* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-normalize-port): Add standard IANA port-name
mappings for 6667 and 6697.
(erc-open): Add note to doc string explaining that params `connect'
and `channel' are mutually exclusive.
(erc-tls): Call `erc-compute-port' with override.
(erc-compute-port): Call `erc-normalize-port' with result'.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-tls): Add simplistic test focusing
on default parameters. (Bug#56514.)
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc--server-connect-dumb-ipv6-regexp): Add
liberal pattern for matching bracketed IPv6 addresses.
(erc-server-connect): Remove brackets from IPv6 hosts before
connecting.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--ensure-url): Add compat adapter to massage
partial URLs given as input that may be missing the scheme:// portion.
(erc-select-read-args): Keep bracketed IPv6 hosts
intact. Make this function fully URL-aware (was only partially so).
Accept optional `input' argument.
* lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-tests--ipv6-examples,
erc--server-connect-dumb-ipv6-regexp, erc-select-read-args): Add test
reading user input during interactive invocations of entry points.
(Bug#56514.)
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-parse-tags-format): New option to
determine type of the `erc-response' "tags" field.
(erc-parse-tags): Defer to internal generic function.
(erc--parse-tags): New function to hold original `erc-parse-tags'
implementation.
(erc--parse-message-tags): New generic function that conditionally
calls `erc--parse-tags', perhaps emitting a warning beforehand.
(erc-parse-server-response): Call `erc--parse-message-tags'.
(Bug#58797.)
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc--server-reconnect-timer): New variable.
(erc-server-reconnect-function): New user option.
(erc-process-sentinel-2): Display time remaining until next
reconnection attempt. Also remove condition case and move bulk of
else condition logic to `erc-schedule-reconnect'. More importantly,
no longer set `erc--server-reconnecting here').
(erc-server-connect): Initialize `erc--server-reconnect-timer' to nil.
(erc-server-reconnect): Set `erc-server--reconnecting' here.
(erc--mode-line-process-reconnecting): New constant to store value for
"reconnect" state of `mode-line-process'.
(erc--cancel-auto-reconnect-timer): New function to cancel
auto-reconnect timer and print message.
(erc-schedule-reconnect): New function for scheduling another
reconnect attempt.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-open): Only update mode line for target
buffers. For server buffers, let `erc-login' and/or process sentinels
take care of it.
(erc--cmd-reconnect, erc-cmd-RECONNECT): Rename latter to former, a
new function, but repurpose existing to recognize newly allowed
additional arguments and act accordingly. In new internal function,
cancel an existing auto-reconnect timer, if any, before proceeding.
Defer to `erc-server-reconnect' to set `erc--server-reconnecting'.
Fix `with-suppressed-warnings' form.
(erc-update-mode-line-buffer): Show "reconnecting in Ns" for
`mode-line-process' when awaiting an automatic reconnect attempt.
(erc-message-english-reconnecting,
erc-message-english-reconnect-canceled): Add new message functions to
English catalog.
* lisp/erc/erc-pcomplete.el (pcomplete/erc-mode/RECONNECT): Perform
completion for newly subcommand-aware `erc-cmd-RECONNECT'.
* lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-base-reconnect
(erc-scenarios-base-cancel-reconnect): Add new test case for canceling
reconnect timers. (Bug#58840.)
* doc/misc/erc.texi: Mention that the auth-source-pass backend is
supported.
* lisp/erc/erc-compat.el (erc-compat--29-auth-source-pass-search,
erc-compat--29-auth-source-pass--build-result-many,
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,
erc--auth-source-search--pass-overrides): Remove `ert-skip' guard.
(Bug#58985.)
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC): Add /DCC GET switches.
This is unfinished business from bug#54458.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-dcc-tests.el (erc-dcc-tests--pcomplete-common,
pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC--get-basic, pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC--get-1flag,
pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC--get-2flags,
pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC--get-2flags-reverse): Add helper and tests for
completing /DCC GET switches.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-format-message): Although not mentioned in its
log message, commit 5281946fbf "Make
format-spec accept function substitutions" also fixed a bug involving
the `ignore-missing' parameter of `format-spec'. Until now, ERC has
been relying on the old behavior to gracefully handle malformed server
messages. This commit tries to regain that functionality.
"Emacsen" is either a less clear way of saying "old versions of
Emacs", or an implicit reference to XEmacs. We recommend against
using it in the FAQ. So use the more clear wording instead.

These were announced as removed in Emacs 28.1 NEWS, but apparently
never actually deleted: only their obsoletion warning was removed.
So the warnings were reintroduced in Emacs 28.2, and we now actually
delete them here instead.
* src/process.c (Fset_process_filter_multibyte)
(Fprocess_filter_multibyte_p): Delete functions obsolete since
Emacs 23.
(syms_of_process): Delete corresponding defsubrs.
* lisp/subr.el (process-filter-multibyte-p)
(set-process-filter-multibyte): Delete obsoletion.
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-dcc-server): Don't use obsolete functions.
* lisp/filesets.el:
* lisp/mh-e/mh-*.el:
* lisp/progmodes/python.el (python): Don't set options that are
already set in .dir-locals.el.
* lisp/textmodes/ispell.el: Remove redundant local variables.
* lisp/gnus/nnmaildir.el: Remove local variables that conflicts with
Emacs defaults.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-last-peers): Leave default as
nil instead of a quoted constant.
(erc-server-connect): Initialize `erc-server-last-peers' to a new
value local to a server buffer.
(erc-message): Operate on server's local `erc-server-last-peers' value
instead of the global default. Prefer replacing value instead of
mutating CDR to make for easier testing.
(erc-server-PRIVMSG): Create a new `erc-server-last-peers' for easier
testing. (Bug#56449)
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-dcc-chat-setup): Ensure initialization runs
in the intended buffer regardless of the value of `erc-join-buffer'.
(erc-dcc--send-final-turbo-ack, erc-dcc-get-filter): Rename internal
variable formerly known as `erc-dcc--X-send-final-turbo-ack'.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-inhibit-multiline-input): Add option to cap the
number of lines to be sent before admonishing the user.
(erc-ask-about-multiline-input): Add option to ask instead of warning
user when `erc-inhibit-multiline-input' is reached.
(erc--check-prompt-input-for-excess-lines): Add validator to possibly
warn when too many lines are submitted for transmission.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el
(erc--check-prompt-input-for-excess-lines): Add test.
(Bug#54536)
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--pre-send-split-functions): Add new internal
hook allowing members to revise individual lines before sending. This
was created with an eye toward possibly exporting it publicly as a
customizable option.
(erc-last-input-time): Tweak meaning of variable to match likely
original intent, which is that it's only updated on successful calls
to `erc-send-current-line'.
(erc--discard-trailing-multiline-nulls): Conditionally truncate list
of lines to be sent, skipping trailing blanks. This constitutes a
behavioral change. But, considering the nature of the bug being
fixed, it is thought to be justified.
(erc--input-split): Add new internal struct containing split input
lines and flag for command detection.
(erc--input-line-delim-regexp): Add regex var for splitting multiline
prompt input.
(erc--blank-in-multiline-p): Add helper for detecting blank lines.
(erc--check-prompt-input-for-multiline-blanks,
erc--check-prompt-input-for-point-in-bounds,
erc--check-prompt-input-for-running-process): New functions to
encapsulate logic for various pre-flight idiot checks.
(erc--check-prompt-input-functions): Add new hook for validating
prompt input prior to clearing it, internal for now.
(erc-send-current-line): Pre-screen for blank lines and bail out if
necessary.
(erc-send-input): Add optional param to skip checking for blank lines.
Call hook `erc--pre-send-split-functions'.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-ring-previous-command): Use new test
helper.
(erc--input-line-delim-regexp,
erc--blank-in-multiline-input-p): Add tests.
(erc-tests--send-prep, erc-tests--set-fake-server-process,
erc-tests--with-process-input-spy): Add test helpers.
(erc--check-prompt-input-functions, erc-send-current-line,
erc-send-whitespace-lines): Add tests.
(Bug#54536)
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-send-input-line): Restore remedial single-space
padding to ensure empty messages typed at the prompt without an
explicit /msg aren't rejected by the server. This behavior is only
noticeable when `erc-send-whitespace-lines' is active.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-process-input-line): Add trailing
newline to more correctly simulate how it's actually called by
`erc-send-input'. (Bug#50008)
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-password): Deprecate variable only used by
`erc-select-read-args'. Server passwords are primarily used as
surrogates for other forms of authentication. Such use is common but
nonstandard and often discouraged in favor of the de facto standard,
SASL. Folks in the habit of invoking `erc(-tls)' interactively should
be encouraged to use auth-source instead.
(erc-select-read-args): Before this change, `erc-select-read-args'
offered to use the value of a non-nil `erc-password' as the :password
argument for `erc' and `erc-tls', referring to it as the "default"
password. And when `erc-prompt-for-password' was nil and
`erc-password' wasn't, the latter was passed along unconditionally.
This only further complicated an already confusing situation for new
users, who in most cases shouldn't be worried about sending a PASS
command at all. Until SASL arrives, they should provide server
passwords manually or learn to use auth-source.
(erc-auth-source-server-function, erc-auth-source-join-function): New
user options for retrieving a password externally, ostensibly by
calling `auth-source-search'.
(erc--auth-source-determine-params-defaults): New helper for
`erc--auth-source-search' with potential for exporting publicly in the
future. Favors :host and :port fields above others. Prioritizes
network IDs over announced servers and dialed endpoints.
(erc--auth-source-determine-params-merge): Add new function for
merging contextual and default parameters. This is another contender
for possible exporting.
(erc--auth-source-search): New function for consulting auth-source and
sorting the result as filtered and prioritized by the previously
mentioned helpers.
(erc-auth-source-search): New function to serve as default
value for auth-source query-function options.
(erc-server-join-channel): Use user option for consulting auth-source
facility. Also accept nil for first argument (instead of server).
(erc-cmd-JOIN): Use above-mentioned facilities when joining new
channel. Omit server when calling `erc-server-join-channel'. Don't
filter target buffers twice. Don't call `switch-to-buffer', which
would create phantom buffers with names like target/server that were
never used. IOW, only switch to existing target buffers.
(erc--compute-server-password): Add new helper function for
determining password.
(erc-open, erc-determine-parameters): Move password figuring from the
first to the latter.
* lisp/erc/erc-services.el
(erc-auth-source-services-function): Add new option for consulting
auth-source in a NickServ context.
(erc-nickserv-get-password): Pass network-context ID, when looking up
password in `erc-nickserv-passwords' and when formatting prompt for
user input.
(erc-nickserv-passwords): Add comment to custom option definition type
tag.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-services-tests.el: Add new test file for above
changes. For now, stash auth-source-related tests here until a
suitable home can be found.
* lisp/erc/erc-join.el (erc-autojoin--join): Don't pass session-like
entity from `erc-autojoin-channels-alist' match to
`erc-server-join-channel'. Allow that function to decide for itself
which host to look up if necessary.

(Bug#48598)
* lisp/erc/erc-join.el (erc-autojoin-server-match): Favor network
identities, falling back on old definition.
(erc-autojoin--join): Add new helper containing common code from
hookees `erc-autojoin-after-ident' and `erc-autojoin-channels'.
(erc-autojoin-after-ident, erc-autojoin-channels): No longer make a
point of returning nil because the hooks they're registered on,
`erc-nickserv-identified-hook' and `erc-after-connect', don't stop on
success.
(erc-autojoin--mutate): Add helper for `erc-autojoin-add' and
`erc-autojoin-remove'.
(erc-autojoin-add, erc-autojoin-remove): Favor given network
identities, over networks, when matching keys for
`erc-autojoin-channels-alist'.

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-JOIN): Use `erc--open-target'
instead of `erc-join'.
(erc-server-PRIVMSG): Don't call `erc-auto-query' at all, and instead
borrow the portion of its logic that detects when a query buffer
should be created instead of a channel buffer.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-cmd-QUERY): Update the mode line explicitly
after calling `erc-query' in case it's needed after `erc-setup-buffer'
runs. Simplify.
(erc-query, erc--open-target): Replace uses of `erc-query'
with `erc--open-target' and make the former obsolete. Don't call
`erc-update-mode-line' because `erc-open' already does that.
(erc-auto-query): Make this function obsolete. It was previously only
used in erc-backend.el and only sewed confusion.
(erc-query-on-unjoined-chan-privmsg): Add note questioning its role.
It was previously only used by the now deprecated `erc-auto-query'.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-misc.el
(erc-scenarios-base-mask-target-routing): Add test for server masks.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/base/mask-target-routing/foonet.eld: New file.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-kill-buffer-function): Don't add hook when
loading file. Move to major-mode setup and make buffer-local instead.
Depends on tests in bug#48598.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-connected): Revise doc string.
(erc-server-reconnect, erc-server-JOIN): Reuse original ID param from
the first connection when calling `erc-open'.
(erc-server-NICK): Apply same name generation process used by
`erc-open'; except here, do so for the purpose of "re-nicking".
Update network identifier and maybe buffer names after a user's own
nick changes.
* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el (erc-networks--id, erc-networks--id-fixed,
erc-networks--id-qualifying): Define new set of structs to contain all
info relevant to specifying a unique identifier for a network context.
Add a new variable `erc-networks--id' to store a local reference to a
`erc-networks--id' object, shared among all buffers in a logical
session.
(erc-networks--id-given, erc-networks--id-create,
erc-networks--id-on-connect, erc-networks--id--equal-p,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-init-parts,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-init-symbol,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-grow-id,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-reset-id,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-prefix-length,
erc-networks--id-qualifying-update, erc-networks--id-reload,
erc-networks--id-ensure-comparable, erc-networks--id-sort-buffers):
Add new functions to support management of `erc-networks--id' struct
instances.
(erc-networks--id-sep): New variable for to help when formatting
buffer names.
(erc-obsolete-var): Define new generic context rewriter.
(erc-networks-shrink-ids-and-buffer-names,
erc-networks--refresh-buffer-names,
erc-networks--shrink-ids-and-buffer-names-any): Add functions to
reassess all network IDs and shrink them if necessary along with
affected buffer names. Also add function to rename buffers so that
their names are unique. Register these on all three of ERC's
kill-buffer hooks because an orphaned target buffer is enough to keep
its session alive.
(erc-networks-rename-surviving-target-buffer): Add new function that
renames a target buffer when it becomes the sole bearer of a name
based on a target that has become unique across all sessions and, in
most cases, all networks. IOW, remove the @NETWORK-ID suffix from the
last remaining channel or query buffer after its namesakes have all
been killed off. Register this function with ERC's target-related
kill-buffer hooks.
(erc-networks--examine-targets): Add new utility function that visits
all ERC buffers and runs callbacks when a buffer-name collision is
encountered.
(erc-networks--qualified-sep): Add constant to hold separator between
target and suffix.
(erc-networks--construct-target-buffer-name,
erc-networks--ensure-unique-target-buffer-name,
erc-networks--ensure-unique-server-buffer-name,
erc-networks--maybe-update-buffer-name): Add helpers to support
`erc-networks--reconcile-buffer-names' and friends.
(erc-networks--reconcile-buffer-names): Add new buffer-naming strategy
function and helper for `erc-generate-new-buffer-name' that only run
in target buffers.
(erc-determine-network, erc-networks--determine): Deprecate former and
partially replace with latter, which demotes RPL_ISUPPORT-derived
NETWORK name to fallback in favor of known `erc-networks-alist'
members as part of shift to network-based connection-identity policy.
Return sentinel on failure. Expect `erc-server-announced-name' to be
set, and signal when it's not.
(erc-networks--name-missing-sentinel): Value returned when new
function `erc-networks--determine' fails to find network name. The
rationale for not making this customizable is that the value signifies
the pathological case where a user of an uncommon IRC setup has not
yet set a mapping from announced- to network name. And the chances of
there being multiple unknown networks is low.
(erc-set-network-name, erc-networks--set-name): Deprecate former and
partially replace with latter. Ding with helpful message, and don't
set `erc-network' when network name is not found.
(erc-networks--ensure-announced): Add new fallback function to ensure
`erc-server-announced-name' is set. Register with post-MOTD hooks.
(erc-unset-network-name): Deprecate function unused internally.
(erc-networks--insert-transplanted-content,
erc-networks--reclaim-orphaned-target-buffers,
erc-networks--copy-over-server-buffer-contents,
erc--update-server-identity): Add helpers for
`erc-networks--rename-server-buffer'. The first re-associates all
existing target buffers that ought to be owned by the new server
process. The second grabs buffer text from an old, dead server buffer
before killing it. It then inserts that text above everything in the
current, replacement server buffer. The other two massage the IDs of
related sessions, possibly renaming them as well. They may also
uniquify the current session's network ID.
(erc-networks--init-identity): Add new function to perform one-time
session-related setup. This could be combined with
`erc-set-network-name'.
(erc-networks--rename-server-buffer): Add new function to replace
`erc-unset-network-name' as default `erc-disconnected-hook' member;
renames server buffers once network is discovered; added to/removed
from `erc-after-connect' hook on `erc-networks' minor mode.
(erc-networks--bouncer-targets): Add constant to hold target symbols
of well known bouncer-configuration bots.
(erc-networks-on-MOTD-end): Add primary network-context handler to run
on 376/422 functions, just before logical connection is officially
established.
(erc-networks-enable, erc-networks-mode): Register main network-setup
handler with 376/422 hooks.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-rename-buffers): Change this option's default
to t, remove the only instance where it's actually used, and make it
an obsolete variable.
(erc-reuse-buffers): Make this an obsolete variable, but take pains to
ensure its pre-28.1 behavior is preserved. That is, undo the
regression involving unwanted automatic reassociation of channel
buffers during joins, which arrived in ERC 5.4 and effectively
inverted the meaning of this variable, when nil, for channel buffers,
all without accompanying documentation or announcement.
(erc-generate-new-buffer-name): Replace current policy of appending a
slash and the invocation host name. Favor instead temporary names for
server buffers and network-based uniquifying suffixes for channels and
query buffers. Fall back to the TCP host:port<n> convention when
necessary. Accept additional optional params after the others.
(erc-get-buffer-create): Don't generate a new name when reconnecting,
just return the same buffer. `erc-open' starts from a clean slate
anyway, so this just keeps things simple. Also add optional params.
(erc-open): Add new ID param to for a network identifier explicitly
passed to an entry-point command. This is stored in the `given' slot
of the `erc-network--id' object. Also initialize the latter in new
connections and otherwise copy it over. As part of the push to recast
erc-networks.el as an essential library, set `erc-network' explicitly,
when known, rather than via hooks.
(erc, erc-tls): Add new ID keyword parameter and pass it to
`erc-open'.
(erc-log-irc-protocol): Use `erc--network-id' instead of the function
`erc-network' to determine preferred peer name.
(erc-format-target-and/or-network): This is called frequently from
mode-line updates, so renaming buffers here is not ideal. Instead, do
so in `erc-networks--rename-server-buffer'.
(erc-kill-server-hook): Add `erc-networks-shrink-ids-and-buffer-names'
as default member.
(erc-kill-channel-hook, erc-kill-buffer-hook): Add
`erc-networks-shrink-ids-and-buffer-names' and
`erc-networks-rename-surviving-target-buffer' as default member.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-log-irc-protocol): Use network-ID
focused internal API.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-networks-tests.el: Add new file that includes
tests for the above network-ID focused functions.
See bug#48598 for background on all of the above.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-default-recipients, erc-default-target):
Explain that the variable has fallen out of favor and that the
function may have been used historically by third-party code for
detecting channel subscription status, even though that's never been
the case internally since at least the adoption of version control.
Recommend newer alternatives.
(erc--current-buffer-joined-p): Add possibly temporary predicate for
detecting whether a buffer's target is a joined channel. The existing
means are inconsistent, as discussed in bug#48598. The mere fact that
they are disparate is unfriendly to new contributors. For example, in
the function `erc-autojoin-channels', the `process-status' of the
`erc-server-process' is used to detect whether a buffer needs joining.
That's fine in that specific situation, but it won't work elsewhere.
And neither will checking whether `erc-default-target' is nil, so
long as `erc-delete-default-channel' and friends remain in play.
(erc-add-default-channel, erc-delete-default-channel, erc-add-query,
erc-delete-query): Deprecate these helpers, which rely on an unused
usage variant of `erc-default-recipients'.
* lisp/erc/erc-services.el: remove stray `erc-default-recipients'
declaration.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-NICK, erc-server-JOIN,
erc-server-KICK, erc-server-PART): wrap deprecated helpers to suppress
warnings.
* lisp/erc/erc-join.el (erc-autojoin-channels): Use helper to detect
whether a buffer needs joining. Prefer this to server liveliness, as
explained above.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--target, erc--target-channel,
erc--target-channel-local): Add new structs to hold info on a buffer's
target; stored in a local variable of the same name.
(erc--target-from-string): Add standalone constructor for
`erc--target'.
(erc--default-target): Add temporary internal getter to ease
transition to `erc--target' everywhere.
(erc-open): Create above items in non-server buffers.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-NICK): Recreate `erc--target'
when necessary.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--valid-local-channel-p): Add internal helper to
determine whether an IRC channel is local according to its network's
CHANTYPES ISUPPORT parameter.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc--valid-local-channel-p): Add test
for this helper.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-login): Also known as connection passwords,
these are sent as the sole arg to the PASS command, which is nowadays
often overloaded with other semantics imposed by various entities to
convey things like bouncer or services creds.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-downcase, erc--casemapping-rfc1459-strict,
erc--casemapping-rfc1459): Add new translation tables for the latter
two mappings and use them in `erc-downcase'.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el: Add test for `erc-downcase'.
