+--- Rename of Lynx2-4-FM and release as Lynx2-5 (02-May-1996) ---
+==============================================================================
+05-02-96 ---- Release of Lynx2-5 ----
+* Modified documentation, help, and example files based on feedback for
+ yesterday's Lynx2-5 pre-release. - FM
+* Include ";q=0.001" whenever "iso8859-1" or "us-ascii" are autoappended
+ to Accept-charset headers. - FM
+* Added SITE_LIBS symbol in Makefile for convenient linking to any
+ site-specific libraries associated with any site-specific patches. - FM
+* Fixed an unsigned char typecast in GridText.c - FM
+* Eliminated statusline and TRACE warnings about possibly strange formatting
+ when TABLEs are in a document. - FM
+05-01-96
+* Renamed Lynx2-4-FM for pre-release as Lynx2-5
+04-30-96
+* Modified the fatal error messages such that they direct the user to
+ the local system administrator to confirm a bug before reporting it
+ to lynx-dev, and started updated the help and about files for the
+ switch to lynx-dev@sig.net as the primary list server. - FM
+04-28-96
+* Made use of ordered versus unordered lists and inclusion of article dates
+ in listings for news groups compilation and configuration options in
+ userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM
+04-27-96
+* Added -realm switch for restricting URLs to the realm of the startfile.
+ The bookmark and jumps files are always considered as part of the realm.
+ Any execution links or form ACTIONs are permitted if obtained from
+ documents in the realm, but any switches that restrict bookmark operations
+ will still apply. For example, -book -realm will use the bookmark file
+ as the startfile, and restrict URLs to files in the user's account. Adding
+ -restrictions=bookmark_exec will block execution links in the bookmark
+ file, but not in other files within the realm (i.e., in the user's
+ account). If the startfile is an http URL, the realm will be equivalent
+ to that in http authorization procedures. Can be used with -traversal
+ for restricting the traversal to documents within the starting realm
+ for an http server. - FM
+* Fixed bug in form structure which could cause POST to be treated as
+ GET. - FM
+04-25-96
+* Added code to send Host: headers as described in the 23-Apr-96 HTTP/1.1
+ draft. - FM
+04-23-96
+* Modified HTMIME.c to pass documents with an ISO-8859-3 through -9, EUC-KR,
+ or ISO-2022-KR charset specified in the Content-Type header, to set the
+ flag for not doing 8-bit reverse translations, and to issue a statusline
+ message about the charset instead of forcing a download offer. Will have
+ garbage in the displays of 8-bit characters if one doesn't have the
+ corresponding charset installed for the terminal, but no harm should be
+ done, and those who do can get the files displayed instead of just being
+ up the creek without a paddle. Korean escape sequences will still be
+ trashed, since be have no translation functions as for Japanese, and we
+ still force a download offer if there is a mismatch for the supported
+ character sets, so the user can cancel and then modify the terminal setup
+ and charset choice appropriately. - FM
+* Increased the maximum number of attributes for tags (was too small for
+ OBJECT), updated the DTD for SCRIPT, and added the STYLE attribute for
+ all tags which presently, or might someday, accept it. - FM
+04-21-96
+* Modified the news gateway to use an ordered list with the numbers and
+ dates of the articles indicated in newsgroup listings. - FM
+* Fixed the checking and passing of the mailto argument in LYMainLoop.c
+ to mailmsg() in LYMail.c. - FM
+04-20-96
+* Fixed bugs in parsing of nntp and snews partial HREFs, and in the
+ parsing of NNTP message headers for creation of mailto and newspost
+ or newsrepy links. - FM
+04-19-96
+* Added OBJECT and BODYTEXT to the DTD, based on the 12-Apr-96 W3C draft.
+ The code for INSERT is still there, and should be remove if OBJECT
+ becomes a stable replacement. Code to handle data URLs for OBJECTs
+ not yet attempted. - FM
+* More tweaks for Japanese character handling. - FM
+04-18-96
+* If LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, include the list of references in the
+ outputs of 'p'rint menu options, analogously to the output with
+ -dump. - FM
+04-14-96
+* Mods to report the content of SCRIPT, STYLE and ALIAS blocks in trace
+ mode. - FM
+* Made &die;, &macr; and &trade; synonyms for &uml;, &hibar; and &reg;,
+ respectively. - FM
+* Fixed typo in second line link highlighting code for slang. - ES
+04-13-96
+* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM
+* Reinitialize timeout values after select() calls in LYUtils.c. - ES
+04-12-96
+* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM
+* Tweak of target line and link setting when toggling to image_links mode
+ in LYMainLoop.c. - FM
+* Tweaks of circular buffer handling based on analyses from Mike Castle
+ (mcastle@umr.edu) and Bryan T. Vold (btv@ldl.HealthPartners.COM). - FM
+* Fixed typo for NeXT in tcp.h, based on feedback from LWV - FM
+* Reinitialize timeout values after select() calls in HTTCP.c. - Erik
+ Sundkvist (ess@lysator.liu.se)
+04-11-96
+* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM
+* Added code for handling charset mappings for file and ftp URLs. - FM
+ You can set the mappings via lynx.cfg (or mime.types), e.g.:
+ SUFFIX:.html8R:text/html; charset=KOI8-R
+ SUFFIX:.txt8R:text/plain; charset=KOI8-R
+* Tweak of charset handling in HTMIME.c - FM
+04-09-96
+* Modified news gateway to handle split header lines. - FM
+* Tweaks of authorization header handling to make failures due to bad
+ headers from the http server clear to the Lynx user. - FM
+04-08-96
+* Yet more tweaks of memory management. - FM
+04-07-96
+* Tweaks for handling Japanese received via gateways. - FM
+04-06-96
+* More memory management tweaks. - FM
+04-05-96
+* Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and the online help files. - FM
+* Tweaks of INPUT, TEXTAREA and SELECT popup OPTION handling when
+ Japanese character translations are on. - FM
+04-04-96
+* Created new zip. Yesterday's appears to have been bad. - FM
+04-03-96
+* More optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM
+* More mods for handling keyboard input via SLANG library functions,
+ based on patches from JED. Note that the code for IGNORE_CTRL_C
+ has been bypassed in those mods, as they presently stand. - FM
+04-02-96
+* Added "first pass" handling of P end tags. - FM
+* Mods of HTCheckForInterrupt() for SLANG, based on patches from JED.
+ Note that the for-SLANG code is not taking possible SOCKSification of
+ Lynx into account. - FM
+* Use 3 for ^C instead of 7 for ^G as the argument for the slang abort
+ key in calls to SLang_init_tty(). - JED
+* Tweaks of make for clix. - AM
+03-31-96
+* More tweaks of memory management. - FM
+03-30-96
+* Added support for Japanese translations of text/plain in addition to
+ text/html documents, and for ALTs and form fields (see 03-26-96 mods).
+ Needs checking. Also added an LYK_JPN_TOGGLE, mapped to '@' by default,
+ for toggling JAPANESE mode ON and OFF, and code to indicate the situation
+ in the 'o'ptions menu. - FM
+* Added make for ultrix-slang and decstation-slang, and tweaks of LYCgi.c
+ for ultrix. - Alvian Tam (atm@newt.phys.unsw.edu.au)
+* Found and fixed some typos in yesterday's mods. - FM
+03-29-96
+* Added build-slang.com for building Lynx with the SLANG library instead
+ of curses on VMS. - FM
+* Mod to treat an EOF with errno of EINTR when GetChar() is defined as
+ getchar() in LYgetch() as due to a Ctrl-Z suspend, and invoke another
+ character fetch instead of exit on error. Based on patch from Gregory
+ Neil Shapiro (gshapiro@WPI.EDU). - FM
+* Numerous optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM
+03-28-96
+* More tweaks of SLANG support. - FM
+* Yet more tweaks of the HTList functions and macros, and their associated
+ memory management. - FM
+03-27-96
+* Fixed bug which could cause a crash if links are numbered and you
+ activate a link via a number when there are no links on the currently
+ displayed page. - FM
+* Tweaks of Content-Encoding header handling, and more detailed messages
+ about it in trace mode. - FM
+03-26-96
+* Added code in HTMIME.c for taking into account Content-Encoding headers,
+ so that compressed text/html or text/plain files are not displayed
+ inappropriately based on their Content-Type. - FM
+* Added "first pass" support for Japanese character translations, based on
+ patches for Lynx2-4-1 by Takuya Asada (asada@icsd6.tj.chiba-u.ac.jp). Is
+ to be checked out by Nelson Henry Eric (nelsonhe@ews07.nara.kindai.ac.jp)
+ because I have no way to check it here. Translations can be made the
+ default behavior by setting JAPANESE to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or
+ lynx.cfg. The default can be toggled via a "-jpn" command line switch.
+ If made TRUE by any means, the value of KANJI_CODE set in userdefs.h
+ and or lynx.cfg (EUC, SJIS, or NONE) will be applied, and can be changed
+ via "-euc", "-sjis" or "-ascii" command line switches, for setting Kanji
+ code translations to EUC, Shift JIS, or disabling it, respectively. Note
+ that Japanese translations are not yet performed in the line editor
+ (LYgetstr() of LYStrings.c and form_getstr() of LYForms.c), for form
+ field values, or for gateways (let's first see if what I've done so far
+ works right 8-) - FM
+* Added "LY" prefix for pop(), pop_num() and push() function names to
+ avoid possible conflicts with the ncurses library functions, and fixed
+ continuation line typo in solaris2 make, based on feedback from PN. - FM
+03-23-96
+* Tweaks of memory management in the CSO/PH gateway. - FM
+* Tweaks of wait() versus waitpid() handling for NeXT, aix4 and mips,
+ based on feedback from PN. - FM
+03-22-96
+* Tweaks of SLANG support for Unix, and finished up code support for it on
+ VMS (but tested only with OpenVMS/AXP). Haven't yet decided how to add
+ VMS build support for it in the COM and MMS files. Get the SLANG library
+ code from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis and then add USE_SLANG in the
+ DEFINE list and the path to it's headers in the INCLUDE list for the
+ compilation, and [path]slang.olb/lib in the link list immediately before
+ the OPT file. We still need the curses library in the OPT file, because
+ that's not just curses functions on VMS and we're using ones not replaced
+ by the SLANG library (Try it, you'll like it! 8-). - FM
+* Tweaks for NeXT, based on feedback from Paul Nevai
+ (nevai@ops.mps.ohio-state.edu). - FM
+03-20-96
+* Tweaks of code for sorting directory listings by date (take into account
+ the 6-month-old time versus year rule on Unix). - FM
+* Tweaks of memory management for HTList-based buffers (use internal
+ allocations, instead of the libwww macros). - FM
+* Added solaris2-slang to Makefile, and tweaks of the sun4 makes. - LWV
+03-19-96
+* Tweak of MAP handling so that the ordered lists are displayed exactly
+ in the order of the resolved AREA tags.
+03-18-96
+* Added SLANG support (for colorized Lynx) based on patches from JED.
+ The make support is for linux and sun4, but it should be portable to
+ other Unix flavors. I have it working on VMS, but the SLANG interrupt
+ and exit handlers are incompatible with the current ones for VMS in
+ Lynx (and with the VMS debugger), so I haven't yet included SLANG
+ support in build.com or the MMS files. - FM
+03-17-96
+* Tweaks of 'd'ownload menu handling on returns to it from a DOWNLOADER
+ action. - FM
+* Added various anti-crash protections and cleaner code from John E. Davis
+ (davis@space.mit.edu) for trimming trailing white space and finding
+ unescaped colons in LYReadCFG.c, and cleaned up and more fully commented
+ the functions and subfunctions in that and the LYMainLoop.c modules. - FM
+03-16-96
+* Fixed routine which sorts directory listings by date (based on 'o'ptions
+ menu setting) to do it accurately and in reverse chronological order. - FM
+03-15-96
+* Added code to create links for likely URLs in results returned by
+ the CSO/PH and finger gateways. Try:
+ gopher://ns.bradley.edu:105/2 or:
+ cso://ns.bradley.edu/ and search for David Henderson.
+ Also try:
+ gopher://cegt201.bradley.edu:79/0/w%20davidh or:
+ finger://cegt201.bradley.edu/w/davidh as URL.s - FM
+* Added LYK_INTERRUPT handling for the CSO/PH and finger gateways, and
+ made their memory management more efficient. - FM
+* Made the my_spawn() function in LYLocal.c more portable by using
+ waitpid() instead of wait(). - FM
+* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current position and link
+ on return from 'e'dit. May be wrong if the file was modified, but it
+ might be in the right ball park, and nothing really bad will happen if
+ it's far off. - FM
+03-14-96
+* Added -reload switch for instructing Lynx to send "Pragma: no-cache" and
+ "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers when requesting the startfile from an
+ http server (doesn't apply to subsequent fetches, or to non-http startfile
+ URLs). - Peter Ekberg (peda@lysator.liu.se)
+* Put the correct LYMain.c, which declares no_change_exec_perms, in the zip
+ (second try, hope I really did 8-). - FM
+03-13-96
+* Yet more tweaks of the CSO/PH gateway. - FM
+* Yet more tweaks of the finger gateway. - FM
+03-12-96
+* Made the URL and command buffering in the finger gateway secure from stack
+ modifications, beautified the HTLoadFinger() and response() functions, and
+ added support for the following URL formats for sending a "", "/w",
+ "username", or "/w username" command to the finger server:
+ finger://host finger://@host
+ finger://host/ finger://@host/
+ finger://host/%2fw finger://@host/w
+ finger://host/w finger://host/w/
+ finger://host/username[@host] finger://username@host
+ finger://host/username[@host]/ finger://username@host/
+ finger://host/w/username[@host] finger://username@host/w
+ finger://host/%2fw%20username[@host] finger://host/username[@host]/w
+* Replaced the _tolower macro in the CSO/PH gateway with TOLOWER. - FM
+* Tweaks of DIRED_SUPPORT. Added NO_CHANGE_EXECUTE_PERMS compilation
+ symbol and change_exec_perms restrictions switch for restricting
+ changes of the eXecute permissions to directories, and not files,
+ when OK_PERMIT has been set. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca) & FM
+* Added make support for Intergraph CLIX (note that some online help files
+ must be edited and renamed to meet this Unix flavor's 14 character file
+ name limit). - Alex Matulich (matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil)
+03-11-96
+* Added support for using finger://host/w/username to send "/w username"
+ to finger (port 79) servers. - FM
+* Tweaks of alignment handling to deal with (illegally) embedded CENTER
+ containers (typically due to omission of an end tag for the first
+ CENTER of the pair; ugh!). - FM
+03-10-96
+* Added form-based CSO/PH (port 105) gateway. Can be invoked via a
+ cso://host[:port]/ or gopher://host[:port]/2 URL. If the gopher
+ format is used and a query token is appended (?[query]), the old
+ ISINDEX-based gateway will be used. - FM
+03-07-96
+* Added NO_FROM_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -nofrom
+ command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of From headers
+ by Lynx. - FM
+* Added NO_REFERER_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -noreferer
+ command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of Referer headers
+ by Lynx. - FM
+* Enhancements of the 'o'ptions menu. - FM
+03-06-96
+* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current document position
+ and link on (^R)eloads. Will be wrong if the document is actually a
+ changing script output, or SSI with changes in the sizes of inserts,
+ and any form entries will be lost with no warning about that if no
+ form links are in the currently displayed page (and there may be other
+ glitches I don't remember any more). However, it's correct, and more
+ convenient, most of the time, and nothing really bad will happen if
+ it's wrong. - FM
+03-05-96
+* Added SAVE_SPACE configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and LYNX_SAVE_SPACE
+ environment variable (Unix) or logical (VMS) for setting a default path
+ prefix in suggested filenames in Save to Disk operations of the 'p'rint
+ and 'd'ownload menus. If not set, only a filename will be suggested,
+ for saving in the current default directory. See the INSTALLATION file
+ and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM
+03-02-96
+* If an IMG tag has both ISMAP and USEMAP attributes, create links for
+ both, and use the ALT string, if present, for the USEMAP link. The
+ server-side script might have a content-rich default set up for non-GUI
+ clients, so we may as well be able to try it, and still have our own
+ USEMAP listing available if it's a site unconcerned about text and
+ braille clients, or GUI clients with image loading turned off. - FM
+* Tweaks of MAP code to maximize efficiency of fetching and processing
+ MAPs from a different document. - FM
+* Make sure the traversal code doesn't get tripped up by any HREFs
+ which contain newline characters due to misparsing (e.g., because a
+ close-double-quote wasn't present where required, and soft_dquotes
+ wasn't toggled ON, or invalid comments were present, and minimal or
+ historical comment parsing weren't toggled ON). - FM
+* Renamed LYK_RESUBMIT ('x' or 'X') to LYK_NOCACHE and modified it's code
+ so that it applies to normal links as well as form submit buttons. If
+ used instead of LYK_ACTIVATE, any HText cache from a previous submission
+ or request will be dumped, and the submission or request will be made
+ with the "Pragma: no-cache" and "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers
+ included, to ensure that a proxy/cache server also will not return a
+ cached copy (assuming it respects either of those headers). - FM
+03-01-96
+* Converted the client-side image MAP code to a protocol which returns
+ a stream, rather than using a temporary file. This allows saving
+ the link as a bookmark, for fetching the MAP and creating a listing
+ without need to fetch and render the original document. Also enabled
+ direct downloading of the MAP listing. - FM
+02-29-96
+* Added handling of client-side image MAPs. If both USEMAP and ISMAP
+ attributes are present, the client-side MAP is used instead of the
+ the server-side script. The MAPs can be in the same or different
+ documents. The HREFs of the AREA tags are presented as a list,
+ with their ALTs (if present, otherwise their HREFs) as the link names
+ in the list. Added a TITLE attribute for MAPs, which will be ignored
+ by GUI clients, but if present will be used by Lynx as an H1 for the
+ list (MAP NAME="welcomemap" TITLE="Welcome Map"). Otherwise, the
+ IMG's ALT (if present, otherwise "[USEMAP]") will be used as an H1
+ in the list. The MAP's resolved URL also is shown in the list, since
+ the URL for the list is a temporary file. - FM
+02-25-96
+* Added a MINIMAL_COMMENTS configuration symbol, which if set TRUE in
+ lynx.cfg will emulate the Netscape v2.0 comment parsing bug of seeking
+ only a '-->' terminator, and not interpreting '--' pairs as serial
+ comments within the overall comment element. The compilation default
+ is FALSE, but we'll set it TRUE in lynx.cfg until Netscape gets its
+ comment parsing right, and "decorative" dashes in comment elements
+ cease to be so common in "Enhance for Netscape" pages. Also added
+ a '-minimal' command line switch for toggling the Minimal or Valid
+ configuration setting, and an LYK_MINIMAL command key toggle (mapped
+ by default to backquote). Note that setting Historical comments on
+ will override the Minimal or Valid setting (i.e., any '>' will be
+ treated as the terminator of a comment element). A statusline
+ message indicates whether Historical, Minimal or Valid comment
+ parsing has gone into effect when the LYK_MINIMAL or LYK_HISTORICAL
+ command key toggles are used (i.e., those two toggles in effect are
+ a "troggle"). - FM
+02-22-96
+* Tweak of HTList manipulations. - FM
+* Additions to the online help. - FM
+* Unescape any hex escaped username and/or password in ftp URLs. - FM
+02-20-96
+* Handle timeout disconnects of cached NNTP connections. - FM
+* Allow head or tail match specifications (e.g., comp.infosystems.*
+ or *.unix) in news, nntp and snews URLs (That's illegal, so don't
+ use it in public documents.). - FM
+* Tweak of bookmark handling. - Ismael Cordeiro (ismael@CAM.ORG)
+02-16-96
+* Tweak of the new code for setting a default CHECKED radio button. - FM
+02-15-96
+* Issue a sensible exit message if a non-http URL is used as the startfile
+ with -traversal. - FM
+* Tweaks of bookmark handling. - FM
+* Tweaks of Home_Dir() type casting. - FM
+02-14-96 Happy Valentine's Day!!!
+* Tweaks of charset conversions. - FM
+02-12-96
+* Made inclusion of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT the compilation default, and
+ its refinement easier to understand and set in the Makefile. - Will
+ Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com) & FM
+* Changed (X) and ( ) to [X] and [ ] for indicating checked or unchecked
+ checkboxes. For radio buttons, we still use (*) and ( ). - FM
+02-11-96
+* Distinguish checkboxes from radio buttons in the Lynx display by using
+ (X) versus (*), respectively, when they are checked or selected. - FM
+* Make the first radio button in a series with the same NAME checked by
+ default if none of them had CHECKED specified. - FM
+02-09-96
+* Added LYK_HISTORICAL and LYK_SOFT_DQUOTES, mapped by default to the
+ the single- and double-quote keys, respectively, for toggling valid
+ versus "historical" comment parsing, and valid versus "old Mosaic-
+ and Netscape-like" double-quote parsing. - FM
+* Added SCRIPT to the DTD and code to ensure that bad comments in its
+ content don't generate garbage in the display. - FM
+* Added -DSVR4 to the make for solaris2. - KH
+* Use copy instead of rename in descrip.mms for putting lynx.exe in the
+ top directory, as in build.com. - FM
+* Added TITLE attribute to FORM, and code to use it for the Subject in
+ mailto ACTIONs. It's not in the spec, but better to offer it than
+ to settle into Netscape's ?subject=foo tack-on kludge which breaks
+ mailto for clients which haven't added code to cope with it. - FM
+02-08-96
+* Added -book switch for using the bookmark page as the startfile. The
+ default or command line startfile will still be set for the 'm'ain screen
+ command, and be used as the startfile if the bookmark page is unavailable
+ or blank. - FM
+* Fixed glitch for Unix in yesterday's LYMail.c mods. - FM
+* Try graceful alternatives if getenv("HOME") returns NULL. - Kenneth Herron
+ (kherron@campus.mci.net) & FM
+02-07-96
+* Added support for the ?subject=foo tack-on kludge to specify the Subject
+ in mailto ACTIONs and HREFs. - FM
+* Convert Explorer's semi-colon Internet address separators to commas
+ before acting on mailto address lists on Unix or VMS. - FM
+* Made EMBED empty again (the W3C container version has been replaced
+ by INSERT, and Netscape still has it empty). - FM
+02-06-96
+* Tweaks of descrip.mms files for VMS. - FM
+02-04-96
+* Fixed caching of news/nntp connections so that we access the correct host
+ when more than one has been specified. - FM
+02-03-96
+* Added ndash and mdash to the entities conversion tables. The W3C's
+ DTD specifies those, whereas the text descriptions say endash and
+ emdash, so we'll cover all the bases by supporting all four. - FM
+* Reduced the "en" metric for TAB to 2 per column. Was 12, to be
+ compatible with UdiWWW, but that's pixels. You can change the enval
+ initialization in HTML.c from 2 to 12 if you want the old behavior. - FM
+* Force use of DECC in build.com if that compiler is installed on VMS,
+ and make sure external logicals don't defeat a choice of DECC via
+ descrip.mms. - FM
+02-02-96
+* Mods to handle lone CRs as newlines when displaying text/plain files
+ from MAC servers. Note that they'll stay CRs when downloading, or
+ fetching with -source, but be handled as newlines when the '\' source
+ toggle is used for text/html files and their source is displayed as
+ text/plain. - FM
+01-31-96
+* Added dummy initializers in LYCharSets.c and LYEditmap.c to ensure the
+ modules are linked if the external model is common block and they are
+ placed in a library. - FM
+01-30-96
+* For submissions of forms with a mailto ACTION, allow the user to edit
+ the default Subject string (the TITLE of the document containing the
+ form) via a statusline prompt, or to cancel the submission via Ctrl-G
+ at the prompt, analogously to 'c'omments or for anchors with a mailto
+ HREF. - FM
+01-29-96
+* Typo fixes in HTML.c, LYJump.c and LYGetFile.c. - PM
+01-28-96
+* Tweaks of redirection handling. - FM
+01-27-96
+* Support use of the TITLE attribute for setting the Subject in LINKs with
+ REV="made" or REV="owner" and a mailto HREF, equivalently to its use
+ with anchors in the BODY. - FM
+* Always use the parent document's URL for X-URL in mailto anchors, but
+ still use mailto:address if it was entered as a 'g'oto. - FM
+* Improvements of the code in LYMainLoop.c for checking the types of
+ links (first make sure that there are links to check 8-). - FM
+01-26-96
+* Made LYCharSets.c an object module instead of header for HTML.c, and
+ created LYCharUtils.c with character-related functions from HTML.c,
+ to reduce the size of HTML.c (got a report of memory exhaustion when
+ trying to compile HTML.c). - FM
+* Added BGSOUND to the DTD and code for creating a link to the source
+ when clickable_images is set. - FM
+01-24-96
+* Tweak of URL resolving when http servers return the obsolete file URL
+ format for what are actually ftp URLs (as DEC's servers are doing). - FM
+* Added LYE_LOWER and LYE_UPPER for lower or upper casing lines with the
+ line editor. Default bindings are Ctrl-K and Ctrl-T, respectively (not
+ "intuitive" but they're the only "safe" non-printing keys left 8-). - FM
+01-23-96
+* Yet more tweaks aimed at getting Lynx to compile across versions of
+ MultiNet through v3.5A and DECC through v5.2 or VAXC. Pat Rankin
+ is trying to cope with this mess for compilations with MultiNet and
+ his VMS port of GNUC (cross your fingers 8-). - FM
+* Updates of the help and about files. - FM
+* Tweak of sendmail path for BSDI. - Bennett Todd (bet@ritz.mordor.com)
+01-22-96
+* More tweaks for dealing with header conflicts in MultiNet v3.5A with
+ DECC v5.2. - FM
+* Tweak of our kludge to append a 0,0 coordinate pair for ISMAP URLs. - FM
+* Tweaks of base handling in HTML.c. - FM
+01-20-96
+* Mods for builds with NetBSD, or MultiNet v3.5A with DECC v5.2 (they
+ have conficting headers). FM & PR
+01-18-96
+* Improved and corrected the fatal error messages. - FM
+01-17-96
+* Added ability to set the NNTPSERVER environment variable via lynx.cfg if
+ it has not been set externally (analogously to the proxy variables). - FM
+* Tweaks of proxy handling. - FM
+* Modified the "Accept-Language: " header handling so that it uses the
+ "preferred document lang(G)uage" string without any modifications.
+ This allows the user to specify a comma-separated string with quality
+ values included, exactly to his/her requirements. - FM
+01-16-96
+* Modified the traversal code so that it always outputs to an error file if
+ requests fail or unknown statuses are received from the http server. - FM
+* Added target "sun4-ncurses" to the Makefile. - Bennett E. Todd
+ (bet@nyc.fcmc.com)
+* Tweaks of "preferred document lan(G)uage" and "preferred document c(H)arset"
+ 'o'ptions handling. Send only the preference or comma-separated list of
+ preferences in the "Accept-Language: " and "Accept-Charset: " headers.
+ Append ", en" if "en" isn't present, and ", ISO-8859-1" and/or ", US-ASCII"
+ if those aren't present, rather than relying on servers to honor defaults,
+ but still don't send an "Accept-Charset: " header at all if no preference
+ has been specified by the user. - FM
+* Fixed typos in the about and help files. - FM
+01-15-96
+* Tweaks of bold and underline setting in split_line() of GritText.c. - FM
+* Fixed handling of FORM start tags with no ACTION specified. - FM
+* Tweaks of "IBM PC character set" and added "IBM PC codepage 850"
+ (ISO8859-1, see IBMPC-charsets.announce). - Mike Brown (mike@hyperreal.com)
+* Check in userdefs.h whether LYNX_CGF_FILE has been defined via the
+ Makefile, build.com or descrip.mms. - PG
+* Created CHANGES2-3 with changes through release of Lynx2-3 on 04-19-94,
+ and CHANGES2-4 with subsequent changes through the rename of lynx2-3-FM
+ to Lynx2-4 and its release on 06-18-95, and deleted those sections from
+ this file. - FM
+* Added the new Copyright and links to it in about_lynx.html. - FM
+01-11-96
+* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c for compatibility across versions of FreeWAIS. - FM
+* Unescape any hex escaped percents in mailto URLs and ACTIONs. - FM
+01-10-96
+* Added an LYCheckForProxyURL() function, and a PROXY_URL_TYPE return value
+ for is_url(), so that Lynx can proxy URLs with an unknown scheme if a
+ proxy for the scheme has been set, e.g., if "foo_proxy" has been set
+ to "http://host/", then "foo:blah", where "blah" may or may not begin
+ with a slash, will be handled as "http://host/foo:blah". Components of
+ "blah" will be checked versus "no_proxy", if set, but since we don't
+ know the default port for scheme "foo", the checks for any ports
+ associated with the no_proxy values may not be reliable (but if we
+ don't proxy, nor know the scheme, nor find "foo:blah" as a local file,
+ the URL would fail, anyway) - FM
+* Fixed typo in VMSPrint.com. - Paul Farnham (farnham@pasco.wednet.edu)
+01-06-96
+* Tweak of traversal code. - FM
+01-04-96
+* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ
+01-03-96
+* Added circular recall buffers for JUMP shortcuts. If multiple jumps
+ files are installed, each has it's own recall buffer. If Lynx was built
+ with PERMIT_GOTO_FROM_JUMP defined, any random URLs accessed via the JUMP
+ command are placed in the goto circular buffer, not that for shortcuts,
+ and a JUMP entry of the single character ':' for the target is treated
+ as a command to invoke the circular buffer of previously resolved goto
+ URLs (as if 'g'oto followed by Up-Arrow were used). - FM
+* Added GOTOBUFFER, homologous to JUMPBUFFER, for specifying via userdefs.h
+ and/or lynx.cfg whether to offer the previous goto URL, if any, for
+ reuse or editing whenever the 'g'oto command is entered, or simply rely
+ on invoking the circular buffer via the Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow keys for
+ accessing previously resolved goto URLs. - FM
+* Tweak of 'g'oto recall buffering loop in LYMainLoop.c. - AH
+01-02-96
+* Added circular recall buffering for 'g'oto URLs. Is invoked (if previous
+ URLs have been entered) via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow after entering the
+ 'g'oto command. - FM
+* Added circular recall buffering for WHEREIS queries. Buffer is shared with
+ that for ISINDEX queries, and invoked via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow following
+ the WHEREIS ('/') command. The 'n'ext command still uses the last WHEREIS
+ query, not necessarily the last entry in the recall buffer, which might
+ have been entered via a 's'earch command for an ISINDEX document. - FM
+* Extended treatment of FORMs which have only one INPUT (TYPE="text") field
+ for user entries as SUBMITting on press of RETURN in that field, so that
+ this behavior is retained if INPUT TYPE="hidden" fields are present. - FM
+* Tweaks of bookmark deletion sanity checks. - DT
+01-01-96 (Happy New Year!!!!)
+* Added circular recall buffer for ISINDEX queries. Up-Arrow will cycle
+ you from the most current query in the list to previous ones, and roll
+ from the oldest to the most current. Down-Arrow will cycle from the
+ oldest query to subsequent ones, and roll from the most current to the
+ oldest. If a previous query is reused, it is removed from the recall
+ buffer and reinserted as the most current.- FM
+* Plugged memory leaks in LYUtils.c and LYJump.c. - FM
+12-30-95
+* Added LOCALHOST_ALIAS symbols for lynx.cfg which can be set to local
+ host aliases or to trusted hosts at other sites which will be accepted
+ as "local" when the -localhost switch is set. - FM
+* Added the endash and emdash entities. - FM
+12-29-95
+* Use exit(0) versus exit(-1) more consistently for normal versus abnormal
+ exits, respectively. - FM
+12-26-95
+* Tweak of RELOAD handling for lynxcgi URLs. - FM
+* More anti-crash protections for bad HTML. - FM
+* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ
+12-23-95
+* Tweaks of directory building on VMS. - FM
+* Tweaks of log file declarations for direct wais builds. - FM
+* Tweak of DIRED_SUPPORT mods so that non-TAG entries don't show up when
+ there are tagged files. - DT
+12-22-95
+* Added HTMake_VMS_name() to HTFTP.c for use by Unix as well as VMS with
+ VMS ftp servers. - FM
+* Added INSERT and ALIAS to the DTD, updated PARAM and OVERLAY, and made
+ FIG a paragraphing block, all as described in the 12-21-95 W3C working
+ draft for INSERT. In contrast to FIG, the INSERT and "heritage" EMBED
+ and APPLET elements invoke paragraphing only if their content displayed
+ by Lynx dictates it. The rules for resolving the sources for INSERTs or
+ for handling its ISMAP attribute are extremely complicated, and are not
+ implemented. Let's wait to see how people in the "real world" try to
+ make sense of them and actually use INSERT (if they do 8-). We still
+ create source links in "clickable_image" mode for the "heritage" versions
+ of FIG, OVERLAY, EMBED and APPLET markup, and send a 0,0 cooridinate pair
+ for IMG with the ISMAP attribute. See comments in HTML.c - FM
+12-21-95
+* Fixed bug in yesterday's ftp password-handling mods that could cause a
+ crash, and handle ftp://user:@host/path as specified in RFC 1738. - FM
+* Added protection against crashes for SELECT tags without the (required)
+ NAME attribute. - FM
+* Added code in HTFTP.c for recognizing MS Windows (Chameleon NEWT) servers
+ and parsing their LIST output (tested on ftp://emoryi.jpl.nasa.gov/) - FM
+* Another typo fix for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM
+* Modified HTFTP.c to use personal_mail_address, if available, for the
+ password with anonymous FTP. It will still use "user@" (trim off the
+ host) if the host does not contain a dot and thus could not be a fully
+ qualified domain name, so it will work with Unix servers such as
+ ftp.uu.net (see get_connection() in HTFTP.c), but this will cause it
+ to fail with MS Windows servers. - FM
+* Added lots more info to the trace output for the ftp gateway. - FM
+12-20-95
+* Modified HTFTP.c to handle a hex escaped slash (%2F) following the
+ "punctuation" slash according to the strict provisions of RFC 1738
+ when connected to VMS ftp servers, so that a device can be in the
+ path and not be mishandled as a subdirectory, e.g., the URL
+ ftp://user:password@host/%2Fsys$common/syshlp
+ will create a directory listing for sys$common:[syshlp]. - FM
+* Fixed typo for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM
+12-19-95
+* Enhancements of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT (see header of LYLocal.c). - DT
+12-18-95
+* Tweaks of element and entity structure alignments. - FM
+12-17-95
+* Tweaks of APPLET CODEBASE attribute resolving. - FM
+* Added support for a -nosocks command line switch to turn off SOCKS proxy
+ usage if Lynx was SOCKSified. - Thomas Zerucha (tz@execpc.com)
+12-16-95
+* Added the APPLET element and attributes to the DTD, and code for
+ creating links to the Applet code via image_links - FM
+* Added code to handle password fields in telnet URLs. - FM
+* Expanded EMBED as an "attribute soup" (for compatibility with
+ old versions of Netscape). - FM
+12-15-95
+* Added PARAM, and its attributes in the W3C draft for EMBED, to the DTD,
+ and code in HTML.c to minimize the possibility of an INPUT belonging to
+ an EMBED being misassociated with a standard FORM container. - FM
+* Added "first pass" EMBED handling. Should be OK with both the W3C
+ container version and the Netscape "attribute soup" version (we'll
+ see 8-). The clickable_image switch and toggle ('*') are now misnomers.
+ They will cause creation of links to the EMBED SRCs whether they are
+ images or not. - FM
+* Enhancements of Unix uploading (see header of LYUpload.c). - GL
+12-14-95
+* Modified LYUnEscapeEntities() and LYExpandString() in HTML.c to make
+ it more likely that they'll be handled correctly across flavors of
+ compilers. - FM
+* Changed NETSCAPE_QUOTES and -netscape_quotes to SOFT_DQUOTES and
+ -soft_dquotes. - FM
+* Added '&' to the exclusion list for VMS suggested file names. - FM
+12-13-95
+* Added CAN_ANONYMOUS_GOTO_TELNET_PORT symbol which if set TRUE in
+ userdefs.h will allow anonymous users to specify a port in 'g'oto
+ commands for telnet URLs. - FM
+* Added NETSCAPE_QUOTES symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause
+ Lynx to emulate the Netscape bug of treating '>' as a co-terminator
+ of a double-quoted attribute value and the tag which contains it. - FM
+* Forgot to define FORM_LINK_RESUBMIT_MESSAGE in the distribution's
+ userdefs.h for yesterday's mods. - FM
+* Forgot to put the HTFile.c with the LIST_FORMAT mods into the
+ distribution (maybe I should just concentrate on Christmas 8-). - FM
+12-12-95
+* Changed handling of the no-cache META directive so that it applies to
+ the document which contains the META tag, rather than to any form submit
+ buttons within it. The form's CGI script should return a stream which
+ contains the directive to force resubmissions, and any (e.g., ISINDEX)
+ script or (e.g., foo.shtml) document can include the directive to
+ force reloading by Lynx. - FM
+* Added ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_FORMS symbol in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for setting
+ forced resubmissions of forms, and a -resubmit_forms command line switch
+ for toggling the default. - FM
+12-11-95
+* Moved values of LYStrings.h function key definitions from 0x80 - 0x8D to
+ 0x100 - 0x10D and modified all the structures and functions in LYKeymap.c
+ and LYEditmap.c accordingly. - FM
+* Added the KOI8-R (Russian) character set. - Andrey A. Chernov
+ (ache@astral.msk.su).
+* Replace gets() with fgets() for the Unix setup() in LYCurses.c - AAC
+* Tweaks for building with FreeBSD. - AAC & FM
+* Added handling of META directives for ISO-8859-2 and KOI8-R if the
+ document is text/html and a server header didn't already set the
+ charset. - AAC & FM
+12-10-95
+* Tweaks of memory management. - FM
+* Made the LONG_LIST parameters for Unix local directory listings
+ configurable via userdefs.h and lynx.cfg - DT
+12-09-95
+* Added code for re-computing and retaining the current link if it is still
+ on the page when using the LYK_UP_TWO and LYK_DOWN_TWO commands. - FM
+* Added support for nested emphasis tags (they're all still displayed as
+ HT_UNDERLINE, but no longer terminated prematurely). - FM
+12-08-95
+* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM
+* Tweak of META attribute definitions. - FM
+12-06-95
+* Don't reject LYNXKEYMAP and lynxcgi URLs with the -localhost switch. - FM
+12-05-95
+* Made the loaded_texts list in GridText.c functionally "circular", so
+ that returning to a cached document causes it to be treated as the most
+ current, and dumps of cache, when necessary to load a new document, are
+ done for the least recently viewed rather than least recently fetched
+ document. - FM
+* Show the METHOD and ACTION in showinfo() of LYShowInfo.c if invoked when
+ the cursor is positioned on a submit button. - FM
+* If the user mode is advanced, keep showing the URL in the statusline
+ when Lynx is in forms mode but the link is not a form field. - FM
+12-03-95
+* Tweaks of code for submissions of forms with only a single INPUT
+ (TYPE="text") field. - FM
+12-02-95
+* Treat any META directives with a NAME or HTTP-EQUIV value of "Pragma"
+ or "Cache-Control" and a CONTROL value of "no-cache" as an instruction
+ always to resubmit any form(s) in the document. - FM
+* Added parsing of META directives. Functions can be added where indicated
+ in HTML.c. - FM
+* Include the HTTP/1.1 "Cache-Control: no-cache" header together with the
+ HTTP/1.0 "Pragma: no-cache" header for reload or resubmit requests. - FM
+* Fixed bug in the check for an all-space ALT in IMG when creating a
+ link for its SRC. - FM
+* Fixed parsing of square-bracketted DOCTYPE fields. - FM
+12-01-95
+* Improvements of logic for indentations within lists. - FM
+11-30-95
+* For resiliency, treat upper case letters as equivalent to lower case in
+ scheme names (e.g., allow "HTTP" as well as "http"), by converting them
+ to the appropriate case before entering them into the anchor hash table
+ or otherwise acting on them. - FM
+* Added ability to change the default reply to the "really quit" prompt
+ from "[Y]" to "[N]" via a compilation symbol in userdefs.h. - DT
+11-29-95
+* Added ALIGN attribute for HR (default is "center"). - FM
+11-28-95
+* If a form has a single field, and it's INPUT TYPE="text", treat
+ RETURN as a submit command for it. - FM
+* Added START as a synonym for the SEQNUM attribute in OL. - FM
+11-27-95
+* Enhancements of the wais gateway. - FM
+11-26-95
+* Fixed up HREF, ACTION and SRC resolving to be conformant with RFC 1808
+ (except that we don't yet support a ";params" field). - FM
+11-25-95
+* Tweaks of yesterday's jumps file mods. - FM
+11-24-95
+* Enhancements of 'J'umps file handling, including ability to install
+ multiple jumps files mapped to different keys and associated with
+ different statusline prompts and recall buffers. - DT & FM
+* Deal with ALTs that have only spaces when in clickable_image mode. - FM
+* Worked in WM's mods to make the REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM workaround
+ a configuration option via ENABLE_SCROLLBACK in lynx.cfg and a command
+ line toggle (-enable_scrollback), for use with comm programs which have
+ screen display buffers that can be accessed for review independently
+ of the Lynx commands (see comments in lynx.cfg). - FM
+11-23-95
+* Use the BASE, if present, instead of the original document URL, as the
+ default ACTION for forms. - FM
+* Tweaks of paragraph alignment handling. - FM
+* Make sure we don't realloc() a NULL env pointer in LYCgi.c. - DT
+* Cancel bookmark deletion if the line does not have a complete link or if
+ there is more than one link on the line. - DT
+11-21-95
+* Fixed bad logic in the setting of bold and/or underline starting points
+ in new lines created via split_line() of GridText.c. - FM
+* Added case KEY_BACKSPACE in LYgetch() of LYStrings.c. - GL
+11-19-95
+* Fixed problem of SELECT causing all immediately following white space
+ to be ignored. - FM
+* More tweaks of paragraphing, and handling of labeled blocks within
+ PRE blocks. - FM
+11-18-95
+* Added INFOSECS, MESSAGESECS and ALERTSECS symbols in userdefs.h and
+ lynx.cfg for setting the durations of statusline pauses (important when
+ using Lynx with a braille-based access). See comments in userdefs.h and
+ lynx.cfg for more information. - FM
+* More tweaks of paragraph handling. - FM
+* Include the Reference lists is crawl output files if the -number_links
+ switch was included and the -nolist switch wasn't. - FM
+11-17-95
+* Tweaks of finger and telnet gateways. - FM
+* Added handling of MARQUEE equivalently to BANNER. - FM
+* Various tweaks of 8-bit character and related HTML handling (OLs
+ or ULs without attributes or some wrong combinations were crashing
+ Lynx). - FM
+11-16-95
+* Implemented the ID attribute for TAB, and the TO and INDENT attributes
+ when its ALIGN attribute is "left" (the default) and the style's
+ alignment is HT_LEFT (the default). If these conditions don't apply,
+ or if the TAB target is outside the current margins or would overlap
+ prior text, a collapsible space is inserted instead of TABing. The
+ INDENT values are in "en" units, treated as 12 per column. Added
+ tabtest.html in the test subdirectory to illustrate TABing. - FM
+11-15-95
+* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for SPOT, and fully
+ implemented it (use SPOT ID="foo" as SGML_EMPTY instead of named anchors
+ with no content). - FM
+* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for TAB. For now, it
+ simply puts a collapsible space in the text stream if the TO attribute
+ is present. - FM
+* Added the top-level HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for MATH, and
+ implemented it's ID attribute. The markup is captured as HTML_LITTERAL,
+ and until we have a processor, is output as is, in brackets to alert the
+ user about the situation. - FM
+11-14-95
+* Tweaks of LYK_UP_LINK and LYK_DOWN_LINK handling, and added them to the
+ default mapping as '<' and '>'. - FM
+* Tweaks of LYK_TOOLBAR handling. - FM
+11-13-95
+* Added LYK_TOOLBAR (mapped by default to '#') for jumping up to the pseudo
+ Toolbar or Banner if present in the current document. Using '#' instead
+ of Home to jump there allows you to Left-Arrow back to where you were in
+ the current document. Set up a BANNER in about_lynx-dev.html to serve
+ as an example of this feature. - FM
+* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for BANNER, implemented
+ its ID attribute, and set it up to act as a pseudo Toolbar if one hasn't
+ been set up already via REL attributes of LINKs. - FM
+* Tweaks of paragraphing for CAPTION, CREDIT, FOOTNOTE, and NOTE. - FM
+11-12-95
+* Handle (i.e., ignore) any P that immediately follows an LI, DT or DD. - FM
+* Cancel any file fetch and viewer spawn or launch during traverals. - FM
+11-11-95
+* Added finger gateway (finger://host[/request]) based on patches from
+ Martin Hamilton (martin@mrrl.lut.ac.uk). - FM
+* Added LYE_TAB for mapping keys to act as LYE_ENTER, but return '\t' so
+ that the behavior of TAB is emulated in TEXTAREAs, and mapped Do to
+ LYE_TAB in the default binding. - FM
+* Fixed glitch in handling of DEC extended characters which contain two
+ digits (affected Do and Find). - FM
+* Better documented that disabling access to hidden (dot) files also
+ disables ability to create such files via Lynx. - FM
+11-10-95
+* Added handling of mailto as a form ACTION. See http://www.q-d.com/swc.htm
+ for software to extract and unescape the mailed content. - FM
+* Added lynxprog URL handling, which is identical to lynxexec URL handling
+ except that the user is not prompted to enter RETURN before returning
+ to Lynx. Use lynxprog for scripts or programs such as mail which do not
+ need an enforced pause to let the user read the screen output. - FM
+* Removed code in HTFile.c for treating ',' as a synonym of '.' for
+ hidden files (nobody seems to know why that was being done 8-). - FM
+* Moved inclusions from LYBookmark to tcp.h. - FM
+11-08-95
+* Extend optional hidden (dot) file/directory support to Unix, and embellished
+ it on VMS and Unix with regulation via a command line switch and 'o'ptions
+ menu setting. See userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - GL & FM
+* Added support on Unix for straight tar files and a compile time option that
+ disables the ability to extract files from an archive file (since there is
+ no control over the files extracted). - GL
+11-07-95
+* More tweaks of 8-bit character handling. - FM
+* Added "Macintosh (8 bit)" character set. - Neil K. Guy
+ (nkg@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca)
+* Added "Example Lynx Optimized User Home Page" to the online 'h'elp. - FM
+11-05-95
+* Fixed Cc: header handling for email on Unix. - FM
+11-04-95
+* Reference the current character set for any raw 8-bit characters in
+ text/plain streams (but don't translate named or decimal escaped
+ entities, since that's specific for text/html). - FM
+* Block any illegal control or escape characters in text/plain streams,
+ to avoid problems if a binary ftp or local file was mistyped and sent
+ to the screen as that Content-type. - FM
+* Eliminated mod in SGML.c which emulated Netscape's bug of treating '>'
+ as both a close-double-quote and close-tag (Netscape v2.0 fixed its
+ bug, so hopefully the bad HTML with it will go away. 8-). - FM
+11-02-95
+* Assume an ISO-8859-1 character set for all local files. If it's
+ actually ISO-8859-2 and the terminal is using that, set the Lynx
+ CharSet option to "ISO Latin 1" so that 8-bit characters will be
+ sent raw to the terminal. - FM
+* Added Martin Ramsch's iso8859-1.html to the test subdirectory.
+ Use it to complete the conversion tables in LYCharSets.c. - FM
+* Don't block insertion of a lead space for INPUTs in PRE blocks, so
+ alignments will be compatible with those of graphic clients. - FM
+* Don't block all access to the 'p'rint menu for the print restriction
+ (should still offer printer options which have the TRUE flag set;
+ all access is still blocked for -validate). - FM
+* Replaced the STDfoo_FILENO symbols in LYCgi.c with the more portable
+ fileno(stdfoo). - WM
+* Added NCURSESINCDIR compilation symbol for setting the path to the
+ NCURSES header file in LYCurses.h to that of the latest version. - GL
+* Tweaks of interrupt handling on VMS.
+10-31-95
+* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM
+* Mods in LYCgi.c which hopefully makes the code more portable across
+ Unix flavors. - FM
+10-28-95
+* Tweaks of global flag initializations and resets in HTML.c. - FM
+* Added RESOLVLIB symbol in the top Makefile for including -lresolv
+ in the LIBS= list, if needed, for SUN 3 or 4 OS, and comments about
+ that in the Makefile, and INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS files based on an
+ explanation from Will Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com). - FM
+10-27-95
+* Mods of top level Makefile: Added NOPORT compilation symbol for forcing
+ use of PASV in ftp URLs. Added NO_S_IFSOCK compilation symbol for Unix
+ flavors which lack an S_IFSOCK definition for lstat(). - FM
+* Reload the current document whenever the character set is changed. - FM
+* Don't reference entities for raw (or decimal escaped) 8-bit characters
+ if the document is not text/html, or for any local files if the charset
+ is Latin. - FM
+* Made Ctrl-H a synonym for DELETE instead of Left-Arrow in the line
+ editor. - FM
+10-25-95
+* Handle all characters in strings for the new line editor as unsigned
+ so they don't go negative if 8-bit. - DW
+* Restored proper handling of the MAXLENGTH attribute in INPUTs for
+ strings entered with the new line editor. - FM
+10-24-95
+* Deal with all non-printing characters when setting up the SELECT
+ pop-up window strings. - FM
+* Handle raw 8-bit characters via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named
+ entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected
+ character set. - FM
+* Yet more tweaks of non-breaking space handling. - FM
+10-22-95
+* Improved treatment of the startpage URL with -traversal so that it only
+ blocks traversals of links on other servers. Any links on the same
+ http server which shouldn't be traversed may be blocked via explicit
+ and/or wildcarded entries in REJECT.DAT. Updated CRAWL.announce to
+ make this more clear. - FM
+* Typo fixes in top-level Makefile. - Steve Jeske (jeske@pa.dec.com)
+10-21-95
+* Handle decimal escaped entities via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named
+ entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected
+ character set. - FM
+10-20-95
+* Tweaks of formatting for LONG_LIST directory lists and README file
+ inclusions in HTFile.c and HTVMSUtils.c. - FM
+* Tweaks of decimal escaped non-breaking space handling in HTML.c. - FM
+* Force unescaping of hidden VALUEs for INPUTs as ISO-LATIN1. - FM
+* Added ".shtml" and ".htmlx" as text/html extensions in HTInit.c. - FM
+10-18-95
+* Made parsing of the name and address out of the NNTP From: header more
+ reliable in HTNews.c. - FM
+* Added "LYNX_TEMP_SPACE" environment variable (Unix) or VMS logical,
+ which if present at run time will be used instead of the the TEMP_SPACE
+ definition in userdefs.h as the path prefix for temporary files. - FM
+10-17-95
+* Added TYPE attritute for OL, and coordinated it with the SEQNUM and
+ CONTINUE attributes. The default TYPE is "1" (Arabic numbers), and
+ SEQNUM values for it can range from -29997 to the system's maximum
+ integer. The Alphabetic TYPEs are "A" (upper case) and "a" (lower
+ case), and can range from 1 (" A." or " a.") to 18278 ("ZZZ." or
+ "zzz."). The Roman TYPES are "I" (upper case) and "i" (lower case),
+ and can range from 1 (" I." or " i.") to 3000 ("MMM." or "mmm.").
+ SEQNUM values should always be Arabic, and will be converted to
+ other types (e.g., SEQNUM="27" TYPE="a" will yield "aa." for the
+ next LI). The CONTINUE attribute will cause the sequence and TYPE
+ of the preceding OL to be continued for LIs in the current OL. - FM
+10-16-95
+* Treat a value of "*" for "no_proxy" as a global override of any
+ existing proxy variables. - FM
+10-15-95
+* Deal with raw or decimal escaped non-breaking space characters in
+ SGML_character() of SGML.c and LYUnEscapeEntities() of HTML.c. - FM
+10-14-95
+* Updated info about lynx-dev in lynx.man and lynx.hlp. - FM
+* Don't force LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED in dumps if -nolist was included. - FM
+* Output the References list for dumps with OL-style numbering. - FM
+* More tweaks of "anti-spoof" handling for telnet URLs. - FM
+10-13-95
+* Block direct access to the telnet prompt for telnet URLs entered without
+ a host field. - FM
+* Include the TRUSTED flag in spawns for OpenVMS/AXP v6.1 or greater. - FM
+10-12-95
+* Convert any strings in news articles that look like URLs into links. - FM
+* Use the Followup header in news articles, if present, for followups.
+ Otherwise, use the Newsgroups header. - FM
+* Ignore any invalid ISO 646 7-bit control characters or ISO 8859 8-bit
+ control characters in SGML_character() of SGML.c. - FM
+10-11-95
+* Typo fix in HTTCP.c for non-MULTINET VMS builds. - Gary Chow (garyc@mrs.com)
+10-09-95
+* Assume the root as path in HTParse() of HTParse.c if the access and host
+ but no path are given, and the access is http, https, or ftp. - FM
+10-05-95
+* Make sure the FREE(x) macro gets defined for HTTCP.c. - FM
+10-04-95
+* Mods in HTTCP.c to prevent string buffer overruns. - FM
+* Prevent possible string buffer underrun for terminal white space trims
+ in GridText.c. - Renato Buda (renato@peoplebank.co.uk)
+10-01-95
+* Updated the listserv and archive addresses in the about and help files. - FM
+09-30-95
+* Added support for Windows_NT FTP servers. - FM
+* Added ability to send a self copy of mail via a Cc: header on Unix
+ (sending of self copies is set via the mail software itself on VMS). - FM
+* Tweaks of SOCKET_ERRNO handling in HTTCP.C. - FM
+* Include unistd.h more consistently on Unix (via tcp.h) if NO_UNISTD_H
+ is not defined. - FM
+* Modified the FreeBSD and NetBSD libwww Makefiles to use the
+ CommonMakefile. - FM
+* Makefile addition (snake3) for the HP-UX purchased compiler. - Andy
+ Finkenstadt (genie@panix.com)
+09-29-95
+* Deal with HTAlert.c function calls to LYgetstr(), e.g., for a password,
+ when doing a -dump or -source non-interactive fetch. - FM
+* Output HTAlert() messages to both stderr and stdout in TRACE mode. - FM
+09-28-95
+* Added a description of the line editor's default key bindings to the
+ help file set. - FM
+* Tweaks of the line editor. - FM
+* Declare DCLspawn_exception() in LYCurses.c as unsigned int only for
+ DECC (otherwise as int, for VAXC and GNUC). - FM
+09-27-95
+* Added common line editor for forms and prompted queries, with configurable
+ line editor key bindings. See LYStrings.h and LYEditmap.c for the default
+ configuration. - DW & FM
+* Tweaks of build.com's symbol assignments when in batch mode. - MM
+09-22-95
+* Added ISO-8859-2 CharSet, and mods for Accept-Charsets handling based
+ on patches from Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si). - FM
+09-19-95
+* Tweaks of OL attribute handling. Allow negative SEQNUM values. Keep
+ better track of CONTINUE versus non-CONTINUE OL sequences within nests.
+ Allow CONTINUE in the first OL of a new nest, set to the last LI count
+ of the previous nest (at any depth in that previous nest). - FM
+09-17-95
+* Tweak of LYUnEscapeEntities() in HTML.c. - DW & FM
+* Another tweak of groupid handling in LYShowInfo.c. - DW
+* More fixes of 7-bit character approximations. - DW
+* More help and about file tweaks. - DSL
+09-16-95
+* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for DIV, and implemented
+ its ALIGN and ID attributes. I think I have it behaving rationally if it
+ is used together with CENTER, LEFT and/or RIGHT (Though they're all treated
+ as DIVs by Lynx, and shouldn't be embedded in each other, somebody will do
+ that anyway!. 8-). - FM
+* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for FN (Footnote). It
+ should be handled as a popup window, but for now, it's implemented as a
+ labelled block and has the same style and behavior as a NOTE with an ID
+ attribute. - FM
+* Some compilers can't handle the continuation line in yesterday's
+ LYCurses.h. Made it one long line. - FM
+09-16-95
+* Further enhanced the online help and about files. - FM
+* Added -DNO_FILIO_H to Makefile for SCO. - FM
+* Worked in stuff from 14-Sep-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. - FM:
+--------------------------------------------------------
+ 09-06-95
+ * Added patch to compile Lynx on BSDI with Ncurses package. -RK
+ 09-06-95
+ * Ported Lynx to DG-UX. - RK
+--------------------------------------------------------
+09-12-95
+* Further modified HTNews.c so that it returns unmodified news messages
+ when the display is toggled to source ('\') or when downloading them,
+ so uuencoded messages always can be saved without corruption, and so
+ I also changed the SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS compilation default to
+ TRUE. - FM
+* Simplified a compound if() in HTParse.c which may have been giving the
+ AIX v4.1 compiler a headache. - FM
+09-11-95
+* Eliminated distinct style sheets for CAPTION and CREDIT so their content
+ will inherit the current style, and added HTML_EnsureDoubleSpace() and
+ HTML_ResetParagraphAlignment() in HTML.c for coping with the absence of
+ distinct style sheets for those elements, and for FIG.
+09-10-95
+* Added SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, with
+ a compilation default of FALSE, and a -buried_news switch for toggling
+ the default. When TRUE, Lynx scans the bodies of news articles for
+ references and converts them to news links, but creates false news
+ links if any email addresses are enclosed in angle brackets, and can
+ trash uuencoded messages. - FM
+* Eliminated distinct style sheet for FIG so its content will inherit the
+ current style and display appropriately within lists. Should be OK if
+ people use valid HTML 3.0 in it's content for non-graphic clients. - FM
+* Added links for the W3C HTML 2.0 and 3.0 specifications and for the
+ HAL HTML validation service to the Lynx help file set.
+* Made the BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS compilation symbols FALSE by default. Most
+ documents now include emphasis tags for NAME (ID) anchors if it's desired,
+ because the most common graphic clients don't emphasize them by default,
+ so we should adjust to that in Lynx as well (IMHO 8-). Added emphasis
+ tags for the NAME anchors in the Lynx help files. - FM
+* Eliminated forced uppercasing of H1 headers. Most documents have mixed
+ casing and we should preserve it (IMHO 8-). Added a BOLD_H1 configuration
+ symbol, set FALSE by default, for making H1 headers bold even if BOLD_HEADERS
+ is FALSE. Modify the two configuration symbols in lynx.cfg for the pattern
+ or header emphasis which pleases you. - FM
+* Tweak of list paragraphing. Added HText_PeviousLineSize() in GridText.c
+ for determining if the previous line had only non-printing characters. - FM
+09-09-95
+* Implemented true paragraphing and the P ALIGN attribute within lists (UL,
+ OL and DL blocks) and within ADDRESS blocks. Paragraphs within lists have
+ one blank line inserted. Within ADDRESS blocks, a newline will be created
+ if needed, but no blank lines are inserted. Use BR, not P, to force extra
+ newlines within blocks. Do not place a P immediately following the LI or
+ DD tags. Alignments of P blocks are done with respect to the "second line"
+ margins of LI or DD elements. - FM
+09-08-95
+* Convert '~' to getenv("HOME") in file URLs whether or not DIRED_SUPPORT
+ is defined. - FM
+* Tweak of TR and more tweaks of HR handling. Added HText_LastLineSize()
+ and HText_TrueLineSize() functions in GridText.c for determining if
+ lines have only non-printing characters in decisions on whether to
+ insert additional newlines. - FM
+09-07-95
+* Act on Page-Up, Page-Down, Home, End, Find and Select in the form_getstr()
+ editor (hoping they have their default mappings 8-). Also act on Remove
+ and Control-D as delete keys in that line editor (as in the LYgetstr()
+ line editor). - FM
+* Tweak of HR handling. - FM
+* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary printer files. - FM
+* More fixes for NeXT. Temporary files for VIEWER, DOWNLOADER or PRINTER
+ commands on NeXT all have the ".html" default suffix replaced with ones
+ indicative of the Content-type. - FM
+09-06-95
+* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary viewer or downloader
+ files. - FM
+* Fixes for NeXT. - FM
+09-05-95
+* Enabled the -help switch when no configuration file is available and
+ Lynx would otherwise exit (i.e., it now outputs the help message before
+ it exits). - FM
+* Documented the -child switch. - FM
+* Fixed and documented the -nolog switch. - FM
+* Changed the -linknums switch to -number_links, fixed the code to work,
+ and documented the switch. - FM
+* Made handling of escaped colons (\:) in VIEWER commands reliable. - FM
+09-04-95
+* Implemented the PLAIN attribute for UL, and the SEQNUM and CONTINUE
+ attributes for OL. - FM
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for DD, DL, DT, LI, OL and UL
+ to HTML 3.0, added LH, and implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for those,
+ and B, BLINK, BR, CENTER, CITE, CODE, DFN, DIR, EM, FORM, KBD, I, LEFT,
+ LISTING, MENU, PLAINTEXT, PRE, RIGHT, SAMP, STRONG, TT, U, VAR and XMP
+ (some of which are obsoleted in HTML 3.0, but what the heck 8-). - FM
+09-03-95
+* Made bolding of NAME (ID) anchor contents configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM
+09-02-95
+* Tweaks of FIG and OVERLAY handling: Only put up [FIGURE] (and +[OVERLAY])
+ links if clickable_images is set. Assume P ALIGN="left" if contained
+ text does not begin with an explicit tag that sets an alignment. - FM
+* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for IMG. - FM
+* Tweaks for FreeBSD. - Masafumi NAKANE (t94303mn@sfc.keio.ac.jp)
+08-31-95
+* Added support for using a TITLE attribute as the subject in anchors with a
+ mailto HREF (A HREF="mailto:address" TITLE="RE: subject"). - FM
+08-30-95
+* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for A, ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE, BQ,
+ CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, H1 - H6, HR, INPUT, NOTE, OPTION, P, SELECT, TABLE,
+ TD, TEXTAREA, TH and TR. - FM
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for ADDRESS to HTML 3.0. - FM
+* Block insertion of any escape sequence characters or substitutes when
+ editing form INPUTs or TEXTAREAs. - FM
+08-29-95
+* Tweak of ALIGN attribute handling in paragraphs. - FM
+* Protect against hanging on escape sequences if received (illegally) in
+ documents typed as text/plain or text/html. - FM
+08-28-95
+* Declared DCLspawn_exception() as an unsigned int to keep DECC happy. - FM
+08-27-95
+* Give LYUpload() a return value (because LYLocal.c has been testing for
+ one all these years 8-). - FM
+* Force reload on return from 'o'ptions menu if HTfileSortMethod or
+ keypad_mode are changed. - FM
+* Force no cache of keymap display whenever vi_keys or emacs_keys are
+ changed. - FM
+* Added Remove and Control-D as Delete synonyms for removing characters to
+ the left of the cursor in the LYgetstr() line editor, and Control-F as
+ Right-arrow synonym for moving the cursor to the right. - FM
+08-24-95
+* Modified prompted string editing via LYgetstr() along lines in patch
+ from PM (editing of form INPUT and TEXTAREA strings is unchanged).
+ Here's how the prompted string editing works: Left-arrow and Backspace
+ (Control-H) move the cursor to the left, and Right-arrow to the right,
+ within the string. Characters are INSERTed at the cursor position.
+ Delete removes characters to the left of the cursor. Home, Find and
+ Control-A move the cursor to the beginning of the string. End, Select
+ and Control-E move the cursor to the end. Control-U erases the string.
+ Control-G cancels at any time. Return accepts if a string is present,
+ or cancels if it was fully erased or never entered. A right-curley
+ brace appears in the right-most column when the string has segment(s)
+ scrolled off screen, and if left scrolled, the cursor sits on it for
+ further editing with the above command keys (or acceptance via Return).
+ Long strings scroll both left and right between the prompt string and
+ right-curley brace. Had to modify 17 files to make this line editor
+ crash safe (I hope people like it! 8-). - FM
+08-22-95
+* Use a macro in parse_arg() of LYMain.c to ensure proper handling of
+ switches which take a value and might have a space instead of an '='
+ between the name and value. - DW
+* Insulate any system RTL's getline() from the one in HTInit.c. - DW
+* Enabled editing of titles when adding bookmarks. - FM
+08-21-95
+* Fixed the IBM PC character set in LYCharSets.c (Note: The PC-set has the
+ currency symbol but it is a control character - ^O - so there is a chance
+ that curses or the user's terminal may discard it. Did not fix the
+ Icelandic characters). - DW
+* Check whether getpwuid() and getgrid() have returned NULL pointers in
+ LYShowInfo.c. - DW
+* Break up the too elaborate, compound assignment statements in LYList.c
+ so no compilers get tripped up by evaluation order effects. - DW
+* Worked in mods from DW to cope with CR, CRLF or LF all as EOL in HTML.c
+ and GridText.c (not sure if they take into account all of the consequences
+ of Lou's "big cheat" in GridText.c, but they appear to, so far). - FM
+* Explicitly preserve the Lynx bookmark file mode on Unix. - DSL
+08-20-95
+* More documentation and help updates. - FM
+08-19-95
+* Updated INSTALLATION and comments in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM
+* If save to disk was done via the download menu, and a VMS rename() attempt
+ succeeded so we don't spawn a COPY, we no longer can access the file via
+ the download menu, so pop in that situation. - FM
+* Worked in stuff from 16-Aug-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. Most had already been
+ added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM:
+---------------------------------------------------
+ 08-16-95
+ * Applied patch from Peter van Heusden (pch@ucthpx.uct.ac.za) to fix
+ a bug when lynx encounters an OPTION tag before the style is
+ ever updated. - CL
+ 08-09-95
+ * Added some tweaks to Makefile and LYCurses.h to get lynx to properly
+ compile on ISC. Thanks to Robert Salter (salter1@master.nsbf.nasa.gov).
+---------------------------------------------------
+08-18-95
+* Added a -validate switch for turning off everything except http URLs,
+ helpfiles, and secure menus in Lynx. Can be used with -dump in CGI
+ scripts, but is intended for use with anonymous telnet logins. In the
+ latter case, the user can start with his/her server's or userdir homepage,
+ and validate everything, while able to manipulate the display features
+ (e.g., whether or not links are numbered) and turn on trace (Control-T,
+ then Control-R to reload) when a "Bad HTML" document is encountered. The
+ telnet approach is particularly useful when used with the 'l'ist feature.
+ When used with -dump, compare it with versus without -nolist. - FM
+* Added a missing curley brace in EF's (08-16-95) patches. - FM
+08-17-95
+* Added HISTORICAL_COMMENTS symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause
+ Lynx to revert to the "historical" behavior of treating any '>' as a
+ comment terminator instead of (a valid) '-->', and a -historical switch
+ for toggling the default behavior. - FM
+* Added a -nolist switch for turning off the link list feature in dumps. - FM
+* Modified SGML.c so that it still substitutes the expected end tag if a
+ different one is encountered (e.g, due to a document having interdigitated
+ instead of validly embedded tags), but doesn't do a wind down of the
+ element stack. This gives it a better chance of recovering from bad
+ HTML, and the sanity checks I've added thus far in HTML.c appear to still
+ be adequate for avoiding crashes (we'll see 8-). - FM
+08-16-95
+* Mods to support within-document anchors in documents returned via
+ lynxcgi scripts. - FM
+* Worked in EF's patches to handle changes of keymaps under DIRED_SUPPORT
+ with OK_OVERRIDE, and to give the user some feedback during an Install
+ command. - FM
+08-15-95
+* Don't include a Referer header for 'g'oto URLs. - FM
+* Added patches from PR for compilations with VMS port of GNUC: Modified
+ several prototypes to avoid GNUC warnings about conflicts with ones in
+ lib$routines.h, and added code in HTVMS_WaisUI.c to deal with an obscure
+ glitch for GNUC v2.6.[123] and v2.7.0 (not present in v2.6.0 or earlier,
+ and fixed in v2.7.1). - FM
+* Worked in code from PR as LYVMS_FixedLengthRecords() in HTFWriter.c to
+ change attributes of binary files on VMS from Stream_LF to FIXED 512,
+ no implied carriage control, best try contiguous. Replaces the spawn
+ to execute FIXED512.COM. - FM
+08-14-95
+* Modified TEXTAREA handling to succeed or fail on bad HTML equivalently
+ to Netscape. - FM
+08-12-95
+* Mods to avoid crashes and to do something reasonable with OPTION strings
+ that are wider than the available popup window width. Truncation is
+ indicated by omission of a terminating ']' in the window link, and the
+ window, when popped up, is made equal to the screen width (but we can't
+ wrap the strings within the window, so they're truncated if they still
+ don't fit). - FM
+* Mods to handle INPUT fields that are packaged in PRE and would extend past
+ the wrap column. No way to make that perfect without a major redesign,
+ but it's better now. - FM
+08-10-95
+* Handle 'g'oto entries equivalently to STARTFILE and HOMEPAGE, i.e., if
+ the user's entry isn't a URL, convert it to a file URL if it's a file
+ or directory on the local system, otherwise convert it to an http URL.
+ For example, "~/" will be converted to a file URL for listing the HOME
+ directory (on both Unix and VMS), and "www.netscape.com" will become
+ "http://www.netscape.com". - FM
+* Fix LYCurses.h to deal with definitions of TRUE and FALSE in cursesX.h
+ on ultrix. - Brian Exelbierd (bex@ncsu.edu)
+* Made SYSTEM_MAIL, and MAIL_ADRS on VMS, configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM
+08-08-95
+* Fixed two initialization problems that could account for reports of
+ inappropriate HEAD requests in pops of cached documents. - FM
+* More tweaks for coping with bad HTML. - FM
+* Fixed bug in code for bypassing bad SUFFIX: or VIEWER: entries. - FM
+08-06-95
+* Added code in GridText.c to deal with syntactically OK but symantically
+ nonsensical uses of ALT="" in IMG tags (i.e., when the IMG is structured
+ to provide the anchor for a link, and so the anchor ends up with nothing
+ but nonprinting characters for bolding), and removed the forcing of an
+ "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT in HTML.c. The show_anchor element in TextAnchor
+ structures is now set to NO whenever an anchor does not have any
+ printing characters. - FM
+* Modified HTML.c to issue only one "Bad HTML" statusline message per
+ document (unless it's one of those unbelievably bad CGI script outputs
+ that are functionally multiple, concatenated documents 8-), and similarly
+ for "Table in Form" and "Form in Table" informational messages. - FM
+* Don't bother prompting whether to send a HEAD request for the current
+ document if there are no links on the page (but still prompt if the user
+ makes a HEAD request when positioned on an inappropriate form link). - FM
+08-05-95
+* Added code in SGML.c for storing Identifiers (e.g., !DOCTYPE) and Comments
+ (i.e., tags beginning with !--) and for reporting them in trace mode.
+ Serves as a model for actually using them someday (i.e, functions for
+ analyzing them could be called where we presently just invoke a trace
+ output to stderr). - FM
+08-03-95
+* Modified SGML.c to handle comments as in the current specs, and put
+ Paul Gilmartin's (pg@sweng.stortek.com) TestComment.html in the
+ test subdirectory. - FM
+* Added binary extensions in HTInit.c that were giving people problems
+ on FTP servers. - FM
+08-02-95
+* Added explicit check for CMU in telnet support with SOCKETSHR-built
+ images. - SB
+* Added -link switch for setting the count in lnk#.dat files with -crawl
+ (needed if you interrupt a traversal and want to pick up again where
+ you left off). - DM
+* More tweaks of -traversal code and Makefile. All known bugs appear to
+ have been dealt with at this point. Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and
+ help files to include the -traversal and -crawl switches. - FM
+08-01-95
+* Changed the SEQUENT compilation sympbol to PTX2 and added a ptx2 procedure
+ to the Makefile for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx v2, because more current
+ versions reportedly have solved the problems which the conditional
+ compilation attempted to address. - FM
+* Force in the "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT if someone uses ALT="" for an IMG tag
+ that has ISMAP specified. - FM
+* Tweaks of the -traversal code (still experimental). - DM & FM
+07-31-95
+* Worked in code from David Mathog (mathog@seqaxp.bio.caltech.edu) for
+ implementing the TRAVERSAL function from old versions of Lynx, but via
+ a command line switch (-traversal) instead of in a separately compiled
+ executable, and for a CRAWL function, invoked via a command line switch
+ (-crawl), which allows Lynx to be used as the front end for a Web Crawler.
+ See CRAWL.announce for more information. - FM
+* More tweaks of LYCurses.c and LYCgi.c for GNUC on VMS. - SB
+* More tweaks of src/Makefile. - DSL
+07-30-95
+* Tweaks of yesterday's Makefile and descrip.mms files. - FM
+07-29-95
+* Tweak in HTFTP.c to ensure that Lynx doesn't sit around waiting for an
+ FTP server's good-bye message if the server closes the connection itself
+ and doesn't send one. - FM
+* Added GNUC support to the VMS descrip.mms files. - FM
+* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c socket handling on VMS (I can't reproduce a reported
+ problem with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB, but these tweaks might help). - FM
+* Added my guesses at code for HTTelnet.c to implement telnet, tn3270 and
+ rlogin support, if available, when building with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB on
+ VMS. - FM
+07-28-95
+* Mods for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx - Mark Kolmar (mkolmar@ccs.nslsilus.org)
+* Added GL's lynxcgi patches posted to lynx-dev, plus some tweaks. - FM
+* Worked in GL's lynxcgi mods as in Lynx2-4-2:
+ --------------------------------------------
+ Added George Lindholm's LYNXCGI feature. This allows lynx to bypass
+ http daemons to run local CGI scripts using a URL of the form
+ "lynxcgi:/path/cgi-script". To implement in Lynx, LYNXCGI_LINKS
+ must be uncommented in userdefs.h and TRUSTED_LYNXCGI must be fixed
+ in lynx.cfg. It doesn't handle redirection or mime-types and
+ scripts should probably generate partial URLs when referring back to
+ itself. If the file you're going after isn't an executable then it
+ will be loaded as regular file. This makes it possible to go back
+ and forth between cgi-scripts and .html files.
+ I changed the way TRUSTED_LYNXCGIs are recorded because they don't
+ work quite the same as TRUSTED_EXECs do. Also, George says it works
+ fine on SunOS and Solaris, and it seems to work fine on Linux. - CL
+ --------------------------------------------
+* Don't block access to the download menu when both no_download and
+ no_disk_save are set if any of the download commands have always_enabled
+ set (ie. present a reduced menu, with those still available). - FM
+* More tweaks of help and html files. - DSL
+07-26-95
+* Added support for GNUC in the VMS .com files. Should now compile and link
+ automatically for GNUC via build.com, but that needs testing. - FM
+* Reorganized VMS option files into ones for the transport and ones for the
+ compiler, with corresponding updates of the .com and .mms files. - FM
+* Tweaks of mods for GNUC on VMS, based on further discussions with
+ SB. - FM
+* Tweaks of -help output. - Daniel S. Lewart (d-lewart@uiuc.edu)
+07-25-95
+* Ugh!! Blew it for Unix when setting up the GLOBALDEF/GLOBALREF definitions
+ in tcp.h for VAXC vs. DECC vs. GNUC on VMS this morning (I'm a night
+ person 8-). - FM
+* Worked in code for compiling with the VMS port of GNUC, based on patches
+ from Sterling Bjorndahl (bjorndahl@augustana.ab.ca) and advice from
+ Pat Rankin (rankin@eql.caltech.edu). Needs testing, and the linking
+ procedure still needs to be addressed explicitly. - FM
+* Prevent possibility of a null pointer dereference if an ISMAP anchor
+ fetch fails. - David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca)
+07-21-95
+* Added LYK_HEAD (mapped by default to ']') to send HEAD requests for the
+ current document or link (always sent with LYforce_no_cache). - FM
+* More lynx.man, lynx.hlp, help file and documentation updates. - FM
+07-19-95
+* Put back "-mime_headers" with mods like those in lynx2-4-2, i.e., so that
+ a source dump is forced. Both "-mine_headers" and "-head" show the status
+ line as well as the MIME headers. - FM
+* Modified "-error_file" to show the complete status line, as well as the
+ URL and METHOD, and to concatenate entries instead of creating separate
+ files for each request. - FM
+* Updated the lynx.man, lynx.hlp and lynx_help files. - FM
+07-18-95
+* Changed "-mime_headers" to "-head" and implemented it as a HEAD request
+ for fetching the MIME headers as text/plain. - FM
+07-17-95
+* Removed 00DIFFERENT from this distribution. - FM
+* Made use of _underline_ format in dumps optional via SUBSTITUTE_UNDERSCORES
+ definitions in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and added a "-underscore"
+ command line switch for toggling the default on or off. - FM
+* Use system("exec $SHELL") for spawning the default shell on Unix. - Paul
+ Gilmartin (pg@sweng.stortek.com)
+* Fixed typo in check for news vs. nntp URLs in HTNews.c. - Wilson Cheung
+ (wcheung@netcom.com)
+* Added code to the VMS setup() for dealing with curses conflicts if someone
+ used -post_data or -get_data without specifying -dump under conditions
+ which require it, so it's not forced in LYMain.c as on Unix. If fact,
+ -get_data and -post_data are very useful in interactive invocations. - FM
+* Fixed memory leak in the -post_data and -get_data handling. - FM
+* Added LYNX_HOST_NAME in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for defining an alias
+ which will be treated equivalently to "localhost" and HTHostName (the
+ fully qualified domain name of the system running Lynx) in checks for
+ URLs on the local host (e.g., when the -localhost switch is set). - FM
+* Added in or improved descriptions for the new switches in the Lynx
+ command line help and Lynx_users_guide.html. - FM
+07-16-95
+* Tweaks of yesterday's startfile and -homepage mods, and added treatment
+ of '~' as SYS$LOGIN when used as the lead character on VMS (e.g., on
+ VMS as on Unix, lynx ~/ will create a listing of the login directory
+ for the account running lynx). - FM
+* Worked in stuff from 13-Jul-95 lynx2-4-1 upgrade. Most had already been
+ added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM:
+---------------------------------------------------
+ 07-13-95
+* Added some command line patches from Peter Brooks - CL:
+ (pbrooks@micromind.com). The new command lines are:
+ -post_data, -get_data = send form data from stdin and dumps results.
+ -auth=ID:PASSWD = sets authorization stuff at startup.
+ -mime_header = prints mime header with -source.
+ -noredir = prevents automatic redirection
+ -error_file=file = prints HTTP status code to file. (Not sure of
+ his motivation on this one, something to do with SlipKnot,
+ I think.)
+ (Replaced Peter's strdup()'s with more portable code. - FM)
+ 07-11-95
+* Added Erik Olson's (olson@phys.washngton.edu) patch to use the
+ _underline_ format when using the -dump option. - CL
+ (Kept the old code, #ifdef'ed out, to make this optional someday. - FM)
+ 07-07-95
+* Fixed a bug in local_dired. Specifically, a pointer to a fixed array
+ was being fed into StrAllocCopy as the destination. Linux was choking
+ on this although OSF/1 and AIX seemed to handle it better. - CL
+---------------------------------------------------
+07-15-95
+* If a command line "startfile" and/or -homepage is not a URL, and can't
+ be located as a file or directory on the local system, treat it as an
+ http URL, e.g., www.wfeb.edu will be treated as http://www.wfeb.edu - FM
+07-13-95
+* Added nntp URL handling (nntp://news_host[:port]/path). Made it read
+ access only (use news URLs for both read and post access). - FM
+07-12-95
+* Added code for proxying https and snews URLs. The Netsite proxy server
+ can proxy them without need for SSL code in the clients themselves, i.e.,
+ for Lynx as publicly distributed (need client-resident SSL code and
+ tunneling for the CERN proxy server, sorry). - FM
+* Added the CONNECT protocol to our local code, so that SSL URLs can be
+ tunneled through proxy servers, and reorganized some code so that patches
+ for the SSL hooks can be applied easily if NSA regulations are relaxed. - FM
+07-11-95
+* More tweaks of alignment code. - FM
+* Fixed bad code for removing trailing white space in GridText.c, LYrcFile.c,
+ LYReadCFG.c and LYUtils.c. - FM
+* Added snews and nttp protocols, which simply inform the user that they
+ aren't implemented. - FM
+* The claim is that even mere hooks to the RSA and SSL libraries are
+ objectionable to the NSA, so I removed then from the public distribution,
+ but left in the https protocol, which simply informs the user that it
+ isn't implemented. - FM
+07-08-95
+* Worked in Lou Montulli's (montulli@netscape.com) code for https URL
+ handling into the Common Library. To actually use it, you have to
+ get the RSA and SSL libraries, which are restricted to US citizens
+ (it works if you are and do 8-). I can't include those in this
+ distribution, because by US law that would in turn restrict it to
+ US citizens. - FM
+* Tweaks of paragraph alignment code. - FM
+07-07-95
+* If we are not allowed to change the status of the "lynxexec
+ execution of links" from the option screen then we shouldn't be
+ allowed to change it from the .lynxrc file either. - GL
+* Added George Lindholm's patch to add uudecode support to Lynx's file
+ manager. Unfortunately, uudecode puts the uudecoded file in the
+ current working directory, namely the directory where lynx is started.
+ I haven't thought of a workaround yet, so I made lynx print a
+ statusline message informing the user. - CL
+07-06-95
+* Modified redirection-handling code in HTTP.c to ensure that we get all of
+ the headers before trying to track down the Location: header. - FM
+* For move's or rename's in the local DIRED code, don't write the new file
+ name into the same buffer as the old. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca)
+07-05-95
+* Added GL's mods to use a stream-based procedure for displaying the
+ current Lynx keymap. Faster and more efficient than the temporary
+ file-based procedure. - FM
+07-04-95 (Enjoy the fireworks!!! 8-)
+* More mods of SGML/HTML parsing to help recover from bad HTML. - FM
+* Fixed some cryptic initialization problems in the Common Library's
+ centering and right alignment code, that we're now using, by changing
+ the malloc's in HTChunk.c to calloc's. - FM
+* Secured some unsafe code in the LYstrncpy() function. - FM
+* Increased the connect() and select() while()-looping limit in HTTCP.c
+ to 30,000 tries. - FM
+* Tweak of HR WIDTH attribute handling. - FM
+07-03-95
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for HR to HTML 3.0, plus
+ its Netscape WIDTH and SIZE attributes, and implemented WIDTH, e.g.,
+ HR WIDTH="50%" yields a centered horizontal rule half the width
+ between the current left and right margins. - FM
+* Fixed problem of header end tags not yielding line breaks when embedded
+ in CENTER, LEFT or RIGHT tags. - FM
+07-02-95
+* Added MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg which can
+ be defined FALSE to treat inlines without an ALT string as having ALT=""
+ instead of inserting the pseudo-ALT string "[INLINE]" into the document.
+ The configuration file default can be toggled via a -pseudo_inlines
+ command line switch, and the user can toggle the inclusion of pseudo-ALT
+ strings on or off at run time via LYK_INLINE_TOGGLE (mapped by default
+ to '['). - FM
+* Made the -image_links command line switch a toggle for the configuration
+ file default setting. - FM
+* Enabled processing of forms that use TABLE for formatting. I don't see any
+ risk of crashes, and they might end up usable. Messages warn the user that
+ the display of the form may be strange. - FM
+* Relaxed anti-crash protections for forms with bad HTML (usually due
+ to interdigitated instead of embedded tags, written by providers with
+ Netscape or Mosaic clients, which are insensitive to such fundamentally
+ bad HTML). I got the code to still work with several bad forms on the
+ Net, and if a crash should occur, the user has been tipped off via the
+ statusline or trace message about the nature of the problem. - FM
+07-01-95
+* Restored the meaning of the P element to be the beginning of a paragraph,
+ updated its structures and definitions in the DTD to HTML 3.0, and
+ implemented its ALIGN attribute (left, center, right). Note that it
+ no longer forces double spacing (you'll get the spacing defined in
+ the stylesheet for the current element, which may or may not be
+ double) and empty paragraphs (serial Ps) will not yield additional
+ newlines (use serial BRs for that). - FM
+* If both download options and disk saves are restricted, don't fetch
+ binary files with a download offer when their links are activated
+ (just issue a statusline message that the file can't be displayed),
+ and issue a "disabled" statusline message for any overt 'd'ownload
+ attempts. - FM
+* For disk saves in LYDownload.c, on VMS attempt a rename() first, and then
+ a spawned DCL copy if that fails. - FM
+* Added memory exhaustion checks for all mallocs, reallocs and callocs in
+ the LYfoo modules. - FM
+* Added CL's realloc() substitute for AIX and ultrix in GridText.c. - FM
+* Map extensions .html3 and .ht3 to text/html in HTInit.c. - FM
+06-29-95
+* Added code to enable creation of links for all images. Can be made the
+ default by setting MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or
+ lynx.cfg (not advised). Can be implemented for the session via a command
+ line switch, -image_links, e.g., use lynx -dump -image_links to get links
+ for all images, as well as standard links, listed in the output. Can be
+ toggled on and off at run time via LYK_IMAGE_TOGGLE (mapped by default to
+ '*'). Use that in conjunction with the LYK_LIST command to get a list of
+ links that includes all images, e.g., for adding them as bookmarks. The
+ toggle also invokes a reload, so that the change will be implemented for
+ the current and any future documents, but if you return to cached
+ documents, those will need to be reloaded explicitly. See comments in
+ userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM
+* Don't restrict use of Control-T for toggling trace mode to advanced
+ usermode (i.e., make it available in all usermodes, so people might
+ follow the instructions in "BAD HTML" statusline messages to check
+ the document in trace mode). - FM
+* Modified LYList.c to indicate the anchor NAME/ID, if present, following
+ the TITLE, if known, in interactive 'l'ists.
+* Modified SGML.c to treat '>' as both a close-double-quote and close-tag.
+ Now Lynx acts like Netscape, in that respect, so all that bad HTML
+ Netscape users are generating will not bother Lynx. - FM
+06-28-95
+* Oops, missed an initialization in this morning's centering and right
+ alignment mods. - FM
+* Fixed up HTML.c to bypass HTML 3.0 attribute checks for start tags generated
+ by the Common Library's non-http access types (gopher, ftp, news, wais)
+ Could crash, otherwise. - FM
+* Fixed up GridText.c code to take non-printing control characters properly
+ into account when formatting centered or right-aligned text. - FM
+* Mods to improve appropriate carryover or cancelling of alignment attributes
+ across successive elements. - FM
+* Implemented Netscape LEFT and RIGHT extensions, homologously to CENTER. - FM
+* Implemented Netscape BLINK extension as HT_UNDERLINE. - FM
+06-26-95
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for H1 - H6 to HTML 3.0 and
+ implemented their ALIGN attribute (left, right and center). - FM
+* Implemented the Netscape CENTER extension. - FM
+06-25-95
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA,
+ SELECT and OPTION to HTML 3.0. - FM
+* Implemented the HTML 3.0 DISABLED attribute for FORM elements. - FM
+* INPUT type "scribble" implemented as "text" according to the HTML 3.0
+ recommendation for non-GUI clients. - FM
+* Added protections against problems with INPUT types "range" and "file"
+ until they're implemented (will be tricky, but do-able 8-). - FM
+06-23-95
+* Added all ISO8859-1 entities to the DTD. - FM
+06-22-95
+* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for A and IMG to HTML 3.0, and
+ implemented their ID attribute. - FM
+* Tweaks of FIG handling. - FM
+* It is somehow inappropriate to teach our users to write correct HTML and
+ to tell them to always check it before publishing, when Lynx's on-line
+ help gives such a bad example :-} (not to mention versions from a couple
+ of months back). Better now. - Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si)
+06-20-95
+* Made the DTD structures and definitions for the HTML 3.0 elements
+ BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY complete, and added
+ those for STYLE, TABLE, TD, TH and TR.
+* Tweaks of yesterday's HTML 3.0 additions (still just "first pass"). - FM
+* Added code for avoiding potential problems with stylesheets and tables
+ in HTML 3.0 documents. - FM
+06-19-95
+* Added "first pass" handling of HTML 3.0 elements BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT,
+ FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY. - FM
+06-17-95
+* Close the configuration file on completion of the big while() in
+ LYReadCFG.c. - PM
+* Added 00DIFFERENT to keep track of files in this code set which
+ presently differ from those in the latest development code set
+ at UKans (currently, lynx2-4-1.zip of 15-Jun-95). - FM
+* Tweak of the pseudo-toolbar code. The 'l'ist command now displays the
+ TITLE (or RelValue, if TITLE is defaulted) of those links if they have
+ never been accessed, or their actual HTML titles if accessed, at the
+ top of the links list, so you can use that command instead of LYK_HOME
+ to reach the toolbar links at any time, and then left-arrow to where
+ you were in the current document instead of having to page back down
+ to that location. - FM
+06-16-95
+* Added LINK REL="RelValue" HREF="foo" TITLE="TitleValue" HTML 3.0
+ handling (as in http://www.hpl.hp.co.uk/people/dsr/html3/dochead.html
+ of 28-Mar-95). The HREF and REL values are required (the LINK will be
+ ignored if either is missing or has a zero-length value). TITLE is
+ optional, i.e., the RelValue will be used as the link name if TITLE
+ is omitted. Currently registered toolbar RelValues are: Home, ToC,
+ Index, Glossary, Copyright, Up, Next, Previous, Help, and Bookmark.
+ The Bookmark links are intended to have TITLEs (e.g., "Order Form").
+ The others have RelValues that yield self-evident link names. The LINKs
+ should be placed in the HEAD section, so they'll be displayed in a manner
+ simulating a toolbar (but not a real one, since we don't have Windows and
+ mouse support; use your LYK_HOME command to access it at any time 8-).
+ The BODY should have a line-breaking element (e.g, H1) to set them off.
+ For now, the Banner RelValue is treated like another toolbar element.
+ The StyleSheet RelValue is ignored, since we don't yet have loadable
+ stylesheet handling. - FM
+* Fixed up the 06-13-95 NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL patch to be appropriate for
+ VMS - FM.
+06-14-95
+* Added LYK_LIST command ('l' or 'L'; must be uppercase if VI keys are on)
+ for creating an ACTIVATEable list of references (links) in the current
+ document. If LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, it's a UL, otherwise it's an
+ OL. Visited links have the TITLE displayed, otherwise the HREF is
+ displayed. - FM
+* Added code to append a list of references (links), if present in the
+ document, when -dump is used. Dumps are done with LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED
+ turned on. The reference list is numbered, and always shows the HREFs,
+ so that they can be referenced to the links in the document. - FM
+* Updated help files. - FM
+--- lynx2-4-1 on ftp2.cc.ukans.edu (added to lynx2-4-FM on 06-16-95)
+06-13-95
+* Added George Lindholm's patch to add -r (recurse) to the zip call in DIRED.
+ - JP
+06-12-95
+* Added George Lindholm's new file permission patch. Here's his description:
+ "Here is a rewamped version of my earlier file permission patch. This version
+ uses a html page to prompt for user input (rather than having the user
+ enter a obscure unix chmod string) using checkboxes." - JP
+* Added George Lindholm's addition of a compiler flag (NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL).
+ If NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL is set the user will not be able to add their own
+ from header. This will only work if the mail package being used will
+ add this information. - JP
+--- lynx2-4-1 on ftp2.cc.ukans.edu
+06-09-95
+* Replaced info.cern.ch with www.w3.org in html and make files. Designated
+ this code as 2.4-FM, for local use. - FM
+--- STARTING 2.4-FM ---
+--- Rename of Lynx2-3-FM and release as Lynx2-4 (08-June-1995) ---
+ (see CHANGES2-4 and CHANGES2-3)
