2003-12-30  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.595 (erc-cmd-HELP):
        Changed to prefer giving help for erc-cmd-* functions over
           similarly-named Elisp functions (e.g., erc-cmd-LIST vs. list).

2003-12-28  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.594 (erc-query-buffer-p): Added this function.

        * erc.el 1.592 (erc-cmd-SAY):

        * erc.el 1.591 (erc-server-buffer-p):

2003-12-27  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.590 (erc-generate-new-buffer-name):
        Really fixed a bug where ERC would reuse
            a connected server buffer when erc-reuse-buffers is non-nil.
        (erc-cmd-JOIN): Now we tell the user when he attempts to join the same
            channel twice on the same server.

        * erc.el 1.589 (erc-generate-new-buffer-name):
        Fixed a bug where ERC would reuse a connected server buffer when erc-reuse-buffers is non-nil.

        * erc-list.el 1.11:
        Implemented function erc-chanlist-join-channel.  Added variable
        erc-chanlist-channel-line-regexp.  Got rid of function
        erc-chanlist-pre-command-hook.  Changed the logic for how channel lines are
        highlighted.

2003-12-26  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-list.el 1.10:

        * erc.el 1.586 (define-erc-module):
        New optional argument LOCAL-P.  If non-nil, then

        * erc.el 1.585 (erc-cmd-CTCP):
        Don't add a space to end of command when ARGS are

        being sent, and ignored.

2003-11-27  Lawrence Mitchell  <wence@gmx.li>

        * erc-log.el 1.9: From Adrian Aichner <adrian@xemacs.org>
        * erc-log.el (erc-log-file-coding-system): Use 'binary

        longer needed.
        * erc-log.el (erc-generate-log-file-name-long): Use

        (erc-ediff-latest-version): Make sure that we find the uncompiled

2003-09-13  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * Makefile 1.17, debian/README.Debian 1.7, debian/changelog 1.22:
        New debian release

        * erc-notify.el 1.22:
        Call erc-notify-install-message-catalogs on load, not on module init

        * erc.el 1.567 (erc-update-modules):
        Use `load' instead of `require'.  XEmacs appears
        to have the NOERROR arg only sometimes... Strange

        * erc.el 1.566: No fboundp if we have a defvar

        * erc.el 1.565: Properly defvar erc-ping-handler

        * debian/changelog 1.21, Makefile 1.16: New debian snapshot

        * erc-dcc.el 1.79, erc-xdcc.el 1.6:
        Use new function erc-dcc-file-to-name to convert spaces to underscores

        * erc-xdcc.el 1.5: Add autoload for erc-xdcc-add-file

2003-09-08  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        More autoloads which make dcc autoload upon ctcp dcc query received.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.76 (erc-cmd-DCC): Add Autoload.
        (pcomplete/erc-mode/DCC): Ditto, makes DCC autoloadable just by using
        completion.
        Also only offer "send" if fboundp make-network-process.

        * erc-autojoin.el 1.6: Update copyright

        * erc-autojoin.el 1.5 (erc-autojoin-add):
        Only add the channel if it is not already there.

        * erc-notify.el 1.21:
        Use `define-erc-module' instead of old `erc-notify-initialize'.
        Now defines the global minor mode erc-notify-mode, and should also
        be controllable via `erc-modules' with symbol `notify'.

        * erc.el 1.557 (erc-modules):
        Fix paren-in-column-zero bug in docstring.
        Add a sort of bogus, but still better :type.
        Add autojoin and netsplit by default.
        (erc-update-modules): Dont barf with an error if `require' fails.
        We can still error out if the mode is not defined.

2003-08-31  Andreas Fuchs  <asf@void.at>

        * erc.el 1.556:
        * make 353 (NAMES reply) output go into the appropriate channel buffer
          (if it exists) or into the active erc buffer (if not).

2003-08-29  mtoledo  <mtoledo@confusibombus>

        * erc.el 1.555:
        Added the variable erc-echo-notices-in-current-buffer to make possible display notices in the current buffer (queries to nickserv/chanserv/memoserv). Defaults to nil so nothing changes from what we have today.

2003-08-29  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.554: Fix typo in varname which led to a compiler warning

        * erc.el 1.553 (erc-send-current-line):
        Now we display the prompt for previously entered commands
            based on the value of customization variable erc-hide-prompt.  This change is
            closely related to revision 1.552 by wencem.

2003-08-04  Lawrence Mitchell  <wence@gmx.li>

        * erc.el 1.552 (erc-send-current-line):
        If we're sending a command, don't display
        the prompt.

2003-08-04  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-track.el 1.54: patch from David Edmondson (dme AT dme DOT org)

        This patch makes button 3 on the erc-track buffer names in the
        modeline show the selected buffer in another window. It's analogous to
        button 2 which shows the buffer in the current window.

2003-07-31  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.551 (erc-display-line-1):

        Modified erc-button-add-buttons:
          New optional argument REGEXP.
          If we're buttonising a URL and erc-button-wrap-long-urls is
          non-nil, try and wrap them

        Modified erc-button-add-buttons-1:
          Pass regexp to erc-button-add-buttons.

2003-07-28  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.549 (erc-network-name):
        Improved docstring.  Removed an unnecessary call to erc-server-buffer.

2003-07-28  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.548: By lawrence:
        (erc-ignored-user-p): Use anchored regexp.
        (smiley): Fix missing quote in `remove-hook' call.

2003-07-26  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-nets.el 1.4, erc-nickserv.el 1.12, erc.el 1.547:
        Changed all references to Openprojects into references to Freenode.

2003-07-25  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.546:
        Now variable erc-debug-irc-protocol is defvar'ed instead of defcustom'ed.
        Made the docstring clearer too.

        * erc.el 1.545: Fixed a wrong-type-argument error from window-live-p.

2003-07-15  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-log.el 1.7 (erc-log-setup-logging):
        set buffer-file-name to "", as (basic-save-buffer)
            will prompt for a buffer name before invoking hooks. the buffer-file-name
            will be overridden by (erc-save-buffer-in-logs) anyway - the main danger
            of doing this is write-file-contents hooks. Let's see if anyone complains.
        (erc-save-buffer-in-logs): return t, so that further write hooks are not run

2003-07-09  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-dcc.el 1.74 (erc-dcc-open-network-stream):
        -nowait still crashes emacs cvs - disable for now

2003-07-02  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.544 (erc): Minor docstring modification.

2003-07-01  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-match.el 1.20 (erc-match-current-nick-p):
        match only on word boundaries

        * erc-log.el 1.6 (erc-log-setup-logging):
        not sure how this crept in again - make sure we set
            buffer-file-name to nil, since otherwise it is not possible to open
            previous correspondence in another buffer while a conversation is open

2003-06-28  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.543 (erc-network-name):
        Now makes some intelligent guesses if the server didn't tell
            us the network name.

2003-06-28  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc.el 1.542 (erc-default-coding-system): Use utf-8 as the default
        encoding for outgoing stuff and undecided as the default for
        incoming stuff.
        (erc-coding-sytem-for-target): New.
        (erc-encode-string-for-target): Use it.
        (erc-decode-string-from-target): Use it.  Removed the flet
        erc-default-target hack and documented the dynamically bound
        variable `target' instead.

2003-06-25  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.541 (erc-log-irc-protocol):
        Now we keep point on the bottom line of the window
            displaying the *erc-protocol* buffer if it is at the end of the
            *erc-protocol* buffer.

        * erc.el 1.540:
        Added some text to the docstring for variable erc-debug-irc-protocol.

2003-06-23  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-dcc.el 1.73 (erc-dcc-auto-mask-p):
        Fixed a docstring typo that caused a load-time error.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.72 (erc-dcc-auto-mask-p):
        Changed reference to undefined variable erc-dcc-auto-mask-list
            to erc-dcc-auto-masks.
        Changed default value of variable erc-dcc-auto-masks to nil and added text to its
            docstring.

        * erc-notify.el 1.20 (erc-notify-timer and erc-notify-QUIT):
        Added network name to notify_off message.

        * erc.el 1.539 (erc-network-name):
        Now returns the name of the IRC server if the network name
            cannot be determined.

        * erc-notify.el 1.19 (erc-notify-JOIN and erc-notify-NICK):
        Added argument ?m to call to erc-display-message.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.71 (erc-dcc-do-LIST-command):
        Fixed a bug where I assumed (plist-get elt :type)
            returns a string -- it really returns a symbol.

        * erc-notify.el 1.18 (erc-notify-timer):
        Now we include the network name in the notify_on message.

        * erc.el 1.538:
        New function: erc-network-name.  Returns the name of the network that the
            current buffer is associate with.  Not every server sends the 005 messages
            that enable the network name to be known.  If the network name is
            not known, the string "UNKNOWN" is returned.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.70 (erc-dcc-chat-setup):
        Added a comment.  Fixed a bug where a DCC CHAT buffer has no
            prompt when it first appears.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.69 (erc-dcc-chat-parse-output):
        Now a DCC chat buffer displays the nick using
            erc-nick-default-face just like in a channel buffer.

2003-06-22  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.537 (erc-display-prompt):
        Fixed incorrect indentation.  No semantic change.

        * erc.el 1.536 (erc-strip-controls):
        Minor change to regexp that matches IRC color control
            codes.  I was seeing usage as follows: ^C07colored text^C^C04other color.
            Now we strip a ^C followed by zero, one, or two digits.  Before this change,
            we stripped a ^C followed by one or two digits.

        * erc-dcc.el 1.68 (erc-dcc-do-LIST-command):
        Improved format of output of /DCC LIST.  Now the
            "Size" column for a DCC GET includes the percentage of the file that has
            been retrieved.
        (erc-dcc-do-GET-command): Now it works if erc-dcc-default-directory is set.

2003-06-19  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-log.el 1.5:
        * added quickstart information to the comments up the top

2003-06-16  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.535:
        Default to open-network-stream on MS Windows. (thanks lawrence)

2003-06-11  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.534 (erc-process-input-line):
        refactor so that wrong-number-of-arguments is
            caught when using do-not-parse-args - this lets do-not-parse-args
            commands display help messages on incorrect syntax in a uniform manner.
            This no longer raises a bad-syntax error - was this a catch-all to stop a
            backtrace? Does it belong?
        (erc-cmd-APPENDTOPIC): the correct way to display help when you want to
            accept an abitrary string is to (signal 'wrong-number-of-arguments nil).
            This fixes a bug where people could not /at topics with a space in them.

2003-06-09  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.533:
        Re-add the last few changes which weren't merged for some reason.

        * erc.el 1.532 (erc-cmd-APPENDTOPIC): show help when given no arguments

        Patch from MrBump. Fixes problem with erc-set-topic inserting ^C characters
        into the topic. Also removes dependency on CL.

2003-06-08  Jorgen Schaefer  <forcer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.531:
        Added comment to explain (eval-after-load "erc" '(erc-update-modules)).

2003-06-01  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc-pcomplete.el 1.20: Add completion for /unignore

2003-05-31  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc-compat.el 1.12 (erc-encode-coding-string): The default binding,
        if encode-coding-string was not available, must be a defun that
        takes multiple arguments.  Did that.

2003-05-30  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.530:
        Add handlers for 313 and 330 (by arne@rfc2549.org, thanks)

2003-05-30  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.529:
        patch from MrBump to make /mode #foo +b work again (erc-cmd-BANLIST only
        temporarily changes them now)

2003-05-29  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc.el 1.528 (erc-select):
        server is now defaulted with erc-compute-server.
        A few cosmetic fixes.
        (erc-default-coding-system): Renamed from erc-encoding-default.
        (erc-encoding-default): Renamed to erc-default-coding-system.
        (erc-encoding-coding-alist): Documentation updated to cover regexps.
        (erc-encode-string-for-target): Now considers keys of
        erc-encoding-coding-alist to be regexps.  Rely on erc-compat
        wrt. MULE support.
        (erc-decode-string-from-target): New function.
        (erc-send-current-line): eq -> char-equal fix.
        (erc-server-TOPIC): topic is now decoded with
        erc-decode-string-from-target.
        (erc-parse-line-from-server): Line from server is no longer decoded
        here.
        (erc-server-PRIVMSG-or-NOTICE): Message from a user is decoded here,
        sspec -> sender-spec for clarity.  Cosmetic if -> when fix.
        (erc-server-TOPIC): sspec -> sender-spec
        (erc-server-WALLOPS): Ditto.

        * erc-compat.el 1.11 (erc-decode-coding-string):
        Now requires coding-system as an argument.

2003-05-15  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.527:
        erc-part|quit-hook is only run on a part|quit directed to our nick, reflect that in the docstring to avoid confusion

2003-05-01  Andreas Fuchs  <asf@void.at>

        * erc-truncate.el 1.3:
        * erc-truncate-buffer-to-size: use fboundp. Scheme takes its toll...

2003-05-01  Jorgen Schaefer  <forcer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-truncate.el 1.2: remove require of erc-log
        (erc-truncate-buffer-to-size): use erc-save-buffer-in-logs when it's
        there, else, dont.

2003-04-29  Andreas Fuchs  <asf@void.at>

        * erc-log.el 1.4, erc-truncate.el 1.1, erc.el 1.526: erc.el:
                * erc-cmd-QUIT: Remove references to code in erc-log.el, to
                  not force autoloading of erc-log.el
                * erc-server-PART: ditto.
                * erc-quit-hook: new hook, run when /quit command is
                  processed.
                * erc-cmd-QUIT: use it.
                * erc-part-hook: new hook, run then PART message is
                  processed.
                * erc-cmd-PART: use it.
                * erc-connect-pre-hook: new hook, run before connection to IRC
                  server is started.
                * erc: use it.
                * erc-max-buffer-size: Move truncation variables and functions
                  to erc-truncate.el
                * erc-truncate-buffer-on-save: moved to erc-log.el
                * erc-initialize-log-marker: new function.
        erc-log.el:
                * erc-truncate-buffer-on-save: New defcust here; from erc.el
                * erc-truncate-buffer-on-save: Put it in group `erc-log'
                * erc-log-channels-directory: Remove trailing slash from
                  default value.
                * Add functions to erc-connect-pre-hook, erc-part-hook and
                  erc-quit-hook to avoid getting autoloaded.

        erc-truncate.el:
                * Contains the truncation functions and defcusts from erc.el.
                * define-erc-module clause added; new erc-truncate-mode.

2003-04-29  Jorgen Schaefer  <forcer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.525 (erc):
        Check wether erc-save-buffer-in-logs is bound, too

        * erc.el 1.524 (erc):
        Check wether erc-logging-enabled is bound before using it - not
        everyone is using erc-log.el!

2003-04-28  Andreas Fuchs  <asf@void.at>

        * erc-log.el 1.3:
        * while we're at it, remove the (declare (ignore ignore)) statements.

        * erc-log.el 1.2:
        * add autoload statement for erc-log-mode/etc. Sorry for the delay.

        * erc-log.el 1.1, erc.el 1.523: * erc.el:
                - move variables and functions to erc-log.el:
                         defgroup `erc-log'
                         defcustom `erc-log-channels-directory'
                         defcustom `erc-log-insert-log-on-open'
                         defcustom `erc-generate-log-file-name-function'
                         defun `erc-save-buffer-in-logs' (autoloads from erc-log.el)
                         defuns `erc-generate-log-file-name-*'
                         defun `erc-current-logfile'
                         defun `erc-logging-enabled' (autoloads from erc-log.el)
                - erc-truncate-buffer-to-size: fix for double-saving bug when
                  writing out truncated buffer contents. Thanks, lawrence mitchell <wence@gmx.li>!
                - erc-remove-text-properties-region: Fix case for read-only text.
                - erc-send-current-line: update insert-marker before calling the hooks.
                                         also, wrap (erc-display-prompt) so that it doesn't toggle
                                         buffer-modified-p.
                - erc-interpret-controls: remove /very/ old commented-out function
                - erc-last-saved-position: make it a marker
                - erc: use it.

        * erc-log.el: (thanks, lawrence mitchell <wence@gmx.li>!)
                - Move logging code from erc.el here
                - define-erc-module log: add; minor mode erc-log-mode is the
                  same as adding the `erc-save-buffer-in-logs' to
                  erc-send-post-hook and `erc-insert-post-hook'.
                - erc-w32-invalid-file-characters: add.
                - erc-enable-logging: add.
                - erc-logging-enabled: use it.
                - erc-logging-enabled: autoload.
                - erc-save-buffer-in-logs: fix for truncating saved buffer with read-only text.
                - erc-save-buffer-in-logs: use erc-last-saved-position.
                - erc-save-buffer-in-logs: fix saving half-written messages on
                  the prompt when saving the log file. (simply uses
                  erc-insert-marker as an upper bound for saving).

2003-04-27  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.522: * erc.el 1.522: erc-modules: added 

2003-04-27  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * Makefile 1.15 (UNCOMPILED): Added erc-compat.el.
        (clean): Remove .elc files, too.
        Patch by Hynek Schlawack <hynek+erc@hys.in-berlin.de>

2003-04-22  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-button.el 1.46:
        erc-button-keymap: set the parent keymap to erc-mode-map

2003-04-20  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.521:
        erc-official-location: shouldn't the official location be the base URL of erc?

        * erc.el 1.520:
        erc-modules: updated the docstring to make the semantics clearer

2003-04-19  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.519:
        Fix problem where % in NOTICE produced errors (from mmc)

2003-04-18  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.518 (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol):
        moved a reference to 'buf' inside the let
            statement which defines it. it's difficult to tell what the original
            intentions were here - at the moment the debug window is displayed when
            toggling either way.

        * README 1.3, erc.el 1.517:
        (erc-update-modules: added a condition in for erc-nickserv -> erc-services

        * erc-pcomplete.el 1.19:
        - that change to erc-update-modules making it require the modules first means
          we don't need any special case handling here, so i reverted the previous
          change

        * erc.el 1.516:
        - don't require 'erc-auto, since windows users don't have access to make.
          instead, we handle it in (erc-update-modules)

2003-04-17  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * README 1.2, Makefile 1.14:
        Updated Makefile and documentation to reflect the new release

        * erc.el 1.515:
        - note the previous change also updated the release number to erc 4.0!
        (erc-connect): fix a bug introduced by the previous release

        * erc.el 1.514:
        fixed about 20 instances of (message (format ...)) which will break if the
        format returns a string with %s in it

        * erc.el 1.513: erc-error-face: make it red, not pink

        * erc-pcomplete.el 1.18:
        since pcomplete is autoloaded via erc-completion-mode, and completion is in
        erc-modules by default, we remove completion when pcomplete is added

        * erc.el 1.512 (define-erc-module): no need for delete, use delq

        * erc-members.el 1.5 (erc-nick-channels):
        (erc-person-channels) takes one arg
        (erc-format-user): again, they all take an arg

        * erc.el 1.511:
        - require erc-auto when loading, so the default `erc-modules' can be loaded.
          this makes erc-auto no longer a convenience but a necessity - all the name
          of user friendliness.
        (define-erc-module): the enable and disable routines now update erc-modules
            accordingly
        erc-modules: new variable controllig the modules which erc has loaded/will
            load. when customising, it will automatically enable modules. it won't
            automatically disable modules which are removed, yet.
        (erc-update-modules): enable all modules in `erc-modules'

        * erc-dcc.el 1.67 (erc-dcc-open-network-stream):
        use the -nowait equiv if available
        erc-dcc-server-port: removed
        erc-dcc-port-range: allows a range of values, so you can have more than one
            dcc
        (erc-dcc-server): support erc-dcc-port-range
        (erc-dcc-chat): use OCHAT for outgoing chat for now. we need to fix the
            issues with allowing more than one chat with the same person

        * erc.el 1.510:
        erc-log-channels: removed; set the directory to start logging
        (erc-directory-writeable-p): create directory if it doesn't exist, check if
            it's writeable
        (erc-logging-enabled): don't reference erc-log-channels

2003-04-07  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.509 (erc):
        but when inserting the contents of a previous logfile, use the logfile
            name, not ""!

        * erc.el 1.508 (erc):
        set buffer-file-name to "", since we have a custom saving function and
            it's not needed. this enables one to open a log file with previous
            correspondence, while talking to the person at the same time

2003-03-29  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.507 (erc-prepare-mode-line-format):
        Now strips all text properties from the target before
            putting it in the mode line.  Keeps the mode line looking consistent.
        (erc-channel-p): Improved docstring.

2003-03-28  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc.el 1.506 (erc-generate-log-file-name-with-date): New function.
        (erc-generate-log-file-name-function): Make it available.

2003-03-24  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.505:
        Fix erc-prompt and erc-user-mode custom :type (Closes: #185794)

2003-03-20  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.504:
        erc-server-hook-list: correct documentation of ordering of (proc parsed)

2003-03-16  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc-track.el 1.53 (erc-modified-channels-string):
        Make it a risky-local-variable.

        * erc-track.el 1.52 (erc-track-modified-channels):
        Use (point-min) if we don't find a
        parsed-property, so it won't error out with nil...

2003-03-16  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-track.el 1.51 (erc-track-switch-buffer):
        removed call to erc-modified-channels-update, as
            this is done correctly on buffer switching in both emacs and xemacs now

2003-03-15  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc-track.el 1.50 (erc-find-parsed-property):
        simplified a little, so it shouldn't return nil anymore

        * erc.el 1.503: erc-send-post-hook: document narrowing which occurs

2003-03-14  Alex Schroeder  <alex@gnu.org>

        * erc-track.el 1.49 (erc-find-parsed-property): New function.
        (erc-track-modified-channels): Use it instead of relying on
        point-min.

2003-03-12  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc.el 1.502:
        Fix erc-set-topic to accept a channel name as first word

2003-03-11  Jorgen Schaefer  <forcer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-dcc.el 1.66:
        Small patch (<10 lines, also slightly modified by Jorgen SchÀfer) from
        David Spreen <netzwurm@debian.org> to add hostmask-authentication to
        DCC auto-accept.

        erc-dcc-auto-mask-list: New variable
        (erc-dcc-handle-ctcp-send): Check erc-dcc-auto-mask-list
        (erc-dcc-auto-mask-p): New function
        erc-dcc-send-request: Docstring now mentions erc-dcc-auto-mask-list

2003-03-10  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-ring.el 1.11 (erc-clear-input-ring):
        New function.  Erases the contents of the input ring for
           the current ERC buffer.

2003-03-08  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.501:
        (erc-display-line-1) and (erc-send-current-line): Now these functions reset erc-insert-this
            to t as soon as possible after consuming the value of that variable.  See the comments in
            the code for the strange symptom this fixes.
        (erc-bol): Changed to call point-at-eol instead of line-end-position.  This increases XEmacs
            portability, since XEmacs doesn't have line-end-position.  Patch suggested by Scott Evans
            on the ERC mailing list.

2003-03-04  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.500: banlist*: patch from mrbump to avoid using cl packages

2003-03-04  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.499:
        Changed erc-noncommands-list from a constant to variable, so that users can
            add their own erc-cmd-* functions to the list.  Improved the docstring too.

2003-03-02  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.498 (erc-server-353):
        Now the output of "/NAMES #channel" appears in the currently
            active ERC buffer, even if the user is not a member of #channel.

        * erc.el 1.497 (erc-cmd-DEOP):
        Fixed a syntax error: invalid read syntax ")" caused by my last change.

2003-03-01  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.496 (erc-cmd-DEOP):
        Fixed a wrong-type-argument error caused by calling split-string
            on a list instead of on a string.  Removed the call to split-string entirely,
            because it wasn't needed.

        * erc.el 1.495 (erc-cmd-HELP):
        Changed to use intern-soft instead of intern.  Now "/HELP floob"
            doesn't create a void function symbol erc-cmd-FLOOB.

2003-02-25  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.494 (erc-cmd-SERVER):
        remove erroneous references to line, use server instead

2003-02-23  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.493 (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol):
        Fixed a bug where the global value of
            kill-buffer-hook was being modified instead of the buffer-local value.

2003-02-22  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.492 (erc-cmd-KICK):
        Now supports any number of words in the REASON string.  Examples
            of the /KICK command are:
              /KICK franl You don't belong here
              /KICK franl Bye
              /KICK franl
              /KICK #channel franl Go away now
              /KICK #channel franl Bye
              /KICK #channel franl

2003-02-16  Jorgen Schaefer  <forcer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc-stamp.el 1.29 (erc-insert-timestamp-right):
        Make the timestamp rear-nonsticky, so
        C-e works at the beginning of the next line.

2003-02-16  Andreas Fuchs  <asf@void.at>

        * erc-stamp.el 1.28:
        * s/choose/choice/ in customize options, as kensanata requested.

2003-02-15  Francis Litterio  <franl@users.sourceforge.net>

        * erc.el 1.491 (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol):
        Now if the *erc-protocol* buffer is killed,
            logging is turned off.  Prior to this change, the buffer would come back
            into existence (generally unbeknownst to the user) after being killed.

2003-02-11  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.490 (erc-send-current-line):
        we can't inhibit everything here when not connected,
            as the user will expect commands like /server still to work. the
            erc-cmd-handler should recover from errors instead

2003-02-10  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.489:
        * we now run erc-after-connect on 422 (no motd) messages as well as the motd
          messages
        (erc-login): revert the previous change

        * erc.el 1.488 (erc-login): register that we're connected

2003-02-10  Mario Lang  <mlang@delysid.org>

        * erc-members.el 1.4: * Provide erc-members
        * Fix excessive )
        * Comment out broken self-tests

2003-02-07  Damien Elmes  <erc@repose.cx>

        * erc.el 1.487 (erc-connect):
        notify the user we're trying to connect when using asych
            connections

        * erc.el 1.486 (erc-connect): support an asyncronous connection
        (erc-process-sentinel): ditto

        * erc-track.el 1.48:
        * advise switch-to-buffer in the case of xemacs, since it doesn't have
          window-configuration-change-hook

        * erc.el 1.485 (erc-send-current-line):
        if not connected, refuse to send either a message or
            a command

        * erc.el 1.484: (erc-save-buffer-in-logs):
            - check for a sensibile region before saving the buffer. if the
              connection process is killed early on, there is not a sensible region
              to save
            - don't set buffer-file-name on save. we don't need it, and it means we
              can now find-file a log while an existing query is open with that
              user

        * erc.el 1.483 (erc-process-input-line):
        when displaying the help for a function, if no
            documentation exists, don't fall over
        (erc-cmd-SAY): new function for quoting lines begining with /
        (erc-server-NICK):
            - fix a bug where the "is now known as" message doesn't appear on newly
              created /query buffers
            - when a user changes
