part
of the arguments to erc-server-connect-function.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-open): Add new optional client-certificate
argument, set it as erc-session-client-certificate, and pass it along
to erc-server-connect.

argument.
(erc-tls): Add new client-certificate keyword argument and pass it in
the direct call to erc-open (instead of going through erc).

* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
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.
* GNUmakefile (help):
* admin/admin.el (manual-doctype-string):
* admin/charsets/Makefile.in (${charsetdir}/ALTERNATIVNYJ.map):
* admin/charsets/mapconv:
* lisp/net/soap-client.el (soap-create-envelope):
* lisp/org/org.el (org-doi-server-url):
* lisp/textmodes/bibtex.el (bibtex-generate-url-list):
Prefer https: to http: un URLs.
This fixes some URLs I omitted from my previous pass,
notably those in lists.gnu.org. Although lists.gnu.org
does not yet support TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 is better than nothing.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-official-location):
* lisp/mail/emacsbug.el (report-emacs-bug):
Use https:, not http:.
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.
