+2007-12-16  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-alist): Removed autodetect regexp,
+        added identified regexp for OFTC.
+        (erc-nickserv-identification-autodetect): Make sure success-regex
+        is non-nil.
+        (erc-nickserv-identify-autodetect): Make sure identify-regex is
+        non-nil.  Doc fix.
+2007-12-13  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-backend.el (PRIVMSG, QUIT, TOPIC, WALLOPS, 376, 004, 221)
+        (312, 315, 319, 330, 331, 333, 367, 368, 391, 405, 406, 412)
+        (421, 432, 433, 437, 442, 461, 474, 477, 482, 431): Doc fix.
+2007-12-09  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-alist): Fix regexps for GRnet.
+2007-12-09  Giorgos Keramidas  <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr>  (tiny change)
+        * erc-backend.el, erc.el:
+        Parse 275 (secure connection) responses.
+        * erc-services.el: Add identification hooks for GRnet, the Greek
+        IRC network <http://www.irc.gr>.
+2007-12-08  David Kastrup  <dak@gnu.org>
+        * erc-stamp.el (erc-echo-timestamp):
+        * erc-lang.el (language):
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-connect): Fix buggy call to `message'.
+2007-12-07  Edward O'Connor  <ted@oconnor.cx>
+        * erc-services.el: Provide a hook that runs when nickserv confirms
+        that the user has successfully identified.
+        (services, erc-nickserv-identify-mode): Add and remove
+        erc-nickserv-identification-autodetect from
+        erc-server-NOTICE-functions.
+        (erc-nickserv-alist): Add SUCCESS-REGEXP to each entry.
+        (erc-nickserv-alist-identified-regexp)
+        (erc-nickserv-identification-autodetect): New functions.
+        (erc-nickserv-identified-hook): New hook.
+2007-12-06  D. Goel  <deego3@gmail.com>
+        * erc-match.el (erc-add-entry-to-list): Fix buggy call to `error'.
+2007-12-01  Glenn Morris  <rgm@gnu.org>
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-send-ping): Move after definition of
+        erc-server-send.
+2007-11-29  Giorgos Keramidas  <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr>  (tiny change)
+        * erc-backend.el, erc.el:
+        Parse 307 (nick has identified) responses.
+2007-11-15  Juanma Barranquero  <lekktu@gmail.com>
+        * erc.el (erc-open):
+        * erc-backend.el (define-erc-response-handler):
+        * erc-log.el (log):
+        * erc-match.el (erc-log-matches): Fix typos in docstrings.
+2007-11-11  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-autoaway.el (erc-autoaway-possibly-set-away):
+        * erc-netsplit.el (erc-netsplit-timer):
+        * erc-notify.el (erc-notify-timer):
+        * erc-track.el (erc-user-is-active): Only run if we have
+        successfully established a connection to the server and have
+        logged in.  I suspect that sending messages too soon may make some
+        IRC servers not respond well, particularly when the network
+        connection is iffy or subject to traffic-shaping.
+2007-11-01  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-compat.el (erc-set-write-file-functions): New compatibility
+        function to set the write hooks appropriately.
+        * erc-log.el (erc-log-setup-logging): Use
+        erc-set-write-file-functions.  This fixes a byte-compiler warning.
+        * erc-stamp.el: Silence byte-compiler warning about
+        erc-fill-column.
+        * erc.el (erc-with-all-buffers-of-server): Bind the result of
+        mapcar to a variable in order to silence a byte-compiler warning.
+2007-10-29  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-ibuffer.el (erc-modified-channels-alist): Use
+        eval-when-compile, and explain why we are doing this.
+2007-10-25  Dan Nicolaescu  <dann@ics.uci.edu>
+        * erc-ibuffer.el (erc-modified-channels-alist): Pacify
+        byte-compiler.
+2007-10-13  Glenn Morris  <rgm@gnu.org>
+        * erc-track.el (erc-modified-channels-update): Use mapc rather
+        than mapcar.
+2007-10-12  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc.el (erc-join-channel): Prompt for channel key if C-u or
+        another prefix-arg was typed.
+        * NEWS: Noted this change.
+2007-10-07  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-cmd-ME'S): New command that handles the case where
+        someone types "/me's".  It concatenates the text " 's" to the
+        beginning of the input and then sends the result like a normal
+        "/me" command.
+        (erc-command-regexp): Permit single-quote character.
+2007-09-30  Aidan Kehoe  <kehoea@parhasard.net>  (tiny change)
+        * erc-log.el (erc-save-buffer-in-logs): Prevent spurious warnings
+        when looking at a log file and concurrently saving to it.
+2007-09-18  Exal de Jesus Garcia Carrillo  <exal@gnu.org>  (tiny change)
+        * erc.texi (Special-Features): Fix small typo.
+2007-09-16  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-track.el (erc-track-switch-direction): Mention
+        erc-track-faces-priority-list.  Thanks to Leo for the suggestion.
+2007-09-11  Exal de Jesus Garcia Carrillo  <exal@gnu.org>  (tiny change)
+        * erc-sound.el: Fix typo in setting up instructions.
+2007-09-10  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * Makefile (elpa): Copy dir template rather than echoing a few
+        lines.  The reason for this is that the ELPA package for ERC was
+        getting a corrupt dir entry.
+        * dir-template: Template for the ELPA dir file.
+2007-09-08  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-log.el (erc-log-filter-function): New option that specifies
+        the function to call for filtering text before writing it to a log
+        file.  Thanks to David O'Toole for the suggestion.
+        (erc-save-buffer-in-logs): Use erc-log-filter-function.  Make sure
+        we carry along the value of coding-system-for-write, because this
+        could potentially be shadowed by the temporary buffer.
+        * erc.el (erc-version-string): Update to 5.3, development version.
+2007-09-07  Glenn Morris  <rgm@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Fix call to
+        erc-view-mode-enter.
+2007-08-08  Glenn Morris  <rgm@gnu.org>
+        * erc-log.el, erc.el: Replace `iff' in doc-strings and comments.
+2007-09-03  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-default-port): Make this an integer value rather
+        than a string.  Thanks to Luca Capello for the report.
+2007-08-27  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-cmd-GQUIT): If erc-kill-queries-on-quit is non-nil,
+        kill all query buffers after 4 seconds.
+2007-08-16  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * NEWS: Add ERC 5.3 changes section, and mention jbms' erc-track
+        compatibility note.
+        * erc-track.el (erc-track-list-changed-hook): Turn this into a
+        customizable option.
+        (erc-track-switch-direction): Add 'importance option.
+        (erc-modified-channels-display): If erc-track-switch-direction is
+        'importance, call erc-track-sort-by-importance.
+        (erc-track-face-priority): New function that returns a number
+        indicating the position of a face in erc-track-faces-priority-list.
+        (erc-track-sort-by-importance): New function that sorts
+        erc-modified-channels-list according to erc-track-face-priority.
+        (erc-track-get-active-buffer): Make 'oldest a rough opposite of
+        'importance.
+2007-08-14  Jeremy Maitin-Shepard  <jbms@cmu.edu>
+        * erc-track.el (erc-track-remove-disconnected-buffers): New
+        variable which controls whether buffers associated with a server
+        that is disconnected should be removed from
+        `erc-modified-channels-alist'.  Existing behavior is to
+        unconditionally remove such buffers, which is achieved by setting
+        `erc-track-removed-disconnected-buffers' to t.  When set to t,
+        which is the new default value, such buffers remain in the list,
+        which I think is often the desired behavior, since the user may
+        likely wish to find out about activity that occurred in a channel
+        prior to it being disconnected.
+        (erc-track-list-changed-hook): New hook that is run whenever the
+        contents of `erc-modified-channels-alist' changes; it is useful
+        for users such as myself that don't use the default mode-line
+        notification but instead use a separate mechanism (which is tied
+        to my window manager) to provide notification of channel activity.
+        (erc-track-get-buffer-window): New function that acts as a wrapper
+        around `get-buffer-window' that handles the `selected-visible'
+        option of `erc-track-visibility'; previously, the value of
+        `erc-track-visibility' was passed directly to `get-buffer-window',
+        which does not support `selected-visible'; consequently,
+        `selected-visible' was not properly supported.
+        (erc-track-modified-channels): Fix a bug in the logic for removing
+        buffers from the list in certain cases.
+        (erc-track-position-in-mode-line): Add a supported value that
+        specifies that the tracking information should not be added to the
+        mode line at all.  The value of nil is used to indicate that the
+        information should not be added at all to the mode line.
+        (erc-track-add-to-mode-line): Check for position eq to t, rather
+        than non-nil.
+        (erc-buffer-visible): Use erc-track-get-buffer-window.
+        (erc-modified-channels-update): Take
+        erc-track-remove-disconnected-buffers into account.
+        (erc-modified-channels-display): Run `erc-track-list-changed-hook'.
+        * erc.el (erc-reuse-frames): New option that determines whether
+        new frames are always created.  Defaults to t.  This only has an
+        effect when erc-join-buffer is set to 'frame.
+        (erc-setup-buffer): Use it.
+2007-08-14  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-reconnect): If the server buffer has
+        been killed, use the current buffer instead.  If the current
+        buffer is not an ERC buffer, give an error.  This fixes a bug when
+        /reconnect is run from a channel buffer whose server buffer has
+        been deleted.  Thanks to jbms for the report.
+        (erc-process-sentinel-1): Take server buffer as an argument, so
+        that we can make sure that it is current.
+        (erc-process-sentinel): Pass buffer to erc-process-sentinel-1.
+        (erc-process-sentinel-2): New function split from
+        erc-process-sentinel-1.  If server buffer is deleted during a
+        reconnect attempt, stop trying to reconnect.  Fix bug where
+        reconnect was not happening when erc-server-reconnect-attempts was
+        t.  Call erc-server-reconnect-p only once each time.  If we are
+        instructed to try connecting indefinitely, tell the user that they
+        can stop this by killing the server buffer.  Call the process
+        sentinel by means of run-at-time, so that there is time to kill
+        the buffer if need be; this also removes the need for a while
+        loop.  Refuse to reconnect again if erc-server-reconnect-timeout
+        is not an number.
+        * erc.el (erc-command-no-process-p): Fix bug: the return value of
+        erc-extract-command-from-line is a list rather than a single
+        symbol.  Thanks to jbms for the report.
+        (erc-cmd-RECONNECT): Use simpler logic, and use buffer-live-p
+        rather than bufferp.
+        (erc-send-current-line, erc-display-command, erc-display-msg):
+        Handle case where erc-server-process is nil, so that /reconnect
+        works.
+2007-08-12  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-identd.el (erc-identd-filter): Instead of sending an EOF
+        character, which now confuses freenode, stop the server process,
+        so that no new connections are accepted, and kill the current
+        client process.
+2007-07-29  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-list.el: Relicense to GPLv3.  Since the file was already
+        licensed under version 2 or later, it turns out that we do not
+        need the permission of all of the authors in order to proceed.
+2007-07-13  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-goodies.el (erc-get-bg-color-face, erc-get-fg-color-face):
+        Use erc-error rather than message and beep.
+        * erc-sound.el: Indentation fix.
+        * erc.el (erc-command-no-process-p): New function that determines
+        if its argument is an ERC command that can be run when the server
+        process is not alive.
+        (erc-cmd-SET, erc-cmd-CLEAR, erc-cmd-COUNTRY, erc-cmd-HELP)
+        (erc-cmd-LASTLOG, erc-cmd-QUIT, erc-cmd-GQUIT)
+        (erc-cmd-RECONNECT, erc-cmd-SERVER): Denote that these commands
+        can be run even when the server process is not alive.
+        (erc-send-current-line): Call erc-command-no-process-p if the
+        server process is not alive, to determine if we have a command
+        that can be run anyway.  Thanks to Tom Tromey for the bug report.
+        (erc-error): New function that either displays a message or throws
+        an error, depending on whether debug-on-error is non-nil.
+        (erc-cmd-SERVER, erc-send-current-line): Use it.
+2007-07-10  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * Relicense all FSF-assigned code to GPLv3.
+2007-06-25  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.texi (Options): Fix typo.
+        (Getting Help and Reporting Bugs): Update webpage URL.  Make Gmane
+        part more readable.
+2007-06-20  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-stamp.el (erc-timestamp-format-left): New option that
+        specifies the left timestamp to use for
+        erc-insert-timestamp-left-and-right.
+        (erc-timestamp-format-right): New option that specifies the right
+        timestamp to use for erc-insert-timestamp-left-and-right.
+        (erc-insert-timestamp-function): Change default to
+        erc-insert-timestamp-left-and-right.
+        (erc-insert-away-timestamp-function): Ditto.
+        (erc-timestamp-last-inserted-left)
+        (erc-timestamp-last-inserted-right): New variables to keep track
+        of data for erc-insert-timestamp-left-and-right.
+        (erc-insert-timestamp-left-and-right): New function that places
+        timestamps on both the left and right sides of the screen, but
+        only if each timestamp has changed since it was last computed.
+        Thanks to offby1 for urging me to merge this.
+        * erc.el (erc-open-ssl-stream): Display informative error when
+        ssl.el not found.
+        (erc-tls): New function to connect using tls.el.
+        (erc-open-tls-stream): New function to initiate tls connection.
+        Display informative error when tls.el not found.
+2007-06-19  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-log.el: Update header with accurate instructions.
+2007-06-17  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-pkg.el: Update description to match what is currently in ELPA.
+2007-06-14  Juanma Barranquero  <lekktu@gmail.com>
+        * erc-goodies.el (erc-scroll-to-bottom): Remove redundant check.
+2007-06-13  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-compat.el (erc-with-selected-window): New compatibility
+        macro that implements `with-selected-window'.
+        * erc-goodies.el (erc-scroll-to-bottom): Use it.  This fixes a bug
+        with buffer ordering where ERC buffers would move to the top.
+        Thanks to Ivan Kanis for the patch.
+2007-06-10  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-log.el (erc-logging-enabled): Fix a bug that occurred when
+        `erc-log-channels-directory' had the name of a function.
+2007-06-06  Juanma Barranquero  <lekktu@gmail.com>
+        * erc.el (erc-show-channel-key-p, erc-startup-file-list):
+        Fix typo in docstring.
+2007-06-03  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-compat.el (erc-view-mode-enter): Make this its own function,
+        in order to document what we do, and provide sane fallback
+        behavior.
+        * erc.el (erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Don't pass any arguments
+        to erc-view-mode-enter, since we don't do anything special with
+        the exit function.  This fixes a bug with Emacs 21 and Emacs 22.
+        Thanks to Leo for noticing.
+2007-05-30  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-compat.el (erc-user-emacs-directory): New variable that
+        determines where to find user-specific Emacs settings.  For Emacs,
+        this is usually ~/.emacs.d, and for XEmacs this is usually
+        ~/.xemacs.
+        * erc.el (erc-startup-file-list): Use erc-user-emacs-directory.
+2007-05-28  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-button.el (erc-button-url-regexp): Recognize parentheses as
+        part of URLs.  Thanks to Lawrence Mitchell for the fix.
+2007-05-26  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.texi (Modules): Fix references to completion modules.
+2007-05-21  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * Makefile (SOURCE): Remove erc-pkg.el.
+        (debclean): New rule to clean old Debian packages of ERC.
+        (debprepare): Don't modify the released tarball, but copy it as
+        the .orig.tar.gz file.
+        (debrelease, debrevision): Remove.
+        (debinstall): New target that copies the generated Debian file to
+        a distro-specific location.
+        (deb): New rule that chains together the stages in building a
+        Debian package.
+        (EXTRAS): Add erc-nicklist.el, since it is not release-quality.
+        (extras): Copy images directory.
+        * erc-nicklist.el (erc-nicklist-icons-directory): Use
+        locate-library to find the "images" directory.  This should be
+        more failsafe.  Thanks to Tom Tromey for the idea.
+2007-05-19  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * Makefile (ELPA): New variable that contains the location of my
+        local ELPA repository.
+        (elpa): New rule that makes an ELPA package for ERC.
+2007-04-19  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-parse-prefix): New function that retrieves the
+        PREFIX server parameter from the current server and returns an
+        alist of prefix type to prefix character.
+        (erc-channel-receive-names): Use `erc-parse-prefix' to determine
+        whether the first character of a nick is a prefix character or
+        not.  This should fix a bug reported by bromine about needing to
+        type "%" first to complete nicks of people who are "hops" on
+        Slashnet.  This should also support for very exotic IRC server
+        setups, if any exist.
+        (erc-update-current-channel-member): Indentation.
+2007-04-15  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-log.el (erc-generate-log-file-name-function): Docfix.
+        Mention how to deal with the case for putting log files in
+        different directories.  Change a customization type from `symbol'
+        to `function'.
+        (erc-log-channels-directory): Allow this to contain a function
+        name, which is called with the same args as in
+        `erc-generate-log-file-name-function'.  Thanks to andrewy for the
+        report and use case.
+        (erc-current-logfile): Detect if `erc-log-channels-directory' is a
+        function and call it with arguments if so.
+2007-04-12  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-backend.el (define-erc-response-handler): Mention that hook
+        processing stops when the function returns non-nil.  This should
+        help avoid a nasty "gotcha" when making custom functions.  Thanks
+        to John Sullivan for the report.
+2007-04-08  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-nicklist.el (erc-nicklist-voiced-position): Fixed

+        extras" tarball.

+        (extras): New rule which implements the building of the extras
+        tarball.
+        (upload-extras): New rule to upload the extras tarball.  It's

+        (debrelease, debrevision): Use it.

+        * NEWS: Mention extras tarball.  Note which files have been
+        renamed.  Note that erc-list is enabled by default, except in
+        Emacs 22.
+        * README.extras: New file which serves as a README for the extras
+        tarball.

+        * FOR-RELEASE: Finish up 5.2 manual item.  Add documentation item
+        for 5.3.

+        (Modules): Defer to 5.3 release.
+        (Advanced Usage): Move Sample Configuration chapter ahead of
+        unfinished chapters.
+        (Sample Configuration): Write.
+        (Options): Mention how to see available ERC options.  Defer to 5.3
+        release.
+        (Tips and Tricks): Remove, since it seems better to just include
+        tips and tricks in the sample configuration, commented out.
+        * erc-bbdb.el (erc-bbdb-search-name-and-create): Make prompt more
+        informative about how to skip merging.
+        (erc-bbdb-insinuate-and-show-entry-1): Move contents of
+        erc-bbdb-insinuate-and-show-entry here.
+        (erc-bbdb-insinuate-and-show-entry): Run
+        erc-bbdb-insinuate-and-show-entry-1 "outside" of the calling
+        function, so that we can avoid triggering a process-filter error
+        if the user hits C-g.
+2007-03-30  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * FOR-RELEASE: Solve C-c C-SPC keybinding dilemma.
+        * erc-autoaway.el (erc-autoaway-idle-method): Use `if' rather than

+        during compilation.
+        (erc-generate-log-file-name-function): Add tag to each option.
+        Add erc-generate-log-file-name-network.
+        (erc-generate-log-file-name-network): New function which generates
+        a log file name that uses network name rather than server name,
+        when possible.
+        * erc-track.el (track): Assimilate track-when-inactive module,
+        since there's no need to have two modules in one file -- an option
+        will do.  Remove track-modified-channels alias.  Call
+        erc-track-minor-mode-maybe, and tear down the minor mode when
+        disabling.
+        (erc-track-when-inactive): New option which determines whether to
+        track visible buffers when inactive.  The default is not to do so.

+        (erc-track-enable-keybindings): New option which determines

+        default is to do so, unless they would override another binding,
+        in which case we prompt the user about it.
+        (erc-track-minor-mode-map): Move global keybindings here.
+        (erc-track-minor-mode): New minor mode which only enables the
+        keybindings and does nothing else.
+        (erc-track-minor-mode-maybe): New function which starts
+        erc-track-minor-mode, but only if it hasn't already been started,
+        an ERC buffer exists, and the user OK's it, depending on the value
+        of `erc-track-enable-keybindings'.
+        (erc-track-switch-buffer): Display a message if someone calls this
+        without first enabling erc-track-mode.
+2007-03-17  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.texi (Development): Mention ErcDevelopment page on
+        emacswiki.
+        (Getting Started): Mention ~/.emacs.d/.ercrc.el and the Customize
+        interface.
+        (Sample Session): New section that has a very rough draft for a
+        sample ERC session.
+        (Special Features): New section that explains some of the special
+        features of ERC.  Taken from ErcFeatures on emacswiki, with
+        enhancements.
+2007-03-12  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-autoaway.el (erc-autoaway-idle-method): When setting the new
+        value, disable and re-enable `erc-autoaway-mode' only if it was
+        already enabled.  This fixes a bug where autoaway was enabled just
+        by loading the file.
+2007-03-10  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-capab.el: Added more information to the Usage section.
+        (erc-capab-identify-prefix): Doc fix.
+        (erc-capab-identify-unidentified): New face.

+        (erc-capab-identify-send-messages): Renamed from
+        `erc-capab-send-identify-messages'.
+        (erc-capab-identify-setup): Use it.
+        (erc-capab-identify-get-unidentified-nickname): Renamed from
+        `erc-capab-get-unidentified-nickname'.
+        (erc-capab-identify-add-prefix): Use it.  Use
+        `erc-capab-identify-unidentified' as the face.
+        * erc-backend.el (290): Moved here from erc-capab.el.
+        * erc.el (erc-select): Added an autoload cookie.
+        (erc-message-type-member, erc-restore-text-properties): Use
+        `erc-get-parsed-vector'.
+        (erc-auto-query): Set the default to 'bury since many new users
+        expect private messages from others to be in dedicated query
+        buffers, not the server buffer.
+        (erc-common-server-suffixes): Use "freenode" for freenode.net, not
+        "OPN".  Added oftc.net.
+        * NEWS: Added note about erc-auto-query's new default setting.
+2007-03-03  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-open, erc): Docfixes.
+2007-03-02  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * FOR-RELEASE: Make section for 5.3 release and move erc-backend
+        cleanup there.  Awaiting discussion before doing other things.
+        Add tasks for merging filename changes from the 5.2 release
+        branch, and for making a tarball of modules not in Emacs 22.  Add
+        item to remind me to update NEWS.  Mark backtab entry as done.
+        * erc-button.el (button): Add call to `erc-button-add-keys'.
+        (erc-button-keys-added): New variable tracking whether we've added
+        the keys yet.
+        (erc-button-add-keys): New function that adds the <backtab> key to
+        erc-mode-map.
+        * erc.texi: Change version to 5.2 (pre-release).
+2007-02-15  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * CREDITS: Update.
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-send-ping-interval): Change to use a
+        default of 30 seconds.  Improve customize interface.
+        (erc-server-send-ping-timeout): New option that determines when to
+        consider a connection stalled and restart it.  The default is
+        after 120 seconds.
+        (erc-server-send-ping): Use erc-server-send-ping-timeout instead
+        of erc-server-send-ping-interval.  If
+        erc-server-send-ping-timeout is nil, do not ever kill and restart
+        a hung IRC process.
+        * erc.el (erc-modules): Include the name of the module in its
+        description.  This should make it easier for people to find and
+        enable a particular module.
+2007-02-15  Vivek Dasmohapatra  <vivek@etla.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-cmd-RECONNECT): Kill old process if it is still
+        alive.
+        (erc-message-english-PART): Properly escape "%" characters in
+        reason.
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-reconnecting): New variable that is
+        set when the user requests a reconnect, but the old process is
+        still alive.  This forces the reconnect to work even though the
+        process is killed manually during reconnect.
+        (erc-server-connect): Initialize it.
+        (erc-server-reconnect-p): Use it.
+        (erc-process-sentinel-1): Set it to nil after the first reconnect
+        attempt.
+2007-02-07  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-menu.el (erc-menu-definition): Fixed so that the separator
+        is between "Current channel" and "Pals, fools and other keywords",
+        not at the bottom of the "Current channel" submenu.
+2007-01-25  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-networks.el (erc-server-alist): Removed SSL server for now
+        since `erc-server-select' doesn't know to use `erc-ssl'.
+        * erc-networks.el (erc-server-alist, erc-networks-alist): Added
+        definitions for oftc.net.
+        * erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-alist): Fixed OFTC message regexp.
+2007-01-22  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-backend.el (erc-server-error-occurred): New variable that
+        indicates when an error has been signaled by the server.  This
+        should fix an infinite reconnect bug when giving some servers a
+        bogus :full-name.  Thanks to Angelina Carlton for the report.
+        (erc-server-connect): Initialize erc-server-error-occurred.
+        (erc-server-reconnect-p): Use it.
+        (ERROR): Set it.
+        * erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-alist): Alphabetize and add Ars
+        and QuakeNet.  Standardize look of entries.  Fix type mismatch
+        error in customize interface.
+        (erc-nickserv-passwords): Alphabetize and add missing entries from
+        erc-nickserv-alist.
+2007-01-21  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-header-line-format): Document how to disable the
+        header line, and add a customization type for it.  Also, make the
+        changes take effect immediately.
+2007-01-19  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.texi (Modules): Document new menu module.  Thanks to Leo
+        for noticing.
+2007-01-16  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc-stamp.el (erc-insert-timestamp-left): Fixed so that the
+        whitespace string filler is hidden correctly when timestamps are
+        hidden.
+        (erc-toggle-timestamps): New function to use instead of
+        `erc-show-timestamps' and `erc-hide-timestamps'.
+        * erc.el (erc-restore-text-properties): Moved here from
+        erc-fill.el since it could be useful in general.
+        * erc-fill.el (erc-restore-text-properties): Removed.
+2007-01-13  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-command-regexp): New variable that is used to match
+        a command.
+        (erc-send-input): Use it.  This fixes a bug where paths --
+        "/usr/bin/foo", for example -- were being displayed as commands,
+        but still sent correctly.
+        (erc-extract-command-from-line): Use it.
+        * erc.texi (Modules): Document erc-capab-identify.
+2007-01-11  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc.el (erc-find-parsed-property): Moved here from erc-track.el
+        since it can be useful in general.
+        * erc-track.el (erc-find-parsed-property): Removed.
+        * erc-capab.el (erc-capab-find-parsed): Removed.
+        (erc-capab-identify-add-prefix): Use `erc-find-parsed-property'.
+        * erc.el (erc-open): Run `erc-before-connect' hook here.  This
+        makes sure the hook always gets called before a connection is
+        made, as some functions, like `erc-handle-irc-url', use `erc-open'
+        instead of `erc'.
+        (erc): Removed `erc-before-connect' hook.
+        * erc-menu.el (erc-menu-definition): Put items specific to
+        channels in a "Current channel" submenu.
+        * erc-backend.el (321, 323): Display channel list in server buffer
+        when not using the channel list module.
+        * erc.el: Updated copyright years.
+        (erc-version-string): Set to 5.2 (devel).
+        (erc-format-lag-time): Fixed to work when `erc-server-lag' is nil.
+        (erc-update-mode-line-buffer): Set the header face.
+2007-01-11  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc-bbdb.el (erc-bbdb-popup-type): Fix customization type and
+        documentation.
+        * erc-services.el (erc-nickserv-identify-mode): Improve
+        documentation for nick-change option and move higher to fix
+        compiler warning.  Avoid a recursive load error.
+        (erc-nickserv-alist): Add simple entry for BitlBee, to avoid
+        "NickServ is AWAY: User is offline" error.  Oddly enough, bitlbee
+        was smart enough to recognize that as an authentication request
+        and log in regardless, which is why I didn't notice this earlier.
+        (erc-nickserv-alist-sender, erc-nickserv-alist-regexp)
+        (erc-nickserv-alist-nickserv, erc-nickserv-alist-ident-keyword)
+        (erc-nickserv-alist-use-nick-p)
+        (erc-nickserv-alist-ident-command): New accessors for
+        erc-nickserv-alist.  Using nth is unwieldy.
+        (erc-nickserv-identify-autodetect)
+        (erc-nickserv-identify-on-connect)
+        (erc-nickserv-identify-on-nick-change, erc-nickserv-identify): Use
+        the new accessors.
+2007-01-11  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * NEWS: Added note for `erc-my-nick-face'.  Fixed capab-identify
+        wording.
+2007-01-10  Diane Murray  <disumu@x3y2z1.net>
+        * erc.el (erc-mode-line-format): Added %l to documentation.
+        (erc-header-line-format): Removed "[IRC]".  Use the new %l
+        replacement character.  Doc fix.
+        (erc-format-channel-modes): Removed lag code.  Removed parentheses
+        from mode string.
+        (erc-format-lag-time): New function.
+        (erc-update-mode-line-buffer): Use it.
+2007-01-10  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el: Fix typo in url-irc-function instructions.
+2007-01-09  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-system-name): New option that determines the system
+        name to use when logging in.  The default is to figure this out by
+        calling `system-name'.
+        (erc-login): Use it.
+2007-01-07  Michael Olson  <mwolson@gnu.org>
+        * erc.el (erc-modules): Add the menu module.  This should fix a
+        bug with incorrect ERC submenus being displayed.
+        * erc-menu.el: Turn this into a module.
+        (erc-menu-add, erc-menu-remove): New functions that add and remove
+        the ERC menu.
