7 History

ERC was originally written by Alexander L. Belikoff and Sergey Berezin. They stopped development around December 1999. Their last released version was ERC 2.0.

P.S.: If one of the original developers of ERC reads this, we’d like to receive additional information for this file and hear comments in general.

Official IRC channels

The official channels for GNU Emacs and ERC lived on the Freenode IRC network until June 2021, when they—along with the official IRC channels of the GNU Project, the Free Software Foundation, and many other free software communities—relocated to the Libera.Chat network in the aftermath of changes in governance and policies of Freenode in May and June 2021. GNU and FSF’s announcements about this are at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00005.html, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00007.html, and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2021-06/msg00000.html.
