Bell) -TD +* add PREFERRED_CONTENT_TYPE defaulting to text/plain and options-menu to + replace an assumption in HTMIMEConvert that everything is text/html. + Since most servers provide a valid

For testing, a shell + script using w3m's utility, e.g., /usr/lib/w3m/inflate, sufficed. + NOTE: As currently implemented, lynx requires the external decompression + programs to be specified even if it can decompress using library calls. + + use ".zz" for suffix of downloaded (but not inflated) deflated files, + mapped to application/deflate and application/x-deflate. +* fix LYSetConfigValue(), which did not properly handle the CONF_PRG case which + is used to allow user configuring the program paths -TD +* fix content_is_compressed() function, which was checking for the absence only + of some nonstandard encodings (8bit, 7bit, binary) rather than for the + presence of the encodings as specified in RFC 2068 (gzip, compress, etc). + This makes lynx able to view a site + which puts the charset as the Content-Type (report by FLWM) -TD +* fix configure script: top-level makefile uses $(TAR), which was not defined + if --without-dired option was used (report by Gabor Z Papp) -TD + +2004-10-10 (2.8.6dev.6) +* highlight the target and pause for 20 milliseconds when selecting a link with + the mouse -GV +* improve layout of options-menu and info-page for multibyte character sets by + computing the extent of the labels. This works only for wide-character + curses (this addresses part of Debian #240069) -TD +* improve check in LYstartPopup() for case where a window would be created too + far right to be entirely visible. ncurses changes in 20040417 to allow + windows to extend beyond the terminal limits exposed this problem (which may + have occurred with other versions of curses). Older versions of ncurses + would return an error in this case (forcing lynx to do the proper layout), + obscuring the actual problem. Noticed that the same problem applies to slang + configuration, and applied a comparable fix there too -TD +* modify HTConfirmCookie() to ensure the translator's note is copied into the + lynx.pot file, by adding a gettext("Y/N/A/V") call after the comment -TD +* remove references in makefile.in to the "intl" subdirectory since that is no + longer packaged with lynx -TD +* modify column limits, allowing text to be written to the last column on the + screen.

Before this change, the charset was not stripped + from the format string, e.g., + text/html; charset=big5 + and since there would be no match for the format, lynx would offer to simply + download the page (if interactive), or refuse to format (for dumps). + Although the content of the page is unusable, the user can still navigate + the page using the links which may be there (Debian #254603) -TD +* add -nonumbers option, which modifies the output of -dump to suppress the + link-numbering (Debian #255571) -TD +* add -listonly option, which modifies the output of -dump to show only the + list of links (Debian #255571) -TD +* modify treatment of symbolic links for ftp-URLs to show the link target, as + with the local directory editor -TD +* correct sort-order of local directory listing, using the target of a symbolic + link to determine whether it is grouped with files or directories (adapted + from patch by Kees Cook) -TD +* modify template for temporary-directory name, adding "lynx" prefix (Debian + #267356) -TD +* fixes for configure script macros used for --enable-nls when --srcdir is + used (from bug report for dialog by Mike Castle) -TD +* improve configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that _POSIX_C_SOURCE + is defined with a value (comment on comp.sys.stratus newsgroup) -TD +* reduce TRST_MAXROWSPAN and TRST_MAXCOLSPAN to 200, which is more plausible + than 10000 by 1000 (discussion on lynx-dev related to report by Edgard + Pineda) -TD +* modify LYShowInfo.c to entify most strings, and provide for alignment of + fields in different locales -TD + +2004-06-30 (2.8.6dev.5) +* use LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() on the value passed to handle_LYK_HELP() in case + it is of the form file:///path rather than file://localhost/path -DK +* add configure check for ncurses' curses_version() function, using that in + the "-version" output. Add comparable ifdef's for PDCurses and slang -TD +* Some patches to enable IPv6 on Windows (tested with MingW and MSVC6). Some + minor cleanups also -GV + + LYutils.c; fixed extraction of module/system error strings. + + Xsystem.c; use <io.h> for mktemp() prototype. + + HTTCP.c; don't use global host[], fixed call-convention of thread- function + (must be __stdcall).

For Unix + platforms, the DontCheck() function limits the amount of polling which + otherwise would be too much CPU usage -LP +* modify configure check for gcc -Winline warning to work around defect in + gcc 3.3 -TD +* fix bug introduced recently in forms-submitting for TEXTAREA; the "%0d%0a" + was put after each line rather than before, making the first and second lines + joined (report by LV) -TD +* reset the leading/trailing space counts in error-recovery logic added in + 2.8.5dev.15 for S_litteral case in SGML_character(). Otherwise a mismatch, + e.g., due to a stray "<" or ">" in <script>...</script>, prevented a match + on the </script> -TD +* do not free adult_table[] atexit - it should be perfectly empty after + free'ing all HText's. (There is an error if it is not empty at exit) -LP +* unnamed child anchors (`children_notag' list) now use HText memory pool. + Links properly deleted when reparsing the document -LP +* Use less memory for documents with many anchors: most anchors are never + visited, just stored for the reference. So fill in adult_table[] with + HTParentAnchor0 (36 bytes size) instead of full HTParentAnchor (~200 bytes). + HTParentAnchor now allocated on demand, nearly 1:1 to HText. [more comments + in HTAnchor.h, changes located in HTAnchor.c] -LP +* HTParentAnchor0 stores its hash value, to avoid calling HASH_FUNCTION twice + on the same anchor (Re: HTAnchor_delete()) -LP +* fix a potential out-of-bounds bug in HTBEquivalent() -LP +* change strrchr() calls to strchr() in a few src/*.c file when parsing + "#fragment" left-to-right -LP +* modify HTFWriter_abort() to remove file on error -IZ +* added hot.paste style which puts a right-arrow at the UR corner (which is + currently unused). Clicking on it initiates a GOTO to the current selection + (same as PASTE_URL action). The hot.paste style is disabled unless STYLES + and CUT_AND_PASTE are both enabled. Disabled and the user defines hot.paste + in the ".lss" file -IZ +* modify LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c to allow pasting URLs of the form + <address> and "<URL:address>" to lynx. This is useful when it is not easy to + choose address without the surrounding "<>" or "<URL:>" -IZ +* make a minor memory saving (circa 15%) for table processing, improve yet + another case of "ladder" (as in the top of google results), and fixes one + case of "wrong indentation" (elements of a table which contained <center> + were made too wide) -IZ +* modify Stbl_trimFakeRows() to compensate for 2.8.5dev.15 changes to + Stbl_addRowToTable() from 2.8.5dev.15 which caches shrinking cell arrays in a + pool. It did not take into account reallocation of the same data, e.g., in + Stbl_reserveCellsInRow(). For example: + http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/FacultyStaff/Directory/default.htm + (report by Patrick Ash) -IZ +* add FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the + options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets + the user decide whether to ignore prompting for cookies with invalid syntax. + If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is displayed -TD +* add FORCE_SSL_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the + options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets + the user decide whether to ignore prompting for questionable aspects of + an SSL connection. If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is + displayed -TD +* change select() calls to use the expected 1+descriptor value documented for + that function rather than FD_SETSIZE. It is possible that some very old + or unique platform would not work, but this is more efficient (discussion on + lynx-dev) -TD +* modify logic for S_litteral case in SGML_character() to recover from spaces + between the '<', '>' and the corresponding end of the tag, e.g., + <style > + < style > + < style > + match "<style>", and + </style > + < /style > + < /style > + match "</style>" (report by TH) -TD +* correct a check in HText_trimHightext() for the last line of the display, + which left unhighlighted the portion of a multi-line anchor which fell in + that place (report by TH) -TD +* correct an off-by-one in redraw_lines_of_link() which left the link on the + last line on a page highlighted when moving the cursor up (reported by Morten + Bo Johansen) -TD + +2003-04-27 (2.8.5dev.15) +* change definition of docdir1, helpdir1 to avoid using ksh-semantics (see + 2.8.5dev.2) -TD +* update ja.po, uk.po, zh_TW.po from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/ +* improve layout of TRSTable.c, reducing "laddering" effect, where cells in + different columns do not overlap by lines -IZ +* modify SGML_new() to allow display charset-switching when reloading a + document -IZ +* fix a buffer-size in LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c -IZ +* various improvements to load-time for TRSTable.c -IZ + As a test: + <URL:ilyaz.org/software/tmp/table_2col_bold_it_500000.html.gz>. + This is a simple table with 2 columns, one with bold contents, another with + italic one. The total number of rows is 500K. With the patch and an + acceptable malloc(), lynx should use the working set of about 110M to show + the table. On my system with 128M memory, this leads to only 4M of the + process space swapped. +* add case LYK_TO_CLIPBOARD to HTCheckForInterrupt (not a good place), to allow + COPY command to work during download (copying the location to clipboard). + The best thing would be to get the location *after* redirects, but this will + require some additional work -IZ +* add popen-based support for cut/paste. This is a slightly reworked patch to + GNU readline. If RL_PASTE_CMD and RL_CLCOPY_CMD are defined in the + environment, lynx will use them as commands to do cut&paste. The simplest + such commands could just store/retrieve things from + /tmp/.clipboard_user-name; more advanced ones could use X clipboard -IZ +* modify yawerty_kb.h to map U+0411 and U+0431 to 'B' and 'W' positions + respectively. The map contained U+0412 and U+0432 at those positions, + which are duplicated at other positons -IZ +* fix HTLoadFinger() which was miscasting const data -TD +* update Subir Grewal's Lynx links URL to the newest location + http://www.subir.com/lynx.html -TD +* add configure option --with-gnutls, to allow lynx to be built with gnutls. + Used gnutls 0.8.6 on Redhat 8.0 to login at yahoo (gnutls is not very + portable, so this is an experimental option) -TD +* modify loop in HTInitProgramPaths() to convert enum ProgramPaths to an + integer, to accommodate HPUX 11.22 compiler (report by JES) -TD +* amend change in dev.13 to HTParse() to escape spaces, to exclude lynx's + internal URL types such as lynxprog (report by P.J.Walsh) -TD +* modified ifdef's to enable -connect_timeout option for DJGPP -GV + In particular, in LYUtils.c, undef "select" in case Lynx is compiled with + curses (and not S-Lang). Watt-32's select_s cannot be used on a + stdin handle, so one must undef it and use DJGPP's select(). +* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to work with MingW and PDcurses -GV +* add version information for the macros in aclocal.m4 (request by Lars + Hecking) -TD +* modify file-upload to use actual binary-data rather than base64-format -TD +* generate unique boundary for multipart data in HText_SubmitForm() -TD +* reorganize HText_SubmitForm(), maintaining post data using bstring's -TD +* modify HText_SubmitForm() to add field name for the fake coordinate pair + when formatting a multipart submit (report by Peter Pilsl + <pilsl_@goldfisch.at>) -TD +* change post_data to a bstring; implement functions and macros for + manipulating bstring data. This allows post_data to maintain embedded nulls, + e.g., for file-upload -TD +* fix ifdef's for <ncursesw/term.h> -TD +* fixes for file upload -IZ + + modify logic for headers use write them even if MultipartContentType was + not set. + + change logic for base64 to be used ONLY if \0 was found. + If a "strange" char is found, only change "text/plain" to + "application/octet-stream". +* change a couple of _user_message() calls to HTUserMsg2() calls so their + content is saved in the "Messages" buffer -IZ, TD +* undo 2002-11-11 SGMLFindTag optimization (problem with color styles, + reported by IZ). Optimize the function by storing the previously found tags. + Also use my_casecomp() to decrease AS_casecomp() calls by testing the + first character manually -LP +* optimize HTStyle comparison: just compare numbers from enum. + It was previously implemented as a strcmp comparison with a fixed string. + Used in a very inner loop, in HTML_put_character() -LP +* LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() now absorbs LYFillLocalFileURL() call -LP +* optimize LYLegitimizeHREF() -LP +* in HTML.c, revise href resolving logic. HTAnchor_findChildAndLink now + resolves href with respect to BASE internally; HTParse incorporates + LYFillLocalFileURL call (after the parsing, and only when the related string + is not empty and parse includes access, host, path and punctuation). This + removes all LYFillLocalFileURL and most HTParse calls from HTML.c and makes + code more consistent. (Previously, functions were called in a different order + for document with/without BASE, which had the side effect in some cases, + e.g., href="c:" on a DOS machine was resolved properly with _any_ base, and + badly broken without:) -LP +* add/use HTParseALL macro to simplify coding -LP +* revise "internal links" logic (read KW 1997-11-03 notes, before v2.8). + In HTML.c and HTAnchor.c, internal links code affects only parent lookup + in the adults table (more correct in case of post data), now a mainline: + we omit "#ifndef DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS" condition in the two files. + In HTML.c, avoid using internal links for unrelated `src=' attributes + (BGSOUND_SRC, FRAME_SRC, IFRAME_SRC, OVERLAY_SRC, EMBED_SRC links:) -LP +* refine HTAnchor_delete() vs deleteLinks() mutual recursion logic - LP +* change ALIGN_SIZE in GridText.c to sizeof(double), which is probably more + portable than "8" -LP +* modify a syslog() call to guard against possible '%' in its parameter -TD +* remove extra quotes from calling HTMake822Word() for form boundary names + (addresses bug report for fastmail.fm by P.J.Walsh) -TD + +2003-02-04 (2.8.5dev.14) +* correct a missing ">" at the beginning of page sent as response to mailto -TD +* simplify (clarify) anchor structure: links now moved from HTAnchor to + HTChildAnchor (the only place they were used). By this we avoid unneeded + casting in calls to HTAnchor_followMainLink, HTAnchor_followTypedLink, + deleteLinks. [GridText.c, HTML.c, LYList.c, HTAnchor.c] -LP +* as of 1998-11-21 "workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML + document with the same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW", + along with skipping HTAnchor_link() call in this case now, we realize that + HTChildAnchor may have only a single link. (Previously implemented by + mainLink and links list). This simplifies HTAnchor.c -LP +* simplify HTChunk.c -LP +* optimize LYRemoveNewlines() and LYRemoveBlanks() -LP +* check for no common name (CN) in certificate when connecting via SSL, fixes + a SIGSEGV with + https://web-shokai.tokyo-denwa.net/ + (patch by Hataguchi Takeshi) +* add uk.po (Ukranian) from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/ +* modify HTList_linkObject to avoid an infinite loop in HTList_unlinkObject due + to relinking some node several times, corrupting the previous list chain -LP +* increase ATEXITSIZE to 50, 40 was not enough -TD +* ifdef-out call to Cygwin_Shell() in LYMainLoop.c, which does not work + properly for some environments (report by Corinna Vinschen + <vinschen@redhat.com>, forwarded by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* correct a bug in HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() introduced in dev.13 handling + USEMAP, e.g., + http://www.sendas-delivery.com.br/topo_sendas.asp + (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -LP +* minor fixes for K&R compiler on SunOS: prototype of HTDOS_slashes(), + definition of LYLeakSequence -TD + +2003-01-22 (2.8.5dev.13) +* change new memory-allocation in HTString.c and GridText.c to provide pointers + to data aligned to the host's pointer-size, to work on Tru64 where this + happens to be 8 -TD +* resync ".po" files using msgmerge -TD +* remove quadratic complexity from insert_blanks_in_line() usage with large + tables (Stbl). It occasionally cleans up split_line() a bit. CPU load + anomaly reported by BL -LP +* ALLOC_IN_POOL, POOL_NEW, POOL_FREE macros now became functions, suggested by + BL -LP +* define HAVE_ALLOCA for djgpp fixed-configuration -LP +* add command-line option (--nested-tables) to help in testing this feature -TD +* add command-line option (--find-leaks) to disable the memory leak checking + code, allowing one to build an executable which is useful for both normal + and leak-checking (request by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* improve performance of HTParse() for very long strings -LP +* fix memory leak in HTFileSaveStream() -LP +* further optimization in HTAnchor.c - save 3 mallocs per HTChildAnchor by + using new HTList_ functions: HTList_linkObject(), HTList_unlinkObject(), + HTList_unlinkLastObject() which utilize external memory, no malloc/free -LP +* modify "make install-help" rule to avoid warning message about keystrokes + subdirectory (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* optimize !HText_TrueLineSize() expressions as HText_TrueEmptyLine() -LP +* optimize is_url(), rewriting it as case-statements to avoid unnecesary + comparisons, make similar optimization in HTParse() -LP, TD +* corrected logic in is_url() where the "://" was not necessarily checked in + the proper position - TD +* for color-style configuration, add a link to lynx.lss from LYNXCFG: -TD +* simplify setup of internal pages with new function InternalPageFP() -TD +* modify parsing of refresh-URL to strip single quotes, to handle + http://tovar.yandex.ru/ + (reported by LP) -TD +* investigated conflict between NSL_FORK and _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef's for Cygwin + configuration in HTTCP.c; left them as-is since #undef'ing _WINDOWS_NSL in + that case causes problems connecting (feedback by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* corrected an off-by-one error in computing the location of the bottom line + for mouse input in PDCurses configuration which made that area ignore mouse + clicks. Merged almost-identical cases for mouse-input for NT/Windows95 -TD +* ifdef'd out (USE_CURSES_PAIR_0) the ASSUMED_COLORS logic for the PDCurses + configuration (reports by DK) -TD +* LYSetHiText(), LYAddHiText(), and LYClearHiText() use HText memory pool -TD +* add atexit-cleanup for history stack, removed incomplete code for this from + cleanup(), since that gave misleading results in leak-checking. Fix a few + small leaks as well (reported by LP) -TD +* modify cleanup() to leave the trace file open if checking for leaks -TD +* add some simple statistics to summary in Lynx.leaks report -TD +* add malloc-sequence number to Lynx.leaks report, to help with debugging -TD +* fix memory leaks in nested-tables logic, which did not free subtable data + if there was an enclosing table (reports by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* adapted change by LP to allocate HTLine's from memory pool -TD +* move fallback definition of MAXHOSTNAMELEN from HTFTP.c to www_tcp.h so it + can be used in HTTCP.c (Debian #140682) -TD +* improved configure script checks for ncurses -TD +* correct description of XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND in lynx.cfg (report by Mats + Peterson <mats@alicja.dyns.cx>) -TD +* fix configure script so it does not compute basename of system mailer when + none was found. Add check in LYMail.c, LYPrint.c to avoid using system + mailer when it is not configured (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* update several po files (da.po, de.po, et.po, hu.po, sv.po, tr.po) from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/ +* correct logic in recent HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() changes around internal + links and fragments; avoid unneeded reallocations by using HTParseAnchor() + instead of HTParse() -LP +* trim some fat from HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A -LP +* add optimized string functions StrAllocCopy_extra() [and paired FREE_extra()] + which store string size and never shrink; for heavily reallocated strings in + temp objects. Used in SGML.c for value[] fields currently -LP +* in HTUtils.h, FREE macro was unsafe if happen before 'else' -LP +* modify HTParse() to escape any spaces which remain from LYLegitimizeHREF() or + other sources (report by Peter Rasmussen <plr@udgaard.com>) -TD + +2002-12-18 (2.8.5dev.12) +* remove a check in LYMain.c for Cygwin's console, which does not work with + screen (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* undo line/pool logic, fixing a memory leak -LP +* changes proposed by Bela Lubkin, to optimize ALLOC_IN_POOL macro + substitution, pack bitfields in HTStyleChanges to make them more compact on + some systems -LP +* correct logic of do_check_recall(), broken in dev.9 cleanup of pathname + constants with LYIsDosDrive() (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* update makelynx.bat, built with slang configuration -TD +* turn on file-upload in makefile.msc -TD + +2002-12-01 (2.8.5dev.11) +* fix a typo in changelog date -TD +* add project version & date to lynx.cfg -TD +* document xxx_PATH variables in lynx.cfg -TD + +2002-11-11 (2.8.5dev.10) +* modify file-upload to provide content-type based on file-suffix. This is + needed to validate local html files with current the W3C validation service + webpage -TD +* modify file-upload to warn but permit the filename or file contents to be + missing (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD +* workaround for compiler bug in fix_httplike_urls() -BL +* change enumShowColor so SHOW_COLOR_NEVER is zero as in 2.8.3, which makes the + result from LYChoosePopup() match the enum values. This fixes a bug which + would make the slang configuration toggle back to color when accepting an + options screen (report by Sean McGuire <smcguire@soc.lib.md.us> and Carlton + Anderson) -TD +* add a null-pointer check in content_is_compressed() -TD +* in partial mode, load document with #fragment on the fly. Long awaited fix. + LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() now returns BOOL -LP +* calculate WWW_SOURCE once, it is now a constant, not a define -LP +* use malloc instead of calloc in several places, particularly in HTList + operations (each field initialized explicitely) -LP +* fix a few typos in samples/mailcap (Carlton Anderson + <canderson1776@yahoo.com>). +* ifdef'd default_fg and default_bg for PDCURSES to be 15, since that agrees + with lynx's use of color names, and works around a bug exposed by the + ASSUMED_COLORS change from 2.8.5dev.9 (report by DK) -TD +* simplify pretty-source code in SGML.c using PUTS(), put_pretty_entity() and + put_pretty_number() -TD +* refine S_attr test in SGML.c to make pretty-source code handle the case where + a blank precedes the '='.

Removed extra _HTProgress() + for INET6; it overwrote previous progress message -GV, DK +* in SGML.c, element stack now use a pool of 10 elements to avoid most of + malloc/free calls -LP +* in HTParse(), use single alloca instead of three malloc/free pairs -LP +* in HTParse.c, avoid most strcasecomp calls in scan() - LP +* modify GridText.c to store lines, anchors, and forms in the same HText memory + pool as styles. This will optimize memory allocation/deallocation by 8Kb + units. The down side: lines in TRST mode will be stored twice. Some + structs are made a bit more compact -LP +* add DJGPP to SINGLE_USER_UNIX special cases -DK +* modify configure script to not strip the -g option from $CFLAGS if it was + present in the user's environment rather than autoconf adding it (report by + DK) -TD +* add --with-curses-dir configure script option -TD +* in SGMLFindTag, we translate string uppercase in-place and launch case + insensitive search, add SGMLFindUprTag() to cover the cases where the string + is readonly - LP, TD +* DJGPP build restored. MV_PATH was undefined long ago by mistake. Fix recent + DJGPP changes in HTTCP.c: move _resolve_hook few lines below, it will not + compile otherwise. Remove minor warnings -LP +* optimize parsing html with many relative links, href="#fragment" - + HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() and HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A: now avoid + significant overhead when link == HTInternalLink (e.g., resolving against + base, lots of reallocations, parent lookup, etc., all are useless). Two + functions affected. [HTAnchor.c, HTML.c]. The code works both with and + without DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS symbol -LP +* optimize parsing of large html files - with thousands of anchors - LP + + remove quadratic complexity from split_line() usage [GridText.c]. + Because of some work with anchors on the last(=split) line, + the anchors list was traversed from the beginning for each output line. + Now we store last_anchor_before_split explicitly. + [According to gprof, split_line() weight decreased from 33% down to 4%, + with the following test file: 13,000 output lines, 3,100 anchors, ~800Kb] + + remove quadratic complexity from HTAnchor_findChild() usage [HTAnchor.c]. + HTParentAnchor::children list was traversed zillion times, now we + split it into a tree (named anchors <a name=...>, fast search required) + and a list (just a storage for the rest anchors, no search required). + [The same file, gprof shows HTAnchor_findChild() weight decreased + from 11% down to 0.1%] + + remove quadratic complexity when generating a 'l'ist page, + now traverse anchors list only once [LYList.c, GridText.c]. +* add a search method to HTBTree implementation - LP +* amend check for refresh-URL to avoid adding a link if the retrieved page is + compressed, since the link would be added to the compressed file, corrupting + it (reported by Michel SUCH and Karl-Heinz Weirich <weirich@de.ibm.com>) -TD +* strip parameters from refresh-URL -TD +* correct misspelled $LYNX_LOCALEDIR variable in LYMain.c (reported by Michel + Such) -TD +* change the install procedure for lynx.cfg to attempt to update the file with + the user's customizations if any, and to save the old configuration + information in a series, e.g., lynx.cfg-1, lynx.cfg-2, etc. -TD +* re-fix the problem with config.cache not being removed at the beginning of + the configure script - see 2.8.5dev.3 (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD + +2002-10-06 (2.8.5dev.9) +* improve ETA data shown in experimental read-progress (adapted from Debian + #117476) -TD +* modify -dump, -source and related options which set dump mode to also set + -nopause (report by Benjamin Pflugmann <benjamin-mutt@pflugmann.de>) -TD +* correct indexing in LYStyle.c our_pairs[] array, which did not allow for use + of default colors -TD +* make ASSUMED_COLORS in lynx.cfg apply to normal curses implementations which + do not implement assume_default_colors() (prompted by discussion with + Bela Lubkin) -TD +* make permanent an ifdef from SH which provides for truncating a too-long + title with an ellipsis -HN +* gettext'ify a few overlooked strings in LYOptions.c -HN +* modify LYGetHostByName() for MSDOS/DJGPP/Watt-32 to enable terminating it by + pressing 'z' (patch by Gisle Vanem) +* update configure script macros for NLS to gettext 0.10.40 -TD +* add PRCS version/date to lynx.cfg -TD +* setup ifdef's for Unix-specific permissions checks to exclude single-user + systems such as OS/2 EMX, Cygwin and BeOS, which otherwise act like Unix + since we can run the configure script on those platforms -TD +* re-order some tests in the configure script to allow pdcurses' X11 port to + be recognized as supporting color and line-drawing characters -TD +* work around a Cygwin bug which causes subprocesses of a full-screen program + to dump core (perhaps reported by Frederic L W Meunier, but observed in + running lynx in a bash shell spawned from my directory editor) -TD +* fix an inequality in HTDirTitles() which made the "Up to" link omitted for + the first level of an ftp listing, making it awkward to visit the parent + directory if one first visited a subdirectory -TD +* change HTURLPath_toFile() to keep local URLs distinct from remote ones, so + win32 version will not display misleading drive letter on ftp listings -TD +* rewrote Home_Dir(), adding checks for "My Documents" on Windows 2000, and + ensuring that the resulting directory actually exists -TD +* change ifdef's in LYwaddnstr() to use waddstr() consistently, since + wide-character curses implementation treat the string in the given locale + anyway, just like the waddnwstr() call -TD +* reduce clutter with new macro LYIsDosDrive() -TD +* add ifdef's for OS/2 EMX to existing DOSPATH code which checks for drive + letter (Michel Such) +* modify definitions of IsOurFile() and OpenHiddenFile() to allow trace file + to be written when one already exists -TD +* use new macros LYSameFilename(), LYSameHostname(), LYIsNullDevice() to hide + platform-specific filename comparisons -TD +* change sed delimiter in configure script to use '%' consistently, to avoid + using '@', which may appear in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* narrowed accommodation for paths with embedded blanks in LYLegitimizeHREF() + to exclude those containing newlines or tabs (report by Leslie Fairall for + http://www.realtor.com) -TD +* modified VMS build scripts to allow linking with OpenSSL, tested with + OpenSSL-0.9.6g using UCX network libraries. It is reported (by + <grant@rigel.cc.wmich.edu>) that one can modify the scripts to also build + with Multinet's UCX emulation, but the machine I used for testing has only + UCX (comp.os.vms discussion with Christoph Gartmann + <gartmann@immunbio.mpg.de>) -TD +* modify UCSetBoxChars() to assume wide-character curses implementations can + draw boxes -TD +* reduce the number of strncasecomp() calls with associated constants by making + macros for the lynx internal URL types, e.g., isLYNXCGI() -TD +* modify logic that handles goto-fragment (e.g., G #foo) to update the URL + shown in the info page (Debian #113734) -TD +* reduce clutter using new macros findPoundSelector(), + restorePoundSelector() and function trimPoundSelector() -TD +* reduce clutter using functions for updating the strings in DocInfo, mainly in + LYMainLoop.c -TD +* renamed 'document' to 'DocInfo' -TD +* reduce clutter by using NonNull() macro consistently -TD +* define HistInfo struct in terms of document, to make it clearer -TD +* add verification of SSL server certificates. It requires a "cert.pem" file + or cert files in the "certs" subdirectory in your OpenSSL directory for CA + verification. The mod_ssl distribution includes a "ca-bundle.crt" that has a + good set of root certifying authority certs and works well for "cert.pem". + Adding custom CA root certs can be done by either putting them in the server + "cert.pem", or (for a normal user) copying "cert.pem", adding the cert, and + setting the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable before running Lynx (Chris + Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net>). +* add REPLAYSECS config value to allow slowing command scripts down, for + testing -TD +* implement a "set" command for command-scripts, allowing the script writer + to manipulate the sleep-times for messages (prompted by discussion with + Ville Herva) -TD +* implement an "exit" command for command-scripts (Ville Herva) +* modify logic for -cmd_script to stop reading from the command script when + an end-of-file is detected (patch by Ville Herva <vherva@niksula.hut.fi>). +* fill in a few descriptions of restrictions for the help message, as well + as showing the on/off state of the "goto_xxx" restrictions -TD +* correct inverted logic of restrictions table which made "-restrict=default" + provide incorrect values for several items. This was broken in 2.8.4dev.19 + (reported by Jeff Long <long@ukans.edu> and RobertM <robm@bob.bofh.org>) -TD +* add environment variable LYNX_TRACE_FILE which, if given, overrides the + compiled-in value of Lynx.trace (or LY-TRACE.LOG).

This is + not 100% true, here are the caveats related to this: + + When you click in the first line of the screen pine goes back one screen, + the same happens when you click in the last line (this is normal Lynx + behavior, I did nothing in this respect). With this patch, intermediate + scrolling is enabled, which means that left clicking in different (empty + parts) of the screen may move you half a screen or two lines. The idea + is that close to the top you scroll more, close to the center you scroll + less and you scroll in the direction up or down according to which half + of the screen you click on. + + If you click on an empty part of the screen, Lynx changed its behavior + from doing nothing to moving the active link to the closest link near the + click. This is not disabled by this patch, instead, if a closest link is + not found, the screen will scroll, according to the position of the link. +* improve check in LYgetEnum() for ambiguous/abbreviated names in the lynx.cfg + file, e.g., to match the string "visited_links=first" without confusing it + with "visited_links=first_reversed" (report by vortex5 <vortex5@24i.net>, + analysis by TH) -TD +* use StrAllocCopy() rather than strdup() in parse_style() (LYStyle.c) to + avoid false report from leak-checking (from report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* share SSL handle between HTTP.c and HTAAUtil.c so that call of + HTAA_shouldRetryWithAuth() from HTLoadHTTP() updates the handle used in that + function.

Using the WATT-32 signal handler + for this seems to work well. Change the default compile option for DJGPP + to -DIGNORE_CTRL_C, causing lynx to ignore SIGINT, so CTRL-BREAK is + completely disabled.

(The unix default of CTRL-\ is not bound to the same scan code on + different international keyboards, while ALT-X is familiar to DOS users for + existing programs). Because the WATT-32 signal handler was not available + to external programs, a patch to WATT-32 is necessary for the new lynx code + to work. The patch for WATT-32 is shown in the INSTALLATION documentation. + + added some fixes for "/" vs "\" handling in pathnames so that non-DJGPP + programs will see standard DOS pathnames when called.

This does not retain trailing blank lines in a TEXTAREA; + more work would be needed to do that (reported by VH, most browsers appear to + retain trailing blanks) -TD +* modify parsing of "<script>...</script>" to allow "<!-- ... -->" comments + in SGML_character(). Though the HTML 4.0 spec is fairly clear, other + browsers (and some webpages) assume that "</" does not have to be escaped + when it appears in a script which is commented to avoid confusion with older + browsers. This change doesn't ensure that the comment is at the beginning + of a line, since that's awkward to do with SGML_character(), and also leaves + the script in a comment which works for lynx since lynx does not interpret + it anyway -TD +* remove redundant enum identifiers in typedefs -TD +* modify parse_attributes() in LYStyle.c to allow video attributes such as bold + and reverse to be combined with colors, used this to debug problem with + <script> and comment -TD +* improve logic for nested-tables to handle cases such as www.tin.org -IZ + TRST ignores the horizontal alignment *inside* a multi-line cell of a table. + This limitation, in conjunction with the nested-tables modifications does not + work well when text with a horizontal alignment (e.g., <ul>) is put in a + table cell. This patch introduces a *limited* logic to take this info into + account. It should work OK as far as the last non-empty line of the cell is + ended by a "line-end" command, not by a </td> (this is often the case with + contents using horizontal formatting). +* updated URLs for ncurses (report by DK) -TD +* updated samples/bright-blue.lss -IZ +* make definition of $(SHELL) in makefile.in's consistent, in terms of + CONFIG_SHELL, since the configure script no longer uses 'include', and + this creates some problem with nonstandard shells (report by IZ) -TD +* update/extend lists in lynx_help_main.html -Frederic L W Meunier +* add note about lynx.cfg mouse and color configuration to user's guide -PW +* document -cmd_log and -cmd_script options in user's guide (Michael Warner). + +2001-06-10 (2.8.4pre.2) +* corrected order of parameters of is_prefix() function in the + scan_cookie_sublist() function, broken in dev.21 changes (report by Ken Scott + <admin@shellworld.net>) -TD +* add a fallback definition for SA_LEN(), to build with glibc 2.2 (report by + Mark Sutton <mes@lazo.ca>, from + http://cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/lynx-SA_LEN.patch?rev=1.1) -Arkadiusz + Miskiewicz +* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to build with DJGPP -DK +* remove include for <pdcurses.h>, use <curses.h> which is the default for + PDCurses - DK +* reviewed/reverted some changes from dev.20 which changed explicit "r", "w", + and "a+" fopen modes to TXT_R, TXT_W and TXT_A, where they relied on the + default mode set via SetDefaultMode(). With DJGPP, files containing special + graphics such as README's might not otherwise display, for example (report by + DK) -TD + +2001-06-03 (2.8.4pre.1) +This version has been test-built on Linux (BSD curses, ncurses, +slang), Tru64 5.1 (cc, curses/ncurses/slang), OpenVMS, OS/2 EMX, win32 +(both Visual C++ 4.1 and 5.0 as well as Borland C++), AIX 4, HPUX 11, +Solaris 8. Recent builds include SunOS 4.1.4 (cc and gcc, +curses/ncurses/slang), Solaris 2.5.1 (cc and gcc, +curses/ncurses/slang) and IRIX 6.5 (cc and gcc, curses/ncurses). Less +recently, FreeBSD 4.1, NetBSD 1.5 and OpenBSD 2.8 (curses/ncurses). + +2001-06-02 (2.8.4dev.21) +* regenerated lynx.pot and resync'd the .po files against it with msgmerge, + formatted to 132 columns to minimize line-breaks, for ease of comparison -TD +* add a few more #undef's to work with glibc 2.1.3 -TD +* include <signal.h> before <curses.h> to work around bug in glibc 2.1.3, which + apparently was not used to build a system before release. Note that the + preferred solution is to patch /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h to avoid defining + ERR, which is defined by all versions of curses.h (report by Karl Eichwalder + <ke@suse.de>) -TD +* change lynx.cfg entry for COLOR #6 to brightred/black, which is what + Slackware uses, to make links more visible -TD +* remove several chunks of dead (#if 0) or commented-out code, especially in + TRSTable.c, except a few used for debugging -TD +* add checks for potential buffer overflow in increment_tagged_htline() -TD +* consolidate scattered calls to editor with function edit_temporary_file(), + which fixes terminal modes when editing TEXTAREA -TD +* modify LYisNonAlnumKeyname(), etc., using new functions LYindex2MBM() and + LBMBM2index() so that it should work with EBCDIC, as well as similar case of + translation in LYBookmarks.c which assume that there are no gaps in the + coding for the alphabet -TD +* workaround in lynx_nl2crlf() for ncurses, which did not refrain from using + cursor-down if it was set to a newline when nonl() was specified -TD +* replace permissions[] array in LYLocal.c because Cygwin (mis)implements the + S_xxx values as a function -TD +* add ENABLE_LYNXRC setting to lynx.cfg, which allows one to modify the list + of values which are visible on the O'ptions form which can be saved to the + .lynxrc file -TD +* check the width of entries displayed by LYOptions.c non-forms + boolean_choice(), to pad shorter ones with spaces -TD +* change type of LYMultiBookmarks to integer, combine with LYMBMAdvanced, to + use enumMultiBookmarks to set it, making its configuration more easily + table-driven -TD +* make the style of menu border/bg/entry/number/active-entry and scroll + indicator settable -IZ + The names in lynx.lss are + menu.frame menu.bg menu.n menu.entry menu.active menu.sb +* modify cookie path prefix-comparison to ignore a trailing slash, e.g., + /group/sftvnews/ versus /group/sftvnews (workaround for LV visiting + http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sftvnews) -TD +* cookie path= should be a prefix of the request-URI path, so do not truncate + request-URI path in LYSetCookie() [we got mistaken "invalid cookie path=..." + prompt in some cases previously] -LP +* parameterized the logic around URL_edit_history to add MAIL_edit_history, + used to store addresses for Printing Options, mail file to user (request by + LV) -TD +* check, fix minor problems with some .po files based on check_po script + (mentioned on mutt-dev mailing list by Bjorn Jacke <bjacke@suse.de>) -TD +* fixes to build with U/Win -TD +* check width in LYpaddstr(), truncate the string if needed. This fixes a + case where items in very wide popup menus would wrap, e.g., the EXTERN_LINK + menu -TD +* add a configure checks for term.h, to work around broken package for ncurses + on Cygwin -TD +* combine checks for useragent into one function LYCheckUserAgent() -TD +* add runtime toggle for EXP_NESTED_TABLES, bind this to "~" (see www.tin.org + for comparison) -TD +* regenerate ja.po from lynx-2.8.3rel1.ja.po using gettext 0.10.37 and libiconv + 1.6.1 (updated by Masayuki Hatta <mhatta@po.airs.net>) +* changed -DNCURSES in DOS makefile to -DPDCURSES -TD +* changes for DOS makefiles with DJGPP -DK + These changes are for DOS under DJGPP with Internationalization and SSL. The + openssl port for DOS is dependent on WATT32, so the link order for libraries + has to be set appropriately. Made EXP_NESTED_TABLES the default and changed + the default locations for WATT-32 and PDCURSES to top-level directories. The + DOS port of gettext is now dependent on libiconv.a to convert character sets + as the .mo file is read. The format for the makefile in WWW/Library/DJGPP + now reflects the changes previously made in the src makefile. +* improve definition of CTRACE, making it an expression again as it was before + dev.20 -PG +* move logic for cookie_domain_flag_set() out of LYReadCFG.c into LYCookie.c + rewriting it to make it table-driven, where it is now shared with + LYrcFile.c -TD +* rewrote LYrcFile.c, making it table-driven as is LYReadCFG.c -TD +* reviewed/corrected several pointer-mismatches in PARSE_xxx() macro usage -TD +* corrected return-types of several functions in LYLocal.c, which were given as + BOOLEAN though they return a signed integer -TD +* add DIRED support to makefile.bcb -TD +* filter the list of mime types sent in "Accept:" header for GET, to eliminate + repeated or shadowed types, using new function HTFilterPresentations() + (addresses Debian bug report #41594) -TD +* fix several typos in Lynx help-files -LV +* change most configure script C-preprocessor assignments to $CFLAGS to + $CPPFLAGS, and modify logic of $TRY_CFLAGS to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS, which + does the same thing -TD +* enable scroll indicators on the menus - shown if there is a part of menu + before/after the visible area -IZ +* modify the context-sensitive mouse-menu, making it easier to to configure by + reorganizing the tables used to generate the popup menu -IZ +* correct a couple of places in form_getstr() when keys were "generated" + instead of actions, which broke mouse-navigation in input fields -IZ +* fix return value of Stbl_finishTABLE(), retesting curpos whose value may have + been altered, e.g,. in split_line(), causing a cell to overflow to the right + of the visible area (even if line wrap is requested) -IZ +* change the logic of -display-charset: before it was sometimes descriptive + (here is the charset, behave as if it was used for display), sometimes + prescriptive (make the display to use charset if you can). Now it is only + descriptive. One is forced to use the 'O'ptions to manually load a different + font -IZ +* move $(DEFS) and $(CHARSET_DEFS) into $(CPP_OPTS) in src/makefile.in -TD +* renamed -blink_is_boldbg command-line option to -blink, corrected ifdef's -TD +* implement -blink_is_boldbg option for OS/2 EMX and ncurses, then integrated + some ifdef's to merge with equivalent slang code -IZ +* rewrote hardcoded if/then/else chains in handle_LYK_SHIFT_LEFT() + handle_LYK_SHIFT_RIGHT() to repeat_to_delta() function -TD +* implement a key-accelerator for shift-left/right commands, i.e., repeating + the shift command increases the amount by which the screen is shifted -IZ +* modify ifdef in handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE() to use popup menus for each + configuration rather than limit it only to mouse-supported ones such as + ncurses or PDCurses -TD +* changes to left/right scrolling to limit its effect to tables (IZ): + + rename LYlineWrap variable (used to denote the column at which content is + wrapped) to LYwideLines (used to denote the opposite sense: true if + wrapping is disabled). + + add global variable LYtableCols to control the column-limit for tables. + The two variables LYLineWrap and LYtableCols have the same effect as did + altering LYlineWrap and LYcols, but are limited to table layout. + + modify handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE(), use a popup menu to set LYwideLines + and LYtableCols. The latter is set to a positive integer, in units of + 1/12 of the physical screen width. + + modify GridText.c, replacing LYcols with new macros DISPLAY_COLS and + WRAP_COLS. + + keep scrollbar on the right margin of the screen when the contents are + shifted left or right. +* modify makefile.bcb, add (tested) commented-out lines for building with + color-styles -TD +* modify makefile.msc and makefile.bcb, add (tested) commented-out lines for + building with winsock2 -TD +* add a configure check for napms(), use this if available to support subsecond + delay times for INFOSECS, MESSAGESECS, ALERTSECS -TD +* rewrote www_user_search() to support both forward and backward search. + Bound backward-search to 'N' -TD +* split-out anchor_has_target() and link_has_target() to separate the search + loops from the search comparisons -TD +* reduce some clutter with LYno_attr_strstr() and LYno_attr_mb_strstr() macros, + which combine the caseless/case-sensitive functions -TD +* modify S_equals in SGML_character() to recover when no attribute value + is given, e.g., if "alt=" is followed by whitespace. Before, the next + attribute was used for the missing value -TD +* replace call to LYRemoveBlanks() from LYLegitimizeHREF(), which had the + effect of removing all blanks from HREFs, with the less drastic step of + reducing newlines and tabs to spaces and trimming leading/trailing blanks. + Though they do not belong there, it is more likely that the HREF will work + with embedded blanks retained -TD +* add a configure check for BSD- and SYSV-style curses touchline function, + needed to build with NetBSD 1.5 curses which has a partial implementation + of X/Open curses (report by JES) -TD +* correct insert_blanks_in_line(), which did not copy trailing style codes + such as stop-underline, causing "lynx -dump -with_backspaces" to produce + some odd effects -TD +* modify configure script macro CF_NCURSES_VERSION to define NCURSES, in case + it is used in the default screen setting, since lynx uses this definition in + some places rather than NCURSES_VERSION to distinguish it from other curses + implementations -TD +* modify configure script macro CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS to check for ncurses.h + before curses.h, and to specifically check for <ncurses/ncurses.h>, to avoid + spurious matches against a /usr/include/ncurses.h, to workaround problems + with obsolete versions of ncurses on FreeBSD and NetBSD where the current + version is often available only as a "port" (reports by Jim Spath, + Michael Warner) -TD +* add fallback definition for SLSMG_xxx_CHAR symbols which may be missing in + older versions of slang (reported by Eduardo Chappa) -TD +* update config.guess, config.sub + +2001-04-01 (2.8.4dev.20) +* rename KEYMAP 'EXTERN' to 'EXTERN_LINK', adding 'EXTERN_PAGE'. Existing + keymaps should work since 'EXTERN_LINK' matches first. EXTERN_PAGE runs the + external command on the current page. Map comma (,) to EXTERN_PAGE -TD +* replace most calloc calls with typecalloc or typecallocn -TD +* modify LYExtern.c to recognize if more than one EXTERN command has been + defined in lynx.cfg for a given name, and allow the user to select one + command from a popup menu -TD +* split-out code that opens lynx.cfg and lynx.lss as LYOpenCFG() function, + making that check if the given pathname is absolute. If not, it attempts + to look in the same directory as the parent file (when processing includes), + or the directory of the default config file -TD +* replace some explicit "r", "w", and "a+" fopen modes with TXT_R, TXT_W and + TXT_A, add/use corresponding BIN_R, BIN_W, BIN_A definitions. Correction to + OpenHiddenFile(), which would have appended text to a binary file -TD +* combined lynx_html_item_type and lynx_printer_item_type structs as + lynx_list_item_type to simplify LYReadCFG.c and incidentally fixing a bug in + add_printer_to_list by merging it with add_item_to_list -TD +* implement a simple workaround for staircased messages from running xli as an + external viewer, with lynx_nl2crlf() function -TD +* add bright-blue.lss sample (from IZ) -TD +* modify makefile.in's to use symbol _O for object suffix to allow simple + override for OS/2 EMX -Zomf compiler option (request by IZ) -TD +* add HAVE_LYHELP_H definition in config.hin and use that in LYGlobalDefs.h + to workaround misuse of HAVE_CONFIG_H in makelynx.bat -TD +* work-around in LYrefresh() when curses pads are used, for special case where + cursor is not set properly when prompting with long subject line for mailto + URL -TD +* eliminate some pointer mismatch compiler warnings in LYEditInsert() for + EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT configuration -TD +* improve handling of tables with respect to bad HTML. Also took an + opportunity to macroize a couple of places which missed in + unobfuscation-of-faking <td></td> (this faking happens when line break + happens in a non-first column of a table) -IZ + For example: + <TR> + <TD> + <FORM ACTION="FrameWork.class" METHOD="post"> + y + </TD> + <TD> + <DIV> + x + </DIV></FORM> + </TD> + </TR> + Note FORM which spans cells. -trace'ing it gives very unintuitive + results: it skips </TD> inside FORM, but not <TD>. Then it supplied + </TD> when the FORM ends. +* repair treatment of colspans in TRST, making it work again in one of the + special cases it worked before. Another bug was in interaction of + justification and tables -IZ +* marked more TRACEs in TRST as "BUG"s -IZ +* TRST would sometimes produce non-intuitive results if <td> follows </tr>. + Add error recovery for this case -IZ +* corrections for nested-table configuration -IZ + + make trailing <BR> in table cells "behave well" again (the following cell + would not be horizontally offset). + + fix highlighting of multiline links inside tables, and a "80M tracelog" bug + (due to a misprint update of the enclosing table was performed once-per-row + instead of once-per-table). Extra updates would not hurt, but led to + slowdowns and quadratic-size logs. + + fix a special case with table-in-table for partial-display +* resizing a window on a console may lead to a switch of the character-cell + size. The "downloaded font" loaded during an auto-switch of display-charset + may be no longer valid. In this case, force a re-download of the suitable + font for the current charcell size -IZ +* add reverse-video style for forwbackw.arrow to lynx.lss -TD +* while an error in .lynx-keymaps is fatal, but a more or less equivalent error + in the KEYMAP section of lynx.cfg is benign. Make them both benign -IZ +* change remaining uses of lookup_keymap(LYK_xxx) to LAC_TO_LKC0(LYK_xxx) -TD +* modify set_clicked_link() to return lynx keycodes rather than character + values -IZ +* remove line_for_char() function since it is used for HTLine.start + computations -TD +* several changes to GridText.c -IZ + + '#' (shown at the UL corner when there is a toolbar) is shown even at the + beginning-of-the document. + + with mouse enabled, the first 6 chars in the UL corner were "always" + sensitive to Click-1, behaving as PREV_DOC (usually on Left). This patch + changes this logic (for color-style): + If '#' is shown there, clicking on it behaves as pressing #; + Clicking on the next 6 chars behaves as PREV_DOC/NEXT_DOC (3+3); + + if you define a style for forwbackw.arrow, then suitable arrows are shown + in these 3+3 positions; in fact they are shown only if it makes sense to do + PREV_DOC/NEXT_DOC, providing additional feedback. + + remove the first empty line shown on any HTML document. + + correct an off-by-one error in the removal-of-zero-length-markup logic. + Due to this bug, zero-length markup was never removed, which led to + accumulation of style change entries, eventually to a buffer overflow. At + this moment lynx color-style engine would give up, resulting in + incomprehensible ocean of colors on the display. To demonstrate, make a + select entry with more than 46 entries. [My auto-display-charset logic + added 2 new encodings to the table of Lynx, bringing the number to 46 on + the 'o'ption form. ;-] + + fixes a bug with incorrectly calculated width of a numeric tag [12] + as far as 12 is 10 or more (still fixes Debian #68542). + + remove unused members from HTLine struct. + + make variables underline_on and bold_on private. + + rewrote insert_blanks_in_line(), splitting out move_anchors_in_region(). + + make split_line() easier to maintain by adding variables to represent + common subexpressions, e.g., s_post, s_pre. + + use set_style_by_embedded_chars() in split_line() to simplify/improve test + for whether lynx should add a bold/underline control. + + recode to eliminate HTLine.start + + recode to eliminate HTLine.chars + + several changes to split_line(), using pointers to HTChangeStyle structs + rather than array indices. +* adjust some ifdef's to make configure --disable-trace compile -TD +* correct allocation size in mailcap_substitute(), which did not count the + trailing null -TD +* add configure --enable-vertrace option, to put __FILE__ and __LINE__ into + trace log -PG +* improve description of USE_MOUSE in lynx.cfg -PW +* fix a few warnings from antic (unreached statements due to quirks of ifdef's, + incorrectly-indented code) -TD +* eliminate a few references to USE_HASH and LINKEDSTYLES in documentation -TD +* fix a couple of compiler warnings for SCO -BL +* fix a comparison in HTChunkPutUtf8Char() to work with EBCDIC -PG +* fix a typo in LYCharUtils.c CTRACE macro, amend tracing to avoid suppressing + a related user message -PG +* change CF_TERMCAP_LIBS configure macro to warn rather than exit with an error + if it cannot find the libraries it is looking for. This allows one to + configure with the slang library on systems without a termcap library (report + by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD + +2001-02-26 (2.8.4dev.19) +* add experimental configure option for post-dev.16 TRST changes by IZ + (--enable-nested-tables), ifdef'd with EXP_NESTED_TABLES -TD +* correct a couple of places that used attrset() rather than wattrset(), which + caused the status line to lose color when configured for curses pads but not + using color-style (report by Fr3dY <fr3dy@retemail.es>) -TD +* add a restriction for the chdir command, so it is not normally enabled in + anonymous mode -TD +* reduce putenv logic for presetting $LINES and $COLUMNS to a special case + for MVS -PG +* enable pasting an URL into Lynx (similar to 'g'), and improves the code to + copy an URL from Lynx -IZ +* remove arbitrary restrictions on the size of text to be pasted. It also + makes a quadratic algorithm into a linear one. Also, it may remove many bugs + when the text to paste contains non-printable chars. Not tested with Unicode + and on Win* -IZ +* implement an action NEXT_DOC, which undoes what PREV_DOC (usually on the + Left-arrow key) does -IZ + Possible enhancements: + a) make HISTORY show the position on the (no more!) "stack". + b) several places in the source use the value of nhist (they scan + history?). Make nhist_extra public, and check whether these + places want nhist + nhist_extra instead. + c) Currently LYpop() and (some) LYpush() erases "the tail" of the + stack. Maybe some callers would prefer a different semantic... +* correct some logic related to EXP_READPROGRESS -IZ +* change LYE_xxx symbols to an enum LYEditCodes -TD +* replace some WIN_EX ifdef's by CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE. Enable cut and paste on + OS/2 -IZ + For example, in the keymap file: + setkey "\200\4" LAC:DO_NOTHING:PASTE # S-insert + setkey "^(kIC)" LAC:DO_NOTHING:PASTE # S-insert +* enable automatic switching of display charsets -IZ + Currently, it is supported under OS/2 only. A couple of lines should make it + work in LINUX too: express the semantic of _Switch_Display_Charset() in + terms of the existing UCChangeTerminalCodepage. + For example, in lynx.cfg: + CHARSETS_DIRECTORY:I:/get/tfont10/dir1 + CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES: koi8-r ISO-8859-5 windows-1251 cp866u KOI8-U :cp866, iso-8859-1 windows-1252:cp850 + The first variable may be not needed outside of OS/2 (the directory which + contains glyph tables, as generated/usable with tfont). [Used for + full-screen sessions only.] The second variables may go at the future, when + Lynx knows how to auto-deduce it itself. Format of CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES + source1 source2 source3 : dest1, source4 source5 : dest2 +* move a call for _scrsize() from LYSystem() to size_change(), to fix problem + with OS/2 EMX related to screen-size changes -IZ +* correct a bug in TRSTable.c which left a pointer into a chunk which was + reallocated elsewhere (report by Robert Mognet <rmgnt@surfree.com>) -TD +* make parse_restrictions() warn about keywords it does not recognize -TD +* rewrote restrictions_fun() in LYMain.c, making it use print_help_strings(), + to show the actual restriction values, and listing restrictions that are not + documented in the -restrictions message -TD +* if find-leaks if enabled, free the 'line' variable in HTReadProgress() -TD +* if find-leaks is enabled, undefine SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE in HTString.c to avoid + seeing spurious leaks in HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 -TD +* add command-line option -trace-mask to specify optional traces. Defined + these: 2=color-style, 4=TRST -TD +* improve ifdef's for --disable-trace configure option, eliminating more unused + code when NO_LYNX_TRACE is defined -TD +* make ifdef's for NCURSES and resizeterm consistent -TD +* add a call to wresize() after resizeterm() in case user resizes screen in + ncurses pad configuration (report by IZ) -TD +* change entry for "bibp" restriction to "goto_bibp" for consistency with the + other goto_xxx restrictions, and use CAN_ANONYMOUS_GOTO_BIBP (report by + Robert Cameron) -TD +* add table entries for goto_xxx restrictions, which replace assignments + overlooked in conversion to table in dev.18 (report by Robert Cameron) -TD + +2001-02-12 (2.8.4dev.18) +* change LYLineEditors[] to unsigned char since values are out of range for + signed chars on Solaris -TD +* correct a memory leak in HTStat() from mis-patch for Win32 -TD +* modify fancy_mouse() logic for ncurses to allow the user to quit a menu by + clicking outside the menu -IZ +* allow a different approach to the problem: how to enter a keyboard + navigation command when you are in an editing mode. A new EDIT-time action + is introduced: LYE_STOP. Use it like this: + KEYMAP:^[:INTERRUPT:STOP + The action behaves as if -tna is temporarily switched on: your edit is + committed, and you go into the non-edit mode - until you press Enter on an + edit field again (or switch to a different document), when this temporary + switch to -tna is terminated. If the "current" edit field has a different + style than the "active" edit field, you get an additional feedback. Anyway, + the status line shows a correct info about the current mode. + In -tna mode this behaves as the usual end-of-edit action -IZ +* make bindings for C-w and C-x C-w do not work for form input fields -IZ +* add etags target to top-level makefile.in -IZ +* add some traces to make color style code easier to debug -TD +* restore commented-out call to HText_cancelStbl() in HTML_TABLE case in + HTML_start_element() from IZ's changes, which is needed for nested table + alignment. The colors shown in deja-news are incorrect however because color + styles are not picking up the </tr> and </table> tags properly, and a few + tables are misaligned relative to dev.16, more analysis needed -TD +* change LYHash.c to use const, eliminate redundant unsigned's and casts -TD +* add a limit check for rand()/etc., result in LYUtils.c, which worked for + Linux lrand48() but was not portable (report by PG) -TD +* add missing definitions to make srand/rand code build for non-autoconf'd + configurations such as win32 -TD +* ifdef'd the mkdir() for lynx_temp_space in LYMain.c to make it apply only to + Unix, to avoid prototype conflict with non-POSIX compilers (report by Mike + Bledig <mikegb@mweb.co.zw>) -TD +* adapt patch for FTP_PASSIVE from NetBSD CVS, to make it work with INET6 (from + comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc newsgroup posting which stated that the patch had + been forwarded to lynx-dev) -TD +* remove unused code of HTParseInet() for INET6 from HTTCP.c -TD +* updated some translations in fr.po and ru.po (report by JES) -TD + +2001-02-08 (2.8.4dev.17) +* implement left/right scrolling and line-wrap toggle using '{', '}' and '|' + characters, respectively. This uses SVr4 curses/ncurses pads to make the + whole screen treated as a viewport into a very wide screen -TD +* make do_check_goto_URL() table-driven to simplify it as well as combine the + related messages into GOTO_XXXX_DISALLOWED -TD +* combine restrict_name[] and restrict_flag[] arrays to eliminate possibile + ifdef mismatches, as well as to simplify the treatment of "default" + restrictions -TD +* eliminate redundant symbols for color-style ifdefs (USE_HASH and + LINKEDSTYLES), using only USE_COLOR_STYLE -TD +* simplify parse_style() by making most of it a table -TD +* correct logic in arg_eqs_parse() for OPTNAME_ALLOW_DASHES ifdef which made + incorrect match for -display if -display-charset were given + (report by IZ) -TD +* revert a commented-out call to HText_cancelStbl() in HTML_TABLE case in + HTML_start_element() from IZ's changes, which had the effect of changing the + article color in deja-news for color-style configuration -TD +* fix off-by-one error in the END key handling (an empty line was shown at the + end) -IZ +* makes END key always show a full last page of the document. That is, even if + the last line is already shown, it is moved to become the last line of the + screen, so that as much as possible of the document is on the screen -IZ +* add -display_chars cmdline option, and additionally allows autodetection of + the charset on the system which allow it. This provides a way to switch the + display charset other than via obscure manipulation with 'O'ptions. (.lynxrc + is not viable if you have different charsets in different windows.) -IZ + The logic: + (1) first autodetect; + (2) then read cfg file, and if it is not "AutoDetect ..." (as the saved + version says), grant the cfg file charset; + (3) then read the cmdline, if it is present, but not "auto", then + grant it, otherwise switch back to the autodetected one. +* allow TRST code to handle table-in-table. There are now two cases only + (modulo bugs) when Lynx will not show a table in a table form no matter what + is the screen width: when TABLE is inside PRE, and when there is a TAB + inside a TABLE. Both look like deliberate decisions, so I did not change + these places in HTML.c. But one may need to reconsider this at some + moment... Example of usage: to process (my old copy of) DejaNews Power + Search form (which has TABLE-in-TABLE, and multiline cells) you need screen + width of 112 chars -IZ +* enable <BR> and <P> in TRSTables. The table still needs to fit into the + screen width without line wrapping. A tiny bit of additional work may be + needed to allow tables-inside-tables too; then any table should be rendable + as a table after an appropriate screen resizing. This patch also should make + around 70% of TRSTable.c unreachable. A lot of simplification can be made, + and most of the current convoluted hackery may be removed. Since this + algorithm tries to align *all* the display lines of the table, in some rare + cases it may need larger screen width than the old algorithm (the old + algorithm ignores all but one of the display lines corresponding to the given + <TR></TR> - and in most cases just gives up for the whole table if a + multiline cell is but of the simplest form) -IZ +* add several traces and comments to TRSTable.c -IZ +* enable interrupting LYNX by any char bound to INTERRUPT -IZ +* add configure check for srand()/rand() functions, or alternatives with + similar interfaces. These are used in the SSL and experimental temporary + file options -TD +* allow binding ESC to perform some action (such as INTERRUPT:ABORT, or + something else). It is useful only if the curses (or similar) package remaps + all the reasonable escape sequences, so Lynx internal escape-sequence + processing is not needed -IZ +* enable showing the region between mark and point in the edit areas in a + different style. The style names are edit.active.marked and + edit.prompt.marked -IZ +* add visible feedback for special case of unactive current text area which may + exist with -tna. The corresponding style is edit.current -IZ +* add FORW_RL and BACK_LL to edit bindings support to allow cursor forward and + backward respectively to move to the next/previous link if done at the end of + the edit-field -IZ +* update several configure script macros to smooth over incompatibilities + in autoconf 2.49c (alpha). In particular, this eliminates support for + changequote(), and adds limited support for OS/2 -TD +* add google to list of search engines in lynx_help_main.html -LP +* minor formatting of help message -Michael Warner +* modify GetStdin() function in LYMain.c to allow -stdin option to read past + a line consisting of "---" (reported by Michael Warner) -TD +* ifdef'd bibp: support, added configure option --disable-bibp-urls -TD +* add experimental support for bibp: URLs as described in + http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-cameron-tatu-bibp-02.txt + (patch by Rob Cameron <cameron@cs.sfu.ca>). +* change sed delimiters in makefile.in to avoid using '@', which may appear + in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>) -TD +* fix missing call to LYCloseTempFP() in LYPrint.c, which caused attempt to + mail a file from the PRINT menu to send an email with a blank body.

Three flavors of them are + active text-edit fields, non-active ones, and links/radiobuttons, etc. + This patch is concerned with the first flavor only. Two subflavors are + document's text-edit areas, and Lynx's ones (such as where you input the URL + after `g'). Each one of them has 3 elements: scroll symbols ("arrows"), + after-the-end padding, and the actual input string. + The patch + a) makes styles for these 2*3 elements customizable; + b) uses ACS chars (if available) for the arrows (instead of `{'/`}'). + [It would be nice to make non-active text-areas to have customizable + styles for padding, and have scroll arrows too...] + Here is my customization for testing: + edit.active:normal:red:cyan + edit.prompt:normal:green:cyan + edit.active.arrow:normal:yellow:cyan + edit.prompt.arrow:normal:yellow:gray + edit.active.pad:normal:gray:cyan + edit.prompt.pad:normal:white:black +* modify LYSystem() to allow changing size of lynx window with OS/2 EMX + at runtime.

Now recalculate them for each new directory + request if they are needed -KW +* be slightly more tolerant about FTP directory listing file times that appear + to lie in the future: allow today plus one day without assuming that it must + mean a year ago, to account for possible timezone differences -KW +* add comment to reload_read_cfg() listing things that are/aren't done -LP +* minor lynx.cfg corections for better cfg2html.pl output -LP +* restore 'from_source_cache' PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c, add comments -LP +* amend dev.16 feature for generating random temporary filenames to ensure that + Lynx does not currently have the generated name open as a temporary file -TD + +1999-12-15 (2.8.3dev.17) +* add a caution to jumpsUnix.html -PW +* ifdef LYEditKeyForAction() to compile when EXP_ALT_BINDINGS is not defined + (reported by VH) -TD +* add 3-valued DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE to lynx.cfg -TD +* revert DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE to NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS (consensus) -TD +* add COOKIE_SAVE_FILE lynx.cfg and corresponding command-line option, default + it to /dev/null, which is recognized on all systems -BJP +* correct typo in declaration of LYLeakSAVsprintf() -Michael Warner +* remove from_source_cache_p parameters in LYMainLoop.c (request by LP) -TD +* documentation updates covering the Options Menu & other changes omitted + previously -PW +* small correction in TRSTable.c: One of my previous changes for TRST broke + inheritance of alignment for cell contents from TR elements -KW +* new functions for keeping track of temp files (and some other files) for user + interface pages: LYRegisterUIPage(), LYIsUIPage(). Most checks that look at + the loaded document's title have been replaced by this mechanism. This also + replaces various mechanism that were implemented for some specific pages -KW +* also replaced some more checks that looked at the document's title by checks + of the address, for pages that are always identified by a special URL scheme + (LYNXCOOKIE:, LYNXKEYMAP:, LYNXMESSAGES:) -KW +* now check directly in postoptions() whether the loaded document is one from + which submission of option changes can be accepted, using the new tracking + mechanism. Only the form-based Options Menu and Visited Links are allowed. + Relying on a good random generator to prevent spoofing is not necessary. + Kept the secure_string check, but it should be only regarded as an aid to the + user, it prevents changing options from an instance of the form-based Options + Menu that is not the most recent one (this can happen if an Options Menu page + is pushed on the history stack and later returned to) -KW +* honor REUSE_TEMPFILES for some more user interface pages -KW +* prevent an obscure LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU crash -KW +* other minor additions and corrections to checks for special pages -KW +* changed INSTALLATION text for --enable-internal-links -KW, HN +* changes to build dev16 with color styles on DJGPP/PDCurses 2.3 + (you must uncomment a line in makefiles to build lynx that way) -LP +* correct a missing check in HTML.c HTML_A case against force_empty_hrefless_a + (reported by KW) -VH +* changed lines -> disp_lines, cols -> disp_cols in GridText.c -KW +* don't reparse with SOURCE_CACHE if screen size changed only + vertically (disp_lines).

Before this change, the prompt + would be issued after returning to mainloop() instead, with different + behavior if confirmation was denied: The document would be popped instead of + keeping the current instance -KW +* function confirm_post_resub made PUBLIC and moved to HTAlert.c. New function + srcmode_for_next_retrieval in LYGetFile.c. Both used for the above and in + LYMainLoop.c -KW +* fixed behavior for various post_data confirmation prompts in connection with + SOURCE_CACHE in LYMainLoop.c. Before this change, the user would be prompted + to confirm reloading, yet on confirmation reparsing from the source cache + would be attempted. So prompts were unnecessary and misleading -KW +* try to handle some failures of errors in source cache reparsing better. Try + to make sure that unsafe post_data documents don't get reloaded accidentally + without confirmation if source cache reparsing fails. Treat partial data + (i.e. loading from source cache probably 'z'apped by user) as successful, as + HTLoadDocument does. (Various error conditions are currently only passed on + to the caller by HTParseFile, not by HTParseMem. I left this apparent design + decision unchanged.) -KW +* source cache reparsing did not rewrite a previous cache copy when the + document was reloaded from the net. This means that e.g. NOCACHE or RELOAD + would force reloading from the network, but then on the next non-forced + loading of the document (e.g. by toggling to SOURCE view) the old (and + possibly stale) copy would again be used. Now the newer copy replaces the + old copy if loading is successful (and not interrupted or aborted with 'z'). + (Note that RELOAD while in source view, at least in the normal one without + -preparsed or -prettysrc, does not have this effect since the document does + not get pushed through the cache writer at all in that case.) -KW +* if a source cache copy for a document exists, we need a way to ensure that + reparsing from that copy does not try to rewrite that same copy "under our + feet" while still reading from it. Previously that was done by just never + rewriting an existing source cache. After changing that (see previous item), + a different approach is needed to prevent such collisions. This is now + solved in two ways: (a) Base a temporary new file or memory chunk for + writing, and only commit it to the doc's ParentAnchor object (replacing the + previous copy) at the end of the incoming data stream. This is done in + CacheThru_free(), but not in CacheThru_abort(), meaning that an interrupted + or otherwise aborted transmission will not replace an existing cached copy + with a truncated now version - as long as such interruption gets detected and + properly indicated, which is not the case for reading from the source cache + with SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY in effect, see above. (b) Change the + HTParentAnchor's protocol field to indicate a non-HTTP protocol, before + starting to load from source cache in HTreparse_document(). Normally, as + long as DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is not defined, this prevents the cache writer + from (re)generating a cache copy. Mechanism (b) isn't necessary (everything + still works when DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is defined), it just avoids unnecessary + work -KW +* source cache files and chunks were not always being removed when they should, + probably since change of 1999-06-18. A large number of cache copies could be + kept around unnecessarily wasting disk or memory space. Now make sure that + the source cache copy gets removed when a document is removed from the cache + of rendered docs. They would never be reused anyway. New function + HTAnchor_clearSourceCache. Note to other developers: HTAnchor_delete() + doesn't always remove the HTParentAnchor object, see its implementation -KW +* detect errors during appending to the cache copy. Previously, memory + allocation errors (for SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY) would cause program exit, and + file write errors (SOURCE_CACHE:FILE, e.g. if the temp disk space was full) + would go undetected and leave the cache file corrupt or truncated. Now allow + the program to continue normally, just cancel the source cache generation for + the current document (which may free up enough memory or disk space to remedy + the immediate problem). Produce an alert message. In the case of a file + error, produce the alert only once until a possibly re-reading of lynx.cfg, + since Lynx should remain otherwise functional in the face of cache file + writing errors -KW +* extended HTChunk: added a variant for which memory allocation errors + are not fatal. Used for changes described in previous item -KW +* don't write raw escape sequences to trace output for lynx-keymaps if + not using trace log file -KW +* protect echo() in stop_curses, it could crash if stop_curses gets called + without preceding start_curses -KW +* save size for regular files in anchor structure (we do the stat() anyway). + It shows up on INFO page as Content-Length. Also use it in partial display + mode to prevent the last call to HTDisplayPartial from HTFileCopy, since a + call to HText_pageDisplay will follow immediately. (But note that nothing + important depends on the correct size; should it be wrong, we lose at most + one partial display screen update. An equivalent suppression of the last + partial update for network protocols is not recommended, since (a) the size + is more unreliable and (b) the socket FIN may be delayed by the network.) -KW +* split HTMIME_put_character into three functions -KW +* made HTMIME.c handle folded header lines correctly (long-standing bug, + reported in February by Devid Coles) -KW + [ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0299/msg00135.html ] +* changed how HTTP redirection messages are handled. Don't read full message + and parse buffer for some header fields in HTLoadHTTP. Use common HTMIME.c + header parsing instead. Functions added/modified in HTMIME.c for storing + away the Location URL (if requested and found) and for stopping after the + headers. New private MIME types "message/x-http-redirection" and "www/debug" + to control this via HTStreamStack. Basic approach taken from newer W3C + libwww. Benefits: + - Removes actual bug that was reported: "Content-Location:" was falsely + recognized as "Location:". (long-standing bug) + [ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1199/msg00370.html ] + - Removes potential other bugs caused by inferior header parsing in HTTP.c + (including Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2). + - Should more header fields be needed in the future (also) for redirection + messages, we now get them automatically instead of having to add extra + code. + - Trace output now shows the same kind of info as for other responses. + In particular, Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2 header fields will normally be + visible. + - Statusline progress messages now actually show the HTTP response line + as intended, and it is recorded for LYNXMESSAGES:. (Long-standing error, + previously what was shown could be an empty string, or arbitrary parts + of the response, including HTML markup from the message body.) + - Adding redirection support for lynxcgi would now be simpler (although + currently not done) -KW +* HTErrorStream(), similar to W3C libwww, used in some cases for the above -KW +* remove check in HTParse() dated 98/09/08 which prevented unescaping of 8-bit + data (reported by KW) -TD +* refresh screen for TRST changes in partial display mode as early as possible. + This fixes a problem when the table finished below the screen bottom -LP +* remove global Newline_partial, use LYGetNewline() instead -LP +* adapt idea by VH as a Perl script cfg-html.pl which generates HTML form of + the lynx.cfg documentation -TD + +1999-11-30 (2.8.3dev.16) +* added -nozap command line option -KW + - In its basic form, it disables all checks for 'z' or ^G or other + "immediate" keys that otherwise happen while processing a request (for name + lookups, before or during loading of a document). Note that it also disables + paging through an incompletely loaded document during "partial display". + Normally, i.e. without this option, key input gets "swallowed" or "used up" + by the quasi-asynchronous checks even if they are not 'z' etc. or keys that + have meaning during partial display (meaningless keys just get ignored). + With this option, key input only gets read when lynx is ready to act on it. + - This can be used (a) by people who like to always have predictable + type-ahead (and don't care for 'z'apping and partial display scrolling), (b) + to achieve predictable reaction to keys if lynx is used under some scripting + environment that feeds it input like expect, and (c) for scripting a lynx + session by feeding it keyboard-like character input via input redirection + from a file or pipe (a simpler alternative to b, without the need for expect + or similar). + - Point (c) could be called "poor man's scripting". Note that the input has + to be provided in a raw form (as lynx would see it when it is actually sent + by keys), including raw control characters and escape sequences if necessary. + This patch does not change anything in the way such input is read and parsed, + other that what is explicitly described here. (This paragraph is only here + to explain the context, it does not describe new features.) P.m.s. will only + work as expected if lynx, on a given platform and with the display library + chosen, uses standard input for reading keyboard input. This is the case + with ncurses and possibly other curses implementations, but not with slang, + on Unix-like platforms, and cannot work on platforms where lynx gets keyboard + input in the form of platform- or implementation-specific keycodes (DOS, + Windows - except with Cygwin?) instead of as an octet stream. + - The -nozap option takes an argument. The basic functionality as already + described gets invoked if the argument is not a specially recognized keyword + (it is suggested that -nozap=full or -nozap=all be used). The only + recognized keyword is "initially". With -nozap=initially, additional special + behavior is invoked the first time (and *only* the first time) when lynx + encounters an error or EOF when reading key input. (Currently this will not + get detected if slang with USE_KEYMAPS is used.) In this, case, -nozap + reverts to the default state ('z' will be checked for again). Under some + conditions are true (key input was taken from stdin, and stdin was not + connected to a terminal), lynx will then attempt to reopen stdin, connecting + it to a terminal (stdout, stderr, and the process's controlling tty are + tried, in that order - this is subject to change if something would be more + reasonable). + - The -nozap=initially special behavior will get triggered if input comes + from a file or pipe (p.m.s. above) when the provided characters are "used + up". Normally lynx should then just exit. The special behavior hands + control of the session to the interactive user instead at that point. All + code for -nozap is only compiled in if preprocessor symbol MISC_EXP is + explicitly defined. +* ifdef'd some places for MINGW32 (diffs from Victor Schneider) +* remove 'host' variable in LYGetHostByName() that obscured module-level + 'host[]' array in HTTCP.c for _WINDOWS_NSL configuration (patch by SH, + discussion by KW) -TD +* the Newline variable is now PRIVATE except the mouse code in LYStrings.c -LP +* modify HTDOS.c for Wattcp targets (Watt-32 and original wattcp). When Lynx + is sitting idle in getxkey() waiting for a keypress, no network functions are + called. Hence no sockets are processed, "ICMP Echo replies" is sent etc. + This patch has been tested with SLang and '-DDJGPP_KEYHANDLER' I'm not sure + how to hook into 'SLkp_getkey()' or keyboard polling in performed under raw + PDCurses (Gisle Vanem <gvanem@eunet.no>) +* update docs for -tna instead of --sticky_inputs -KW +* document extended KEYMAP syntax in lynx.cfg -KW +* update Users Guide for KEYMAP changes, especially the TEXTAREA-related + sections -KW +* move text on ^V a bit to better place, provide a couple links to it -KW +* add blurb about TRST to Users Guide. Also mention external scripts for table + handling -KW +* revise section in Supported URLs on internal schemes. Toned down, provide + rationale, give examples -KW +* fix a few typos in README.TRST -LP +* use 'rand()' in NewSecureValue() -TD +* use a random number rather than a counter to name temporary files -TD +* change LYReadCFG.c to accept any leading punctuation in lynx.cfg as a comment + delimiter -TD +* eliminate some clutter with typecalloc/typecallocn macros -TD +* eliminate some clutter with new function LYBadHTML() -TD +* add checks for null pointers in CTRACE statements in HTML.c (based on report + by LV) -TD +* change realloc calls in SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE ifdef in StrAllocVsprintf() to + HTalloc, since older machines (e.g., SunOS 4.x) do not necessarily handle a + null pointer parameter to realloc -TD +* correct ordering of command-line options in LYMain.c -TD +* updates for files in lynx_help & keystrokes -PW +* clarify `General Configuration Instructions (all ports)' in INSTALLATION -PW +* remove "your lynx.cfg"/"compiletime settings" from '='Info Page -LP +* add a note to Lynx_Users_Guide.html#lynx.cfg on "g lynxcfg:" -LP,HN +* change LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: to a link from LYNXCFG: -LP +* slightly reorganize partial mode logic: 'display_partial' variable is now + initialized directly in HText_new(), no need for specialized semaphore any + more -LP +* Allow KEYMAP directives in lynx.cfg of extended form + KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:editaction[:sel], where lynxkey and lynxaction are + as before, editaction is a line-editor action like FORW, BACK, ERASE etc. + and sel selects the line-editor style to be affected (as a number, starting + with 1 for the Default Binding; or 0 for all styles (the default); or a + negative number -n meaning "all line-editor styles except n"). See Line + Editor Help pages for keywords to use as editaction. This includes PASS + (which was already implemented), for "passing" on the key when line-editing + form fields so that the normal lynxaction will be invoked. + (KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:DIRED is also still possible for defining a Dired + mode binding). + This is based on a patch from IZ which introduced combined definitions + in a .lynx-keymaps file in the form: + setkey "\200s" LAC:LEFT_LINK/BACKW # C-left + setkey "\200t" LAC:RIGHT_LINK/FORWW # C-right + Combined definitions in .lynx-keymaps are also supported in this patch, but + the syntax was changed to use another ':' instead of '/' as separator. Note + that there is no need to support .lynx-keymaps (i.e., compile with + USE_KEYMAPS defined) for using the extended KEYMAP lynx.cfg directive with + this patch -KW +* avoid access to uninitialized members in TRSTable.c -KW +* limit span values accepted for TRST with TRST_MAXCOLSPAN and TRST_MAXROWSPAN, + which can be changed in userdefs.h. Without imposing a limit, attempts to + trick lynx into allocating huge blocks of memory (which might cause thrashing + without apparent reason) with something like ROWSPAN=10000000 are just too + easy -KW +* moved definition of SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE to userdefs.h. You may want to + undefine it for a platform where running out of memory is a frequent problem + (DOS?), although the effect won't be very pronounced. Used in TRST code to + affect size of some allocations (also used as before for + HTSprintf0/HTSprintf) -KW +* implement COLSPAN=0 and ROWSPAN=0 according to HTML 4.01 (not HTML 4.0). The + span extends until the end of the current column group and row group (i.e. + next THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY), respectively; or until the end of the row or table, + respectively, if there is no containing group (thus acting as per HTML 4.0). + Also cancel effect of all ROWSPANs at a THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY boundary (problem + with other browser described and behavior proposed by G James Berigan in + <http://www.war-of-the-worlds.org/html/span-vs-group.html>) -KW +* 'prev_target' is now PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c [defined outside of mainloop()]; + this undoes some dev.15 changes. -LP, KW +* replace HText_pageDisplay() calls from partial mode (LYUtils.c and + HTFormat.c) with LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() function implemented in + LYMainLoop.c, it simply calls HText_pageDisplay() but has access to + LYMainLoop.c PRIVATE variables. -LP, KW +* make ^X a prefix key in all Line Edit styles. That means ^V should never be + needed any more to invoke the special textarea commands (but it's still + supported). Updates to help files to reflect this change -KW +* don't produce a link from the KEYMAP page to a help file. The one we used to + use doesn't really help -KW +* correction in code executed after textarea external editing (that determines + when to prompt for re-wrapping): use start_anchor not anchor_ptr. Without + this correction, invalid memory access could occur. (This was probably also + responsible for producing the prompt when it shouldn't be produced in some + cases, as has been reported.) -KW +* some tweaks of Novice mode help lines: don't show wrong key "to delete all + text in field" (FORM_NOVICELINE_TWO); replaced an occurrence of <delete> with + <backspace>. In some cases (e.g., disabled fields), prefer no info to wrong + info -KW +* extended KEYMAP option: additional field can specify DIRED to request + mapping in the Dired mode key_override table rather than the normal keymap + table. Documented the DIRED field and default override mapping in + lynx.cfg -KW +* corrected KEYMAP display for dired mode. It could display the normal binding + when that wouldn't actually be used, for example if a key is bound to + DO_NOTHING for DIRED. The logic deciding whether to show a separate line for + uppercase letters was only looking at the normal keymap -KW +* reset the edit_mode flag (indication of Dired mode) in various places, so the + flag doesn't stat TRUE after a new page has been loaded. For example, + invoking the forms based 'O'ptions page from a Dired directory view would + leave the Dired key bindings enabled within the Options page -KW +* for LYNXMESSAGES: page of recent statusline messages, removed setting of the + LYforce_no_cache flag in getfile(). Set the flag in LYMainLoop.c instead, + but only for following a link. This makes the page act more like a normal + no-cache document, for example returning to it via PREV_DOC does not cause an + automatic update. The special handling in LYMainLoop.c is necessary because + the link to LYNXMESSAGES: appears on the History Page, and following a link + from the History Page (as well as some other generated user interface pages) + normally implies overriding of no-cache behavior which we don't want in this + case -KW +* in LYNXMESSAGES: page, number recent statusline messages in historic order, + starting with 1 for the oldest. This should make it more obvious that they + are listed latest-first. Add "(No messages yet)" text if there are no + messages. Removed generation of invalid <pre> -KW +* use a temporary file instead of the normal .lynxrc file for saving and + restoring current settings in reload_read_cfg(). This avoids unexpected side + effects of lynx.cfg reloading (LYNXCFG://reload action), i.e. silent + modification or first-time generation of .lynxrc contents. In principle this + should make reloading of lynx.cfg usable for accounts that don't allow saving + of personal settings (i.e. option_save restriction, implied by -anonymous) + if other restrictions don't forbid it; but currently the option_save + restriction is still obeyed for saving to the temporary file (so that + reloading of lynx.cfg is prevented) -KW +* tweaks for LYNXCFG: and LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: pages: honor REUSE_TEMPFILES + setting if pages need to be regenerated, and clean up the memory for holding + the file URLs in free_lynx_cfg(). Recover if the tempfile has unexpectedly + disappeared, by regenerating it. Also regenerate tempfile if NOCACHE key + ('x') is used. Added extra checks before doing automatic uncaching of + previous page in LYNXCFG://reload code, to test whether the previous page is + really a LYNXCFG: view -KW +* corrected problems with "show color" in forms Options page. Omit "ON" choice + if color is not possible (but saving allowed). When option_save restriction + was in effect, the ON/OFF initialization was wrong (resulting in unwanted + toggling of color each time options were changed in an anonymous account) -KW +* tweaks of reload_read_cfg() for retaining "show color" setting and for + updating display_lines (user_mode may have changed) -KW +* change for HTParse: if there is a hostname part, recognize a '?' as ending + it if there are no further slash characters -KW +* tweaks in configure.in and INSTALLATION: describe correctly what + --disable-dired-override does. Rename --disable-dired-archive to + --disable-dired-dearchive. Clarified INSTALLATION text for + --disable-full-paths. Changed some "define" to "prevent defining" -KW +* don't try to put cursor in last screen position for hiding in + show_main_statusline if -show_cursor/SHOW_CURSOR is on. The show_cursor + behavior may have been turned on to avoid problems with curses libs or + terminal types that cannot deal with it correctly. On pages with no links, + for example SOURCE display, this may leave the cursor at the end of the + statusline message if show_cursor is on. This just restores previous + versions' behavior in that case. On pages with links, the movement is + unnecessary anyway since the cursor will move again to the current link -KW +* removed a bug in automatic textarea growing. Textarea would grow by + one line unnecessarily if enter was used on the last input line on a + screen (if that was not actually the last line in the textarea). New + function HText_TAHasMoreLines() to help with this -KW +* revision of "nonsticky" behavior / options. Got rid of "sticky" terminology. + Renamed the controlling option to TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION and command line + flag -tna. + Compiling in of this mode can be disabled, see in userdefs.h under + TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION. Two versions of "Textfields Need + Activation" mode are provided. The default mode (simpler yet better IMO) + highlights an inactive selected text input fields like a current normal + anchor. The alternative variant (may go away later?) behaves like VH's + previous implementation and gets used when compiling with + -DINACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH. + Many bugs that would occur in somewhat unusual circumstances are fixed, for + both variants. (Action of various commands on TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields, + interaction with mouse selection, ...) Selecting an inactive input field with + the mouse will activate it. Various tweaks to make sure selecting a field in + this way will put the editing cursor at the right position (even if the line + had been scrolled / might be scrolled on entering the line editor), at least + with NCURSES mouse support. Also, -show_cursor now in general works as + expected. (In the INACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH variant, cursor may sometimes end + up on the statusline after error messages.) -KW +* treat input lines of the same textarea more like one entity, as far as + "Textfields Need Activation" is concerned, as long as movement among those + lines is with PREV_LINK/UP_LINK/LPOS_PREV_LINK/NEXT_LINK/DOWN_LINK/ + LPOS_NEXT_LINK or ACTIVATE keys (the last one only if TEXTAREA_AUTOGROW is + defined, for consistency with line-appending behavior). I.e. moving among + textarea lines with those keys automatically activates ('enters') the new + field for line editing if the previous one was activated -KW +* modified statusline messages to be more appropriate and specific on non- + activated form fields. (The additional messages are not used or compiled + in if TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION isn't defined.) Avoid unnecessary + repainting/refreshing of the physical statusline in many cases of moving + among fields and links. Make sure the additional lines shown in Novice + mode are also appropriate -KW +* modified line editor behavior on "disabled" form text fields: instead of + disabling all non-terminating edit keys, allow those that never modify the + field contents. The user can now scroll through a long value in a disabled + field with the arrow keys, rather than being stuck at the end -KW +* the ncurses mouse popup window would overlap the statusline in Novice mode. + Limit the overlap to border area (so at least no significant text gets + corrupted) -KW +* modified code for stickiness of the second kind (ex-STICKY_FIELDS) according + to preliminary proposal from Vlad. Named LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT. + Does not depend on any conditional compilation symbols, and is now unrelated + to the other kind of "stickiness" discussed above. See lynx.cfg. This isn't + optimal yet (LAKABOFTIF discussion etc..), but better than leaving it as it + was -KW +* made default width of textarea fields (if no COLS attribute given) depend on + window or screen width, instead of using a fixed default of "60". I.e. for + wider windows make better use of available space, and for narrows windows + avoid wrapped textarea lines. Take the usual left/right margins (depending + on current block style) into account. But for -dump don't make fields longer + than 60 anyway (they will just show up as blocks of underscores anyway, not + showing text content) -KW +* changes in code used to create new bookmark file after a bookmark has been + 'R'emoved. Change should only affect Unix. Basically, revert back to + behavior used before 2.8.1dev.8 for "normal" files (no symlinks or extra + hard links). I.e. use rename / maybe try "mv" instead of "cp", then change + permission bits explicitly. Using "cp" means running the risk of losing or + truncating the user's bookmark file if for example the disk became full + (although these occasions should be rare - the scratch file we are trying + to copy or rename was written just before without error, usually on the + same filesystem). Some more comments in LYBookmark.c. Note: if you like + your bookmark files, make backup copies of them anyway... -KW +* changed F1 key bindings so it always invokes DWIMHELP, also in the Line + Editor (for all three Binding tables). This means that pressing F1 (if you + have it, and it is correctly mapped and recognized) while in a text form + field will now bring up the Line Editor Help Page for the currently selected + line edit style. Other keys bound to HELP by default ('?', 'h') remain + unchanged, they still always go to the main Help Page -KW +* don't let DWIMHELP show Line Editor help for a text input field that is + disabled -KW +* don't mangle a -cookie_file like /home/user/.lynx_cookies.~1~, only interpret + the '~' as reference to HOME if it's right at the beginning and followed by + '/' and then some more.

Old lynx with + 900K html file loaded as startfile occupied 30M of virtual memory, lynx + with patch applied occupied 5 Mb on the same file. Old code is still + accessible by defining OLD_STYLECHANGE. + + I spent 4 hours debugging attempting to write/fix code that cleans up the + memory allocated in LYPrettySrc.c, but Lynx.leaks shows that I didn't + succeeded. I fear that leak detection stuff is broken - I checked/traced + the code very carefully several times. +> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW: +* for confirmation prompts (HTConfirm), also accept English letters 'Y', 'y', + 'N', 'n' as responses. If characters different from those are derived from + the first letters of the translation of "yes" and "no" in a localized lynx, + the latter will still be the ones that appear in the prompt text and will + have precedence. Message translations using multibyte character sets should + continue to *not* translate "yes" and "no". Added a note to that effect. +* small update for some chartrans tables, minor comment changes. +* for Unix, use LYSystem instead of system for invoking telnet, rlogin, + rtn3270 commands. + [ For some non-Unix systems, LYSystem messes around with the passed command + string in various ways, and does some other stuff for DJGPP. So no change + for those, since I assume it worked before. For Unix the change prevents + the following occurring with ncurses (at least if USE_SIGACTION is + defined): + - access some (valid) telnet://some.host URL. + - within telnet client, escape to command level (usually '^]') + - suspend (usually 'z' or ^Z) + - resume (fg). Lynx process gets woken up, redraws lynx screen, + screen & tty state get messed up. ] +* another tweak for display refreshing when text previously displayed + had UTF-8 (for ncurses) - a check in display_page was missing. +* corrected stupid problem in LYGetFileInfo - invalid memory access. +* corrected and extended handling for textarea INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA + (or DWIMEDIT), the previous patch wasn't quite right: + - now really truncate very long lines as intended for INSERTFILE, instead of + wrapping with loss of one character. + - for EDITTEXTAREA (DWIMEDIT), implement wrapping instead of truncation + (Rationale for the difference: user's editing work shouldn't be lost if we + can avoid it; it is only temporarily stored in a file which may be + unrecoverable, different from the typical INSERTFILE case.) If, upon + returning from the external editor, lines are encountered that don't fit in + the displayed width of the textarea fields, the user may be given the + option to wrap to that width. (This prompt may not be given when the first + such line has no suitable spaces for breaking - the file may be binary + garbage after all, not worth fixing up too much.) Line breaking is + attempted at spaces if possible (using isspace() for checking), but not if + the only available spaces are close to the beginning of a line. An attempt + is made to join the wrapped part of a line (if not too long) with the next + line if it is not indented, by suppressing the next line break (if not too + far away). Some other heuristics are used that work reasonably well for + normal text paragraphs. + If the above mechanisms fail, or the user did not confirm wrapping when + prompted, very long lines will still be wrapped to fit into the buffer size + (around 1024 chars). + [ The wrapping works quite nicely in "normal" cases - please try it! ] +* mouse action in popups would lead to call of fancy_mouse() with wrong row + number, which could lead to messed-up display as well as invalid memory + access. +* The previous changes in link redrawing made things worse instead of better + for UTF-8 display with ncurses (without color style). This time (using + wredrawln, not touchline) it should really get better... + [ The UTF-8 related changes would need testing with non-ncurses curses libs, + if anyone has one of those AND a working UTF-8 environment - late xterm + betas(?) from Tom's site should do. If the functions used for ncurses are + available in other curses libs, the code should probably look the same as + for ncurses. ] +* SGML.c to compile without --enable-prettysrc (reported by HN) -KW +* fixes an invalid memory problem from previous patch +* adds alignment inheritance from COLGROUP / COL / THEAD / TFOOT / TBODY. +* remove some logic from LYmbcsstrlen() that gave an incorrect count for + the number of cells displaying multibyte characters, resulting in too-few + cells being highlighted (reported by HN, SH) -KW +* added support for ROWSPAN attribute of TD and TH to TRST. This only + reserves the appropriate amount of space in subsequent lines. + [ Pages that show off ROWSPAN nicely: + <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/domain-hello.html> + and related ones for other "domain"s. (Verify that there really + is a ROWSPAN= in the current version.) View with a screen width + of 100. With 80 there is some kind of problem, compare both + ^V settings... ] +* some corrections in TRST code. +* change initialization order of key escape sequence mappings for slang, so + that terminfo/termcap information always overrides defaults that may + conflict. +* minimal memory cleanup / leak prevention for EXP_FILE_UPLOAD error + cases in GridText.c. +* in HText_SubmitForm, don't change the post_content_type of the + passed in newdoc structure unless that is really wanted. +* tweaked UTF-8 prevention of display library wrapping/truncation to make + better use of available width for centered text, and to not apply if dumping + to stdout. +* for UTF-8 output with ncurses, do a clearok in display_page also if the page + that was *previously* displayed had UTF-8 characters. Without this there + were still display glitches. +* made previous changes to SGML.c and HTMLDTD for handling OBJECT more generic. +* minor tweaks, cleanups, glitch removal in previous changes. +* better tracking of HTSprintf0/HTSprintf with --enable-find-leaks + (-DLY_FIND_LEAKS). This can be disabled in LYLeaks.h by removing the + definition of LY_FIND_LEAKS_EXTENDED. +* added variant behavior in StrAllocVsprintf to make HTSprintf0/HTSprintf use + less memory allocation calls and keep its temporary string buffers across + calls. The buffers then only grow and never get cleaned up. This is enabled + by defining SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE in HTString.c, disable the definition there + in case of problems. +* added code so HTSprintf0/HTSprintf can use vasprintf() in some situations, + which should be more efficient. It also works with --enable-find-leaks + (EXTENDED or not). This only comes into play if USE_VASPRINTF is defined + (not defined automatically anywhere). + [ For me (some Debian glibc version), the prototype for this function + is in stdio.h but only gets included with an explicit -D_GNU_SOURCE. ] + [ Which of the four combinations with/without vasprintf, with/without + SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE is better (if any) remains to be tested. I have seen + drastic differences under leak tracking, but that's just too much + different from a normal situation to count for anything. ] +* Some minor leaks fixed. (LYMainLoop.c) + +[ Had to make owner_address and ownerS_address file-wide PRIVATE's + instead of auto to unleak them. Could be taken out of more + argument lists now. ] + +* HTFile.c: correction in FormatNum (could duplicate fields for some + LIST_FORMAT settings), avoid some HTSprintf0 calls in FormatStr. +* replaced calls to HTSprintf with calls to HTSprintf0 in various files. +* added missing include of LYLeaks.h in LYPrettySrc.c. But disabled memory + tracking there, too many allocations show up as leaks. +* allow digits in tagspec for -prettysrc. +* the 'fixit' change of 1999-05-16 didn't really let LYConvertToURL() revert to + the right old behavior in the non-'g' use. Now return a file URL for the + nonexisting file in the relevant situation again, as before 1998-03-25, + instead of an erroneous "file://localhost" which (on Unix-like systems at + least) would result in access to the root directory. This change (like the + changes of 1999-05-16 and 1998-03-25) only matters for strings that aren't + already in absolute URL form, don't start with a slash (or, for DOSPATH + systems, other path separator) either, and don't get turned into remote URLs + by successful 'guessing' and DNS lookup. None of the changes affect VMS. +* protect INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA from generating memory access violations + if the inserted file has lines that are too long for the buffer used. An + alert message is issued and the long lines are truncated. Also don't exit if + memory allocation fails for the buffer to hold the whole file, since the only + reason for the failure may be that the file is too huge when otherwise lynx + has enough memory. +* improved handling of some invalid constructs in SGML, especially + '<' followed by various characters; don't lose those characters from + what gets displayed for -prettysrc. +* a pre-filled TEXTAREA text that needed charset translation could cause + use of an invalid pointer when building the page, resulting in garbage + data being displayed (or worse). The problem was in HTML.c, not related + to TEXTAREA editing or other related new functions. + [ preceding three were partially already in previous patch ] +* recognize '<?' as introducing an SGML PI. Within most elements' content (or + outside of any elements) this makes no effective difference except for TRACE + messages and -prettysrc, the input is still junked up to the next '>' as for + a completely invalid tag. Within PCDATA elements the PI is now also ignored + instead of being treated as character data, this makes a difference for + example in a TEXTAREA in SortaSGML mode. (PI's aren't really expected to + occur in the middle of HTML, but are used at the beginning of XHTML documents + and other XML documents.) +* the earlier change of TEXTAREA handling (treating as SGML_PCDATA, SortaSGML + only) created a problem, some lynx special characters were passed on as data + characters in the field contents and would mess up line editing and possibly + the submitted form data. Actually the problem also existed before, but only + for non break space, soft hyphen etc. encoded directly as character data + (not NCRs or entities). Resolved by telling SGML.c not to generate lynx + special chars for some element contents (currently only TEXTAREA), with new + flag Tgf_nolyspcl. +* corrected some logic errors in LYUCFullyTranslateString. Special attribute + characters are now more often translated to real characters when 'Back' flag + is set, and should now be translated to the *right* characters for the target + charset. (They were sometimes converted to ISO-8859-1 values when the 'to' + charset was different.) +* added a missing significant cast in UCReverseTransChar. +* for scrollbar mouse clicking, use codes that work independent of current + line-editor key bindings. +* better calculation of "subjective distance" from next anchor for mouse. + Change of 1999-07-30 had various problems, it wasn't quite intuitive. Use + scaled numbers for finer granularity. Don't make "basin of attraction" too + wide, or it becomes hard to find a "background" spot to click on that doesn't + affect a link if a page has a high density of links. + [ For example with a pair of fields: + Submit Reset + xxx + clicking in any of the positions marked 'x' on the next line would + select the first field, not the second. That was not an improvement. ] +* functions LYmbcsstrlen, LYno_attr_mbcs_case_strstr, and LYno_attr_mbcs_strstr + in LYStrings.c where unclear about the concept of 'printable' or 'physical' + used for some returned values in the CJK case. Callers expected number of + display cells, implemented was number of 'characters' counting full-width + characters as 1 instead of 2. Now these functions take an additional + argument 'count_gcells' that tells them how to count. + This removes some long-standing, somewhat obscure problems with search target + highlighting under CJK display character sets, as well as new (and less + obscure) CJK problems introduces by the latest changes for highlighting. + Also fixed some details in the *strstr functions. The positioning of the + highlighting in CJK mode should now be correct and work as expected (as for + other display character sets) for anchors, search targets, and combinations + of both. +* reorganized LYOpenTempRewrite. It should finally make sense for systems + without HAVE_TRUNCATE defined. +* corrected SNACat (was unused). +* changes for SUP and SUB: Render SUP visibly as a '^' character if it needs + to be separated from a preceding character in order to prevent + misinterpretation. The test currently used is isxdigit for the the preceding + character. Render <SUB> and </SUB> always as brackets '[' and ']' + respectively. SUB is mostly used in technical material while SUP occurs + frequently in pages of general nature where it is not essential, therefore + the different treatment. + +1999-10-21 (2.8.3dev.13) +* revert a change from dev.4 which disabled getbkgd support in PDCurses -DK +* modify ifdef for USE_QUOTED_PARAMETER to include __CYGWIN__, else names such + as "telnet.sh" are translated to "telnet" -DK +* improve/simplify scrollbar support -IZ +* implement LYNXMESSAGES:/ page using non-tempfile approach -LP +* correct an assignment to last_kcode, broken by restructuring of LYMainLoop.c + in dev.11 -SH +* tweak LYExecv() to exclude SH_EX conditional (dired commands didn't work + on non-Windows platforms when SH_EX defined) -LP +* fix a potential out-of-range pointer in HTParse - JB +* fix a small leak in the statusline history page - JB +* restore DELEL lineedit key binding in the Alternate map (which apparently was + changed in -dev.4 to the DELNW function) to the ^K key -KED +* LYMainLoop.c: remove a dozen of unnecessary `refresh_screen' flags from + LYK_HISTORY, LYK_PRINT, LYK_LIST, LYK_ADDRLIST, LYK_VLINKS where a new html + page is generated (any document update that may be displayed in "partial + display" mode need not set `refresh_screen' flag) -LP +* correct some typos in cernrules.txt -VH +* move declaration of LastDisplayChar to make GridText.c compile with DJGPP -LP +> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW: +* HTFTP.c: (already sent w/o description - this is updated to dev.10) + - interrupted_in_next_data_char was not being reset. That could make all + subsequent FTP directory listings fail (by showing an empty directory) + after receipt of one directory listing had been interrupted. + - be nice, send quit before closing at least in the normal (non-interrupted + and successful) case. Some servers (wu-ftpd at least) otherwise complain + with "You could at least say goodbye" which in turn causes unnecessary RST + packets. To minimize round-trip delays, the QUIT is sent before we start + reading the returned data (but after the initial response to our retrieval + command). + - always close data connection immediately after we are done reading from it, + also for directory requests. This was already the case for file requests. + Some servers (including recent wu-ftpd beta) wait for indication that we + closed before proceeding. + - keep better track of closed sockets. Some more trace messages. + Some comments corrected. +* tabular representation for simple tables. See included file README.TRST. +* made User-Agent warning more friendly, and more specific. Tell the user what + lynx expects in order to avoid the warning. On the other hand, issue an + equivalent warning when -useragent is used. Change documentation + accordingly. +* don't send User-Agent header at all if it somehow would be blank. +* indicate on forms 'O'ptions Screen which options are not saved to .lynxrc. +* disable the form fields in the 'O'ptions Screen if the screen is generated + when FORMS_OPTIONS code is compiled in but not actually active. +* LYPrint.c: In subject_translate8bit (see OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET + option), use higher level function to charset-translate mail Subject + line, rather than low-level UCTransCharStr. +* UPPER8, UCForce8bitTOUPPER: was severely broken for UTF-8 display, making + WHEREIS search for strings containing non-ASCII characters impossible (and + probably with other bad effects). Now case mapping may still be wrong, but + at least identical strings compare as equal. +* LYHistory.c: Entification for saved statusline messages happened twice by + mistake. +* HTFWriter.c: Made code for automatic decompression of bzip2 files + conditional on BZIP2_PATH. Such files should be treated as normal binary + files on systems without bzip2. The configure seems to always define + BZIP2_PATH, but it could be undefined manually. +* HTFWriter.c: Use LYRemoveTemp instead of remove in some cases, to avoid + keeping those files in the temp file list after they are long gone. +* HTTCP.c: Check whether port numbers in URLs are really numbers. +* HTPlain.c: + - deal with backspace formatting as used in formatted man pages. + (No highlighting, only avoid double output of characters) + - pass on 0xAD (soft hyphen) character in more cases. +* HTNews.c: Prevent some ways that could trick lynx into treating a regular + "news:" or "nntp:" URL as something else, like snewspost. Extra check in + LYNews.c whether posing is allowed. Return with an error message in some + cases of URLs that are too long, instead of silently truncating. Make HEAD + work again on news articles. Some memory leaks in error path removed. A + message tweak. +* HTFormat.c: HTStreamStack: avoid some unnecessary work, add a trace message + to show what is returned. +* SGML.c: some cleanup of ugly ifdefs, and of unnecessary abuse of global + variables. (still a lot left!) +* handle INCLUDE and CDDATA marked sections: output the contents. +* parse various elements differently that had/have special requirements or + hacks. Extend meaning of Tgf_strict for literal-like content modes. Use + SGML_CDATA in some cases (and treat it similar to SGML_LITTERAL), use + SGML_PCDATA for literal-like parsing (but if modified by Tgf_strict it's + more like regular SGML_MIXED). A '<' that would start a tag gets displayed + (since not element content is allowed that's just error recovery). Comments + now work in TEXTAREA instead of getting displayed as text (SortaSGML mode + only). +* minor tweak of sorta SGML handling for invalid end tag if start tag could be + validly omitted. +* more consistent and correct recognition of element names. The characters + "_-.:" don't end tag names. +* improved handling of '/' after element name in a tag: "<foo/>" is treated as + an empty element (as in XML). If we recognize "foo" as an empty element, do + nothing special; and if we recognize "foo" as a non-empty element; convert to + "<foo></foo>". "<foo/bar/" is treated as a shortref construct, by converting + to "<foo>bar</foo>" (for non-empty and recognized "foo"). This is not + general as it would have to be for or real SGML parser, in particular '/' is + only treated this way if it directly follows the element name, and it may not + even be quite right. It is better than the recovery lynx previously did in + these cases though. +* changed handling of include buffer which is used to pass back data + from HTML.c to SGML.c. Passing data upstream now works without strange + reordering effects even when SGML_character was already parsing data from + a previous include buffer. + Character set translation would happen several times on data passed back + to SGML_character in the include buffer for re-parsing. This is now + avoided. Well at least in most cases, and for characters that *can* be + translated, there are likely combinations of input and output character + sets where the assumptions made are still wrong. +* the start_element and end_element methods of structured stream class now + return a status code. Currently only used for the OBJECT stuff below. +* mostly HTML.c, SGML.c: Changed handling of OBJECT and MAP. + - avoid using the include buffer mechanism as much as possible. This + involves introducing some new special handling in SGML.c to change parsing + mode for element contents, and a way for HTML_{start,end}_element to signal + to SGML_character what it should do. In most cases when the OBJECT element + content should be parsed and displayed, SGML_character now only needs one + pass through the data. + - don't lose content when several OBJECTs are nested. + - in HTML 4, an OBJECT with USEMAP attribute can refer to a MAP within the + OBJECT's content, possibly within nested inner OBJECTs. Lynx would fail to + find the MAP in that case, now it doesn't. + - in HTML 4, MAP can contain arbitrary block elements in addition to AREA. + Lynx now shows such block content, even if it occurs within (possibly + nested) OBJECTs with USEMAP whose contents we would otherwise skip. + Sometimes we may show too much now, by generating a LYNXIMGMAP link as well + as showing block content or by showing more of the OBJECT content than what + is within a MAP, but that is preferable to losing data. + - treat an A tag with COORDS attribute as equivalent to an AREA when it is + within MAP, for the purpose of collecting links for LYNXIMGMAP. + - as a fallback, internally redirect a LYNXIMGMAP request to the position of + the MAP element in the normally rendered text of the document containing + the MAP, if it is known that the MAP element exists and just doesn't + contain any AREA (or equivalent A-with-COORDS) links. It is assumed that + in such a case there is some block content within the MAP that is rendered + normally. +* HTFile.c: new function LYGetFileInfo. +* HTAnchor.c: new function HTAnchor_findSimpleAddress. +* new function HTStartAnchor5. +* modified the way link text is (re-)drawn by function highlight. The bulk of + processing now happens in new function LYMoveToLink. The data of the + containing line is now scanned from the beginning, using the same logic as in + display_line to make sure that lynx and the display library have the same + idea of where in the line the link starts. In UTF-8 output mode, parts of + the line preceding the link are also repainted if this is necessary. + Refreshing of the physical line is forced if necessary in UTF-8 mode. For + anchors split across lines, the new approach is currently only used for the + first line. + This change is not in effect for lynx with color style. In that case + highlighting already is sometimes done in a similar similar, but not quite + the same, separate function. +* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for hypertext links. Now this is done + in the same pass as drawing the normal link text, in LYMoveToLink. This + avoids problems in UTF-8 display mode. It also avoids a lot of complicated + and extremely hard to understand older code in highlight(), but that code is + still there for use by lynx with color style and for other remaining cases + (non-hypertext anchors, second line highlighting). +* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for general text. Instead of first + writing each line's characters in display_line, then scanning again through + the line's data for portions to highlight and repainting those parts after in + display_page, this is now done in one pass within display_line. However, + this isn't (yet?) done for lynx with color style which still uses the old + code. +* these last three changes reduce problems that occur when using UTF-8 display + character set (in an appropriate terminal environment that understands it, of + course). Most of them don't apply with color style lynx, so it continues to + have more UTF-8 problems. Pages with mostly ASCII characters should be more + or less ok. Problems that otherwise are not visible become apparent in + search highlighting, and after ^Z / fg. +* GridText.c: More changes to deal with problems caused by using UTF-8 output + with a display library that isn't aware of it. Break line with UTF-8 before + curses does it. This causes lines that are too short, effectively the + rightmost part of a line cannot be used if there are UTF-8 encoded + characters. The alternative, letting curses wrap the line when it thinks it + got too long, is worse, so do it in lynx code instead. +* avoid memory overrun for very long lines in UTF-8 mode. Avoid splitting line + in the middle of a multibyte UTF-8 character. +* test for SHOW_WHEREIS_TARGETS instead of 'defined(FANCY_CURSES) || + defined(USE_SLANG)'. +* initialize new textarea lines created by insert_new_textarea_anchor with + current display character set for value_cs. (The "cloned" value can be stale + in some cases if the user changed the display character set after the + document was last loaded - normally that should not happen). For a file + inserted into a textarea with INSERTFILE use new function LYGetFileInfo + instead to determine the file content's charset. Thus -assume_local_charset + and conventions based on file suffix should be honored. +* for Unix, added more specific error message if calling external editor for + textarea failed, based on the status returned by system(). +* it is possible to require an additional prompt before Enter in + an input field causes form submission: define TEXT_SUBMIT_CONFIRM_WANTED, + explained in userdefs.h. +* some small changes to prevent overstepping string boundary (HTParse.c) +* extended SUFFIX option, added SUFFIX_ORDER option, see documentation in + lynx.cfg. The long list of built-in file suffix rules in HTInit.c can now be + disabled, either at compile time - see userdefs.h - or at run time. The + equivalent functionality is now available in lynx.cfg for those who want it. + Added comments, see HTFileInit in HTInit.c. +* various tweaks of built-in file suffix rules. +* allow XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND to be empty (in lynx.cfg) or NULL (in userdefs.h), + just don't use a default X viewer for image types in that case. +* moved UCGetUniFromUtf8String from LYCharUtils.c to UCAux.c. +* renamed LYUCFullyTranslateString -> LYUCTranslateHTMLString, and + LYUCFullyTranslateString_1 -> LYUCFullyTranslateString. +* tweaks for special chars in (what is now) LYUCFullyTranslateString, in + obscure cases (input fields of type password prefilled with unusual content) + lynx would pass text back to the server with special characters (soft hyphen + or non-break space) expressed as lynx-internal code values. +* added some replacement characters or strings to various chartrans tables. +* experimental command line option -convert_to, only compiled in if new + MISC_EXP symbol is defined. This takes a string in the form of a MIME type, + which can also be combined with an appended ";charset=" parameter. (This + needs shell quoting of course). The charset value can be used to set the + display character set from the command line. The MIME type can be one of the + non-official types used internally, for some interesting effects (crashing + lynx not excluded). Try www/download, www/source, www/dump, or some + unrecognized string. +* fixed HTMainText_Get_UCLYhndl, it was returning the wrong kind of charset + handle (a "UChndl", which is different from a "LYhndl" or "UCLYhndl" etc., + and shouldn't be directly accessed by arbitrary bits of lynx code - it should + be regarded as private to the chartrans mechanism). +* protect various printf-like calls against crashes from strings with '%': + LYSyslog. +* LYDownload.c: made parsing of LYNXDOWNLOAD: URL slightly more robust. +* disabled some broken pieces. + +1999-10-14 (2.8.3dev.12) +* fixes for restructured LYMainLoop.c (reported by PG, LP) -TD +* minor fix for makeutcb, to compile with K&R C -TD + +1999-10-13 (2.8.3dev.11) +* restructured LYMainLoop.c, so the main switch statement calls functions + rather than doing everything inline.

Better logic for keeping track of state, some + parts just didn't work right. Workaround for wrong data in some distributed + font files. Minor memory leak removed -KW +* modify test/c1.html to use tabs for better formatting, added comments -KW +* modify HTFTP.c for better conformance with RFC959. Among other things, one + major purpose was ending the control conversation cleanly, at least in the + normal case, to get rid of the "221 You could at least say goodbye.." + responses from wu-ftpd servers and resulting RST traffic.

This + can prevent the impression that Lynx hangs because the prompt is not + completely visible. There should be a better way to ensure that all prompts + are recognizable as such (at least with "normal" screen widths) -KW +* use more of the available statusline width for showing cookie name and value + in normal cookie prompts -KW +* handle \" in quoted cookie values, so that the quote char doesn't end the + value string -KW +* write quoted cookie values to cookie file with the quotes ('"' chars). When + the cookie file is read, assume that quoted strings are quoted cookie values. + It would be better to have a separate flag stored, but we are limited by the + choice of the Netscape-compatible file format. This should resolve Debian + bug #35523 -KW +* handle empty value strings like any other cookie values: they can be kept in + the cookie jar (in memory), and can be written to and read from the cookie + file -KW +* more checking whether a line read from a cookie file is complete -KW +* write out second field in cookie file lines a TRUE or FALSE depending on + whether the domain can be used for suffix matching or has to match + completely. This seems to be how Netscape uses it. We don't actually use + this field when reading a file (presence of a leading dot in the domain value + tells us what we need to know), but this should improve behavior for people + sharing a cookie file between Lynx and a Netscape browser (although such + sharing shouldn't be recommended) -KW +* treat case as insignificant in cookie domains more consistently -KW +* remove remnants of FROM_FILE domain behavior, it was unused -KW +* add some clarifications in lynx.cfg regarding cookies -KW +* entify strings when adding them to LYNXMESSAGES: stack -KW +* save HTAlwaysAlert messages for LYNXMESSAGES: page -KW +* generate TRACE output for prompts that use HTConfirm() or + HTConfirmDefault() -KW +* make sure force_old_UCLYhndl_on_reload is initialized and reset properly -KW +* minor tweaks (LYCharUtils.c, LYMain.c, LYPrint.c) -KW +* flush Lynx.leaks file after writing each memory leak record but before + freeing the memory block, to ensure the info is on disk if something goes + seriously wrong (i.e., FREE causes a signal) -KW +* more general checking in postoptions - `lynx LYNXOPTIONS:foo' now doesn't + crash -KW +* revived dired "install" functionality, more or less as it was (apparently) + originally meant to be used, but with various checks added. Compilation is + now conditional on new symbol OK_INSTALL. The "install" function is the + closest we have to a "copy file" function, and could be used instead; the + actual command executed depends on macros INSTALL_PATH and possibly + INSTALL_ARGS, one can define INSTALL_PATH for example to "/bin/cp" before + compilation to effectively get something like a dired "copy" function. Note + the the "install" function requires a special file in the home directory, + which can be customized, see samples/installdirs.html -KW +* new function HTURLPath_toFile in HTFile.c. Use it if we don't have a full + URL where HTnameOfFile_WWW was used previously, this avoids misparsing of + some unusual URL forms for files -KW +* other changes for dired support (KW): + - various corrections with respect to URL-unescaping: don't escape + too often or too little, dired operations could fail on filenames + with special characters + - avoid some unnecessary copying and allocation for filenames + - avoid some more static buffers + - add some buffer overflow checks +* make local directory display somewhat interruptible even without + partial page display -KW +* make do_readme in HTFile.c 8-bit clean -KW +* tweak in HTTP.c to avoid doing strlen() on received data that are to be + passed on raw; raw NUL bytes within the first block read could lead to data + loss -KW +* change newly introduced CAN_ANONYMOUS_* at end of userdefs.h to be FALSE by + default, to get behavior with -anonymous that is equivalent to 2.8.2 -KW +* handle some more common forms of mailcap $DISPLAY tests internally in + HTInit.c -KW +* correct a problem which appears when the curses library causes FANCY_CURSES + to be defined but not COLOR_CURSES: the code can call attrset() twice for + the same characters, thus replacing the original attribute with the new one. + Fix by using attron() instead (patch by Julian Coleman + <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>) +* modify LYonedot() so it does not change its parameter, avoiding corrupting + the name to be zipped (reported by DK) -TD +* modify LYDownload.c to skip over delimiter for file://localhost to avoid + treating it as part of the DOS filename -DK +* alter LYExecv() to only do an HTAlert if the return-code is zero, i.e., an + error was reported. This lets us reuse (and free) memory pointed to by + tmpbuf (reported by DK) -TD +* remove redefinition of lstat() and change test of stat() function with DJGPP, + which returns nonzero rather than negative on failure -DK + +1999-06-18 (2.8.3dev.2) +* move some of the path-manipulation from the DJGPP dired change into new + functions LYisAbsPath, LYisRootPath and LYLastPathSep -TD +* dired support with DJDPP -Igor B Poretsky, DK, TD + (patch adapted by DK from Igor B Poretsky, (Some corrections/rework by TD + also - must retest). + Some notes from DK: + + since this is DJGPP based, it may be incompatible with a called program + that uses a WATCOM DOS extender. I think I had this problem with a + precompiled binary for zip. The current zip binary doesn't have this + problem. + + The key to making this work with DJGPP is the __sysflags = 0x501d in + LYMain.c, since this lets the system() call handle multiple commands on one + line and allows the cd command to work across disks. + + I didn't look at Igor's changes to LYMainLoop.c as regards to the HTUncache + calls. He said he wasn't sure about this. + + This was tested with Info-Zip's zip and unzip, GNU tar, gzip, comp430d, + PKZIP, and PKUNZIP. This was only tested when built with slang. I don't + see where PDCurses is likely to cause a problem, however. + Problems: + + To make this work, I made lynx_edit_mode = TRUE in LYMainLoop.c. This does + not seem to be the correct solution. It seems that this should be handled + by the code in HTAccess.c, but I don't understand how this works. If + lynx_edit_mode isn't true, the dired menu doesn't appear with the "f" + invocation of LYK_DIRED_MENU. + + I'll try to explain this briefly, but this bug is very reproducible. If a + program is invoked from the dired menu which needs to interact with the + user, the system sometimes freezes and has to be rebooted. For example, a + call to unzip a zip archive where the files already exist has zip ask if + the file should be overwritten. If done initially after lynx is started, + no keystrokes are accepted and the system always hangs. If, however, any + file has been moved or had its name changed via the dired menu, then the + above problem doesn't occur. I have tried to see what changes after the + name change that fixes this problem, but I am stumped. Gzip and unzip seem + to have this problem, but PKUNZIP doesn't. +* correct most-recent LYNX_RELEASE_DATE (reported by KW) -TD +* change touchline() call in LYOptions.c to touchwin() in case anyone wants to + compile with BSD 4.4 curses (reported by IC) -TD +* modified ifdef for DECL_ERRNO to allow for errno to be a macro -TD +* ifdef'd the extern declaration of h_errno in HTTCP.c in case that name is + also a macro, e.g., for threaded code (reported by Mike Gravitz + <ddavid@lamar.ColoState.EDU> on AIX 4.3.1.0) -TD +* rename ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS to keep the names less than + 31 characters, and add configure option --enable-change-exec to set the + ENABLE_OPTS_CHANGE_EXEC ifdef -TD +* correct syntax of popup_choices() within + ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS ifdef (reported by IC) -KW +* modified some message texts, mostly for consistency -KW +* correct display of local file times in INFO screen -KW +* add null-pointer checks for buf2 variable in + exit_immediately_with_error_message(). Invalid memory access happens if + access to startfile fails but first_file is not true -KW +* change all ifdef's except on for VAX Ultrix that use the presumed predefined + symbol 'unix' to 'UNIX', which the configure script sets. Not all Unix + systems define this in their compiler -TD + From compiler warning on NetBSD 1.4 (report by JES): + deprecated symbol "unix" is no longer predefined +* add experimental file-upload, ifdef'd with EXP_FILE_UPLOAD and configured + with --with-file-upload (adapted from patch by RP) -TD +* document use of '|' pipes in PRINTER commands in lynx.cfg -TD +* add shell script man2hlp.sh, used that to generate lynx.hlp from lynx.man -TD +* SOURCE_CACHE: source_cache_file and source_cache_chunk are now members of + HTParentAnchor (where they should belong, not HText nor mutable globals). + Add one more parse setting member (verbose_img) to HText structure -LP +* correct spelling of ifdef for reload_read_cfg() (reported by KW) -LP +* minor docs tweaks -LP +* test/{sgml.html, unicode.html} files were badly broken for tagsoup mode + (incorrect html: extra <pre>..</pre> were added inside PRE mode in dev26) -LP +* fix back-slashes conversion for DOSPATH systems when expanding ~ to local + path (mostly affects information screen) -LP +* correct default value for --disable-persistent-cookies configure option + (reported by HenSiong Tan <tan@stat.psu.edu>) -TD +* uncomment --with-libjs configure option -TD + +1999-06-11 (2.8.3dev.1) +> minor corrections by TD, patch from KW: +* Key handling changes: + - Extended lynxkeycodes: a bit flag is used to indicate that the lower bits + of the value already are a lynxactioncode and need not be looked up again. + Reduces need for back and forth forward and reverse binding lookups; + currently only used in some places. + - Extended lynxkeycodes: several (currently three) bit flags are used to + indicate key modifiers. + - Added some macros for manipulating and mapping of these codes, see + especially LYKeymap.h, LKC_TO_LAC() etc. Added some comments about the + various kinds of codes. + - Added several editaction codes and flags for setting key modifier on next + key (i.e. for declaring keys as prefix keys, for the purposes of line + editing); for flagging a key for different action if same key is repeated; + for exiting input field line editing and passing a specific lynxactioncode + on; and for undoing 8-bit C1 -> 7-bit replacement transformation for some + chars. Added code to line-editor implementation to react to these new + editactions. Note that the mapping of lynxkeycode to lynxactioncode + outside of line editing, i.e. KEYMAP in lynx.cfg etc., ignores the + modifiers. The main loop just drops modifier flags or ignores the modified + key; modifier flags cannot be used in lynx.cfg KEYMAP 'keystroke' values. + - An ESC not recognized as part of an escape sequence can set the appropriate + modifier flag in LYgetch(), except for SLANG which normally uses a + different LYgetch() implementation. Interpreting an ESC prefix as modifier + is very useful for situations where a held-down Alt key (or some other key) + is encoded this way: linux console, kermit with emacs key mappings, + possibly xterm with '*eightBitInput: false'. OTOH it doesn't work for all + characters or in all situations. + - Extended syntax recognized in .lynx-keymaps file (which is only used if + compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined, which in turn depends on slang and + ncurses version): + (a) Meta-foo can be used to map an escape sequence to a key + modifier. + (b) LAC:foo can be used to map an escape sequence directly to a + lynxactioncode (actually, to an extended lynxkeycode that + encapsulates a lynxactioncode). + See examples added to samples/lynx-keymaps. + - Extended syntax of KEYMAP option, additional field can override line-editor + behavior. PASS documented in lynx.cfg. + - Extended syntax that can be used for specifying key in KEYMAP, some of the + forms allowed in .lynx-keymaps file are now additionally recognized, but + only if compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined. Left undocumented in lynx.cfg + (maybe subject to change). + - New "Bash-like" Line Editor binding. Adds several new emacs-like editing + functions. Adds tables for keys with modifiers (actually the same table is + currently used for all modifiers, to save some space). Most notably, ^X is + a prefix key to set a modifier flag. Keys with second function when + pressed twice are ^E^E and ^K^K. ESC is also recognized as setting a + modifier flag, in case it gets through without been having been handled in + LYgetch(). See new file keystrokes/bashlike_edit_help.html for more info. + The Bash-like Line Editor Bindings are only compiled in if compiled with + -DEXP_ALT_BINDINGS / configured with --enable-alt-bindings (but not subject + to a new macro). Implementation code for the new emacs-like functions + additionally ifdef'd with ENHANCED_LINEEDIT. + - Avoid dependency on DNARROW key binding when form field line-editing is + ended with Enter or Return key. + - Take setting of real_c/old_c into consideration after return from form + field line-editing. Previously there were some strange effects: + statusline messages would sometimes not appear when they should, the KEYMAP + command would sometimes not work when invoked with ^Vk while in a form + field. + - Make NOCACHE ('x') work for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields (i.e. forms with + a single text input field where Enter automatically submits). Of course + 'x' has to be typed as ^Vx while line-editing the field (or NOCACHE mapped + to a different key). Similarly allow DOWNLOAD, and HEAD to work for such + fields. Try to ensure that all permission checks that apply to other form + submissions are also done for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields, this wasn't the case + before. + - New key actions LPOS_PREV_LINK and LPOS_NEXT_LINK. They are like PREV_LINK + and NEXT_LINK, with the difference that, when moving to a form input or + textarea line, the last column position (relative to the field) is + remembered. They are not mapped by default, but mentioned in lynx.cfg. + - New key action DWIMHELP. It should give some context-sensitive help. + Currently the appropriate Line Editor Binding help page is shown if a form + input field is selected, otherwise it defaults to the main HELP page. + - New key action DWIMEDIT. Revert meaning of EDIT back to previous meaning: + always edit document file, not textarea content. DWIMEDIT acts like + EDITTEXTAREA if the current link is a form textarea or input field and + AUTOEXTEDIT was defined, and like EDIT otherwise. Also added slightly + different statusline message if form field external editing cannot be done + because editing is disabled: it shouldn't refer to "The 'e'dit command". + - Summary of reasonable ways to invoke external texarea editing (assuming + that it is desired to keep the action of 'e' to edit files at least outside + of input fields): + 1) KEYMAP 'e' to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^Ve. (if AUTOEXTEDIT is defined, + which is the case by default.) + 1a) KEYMAP <some other key> to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^V<some other key>. + 1b) KEYMAP <some other key> to EDITTEXTAREA, invoke ^V<some other key>. + 2) KEYMAP a key (function or control, not printable!) to EDITTEXTAREA + or DWIMEDIT, using PASS in the KEYMAP line. + 2a) Find some key whose LineEdit binding is already LYE_FORM_PASS, and + KEYMAP it to EDITTEXTAREA or DWIMEDIT. + 3) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings), + select Bash-like Bindings, + invoke ^E^E or ^X^E (or ESC ^E aka M-C-e), or + invoke ^Xe (or ESC e aka M-e), or + 3a) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings), + and without selecting Bash-like Bindings + (invoke ESC ^E aka M-C-e or ESC e aka M-e). + Bindings in parentheses under 3/3a may not work with slang unless a + tweaked .lynx-keymaps file is used. +* Other changes related to textarea handling: + - More appropriate message statusline message if GROWTEXTAREA or INSERTFILE + cannot be done because a textarea is not selected: it shouldn't refer to + "external editor". + - Check whether an editor is defined before trying to use it for textarea + editing. Generate message if spawning of external textarea editor failed. + - Allow INSERTFILE only if file access is not restricted. + - Enforce dotfiles restriction and "show dot files" setting for INSERTFILE. +* Mouse handling changes, mostly only if mouse support comes via ncurses: + - Re-enabled changing link by clicking in area *near* a link (but not on the + link text), but limit max. distance to 2 character positions. + - Make mouse popup menu disappear when it should, by applying the right magic + touchline() in popup_choice(). + - Lots of small tweaks to remove glitches in mouse handling, among them: No + left scrolling of long input fields on entering with mouse. Try to ensure + statusline is updated after mouse menu. Make menu actions work as + expected. Avoid acting on mouse events, especially invoking mouse menu, in + wrong context (e.g. while at a prompt), at least in many places. + - Clicking on left or right border of mouse menu now only moves selection. + - At right end of top/bottom line, where single click causes HISTORY action, + double click now causes VLINKS action. + - Allow to distinguish between submitting and just positioning into a + TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE input field. Single click positions, double click + submits, 'activate' from menu also submits. + - When initializing ncurses mouse, call mousemask() with only those bits set + that we may actually be interested in. +* Changes relevant for handling window size changes: + - For ncurses, changed the way how mainloop() notifies the curses library + about a window size change. The approach taken previously, and still used + if we are not using ncurses, has more overhead, can unnecessarily switch + out of the alternative screen buffer (and back) under xterm, and didn't + really make ncurses update the WINDOW structures for the new size in time. + - Other tweaks for size change: make sure curdoc.link is valid after + refresh. + - Detection of size changes in more situations: tolerate EOF from GetChar in + the (non-SLANG) LYgetch_for() in more cases if errno is EINTR, if this + happens check for a size change and generate trace output. Recognize + KEY_RESIZE from ncurses, check for a size change and generate trace output + when it occurs. + - Added NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH lynx.cfg option and -nonrestarting_sigwinch + flag. If set, lynx *may* react more immediately to window size changes + when running under xterm or similar. Whether this actually has an effect + depends on the implementation of sigaction() and on the behavior of the + curses (or similar) library when a read() (or other system call) is + interrupted by signals. + Depends on '#if HAVE_SIGACTION', which currently has to be defined by hand, + for example by 'make SITE_DEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. The command line flag + is only available on systems with HAVE_SIGACTION and SIGWINCH. + - Tweaks so that lynx in an xterm can survive when the window size is made + (probably temporarily) very small, for example 1x1. Avoid display_page's + work if it wouldn't be displayable anyway. Make display_title handle very + small screen widths, at least to the degree that it doesn't crash. +* Except for VMS or when DOSPATH is defined, set restore_sigpipe_for_children. + Fixes Debian bug #33853, maybe not really a bug but let's be nice. +* Changes in HTTCP.c: + - Added a CTRACE_FLUSH before creation of NSL_FORK child process. + - Block certain signals during creation of NSL_FORK child process, if + sigprocmask() and friends are available. This should prevent a rare + problem where sometimes the child process could be killed before it has a + chance to modify its signal handlers, resulting in screen corruption, a + seemingly hanging lynx, and/or other problems. It is assumed that + sigprocmask() etc. are available if HAVE_SIGACTION is true. It currently + has to be defined by hand, for example by 'make + SITE_LYDEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. + - Generate diagnostic messages for some failures of forked lookup. Depends + on HAVE_H_ERRNO. In particular, try to detect whether the child process + failed because of memory problems, and also fake a 'z' in that case to + short-circuit a URL guessing cycle. + - For most systems, generate more trace output for connection attempts, close + to the actual connect() and select() calls to prevent clobbering errno. + See SOCKET_DEBUG_TRACE. This should help diagnose some obscure + system-dependent problems that have occasionally been reported. +* Added some missing stuff for color handling to forms Option Menu code. +* Printing to screen sometimes didn't show anything for short texts, if screen + output was buffered (and ncurses makes stdout buffered). Added another + fflush(stdout) in send_file_to_screen(). +* Some checks for specific URLs (helpfilepath, lynxlistfile, and lynxjumpfile) + in LYGetFile.c were inappropriately case-insensitive for Unix. The + comparison is now case-sensitive except for VMS. This may need tweaking for + DOS and similar systems. +* Added additional LYNoRefererForThis check in getfile(), the one in mainloop() + could be missed for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields. Also moved other check for + whether to send Referer header earlier, and made it apply for URL types that + might be proxied. +* LYAddVisitedLink tried to regard documents with the same address but a + different title string as different documents, but this was coded wrong. + Removed ineffective comparison, but keep old title string if new title string + is empty. +* Correct long-standing logic error in MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING handling. + Apparently not many people are using it... +* Fix for traversal code to put the right address into the TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE + if a request fails after popping a document from the history stack (this can + only occur if a previous request for the same document had succeeded). Also + don't try to send mail in such a case if MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING is on. + Also prevent possible history stack underflow if this occurs on return to the + first document. +* According to lynx.cfg, error logging mail may be sent to ALERTMAIL if no + document owner is known, but this was not implemented; now it is. ALERTMAIL + is used if it is defined non-empty in userdefs.h. Of course normally it + should be left undefined. +* Fix for traversal code to reject form fields a bit earlier. This prevents + unnecessary lookups as well as adding of an empty line to the + TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE for each form field encountered. +* Format -crawl output as was documented in CRAWL.announce: with this switch, + link numbering is always off by default (userdefs.h and lynx.cfg defaults und + saved user preference are ignored) unless -number_links is given, and -crawl + -traversal format is now consistent with -crawl -dump with respect to link + numbering. As a side effect, -crawl without either -traversal or -dump now + also turns link numbering off unless -number_links is used (the meaning of + -crawl without either of these was undocumented), so it then acts effectively + as a (less powerful) negation of the -number_links switch. +* For -crawl -dump, the list of links was appended twice. Fixed. +* Check URL as well as title before deciding that a document should not be + pushed on the history stack because it looks like a generated special page. +* Made "Don't waste the cache" optimization in historytarget() subject to + additional checks, to avoid uncaching of the wrong document in some cases. +* LYSafeGets() would drop the last line from a file if it was not terminated. + Changed to return the unterminated line like fgets(). +* Clarifications on restrictions. "download" does not imply "disk_save" while + "print" does, this doesn't seem to make much sense but has been the behavior + for a long time. +* Restrictions inside_news, outside_news now apply to reading as well as + posting. The documentation (except for the corresponding comments in + userdefs.h) said that they apply to posting, while in fact they were + implemented for reading only. [Does nobody read this stuff???] Also, the + implementation only checked the flag for news: URLs, but not for nntp: + URLs, which doesn't make much sense given that the latter provide an + alternative way for most (if not all) purposes of the first. So now these + restrictions apply to news:, nntp:, newspost:, and newsreply: (but not to + snews:, snewspost:, or snewsreply:). +* Document -restrictions=externals. +* Some of the restriction stuff not added to VMS lynx.hlp file, since I'm not + quite sure whether the corresponding features work there at all. +* Changed restriction parsing so that "all" and "default" don't get ignored if + they appear as one of several items in the same list. +* Implement listing of current restrictions to stdout with new -restrictions=? + option. This should appear as the last command line option, otherwise the + effect of options appearing later may not be shown. The '?' may require + quoting. +* Made -restrictions= (without any option flags) act like -restrictions + (without equal sign either) as implied by documentation, i.e. list + recognized restriction options. +* LYRestricted has been greatly abused. Once upon a time it was a PRIVATE flag + in LYMain.c (then called anon_restrictions_set), used only to get the + precedence of various command line options right. Recently it has been + misused as a check (and as the only one) whether "anonymous restrictions" are + in effect. This undermines various assumptions: + - that -anonymous is basically an aggregate set of restrictions which could + be specified individually with -restrictions=. + - that individually listed restrictions (-restrictions=...) act as expected, + and can be used to restrict various aspects in a useful manner. + - that -validate implies the strongest restrictions, except for what is + explicitly exempted (i.e. 'g'oto for http/https URLs). + Use specific restrictions instead: + - new "compileopts_info" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: - for anonymous default see + userdefs.h + - new "lynxcfg_info" for LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h + - new "lynxcfg_xinfo" for extended LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see + userdefs.h + - new invisible "goto_configinfo" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: & LYNXCFG: for + anonymous default, see userdefs.h + - additionally check existing "option_save" for LYNXCFG://reload/ - + always restricted by anonymous default + ("invisible" means that this restriction cannot be explicitly listed in a + -restrictions=... list, but has a value derived from userdefs.h that is used + with -anonymous and -restrictions=default.) +* Forms options menu can now be used with -validate. +* Allow following local help file links, even if "file_url" restriction is set, + from LYNXKEYMAP, LYNXCOOKIES. (Possibly more need to be added.) +* Apparently realm checking (with -realm option) is bypassed for URLs from + (some) form submissions (it seems to be intentional, but why?). Made sure + this at least doesn't weaken -validate restrictions. +* Apply -localhost check in getfile for news URLs that include a hostname, + i.e., that begin with with "news://". +* Add '&' to nonalphanumeric characters forbidden by exec_ok() for lynxexec and + lynxprog URLs, but keep allowing it for lynxcgi. There's not much point in + excluding ';' and so on if '&' is acceptable! +* Tweaked LYNXMESSAGES: handling slightly: don't bypass normal getfile + handling. +* Reset LYforce_no_cache flag in mainloop() after failed access, before popping + the previous (or, actually, probably currently still displayed) document. +* Tweak for 'no data' handling: it isn't always an error, but was sometimes + treated as such. It mostly doesn't make a difference, except for the message + printed when the startfile cannot be accessed and for traversal and mail + error logging. This needs to be revised to apply for all protocols. +* Added new functionality for rules: Redirect, UseProxy, various others. See + cernrules.txt in samples directory for details. +* Prevent crashes in HTNews.c with HEAD. +* Allow HEAD requests for proxied URLs (checking whether any applicable proxy + begins with http: or lynxcgi:), as far as this can be determined based on + regular environment settings (i.e. unaware of proxying by rules). +* Modified add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from a + DOWNLOADER/UPLOADER/EXTERNAL line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed FALSE. This + modifies the change of 1998-10-17 to be on the safer side, it is more + consistent with how PRINTER lines or lines with the colon separator present + but the flag value absent are handled, and it only makes a difference when a + -restriction command line option or its equivalent is in effect anyway. +* Deal with unusual cases where telnet and similar protocols are proxied, or + possibly changed to a different type of protocol by rules. Normally such + protocols should never be proxied, but there was no protection against it, + and lynx could crash. The approach now taken does not disallow it, but just + tries to deal with the situation in a way that avoids crashing; it is + conceivable that one may want to direct e.g. telnet or rlogin URLs to a HTTP + page that explains why theses types are not supported. A similar problem + that occurred when e.g. telnet was forbidden by a rule is also dealt with. +* Protect start_curses calls in getfile against being executed if + dump_output_immediately is in effect. Maybe access to telnet, rlogin, + lynxexec URLs should be completely disabled for this case; skipping the + start_curses at least avoids being left with non-restored tty settings after + the program exits, is someone attempts to use -dump or -source with such a + URL (the -dump or -source flags is then effectively more or less ignored). +* Tweaks in fix_http_urls, renamed fix_httplike_urls. +* Moved LYStrerror from LYStrings.{h,c} to HTAlert.{h,c}, so that it can be + used in HT*.c files without pulling in yet more LY*.h headers. +* Reset 'safe' flag in anchor on parsing "Safe: no" and "Safe: false" headers. +* The top makefile.in had some 'rm -rf' for whole directories $(helpdir) and + $(docdir) in install targets that could potentially wipe out unrelated files; + added checks to make sure the directories haven't been changed to something + not lynx-specific (they are regarded as lynx-specific if the last component + is lynx_help and lynx_doc, respectively). +* Various doc tweaks. +* Updated README.defines.

In this implementation, each document kept in + cache has associated with it a temporary file containing the HTML source for + the document (well, not all of them -- only those using the HTTP protocol, on + the premise that file:// documents are probably local and ftp:// documents + are probably not HTML). The temporary file is deleted when the document is + uncached. For certain operations, instead of reloading the document via + HTLoad<mumble>(), the source file is reparsed with HTParseFile(). The cached + document also remembers certain parser settings (screen size, historical vs. + minimal vs. valid comment parsing, and the like), and is regenerated from + source if it is fetched out of cache under different settings.

NOT allowed for restricted users (LYRestricted) and occasionally + for user mode other than ADVANCED. This is an *experimental* code + (reload_read_cfg() in LYMain.c - more work required): currently command-line + switches may be lost when overridden by lynx.cfg changes, file paths like + lynx_save_space and LYCookieFile should not be changed (unwanted results) -LP +* retest PARSE_DEBUG ifdef's (LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c), minor corrections + but found no specific reason for LP's problem with tables, except possibly + different effect from "&(value)" versus "(&value)" - TD +* fix the problem of reading included lynx.cfg files by changing LYReadCFG.c + table signature (now it is more close to one in LYMain.c).

It too, has + no default binding, so a KEYMAP entry is also needed for it - KED +* by default, when the cursor is on the last line of a TEXTAREA, if you hit the + ENTER key, a new line will be added to the TEXTAREA, with the cursor + positioned on it. If that should happen at the bottom of the screen, a + DOWN_HALF scroll operation is (effectively) performed - KED +* ifdef'd this feature (since at least one person objected to this automatic + behavior when it was discussed awhile back - BL?), for easy disabling (and to + make adding a ./configure option easier). The symbol is AUTOGROW is + #define'd in LYMainLoop.h - KED +* added an ifdef for the code that causes the external editor to be + invoked "automatically" on the TEXTAREA contents when ^Ve (or whatever + the EDIT binding is), rather than attempting to invoke it on the .html + source file. This should allow adding a ./configure option to control + this behavior, until we come up with a different binding/mechanism to + do the job, that we can all agree on. The symbol AUTOEXTEDIT is also + #define'd in LYMainLoop.h. The command EDITTEXTAREA is still available + for separate KEYMAP binding, per KW's suggestion - KED +* check the range of chars between 0x80 and LYlowest_eightbit[current_char_set] + for validity against the charset in use. If such chars are detected in + edited or inserted data, a "." char is substituted for them, as with normal + control chars. (Suggested by LP) - KED +* added KW's LYCloseTempFP bugfix - KED +* add/use function GetFileName(), e.g., by INSERTFILE. It is fairly general + purpose, and can be used whenever the name of an existing file needs to be + input. It uses the same mechanism for filename expansion and "history" as + does the PRINT function - KED +* reorganized a lot of the code into subroutines to provide for 1) and 2); + still need to do a bit more cleanup of some other (nearly) common code - KED +* rename iso9945_uni.tbl to iso9945uni.tbl to accommodate 'make' programs on + old systems (such as CLIX 3.1) whose suffix rules fail for filenames longer + than 14 characters - TD +* change VMS WWW build-script to use prefix=all rather than prefix=ansi, + so that POSIX functions such as 'stat()' are linked properly (reported by + Morris D Cox <coxmd@appstate.edu>) - TD +* modify configure macro CF_EBCDIC to avoid using #error, since that is not + recognized by all compilers - TD +* include <sys/types.h> in CF_INET_ADDR macro, to accommodate systems which + require that to compile test program with the socket.h, other network + headers - TD +* removed a cast in free_lynx_cfg, on FREE's argument, which caused some + compilers to report that an rvalue was being modified (reported by PW) - TD + +1999-02-16 (2.8.2dev.17) +* modify LYReadCFG.c to avoid duplicating data for cookies - BJP +* modify HTConfirm to use gettext values for yes/no.

Changes affect several protocols: nntp, + gopher, finger, ftp. Most notably, news articles containing byte value 255 + could not be completely read - KW +* removed a memory leak in HTFTP.c for some directory data, added a few gettext + calls - KW +* added ability to show file type description in local Unix directory listings. + New format codes for use in LIST_FORMAT %t, %T are not used by default - KW +* modify "clean" makefile rule to allow for FreeBSD, which generates core + files such as lynx.core - KED, TD +* correct sign-extension when converting characters after edit of TEXTAREA + (upper-128 characters were being translated to dots, reported by IC) - KED +* worked with some pathological/boundary-case pages, and fixed some some edges + that could fail (eg, last line of document is also last line of a TEXTAREA, + and lines are being added; page containing *only* a one-line TEXTAREA field; + etc). While it was unlikely one would run into such beasts in real life, + they all work correctly now. Thanks to Greg Marr and Serge Munhov for + providing some very basic pages that I was able to easily modify for various + test cases - KED +* added a few flags to the TextAnchor and HTLine struct's, to indicate an + expansion line. These were added to allow for line deletion when a TEXTAREA + is "reset" or shrinks (when we get around to tackling those tasks) - KED +* the editor's cursor is now positioned on the same line in the edit file, as + it was on when the editor was invoked (relative to the beginning of the + TEXTAREA). At least for those editors that lynx knows support initial + positioning (emacs, vi, pico, jove, and jed for non-VMS platforms; sedt for + VMS) - KED +* cleaned up and corrected a few comments; simplified a few small bits of + code - KED +* added cookie_domain_flags enum to LYCookie.h, usage should be apparent with + patch applied - BJP +* updated free_lynx_globals() for cookie variables - BJP +* replaced cookie_add_acceptlist, cookie_add_rejectlist and + cookie_set_invcheck functions with cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP +* saved a bit of memory by dropping useless pointer memory initialization + (exactly WHAT was I thinking?) - BJP +* changed LYrcFile.c, LYReadCFG.c to call cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP +* new lynxkeycode BACKTAB_KEY with value 0x10F. DO_NOTHING is and shall remain + 0x10E, as documented in lynx.cfg. Moved MOUSE_KEY out of the way - does it + need to be in the tables at all? BACKTAB_KEY will be recognized if the + (n)curses keypad() input handling returns KEY_BTAB, which happens if the + terminal description has the right kB or kcbt capability string and the + terminal actually generates that string (often "^[[Z", generated for + shift+tab). May also work with lynx-keymaps mechanism. Not tested with + slang, maybe this has to be added to some more of the various tables in + LYStrings.c - KW +* new user-visible key commands FASTFORW_LINK and FASTBACKW_LINK, with + lynxactionscodes LYK_FASTFORW_LINK and LYK_FASTBACKW_LINK. By default mapped + from <tab> key (^I) and new BACKTAB_KEY, respectively. Previously <tab> was + mapped from NEXT_LINK, which has some special handling if the invoking key + was <tab> (and if FASTTAB was defined in LYMainLoop.c, which was the case by + default). The old behavior of <tab> is still available if it is mapped with + KEYMAP to NEXT_LINK in lynx.cfg - KW +* these commands always go to a previous (or next) link if there is one, + and skip multiple lines that are part of the same textarea - KW +* recognize the new key actions also during partial file display, for some + roughly corresponding movement - KW +* new lynxeditactioncode LYE_FORM_PASS, to allow any lynxkeycode to end the + editing of a form field and be passed up to the caller - it will then + normally be mapped to a lynxactioncode. LYE_FORM_PASS keys are generally + ignored in non-forms line editing. This is used for BACKTAB_KEY, as well as + several other keys that were previously handled specially in form_getstr - KW +* extended the maps in LYEditmap.c to cover the same range of lynxkeycodes as + the LYKeymap.c tables. Yes, this uses more space, but the tables need to be + consistent - KW +* map lynxkeycode 0x00 to LYK_DO_NOTHING, as lynx.cfg said all the time - KW +* some tweaks of displayed strings in 'K'ey Map page. Don't show CHANGE_LINK + binding if mouse not enabled (it may not be useful even when -use_mouse is + on) - KW +* function expand_substring used with NCURSES for user-defined mapping keysyms + to byte sequences was parsing the "^(...)" construct wrong - KW +* other small tweaks in key handling code - KW +* changes to lynx.cfg to better reflect reality - KW +* terminology note: lynxkeycode = what's between the colons in lynx.cfg + KEYMAP:...:..., lynxactioncode = LYK_* code for what's right of the second + colon, lynxeditactioncode = what's assigned in LYEditmap.c (and which may + differ between lineedit_mode Default Binding and alternative bindings) - KW +* formatting tweak in HTML.c for <DD> not preceded by <DT>: Don't use wrong + indentation in that case - KW +* changes from DK for DOS up to 1999-02-14 - KW +* minor documentation tweaks - LP +* replace most uses of free with FREE -John Bley +* correct HTEndParam so that if fewer command-parameters are given than + expected, we still terminate the command properly (reported by + Michael Warner) - TD + +1999-02-08 (2.8.2dev.16) +* minor documentation tweaks for EDITTEXTAREA - LP +* correct uninitialized buffer variable in send_file_to_mail() which caused + core dump (reported by LV) - KW +* recognize Subject and Message-Id in embedded comments in HTML documents, in + the form generated by MHonArc for mailing list archives (including lynx-dev). + Use these to generate a default Subject and an In-Reply-To header (currently + not for VMS) when replying by mail (sending a 'C'omment, or following a + mailto link) from such a page. The old methods to get a title other than the + fallback (the URL) still are there and have precedence, by in reality seem to + apply very rarely. If no suitable comment strings are found or they are + regarded as invalid (bad characters, not exactly right format) they are not + used, and the fallback (URL as Subject, no In-Reply-To) applies - KW +* use the Message-Id of a news article to generate a References header when + posting a reply. Lynx's new article listing doesn't understand threading, + but this is nicer for other newsreader that do. The References header of the + referenced article is not used, so there will be only one message-id in the + generated References header, but this is better than nothing. The article's + message-id is appended as a parameter to the URL of the generated newsreply + link, in the form ";ref=...", so this extends the syntax of Lynx's newsreply: + URL scheme. Nothing should have changed for snews: and other s-versions of + the various URL schemes for news access - KW +* Message-Id and Subject of a news article are also made available for replying + by mail - KW +* LYNews.c: Don't post a message that is empty or has only '>'-quoted text - KW +* HTNews.c: got rid of some suspicious fixed length buffers. Fixed minor + memory leaks. Added abort of the target stream which was missing in some + cases. Create mailto: hrefs in URL-escaped form if necessary, they will be + unescaped in LYMail.c. (News URLs still don't use escaping the right way, + especially for message-ids.) Recognize special meaning of "Followup-to: + poster" (don't treat "poster" as a newsgroup name). Other small tweaks - KW +* add samples/cernrules.txt - KW +* except for DJGPP, move lookup code for domain names (not dotted-quad IP + addresses) from HTParseInet into a new function: LYGetHostByName acts like + the normal gethostbyname, but includes the NSL_FORK logic. Interruption is + indicated in global variable lynx_nsl_status - KW +* use LYGetHostByName instead of HTParseInet for URL guessing - KW +* select on tty file descriptor in NSL_FORK loop also if compiled with slang. + This should make 'z' during lookup more responsive - KW +* don't compile in the rules implementation code if NO_RULES is defined + (suggested by BL) - KW +* fix special case of EDITTEXTAREA where the returned file is empty - BJP +* write to .lynxrc values for COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAIN + when options screen is used - BJP +* add lynx.cfg and .lynxrc support for a few new options (BJP): + COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS, + COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS, + COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS + They're the same sort as COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, comma-delimited lists. +* modify LYOpenTemp() to report unusual errors, i.e., other than if the + temporary file could not be created because it already exists - PG +* more fixes to CF_INET_ADDR - TD +* modify README to indicate where win32 binaries are found - JES +* add chrtrans tables for Ukrainian Cyrillic: koi8-u, cp866u, iso-9945-2 + (patch by Serhii Hlodin <hlodin@lutsk.bank.gov.ua>) +* patch for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED + 1. Handles the renumbering of link number tags [nnn], when the tag itself is + split across two lines (see below). + 2. Scrolling down, going to the bottom of the document, etc, now work + properly, when the TEXTAREA is expanded beyond the bottom of the + (original) screen display. + 3. Hitting the reset button is now handled properly WRT the "old" text in + expansion lines (now *always* empty). + 4. Attempting to edit (^Ve) a TEXT field (not a TEXTAREA), is now blocked, + with the user getting an error msg. + 5. The function call now returns the number of lines that the cursor should + be moved from its current position, to end up on the first blank line of + any trailing empty lines in the TEXTAREA (there will always be one). +* bug fixes for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED + 1. Thanks to a suggestion by Bela, your regular EDIT keybinding ("e" by + default), will now bring up the editor within a TEXTAREA, so there's no + need to "waste" a separate keybinding (though you can still additionally + bind the function separately, if desired). + 2. Converts any tab chars in the edited file, to spaces in the TEXTAREA + anchor line. The tabstop is currently #define'd to the quasi-standard + value of 8. (If anyone thinks that needs to be user configurable, feel + free to add that to the o(ptions) form/menu, + cmd-line-arg/lynx.cfg/.lynxrc/userdefs.h, whatever ... + I recommend against doing so though, as tabstops that are not set at 8, + are a PITA to deal with, generally speaking. I dunno if tab chars in a + TEXTAREA form are prohibited "by spec", or if it is just a "lynxism" that + they cause rendering problems (as well as downstream problems with + submit/etc, I think), but I felt I needed to do something to make lynx + behave rationally if they are present in the edited data (quite possibly + from an arbitrary file that one pulled into the editor). Filtering them + to spaces, seemed the most reasonable thing to do. + 3. Replaces any embedded control chars with something printable (I chose a + "." char, since it is less "intrusive" than some other choices, like "*", + "+", "#", etc). As with tabs, when some of these chars *are* rendered + into the TEXTAREA, strange things may happen. This shouldn't be much of a + limitation, since many of these chars perform line-editing or + system/job-control functions, when entered directly while one is in the + TEXTAREA. They currently cannot be "escaped" and entered as actual text + chars, so far as I can tell. Anyway ... I don't know of any "legitimate" + reason for them to be used as TEXTAREA data, so for now, you get "dots" in + their place. + 4. Cleans up a few comments, and such. +* update some linked in lynx_help_main.html (Heikki Kantola <hezu@iki.fi>) +* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c, + LYUtils.c -John Bley +* add telnet, tn3270 and rlogin program paths to configure script + (patch by George Lindholm <George.Lindholm@ubc.ca>). + +1999-01-28 (2.8.2dev.15) +* correct calls to HTAddParam() in LYDownLoad.c to handle optional second + parameter (reported by KW) - TD +* change HTAddXpand() to assume its parameter (an environment variable) is + already expanded and simply is not quoted (reported by Ryan Hung + <rhung@vcn.bc.ca>) - TD +* add configure --disable-included-msgs option to allow suppressing of bundled + ./po directory for the NLS message library contents. If no ./po directory + is found, the configure script assumes it is preinstalled anyway (request + by HN) - TD +* add pattern to script which customizes pathnames in lynx.cfg to support + GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/PATH_TO/lynx_doc/samples/mailcap + (request by PG) - TD +* export $PATH when calling cfg_defs.sh - PG +* add a simple test to check if the temporary directory is actually writable + if we cannot create a temporary file in LYOpenTemp (reported by PG) - TD +* miscellaneous DOS/DJGPP compile/build fixes - LP +* enabled CERN-style rules, there are two new lynx.cfg options, RULESFILE and + RULE. No example file or documentation yet beyond comments in lynx.cfg. The + rules mechanism itself is unchanged from what was present for a long time + (but never used), except for some memory cleanup. Use -DNO_RULES at compile + time to disable - KW +* add changes to invoke external editor on textarea, can be invoked by adding a + KEYMAP entry for EDITTEXTAREA area to lynx.cfg (originally from + aldomel@ix.netcom.com, but much rework) - KED +* use HTSprintf0 in HTTCP.c - TD +* added PARSE_STRICTPATH and PARSE_QUERY to interface of HTParse(), for + requesting only the relevant part of what is returned for PARSE_PATH. This + isn't yet used anywhere - KW +* changes to StrAllocVsprintf() to take width and precision in most format + specifications into account, and to correct the memory allocation logic. + This was tested by setting GROW_SIZE to a small value of 8, so far no + crashes, but it is certainly not right for all possible formats, especially + involving floating point conversions - KW +* changed HTSprintf0() to pass a string already existing in its output buffer + on, this should save a few realloc's in StrAllocVsprintf() - KW +* changes to code handling LIST_FORMAT to avoid some unnecessary reallocations, + to recognize some more format flags, and to treat invalid formats somewhat + better - KW +* corrected recent HTFile.c change for systems without S_ISVTX - KW +* added memory cleanup for uid/gid cache functions in HTAAProt.c - KW +* increased ATEXITSIZE to 40 - KW +* added TRACE output to HTAnchor.c's free_adult_table. If this shows anything + at program exit (if TRACE is on then), it means that HTAnchor structures have + been missed by the normal automatic cleanup (walking the history list and + following links) - KW +* changed more status codes in HTUtils.h to libwww5-like values - KW +* added new function to check for a valid Internet hostname - KW + Use it before actually trying to resolve an address, it should + a. avoid the overhead of NSL_FORK if it would fail anyway, + b. prevent DNS queries for invalid names, which may unnecessarily + consume time, bandwidth, and DNS server cache memory, and + may confuse some resolver libraries and servers, + c. speed up address guessing sometimes if something was mistyped, + d. thwart some attempts to crash Lynx with invalid URLs. +* this time really make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW +* new function HTAlwaysAlert(), which can be called even when LYCursesON isn't + true and should always produce a visible message - KW +* use new valid_hostname to also check telnet, tn3270, and rlogin hostnames + before calling the external program (after most invalid character have + already been stripped). Added a fflush(stdout) to make sure messages are + visible before external program is called - KW +* made changes equivalent to the 1998-12-31 HTSACopy and HTSACat modification + to the LY_FIND_LEAKS versions of those functions. Having source and target + string for StrAllocCopy or StrAllocCat overlap (or being equal) should be + considered a programming error, but at least one place in LYEdit.c currently + seems to do it and rely on the new behavior. (Editing current file sometimes + didn't work with LY_FIND_LEAKS) - KW +* closed memory leaks in LYKeymap.c, provided for memory cleanup at exit of + LYCgi.c environment strings - KW +* explicitly put HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET strings into + lynxcgi environment only if they are non-empty, i.e., set to something in + lynx.cfg or the personal configuration or Options screen. This makes the + environment a lynxcgi scripts sees resemble more closely that of a remote CGI + script handling a request from Lynx with the same configuration - HTTP.c also + only sends Accept-{Language,Charset} headers if preferred language and + preferred charset (respectively) have been set to non-empty strings. + (Strictly speaking, an empty Accept-* header has a different meaning from a + non-existing one, but it doesn't make much sense to generate empty Accept-* + headers, since they mean "nothing is accepted".) There are other differences + in the lynxcgi environment (e.g. HTTP_ACCEPT isn't set, ",iso-8859-1;q=0.01" + etc. isn't appended to HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, apart from missing + redirections), but apparently nobody has needed a more exact CGI emulation + for real scripts - KW +* removed sending of "Negotiate: trans" in HTTP.c since it violates transparent + content negotiation specs, added comments - KW +* correct error handling in CF_INET_ADDR, which did not restore $LIBS when no + applicable library was found for inet_addr (reported by IC) - TD +* correction to CF_TERMCAP_LIBS, which used inconsistent spelling for the cache + variable, so predefined termcap/terminfo library was not necessarily + detected - TD +* resolved autoconf 2.13 problem, resync configure script with patched + autoconf 2.13 - TD + +1999-01-18 (2.8.2dev.14) +* use HTSprintf0 in LYCurses.c, LYForms.c, LYGetFile.c, LYJump.c - TD +* modify LYCheckMail so it does not continue to report new mail when the mail + file's modification time differs from its access time (reported by LV) - TD +* add check for inet_addr function, and (preferred) inet_aton. The first + function is reported to be sometimes in -lresolv, or -lbind when it is not + present in the conventional network libraries (from report by + mattack@area.com and comments by HN) - TD +* resync config.sub, config.guess with autoconf 2.13.19990117 (not yet + configure, since autoconf 2.13 contains some new bugs) - TD +* modified handling of untranslatable charsets, after noticing that a page + with charset=ISO-2022-JP produced an alert message with a truncated + "iso-2022-j". Looking more closely, the code could also result in memory + corruption in some cases. Compared with older versions, then changed the + code to something somewhat like what was intended there. But we don't have + an "Other ISO Latin" display character set any more; maybe those `else' + blocks should just have disappeared completely - KW +* minor changes to SortaSGML DTD for PARAM, THEAD - KW +* make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW +* extend fixtext.sh to also change continued lines - KW +* changed LYCheckForProxyURL to act more like it appears to have been indented, + and clarify comment. Minor change in is_url - KW +* prevent removal of hidden link number from bookmark document in a very + obscure case of a bookmarked ISMAP link - KW +* HText_SubmitForm: make sure query is always allocated, even if the set of + form fields to be sent turned out to be empty - KW +* some comments corrected in HTML.c, LYCharSets.c - KW +* tweak in curses_w_style for display without color - KW +* remove minor memory leak in LYDownload.c - KW +* changed error handling in LYTraversal.c to make sure terminal gets restored + to sane mode before showing error message and exiting - KW +* increased VALUE_SIZE for buffer in HTMIME.c from 1024 to 5120. Someone + needed increase for long Set-Cookie headers - KW +* two new functions in HTList.c to reverse and to combine lists - KW +* Lynx was using the wrong precedence for entries within a mailcap (relative to + other entries from the same file): RFC 1524 says "The configuration + information will be obtained from the FIRST matching entry in a mailcap + file[...]", but Lynx effectively gave precedence to the last match. Recent + Debian packages of lynx have had a patch applied to change this, but that + patch also seems to affect the precedence order relative to viewers defined + in other places, i.e., lynx.cfg and HTInit.c. The patch here instead changes + the precedence of mailcap entries form the same files to RFC-like behavior, + by reordering the list generated from a mailcap file after we have finished + reading it in. It leaves the order relative to viewers from other sources + unchanged. Maybe it should be made configurable whether Lynx's traditional + precedence or the new one is used; currently there is just a #define in + HTInit.c which could be changed to revert to traditional behavior - KW +* add checks for null return from malloc to LYCurses.c, LYStrings.c, + (patch by John Bley) +* add support for HP Roman8 as a display character set. HP Roman8 is used by + Hewlett-Packard terminals and hpterm, HP's version of xterm. The character + repertoire is largely similar to ISO Latin 1 but the code points are all + mixed up (patch by Christian Weisgerber) +* modify WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAUtil.c::HTAA_setupReader(): to use + malloc'd buffer rather than static buffer, to avoid overflow (patch by Thomas + Braun <Thomas.Braun@link-up.de>) +* modifications to allow building the DOS lynx port with support of gettext for + producing messages in various languages. The DOS port of the gettext package + still needs minor tweaking to get it to function properly, but this shouldn't + be a problem for most people trying to compile lynx for DOS themselves. + Rather than put yet more DOS-specific makefiles in the distribution, I put + the changes to the makefiles within comments, which can easily be removed to + enable the changes - DK +* add a comment about LYUCcharset struct "UChndl" field. Tweak trace + messages - LP +* fix parsing of ALT=value attribute when the value is not quoted. When the + first character is not us-ascii it was corrupted by chartrans in all versions + of lynx. Fix case S_equals in SGML_character() - LP +* chartrans: ignore RAW_TOGGLE key and do not change LYUseDefaultRawMode if + current document's charset specified explicitly, add status message. (Let + user switch toggle only when necessary, to avoid future problems :-) - LP +* chartrans: change the default value of PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE in lynx.cfg + from FALSE to TRUE (better safe than sorry) - LP +* reorder forms-based options menu (cosmetic): rename "HTML error tolerance" + to "HTML error recovery", reorganize "Character Set Options" section - + "Display character set" went to "Personal preferences" section, "Assume + character set" and "Raw 8-bit or CJK mode" went to "Document Layout" section; + "Execution Links" went to "File management" section. (Hope this helps to + reduce confusion) - LP +* remove "environment variables" section from INSTALLATION, change references + to Lynx User Guide in all docs. Minor tweaks on help files - LP +* add a comment to mime.types and lynx.cfg on SUFFIX definition: "This has an + effect for ftp and local files only, http server does specify MIME type in + the Content-Type header" - LP + +1999-01-13 (2.8.2dev.13) +* correct a missing trailing newline in caselower.h (this may be a problem + patching since 'diff' does not like that) - TD +* fix off-by-one alignment download options (reported by LV) - IC +* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in UCAuto.c - TD +* remove stop/start curses calls around UCChangeTerminalCodepage() in + GridText.c, since they are not necessary, and are a little distracting + when running Lynx in xterm - TD +* correct handling in getfile() of ~/ expansion - KW +* modify NSL_FORK logic to prevent child process from running any signal + handlers the parent may have installed - KW +* the logic added to display_page for avoiding unnecessary screen redraw with + partial display (see 1998-12-03) is now disabled if enable_scrollback is set. + Otherwise displayed pages could appear as empty (or with only the current + link drawn) - KW +* modify conditions under which screen style cache is reset (only relevant for + color style in combination with partial display) - KW +* update the INSTALLATION file, reflecting the changes between the two DJGPP + versions of GCC in use. Also, change optimization to -O2 in the other two + DOS makefiles - DK +* add support for ISO 8859-15, i.e., "Latin 9", make corrections to DEC + Multinational character translations (patch by Christian Weisgerber + <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>) +* modify po/makefile.inn to use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs script + (reported by LV) - TD +* modify print_help_and_exit() to print values for the simple options, i.e., + toggle, integer and string, as part of "lynx -help" (request by + mattack@area.com) - TD +* correct sense shown for Old_DTD variable in LYOptions.c (reported by DK) -TD +* correct order of params for non-Unix use of HTAddParam in LYBookmark.c + (reported by DK) -TD + +1998-12-31 (2.8.2dev.12a) +* delete unused 'PREVAIL' color-style code from HTML.c, merge a couple of + sections of logic with TrimColorClass, and change Style_className to + a dynamically-allocated string - TD +* modify fmt_tempname() to check for buffer overflow - TD +* check/modify for potential buffer overflows: HTAlert.c, LYBookMark.c, + LYKeymap.c, LYPrint.c (including splitting it up into functions) - TD +* change GetOptValues to return status separately from the decoded value, in + case the options form is damaged (suggested by LP) - TD +* add new function HTAddXpand to use in special case where Lynx is building + shell command using data from user's configuration, which should not be + quoted. Use this in LYEdit.c to allow $EDITOR to be given as the editor + name (request by PG) - TD +* add new function LYOpenTraceLog, to combine logic in LYMain.c and + LYMainLoop.c, including Lynx's version message - TD +* fix some discrepancies between the code and the documentation (help files), + for the alternate line edit keybindings, that were first included in the + distribution somewhere around -dev.3, or so - KED +* added a delete-to-beginning-of-line (for the alt bindings only), and a help + page that describes the alternate bindings - KED +* improved description of "HTML error tolerance" - KW +* changes for handling lynxcgi: handle failure of execve(), by showing the + system error and then _exit()ing the child process. Make sure REQUEST_METHOD + is always set. Added checks for EINTR and other errors from read() - KW +* DOSPATH or EMX: remove strange code dealing with root of local drive from + is_url() and HTDOS_name()/HTDOS_wwwname(), add right code at the earlier + stage in LYFillLocalFileURL() - LP (thanks KW) +* relax warning from HTAlert to HTUserMsg on REFRESH_URL_NOT_ABSOLUTE - LP +* more tweaks on transfer rate calculation - LP +* modify HTSACopy and HTSACat in case the source and destination are the same + pointer - TD +* tested/removed redundant OS/2 EMX adjustment to filename from LYEdit.c - TD +* optimized LYEdit.c by moving calls on HTSYS_name(filename) to a single place + near the top - LP +* forms-based options menu: prevent spoofing attempts from possible overruns + (e.g., user can doing 'e'dit in 'o'ptions and get core dump if + display_char_set gets an illegal number such as 50, or hang the keyboard with + illegal Line edit style) - LP +* forms-based options menu: add new logical section - Document Layout, + currently with "HTML error tolerance" (TagSoup/SortaSGML), "Pop-up for select + fields", "Show images" (no_alt/labels/links) and "Verbose images". New + switches added for information purposes mostly, they duplicate hot keys but + not so hidden from user's view. Documentation updated also. (Oh yes, "Line + edit style" option is now available when we have a real choice >1) - LP +* split cfg_defs.sh into two script based on revised script from PG - TD +* minor fixes for top-level makefile.in - PG +* fixes for makefiles with gcc 2.8.1 using DJGPP 2.02 (do not use "-c -o" + combination, strip trailing blanks from makefile.sla, change optimization + level to -O2) - DK +* rename New_DTD variable to Old_DTD, change logic for -tagsoup option to be + consistent with sense in lynx.cfg (reported by LP) -TD + +1998-12-26 (2.8.2dev.12) +* use HTSprintf0 in LYCgi.c - TD +* add tab-completion on URL's, by using previously-entered strings for + matching (patch by Kari Davidsson <karid@isholf.is>) - TD +* add version number to trace log (patch by IC) +* modify HTDOS_name to be consistent with HTVMS_name, which does not modify + its parameter (reported by LP). Also, modify HTDOS_name and HTDOS_wwwName + so they allocate space for the result rather than using a static buffer - TD +* modify LYEdit.c to use HTAddParam - TD +* make HREF/NAME for "Environment" consistent in Lynx_users_guide.html + (reported by LP) -TD +* correct DOS/EMX logic in LYEdit.c which incremented 'filename' pointer when + its length was greater than 1 rather than recopying the string, causing a + core dump when 'filename' was freed (reported by LP, this applies to + 2.8.1rel.2) - TD +* correct sense of 'already_exists()' function from dev.11, which caused + various file-menu operations to stop working (reported by IC) - TD + +1998-12-24 (2.8.2dev.11) +* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in about half of the WWW library files where + applicable: HTAABrow.c HTAAServ.c HTAAUtil.c HTAccess.c HTAnchor.c HTDOS.c + HTFTP.c HTFWriter.c HTFile.c HTFinger.c HTFormat.c HTGopher.c - TD +* eliminate most duplicate gettext parameters, reduced the number of files + listed in po/POTFILES.in to a size that may allow build with the Solaris + xgettext utility - TD +* correct rule for remaking po/makefile - TD +* workaround for HPUX sed program, providing '$' anchors for ".*" expressions, + which is redundant, but should be harmless (suggested by Jean-Yves Levesque + <Jean-Yves.Levesque.jyves@nortelnetworks.com>) +* add new help file, keystrokes/environments.html - LP +* fix HTReadProgress(): more accurate transfer rate calculation - LP +* update slang makefile.dos, and corresponding INSTALLATION notes - DK +* correct my integration of IZ's LY_CHANGE_LINK code, which resulted in an + out-of-bounds index into revmap (reported by LP, LV) - TD +* add note about sendmail for Win32 to lynx.cfg - JES +* add note for successful build on NeXT to INSTALLATION (Christian Jensen + <cejensen@winternet.com>) +* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYUtils.c, + (patch by John Bley) +* remove reference to 'persistent_cookies' in LYCookie.c which prevented + compile when persistent cookies configure option was disabled (report + by PG) - KW +* move assignment to SHELL back from WWW/Library/makefile.in to CommonMakefile, + and revert use of $CONFIG_SHELL in configure script, since this appears to + stop auto-configure from finding working include feature of 'make' on CLIX + (reported by Alex Matulich) - TD + +1998-12-16 (2.8.2dev.10) +* FROM_FILE is not used any more for a domain (although it is currently still + defined. Renamed COOKIE_FLAG_PERSISTENT to COOKIE_FLAG_FROM_FILE. Don't + change a domain's "behavior" (ACCEPT_ALWAYS, REJECT_ALWAYS, or QUERY_USER) + just because there was a persistent cookie for it. Users who want to always + accept cookies from a domain without prompting should use + COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - KW +* FREE domain_entry objects when they are not used any more. Other minor leak + removed - KW +* some (few) changes for draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-10.txt. Don't accept + invalid port lists (this may need more tweaking). Added some comments - KW +* try to preserve cookies (within a domain) in the same order in which they + were received, although this is probably not necessary after all. There is + no difference any more w.r.t. insertion into the list between cookies from + the file and cookies from response headers - KW +* use <= instead of < comparison when checking whether a cookie has expired -KW +* don't write expired cookies, cookies with discard attribute, or cookies + without expiration date to persistent file - KW +* don't call HTConfirmCookie for cookies read from file. This doesn't change + the logic since previously HTConfirmCookie allowed all file cookies + anyway - KW +* don't delete the domain_list if it becomes empty. Doing this could result in + unnecessary multiple atexit()'s - KW +* write the cookie file even if we now have no cookies, if we have previously + read cookies from the file. The file should be updated if all cookies that + were in it are expired or superseded or deleted - KW +* when reading file cookies, set attributes in a way that (hopefully) makes + more sense than just ignoring them. See comments in LYLoadCookies. + We are restricted a lot by the choice of a Netscape-compatible cookie file + format, some version 1 properties just cannot be stored in it AFAIK. Some + more tweaking in LYLoadCookies - KW +* setting a domains behavior to accept "A)lways" didn't actually work, it had + the same effect as "P)rompt". Corrected this simple (probably cut-and-paste) + error - KW +* some changes in what is displayed on Cookie Jar page: FROM_FILE is a + property of individual cookies, not of domains as previously. Cookies from + file (which haven't been updated) are shown as "(from a previous session)". + Show expiration time ("Max. Gobble Date") whenever we have one. The state + of the "discard" attribute is already displayed separately - KW +* made color styles code work much better with TagSoup parsing mode. A new + flag bit is set for some tags in HTMLDTD which indicates that, even though + they may be otherwise handled as SGML_EMPTY, this emptiness is fake. This + can only work reasonably for elements that require an end tag (not for LI, + for example) - KW +* added SUMMARY attribute for TABLE element to HTMLDTD (but we don't do + anything with it) - KW +* split_line: Try to account for changes in anchor position and extent in all + possible cases. This improves some cases where the selectable text could + become too short and, in extreme cases, a link could become erroneously + "hidden" - KW +* split_line: color style changes after the split position are moved to the + correct position in the new line - KW +* set TextAnchor's line_num in HText_beginInput, so that split_line can adjust + the input field's position properly if a split moves it to the next line. + Should solve problem reported for www.lycos.com - KW +* don't refuse to read from file-descriptor 0 in HTDoRead for Unix if it is not + a tty. The socket fd from HTDoConnect can be 0 if fd 0 was not open when + lynx was started non-interactively - KW +* increase INIT_LINE_SIZE in HTTP.c slightly from 1024 to 1536, so that for a + typical ethernet MTU the first packet of a response can more often be read in + with a single read() - KW +* add a missing FREE() in HTTP.c - KW +* use case mapping from ftp.unicode.org /Public/UNIDATA for case-insensitive + user search (thanks "Kari E Hurtta" <Kari.Hurtta@ozone.FMI.FI>), new file + src/chrtrans/caselower.h added. This is used instead of UPPER8 assumption + introduced in 2.8 release (see 1998-02-27). There is no difference in speed + though - LP +* fix links in History/Visited Links page for documents with blank + <TITLE></TITLE>, also remove leading spaces from titles to make output a + little better - LP +* use djgpp's <sys/config.h> file, which contains default values for autoconf + style definitions - LP +* updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp for "SEE ALSO" sections - KED, JES +* optimize the test commands specified in the mailcap file by remembering which + tests have been run already. (patch by Marc Huber <marc@sixpack.de>) +* add lint rule to makefile.in, as well as corresponding rule in WWW/... - LV +* update version in makefile.in to 2-8-2 - PG +* fix makefiles to build with DJGPP (problem introduced in dev8) - LP +* use new symbol KEYMAP_SIZE to get rid of various constants relating to the + size of keymap[] array, e.g, 0x293, 659 - TD +* add new mouse and keymap functionality to lynx (IZ): + a) If one clicks mouse *near* a link, the "point/focus" is moved to this link + (without actual activation); + b) One can bind keys with ordinals larger than DO_NOTHING; + c) Primitive context sensitive menu added to the middle button of a mouse + (currently ncurses only); + Current micro-problem with "c" is that I do not know how to refresh a screen + before triggering the action, so if the action chosen from the menu would + not redraw the screen, the menu outline is left on the screen. +* modify LYKeymap.c so that it can show internal keymaps above 0400 as + hexadecimal codes even if they do not appear in the function-key table -IZ +* add HTOptParam to avoid spurious quoting of blanks in rlogin URLs by + HTAddParam - TD +* correct missing assignment in remote_session(), from dev.9 changes for + HTAddParam, which broke telnet/rlogin URLs (reported by IC) - TD + +1998-12-12 (2.8.2dev.9) +* change location-not-absolute message from an alert to user-message - TD +* check for EINTR from read() call in HTDoRead, and retry if necessary. This + change only for Unix. Interrupted read() system calls should be rare (or + impossible, depending on the system implementation?) since the read() is only + done after a successful select(), but checking can't hurt - KW +* check for read read() errors in HTDoRead and HTCopy, and generate alert + messages for unexpected errors. HTCopy still returns HT_LOADED to indicate + success if any data have been received before an unexpected error or + disconnection. Previously this happened without any indication to the user + that something was wrong and a document or file might be incomplete. These + changes currently only for Unix - KW +* added/enhanced comments in HTFormat.c to document current behavior of HTCopy, + HTFileCopy, HTGzFileCopy, HTParseSocket, HTParseFile, and HTParseGzFile - KW +* moved definition of HT_NO_DATA to HTUtils.h, changed value of some status + codes to libwww5-like values while we're at it - KW +* correct uninitialized de variable in LYCookie.c when dump_output_immediately + is set. Also, made a slight change to this mode in LYMain.c, so that cookies + received will also be written to the cookie file; cleanup() is not called in + -dump mode (reported by Elwin Oost) - BJP +* correct include-path for chrtrans makefile to allow builds outside the + source tree (Masashi Fujita) +* minor cleanup of LYCookie.c, add some traces - BJP +* add support for content encoding for x-bzip2, bzip2 for suffix "bz2" - HN +* add po directory to install-bin and uninstall rules - TD +* modify the environment variable logic to avoid freeing string given to putenv + until after giving it a new string - TD +* add several environment variables to LYPrint.c - KED +* add ENVIRONMENT section to lynx.man and lynx.hlp - KED +* add installation note about --enable-gzip-help - KED +* update installation notes for WAIS - DK +* add/use new functions for building up command-string for shell commands, + which quote parameters as needed: HTAddParam(), HTEndParam(). Moved the + logic in quote_pathname to HTQuoteParameter, extending that function to quote + the parameter only if it contains characters which are problems with various + shells (e.g., wildcards), and to escape backslashes. In particular, use + these functions to ensure that the user and port strings in HTTelnet.c are + quoted (fixes a hole reported by Art Mulder <art@openbsd.org> - TD +* modify print-to-file logic to permit writing to pipe, provided that the + user does not have no-shell restriction - TD +* split-out logic for LYValidateFilename() from printfile() and LYDownload - TD +* whitespace fixes - BJP +* add configure option --with-nls-datadir, to allow installer to specify + alternate locale data directory. A separate option from --datadir is + required because the GNU gettext code is usually installed under + $(prefix)/share rather $(prefix)/lib - TD +* add configure check for gettimeofday, to implement 0.1 second interval + for skipping HTCheckForInterrupt() - TD +* modify configure script to generate references to $CONFIG_SHELL rather than + /bin/sh, to allow some testing with alternate shells. Autoconf uses this + variable for a similar purpose - TD +* correct missing case for 'o', octal in StrAllocVsprintf (reported by IC) - TD +* fix -restrictions=bookmark check in forms-based options menu (reported by KW + & Rodiger Geys) - LP +* fix memory leaks in LYPrint.c and UCdomap.c - KW +* when printing HEAD to email use URL in the subject, was title. (it was + especially annoying when we have 8bit title being sent as 7bit: no charset + information is supplied for letters with 7bit message body) - LP +* remove "temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by + introducing a flag in HText_beginInput()" from 1998-09-12 since it is now not + needed after KW's changes in HText_trimHightext. - LP + +1998-12-03 (2.8.2dev.8) +* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in LYCookie.c, LYLocal.c - TD +* correct logic in OpenHiddenFile, which did not check if a failure to open a + file for append was due to the file's not existing and hence causing + IsOurFile to return failure. This caused the -traversal option to fail + (reported by Francis Irving <francis@ncgraphics.co.uk>, applies to + 2.8.1rel.2) - TD +* fixed line number removal code in HText_endAnchor in several places, it was + modifying the wrong line which could lead to memory corruption - KW +* tweaks in HText_startAnchor and HText_endAnchor for handling link numbers. + Don't swallow space after number if line was split. Find link number on + previous line even it it is at the very end. Adjust line split position after + number removal. Generate TRACE output in interesting cases - KW +* prevent havoc (access to already freed memory etc.) caused by multiple + recursive invocations of HTAnchor_delete on the same HTParentAnchor. This + does not seem to actually happen normally during a session, but can occur + when the HTAnchor structures are cleaned up while handling a terminating + signal or outofmem condition - KW +* reset the HTAnchor "underway" flag during final cleanup, so structures are + not prevented from being freed. This also should only make a difference when + handling a terminating signal or outofmem condition - KW +* show sticky-bit in directory listings - LV +* correct options-message on Print page - IC +* update installation note about freewais library (reported by Chris Maden + <crism@oreilly.com>) - TD +* improvements to mouse code, ncurses-based, from IZ (Ilya Zakharevich): + a) Mouse navigation inside text entry fields; + b) Mouse navigation to a text entry field (including an empty one) + c) Mouse navigation to a specific position of a text field (since I do not + know which fields are text fields, I implemented "b" and "c" for + F_TEXTAREA_TYPE and F_TEXT_TYPE only, search for these symbols in the + patch); + d) Mouse navigation in menus: To scroll, one can click on top/bottom border + (single=byline, double=bypage, triple=beg/end), or above/below menu + (single=bypage, double=beg/end)) mouse-3 ==> quit; + e) Double-click-1 on the first and last row are interpreted as goto- + start/end/main-window (depending on the location of the click). + Other Changes: + a) Ask ncurses for all mouse events, but increase mouseinterval() to simulate + current behavior (which is effectively an infinite mouseinterval() + + masking of repeated clicks); + b) Earlier clicking to the left of a link would activate the link. I see no + use for this, so consider this a bug. +* HText_trimHightext (GridText.c): don't apply final adjustment repeatedly to + an anchor that has already been handled by this function; the function may be + called repeatedly if partial display is enabled. Some other changes in this + function, to interact better with the other GridText.c functions, especially + for partial display mode. We don't have to handle all anchors if the new + parameter "final" is not set. + Also empty anchors should now generally not any more move down over empty + lines, if they happen at a line end. Made some trace messages give more + information - KW +* color styles: reset screen style cache to avoid random coloring when a link + is unhighlighted - KW +* tweak in HText_setLastOptionValue: if an OPTION tag was directly followed by + several newlines, characters could be dropped - KW +* tweak havevisible() function in LYBookmark.c to compare against Unicode + value rather than ASCII when checking for blanks - LP +* ifdef user/group function caching calls so that this builds with djgpp, which + doesn't need/support this (patch by Gisle Vanem) +* documentation updates for NLS - HN +* separate some html from gettext in LYCgi.c, LYHistory.c, LYLocal.c - JES +* avoid setting recent_sizechange during the very first start_curses call for + ncurses. This would result in an unnecessary refresh after loading the first + document - KW +* added logic to display_page to avoid repainting the full screen contents in a + specific situation: if it has been called before (for the same lines in the + same document) during partial display, and is now being called normally (not + during partial display). If this applies, the normal line content is not + redrawn, but the title line and form fields are still repainted, and updating + of the links structures is always done. There are additional checks for + recent_sizechange and a text->stale flag (which was already implemented but + unused) to do the full redraw if that may be needed. This should avoid + unnecessary screen 'blinking' with curses when partial display is used (which + didn't seem to happen with slang) - KW +* modify SGML.c to check for SGML_ELEMENT tag contents, fixing a case where an + entity that appears within a TABLE but outside of any table row TR will be + displayed by Lynx _without_ its entities being interpreted (analysis by Alan + J Flavell <flavell@a5.ph.gla.ac.uk>, applies to 2.8.1rel.2) - KW +* check that stdin is really a tty before trying to select from it in the + NSL-FORK logic in HTParseInet(), file HTTCP.c (reported by Kim DeVaughn, for + someone who was unable to run lynx -dump in a cron job, applies to + 2.8.1rel.2) - TD, BL +* updates for lynx_help_main.html (JES, IC). +* change fopen for write in LYCookie.c to LYNewTxtFile so that the resulting + file will be readable by only the owner (Bill Nottingham <wen2@po.cwru.edu> + suggested using umask, but that may not be portable enough) - TD +* use CONST in some places in UCdomap.c and makeuctb, to make more tables + sharable (suggested by LP) - TD +* fixes for SunOS K&R compiler with/without unproto wrapper, i.e., definition + of 'const' - TD + +1998-11-23 (2.8.2dev.7) +* convert KEY_ENTER to newline in LYgetch() to make Lynx work with IRIX's + iris-ansi terminfo description, which equates the kent capability with + carriage return. Doing this will allow lynx to use the keypad "enter" key as + an alias for carriage return on most terminals - KW +* correct a few missing ifdef's for disabling the partial-display logic - TD +* add/use new functions HTAA_UidToName(), HTAA_NameToUid(), HTAA_GidToName() + and HTAA_NameToGid() to hide details of code which uses pwd.h and grp.h, + as well as to cache the returned user/group names, improving performance + in the dired screen - TD +* modify HTCheckForInterrupt() to check for interrupt no more than one per + second, since this check is comparatively slow - TD +* modify ANSI_VARARGS case for HTSprintf() and HTSprintf0() to always use + ANSI prototypes, since __STDC__ may not necessarily be defined on some + systems, resulting in an inconsistent definition - PG +* add install-full rule to makefile.in - LV +* modify PutDefs macro in LYShowInfo.c to check for nonnull table[N].value, + which may be null due to limitations of cfg_defs.sh script on some + platforms where an empty string was intended (reported by LV, PG, applies + to 2.8.1rel.2) - TD +* correct typo in 'make distclean' rule; an extra '-' prevented removal of + .orig and .rej files (patch by LV). + +1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.6) +* add call on dbug_init to LYMain.c, allowing use of the debugging code built + into the WATTCP code which is included in the DJGPP port of lynx. This is + activated by placing lines in the WATTCP.CFG file for: + DEBUG.MODE= (choices are HEADERS, DUMP, or ALL) + DEBUG.PROTO= (choices are TCP, UDP, or ALL) + DEBUG.FILE= (name of log file. Defaults to WATTCP.DBG) + This adds about 2K to the size of the stripped, compressed executable. You + get a log of the headers and/or a binary dump of the packets sent and + received. Maybe this will help in determining where ftp is failing in this + port - DK +* correct definitions for ANSI_VARARGS, HAVE_STDARG_H in HTUtils.h (reported + by LP, for djgpp) - TD +* correct logic in StrAllocVsprintf(), remove spurious test on dst_len + (analysis by LV) - TD + +1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.5) +* modify HTLoadFile() to make compressed files work with OS/2 EMX and + LYSystem() to convert forward slashes in pathnames to backslashes, also for + EMX (patches by Ilya Zakharevich). +* documentation nits (apostrophes) in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h - LV +* fix inconsistent newlines in po/it.po (report by Irving_Wolfe@Wolfe.net) - TD +* modify config.guess, added Intergraph 2430 CLIX machines (reported by Alex + Matulich <matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil>) - TD +* minor fix in LYCharSets.c according to recent changes in UCDefs.h introduced + by IBM OS/2 codepage number - LP +* modify configure script to work with --enable-nls built into a subdirectory + of the source tree (reported by PG) - TD +* disable regeneration of intl/po2tbl.sed and po/POTFILES if --disable-nls + configure option is specified - TD +* add configure test for stdarg.h vs varargs.h - TD +* fixes to work with SunOS K&R compiler - TD +* don't trim trailing and leading spaces from unformatted text lines in some + cases (split_line in GridText.c). Prevents corruption of some uuencoded + files when they are displayed and then 'P'rinted (although 'D'ownload should + be used instead) - KW +* some changes in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). Splitting of long SOURCE + lines now works with color styles - KW +* workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML document with the + same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW +* check for 'z'ap while constructing local directory listings (non-VMS only, in + HTFile.c) - KW +* added a couple outofmem checks (HTAnchor.c). Minor TRACE message change in + GridText.c for -tlog / USE_TRACE_LOG disabled - KW +* when adding bookmark entries, don't accept a title string which appears to + consist only of blank characters (LYBookmark.c). When rendering a bookmark + file, use hiddenlinks=merge counting, so that numbers after entries with + empty titles don't get out of whack (GridText.c). This should prevent 'R' + from removing the wrong bookmark entry - KW +* prevent generation of some unnecessary temp files when constructing mailcap + file test commands (HTInit.c) - KW +* include LYLeaks.h in UCdomap.c for memory leak detection - KW +* fixed various memory leaks (UCdomap.c, LYShowInfo.c, LYReadCFG.c, LYMain.c, + LYDownload.c, LYBookmark.c, HTML.c, DefaultStyle.c) - KW +* escape '&' and '<' in HTML generated to display current lynx.cfg option + values (LYReadCFG.c) - KW +* revert logic in split_line. Emphasis highlighting that should extend over + several lines was being lost at line breaks (GridText.c). (IsSpecialAttrChar + probably shouldn't return true for LY_SOFT_NEWLINE since in most places it + tests whether to skip a character position, but as long as this special char + is only used in SOURCE mode it cannot mess up any anchor positions so it + should be ok. - KW +* correct character counting in SOURCE display continuation lines. A + highlighted search target would be shown shifted left by one character + position because the LY_SOFT_NEWLINE special was displayed as '+' but not + counted (GridText.c) - KW +* prevent generation of invalid/unparseable comments if + UCSaveBookmarksInUnicode is in effect, other minor changes in + LYBookmark.c - KW +* correction for color styles in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). At some + point a memmove was replaced by a for loop, but source and destination were + reversed and the counter was wrong - KW +* modify HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 to use a more generic approach to varargs by + using only va_alist in the parameter list - TD +* correct html expression in LYShowInfo.c of dev.3 which did not allow the temp + file with the lynx.cfg settings to be accessed from the Configuration + Definitions page (patch by IC (Ismael Cordeiro)). +* correct "Exiting" message format in cleanup_sig(), which had unexpanded %d + (reported by BJP) - TD +* add to config.hin the definitions set by AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro (PG pointed + out that this also sets 'inline', needed for GNU gettext) - TD +* modify MakeNewTitle() to check for null pointer, fixing core dump with + verbose images when value[src_type] is null (reported by John Bley + <jbb6@acpub.duke.edu> for 2.8.1rel.2) - TD + +1998-11-18 (2.8.2dev.4) +* change default for configure option of NLS (gettext) to disabled until we + finish porting it to implementations other than GNU gettext. Also, + change default for include-gettext configure option to "with" - TD +* suppress cookie-storing if the value is null - BJP +* ifdef'd alternative set of line-edit bindings with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS, add + configure option --enable-alt-bindings, rename DELEOL to DELEL, remove + binding of DELEL to '\' - TD +* add alternative set of line-edit bindings to change the behavior of the ^B + and ^F line editor bindings to provide emacs/tcsh like behavior (cursor + left/right), instead of "word" deletes. Corrected a bug in the ^R (LYE_DELN) + function, which is described as "delete next character", but was in fact + performing identically to ^D (LYE_DELC) "delete current character". Added a + function called LYE_DELEL, which does the expected thing, and deletes + from the current cursor position, to the EOL. + New bindings: + ^B = LYE_BACK cursor backwards + ^F = LYE_FORW cursor forwards + ^K = LYE_DELEOL delete to end-of-line + ^T = LYE_DELNW delete next word + ^X = LYE_DELPW delete previous word + ^^ = LYE_UPPER upper case line (not active when kbd-layout binding is) + ^_ = LYE_LOWER lower case line + KED (Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com>). +* modify to show address to submit to on the statusline when in advanced user + mode. Also fixes one small typo in LYMainLoop.c. (suggested by + <erisson@sw-tech.com>) - BJP +* modify HTParseInet() so that it works if stdin has been redirected to + /dev/null, e.g., when running a cron job (reported by John H DuBois III + <spcecdt@armory.com>) - BL +* minor documentation updates to lynx.cfg (Larry Virden). +* change some character constants from '\hex' and '\octal' form to decimal, + to persuade compilers that upper-128 compares are legal - TD +* ifdef'd KEYBOARD_LAYOUT with EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT, add configure option + --enable-kbd-layout - TD +* implement EXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH for OS/2 EMX (Sergey Svishchev). +* add 'a' response when printing a file to allow append rather than overwrite + (Sergey Svishchev). +* add KEYBOARD_LAYOUT to lynx.cfg, to support character-translation on input, + add missing line editing style selection to Options form. This is enabled + and disabled by the line edit control/uparrow (Sergey Svishchev + <svs@ropnet.ru>). +* use exit_immediately() to reduce some signal-function clutter - LP +* correct dependency in src/makefile.in for cfg_defs.h (Masashi Fujita + <objectx@bandit.co.jp>) +* change quoted includes in intl directory to bracketed includes - TD + +1998-11-16 (2.8.2dev.3) +* misc documentation updates for the gettext/internationalization - LP +* rename po/makefile.in.in to po/makefile.inn, and modify distclean rule to + remove the remaining generated files - TD +* preliminary changes to support port to OS/390, some ifdef'd with __MVS__, + some with EBCDIC and NOT_ASCII -PG +* modify LYCookie.c to accept cookies with no value, in case the site resets a + cookie by nulling out the value (reported by Larry Virden) - BJP +* modify cookie parsing to ignore comment lines beginning with a '#' (reported + by Jonathan Bobin indicates that Netscape adds comments back, confusing + Lynx) - BJP +* highlight option letters in old options screen (adapted from patch by Ismael + Cordeiro) - TD +* use HTSprintf functions in HText_SubmitForm(), user_message(), + LYLoadIMGmap(), HTTelnet.c. (The HTTelnet.c modifications fix a security + hole reported by Martin Mokrejs) - TD +* add HTSprintf, HTSprintf0 functions, to use in resolving potential buffer + overflows - TD +* modify HTVMS_purge() to rename the remaining file to version 1 unless a + permissions problem was encountered - TD + +1998-11-10 (2.8.2dev.2) +* some testing against Solaris gettext implementation, enough to see that it is + not really compatible either source or binary with GNU gettext.

Documentation corrected + (option_help.html/Lynx_User_guide.html). Minor tip: "Central and Eastern + European" was truncated to "Eastern European" because of space limitation in + popup menu.

This may be not a good idea to have + two functions in sync but those functions are synchronized anyway. Please + read comments inside the functions if change something! - LP +* add new functions BeginInternalPage and EndInternalPage to reduce clutter in + code that sets up internal pages (email from LP). +* change version in makefile.in to 2-8-1 -DK +* the code in GridText that adds control characters to the current line + does not test for buffer overflow. Normally Lynx gets away with this because + it will wrap the current line as soon as the line exceeds the display width, + but if you have a file with nothing but control characters with no + displayable text in-between (a few thousand hidden links will do), then Lynx + bombs.

Otherwise HTDisplayPartial() sometimes was + matching old HTMainText (with its own line counter) and repaint previous doc, + not a new one. TRACE log now got a message from HText_pageDisplay - LP +* fixed last chartrans changes, lines such as + #0x99 #NOTDEFINED + should not be commented with leading comment symbol because they are ignored + by makeuctbl in fact - LP +* modify DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS to only modify the nonstandard case, + thereby making that more restrictive, and restoring standard behavior + (reported by HN) - TD + +1998-08-21 (2.8.1dev.22) +* correct test for -std1 compiler option on Digital Unix (reported by Michael + Warner) - TD +* modify treatment of COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS, so that if it is set TRUE, two or more + concurrent BRs will be collapsed into a single blank line.

Also, fixed the core + dump when clickable_images is on. The problem was an oversight in + MakeNewTitle() - LE +* reviewed the INSTALLATION file as it relates to DOS and updated it for the + newly released version of PDCurses 2.3. Added the HAVE_GETBKGD define to + makefile.dos, fixes some of the unusual background color handling that was + present in the PDCurses DOS port - DK +* correct ifdef: LYOptions.c fails to build with -DEXP_FORMS_OPTIONS but + _without_ -DDIRED_SUPPORT (e.g., djgpp) - LP +* redesigned cookie_add_{accept,reject}list in LYCookie.c -- they work now -BJP +* added COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS in .lynxrc handling to LYrcFile.c - BJP +* slight spacing fix in lynx.cfg - BJP +* added blurb in lynx.cfg about COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP +* -accept_all_cookies on the commandline works as a toggle now (against + lynx.cfg value -- NOT against .lynxrc value) - BJP +* change HTAlert for bad partial reference to an HTUserMsg to make it less + annoying (request by Philip Webb, Jason F McBrayer) + +1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21) +* correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD +* reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros, + PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD +* modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options, + by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and + calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP +* add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD +* add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD +* make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD +* exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP +* The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx + actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for + arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on + the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were + failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps + these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP + mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the + patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and + makefile.wsl - DK +* The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the + default - DK +* correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK +* modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document + source - TD +* add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD +* clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman). +* Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with + a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU + (NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey + Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset + frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g. + on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid. + Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported + starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg + added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP +* Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choises which are not available under + the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print + to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP +* Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize + option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label + "raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for + others.

It + appears to be not completely necessary: makes Lynx a little faster, at the + cost of making the tagsoup parser do the wrong thing. Some entries in the + tagsoup DTD table versus the sortasgml table have SGML_EMPTY versus + SGML_MIXED. This information is used to control unstacking (in the + color-style configuration as well).
