+ twice rather also to HTML_H5 (report by hsv@tbbs.net) -TD
+* improve change for UCSetBoxChars() from 2.8.6dev.16 for
+ EXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH which assumed that the line-drawing character set

+* ensure that the configured values for GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP and GLOBAL_MAILCAP
+ are absolute pathnames -TD
+* modify logic for reading PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP and PERSONAL_MAILCAP to

+ a problem with wrapping of multibyte character links -TD
+* repair fix for Debian #171312 by ensuring that it is only invoked if the

+* correct a mistyped parameter to CreateThread() (report by DK) -TD

+ (prompted by request by Jason Spiro) -TD
+* add COLOR_STYLE setting to lynx.cfg -TD
+* change default initialization of color-style code when no lss file is given
+ to simulate the non-color-style code. There are some visual differences,
+ e.g., links that contain a mixture of styles will display with mixed colors,
+ but overall the visual effect matches the non-color-style code well enough
+ to change the default configuration.
+ If an empty string is given for the lss filename, this is treated as an
+ empty style file, and lynx will not use its built-in default color style.
+ To make the behavior easier to diagnose, lynx will now exit with an error
+ if it cannot find the lss file. cf: 2000-07-16 (2.8.4dev.5) -TD

+ + correct "//TRANSLIT" position in iconv_open() parameter.
+* remove redundant size-check in change for HText_trimHightext() in 2.8.5dev.8
+ to fix highlighting for this case:

+ (report by Andrew Belov) -TD
+* add U+213B FAX to def7_uni.tbl (Debian #344275) -TD

+* modify configure script checks for gettext to supply include- and lib-paths,
+ e.g., to work on partly broken platforms such as FreeBSD -TD
+* modify parsing of filename from Content-Disposition so that the name is not

+ retained. For VMS and MSDOS, the blanks are translated to underscores
+ (Debian #291716) -TD
+* add a range-check for references to the style cache -Andrew Belov
+* modify fmt_tempname() to avoid the possibility of long random sequences that
+ do not yield an unused filename (report by FLWM) -TD
+* modify install rules for lynx.cfg to allow for pathnames on OS/2 EMX that
+ begin with a drive letter rather than a slash -TD
+* move scripts that are not part of the configure script into scripts
+ subdirectory: cfg_defs.sh, cfg_edit, fixtext.sh -TD
+* improve workaround for line-drawing characters with font-switching by

+ and test/isoi-8859-2.html, corresponding to the proper MIME names to
+ simplify test-scripts -TD
+* update Linux console font support to use console-tools package (tested on
+ Debian). The configure script checks for consolechars and setfont programs
+ (must find at least one). The corresponding SETFONT_PATH can be set in
+ lynx.cfg to provide a choice between the two -TD
+* strip special characters such as '%' from parameters passed to external
+ programs for EXTERNAL mechanism on Windows platform. This is ifdef'd
+ with WIN_EX (Hataguchi Takeshi).

+ (Alexey Dobriyan).
+* add a null pointer check in HTML_TAB case of HTML_start_element() to handle
+ this fragment:
+ <TAB INDENT=1 TO>
+ (Alexey Dobriyan).
+* remove pointer to

+ since it no longer has useful information about SSL for Lynx (Crouton).
+* add description of configure --with-build-cc, etc., to INSTALLATION -TD
+* modify Switch_Display_Charset() so the font-switching feature can be turned

+
+2005-10-30 (2.8.6dev.15)
+* update URL for VMS server information in LYCgi.c -TD
+* modify LYLoadCGI() to prompt user, displaying the command that would be
+ executed, to confirm that it should be. This makes it easier to notice when

+ options lists, which has to be treated differently. The cause for this
+ is the fix made to HText_appendCharacter() in dev.12 -TD
+* extend experimental option --enable-japanese-utf8, allowing lynx to convert
+ EUC-JP and Shift_JIS strings to UTF-8 -TH
+* modify CF_BUILD_CC to avoid clobbering environment variable $BUILD_CC

+* fix an off-by-one error in comparison in HText_appendCharacter(), from dev.12
+ changes which showed up as wrapped lines in the options menu -TD
+* use h_addr_list[0] rather than h_addr in HTTCP.c for POSIX compatibility
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta)
+* remove references to LIBCMU in HTTCP.c, since it is long obsolete -TD
+* force a newline in HTML_end_element() after a </pre>, which causes lines

+ than putting that whitespace before text that follows the </pre> (report by
+ Thorsten Glaser for http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/changes.html) -TD
+* improve fix for LYstartPopup() in dev.6 by keeping the menu width as-is and
+ adjusting its position rather than simply using the full screen-width when

+* correct logic in lynx_default_colors() so the color-style configuration does
+ not attempt to use default colors on a terminal which does not support it
+ (report by Bryan Henderson) -TD
+* add/improve limit checks in HTLex.c -Ulf Harnhammar, TD

+ changes (report by Frederic Briere, Debian #318034) -TD
+* fix: when first "option" element of "select" had "disabled" attribute, Lynx
+ turned the entire "option/choice list" UNMODIFIABLE. The "disabled"
+ attribute of later "option" elements within the same "select" did not have
+ this effect. If the "disabled" attribute is honored, it should disable only
+ that element, not parent element or sibling elements (report by Paavo
+ Hartikainen) -TD

+* make -nomargins option apply to Options menu layout -TD
+* changes to LYwaddnstr() in dev.12 exposed a case from dev.6 where the title

+2005-06-02 (2.8.6dev.12)
+* add rw.po, vi.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
+* modify ".lss" files to work equally well on terminals setup with white text
+ on black background, or the reverse. This also required fixing a few places
+ in LYsubwindow() and curses_w_style() to make window backgrounds use the
+ colors given in the ".lss" default- and normal-colors lines -TD
+* make ".lss" example files somewhat readable by modifying parser to remove
+ blanks from the color description lines and modifying the example files to
+ use this feature -TD
+* modify scripts/cfg2html.pl to use strict variable checking, Getopt::Std
+ to eliminate a uninitialized variable warning -TD
+* modified fix for slang 2.0 which makes it clearer that the last parameter
+ of SLexpand_escaped_string is for UTF-8 -JED
+* when SOURCE_CACHE_MEMORY is used, avoid repeated realloc's of the same
+ memory chunk (really annoying for a long document) -LP
+* HTChunk extended to a linked list of chunks, additional put methods added.
+ Useful for pool infrastructure -LP
+* add ".h" to .SUFFIXES rule in src/chrtrans/makefile.in to work around change
+ made in NetBSD "make" late in 2003, incorporated into the 2.0 release.
+ The CVS change notes:
+ Trim .SUFFIXES to only contain those used in this file.
+ (reported by SC, comments by Klaus Klein and Martin Husemann) -TD
+* modify LYhighlight() to allow for the case where a form link extends for
+ several lines. It was not providing enough padding to fill in the "_"
+ characters past the first line of the link -TD
+* modify LYwaddnstr() to account for the case where LYhighlight calls it to
+ display a link which extends beyond the current line, i.e., it should be
+ wrapped. When lynx is built to use curses-pads, the highlighting was instead
+ truncated since it was computed according to the pad's limits. Fixing this
+ exposes some related problems with off-by-one's in GridText.c -TD
+* correct parsing of "key 0xNN" lines in command-scripts, had omitted a "!"
+ to invert a check (report by Silvio Moioli) -TD
+* correct off-by-one in expression for LYHideCursor(), since dev.6 changes
+ modified the LYcolLimit variable, changing it from the last usable column
+ value to the number of columns (report by DK) -TD
+* correct expression in HText_appendCharacter() which was simplified in
+ 2.8.5dev.4, but broke a comparison used for text-justification -TD
+* adjust wide-character offset computation in HText_trimHightext() to account
+ for soft newlines, i.e., the cell reserved to show continuation lines -TD
+* modify source-view toggle to keep the current anchor visible. Toggling
+ source view may change the line number on which the anchor is found,
+ requiring some adjustment. This feature is implemented only for source
+ cached pages -TD
+* remove obsolete ifdef in LYwaddnstr() for ncurses 5.1's experimental UTF-8
+ support -TD
+* modify HTConfirmCookie() and statusline() to allow cookie prompt message in
+ Japanese to not be truncated when using wide-curses -TD
+* modify logic for locale_charset configuration variable so it is not modified
+ simply by saving the .lynxrc while in running in a non-locale configuration.
+ That does not alter the display charset used by lynx -TD
+* correct calculation of extra space available for justification in
+ split_line() for the wide-curses configuration. Changes from dev.6
+ made this count formatting control characters twice, resulting in some
+ lines too long when justification was enabled -TD
+* improve description of command-line option syntax in the manpage, including
+ noting how to find the default values for most options (Debian #292393) -TD
+* modify is_true/is_false macros for processing command-line options to accept
+ "true" and "false" strings for consistency with the lynx.cfg parser, and to
+ ignore case of the boolean option values -TD
+* add -notitle option to suppress title line and following blank line to

+ http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/
+ http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801
+ which states that they may be used, though application/xhtml+xml is the
+ preferred media type (Debian #184482) -TD
+* remove an extra free() introduced in fixes from dev.10 for leak-checking
+ (reports by Thorsten Glaser, FLWM) -TD
+
+2005-01-02 (2.8.6dev.10)

+* modify configure script to check for Intel compiler 8.0 -TD
+* modify ifdef's for USE_DEFAULT_COLORS, disabling it if the

+* remove leading/trailing blanks from suggested title string for ADD_BOOKMARK
+ (request by Walter Ian Kaye) -TD
+* add tags rules to makefile.in's -TD
+* repair fix for Debian #171312 by ensuring that it is only invoked if a URL
+ fragment was found in the getfile() call (report by PG) -TD
+* correct leak-checking for result of LYAddHilite(), which was not freeing
+ the associated strings -TD
+* correct leak-checking for result of LYcommandList(), which was not freeing
+ the associated strings -TD
+* correct pointer initialization in LYCheckForProxyURL() broken by fix for

+
+2004-12-30 (2.8.6dev.9)
+* remove fixed limit on history[] array (report by Richard Eyre) -TD
+* improve logic for highlighting links which extend to multiple lines by
+ ensuring that if they cover a blank line that the following lines of the
+ link will be highlighted rather than the blank line (report by Hataguchi
+ Takeshi) -TD
+* replace most instances of exit() by exit_immediately(), except those needed
+ for the leak-checking code, to add an ifdef'd call to _nc_freeall() which
+ simplifies testing with valgrind -TD
+* fix definition of put_clip(), to compile in Windows environment (Hataguchi
+ Takeshi).
+* update da.po, et.po, hu.po, nl.po, sv.po, tr.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
+* fix for mouse versus network I/O -GV
+ Building the djgpp version with S-Lang and mouse-support causes network I/O
+ to stop when Lynx is idle waiting for key/mouse events. This patch adds a
+ djgpp_idle_loop() function that does what getxkey() used to do; calls
+ tcp_tick() to finish off closed sockets and reply to pings etc. Tested with
+ PD-curses 2.6 too, but I couldn't get mouse to work under DOS. Not sure
+ that's possible at all.
+* add "Anonymous FTP Password" to Options menu, to allow user to override use
+ of personal email address as the anonymous ftp password (Debian #137480) -TD
+* modify LYCheckForProxyURL() to check if a colon follows a slash, which would
+ make the colon not part of a URL (report/patch by Matt Kraal (Debian
+ #240237)).
+* add test/special_urls.html -TD
+* update test/iso8859-1.html (minor fixes) from
+ http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html
+* add check for broken WU_FTPD 2.6.2-12, e.g., at ftp://ftp.pppl.gov/, and
+ disable EPSV. This is ifdef'd with BROKEN_WU_FTPD and checks version (Debian
+ #66560, as well as April 2003 reports by HN, PW) -TD
+* modify getfile(), etc., to ensure that following a link consisting of a
+ fragment will move the cursor to the link containing the target rather than
+ simply ensuring that it is visible (Debian #171312) -TD
+* modify ShowInfo() to list the rendered size in bytes if the Content-Length
+ is not available (Debian #61085) -TD
+* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() and void print_crawl_to_fd() to ensure that no
+ trailing blanks are written (Debian #204515) -TD
+* modify behavior when user attempts to toggle a radiobutton off, to make the
+ message that one radio button must be selected only in novice mode (Debian
+ #121520) -TD
+* make the maximum number of cookies configurable in lynx.cfg, added
+ MAX_COOKIES_DOMAIN, MAX_COOKIES_GLOBAL and MAX_COOKIES_BUFFER (Debian
+ #152810) -TD
+* reduce embedded blanks in button labels to single blanks -TD
+* reduce embedded blanks in title strings to single blanks (Debian #284679) -TD
+* add command-line option (-syslog-urls) and lynx.cfg settings (SYSLOG_TEXT,
+ SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS) to allow syslog'ing of URLs to be optional. This
+ cannot be set from the options menu (Debian #282739) -TD
+* modify HTParse() to restore a slash which may be removed during
+ simplification of URLs such as "file://localhost/tmp/..". The
+ LYFillLocalFileURL() function would then append the current directory to the
+ URL rather than the expected "/". This case which happens in DIRED, was
+ caused by 2.8.5dev.15 changes (Debian #285140) -TD
+
+2004-11-07 (2.8.6dev.8)
+* improve def7_uni.tbl substitutions for the symbols beginning at U+2600
+ (patch by Tim Larson <Tim.Larson@conagrafoods.com>).
+* update nl.po, sv.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
+* add clean.com -TD
+* scripting fixes to make OpenVMS/IA64 platform build/work -TD
+* several changes to use const, prompted by VMS compiler warnings -TD
+* remove build-slang.com -TD
+* simplify libmake.com -TD
+* modify build.com, making its second parameter a comma-separated list of the
+ special libraries which may be used, e.g., bzlib, slang, ssl and zlib -TD
+* some cleanup using non_empty() macro -TD
+* limit TEXTAREA columns to the screen width, and rows to 3 times the screen
+ height (report by FLWM) -TD
+
+2004-10-17 (2.8.6dev.7)
+* update de.po, et.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx
+* clarification in manpage description of "-pseudo_inlines" option (Dan
+ Jacobson).
+* correct parsing of embedded URLs which have parameters but no path, e.g.,
+ base
+ http://wj55.org/Minutes.php
+ and embedded
+ ?date_meeting=2004-08-31
+ (Debian #274619, report/analysis by Liam K Morland) -TD
+* improve description of --assume-local-charset option (Debian #270915) -TD
+* revise configure script check whether _POSIX_C_SOURCE should be defined,
+ taking into account the _POSIX_SOURCE definition (report by PG) -TD
+* add --with-system-type option to configure script to simplify testing the
+ case-statements involving $host_os -TD
+* fix a memory leak in IPv6 version of HTGetAddrInfo() -TD
+* modify HTCompressed() to choose the last viewer in the list with the best
+ quality. User-defined viewers appear after the built-in viewers, and by
+ choosing the last, lynx allows one to override the built-in defaults -TD
+* add "deflate" to the encoding types which lynx implements. This consists
+ of several parts (report by Thorsten Glaser) -TD
+ + adapted logic from w3m's inflate.c to construct an internal "deflate"
+ decompressor. Tested this with
+ http://carsten.codimi.de/gzip.yaws/
+ + simplify VMS-specific logic for trimming version in HTLoadFile().
+ + combined VMS- and Unix logic for decompression in HTLoadFile() as a new
+ function decompressAndParse() to eliminate clutter. As a side-effect,
+ eliminate some memory leaks in cases where the file is not loaded properly.
+ + add/use new function HTEncodingToCompressType() to eliminate clutter.
+ + add "deflate" to the options menu.
+ + modify logic that builds "Accept-Encoding" value to omit encodings which
+ have no external decompressor associated. The effect of this change is to
+ allow lynx to behave as it did before adding the (possibly incomplete)
+ "inflate" support.
+ + add INFLATE_PATH to lynx.cfg, to optionally specify an external program
+ which can be used to decompress deflated files. For testing, a shell
+ script using w3m's utility, e.g., /usr/lib/w3m/inflate, sufficed.
+ NOTE: As currently implemented, lynx requires the external decompression
+ programs to be specified even if it can decompress using library calls.
+ + use ".zz" for suffix of downloaded (but not inflated) deflated files,
+ mapped to application/deflate and application/x-deflate.
+* fix LYSetConfigValue(), which did not properly handle the CONF_PRG case which
+ is used to allow user configuring the program paths -TD
+* fix content_is_compressed() function, which was checking for the absence only
+ of some nonstandard encodings (8bit, 7bit, binary) rather than for the
+ presence of the encodings as specified in RFC 2068 (gzip, compress, etc).
+ This makes lynx able to view a site
+ which puts the charset as the Content-Type (report by FLWM) -TD
+* fix configure script: top-level makefile uses $(TAR), which was not defined
+ if --without-dired option was used (report by Gabor Z Papp) -TD
+
+2004-10-10 (2.8.6dev.6)
+* highlight the target and pause for 20 milliseconds when selecting a link with
+ the mouse -GV
+* improve layout of options-menu and info-page for multibyte character sets by
+ computing the extent of the labels. This works only for wide-character
+ curses (this addresses part of Debian #240069) -TD
+* improve check in LYstartPopup() for case where a window would be created too
+ far right to be entirely visible. ncurses changes in 20040417 to allow
+ windows to extend beyond the terminal limits exposed this problem (which may
+ have occurred with other versions of curses). Older versions of ncurses
+ would return an error in this case (forcing lynx to do the proper layout),
+ obscuring the actual problem. Noticed that the same problem applies to slang
+ configuration, and applied a comparable fix there too -TD
+* modify HTConfirmCookie() to ensure the translator's note is copied into the
+ lynx.pot file, by adding a gettext("Y/N/A/V") call after the comment -TD
+* remove references in makefile.in to the "intl" subdirectory since that is no
+ longer packaged with lynx -TD
+* modify column limits, allowing text to be written to the last column on the
+ screen. This allows users to view text which is formatted for 80 columns
+ without the last character of each line wrapping to the next line -TD
+* minor fixes to fr.po (Debian #119751, and aspell) -TD
+* remove newline from format in lookup_reject(), fixes a bug introduced in
+ 2.8.5dev.2 which caused traversal reject-lookups to fail -TD
+* minor fixes to fr.po, cs.po and pt_BR.po to eliminate fatal errors as
+ reported by "msgfmt -c -v" -TD
+* minor fix to fr.po (Debian #271048, report/patch by Arnaud Giersch).
+* update URL for "HTML Quick Reference Guide" in lynx_help_main.html (report
+ by Jim Jackson) -TD
+* update hu.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx
+* remove a "defined(gettext)" from the ifdef's in HTConfirmCookie(), since
+ recent GNU gettext, e.g., 0.13.1, introduced an incompatible/undocumented
+ change to make the function a macro which is defined in terms of dgettext()
+ (Debian #204994, report by Mattias Ostergren) -TD
+* modify pumpData() in HTMIME.c to improve recovery when a charset is found
+ that cannot be translated. Before this change, the charset was not stripped
+ from the format string, e.g.,
+ text/html; charset=big5
+ and since there would be no match for the format, lynx would offer to simply
+ download the page (if interactive), or refuse to format (for dumps).
+ Although the content of the page is unusable, the user can still navigate
+ the page using the links which may be there (Debian #254603) -TD
+* add -nonumbers option, which modifies the output of -dump to suppress the
+ link-numbering (Debian #255571) -TD
+* add -listonly option, which modifies the output of -dump to show only the
+ list of links (Debian #255571) -TD
+* modify treatment of symbolic links for ftp-URLs to show the link target, as
+ with the local directory editor -TD
+* correct sort-order of local directory listing, using the target of a symbolic
+ link to determine whether it is grouped with files or directories (adapted
+ from patch by Kees Cook) -TD
+* modify template for temporary-directory name, adding "lynx" prefix (Debian
+ #267356) -TD
+* fixes for configure script macros used for --enable-nls when --srcdir is
+ used (from bug report for dialog by Mike Castle) -TD
+* improve configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+ is defined with a value (comment on comp.sys.stratus newsgroup) -TD
+* reduce TRST_MAXROWSPAN and TRST_MAXCOLSPAN to 200, which is more plausible
+ than 10000 by 1000 (discussion on lynx-dev related to report by Edgard
+ Pineda) -TD
+* modify LYShowInfo.c to entify most strings, and provide for alignment of
+ fields in different locales -TD
+
+2004-06-30 (2.8.6dev.5)
+* use LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() on the value passed to handle_LYK_HELP() in case
+ it is of the form file:///path rather than file://localhost/path -DK
+* add configure check for ncurses' curses_version() function, using that in
+ the "-version" output. Add comparable ifdef's for PDCurses and slang -TD
+* Some patches to enable IPv6 on Windows (tested with MingW and MSVC6). Some
+ minor cleanups also -GV
+ + LYutils.c; fixed extraction of module/system error strings.
+ + Xsystem.c; use <io.h> for mktemp() prototype.
+ + HTTCP.c; don't use global host[], fixed call-convention of thread- function
+ (must be __stdcall). Sets pending WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND error status.
+ + HTTP.c; _thread_func() wasn't __stdcall.
+ + LYexit.c; avoid redeclaring error of exit() in <process.h>. IMHO it's very
+ bad to shadow ANSI functions like this. Should call LYexit() explicitly.
+ + www_tcp.h; cleanup for MSVC and IPv6 headers and macros. Increase
+ MAXHOSTNAMELEN to 128.
+* updated po files (da.po, et.po, hu.po, sv.po, tr.po) from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/domains/
+* change HTDOS_wwwName() and HTVMS_wwwName() to return a const value (report
+ by Serge B) -TD
+* update configure script macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (fixes Debian #238057) and
+ CF_X_ATHENA (from xterm) -TD
+* update config.guess (2004-06-24) and config.sub (2004-06-24)
+* modified mailcap command and testcommand substitutions to provide for
+ running the testcommand's after program initialization (prompted by review
+ of Debian #167200, which gave as example a mailcap using %{charset} in the
+ test commands) -TD
+* add (ifdef'd with EXP_HTTP_HEADERS) code in HTMIME.c to collect and in
+ LYShowInfo.c to display the full text of the HTTP headers -TD
+* correct command-line options table for "-get_data" and "-post_data" which
+ were processed twice, thereby discarding the value (Debian #132674) -TD
+* lynx accepts multiple URLs on the command line; all are added to G)oto
+ history. Documented this in manpage (Debian #177062) -TD
+* modify logic for -dump so it can dump all pages listed on the command line
+ (Debian #199131) -TD
+* add presentation type for application/xhtml+xml mime type as per RFC 3236
+ (report by Elimar Riesebieter) -TD
+
+2004-05-23 (2.8.6dev.4)
+* use puts() rather than printf() in some messages to avoid chance of "%" in
+ the translation -TD
+* add experimental option --enable-japanese-utf8 for using libiconv for
+ Japanese and UTF-8 -TH, TD
+* update makelynx.bat -Victor Schneider
+* modify configure script CF_ADD_CFLAGS to put definitions of quoted strings
+ in EXTRA_CPPFLAGS -TD
+* fixes from Thorsten Glaser:
+ + check for arc4random as a possible random function.
+ + modify configure script CF_CHECK_CACHE to look for config.guess in
+ $ac_aux_dir if it is not in the source directory.
+* fix naming conflict with AS_cmp() function when NOT_ASCII is defined -PG
+* read user's ".newsauth" file for news-server authentication information
+ (prompted by A R Vener request) -TD
+* modify HTSaveAndExecute() to check first for result from HTFileSuffix()
+ before choosing between BIN_SUFFIX and HTML_SUFFIX. This allows the PDF
+ viewer on OS X to get the proper suffix (.pdf) rather than .bin -PG, TD
+* filter out extra screen-repainting when a charset change is made -IZ
+* update README and other documentation to reflect new mailing list -TD
+* add PREFERRED_ENCODING to lynx.cfg, along with an options-menu selection for
+ this, to set "Accept-Encoding:" string -TD
+* add PREFERRED_MEDIA_TYPES to lynx.cfg, corresponding to the option for
+ HTFilterPresentations(). A minimal set of media types is used by default,
+ though the old behavior can be selected -TD
+* modify HTFilterPresentations() to use new option menu entry for specifying
+ what parts of the user- and system-mailcap data to use in Accept's. The
+ intent is to provide easily managed subsets of the Accept string, to work
+ with servers that do not accept long Accept strings (prompted by discussion
+ on lynx-dev mailing list) -TD
+* Remove logic from HTFilterPresentations() which reduced the Accept strings
+ based on wildcards since RFC 2616 says wildcards are lower precedence than
+ other settings -TD
+* improve matching for mailcap test-commands in HTInit.c by eliminating
+ unnecessary whitespace with TrimCommand() -TD
+* remove obsolete note about SSL patches in lynx_url_support.html -TD
+
+2004-05-06 (2.8.6dev.3)
+* add scripts/indent.sh, use this to reindent C source files -TD
+* bump version in makefile.in to 2.8.6 -TD
+
+2004-04-27 (2.8.6dev.2)
+* modify CF_NCURSES_LIBS to only look for -lmytinfo when building with ncurses.
+ This works around FreeBSD's broken linker semantics when configuring for
+ ncursesw -TD
+* update CF_GNUTLS macro to look for -lgnutls-openssl as well as the older
+ -lgnutls-extra library -TD
+* fix a spurious match of <openssl/ssl.h> when --with-ssl=path option provides
+ enough information to ensure that the test would be incorrect -TD
+* update config.guess (2004-02-16), config.sub (2004-02-23)
+* fixes to src/chrtrans/makefile.in, e.g., for building PDCurses version,
+ broken by dev.1 changes for cross-compiling -TD
+* remove macros such as ARGS1, NOPARM which supported K&R compilers -TD
+
+2004-04-19 (2.8.6dev.1)
+* correct ifdef in LYgetattrs() to ensure that getattrs() is used only if the
+ configure script actually found it (report/patch by Paul Gilmartin).
+* correct LYcommandList() to allocate data passed to HTList_addObject(), since
+ LYRemoveFromCloset() may free it (report by FLWM) -TD
+* modify configure-script check for use_default_colors() to allow it to find
+ NetBSD's implementation of that function (report/patch by Julian Coleman)
+* check for non-null file pointer in cleanup of makeuctb to work properly when
+ it is invoked without command-line parameters (report by FLWM) -TD
+* add a null-pointer check to parameter of HTQuoteParameter(), fixes bug
+ introduced in 2.8.5pre.4 (report by FLWM) -TD
+* correct units shown by HTReadProgress() for very low rates - bug from
+ 2.8.5pre.3 changes (report by PG) -TD
+* use symbol USE_VERTRACE in HTUtils.h to allow makefiles that do not use the

+ by FLWM) -TD
+* modify configure script and makefiles to allow cross-compiling -TD
+* make ANSI C required, drop support for K&R C -TD

+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
+* use autoconf 2.52 (plus patches), to simplify use in cross-compiling -TD
+* escape "From " when it appears in a page which is mailed, to avoid confusing
+ mail clients -TD
+
+2004-02-04 (2.8.5rel.1)
+* build fixes for MINGW32 -DK
+* build fixes for OS/2 (reported by IZ) -TD
+
+2004-02-02 (2.8.5pre.5)
+* MINGW32-specific changes to build with that configuration using the configure
+ script in Cygwin and "-mno-cygwin" option -DK
+* move Cygwin defines for WIN_EX, _WINDOWS_NSL out of www_tcp.h, to the
+ configure script to fix a definition-order problem with CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE
+ (report by DK) -TD
+* improve workaround for ncurses to build with pre-4.0 versions that do not
+ declare attr_t -TD
+
+2004-01-28 (2.8.5pre.4)
+* workaround to build with ncurses 4.2 -TD
+* fixes from Thorsten Glaser:
+ + use ${GNUSYSTEM_AUX_DIR}/mkinstalldirs if it exists.
+ + use $ac_config_sub variable in CF_CHECK_CACHE macro.
+ + add case in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to prevent defining _XOPEN_SOURCE
+ + use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) variable in generated makefile.
+ + correct comment in lynx.cfg for the default value of FTP_PASSIVE
+ + increase pattern length for mkdtemp() call.
+* add command-line & menu option/config variables to replace the compile-time
+ UNDERLINE_LINKS definition (suggested by BL) -TD
+* correct ownership of installed lynx_doc directory (report by FLWM, PG) -TD
+* modify configure check for tar to test several common variants including
+ star, modify makefile.in to use the configured 'tar' program (request by
+ FLWM) -TD
+* compiler ifdef-fixes -BL
+* documentation updates for DJGPP and OpenSSL -DK
+* fixes/updates for DJGPP makefiles -DK
+* modify po/makefile.inn to substitute the PACKAGE and VERSION strings into
+ lynx.pot automatically, and to remove the unused boilerplate header comment
+ (suggested by LP) -TD
+* fixes for substituted project-version in configure script -TD
+
+2004-01-24 (2.8.5pre.3)
+* update documentation's version numbers for release -TD
+* modify configure check for libbz2 to allow for older headers which do not
+ include <stdio.h> -TD
+* add configure option --enable-locale-charset, which adds configure settings
+ and an option-menu checkbox telling lynx if it should use the function call
+ nl_langinfo(CODESET) to find the display character set rather than rely on
+ the user to set it via lynx.cfg or the options menu (discussion with Andreas
+ Metzler) -TD
+* remove intl subdirectory (gettext-0.10.35), since some of the ".po" files
+ have been modified to rely upon newer features of gettext. Modified
+ configure script macro to report this properly -TD
+* add SSL_CERT_DIR, SSL_CERT_FILE to lynx.man (suggested by SC) -TD
+* documentation updates for DJGPP -DK, LP, FLWM
+* update address for Free Software Foundation in COPYHEADER and COPYING
+ (Atsuhito Kohda).
+* change CF_CHECK_IPV6 to warn rather than error-out if a working getaddrinfo()
+ function cannot be found. The previous behavior would warn on Linux and
+ error-out on other systems (report by RobertM) -TD
+* localized displayed strings used for popups in options menu -TD
+* add SHOW_KB_NAME to allow user to decide whether to display "KB" or "Kib"
+ or even "Kilobytes" for the progress message (discussion on lynx-dev) -TD
+* correct form generated to select Visited Links page in LYHistory.c to match
+ the values used in LYOptions.c with new function LYMenuVisitedLinks, and
+ corrected ifdef to ensure that menu is generated when the forms-based option
+ menu is configured (report by TH) -TD
+* modify configure check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since AC_PROG_RANLIB
+ does not do proper cross-compiling checks. This actually applies to autoconf
+ 2.5x -- autoconf 2.13 does less in that area -TD
+* update config.guess (2004-01-05) and config.sub (2004-01-05).
+* ensure that freeaddrinfo() is only called if lynx has initialized its
+ parameter, fixes a core-dump on IRIX6.5 -TD
+* change remaining references for lynx.browser.org to lynx.isc.org (reported by
+ Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+
+2004-01-19 (2.8.5pre.2)
+* update URLs in docs/README.ssl (SC, DK).
+* use http://search.lycos.com rather than the messy http://www.lycos.com -DK
+* update some URLs in lynx_help -FLWM (Frederic L W Meunier)
+* remove a few unnecessary #include's (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* fix some compiler warnings with casts -PG
+* add docs/ directory to "make install-doc" rule. If the help-files are
+ compressed, the same will apply to the non-README files in that directory
+ (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* minor fixes to allow compiling with K&R compiler, e.g.,SunOS 4.x with the
+ 5lib curses -TD
+* split up remove_file() in LYLocal.c so directory removal is performed in a
+ separate function remove_directory(). Neither will perform an "rm -rf",
+ but only single operations "rm" and "rmdir". The original behavior can be
+ obtained by setting RMDIR_PATH to point to a script which does "rm -rf"
+ in lynx.cfg (suggested by Pat Walsh).
+* modify configure script so NetBSD does not define _XOPEN_SOURCE, since that
+ makes the IPv6 code not compile -TD
+* modify configure script to prefer _SGI_SOURCE on IRIX6.5 to allow it to
+ compile IPv6 support (report by RobertM) -TD
+* replace fixed-buffer Style_className[] with a dynamically-allocated buffer,
+ needed for large pages which lack correctly-nested tags, e.g.,
+ http://www.aspas-nature.org/petitions/petition2.html
+ (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* move OMIT_SCN_KEEPING definition to LYHash.h, to avoid mismatch between the
+ LYCurses.c and HTML.c -TD
+* remove obsolete OPT_SCN ifdef from HTML.c since the inactive side does not
+ compile -TD
+* fix a few out-of-bounds errors in LYSetHiText() and related functions,
+ which were found by valgrind -TD
+
+2004-01-07 (2.8.5pre.1)

+* undef conflicting symbols "small" and FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST which are
+ misdefined in Cygwin's w32api headers (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* amend check for refresh-URL to ensure it only prepends a link for text/html
+ content type (report by Carlton Anderson) -TD
+* do not strip parameters from refresh-URL (report by Carlton Anderson gave an
+ example of their use) -TD
+* correct logic for resetting count of leading/trailing spaces in S_litteral
+ case (report by TH) -TD
+* remove obsolete XMOSAIC_HACK defines -TD
+* adapted patch by Bjoern Jacke <bjoern@j3e.de> to ensure that toupper(),
+ tolower() and isupper() macros are interpreted in POSIX locale. This is
+ ifdef'd with EXP_ASCII_CTYPES -TD
+* improve check for Unix-style shell given in $SHELL by limiting the check to
+ the base-name (discussion with GV, DK) -TD
+* modify increment_tagged_htline() to reallocate its HTLine parameter if the
+ result would be larger than the allocation. This can happen when a large
+ textarea is adjusted (report by Thorsten Glaser) -TD
+* add ifdef'd logic to change HTLine to calloc() rather than memory pools,
+ making it possible to use valgrind, etc., for debugging -LP
+* modify version shown for SSL to be derived from runtime SSLeay_version()
+ function if linked with OpenSSL or SSLeay. Add corresponding definition
+ for GNU TLS (discussion by Frederic L W Meunier, GV) -TD
+* add check for broken ProFTPD 1.2.5rc1, e.g., at ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub,
+ and force a reconnection if an error 550 is detected when doing RETR. This
+ is ifdef'd with BROKEN_PROFTPD and checks version (reports by GV, DK) -TD
+* modify file-upload to not print a warning message if the form-field is empty
+ (Frank Heckenbach).
+* add a few null-pointer checks to GridText.c (addresses symptoms reported by
+ Frederic L W Meunier when nested-tables are toggled off) -TD
+* modify LYTrimNewline() to trim carriage-returns as well as line-feeds, making
+ it possible to share cookie files between platforms that have different
+ line-terminations (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* rename EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES ifdef to USE_PERSISTENT_COOKIES -TD
+* rename EXP_READPROGRESS ifdef to USE_READPROGRESS -TD
+* rename SOURCE_CACHE ifdef to USE_SOURCE_CACHE -TD
+* change a few configure script defaults to "enable": source-cache, prettysrc
+ and read-eta. Also change default for read-eta configuration flag to "Show
+ KB/Sec" (requests by LP, Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* modify generated help_files.sed script to fix a couple of cases where the

+ corresponding ifdef to USE_FILE_UPLOAD -TD
+* use EXEEXT, OBJEXT substitutions in makefile.in -TD
+* update configure script check for getbegx(), etc -TD
+* revert table-layout changes from dev.15/dev.16 because of unresolved
+ issues -TD
+* add configure option --with-bzlib -TD
+* modify bzip2/zlib ifdef's to make them independent -TD
+* implement support for bzip compression by internal calls to libbz2 -IZ
+* make usage of EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT and EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT consistent
+ (report by LP) -TD
+* if a document is in the cache (the rendering is in memory), on reload it
+ should not be cleared from the cache until the connection to the server is
+ opened; if the connection fails, the user will reuse the old version (request
+ by IZ) -LP
+* for DJGPP, escape all backslashes in commands given to LYSystem() when
+ a Unix-style shell is given in $SHELL -DK, TD
+* correct strings in LYOptions.c so ENABLE_LYNXRC works for bookmark_file
+ and run_all_execution_links -DK
+* modify comparison in USE_CURSES_PAIR_0 ifdef of parse_attributes() to take
+ into account the mono-attributes as well. This fixes a case where a color
+ style might have the same color-attributes as the background, and would
+ incorrectly fall-through to use the mono-attributes (report by DK) -TD
+* rewrote lynx_chg_color() to handle a COLORS value of 16 (report by TH) -TD
+* redefine PDCurses' COLORS value to 16, since it incorrectly uses 8 -TD
+* add -scrsize option and corresponding SCREEN_SIZE value to lynx.cfg to allow
+ lynx's screensize to be specified. To display background color properly,
+ this also requires a patch to PDCurses:
+ http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/~patakuti/tmp/lynx/PDCurses-2.5.patch.resize
+ This requires PDCurses 2.5 and higher -TH
+* add a clean-rule to src/chrtrans/makefile.bcb -TD
+* fix pathname generated for "View temporary file" in LYDownload.c using new
+ function LYAddPathToSave() (report by P.J.Walsh) -TD
+* comment-out --enable-libjs option since it is not used -TD
+* change code to match lynx.cfg description for FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT and
+ FORCE_SSL_PROMPT, making "prompt" rather than "default" the keyword to use
+ when telling lynx to prompt (report by DK) -TD
+* really add FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg (report by DK) -TD
+* change default of configure script options --enable-source-cache and
+ --enable-prettysrc to non-experimental to "yes", so they will normally
+ be compiled-in, but normally disabled in lynx.cfg (suggested by LP).
+* modify configure script and related ifdef's to build with gnutls 0.8.9
+ (report by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
+* modify ifdef's to use mkdtemp() if it is available (prompted by MirBSD
+ patch) -TD
+* several fixes from (TG) (Thorsten Glaser - MirBSD):
+ + workaround for invoking shell scripts when executable permissions are
+ discarded as a result from using CVS.
+ + adjust buffer-size used in a readlink() call in case the result is too
+ long to include trailing null.
+ + change default ftp mode to passive.
+ + if ftp connection fails, automatically retry, switching between passive
+ and active modes. Do this retry switching only when connecting to a
+ different host. A new variable ftp_local_passive distinguishes this
+ from the user preference in ftp_passive.
+ + improved certificate handling (case-insensitive domain-comparison, strip
+ port-numbers from comparison).
+ + fix a few typos & compiler-warnings.
+* add PT154 charset support. See
+ http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/PTCP154 for more information.
+ (patch by Timur Birsh <birsh@mail.kz>)
+* integrate some improvements for configure script in CF_BUNDLED_INTL and
+ CF_OUR_MESSAGES from tin and dialog -TD
+* remove #undef for UTF8 from UCMap.h, rename UTF8 variable, modify configure
+ check for slang to test-compile with with the Debian slang-utf8 package -TD
+* modify configure script to not use "head -1", which does not work for some
+ platforms when POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set -TD
+* fix configure script check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h> -TD
+* modify an ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to allow compile with DJGPP -GV
+* add docs/README.sslcerts (Stefan Caunter <cauntes@mail.mohawkc.on.ca>).
+* modify LYLocalFileToURL() to allow for CurrentDir() returning a value that
+ does not begin with a slash, e.g., with DJGPP which returns a drive-letter
+ first -DK
+* amend change in dev.15 to HTParse() to escape spaces, to exclude non-URL
+ strings such as absolute filenames (report by Patrick Ash) -TD
+* modify LYParseTagParam() (added in dev.13) to not stop on ';' (fixes a bug
+ reported by LV which broke complicated refresh-URL containing "&amp;") -TD
+* change default start page to lynx.isc.org, since lynx.browser.org is not
+ maintained -TD
+* modify HTML_start_element() to work with a case where there is an HREF
+ attribute without a value, fixes bug introduced after dev.9, e.g., for
+ X-URL: http://bankr.tsr.ru/tv-6.shtml
+ (also reported by Frederic L W Meunier for http://www.jacotei.com.br/) -LP
+* correct construction of link to temporary filename in download options, did
+ not port to DOS-pathnames (report by LP) -TD
+
+2003-06-01 (2.8.5dev.16)
+* add zh_CN.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
+* updated obsolete link for nntp in users's guide -TD
+* add F_FILE_TYPE to F_TEXTLIKE() macro, and use it consistently in a few more
+ places, making editing in filename fields consistent with other text input
+ fields -TD
+* add LYAdjHiTextPos() to modify the behavior of color-style code, so leading
+ blanks are not highlighted (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* modify CacheThru_new() to accept "https:" URLs for source-caching (report
+ by Chuck Martin) -TD
+* adapt some of the SH_EX ifdef'd features (TD):
+ + add -delay option, to make progress messages slow, along with corresponding
+ code for lynx.cfg
+ + show build date/time for systems that do not use a configure script.
+ + use LYK_CHG_CENTER keycode bound to ^Q to control whether table cells are
+ centered. The command-line -center option also controls this behavior.
+* add BIN_SUFFIX, TEXT_SUFFIX to userdefs.h -TD
+* modify BeginInternalPage(), adding a doctype to generated internal pages
+ to allow validating them -TD
+* modify HTFWriter.c to use binary suffix for any file with an application
+ presentation type, to better distinguish it from text and html. Use text
+ suffix for any "text/" file other than "text/html". These changes cover the
+ most common cases needed to make a link to view the temporary file useful in
+ the download page -TD
+* modify LYdownload_options(), adding a link to view the temporary file if the
+ downloaded file is text or html -TD
+* modify LYwouldPush(), omitting the download page from list of user-interface
+ pages which should not be pushed onto the history stack when visiting another
+ page, such as info or help. Otherwise the downloaded file is discarded
+ (report by BL) -TD
+* simplify set_vi_keys() and related functions using table-driven
+ set_any_keys() and reset_any_keys() -TD
+* HTAnchor_findAddress now returns HTParentAnchor, avoid casting -LP
+* change select timeout in HTCheckForInterrupt() to zero, allowing immediate
+ return rather than waiting (DJGPP otherwise blocks for 50msec). For Unix
+ platforms, the DontCheck() function limits the amount of polling which
+ otherwise would be too much CPU usage -LP
+* modify configure check for gcc -Winline warning to work around defect in
+ gcc 3.3 -TD
+* fix bug introduced recently in forms-submitting for TEXTAREA; the "%0d%0a"
+ was put after each line rather than before, making the first and second lines
+ joined (report by LV) -TD
+* reset the leading/trailing space counts in error-recovery logic added in
+ 2.8.5dev.15 for S_litteral case in SGML_character(). Otherwise a mismatch,
+ e.g., due to a stray "<" or ">" in <script>...</script>, prevented a match
+ on the </script> -TD
+* do not free adult_table[] atexit - it should be perfectly empty after
+ free'ing all HText's. (There is an error if it is not empty at exit) -LP
+* unnamed child anchors (`children_notag' list) now use HText memory pool.
+ Links properly deleted when reparsing the document -LP
+* Use less memory for documents with many anchors: most anchors are never
+ visited, just stored for the reference. So fill in adult_table[] with
+ HTParentAnchor0 (36 bytes size) instead of full HTParentAnchor (~200 bytes).
+ HTParentAnchor now allocated on demand, nearly 1:1 to HText. [more comments
+ in HTAnchor.h, changes located in HTAnchor.c] -LP
+* HTParentAnchor0 stores its hash value, to avoid calling HASH_FUNCTION twice
+ on the same anchor (Re: HTAnchor_delete()) -LP
+* fix a potential out-of-bounds bug in HTBEquivalent() -LP
+* change strrchr() calls to strchr() in a few src/*.c file when parsing
+ "#fragment" left-to-right -LP
+* modify HTFWriter_abort() to remove file on error -IZ
+* added hot.paste style which puts a right-arrow at the UR corner (which is
+ currently unused). Clicking on it initiates a GOTO to the current selection
+ (same as PASTE_URL action). The hot.paste style is disabled unless STYLES
+ and CUT_AND_PASTE are both enabled. Disabled and the user defines hot.paste
+ in the ".lss" file -IZ
+* modify LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c to allow pasting URLs of the form
+ <address> and "<URL:address>" to lynx. This is useful when it is not easy to
+ choose address without the surrounding "<>" or "<URL:>" -IZ
+* make a minor memory saving (circa 15%) for table processing, improve yet
+ another case of "ladder" (as in the top of google results), and fixes one
+ case of "wrong indentation" (elements of a table which contained <center>
+ were made too wide) -IZ
+* modify Stbl_trimFakeRows() to compensate for 2.8.5dev.15 changes to
+ Stbl_addRowToTable() from 2.8.5dev.15 which caches shrinking cell arrays in a
+ pool. It did not take into account reallocation of the same data, e.g., in
+ Stbl_reserveCellsInRow(). For example:
+ http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/FacultyStaff/Directory/default.htm
+ (report by Patrick Ash) -IZ
+* add FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the
+ options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets
+ the user decide whether to ignore prompting for cookies with invalid syntax.
+ If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is displayed -TD
+* add FORCE_SSL_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the
+ options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets
+ the user decide whether to ignore prompting for questionable aspects of
+ an SSL connection. If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is
+ displayed -TD
+* change select() calls to use the expected 1+descriptor value documented for
+ that function rather than FD_SETSIZE. It is possible that some very old
+ or unique platform would not work, but this is more efficient (discussion on
+ lynx-dev) -TD
+* modify logic for S_litteral case in SGML_character() to recover from spaces
+ between the '<', '>' and the corresponding end of the tag, e.g.,
+ <style >
+ < style >
+ < style >
+ match "<style>", and
+ </style >
+ < /style >
+ < /style >
+ match "</style>" (report by TH) -TD
+* correct a check in HText_trimHightext() for the last line of the display,
+ which left unhighlighted the portion of a multi-line anchor which fell in
+ that place (report by TH) -TD
+* correct an off-by-one in redraw_lines_of_link() which left the link on the
+ last line on a page highlighted when moving the cursor up (reported by Morten
+ Bo Johansen) -TD
+
+2003-04-27 (2.8.5dev.15)
+* change definition of docdir1, helpdir1 to avoid using ksh-semantics (see
+ 2.8.5dev.2) -TD
+* update ja.po, uk.po, zh_TW.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
+* improve layout of TRSTable.c, reducing "laddering" effect, where cells in
+ different columns do not overlap by lines -IZ
+* modify SGML_new() to allow display charset-switching when reloading a
+ document -IZ
+* fix a buffer-size in LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c -IZ
+* various improvements to load-time for TRSTable.c -IZ
+ As a test:
+ <URL:ilyaz.org/software/tmp/table_2col_bold_it_500000.html.gz>.
+ This is a simple table with 2 columns, one with bold contents, another with
+ italic one. The total number of rows is 500K. With the patch and an
+ acceptable malloc(), lynx should use the working set of about 110M to show
+ the table. On my system with 128M memory, this leads to only 4M of the
+ process space swapped.
+* add case LYK_TO_CLIPBOARD to HTCheckForInterrupt (not a good place), to allow
+ COPY command to work during download (copying the location to clipboard).
+ The best thing would be to get the location *after* redirects, but this will
+ require some additional work -IZ
+* add popen-based support for cut/paste. This is a slightly reworked patch to
+ GNU readline. If RL_PASTE_CMD and RL_CLCOPY_CMD are defined in the
+ environment, lynx will use them as commands to do cut&paste. The simplest
+ such commands could just store/retrieve things from
+ /tmp/.clipboard_user-name; more advanced ones could use X clipboard -IZ
+* modify yawerty_kb.h to map U+0411 and U+0431 to 'B' and 'W' positions
+ respectively. The map contained U+0412 and U+0432 at those positions,
+ which are duplicated at other positions -IZ
+* fix HTLoadFinger() which was miscasting const data -TD
+* update Subir Grewal's Lynx links URL to the newest location
+ http://www.subir.com/lynx.html -TD
+* add configure option --with-gnutls, to allow lynx to be built with gnutls.
+ Used gnutls 0.8.6 on Redhat 8.0 to login at yahoo (gnutls is not very
+ portable, so this is an experimental option) -TD
+* modify loop in HTInitProgramPaths() to convert enum ProgramPaths to an
+ integer, to accommodate HPUX 11.22 compiler (report by JES) -TD
+* amend change in dev.13 to HTParse() to escape spaces, to exclude lynx's
+ internal URL types such as lynxprog (report by P.J.Walsh) -TD
+* modified ifdef's to enable -connect_timeout option for DJGPP -GV
+ In particular, in LYUtils.c, undef "select" in case Lynx is compiled with
+ curses (and not S-Lang). Watt-32's select_s cannot be used on a
+ stdin handle, so one must undef it and use DJGPP's select().
+* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to work with MingW and PDcurses -GV
+* add version information for the macros in aclocal.m4 (request by Lars
+ Hecking) -TD
+* modify file-upload to use actual binary-data rather than base64-format -TD
+* generate unique boundary for multipart data in HText_SubmitForm() -TD
+* reorganize HText_SubmitForm(), maintaining post data using bstring's -TD
+* modify HText_SubmitForm() to add field name for the fake coordinate pair
+ when formatting a multipart submit (report by Peter Pilsl
+ <pilsl_@goldfisch.at>) -TD
+* change post_data to a bstring; implement functions and macros for
+ manipulating bstring data. This allows post_data to maintain embedded nulls,
+ e.g., for file-upload -TD
+* fix ifdef's for <ncursesw/term.h> -TD
+* fixes for file upload -IZ
+ + modify logic for headers use write them even if MultipartContentType was
+ not set.
+ + change logic for base64 to be used ONLY if \0 was found.
+ If a "strange" char is found, only change "text/plain" to
+ "application/octet-stream".
+* change a couple of _user_message() calls to HTUserMsg2() calls so their
+ content is saved in the "Messages" buffer -IZ, TD
+* undo 2002-11-11 SGMLFindTag optimization (problem with color styles,
+ reported by IZ). Optimize the function by storing the previously found tags.
+ Also use my_casecomp() to decrease AS_casecomp() calls by testing the
+ first character manually -LP
+* optimize HTStyle comparison: just compare numbers from enum.
+ It was previously implemented as a strcmp comparison with a fixed string.
+ Used in a very inner loop, in HTML_put_character() -LP
+* LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() now absorbs LYFillLocalFileURL() call -LP
+* optimize LYLegitimizeHREF() -LP
+* in HTML.c, revise href resolving logic. HTAnchor_findChildAndLink now
+ resolves href with respect to BASE internally; HTParse incorporates
+ LYFillLocalFileURL call (after the parsing, and only when the related string
+ is not empty and parse includes access, host, path and punctuation). This
+ removes all LYFillLocalFileURL and most HTParse calls from HTML.c and makes
+ code more consistent. (Previously, functions were called in a different order
+ for document with/without BASE, which had the side effect in some cases,
+ e.g., href="c:" on a DOS machine was resolved properly with _any_ base, and
+ badly broken without:) -LP
+* add/use HTParseALL macro to simplify coding -LP
+* revise "internal links" logic (read KW 1997-11-03 notes, before v2.8).
+ In HTML.c and HTAnchor.c, internal links code affects only parent lookup
+ in the adults table (more correct in case of post data), now a mainline:
+ we omit "#ifndef DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS" condition in the two files.
+ In HTML.c, avoid using internal links for unrelated `src=' attributes
+ (BGSOUND_SRC, FRAME_SRC, IFRAME_SRC, OVERLAY_SRC, EMBED_SRC links:) -LP
+* refine HTAnchor_delete() vs deleteLinks() mutual recursion logic - LP
+* change ALIGN_SIZE in GridText.c to sizeof(double), which is probably more
+ portable than "8" -LP
+* modify a syslog() call to guard against possible '%' in its parameter -TD
+* remove extra quotes from calling HTMake822Word() for form boundary names
+ (addresses bug report for fastmail.fm by P.J.Walsh) -TD
+
+2003-02-04 (2.8.5dev.14)
+* correct a missing ">" at the beginning of page sent as response to mailto -TD
+* simplify (clarify) anchor structure: links now moved from HTAnchor to
+ HTChildAnchor (the only place they were used). By this we avoid unneeded
+ casting in calls to HTAnchor_followMainLink, HTAnchor_followTypedLink,
+ deleteLinks. [GridText.c, HTML.c, LYList.c, HTAnchor.c] -LP
+* as of 1998-11-21 "workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML
+ document with the same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW",
+ along with skipping HTAnchor_link() call in this case now, we realize that
+ HTChildAnchor may have only a single link. (Previously implemented by
+ mainLink and links list). This simplifies HTAnchor.c -LP
+* simplify HTChunk.c -LP
+* optimize LYRemoveNewlines() and LYRemoveBlanks() -LP
+* check for no common name (CN) in certificate when connecting via SSL, fixes

+* workaround for compiler bug in fix_httplike_urls() -BL
+* change enumShowColor so SHOW_COLOR_NEVER is zero as in 2.8.3, which makes the

+* use malloc instead of calloc in several places, particularly in HTList
+ operations (each field initialized explicitly) -LP
+* fix a few typos in samples/mailcap (Carlton Anderson
+ <canderson1776@yahoo.com>).
+* ifdef'd default_fg and default_bg for PDCURSES to be 15, since that agrees
+ with lynx's use of color names, and works around a bug exposed by the
+ ASSUMED_COLORS change from 2.8.5dev.9 (report by DK) -TD
+* simplify pretty-source code in SGML.c using PUTS(), put_pretty_entity() and
+ put_pretty_number() -TD
+* refine S_attr test in SGML.c to make pretty-source code handle the case where
+ a blank precedes the '='. The misplaced markers made lynx omit newlines from
+ the pretty-source view (report by LP) -TD
+* rewrote HTStat() to ensure that it does stat() for files on Windows -TD
+* HTTCP.c patch to make DJGPP/Watt-32 non-blocking connect in HTDoConnect().
+ This allows pressing 'z' to abort connections. Removed extra _HTProgress()
+ for INET6; it overwrote previous progress message -GV, DK
+* in SGML.c, element stack now use a pool of 10 elements to avoid most of
+ malloc/free calls -LP
+* in HTParse(), use single alloca instead of three malloc/free pairs -LP
+* in HTParse.c, avoid most strcasecomp calls in scan() - LP
+* modify GridText.c to store lines, anchors, and forms in the same HText memory
+ pool as styles. This will optimize memory allocation/deallocation by 8Kb
+ units. The down side: lines in TRST mode will be stored twice. Some
+ structs are made a bit more compact -LP
+* add DJGPP to SINGLE_USER_UNIX special cases -DK
+* modify configure script to not strip the -g option from $CFLAGS if it was
+ present in the user's environment rather than autoconf adding it (report by
+ DK) -TD
+* add --with-curses-dir configure script option -TD
+* in SGMLFindTag, we translate string uppercase in-place and launch case
+ insensitive search, add SGMLFindUprTag() to cover the cases where the string
+ is readonly - LP, TD
+* DJGPP build restored. MV_PATH was undefined long ago by mistake. Fix recent
+ DJGPP changes in HTTCP.c: move _resolve_hook few lines below, it will not
+ compile otherwise. Remove minor warnings -LP
+* optimize parsing html with many relative links, href="#fragment" -
+ HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() and HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A: now avoid
+ significant overhead when link == HTInternalLink (e.g., resolving against
+ base, lots of reallocations, parent lookup, etc., all are useless). Two
+ functions affected. [HTAnchor.c, HTML.c]. The code works both with and
+ without DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS symbol -LP
+* optimize parsing of large html files - with thousands of anchors - LP
+ + remove quadratic complexity from split_line() usage [GridText.c].
+ Because of some work with anchors on the last(=split) line,
+ the anchors list was traversed from the beginning for each output line.
+ Now we store last_anchor_before_split explicitly.
+ [According to gprof, split_line() weight decreased from 33% down to 4%,
+ with the following test file: 13,000 output lines, 3,100 anchors, ~800Kb]
+ + remove quadratic complexity from HTAnchor_findChild() usage [HTAnchor.c].
+ HTParentAnchor::children list was traversed zillion times, now we
+ split it into a tree (named anchors <a name=...>, fast search required)
+ and a list (just a storage for the rest anchors, no search required).
+ [The same file, gprof shows HTAnchor_findChild() weight decreased
+ from 11% down to 0.1%]
+ + remove quadratic complexity when generating a 'l'ist page,
+ now traverse anchors list only once [LYList.c, GridText.c].
+* add a search method to HTBTree implementation - LP
+* amend check for refresh-URL to avoid adding a link if the retrieved page is

+* update configure script macros for NLS to gettext 0.10.40 -TD
+* add PRCS version/date to lynx.cfg -TD
+* setup ifdef's for Unix-specific permissions checks to exclude single-user
+ systems such as OS/2 EMX, Cygwin and BeOS, which otherwise act like Unix
+ since we can run the configure script on those platforms -TD
+* re-order some tests in the configure script to allow pdcurses' X11 port to
+ be recognized as supporting color and line-drawing characters -TD
+* work around a Cygwin bug which causes subprocesses of a full-screen program
+ to dump core (perhaps reported by Frederic L W Meunier, but observed in
+ running lynx in a bash shell spawned from my directory editor) -TD
+* fix an inequality in HTDirTitles() which made the "Up to" link omitted for
+ the first level of an ftp listing, making it awkward to visit the parent
+ directory if one first visited a subdirectory -TD
+* change HTURLPath_toFile() to keep local URLs distinct from remote ones, so
+ win32 version will not display misleading drive letter on ftp listings -TD
+* rewrote Home_Dir(), adding checks for "My Documents" on Windows 2000, and
+ ensuring that the resulting directory actually exists -TD
+* change ifdef's in LYwaddnstr() to use waddstr() consistently, since
+ wide-character curses implementation treat the string in the given locale
+ anyway, just like the waddnwstr() call -TD
+* reduce clutter with new macro LYIsDosDrive() -TD
+* add ifdef's for OS/2 EMX to existing DOSPATH code which checks for drive
+ letter (Michel Such)
+* modify definitions of IsOurFile() and OpenHiddenFile() to allow trace file
+ to be written when one already exists -TD
+* use new macros LYSameFilename(), LYSameHostname(), LYIsNullDevice() to hide
+ platform-specific filename comparisons -TD
+* change sed delimiter in configure script to use '%' consistently, to avoid
+ using '@', which may appear in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
+* narrowed accommodation for paths with embedded blanks in LYLegitimizeHREF()
+ to exclude those containing newlines or tabs (report by Leslie Fairall for
+ http://www.realtor.com) -TD
+* modified VMS build scripts to allow linking with OpenSSL, tested with
+ OpenSSL-0.9.6g using UCX network libraries. It is reported (by
+ <grant@rigel.cc.wmich.edu>) that one can modify the scripts to also build
+ with Multinet's UCX emulation, but the machine I used for testing has only
+ UCX (comp.os.vms discussion with Christoph Gartmann
+ <gartmann@immunbio.mpg.de>) -TD
+* modify UCSetBoxChars() to assume wide-character curses implementations can
+ draw boxes -TD
+* reduce the number of strncasecomp() calls with associated constants by making
+ macros for the lynx internal URL types, e.g., isLYNXCGI() -TD
+* modify logic that handles goto-fragment (e.g., G #foo) to update the URL
+ shown in the info page (Debian #113734) -TD
+* reduce clutter using new macros findPoundSelector(),
+ restorePoundSelector() and function trimPoundSelector() -TD
+* reduce clutter using functions for updating the strings in DocInfo, mainly in
+ LYMainLoop.c -TD
+* renamed 'document' to 'DocInfo' -TD
+* reduce clutter by using NonNull() macro consistently -TD
+* define HistInfo struct in terms of document, to make it clearer -TD
+* add verification of SSL server certificates. It requires a "cert.pem" file
+ or cert files in the "certs" subdirectory in your OpenSSL directory for CA
+ verification. The mod_ssl distribution includes a "ca-bundle.crt" that has a
+ good set of root certifying authority certs and works well for "cert.pem".
+ Adding custom CA root certs can be done by either putting them in the server
+ "cert.pem", or (for a normal user) copying "cert.pem", adding the cert, and
+ setting the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable before running Lynx (Chris
+ Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net>).
+* add REPLAYSECS config value to allow slowing command scripts down, for
+ testing -TD
+* implement a "set" command for command-scripts, allowing the script writer
+ to manipulate the sleep-times for messages (prompted by discussion with
+ Ville Herva) -TD
+* implement an "exit" command for command-scripts (Ville Herva)
+* modify logic for -cmd_script to stop reading from the command script when
+ an end-of-file is detected (patch by Ville Herva <vherva@niksula.hut.fi>).
+* fill in a few descriptions of restrictions for the help message, as well
+ as showing the on/off state of the "goto_xxx" restrictions -TD
+* correct inverted logic of restrictions table which made "-restrict=default"
+ provide incorrect values for several items. This was broken in 2.8.4dev.19
+ (reported by Jeff Long <long@ukans.edu> and RobertM <robm@bob.bofh.org>) -TD
+* add environment variable LYNX_TRACE_FILE which, if given, overrides the
+ compiled-in value of Lynx.trace (or LY-TRACE.LOG). This specifies the
+ name of the trace file relative to the home directory -TD
+* treat empty string for most environment variables, e.g., those specifying
+ a pathname, as null -TD
+* add environment variable LYNX_LOCALEDIR to simplify configuration on OS/2
+ EMX (from discussion with Michel Such) -TD
+* add alias for charsets "ISO-8859-8-I" and "ISO-8859-8-E" to "iso-8859-8"
+ (Debian #152441, request by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
+* modify handling of HTML_SUP to always append '^'. It was checking if the
+ preceding character was a valid hexadecimal code (reported by HN and Steve
+ White <swhite@zipcon.net>) -TD
+* correct check for calling endwin() to allow for curses implementations
+ without newterm (report/patch by Brett Lymn).
+* add koi8-r.html as a test for non-ANSI 8-bit displays -TD
+* construct "Accept-Encoding" gzip/compress parameters based on whether lynx is
+ built with zlib and/or gzip/compress paths are defined. The latter is
+ assumed on Unix (by the configure script), though non-Unix environments may
+ lack those utilities (report by Roy Langford <rlnopicnodl@geeklife.com>,
+ analysis by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* modify mouse support in slang configuration (Eduardo Chappa):
+ + Middle button takes you to the bookmarks file.
+ + Clicking on empty parts of the screen makes the screen scroll. This is
+ not 100% true, here are the caveats related to this:
+ + When you click in the first line of the screen pine goes back one screen,
+ the same happens when you click in the last line (this is normal Lynx
+ behavior, I did nothing in this respect). With this patch, intermediate
+ scrolling is enabled, which means that left clicking in different (empty
+ parts) of the screen may move you half a screen or two lines. The idea
+ is that close to the top you scroll more, close to the center you scroll
+ less and you scroll in the direction up or down according to which half
+ of the screen you click on.
+ + If you click on an empty part of the screen, Lynx changed its behavior
+ from doing nothing to moving the active link to the closest link near the
+ click. This is not disabled by this patch, instead, if a closest link is
+ not found, the screen will scroll, according to the position of the link.
+* improve check in LYgetEnum() for ambiguous/abbreviated names in the lynx.cfg
+ file, e.g., to match the string "visited_links=first" without confusing it
+ with "visited_links=first_reversed" (report by vortex5 <vortex5@24i.net>,
+ analysis by TH) -TD
+* use StrAllocCopy() rather than strdup() in parse_style() (LYStyle.c) to
+ avoid false report from leak-checking (from report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
+* share SSL handle between HTTP.c and HTAAUtil.c so that call of
+ HTAA_shouldRetryWithAuth() from HTLoadHTTP() updates the handle used in that
+ function. This makes lynx able to get the user/password prompt for
+ https://enter.nifty.com/iw/ -TH
+* fix a highlighting problem in view-source mode, which left the final
+ character of the target unhighlighted -TH
+* modify LYStringToKeycode(), which is used by -cmd_script option to decode
+ characters, to handle hexadecimal codes written with -cmd_log option from
+ dev.8 changes (reported by Gleb V Kotelnitskyy <kiz@pth.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua>) -TD
+* modify ifdef's in LYCurses.h to implement underline-links for slang
+ configuration (report by TH) -TD
+* modify checks with WEXITSTATUS() and similar "result" macros to ensure that
+ they consistently use corresponding "test" macros such as WIFEXITED() -TD
+* add a null-pointer check in GridText.c to cover a problem with
+ http://209.1.58.86/store/
+ (reported by Walter Ian Kaye) -TD
+* add some more CTRACE's to LYCookie.c to help diagnose LV problem report -TD
+* updated nl.po (patch by Pieter-Paul Spiertz <pspiertz@sci.kun.nl>) -JES
+* new (cs.po, hu.po, tr.po) and updated (da.po, et.po, it.po, ru.po, sv.po) po
+ files from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/, used msgmerge
+ to align with 2.8.4's lynx.pot and corrected some minor issues highlighted by
+ check_po. Checking for a newer version of check_po (to handle patterns
+ such as "%1$s") found none, but noticed a comment in gettext mailing list
+ stating that msgfmt does checking. Comparing with "msgfmt -c -v", found
+ that it does useful checks, but misses about 1/4 of what check_po finds.
+ Will use both -TD
+* escape blanks and other non-7bit graphic characters in startfile and similar
+ addresses to guard against interpreting the address as multiple lines
+ during a GET, etc (report by Ulf Harnhammar <ulfh@Update.UU.SE>) -TD
+
+2002-05-28 (2.8.5dev.8)
+* updated makelynx.bat (Victor Schneider).
+* recognize charset value in meta description even if content-type is not
+ given, in LYHandleMETA() -VH
+* remove ifdef that disabled home/end keys with Cygwin configuration -DK
+* fix a problem when whereis target string, which includes Japanese and is top
+ of the second line in the link string, is in the current link (patch by
+ Hataguchi Takeshi).
+* fix a problem with highlighting Japanese string (patch by Hataguchi Takeshi).
+* modify LYDownload() to ensure that local addresses under DJGPP using the
+ special form of path beginning "/dev/" are passed to external programs
+ without stripping the initial slash from the path. This special form of path
+ will be understood only by other DJGPP programs. Addresses of the form
+ "/dev/x/" are equivalent to the DOS path "x:\". Addresses of the form
+ "/dev/env/VARI" are equivalent to the environment variable "VARI" -DK
+* modify remove_bookmark_link() to assume that OS/2 EMX does not allow rename
+ of a file overwriting an existing one -IZ
+* recognize local .php files as HTML files (patch by Karl Eichwalder
+ <ke@suse.de>).
+* change LYCurses.c to not redefine gettext(), and use ScreenClear() instead
+ of clrscr() for DJGPP -DK
+* the DJGPP port of Lynx once used to compile with DJ Delorie's tcp/ip library.
+ It is no longer the case; Watt-32 is required. Changed to assume WATT32 is
+ defined when DJGPP (or __DJGPP__) is defined (patch by Gisle Vanem).
+* change LYKeycodeToString() to provide a default translation for characters
+ which are not key-symbols, etc., so they may be used in command scripts
+ with the -cmd_script option (reported by Christoph Fabianek) -TD
+* new po files (ca.po, et.po, it.po, zh_TW.po) and updated de.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/, used msgmerge to align
+ with 2.8.4's lynx.pot and corrected some minor issues highlighted by

+* simplify some loops in GridText.c using new function next_anchor() -TD
+* quote field-names used when submitting form-data as suggested in RFC 2068
+ (report by Lieven Tomme <lieven@itopia.com>) -TD
+* remove configure-check for mkstemp(), which is redundant given that lynx
+ writes temporary files in a directory which is not readable by other users.
+ On more than one system (e.g., Solaris), mkstemp() is not usable in the
+ manner we attempted, since it does not necessarily choose a distinct name if
+ the previously-chosen filename no longer exists (report/analysis by PG) -TD
+* correct a typo in configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH which told the script to
+ look for header files in the user's $HOME/lib rather than $HOME/include
+ directory -TD
+* update config.guess, config.sub -TD
+* add check for HTTP headers using Netscape extension "Refresh", and if found,
+ add a corresponding refresh-URL at the beginning of the document. Fixes
+ Debian #126723 -TD
+* strip username from URLs used in an HTTP GET, and warn about this condition.
+ The example given was
+ "http://www.microsoft.com&item%3dq209354@212.254.206.213/1338825GHU_98.asp"
+ the text of which could mislead a user into believe it was an official site
+ (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* add limit checks in HText_trimHightext() to fix an infinite loop visiting

+
+2002-01-01 (2.8.5dev.6)
+* add configure options to link with dbmalloc and dmalloc debugging libraries
+ which offer different features than --enable-find-leaks -TD
+* restructured LYhighlight() and logic related to highlighted text using new
+ functions LYSetHilite(), LYAddHilite(), LYGetHiliteStr() and LYGetHilitePos()
+ to allow more than two lines to be highlighted in links (Debian #114062) -TD
+* simplified some of LYCookie.c with new functions find_domain_entry(),
+ alloc_attr_value() and parse_attribute() -TD
+* modify expansion of %s for WIN_EX EXTERN commands so that short names (used
+ when the command begins with an uppercase character) are not quoted, and use
+ backslashes. The normal %s expansion uses forward slashes and may quote the
+ name if it contains a blank -TD
+* modify local directory sort by type to ignore leading '.' characters when
+ looking for filetype -TD
+* modify logic of HTDirEntry() to avoid storing a trailing backslash (DOS-style
+ path separator) in the anchor URL for local directory entries (from report
+ by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
+* amend change in 2.8.5dev.2 to HTLoadHTTP() to omit "Accept-Encoding: gzip"
+ ensuring that also -source or -dump option is used. Retesting excite.com
+ shows that it no longer matters, since the page was replaced by a short
+ javascript which is not sent compressed (request by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
+* correct a missing definition for COMPRESS_PROG in the configure script
+ introduced by 2.8.5dev.5 changes (also noted by Stepan Kasal) -TD
+* several fixes from Stepan Kasal <kasal@math.cas.cz>:
+ + remove code in LYCurses.c which checks ttytype variable for "dec-vt"
+ prefix. EWAN, a decent telnet program for M$ Windows, sets $TERM to
+ dec-vt100. This is similar to vt102 but it is not appropriate to use vt100
+ settings for it. ncurses has in its terminfo database an entry for
+ "dec-vt100|EWAN telnet's terminal"
+ The terminfo file is successfully opened when ncurses is initialised and
+ ttytype is set to the name mentioned above. After stripping "dec-" from
+ it, lynx ends up searching for
+ "/usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100|EWAN telnet's terminal"
+ which cannot cannot be found and lynx crashes.
+ + compress installed html files with the -9 option of gzip.
+ + improved install-help makefile rule
+* fix some longstanding problems with the DOS port -DK
+ + fix inability to break out of a hung nameserver lookup or hung connection
+ attempt without aborting lynx entirely. Using the WATT-32 signal handler
+ for this seems to work well. Change the default compile option for DJGPP
+ to -DIGNORE_CTRL_C, causing lynx to ignore SIGINT, so CTRL-BREAK is
+ completely disabled. With this patch CTRL-C stops current actions without
+ quitting lynx. To have a way to abort lynx when necessary, bind ALT-X to
+ SIGQUIT. (The unix default of CTRL-\ is not bound to the same scan code on
+ different international keyboards, while ALT-X is familiar to DOS users for
+ existing programs). Because the WATT-32 signal handler was not available
+ to external programs, a patch to WATT-32 is necessary for the new lynx code
+ to work. The patch for WATT-32 is shown in the INSTALLATION documentation.
+ + added some fixes for "/" vs "\" handling in pathnames so that non-DJGPP
+ programs will see standard DOS pathnames when called. The mailer code was
+ ignoring the environment variable SHELL when calling the mailer, leading to
+ a lack of environment space for the mailer to work -DK
+ + add calls to _eth_release() and _eth_init(), which Gisle Vanem says should
+ not be necessary in this part of lynx. But this seems to fix get
+ intermittent hung nameserver lookup sessions after using CTRL-C.
+* simplified a loop in HTConfirmCookie() and added CTRACE's to demonstrate that
+ this is working properly (addresses Debian #119751) -TD
+* add some CTRACE's to curses screen initialization and resizing to provide
+ better diagnosis of problem reported by David Balazic
+ <david.balazic@uni-mb.si> on HP-UX 11.00) -PG

+ ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/autoconf/autoconf-2.52-20011227.patch.gz
+ (TD).
+* modify configure macros CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS to ensure
+ that the (n)curses.h header file is actually found, in case someone tries to
+ build lynx without having installed the development files (based on anonymous
+ posting on comp.os.linux.networking newsgroup) -TD

+
+2001-11-18 (2.8.5dev.5)
+* modify prompt for file- or directory-name in rename/move operation to provide
+ a default based on the selected file/directory -TD
+* add -DOK_OVERRIDE to makefile.msc, to allow rename/move of files in the local
+ directory editor -TD
+* correct delay time for win32's HTAlert, etc., which was in milliseconds
+ rather than seconds -TD
+* modify check for mbstate_t in CF_WIDEC_CURSES to define HAVE_MBSTATE_T if
+ that type is found, use this ifdef in LYwaddnstr() to make that compile
+ properly on Solaris 2.6 (report by PG) -TD
+* disable SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT ifdef for EBCDIC (i.e., NOT_ASCII) -PG
+* collect names of lynx.cfg and .lynxrc variables into LYrcFile.h, to simplify
+ checks for matching spelling, e.g., against the values used in
+ LYOptions.c -TD
+* modify dired support to allow sorting by a variety of things in addition to
+ the existing sort into files versus directories. This is saved in ~/lynxrc
+ as dir_sort_order -TD
+* if --disable-full-paths is specified, do not use full path for SYSTEM_MAIL
+ (report by IZ) -TD
+* modify configure script to reduce the number of xxx_PATH definitions compiled
+ into the code if --disable-dired was specified. Change configure script so
+ that dired support for chmod, copy, mkdir, and touch to use built-in
+ functions rather than external programs -TD
+* modify configure script tests for program pathnames so that if full pathnames
+ are specified and the program is not found, no corresponding xxx_PATH symbol
+ is defined -TD
+* eliminate duplicate LYGetEnum() in LYrcFile.c, using the variant from
+ LYReadCFG.c which allows abbreviations -TD
+* change handling of tagsoup option in LYrcFile.c to invoke the corresponding
+ HTSwitchDTD() function, so saved tagsoup initializes properly from ~/.lynxrc
+ (report by Michel Such) -TD
+* modify some tag-names in LYOptions.c to correspond to the names used in

+2001-11-08 (2.8.5dev.4)
+* if file-upload code is configured, suppress message that indicates it is not
+ implemented, i.e., "[FILE Input] (not implemented)" -TD
+* modify file-upload submission to send plain text if the file is entirely
+ printable text. Mime encoding is needed if the file contains nulls, etc.,
+ but reportedly may confuse some hosts -TD
+* suppress "charset=" clause on form submission if it is iso-8859-1 -TD
+* move case for F_FILE_TYPE in HText_SubmitForm() to obtain original behavior
+ of fallthrough for F_SUBMIT_TYPE, F_TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE, F_IMAGE_SUBMIT_TYPE to
+ translate their character set, etc. (report by KW) -TD
+* revert 2.8.4dev.21 change to avoid truncating cookie path in LYSetCookie().
+ The server that wouldn't work with the current lynx behavior is
+ identified as "Oracle_Web_Listener/4.0.8.2.3EnterpriseEdition" -DK
+* modify LYLegitimizeHREF() change from 2.8.4dev.21 to eliminate newlines from
+ the HREF rather than converting them to spaces. This fixes a problem with
+ www.ebay.com which splits up HREFs with newlines. Changing the newlines to
+ spaces made the HREF no longer match, e.g., when it was built up from
+ a CGI script (report by Morten Bo Johansen) -TD
+* add two test files for testing UTF-8, based on Markus Kuhn's demos
+ (quickbrown.html and utf-8-demo.html). These work with ncurses 20011103
+ patch, for wide-characters except for combining characters (more work is
+ needed in ncurses). Tested with XFree86 xterm (patch #163) -TD
+* modify select_multi_bookmarks() check for interrupt character to limit it to
+ "hard" interrupt characters such as ^G. This fixes a case where "z" would
+ have been treated as an interrupt character in advanced multibookmark mode
+ (reports by Michael Warner, HN, as well as Debian #111463) -TD
+* modify SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT logic in LYUpperCase() and LYLowerCase() to
+ check for a null character following an upper-128 code. This is more likely
+ to occur in EBCDIC, though the multibyte strings should not have a null at
+ this position in any case (report by PG) -TD
+* for wide-character curses configuration, do not force repainting at the end
+ of display_page() -TD
+* modify configure test for mkstemp() to check if that function returns
+ distinct values (report by Fr3dY indicates that AmigaOS has a broken version
+ of mkstemp() which always returns the same value) -TD
+* modify LYwaddstr() to use wide-character curses functions to make UTF-8
+ output work without relying upon side-effects of narrow-character functions.
+ Note that this relies on the user having set a UTF-8 locale, e.g.,
+ en_US.UTF-8 -TD
+* modify HText_appendCharacter() to not use utfxtra_on_this_line when compiling
+ with WIDEC_CURSES, since the curses library already does this adjustment -TD
+* correct the following names in LYrcFile.c which were added to allow
+ ENABLE_LYNXRC lines in lynx.cfg to enable them to be saved in ~/.lynxrc
+ old new where-used

+* for CJK configuration, force clearing/repainting in HTUserMsg() (patch by
+ Hataguchi Takeshi)
+* make HTInfoMsg() sleep condition consistent with other messages by using
+ LYSleepInfo() -TD
+* reduce clutter with new function utf8_length() -TD
+* replace !isascii(ch) with new macro is8bits(ch), to reduce clutter, fix some
+ sign-extensions and make it more portable -TD
+* change some of the "#if" statements to "#ifdef", to work around broken
+ versions (2.96, 3.0.1) of gcc distributed with Mandrake 8.1 (though
+ reportedly this is due to Redhat): the -C option passes through comments as
+ usual, but some comments expand on preprocessor lines, which causes the
+ preprocessor to report an expression error. This prevented "make
+ install-help" from running, though the -C option is not needed for that.
+ However, lacking a working -C option makes the C preprocessor useless for
+ analyzing bugs -TD
+* modify configure script to accept --with-screen=ncursesw, to build with the
+ wide-character version of ncurses -TD
+* modify configure script to look for mkdtemp(), to quiet another bogus linker
+ message -TD
+
+2001-10-06 (2.8.5dev.3)
+* add CF_MKSTEMP configure macro, from vile, to check for a working mkstemp().
+ This will quiet some bogus warning messages in recent runtime support, but
+ (see 2.8.3) does not affect the security of temporary files in lynx -TD
+* updated CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro, from vile, to handle leading "\\" in
+ a win32 pathname -TD
+* for configurations that provide scrollbar, add a checkbox to the Options menu
+ to enable or disable it -TD
+* modify LYGetHostByName() in HTTCP.c to use the threaded _WINDOWS_NSL code for
+ all Cygwin machines. The ability to interrupt nameserver lookup has not
+ worked in Win98 using the Cygwin port, despite defining _WINDOWS_NSL. It
+ looks like the threaded code was only for WinNT. At least under Cygwin, that
+ code also seems to work fine under Win98 -DK
+* add FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED as a possible value for DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE in
+ lynx.cfg as well as keypad_mode in .lynxrc -TD
+* add NUMBER_FIELDS_ON_LEFT and NUMBER_LINKS_ON_LEFT to lynx.cfg, use these to
+ control where field- and link-numbering is placed. Caveat: there are some
+ cases where fields that do popup's are truncated, e.g., in the Options menu,
+ when right-alignment is used -TD
+* support for DJGPP's two forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and
+ /dev/[a-zA-z]/ -DK
+* add samples/lynxdump script, to illustrate how to use lynx -dump with no
+ link references (prompted by discussion with LV) -TD
+* add samples/keepviewer script, to illustrate how to retain a temporary file
+ for use in an external viewer -TD
+* add ifdef's in is_url() to avoid recognizing URLs if they are disabled in the
+ given configuration, i.e., bibp, finger, ftp, gopher, news (report by
+ Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* modify LYrefresh() to take into account whether a popup window exists, so
+ that a search prompt will not overwrite a popup. This bug was introduced by
+ the curses pads (reported by Felicia Neff <neff@panix.com> and Fr3dY
+ <fr3dy@retemail.es>) -TD
+* add note in keystroke_help.html about CTRL-V as literal-next (lnext) for
+ users who are unfamiliar with stty -TD
+* add NcFTP-style ftp-URLs which are supported by Netscape and wget (request
+ by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
+* add traces in LYReadCFG.c and LYrcFile.c to report lines which are not found
+ in the symbol table, to help diagnose when a user adds lynx.cfg information
+ to .lynxrc -TD
+* define additional -trace-mask option, 8=config -TD
+* modify LYtouchline() to avoid using wredrawln() for ncurses, since the
+ LYwin variable may be a pad much wider than the screen, which is not handled
+ properly (report by Karl Eichwalder <keichwa@gmx.net>) -TD
+* correct beginning of configure script, which was supposed to remove
+ config.cache, but did not, due to a misplaced line when it was added
+ 1998-06-04 (prompted by a report by Fr3dY <fr3dy@retemail.es> that the
+ checks for srand/rand did not work) -TD
+
+2001-08-15 (2.8.5dev.2)
+* several small fixes to HTFile.c to make directory listings work properly on
+ win32, e.g., stat'ing a directory with a trailing slash fails (reported by
+ Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
+* adjust definitions in LYCurses.h to get rid of slang-ifdef's for getyx() and
+ wmove() -TD
+* change order of srandom/random versus srand48/lrand48 -DK
+* patch to get the DJGPP port to use the configure script -DK
+ It seems to work well in the variations I have tried, including both PDCurses
+ and SLang. revised INSTALLATION for DOS, giving a URL for my DOS patch to
+ openssl. I dropped the reference to goto URL of the form
+ file:///dev/c/path/filename, since this only works in certain parts of lynx
+ (such as lynx.cfg). I'll try to get this working in the future. In fixing
+ makefile.in, I patched the sed script for converting the path to docdir. As
+ far as I can tell, however, from my examination of lynx.cfg, this isn't used
+ for any platform. Does this part of the sed script do anything?
+ Things still needing fixing for DOS:
+ + support for both forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and
+ /dev/[a-zA-z]/.
+ + support for gzipped help files. This works with long file names in a DOS
+ box under Windows, but not in plain DOS, which doesn't allow double
+ extensions.
+ + better handling of local files in root directory. "file:///c:/" takes a
+ long time to work, but "file:///c:/." works fine. I haven't really looked
+ to see why.
+ + no ability to break out of hung nameserver lookups or http requests without
+ closing lynx with SIGINT. This is the biggest complaint I get by email.
+* modify ifdef for myGetChar() in LYStrings.c to build with PDCurses 2.3 e.g.,
+ to use a version which is modified for Japanese input (patch by Hataguchi
+ Takeshi)
+* review LYSafeGets() calls, stripping newlines from a few places where they
+ were overlooked, and simplifying some places where LYSafeGets() would
+ normally return a buffer ended with a newline (prompted by a report by Brian
+ S Queen <bqueen@nas.nasa.gov> for LYTraversal.c) -TD
+* correct reallocation-size in ProcessMailcapEntry() -TD
+* modify HTLoadHTTP() to omit "Accept-Encoding: gzip" if command-line "-base"
+ option is given. This makes
+ lynx -base -source excite.com
+ work as expected. Otherwise, excite.com will transmit the document gzip'd,
+ and the ensuing logic in HTSaveToFile() would see the mime-type as gzip
+ rather than text/html, and not prepend the base URL (report by Kai Shih
+ <kai@mit.edu>) -TD
+* work around defect in move_anchors_in_region() and related logic by changing
+ default for nested-tables to FALSE when Lynx is not configured for
+ color-style. The problem is that when an anchor is shifted right by
+ nested-table logic, if it has a <BR> near the beginning of a table cell and
+ it happens to be split across a line, its size will not be adjusted properly
+ (report by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
+* correct logic used for trimming TEXTAREA introduced in 2.8.4pre.3, which did
+ not trim carriage-return characters if TRIM_INPUT_FIELDS was false.
+ (report by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
+* correct a bug in search logic which happens with pages shorter than the
+ screen, due to improper starting-line value sent to search function. Fixed
+ by adding checks in www_search_backward() and www_search_foreward(), (report
+ by -Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+
+2001-07-24 (2.8.5dev.1)
+* modify GetChar() definition for PDCurses to ignore key-modifiers which are
+ passed back from getch() as if they were key codes. Those interfere with
+ shifted commands such as 'Q' -TD
+* modify parse_style() function to operate on a copy of its parameter, to avoid
+ changing it. Otherwise, when parse_style() is executed as a side effect of
+ start_curses(), its data is modified and not valid on successive calls.
+ This bug existed prior to 2.8.4dev.17 -TD
+* set return value of edit_current_file() to true if the file is edited. This
+ forces a reload for example if one edits the current html file, and is needed
+ to make PDCurses repaint the screen as well (report by Victor Schneider,
+ bug introduced in 2.8.4dev.21) -TD
+* add ifdef for wresize() to accommodate FreeBSD 3.x which has resizeterm() but
+ not wresize(). Also, use a 'long' rather than 'attr_t'. These changes are
+ needed to build with the 1.8.6ache patches to ncurses (report by Matt
+ <matt@greenviolet.net>) -TD
+
+2001-07-17 (2.8.4rel.1)
+* remove comment in README.ssl directing people to
+ http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/, since that page is moot with 2.8.4 -DK
+* add an ifdef in CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro to avoid confusing ncurses'
+ term.h with other versions -TD
+* update URL for zlib -Frederic L W Meunier
+
+2001-07-14 (2.8.4pre.5)
+* document CHARSETS_DIRECTORY and CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES in lynx.cfg -IZ
+* add a fallback in _Switch_Display_Charset() if no CHARSETS_DIRECTORY was
+ specified -IZ
+* ensure that config variable names in LYReadCFG.c are in alphabetic order,
+ though only the first character matters (report by IZ) -TD
+* updated notes on DOS in INSTALLATION -DK
+* modify ifdef in HTTP.c to build with configure --with-ssl --disable-news
+ (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+
+2001-07-10 (2.8.4pre.4)
+* correct red/blue color swapping for PDCurses when built on Unix, which uses
+ X11 -TD
+* correct order of checks for wrapping in www_search_forward() and
+ www_search_backward(), which would allow an infinite loop if there were no
+ anchors on the current page (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
+* add a missing chunk to reverted change of SGML_character() -NSH
+ <nsh@horae.dti.ne.jp>
+
+2001-07-07 (2.8.4pre.3)
+* review/add descriptions of new command-line options in lynx.man, lynx.hlp and
+ Lynx_users_guide.html -TD
+* update da.po, ja.po, ru.po, sv.po from
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
+ (report by JES) -TD
+* add command-line option -curses-pads which can be used to disable the
+ left/right scrolling logic. This is used for testing, e.g., the repaint
+ bug reported below -TD
+* remove logic in lynx_force_repaint() which reset the window background, since
+ it does not work with the logic used to implement left/right scrolling.
+ Retested older versions of ncurses and did not find a case where this was
+ needed after all (report by IZ) -TD
+* revert dev.21 change to SGML_character() S_equals case, which has undesirable
+ side effects regarding spacing around '=' (report by
+ <nsh@horae.dti.ne.jp>) -TD
+* define additional -trace-mask option, 1=SGML -TD
+* add -trim_input_fields command-line option and corresponding
+ TRIM_INPUT_FIELDS to lynx.cfg to suppress trimming of TEXT and TEXTAREA
+ fields in forms. This does not retain trailing blank lines in a TEXTAREA;
+ more work would be needed to do that (reported by VH, most browsers appear to
+ retain trailing blanks) -TD
+* modify parsing of "<script>...</script>" to allow "<!-- ... -->" comments
+ in SGML_character(). Though the HTML 4.0 spec is fairly clear, other
+ browsers (and some webpages) assume that "</" does not have to be escaped
+ when it appears in a script which is commented to avoid confusion with older
+ browsers. This change doesn't ensure that the comment is at the beginning
+ of a line, since that's awkward to do with SGML_character(), and also leaves
+ the script in a comment which works for lynx since lynx does not interpret
+ it anyway -TD
+* remove redundant enum identifiers in typedefs -TD
+* modify parse_attributes() in LYStyle.c to allow video attributes such as bold
+ and reverse to be combined with colors, used this to debug problem with
+ <script> and comment -TD
+* improve logic for nested-tables to handle cases such as www.tin.org -IZ
+ TRST ignores the horizontal alignment *inside* a multi-line cell of a table.
+ This limitation, in conjunction with the nested-tables modifications does not
+ work well when text with a horizontal alignment (e.g., <ul>) is put in a
+ table cell. This patch introduces a *limited* logic to take this info into
+ account. It should work OK as far as the last non-empty line of the cell is
+ ended by a "line-end" command, not by a </td> (this is often the case with
+ contents using horizontal formatting).
+* updated URLs for ncurses (report by DK) -TD
+* updated samples/bright-blue.lss -IZ
+* make definition of $(SHELL) in makefile.in's consistent, in terms of
+ CONFIG_SHELL, since the configure script no longer uses 'include', and
+ this creates some problem with nonstandard shells (report by IZ) -TD
+* update/extend lists in lynx_help_main.html -Frederic L W Meunier
+* add note about lynx.cfg mouse and color configuration to user's guide -PW
+* document -cmd_log and -cmd_script options in user's guide (Michael Warner).
+
+2001-06-10 (2.8.4pre.2)
+* corrected order of parameters of is_prefix() function in the
+ scan_cookie_sublist() function, broken in dev.21 changes (report by Ken Scott
+ <admin@shellworld.net>) -TD
+* add a fallback definition for SA_LEN(), to build with glibc 2.2 (report by
+ Mark Sutton <mes@lazo.ca>, from
+ http://cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/lynx-SA_LEN.patch?rev=1.1) -Arkadiusz

+* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to build with DJGPP -DK
+* remove include for <pdcurses.h>, use <curses.h> which is the default for
+ PDCurses - DK
+* reviewed/reverted some changes from dev.20 which changed explicit "r", "w",
+ and "a+" fopen modes to TXT_R, TXT_W and TXT_A, where they relied on the
+ default mode set via SetDefaultMode(). With DJGPP, files containing special
+ graphics such as README's might not otherwise display, for example (report by

+
+2001-06-03 (2.8.4pre.1)
+This version has been test-built on Linux (BSD curses, ncurses,

+(both Visual C++ 4.1 and 5.0 as well as Borland C++), AIX 4, HPUX 11,
+Solaris 8. Recent builds include SunOS 4.1.4 (cc and gcc,
+curses/ncurses/slang), Solaris 2.5.1 (cc and gcc,
+curses/ncurses/slang) and IRIX 6.5 (cc and gcc, curses/ncurses). Less

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

+* remove older/unused variant of code to set screen size in LYCurses.c by
+ setting environment variables -PG
+* one of the ".po" files is zipped as type binary rather than ASCII, so it does
+ not unzip on OS/390 with the "-a" option. The "-aa" works better since it
+ forces text conversion regardless of the type of the archived file -PG
+* change definitions of LYCharINTERRUPT1 and LYCharINTERRUPT2 to accommodate
+ EBCDIC -PG
+> the remainder (most of the functional changes in this patch) from IZ:
+* add "typeless" notion to color style logic:
+ a) reverts to the style "foo" (from "foo.classname") if the style
+ "foo.classname" was not configured;
+ b) For input elements of type=typename uses style
+ "input.type.typename" if this style is configured (but
+ "input.classname" is not!);
+ c) Same for typeless elements, with typename="".
+ This allows the following:
+ input.type.submit:normal:blue:black
+ # match "link":
+ input:normal:green
+ textarea:normal:white:cyan
+ # type-less input is the same as type=text (similar to textarea)
+ input.type.:normal:white:cyan
+ input.type.text:normal:white:cyan
+ If your "link" is configured as normal:green, then input elements of types
+ other than typeless, text, or submit will be shown in the same style as link.
+ The textareas and text input elements are shown in the same style (but
+ different from "link" style), and submit "buttons" are shown yet in another
+ style.
+* implement styles in "dynamic areas" of documents. Three flavors of them are
+ active text-edit fields, non-active ones, and links/radiobuttons, etc.
+ This patch is concerned with the first flavor only. Two subflavors are
+ document's text-edit areas, and Lynx's ones (such as where you input the URL
+ after `g'). Each one of them has 3 elements: scroll symbols ("arrows"),
+ after-the-end padding, and the actual input string.
+ The patch
+ a) makes styles for these 2*3 elements customizable;
+ b) uses ACS chars (if available) for the arrows (instead of `{'/`}').
+ [It would be nice to make non-active text-areas to have customizable
+ styles for padding, and have scroll arrows too...]
+ Here is my customization for testing:
+ edit.active:normal:red:cyan
+ edit.prompt:normal:green:cyan
+ edit.active.arrow:normal:yellow:cyan
+ edit.prompt.arrow:normal:yellow:gray
+ edit.active.pad:normal:gray:cyan
+ edit.prompt.pad:normal:white:black
+* modify LYSystem() to allow changing size of lynx window with OS/2 EMX
+ at runtime. Example:
+ !mode 110,30;exit
+* use new macros LYCharINTERRUPT1, LYCharINTERRUPT2 and LYCharIsINTERRUPT() to
+ make it simpler to find uses of ^C and ^G
+* modify key mappings so the keymap file overrides the terminfo/termcap
+ description rather than the reverse
+* make unrecognized keynames emit diagnostic when tracing (but ignores them the
+ same way the older code did). Trace info about each keycode received
+* provide better tracing of style choices, both when styles are assigned into
+ text-lines, and when lss directives are converted to "numeric colors"
+* add similar tracing for links and contents of user-editable stuff
+* slightly expand the cache of colors to better accommodate 16-color terminals,
+ and fixes a misprint in handling background-color == maxcolor
+* modify logic in color styles initialization using flag default_color_reset to
+ override ncurses use_default_colors() logic if the "default" color style tag
+ is found in lynx.lss
+
+2000-10-18 (2.8.4dev.11)
+* include LYLeaks.h in LYPrettySrc.c to allow leak-checking -TD
+* modify configure script macro CF_RECHECK_FUNC to ensure that we add a given
+ library only once to the resulting list. This fixes a longstanding bug which
+ caused the nsl library to be repeated on some platforms (reported by BL for
+ one of the SCO configurations, and Urs JanBen <urs@tin.org> for SINIX-L 5.41
+ (i386-sni-sysv4)) -TD
+* modify "make install-doc" rule to first remove targets. Otherwise "ln -s"
+ and "cp" fail to create the targets when installing with normal user

+* correct a typo that made configure script always define USE_EXTERNALS -TD
+* interpret ftp server type for VMS if a URL is given with "/~name", as a
+ Unix-style server. This works for the following, at least:
+ VMS V6.2 AlphaServer 2100 4/233 MadGoat System type.
+ (reported by Rick Dyson <dyson@iowasp.physics.uiowa.edu>) -TD

+* correct order of ifdef's in send_file_to_mail() which could leave unsent
+ email on some systems without popen/pclose -TD
+* add some checks in LYhandlePopupList() to prevent popup of an empty list -TD
+* change a few messages written to stderr to end lines with \r\n rather than

+* treat .Z, .gz and .bz2 suffixes more symmetrically using new function
+ HTCompressFileType() for parsing them -TD
+* change mime type for bzip2 files to bzip2, x-bzip2 -HN

+ a case with Linux libc5 which would be treated as an EOF, causing an exit -TD
+* suppress PG's endwin/newterm code for ncurses because it is not needed -TD
+* modify start_curses() function to preset environment variables $LINES and
+ $COLUMNS to make the curses library see the proper screen size. After
+ calling endwin(), delete the current SCREEN object, to force curses library
+ to discard its cached values of LINES and COLS. This requires using
+ newterm(), which may not be present in all versions of curses, so we check
+ for and ifdef accordingly. Tested on os390 and Solaris -PG
+* cleanup IPV6 ifdef's using SOCKETADDR_LEN macro -TD
+* add error checks to LYCopyFile() and other places to report problems copying

+* replaced all occurrences of 'black' with 'default' in /samples/mild-colors.lss
+ to make it more reasonable on terminals with non-black background -VH
+* modify color-style initialization to avoid passing -1's as attribute codes
+ which would happen if the lynx.lss file was not found, or if not all styles
+ were set in that file. Also if lynx.lss is not found, initialize the
+ predefined styles to match those in samples/lynx.lss -TD
+* modify handling of empty values for radio and checkbox fields to avoid
+ sending "on" as the value (reported by Janne Peltonen <jkhp@cc.hut.fi>) -KW
+* don't double backslash characters in HTQuoteParameter(), since that changes
+ the string a program invoked through system will see. Note this assumes UNIX
+ or POSIX interpretation of single-quoted strings by the shell -KW
+* implement first draft of command-completion using popup menu for selection.
+ Pressing tab twice in the prompt for command or URLs will display a sorted
+ list of the choices -TD
+* implement a simple parser for Lynx commands which are normally bound to keys
+ using KEYMAP. This is bound to ':', so you can for instance type ":quit" to
+ exit. The parser allows unique abbreviations, so ":q" is equivalent to
+ ":quit" -TD
+* consolidate/simplify logic for displaying popup menus -TD
+* rewrote tab-completion to use an HTList -TD
+* move related logic into LYSubwindow() to reduce clutter - TD
+* make $(DESTDIR) variable work for po directory -TD
+* update bundled intl directory to match gettext-0.10.35 (except for fixes to
+ build scripts) -TD
+* modify configure macro CF_CURSES_LIBS to use a different order for library
+ checks if it has found ncurses header files (i.e., they are installed as
+ /usr/include/curses.h). This is done to fix an problem where there are two
+ versions of the curses/ncurses libraries installed, and the "curses" library
+ is not ncurses (from a report by Sergei Pokrovsky <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>) -TD
+* fix for configure script from dialog: If we really do not use included intl,
+ suppress the command that would attempt to symlink the two copies of its

+* updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin -TD
+
+2000-06-23 (2.8.4dev.4)
+* modify handling to EXTERNAL settings by adding a new field in lynx.cfg. When
+ TRUE, then activating (using arrow-right for example) the link with URL
+ matching the one specified by 'prefix' field will be equal to pressing '.' on
+ it -VH
+* restore commented-out "clearok(curscr, TRUE)" in display_page() in GridText.c
+ to workaround problem repainting multibyte characters (reported by Takuya
+ ASADA <asada@isoternet.org>) -KW
+* add HIDDEN_LINK_MARKER entry to lynx.cfg, allowing user to specify string to
+ mark hidden links with (thus hidden links become non-hidden, thus they won't
+ be listed as hidden in the 'l' page) - the name of the setting is
+ hidden_link_marker. If the string to mark with is empty, then old behaviour
+ is restored -VH
+* implement "change directory" command. This is tested only on linux. It's
+ bound to 'C' in both modes (before this in normal modem COMMENT command was
+ bound to 'c' and 'C' in normal mode, and CREATE was bound to 'c' and 'C' in
+ dired mode). The main purpose of this command is not to type the name of the
+ directory when 'p'rinting to files and 'd'ownloading. If this command is
+ invoked in dired mode, the listing of destination directory will be
+ automatically loaded. Dired file operations menu lists this command too as
+ the first item. To disable it, comment the line
+ #define SUPPORT_CHDIR
+ in userdefs.h -VH
+* add definitions to allow slang configuration to implement scrollbars. This
+ will not work for any termcap/terminfo-based systems, appears specific to
+ MS-DOS (patch by Gisle Vanem)
+* updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin -TD
+* fix typo in CF_CHECK_ERRNO configure macro (reported by John Coyne
+ <John.Coyne@ctbto.org>) -TD
+* add <html> and </html> around generated HTML in HTGopher.c, LYKeymap.c,
+ LYCookie.c and LYCgi.c to make them more-correct. Did not modify
+ LYBookmark.c because the logic there relies on appending to the bookmark file
+ (report by Patrick Boylan <pboylan@island.net>) -TD
+* make pretty_html() in LYKeymap.c quote ampersand and quote, simplified logic
+ as well with LYKeycodeToString() implemented for command-logging -TD
+* add command-line options -cmd_log and -cmd_script, to provide a simple
+ command logging and scripting facility -TD
+* minor correction to -stdin option, add newline at the end of each line

+2000-06-02 (2.8.4dev.3)
+* initial support for SOURCE_CACHE_FOR_ABORTED -VH
+* change default_keypad_mode_fun() to use config_enum() -TD
+* modify config_enum() to check if the given name in lynx.cfg is ambiguous,
+ matching more than one name -TD
+* in passive ftp mode (FTP_PASSIVE:TRUE), use the IP address from the server's

+* correct bug introduced in dev.2 for leading whitespace in mailcap (reported
+ by Andrey Chernov) -VH, TD
+* change server types in HTFTP.c to an enum -TD
+* handle a "215 Windows2000" response from "SYST" command (Gisle Vanem)
+* change return value of parse_arg() when processing non-option data to make
+ URL in stdin (after '-') treated in the second pass, restoring behavior lost
+ in cleanup (reported by Gisle Vanem) -TD
+* allow blank as a separator in arg_eqs_parse() in addition to ':' and '=',
+ to restore behavior lost in cleanup of argument parsing -TD
+* make -stdin option a little more flexible by ifdef'ing primarily based on
+ ttyname(), and adding fallback definitions for Win32 and VMS -TD
+* for slang configurations past 1.3.6, call SLsmg_touch_screen() in
+ start_curses to ensure that the screen is properly initialized for noce
+ terminals -JED (John E Davis)
+* move call on lynx_initialize_keymaps() for slang configuration into the
+ start_curses() function, avoiding premature reference to $TERM, especially
+ when Lynx is running in dump mode, e.g., via cron (report by Hamish Moffatt
+ <hamish@rising.com.au>, analysis by KW) -TD
+* correct logic for ^ and $ commands (FIRST_LINK and LAST_LINK) when the
+ current line happens to be the first or last line on the screen (reported
+ by KW) -TD
+* remove unused fragments of backspace logic from print_crawl_to_fd() -TD
+* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() and print_crawl_to_fd() to refrain from emitting
+ an offset for empty lines -TD
+* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() to refrain from emitting backspaces when

+ that applies -TD
+* correct duplicate description of JUMPFILE in lynx.cfg -TD
+* refine cfg2html.pl changes to use command-line options to control the

+ by Frederick Bruckman <fb@enteract.com>) -TD
+* move logic that makes subdirectory for more-secure temporary files into
+ LYOpenTemp() where it can perform that action on demand rather than for all

+ with USE_MOUSE (and modifier when necessary) -LP
+* windows makefiles: add new symbols SOURCE_CACHE and USE_PRETTYSRC,
+ remove obsolete EXP_CHARTRANS and unused EXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH -LP
+* fixed a bug with psrcview on lss-enabled lynx. Code such as <a blah href=.>
+ (i.e. unknown attribute and then some other attribute) was causing calls to
+ PSRCSTOP(barattr) twice (and lynx was switched to "non-preformatted" mode
+ losing all white spaces of the document after that piece of code) -VH
+* add configure option --with-screen=pdcurses, mainly for checking ifdef
+ conflicts between ncurses and pdcurses. This builds/runs with the PDCurses
+ X11 library, but is not recommended for general use -TD
+* remove test-artifact in configure check for zlib.h -TD

+ (reported by PG on os390) -TD
+* further restrict tildeExpand() so it allows embedded "~" only if it follows

+* remove annoying trailing period from two statusline messages ending with host

+* add a definition USE_MKSTEMP in userdefs.h which supersedes EXP_RAND_TEMPNAME
+ for sys-admins who believe in mkstemp() -TD
+* change logic for EXP_RAND_TEMPNAME to avoid allowing fmt_tempname() to return
+ the same name during a session. Define EXP_NAME_TEMPNAME in userdefs.h -TD
+* add Last-Modified header into the printed/downloaded source, in addition to
+ the Date header (it is there for years). (Last-Modified field will not be
+ printed if it is not present, or equal to the Date header or equal to
+ "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT", a common mistake in scripts) -LP
+* defined DIRED_SUPPORT in makefile.msc -TD
+* several small fixes in LYLocal.c for dired support, mostly win32-specific -TD
+* modify PDCurses mouse logic to use BUTTON_PRESSED mask rather than

+* modify HTDirTitles() to fix a couple of cases for device-only pathnames,
+ e.g., for DOS -TD
+* modify HTDOS_name() to put a trailing '\' on the result if only a device
+ is given. Fix a memory leak in HTDOS_name() -TD
+* simplify local_dired() using new function match_op(), adding DOSPATH
+ and __EMX__ to special case of stripping a leading '/' from parameter so
+ dired mode works properly on Win32 and OS/2 EMX -TD
+* minor cleanup using new function LYformTitle() -TD
+* modify LYUCPushAssumed to push original assume_charset instead of
+ anchor_UCI->MIMEname when HTCJK is JAPANESE. If this modification isn't
+ done, Japanese strings may be mishandled when charset is not specified or
+ assumed as Japanese charset. On the other hand, if this modification IS

+ # I think it's long way to improve this completely. It rarely

+* add a configure check for the compiler option needed to find zlib.h, e.g.,
+ if it is in /usr/local/include and the compiler is not gcc -TD
+* disentangle some of the PDCurses ifdef's from ncurses, including the mouse

+* update documentation to reflect move from sol.slcc.edu to lynx.isc.org -PG
+* remove obsolete files: WWW/Copyright.txt (replaced by FreeOfCharge.html) and
+ WWW/README.txt (recommended by DK) -TD
+* clean up some of the loose ends, primarily in documentation. A Russian user
+ pointed out that the DOS binary was ignoring character 0xe0. This turned out
+ to be a bug in the PDCurses code for DOS. I modified the INSTALLATION file
+ to reflect the patch to PDCurses. Also include the file for the public
+ domain release of the CERN wwwlib code (FreeOfCharge.html). Other changes
+ fix dead links, Y2K changes, and reflect newer versions of other programs -DK
+* comment-out/disable NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL definition in userdefs.h -DK
+* change optimization level to -O1 in makefile.dos -DK
+* use macro set_errno() to hide some of the clutter in HTTCP.c as well as make
+ it simpler to build with threaded libraries -TD
+* ifdef'd out a "QUIT" command sent to the FTP server immediately after opening
+ a data connection in HTFTPLoad(), since this makes the ftp.wku.edu server
+ close the connection prematurely -TD
+* combine redundant HTMake_VMS_name() with HTVMS_name() -TD
+* review use of "%s" in sprintf, to guard against buffer overflows, modified
+ some to use HTSprintf0 or StrAllocCopy, others to use specific lengths
+ (KW noted a related problem in HTTP.c) -TD
+
+2000-02-25 (2.8.3dev.21)
+* modify check for empty news-posting to warn but allow user to override if
+ it contains nonspace characters -TD
+* add FTP_PASSIVE option to lynx.cfg, allowing installer to defer decision
+ of whether lynx uses passive ftp connection (adapted from patch by
+ Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>) -TD
+* remove duplicate definitions of HT_NON_BREAK_SPACE, HT_EN_SPACE leaving them
+ in HTFont.h -TD
+* lynx.cfg option CONNECT_TIMEOUT and commandline option "connect_timeout" were
+ added (not available for DOS port) -VH
+* don't perform submission of the content of disabled form fields -VH
+* add bindings for ^ and $ (like vi) to move the cursor to the first and last
+ link on the current line (prompted by complaint by DH that < and > used to
+ allow movement to the ends of a line) -TD
+* remove --enable-kanji option (request by TH) -TD
+* replace 3 CONV_JISX0201KANA_ISX0208KANA to CONV_JISX0201KANA_JISX0208KANA -TH
+* enable the routines to change kanji code which is used for overriding,

+* add make-msc.bat script, and update src/chrtrans/makefile.msc to add rules
+ for generating header files -TD
+
+2000-02-14 (2.8.3dev.19)
+* use HTAddParam/HTEndParam rather than HTSprintf0 for building external

+ (reported by PW) -TD
+* update placeholder po/nl.po -JES
+* add configure option --enable-kanji for defining symbols related to TH's
+ patch -TD
+* improved handling of Japanese text (patch by TH (Hataguchi Takeshi)):
+ + if Japanese document's charset is specified explicitly by the MIME tag or
+ HTTP responses, Lynx will assume the charset as that value.
+ + change the Japanese charset detection strategy when charset is not
+ specified explicitly.
+ + wrap a long text which includes only CJK characters in source mode.
+ + avoid writing CJK characters at the 80th column.
+ + improve kanji code override routine
+ # My change seems to have broken this
+ + change the phrase "half width kana" to "JIS x0201 Kana" in comments.
+ # The latter has been used originally.
+ + enable assume_charset when display charset and assume charset
+ are Japanese. assume_charset acts like charset by META tag
+ only when charset isn't specified by META nor HTTP responses.
+ + change the behavior of the option menu.
+ For example, when display charset is Japanese (EUC-JP) and
+ CJK mode is on, changing assume_charset from iso-8859-1 to
+ shift_jis using the option menu,
+ old behavior:
+ assume_charset won't be changed.
+ CJK mode will turn off.
+ new behavior:
+ assume_charset will be changed to shift_jis
+ CJK mode won't be changed.
+ + improve handling Japanese in Visited Links Page, History Page
+ and pages with FORM.
+ New macros are:
+ USE_TH_JP_AUTO_DETECT
+ enable (2)
+ CONV_JISX0201KANA_JISX0208KANA
+ convert JIS X0201 Kana to JIS X0208 Kana,
+ i.e. convert half width kana to full width.
+ I've not tested the case not to define this well.
+ KANJI_CODE_OVERRIDE
+ enable kanji code override routine.
+ The code can be changed by ^L.
+ More precisely, this enables us to change the assumption kanji
+ code for the document. This assumption overrides the charset
+ by META tag and HTTP responses.
+* ensure lynx_doc is writable when doing install, since it is not necessarily
+ done as root -TD
+* simplify/correct ifdef'ing in reply_by_mail() -TD
+* add ifdef CANNOT_PIPE_MAIL to simplify ifdef'ing for systems having mailers

+ blat mail program -TD
+* correct ifdef'ing in mailform() for Unix (report by LV, analysis by KW) -TD
+* tweak lynx.cfg for better cfg2html.pl output -LP
+* fix DOS makefiles for recent renaming USE_PSRC -> USE_PRETTYSRC.
+ Also, change optimization flag to -O1: having experience with slow
+ 386 machine I see no visible difference in speed at run time, but this
+ makes compilation much faster and takes less memory. Tweak INSTALLATION
+ file accordingly -LP
+* ifdef'd feature for generating random temporary filenames with
+ EXP_RAND_TEMPNAME -TD
+* remove duplicate S_xxx definitions from LYLocal.h, already in www_tcp.h -TD
+* add note about building with Visual C++ -TD
+* ifdef'd reference to current_codepage in LYCurses.c with PDCURSES_EXP
+ rather than PDCURSES, since this variable is not found in any release
+ version of PDCurses -TD
+* several small fixes/adjustments to reduce warnings from lint-like program
+ 'antic' -TD
+* fixes to compile on VMS with UCX -TD
+* change LYRemoveTemp() to return a value, needed for VMS -TD
+* rename intl/po2tbl.sed.in to intl/po2tbl.sed_in, to allow unzip on VMS -TD

+
+2000-01-06 (2.8.3dev.18)
+* correction to LYCookieSavefile so tilde expansion is done (reported by Larry
+ Virden) -BJP
+* now it's guaranteed that LY_SOFT_NEWLINE could be only 0th character in
+ line->data (it could be preceded by LY_*_START_CHAR). Bug that caused
+ empty lines to disappear when printing files was fixed -VH
+* comments are now correctly converted to display charset in prettysrc mode -VH
+* fix "Please see" array initialization in cfg2html.pl (reported by VH, LP) -TD
+* small userdefs.h typo fixed -VH
+* added lynx.cfg setting that controls justification - maximum value for
+ ratio of 'spaces to spread'/'max width of a line' when justification can
+ take place -VH
+* change "PSRC" to "PRETTYSRC" in configuration (suggested by KW) -TD
+* combine a dozen of HTMLSRC_ lynx.cfg settings into PSRCSPEC setting. Old
+ "HTMLSRC_foo:bar1:bar2" should be written as "PSRCSPEC:foo:bar1:bar2" -VH
+* use assume_default_colors() extension from upcoming ncurses 5.1 and related
+ support to provide more flexible coloring. If the user's configuration files
+ do not specify "default", the default-color support is suppressed, and the
+ displayed colors default to white/black. The original behavior matches
+ SVr4 curses, which assumes the default colors of the screen but does not
+ ensure that they match the assumption -TD
+* modify LYsetXDisplay() to permit $DISPLAY to have an empty value, and reuse
+ logic in forms-options from menu-options as validate_x_display() and
+ summarize_x_display(). The forms-options will not display a warning since it
+ exits too early, but at least one may now reset $DISPLAY to an empty string
+ (reported by KW) -TD
+* add note in INSTALLATION pointing to aclocal.m4 for details of regenerating
+ configure script -TD
+* add stub "po" gettext for Czech language, update other stubs -JES
+* undo dev.16 change to print_wwwfile_to_fd() logic for LY_SOFT_NEWLINE which
+ resulted in dropping blank lines from printed files -TD
+* make off by one correction in HTDisplayPartial line counting (as discussed
+ with LP) -KW
+* one invalid memory free (only reached in some (rare?) error case), two
+ memory leaks removed in LYLocal.c -KW
+* date calculations for file times in FTP directory listings used cached values
+ for the current day and year that never got reset. This could cause wrong
+ ordering when sorting by date, and possibly other errors, especially in
+ long-running lynx sessions. Now recalculate them for each new directory
+ request if they are needed -KW
+* be slightly more tolerant about FTP directory listing file times that appear
+ to lie in the future: allow today plus one day without assuming that it must
+ mean a year ago, to account for possible timezone differences -KW
+* add comment to reload_read_cfg() listing things that are/aren't done -LP
+* minor lynx.cfg corections for better cfg2html.pl output -LP
+* restore 'from_source_cache' PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c, add comments -LP
+* amend dev.16 feature for generating random temporary filenames to ensure that
+ Lynx does not currently have the generated name open as a temporary file -TD
+
+1999-12-15 (2.8.3dev.17)
+* add a caution to jumpsUnix.html -PW
+* ifdef LYEditKeyForAction() to compile when EXP_ALT_BINDINGS is not defined
+ (reported by VH) -TD
+* add 3-valued DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE to lynx.cfg -TD
+* revert DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE to NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS (consensus) -TD
+* add COOKIE_SAVE_FILE lynx.cfg and corresponding command-line option, default

+* remove from_source_cache_p parameters in LYMainLoop.c (request by LP) -TD
+* documentation updates covering the Options Menu & other changes omitted
+ previously -PW
+* small correction in TRSTable.c: One of my previous changes for TRST broke
+ inheritance of alignment for cell contents from TR elements -KW
+* new functions for keeping track of temp files (and some other files) for user
+ interface pages: LYRegisterUIPage(), LYIsUIPage(). Most checks that look at
+ the loaded document's title have been replaced by this mechanism. This also
+ replaces various mechanism that were implemented for some specific pages -KW
+* also replaced some more checks that looked at the document's title by checks
+ of the address, for pages that are always identified by a special URL scheme
+ (LYNXCOOKIE:, LYNXKEYMAP:, LYNXMESSAGES:) -KW
+* now check directly in postoptions() whether the loaded document is one from
+ which submission of option changes can be accepted, using the new tracking
+ mechanism. Only the form-based Options Menu and Visited Links are allowed.
+ Relying on a good random generator to prevent spoofing is not necessary.
+ Kept the secure_string check, but it should be only regarded as an aid to the
+ user, it prevents changing options from an instance of the form-based Options
+ Menu that is not the most recent one (this can happen if an Options Menu page
+ is pushed on the history stack and later returned to) -KW
+* honor REUSE_TEMPFILES for some more user interface pages -KW
+* prevent an obscure LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU crash -KW
+* other minor additions and corrections to checks for special pages -KW
+* changed INSTALLATION text for --enable-internal-links -KW, HN
+* changes to build dev16 with color styles on DJGPP/PDCurses 2.3
+ (you must uncomment a line in makefiles to build lynx that way) -LP
+* correct a missing check in HTML.c HTML_A case against force_empty_hrefless_a
+ (reported by KW) -VH
+* changed lines -> disp_lines, cols -> disp_cols in GridText.c -KW
+* don't reparse with SOURCE_CACHE if screen size changed only
+ vertically (disp_lines). Also don't reparse unnecessarily in
+ some cases of LYK_MINIMAL -KW
+* don't append (HEAD) to title for INFO screen if already present -KW
+* set newdoc.title to curdoc.title in LYMainLoop.c for SOURCE command.
+ Otherwise INFO could show the wrong document's title -KW
+* made global from_source_cache PRIVATE to mainloop -KW
+* reset DIRED_MENU item list when lynx.cfg is reloaded -KW
+* new lynx.cfg option AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS for Dired mode, see lynx.cfg -KW
+* prevent file descriptor and inode leak in HTFWriter.c that occurred if
+ the same resource is repeatedly downloaded (for 'd' or for passing to
+ a viewer) -KW
+* corrected logic for suppressing last HTDisplayPartial call at end of file,
+ after discussion with LP -KW
+* corrected line counting in HTDisplayPartial, taking into account offsets used
+ for the various variables being compared -KW
+* added confirmation prompt for reloading non-safe post_data documents in
+ form-based Options Menu change handling. Before this change, the prompt
+ would be issued after returning to mainloop() instead, with different
+ behavior if confirmation was denied: The document would be popped instead of
+ keeping the current instance -KW
+* function confirm_post_resub made PUBLIC and moved to HTAlert.c. New function
+ srcmode_for_next_retrieval in LYGetFile.c. Both used for the above and in
+ LYMainLoop.c -KW
+* fixed behavior for various post_data confirmation prompts in connection with
+ SOURCE_CACHE in LYMainLoop.c. Before this change, the user would be prompted
+ to confirm reloading, yet on confirmation reparsing from the source cache
+ would be attempted. So prompts were unnecessary and misleading -KW
+* try to handle some failures of errors in source cache reparsing better. Try
+ to make sure that unsafe post_data documents don't get reloaded accidentally
+ without confirmation if source cache reparsing fails. Treat partial data
+ (i.e. loading from source cache probably 'z'apped by user) as successful, as
+ HTLoadDocument does. (Various error conditions are currently only passed on
+ to the caller by HTParseFile, not by HTParseMem. I left this apparent design
+ decision unchanged.) -KW
+* source cache reparsing did not rewrite a previous cache copy when the
+ document was reloaded from the net. This means that e.g. NOCACHE or RELOAD
+ would force reloading from the network, but then on the next non-forced
+ loading of the document (e.g. by toggling to SOURCE view) the old (and
+ possibly stale) copy would again be used. Now the newer copy replaces the
+ old copy if loading is successful (and not interrupted or aborted with 'z').
+ (Note that RELOAD while in source view, at least in the normal one without
+ -preparsed or -prettysrc, does not have this effect since the document does
+ not get pushed through the cache writer at all in that case.) -KW
+* if a source cache copy for a document exists, we need a way to ensure that
+ reparsing from that copy does not try to rewrite that same copy "under our
+ feet" while still reading from it. Previously that was done by just never
+ rewriting an existing source cache. After changing that (see previous item),
+ a different approach is needed to prevent such collisions. This is now
+ solved in two ways: (a) Base a temporary new file or memory chunk for
+ writing, and only commit it to the doc's ParentAnchor object (replacing the
+ previous copy) at the end of the incoming data stream. This is done in
+ CacheThru_free(), but not in CacheThru_abort(), meaning that an interrupted
+ or otherwise aborted transmission will not replace an existing cached copy
+ with a truncated now version - as long as such interruption gets detected and
+ properly indicated, which is not the case for reading from the source cache
+ with SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY in effect, see above. (b) Change the
+ HTParentAnchor's protocol field to indicate a non-HTTP protocol, before
+ starting to load from source cache in HTreparse_document(). Normally, as
+ long as DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is not defined, this prevents the cache writer
+ from (re)generating a cache copy. Mechanism (b) isn't necessary (everything
+ still works when DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is defined), it just avoids unnecessary
+ work -KW
+* source cache files and chunks were not always being removed when they should,
+ probably since change of 1999-06-18. A large number of cache copies could be
+ kept around unnecessarily wasting disk or memory space. Now make sure that
+ the source cache copy gets removed when a document is removed from the cache
+ of rendered docs. They would never be reused anyway. New function
+ HTAnchor_clearSourceCache. Note to other developers: HTAnchor_delete()
+ doesn't always remove the HTParentAnchor object, see its implementation -KW
+* detect errors during appending to the cache copy. Previously, memory
+ allocation errors (for SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY) would cause program exit, and
+ file write errors (SOURCE_CACHE:FILE, e.g. if the temp disk space was full)
+ would go undetected and leave the cache file corrupt or truncated. Now allow
+ the program to continue normally, just cancel the source cache generation for
+ the current document (which may free up enough memory or disk space to remedy
+ the immediate problem). Produce an alert message. In the case of a file
+ error, produce the alert only once until a possibly re-reading of lynx.cfg,
+ since Lynx should remain otherwise functional in the face of cache file
+ writing errors -KW
+* extended HTChunk: added a variant for which memory allocation errors
+ are not fatal. Used for changes described in previous item -KW
+* don't write raw escape sequences to trace output for lynx-keymaps if
+ not using trace log file -KW
+* protect echo() in stop_curses, it could crash if stop_curses gets called
+ without preceding start_curses -KW
+* save size for regular files in anchor structure (we do the stat() anyway).
+ It shows up on INFO page as Content-Length. Also use it in partial display
+ mode to prevent the last call to HTDisplayPartial from HTFileCopy, since a
+ call to HText_pageDisplay will follow immediately. (But note that nothing
+ important depends on the correct size; should it be wrong, we lose at most
+ one partial display screen update. An equivalent suppression of the last
+ partial update for network protocols is not recommended, since (a) the size
+ is more unreliable and (b) the socket FIN may be delayed by the network.) -KW
+* split HTMIME_put_character into three functions -KW
+* made HTMIME.c handle folded header lines correctly (long-standing bug,
+ reported in February by Devid Coles) -KW
+ [ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0299/msg00135.html ]
+* changed how HTTP redirection messages are handled. Don't read full message
+ and parse buffer for some header fields in HTLoadHTTP. Use common HTMIME.c
+ header parsing instead. Functions added/modified in HTMIME.c for storing
+ away the Location URL (if requested and found) and for stopping after the
+ headers. New private MIME types "message/x-http-redirection" and "www/debug"
+ to control this via HTStreamStack. Basic approach taken from newer W3C
+ libwww. Benefits:
+ - Removes actual bug that was reported: "Content-Location:" was falsely
+ recognized as "Location:". (long-standing bug)
+ [ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1199/msg00370.html ]
+ - Removes potential other bugs caused by inferior header parsing in HTTP.c
+ (including Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2).
+ - Should more header fields be needed in the future (also) for redirection
+ messages, we now get them automatically instead of having to add extra
+ code.
+ - Trace output now shows the same kind of info as for other responses.
+ In particular, Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2 header fields will normally be
+ visible.
+ - Statusline progress messages now actually show the HTTP response line
+ as intended, and it is recorded for LYNXMESSAGES:. (Long-standing error,
+ previously what was shown could be an empty string, or arbitrary parts
+ of the response, including HTML markup from the message body.)
+ - Adding redirection support for lynxcgi would now be simpler (although
+ currently not done) -KW
+* HTErrorStream(), similar to W3C libwww, used in some cases for the above -KW
+* remove check in HTParse() dated 98/09/08 which prevented unescaping of 8-bit
+ data (reported by KW) -TD
+* refresh screen for TRST changes in partial display mode as early as possible.
+ This fixes a problem when the table finished below the screen bottom -LP
+* remove global Newline_partial, use LYGetNewline() instead -LP
+* adapt idea by VH as a Perl script cfg-html.pl which generates HTML form of
+ the lynx.cfg documentation -TD
+
+1999-11-30 (2.8.3dev.16)
+* added -nozap command line option -KW
+ - In its basic form, it disables all checks for 'z' or ^G or other
+ "immediate" keys that otherwise happen while processing a request (for name
+ lookups, before or during loading of a document). Note that it also disables
+ paging through an incompletely loaded document during "partial display".
+ Normally, i.e. without this option, key input gets "swallowed" or "used up"
+ by the quasi-asynchronous checks even if they are not 'z' etc. or keys that
+ have meaning during partial display (meaningless keys just get ignored).
+ With this option, key input only gets read when lynx is ready to act on it.
+ - This can be used (a) by people who like to always have predictable
+ type-ahead (and don't care for 'z'apping and partial display scrolling), (b)
+ to achieve predictable reaction to keys if lynx is used under some scripting
+ environment that feeds it input like expect, and (c) for scripting a lynx
+ session by feeding it keyboard-like character input via input redirection
+ from a file or pipe (a simpler alternative to b, without the need for expect
+ or similar).
+ - Point (c) could be called "poor man's scripting". Note that the input has
+ to be provided in a raw form (as lynx would see it when it is actually sent
+ by keys), including raw control characters and escape sequences if necessary.
+ This patch does not change anything in the way such input is read and parsed,
+ other that what is explicitly described here. (This paragraph is only here
+ to explain the context, it does not describe new features.) P.m.s. will only
+ work as expected if lynx, on a given platform and with the display library
+ chosen, uses standard input for reading keyboard input. This is the case
+ with ncurses and possibly other curses implementations, but not with slang,
+ on Unix-like platforms, and cannot work on platforms where lynx gets keyboard
+ input in the form of platform- or implementation-specific keycodes (DOS,
+ Windows - except with Cygwin?) instead of as an octet stream.
+ - The -nozap option takes an argument. The basic functionality as already
+ described gets invoked if the argument is not a specially recognized keyword
+ (it is suggested that -nozap=full or -nozap=all be used). The only
+ recognized keyword is "initially". With -nozap=initially, additional special
+ behavior is invoked the first time (and *only* the first time) when lynx
+ encounters an error or EOF when reading key input. (Currently this will not
+ get detected if slang with USE_KEYMAPS is used.) In this, case, -nozap
+ reverts to the default state ('z' will be checked for again). Under some
+ conditions are true (key input was taken from stdin, and stdin was not
+ connected to a terminal), lynx will then attempt to reopen stdin, connecting
+ it to a terminal (stdout, stderr, and the process's controlling tty are
+ tried, in that order - this is subject to change if something would be more
+ reasonable).
+ - The -nozap=initially special behavior will get triggered if input comes
+ from a file or pipe (p.m.s. above) when the provided characters are "used
+ up". Normally lynx should then just exit. The special behavior hands
+ control of the session to the interactive user instead at that point. All
+ code for -nozap is only compiled in if preprocessor symbol MISC_EXP is
+ explicitly defined.
+* ifdef'd some places for MINGW32 (diffs from Victor Schneider)
+* remove 'host' variable in LYGetHostByName() that obscured module-level
+ 'host[]' array in HTTCP.c for _WINDOWS_NSL configuration (patch by SH,
+ discussion by KW) -TD
+* the Newline variable is now PRIVATE except the mouse code in LYStrings.c -LP
+* modify HTDOS.c for Wattcp targets (Watt-32 and original wattcp). When Lynx
+ is sitting idle in getxkey() waiting for a keypress, no network functions are
+ called. Hence no sockets are processed, "ICMP Echo replies" is sent etc.
+ This patch has been tested with SLang and '-DDJGPP_KEYHANDLER' I'm not sure
+ how to hook into 'SLkp_getkey()' or keyboard polling in performed under raw
+ PDCurses (Gisle Vanem <gvanem@eunet.no>)
+* update docs for -tna instead of --sticky_inputs -KW
+* document extended KEYMAP syntax in lynx.cfg -KW
+* update Users Guide for KEYMAP changes, especially the TEXTAREA-related
+ sections -KW
+* move text on ^V a bit to better place, provide a couple links to it -KW
+* add blurb about TRST to Users Guide. Also mention external scripts for table
+ handling -KW
+* revise section in Supported URLs on internal schemes. Toned down, provide
+ rationale, give examples -KW
+* fix a few typos in README.TRST -LP
+* use 'rand()' in NewSecureValue() -TD
+* use a random number rather than a counter to name temporary files -TD
+* change LYReadCFG.c to accept any leading punctuation in lynx.cfg as a comment
+ delimiter -TD
+* eliminate some clutter with typecalloc/typecallocn macros -TD
+* eliminate some clutter with new function LYBadHTML() -TD
+* add checks for null pointers in CTRACE statements in HTML.c (based on report
+ by LV) -TD
+* change realloc calls in SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE ifdef in StrAllocVsprintf() to
+ HTalloc, since older machines (e.g., SunOS 4.x) do not necessarily handle a
+ null pointer parameter to realloc -TD
+* correct ordering of command-line options in LYMain.c -TD
+* updates for files in lynx_help & keystrokes -PW
+* clarify `General Configuration Instructions (all ports)' in INSTALLATION -PW
+* remove "your lynx.cfg"/"compiletime settings" from '='Info Page -LP
+* add a note to Lynx_Users_Guide.html#lynx.cfg on "g lynxcfg:" -LP,HN
+* change LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: to a link from LYNXCFG: -LP
+* slightly reorganize partial mode logic: 'display_partial' variable is now
+ initialized directly in HText_new(), no need for specialized semaphore any
+ more -LP
+* Allow KEYMAP directives in lynx.cfg of extended form
+ KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:editaction[:sel], where lynxkey and lynxaction are
+ as before, editaction is a line-editor action like FORW, BACK, ERASE etc.
+ and sel selects the line-editor style to be affected (as a number, starting
+ with 1 for the Default Binding; or 0 for all styles (the default); or a
+ negative number -n meaning "all line-editor styles except n"). See Line
+ Editor Help pages for keywords to use as editaction. This includes PASS
+ (which was already implemented), for "passing" on the key when line-editing
+ form fields so that the normal lynxaction will be invoked.
+ (KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:DIRED is also still possible for defining a Dired
+ mode binding).
+ This is based on a patch from IZ which introduced combined definitions
+ in a .lynx-keymaps file in the form:
+ setkey "\200s" LAC:LEFT_LINK/BACKW # C-left
+ setkey "\200t" LAC:RIGHT_LINK/FORWW # C-right
+ Combined definitions in .lynx-keymaps are also supported in this patch, but
+ the syntax was changed to use another ':' instead of '/' as separator. Note
+ that there is no need to support .lynx-keymaps (i.e., compile with
+ USE_KEYMAPS defined) for using the extended KEYMAP lynx.cfg directive with
+ this patch -KW
+* avoid access to uninitialized members in TRSTable.c -KW
+* limit span values accepted for TRST with TRST_MAXCOLSPAN and TRST_MAXROWSPAN,
+ which can be changed in userdefs.h. Without imposing a limit, attempts to
+ trick lynx into allocating huge blocks of memory (which might cause thrashing
+ without apparent reason) with something like ROWSPAN=10000000 are just too
+ easy -KW
+* moved definition of SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE to userdefs.h. You may want to
+ undefine it for a platform where running out of memory is a frequent problem
+ (DOS?), although the effect won't be very pronounced. Used in TRST code to
+ affect size of some allocations (also used as before for
+ HTSprintf0/HTSprintf) -KW
+* implement COLSPAN=0 and ROWSPAN=0 according to HTML 4.01 (not HTML 4.0). The
+ span extends until the end of the current column group and row group (i.e.
+ next THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY), respectively; or until the end of the row or table,
+ respectively, if there is no containing group (thus acting as per HTML 4.0).
+ Also cancel effect of all ROWSPANs at a THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY boundary (problem
+ with other browser described and behavior proposed by G James Berigan in
+ <http://www.war-of-the-worlds.org/html/span-vs-group.html>) -KW
+* 'prev_target' is now PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c [defined outside of mainloop()];
+ this undoes some dev.15 changes. -LP, KW
+* replace HText_pageDisplay() calls from partial mode (LYUtils.c and
+ HTFormat.c) with LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() function implemented in
+ LYMainLoop.c, it simply calls HText_pageDisplay() but has access to
+ LYMainLoop.c PRIVATE variables. -LP, KW
+* make ^X a prefix key in all Line Edit styles. That means ^V should never be
+ needed any more to invoke the special textarea commands (but it's still
+ supported). Updates to help files to reflect this change -KW
+* don't produce a link from the KEYMAP page to a help file. The one we used to
+ use doesn't really help -KW
+* correction in code executed after textarea external editing (that determines
+ when to prompt for re-wrapping): use start_anchor not anchor_ptr. Without
+ this correction, invalid memory access could occur. (This was probably also
+ responsible for producing the prompt when it shouldn't be produced in some
+ cases, as has been reported.) -KW
+* some tweaks of Novice mode help lines: don't show wrong key "to delete all
+ text in field" (FORM_NOVICELINE_TWO); replaced an occurrence of <delete> with
+ <backspace>. In some cases (e.g., disabled fields), prefer no info to wrong
+ info -KW
+* extended KEYMAP option: additional field can specify DIRED to request
+ mapping in the Dired mode key_override table rather than the normal keymap
+ table. Documented the DIRED field and default override mapping in
+ lynx.cfg -KW
+* corrected KEYMAP display for dired mode. It could display the normal binding
+ when that wouldn't actually be used, for example if a key is bound to
+ DO_NOTHING for DIRED. The logic deciding whether to show a separate line for
+ uppercase letters was only looking at the normal keymap -KW
+* reset the edit_mode flag (indication of Dired mode) in various places, so the
+ flag doesn't stat TRUE after a new page has been loaded. For example,
+ invoking the forms based 'O'ptions page from a Dired directory view would
+ leave the Dired key bindings enabled within the Options page -KW
+* for LYNXMESSAGES: page of recent statusline messages, removed setting of the
+ LYforce_no_cache flag in getfile(). Set the flag in LYMainLoop.c instead,
+ but only for following a link. This makes the page act more like a normal
+ no-cache document, for example returning to it via PREV_DOC does not cause an
+ automatic update. The special handling in LYMainLoop.c is necessary because
+ the link to LYNXMESSAGES: appears on the History Page, and following a link
+ from the History Page (as well as some other generated user interface pages)
+ normally implies overriding of no-cache behavior which we don't want in this
+ case -KW
+* in LYNXMESSAGES: page, number recent statusline messages in historic order,
+ starting with 1 for the oldest. This should make it more obvious that they
+ are listed latest-first. Add "(No messages yet)" text if there are no
+ messages. Removed generation of invalid <pre> -KW
+* use a temporary file instead of the normal .lynxrc file for saving and
+ restoring current settings in reload_read_cfg(). This avoids unexpected side
+ effects of lynx.cfg reloading (LYNXCFG://reload action), i.e. silent
+ modification or first-time generation of .lynxrc contents. In principle this
+ should make reloading of lynx.cfg usable for accounts that don't allow saving
+ of personal settings (i.e. option_save restriction, implied by -anonymous)
+ if other restrictions don't forbid it; but currently the option_save
+ restriction is still obeyed for saving to the temporary file (so that
+ reloading of lynx.cfg is prevented) -KW
+* tweaks for LYNXCFG: and LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: pages: honor REUSE_TEMPFILES
+ setting if pages need to be regenerated, and clean up the memory for holding
+ the file URLs in free_lynx_cfg(). Recover if the tempfile has unexpectedly
+ disappeared, by regenerating it. Also regenerate tempfile if NOCACHE key
+ ('x') is used. Added extra checks before doing automatic uncaching of
+ previous page in LYNXCFG://reload code, to test whether the previous page is
+ really a LYNXCFG: view -KW
+* corrected problems with "show color" in forms Options page. Omit "ON" choice
+ if color is not possible (but saving allowed). When option_save restriction
+ was in effect, the ON/OFF initialization was wrong (resulting in unwanted
+ toggling of color each time options were changed in an anonymous account) -KW
+* tweaks of reload_read_cfg() for retaining "show color" setting and for
+ updating display_lines (user_mode may have changed) -KW
+* change for HTParse: if there is a hostname part, recognize a '?' as ending
+ it if there are no further slash characters -KW
+* tweaks in configure.in and INSTALLATION: describe correctly what
+ --disable-dired-override does. Rename --disable-dired-archive to
+ --disable-dired-dearchive. Clarified INSTALLATION text for
+ --disable-full-paths. Changed some "define" to "prevent defining" -KW
+* don't try to put cursor in last screen position for hiding in
+ show_main_statusline if -show_cursor/SHOW_CURSOR is on. The show_cursor
+ behavior may have been turned on to avoid problems with curses libs or
+ terminal types that cannot deal with it correctly. On pages with no links,
+ for example SOURCE display, this may leave the cursor at the end of the
+ statusline message if show_cursor is on. This just restores previous
+ versions' behavior in that case. On pages with links, the movement is
+ unnecessary anyway since the cursor will move again to the current link -KW
+* removed a bug in automatic textarea growing. Textarea would grow by
+ one line unnecessarily if enter was used on the last input line on a
+ screen (if that was not actually the last line in the textarea). New
+ function HText_TAHasMoreLines() to help with this -KW
+* revision of "nonsticky" behavior / options. Got rid of "sticky" terminology.
+ Renamed the controlling option to TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION and command line
+ flag -tna.
+ Compiling in of this mode can be disabled, see in userdefs.h under
+ TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION. Two versions of "Textfields Need
+ Activation" mode are provided. The default mode (simpler yet better IMO)
+ highlights an inactive selected text input fields like a current normal
+ anchor. The alternative variant (may go away later?) behaves like VH's
+ previous implementation and gets used when compiling with
+ -DINACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH.
+ Many bugs that would occur in somewhat unusual circumstances are fixed, for
+ both variants. (Action of various commands on TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields,
+ interaction with mouse selection, ...) Selecting an inactive input field with
+ the mouse will activate it. Various tweaks to make sure selecting a field in
+ this way will put the editing cursor at the right position (even if the line
+ had been scrolled / might be scrolled on entering the line editor), at least
+ with NCURSES mouse support. Also, -show_cursor now in general works as
+ expected. (In the INACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH variant, cursor may sometimes end
+ up on the statusline after error messages.) -KW
+* treat input lines of the same textarea more like one entity, as far as
+ "Textfields Need Activation" is concerned, as long as movement among those
+ lines is with PREV_LINK/UP_LINK/LPOS_PREV_LINK/NEXT_LINK/DOWN_LINK/
+ LPOS_NEXT_LINK or ACTIVATE keys (the last one only if TEXTAREA_AUTOGROW is
+ defined, for consistency with line-appending behavior). I.e. moving among
+ textarea lines with those keys automatically activates ('enters') the new
+ field for line editing if the previous one was activated -KW
+* modified statusline messages to be more appropriate and specific on non-
+ activated form fields. (The additional messages are not used or compiled
+ in if TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION isn't defined.) Avoid unnecessary
+ repainting/refreshing of the physical statusline in many cases of moving
+ among fields and links. Make sure the additional lines shown in Novice
+ mode are also appropriate -KW
+* modified line editor behavior on "disabled" form text fields: instead of
+ disabling all non-terminating edit keys, allow those that never modify the
+ field contents. The user can now scroll through a long value in a disabled
+ field with the arrow keys, rather than being stuck at the end -KW
+* the ncurses mouse popup window would overlap the statusline in Novice mode.
+ Limit the overlap to border area (so at least no significant text gets
+ corrupted) -KW
+* modified code for stickiness of the second kind (ex-STICKY_FIELDS) according
+ to preliminary proposal from Vlad. Named LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT.
+ Does not depend on any conditional compilation symbols, and is now unrelated
+ to the other kind of "stickiness" discussed above. See lynx.cfg. This isn't
+ optimal yet (LAKABOFTIF discussion etc..), but better than leaving it as it
+ was -KW
+* made default width of textarea fields (if no COLS attribute given) depend on
+ window or screen width, instead of using a fixed default of "60". I.e. for
+ wider windows make better use of available space, and for narrows windows
+ avoid wrapped textarea lines. Take the usual left/right margins (depending
+ on current block style) into account. But for -dump don't make fields longer
+ than 60 anyway (they will just show up as blocks of underscores anyway, not
+ showing text content) -KW
+* changes in code used to create new bookmark file after a bookmark has been
+ 'R'emoved. Change should only affect Unix. Basically, revert back to
+ behavior used before 2.8.1dev.8 for "normal" files (no symlinks or extra
+ hard links). I.e. use rename / maybe try "mv" instead of "cp", then change
+ permission bits explicitly. Using "cp" means running the risk of losing or
+ truncating the user's bookmark file if for example the disk became full
+ (although these occasions should be rare - the scratch file we are trying
+ to copy or rename was written just before without error, usually on the
+ same filesystem). Some more comments in LYBookmark.c. Note: if you like
+ your bookmark files, make backup copies of them anyway... -KW
+* changed F1 key bindings so it always invokes DWIMHELP, also in the Line
+ Editor (for all three Binding tables). This means that pressing F1 (if you
+ have it, and it is correctly mapped and recognized) while in a text form
+ field will now bring up the Line Editor Help Page for the currently selected
+ line edit style. Other keys bound to HELP by default ('?', 'h') remain
+ unchanged, they still always go to the main Help Page -KW
+* don't let DWIMHELP show Line Editor help for a text input field that is
+ disabled -KW
+* don't mangle a -cookie_file like /home/user/.lynx_cookies.~1~, only interpret
+ the '~' as reference to HOME if it's right at the beginning and followed by
+ '/' and then some more. There are probably other instances where '~' gets
+ mistreated (in addition to the intentional dropping of "user" from something
+ like "~user/" in file URLs etc.) -KW
+* changed type of EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT tables to LYKbLayout_t. They hold
+ Unicode values, any similarity to LYKeymap_t is just accidental -KW
+* changed EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT logic so that input characters that are
+ unrepresentable in the current display character set (unless it is UTF-8) get
+ transformed into '?' instead of some accidentally chosen 8-bit character.
+ For UTF-8, convert to UTF-8 encoding instead. Note the Line Editor isn't yet
+ UTF-8 aware; with some care it is possible to enter UTF-8 text, but the
+ display will be messed up, esp. the cursor position will be shown wrong -KW
+* some corrections for TPOS, YANK enhanced lineedit functions -KW
+* added back in a block in LYmbcsstrlen that got lost somehow -KW
+* fix an array boundary accident in GridText.c -JB
+* reiterate that LYNXCGI_LINKS is set by the configure script -PW
+* note that patches should be generated by "diff -u" -PG
+* modify HTReadProgress so that setting SHOW_KB_RATE false will let the
+ amount read be shown in bytes/sec -DK
+* modify mkdirs.sh to ignore DOS-style device -IZ
+* modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro to accept DOS-style path syntax, for
+ use in OS/2 EMX port -IZ
+* fix some memory leaks in visited-pages tree -IZ
+* correct recent change to LYEditmap.c for EBCDIC -PG
+* change 'elf32ppc' to 'elf32ppc*' in config.guess to work on MkLinux DR3
+ (reported by Christopher Conrade Zseleghovski (kkz@MIMUW.EDU.PL>) -TD
+* add check to HTConfirmDefault() to ensure that NLS form of "yes" and "no"
+ are distinct in the first character, revert to English if not -TD
+* add configure test for wredrawln, and use CF_CURSES_FUNCS -TD
+* improve CF_TERMCAP_LIBS configure test -TD
+
+1999-11-17 (2.8.3dev.15)

+ remembered without details), -KW, LP
+* ifdef bkgd() call in force_repaint that accommodated pre-ncurses 4.1 bugfix,
+ from early 1997. With current code, a ^L when a popup is displayed causes

+* new lynx.cfg option REFERER_WITH_QUERY:[SEND|PARTIAL|DROP] -KW
+* don't send Referer if we have to load a document again that we got

+* notes (VH):
+ + Seems that 'OPT' stuff doesn't contain errors. Let's enable it for several
+ releases, and then remove alternative code.
+ + Added comments about pools.
+ + Docs updated to reflect new functionality of -dont-wrap-pre
+* old psrcview bug fixed - markup was unbalanced in some situations -VH
+* content of SAMP tag made justifiable -VH
+* implemented HTStyleChange pooling - sizeof(HTStyleChange) is 4 times smaller
+ than before, and only necessary number of stylechanges is allocated now,
+ instead of some constant (1024 by default) -VH
+* functionality of dont-wrap-pre improved and extended. Now it's possible to
+ avoid wrapping the document being dumped completely (size of the non-wrapped
+ line before the patch was limited by MAX_LINE = 1024 by default). Specifying
+ -dont-wrap-pre with interactive session enables wrapped lines (in PRE) to
+ be marked as in source view - with '+' in normal view -VH
+* functionality of -force-empty-hrefless-a was cleaned up,
+ #ifndefs NO_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A and endif's were removed -VH
+* colorstyle changes are not emitted in HTML_end_element if me->skip_stack was
+ >0 on entry to this function. This caused some glitches if
+ -force-empty-hrefless-a was enabled -VH
+* LYPrettySrc.c was slightly cleaned up, added support for lynx.cfg reloading,
+ memory deallocation -VH
+* possible bug in print_wwwfile_to_fd fixed - when quoting the page, seems that
+ several '>'s could be emitted on the long line formed by concatenating lines
+ with LY_SOFT_NEWLINEs at the beginning of them -VH
+* general notes (VH):
+ + users of lss-enabled lynx should consider on upgrading the lynx - at least
+ those who use lynx for viewing huge files. By default, each line on the
+ screen took 1K for colorstyles (on x86). With new approach colorstyle
+ changes take 24 bytes (on x86) per line in average document. Old lynx with
+ 900K html file loaded as startfile occupied 30M of virtual memory, lynx
+ with patch applied occupied 5 Mb on the same file. Old code is still
+ accessible by defining OLD_STYLECHANGE.
+ + I spent 4 hours debugging attempting to write/fix code that cleans up the
+ memory allocated in LYPrettySrc.c, but Lynx.leaks shows that I didn't
+ succeeded. I fear that leak detection stuff is broken - I checked/traced
+ the code very carefully several times.
+> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW:
+* for confirmation prompts (HTConfirm), also accept English letters 'Y', 'y',
+ 'N', 'n' as responses. If characters different from those are derived from
+ the first letters of the translation of "yes" and "no" in a localized lynx,
+ the latter will still be the ones that appear in the prompt text and will
+ have precedence. Message translations using multibyte character sets should
+ continue to *not* translate "yes" and "no". Added a note to that effect.
+* small update for some chartrans tables, minor comment changes.
+* for Unix, use LYSystem instead of system for invoking telnet, rlogin,
+ rtn3270 commands.
+ [ For some non-Unix systems, LYSystem messes around with the passed command
+ string in various ways, and does some other stuff for DJGPP. So no change
+ for those, since I assume it worked before. For Unix the change prevents
+ the following occurring with ncurses (at least if USE_SIGACTION is
+ defined):
+ - access some (valid) telnet://some.host URL.
+ - within telnet client, escape to command level (usually '^]')
+ - suspend (usually 'z' or ^Z)
+ - resume (fg). Lynx process gets woken up, redraws lynx screen,
+ screen & tty state get messed up. ]
+* another tweak for display refreshing when text previously displayed
+ had UTF-8 (for ncurses) - a check in display_page was missing.
+* corrected stupid problem in LYGetFileInfo - invalid memory access.
+* corrected and extended handling for textarea INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA
+ (or DWIMEDIT), the previous patch wasn't quite right:
+ - now really truncate very long lines as intended for INSERTFILE, instead of
+ wrapping with loss of one character.
+ - for EDITTEXTAREA (DWIMEDIT), implement wrapping instead of truncation
+ (Rationale for the difference: user's editing work shouldn't be lost if we
+ can avoid it; it is only temporarily stored in a file which may be
+ unrecoverable, different from the typical INSERTFILE case.) If, upon
+ returning from the external editor, lines are encountered that don't fit in
+ the displayed width of the textarea fields, the user may be given the
+ option to wrap to that width. (This prompt may not be given when the first
+ such line has no suitable spaces for breaking - the file may be binary
+ garbage after all, not worth fixing up too much.) Line breaking is
+ attempted at spaces if possible (using isspace() for checking), but not if
+ the only available spaces are close to the beginning of a line. An attempt
+ is made to join the wrapped part of a line (if not too long) with the next
+ line if it is not indented, by suppressing the next line break (if not too
+ far away). Some other heuristics are used that work reasonably well for
+ normal text paragraphs.
+ If the above mechanisms fail, or the user did not confirm wrapping when
+ prompted, very long lines will still be wrapped to fit into the buffer size
+ (around 1024 chars).
+ [ The wrapping works quite nicely in "normal" cases - please try it! ]
+* mouse action in popups would lead to call of fancy_mouse() with wrong row
+ number, which could lead to messed-up display as well as invalid memory
+ access.
+* The previous changes in link redrawing made things worse instead of better
+ for UTF-8 display with ncurses (without color style). This time (using
+ wredrawln, not touchline) it should really get better...
+ [ The UTF-8 related changes would need testing with non-ncurses curses libs,
+ if anyone has one of those AND a working UTF-8 environment - late xterm
+ betas(?) from Tom's site should do. If the functions used for ncurses are
+ available in other curses libs, the code should probably look the same as
+ for ncurses. ]
+* SGML.c to compile without --enable-prettysrc (reported by HN) -KW
+* fixes an invalid memory problem from previous patch
+* adds alignment inheritance from COLGROUP / COL / THEAD / TFOOT / TBODY.
+* remove some logic from LYmbcsstrlen() that gave an incorrect count for
+ the number of cells displaying multibyte characters, resulting in too-few
+ cells being highlighted (reported by HN, SH) -KW
+* added support for ROWSPAN attribute of TD and TH to TRST. This only
+ reserves the appropriate amount of space in subsequent lines.
+ [ Pages that show off ROWSPAN nicely:
+ <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/domain-hello.html>
+ and related ones for other "domain"s. (Verify that there really
+ is a ROWSPAN= in the current version.) View with a screen width
+ of 100. With 80 there is some kind of problem, compare both
+ ^V settings... ]
+* some corrections in TRST code.
+* change initialization order of key escape sequence mappings for slang, so
+ that terminfo/termcap information always overrides defaults that may
+ conflict.
+* minimal memory cleanup / leak prevention for EXP_FILE_UPLOAD error
+ cases in GridText.c.
+* in HText_SubmitForm, don't change the post_content_type of the
+ passed in newdoc structure unless that is really wanted.
+* tweaked UTF-8 prevention of display library wrapping/truncation to make
+ better use of available width for centered text, and to not apply if dumping
+ to stdout.
+* for UTF-8 output with ncurses, do a clearok in display_page also if the page
+ that was *previously* displayed had UTF-8 characters. Without this there
+ were still display glitches.
+* made previous changes to SGML.c and HTMLDTD for handling OBJECT more generic.
+* minor tweaks, cleanups, glitch removal in previous changes.
+* better tracking of HTSprintf0/HTSprintf with --enable-find-leaks
+ (-DLY_FIND_LEAKS). This can be disabled in LYLeaks.h by removing the
+ definition of LY_FIND_LEAKS_EXTENDED.
+* added variant behavior in StrAllocVsprintf to make HTSprintf0/HTSprintf use
+ less memory allocation calls and keep its temporary string buffers across
+ calls. The buffers then only grow and never get cleaned up. This is enabled
+ by defining SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE in HTString.c, disable the definition there
+ in case of problems.
+* added code so HTSprintf0/HTSprintf can use vasprintf() in some situations,
+ which should be more efficient. It also works with --enable-find-leaks
+ (EXTENDED or not). This only comes into play if USE_VASPRINTF is defined
+ (not defined automatically anywhere).
+ [ For me (some Debian glibc version), the prototype for this function
+ is in stdio.h but only gets included with an explicit -D_GNU_SOURCE. ]
+ [ Which of the four combinations with/without vasprintf, with/without
+ SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE is better (if any) remains to be tested. I have seen
+ drastic differences under leak tracking, but that's just too much
+ different from a normal situation to count for anything. ]
+* Some minor leaks fixed. (LYMainLoop.c)
+
+[ Had to make owner_address and ownerS_address file-wide PRIVATE's
+ instead of auto to unleak them. Could be taken out of more
+ argument lists now. ]
+
+* HTFile.c: correction in FormatNum (could duplicate fields for some
+ LIST_FORMAT settings), avoid some HTSprintf0 calls in FormatStr.
+* replaced calls to HTSprintf with calls to HTSprintf0 in various files.
+* added missing include of LYLeaks.h in LYPrettySrc.c. But disabled memory
+ tracking there, too many allocations show up as leaks.
+* allow digits in tagspec for -prettysrc.
+* the 'fixit' change of 1999-05-16 didn't really let LYConvertToURL() revert to
+ the right old behavior in the non-'g' use. Now return a file URL for the
+ nonexisting file in the relevant situation again, as before 1998-03-25,
+ instead of an erroneous "file://localhost" which (on Unix-like systems at
+ least) would result in access to the root directory. This change (like the
+ changes of 1999-05-16 and 1998-03-25) only matters for strings that aren't
+ already in absolute URL form, don't start with a slash (or, for DOSPATH
+ systems, other path separator) either, and don't get turned into remote URLs
+ by successful 'guessing' and DNS lookup. None of the changes affect VMS.
+* protect INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA from generating memory access violations
+ if the inserted file has lines that are too long for the buffer used. An
+ alert message is issued and the long lines are truncated. Also don't exit if
+ memory allocation fails for the buffer to hold the whole file, since the only
+ reason for the failure may be that the file is too huge when otherwise lynx
+ has enough memory.
+* improved handling of some invalid constructs in SGML, especially
+ '<' followed by various characters; don't lose those characters from
+ what gets displayed for -prettysrc.
+* a pre-filled TEXTAREA text that needed charset translation could cause
+ use of an invalid pointer when building the page, resulting in garbage
+ data being displayed (or worse). The problem was in HTML.c, not related
+ to TEXTAREA editing or other related new functions.
+ [ preceding three were partially already in previous patch ]
+* recognize '<?' as introducing an SGML PI. Within most elements' content (or
+ outside of any elements) this makes no effective difference except for TRACE
+ messages and -prettysrc, the input is still junked up to the next '>' as for
+ a completely invalid tag. Within PCDATA elements the PI is now also ignored
+ instead of being treated as character data, this makes a difference for
+ example in a TEXTAREA in SortaSGML mode. (PI's aren't really expected to
+ occur in the middle of HTML, but are used at the beginning of XHTML documents
+ and other XML documents.)
+* the earlier change of TEXTAREA handling (treating as SGML_PCDATA, SortaSGML
+ only) created a problem, some lynx special characters were passed on as data
+ characters in the field contents and would mess up line editing and possibly
+ the submitted form data. Actually the problem also existed before, but only
+ for non break space, soft hyphen etc. encoded directly as character data
+ (not NCRs or entities). Resolved by telling SGML.c not to generate lynx
+ special chars for some element contents (currently only TEXTAREA), with new
+ flag Tgf_nolyspcl.
+* corrected some logic errors in LYUCFullyTranslateString. Special attribute
+ characters are now more often translated to real characters when 'Back' flag
+ is set, and should now be translated to the *right* characters for the target
+ charset. (They were sometimes converted to ISO-8859-1 values when the 'to'
+ charset was different.)
+* added a missing significant cast in UCReverseTransChar.
+* for scrollbar mouse clicking, use codes that work independent of current
+ line-editor key bindings.
+* better calculation of "subjective distance" from next anchor for mouse.
+ Change of 1999-07-30 had various problems, it wasn't quite intuitive. Use
+ scaled numbers for finer granularity. Don't make "basin of attraction" too
+ wide, or it becomes hard to find a "background" spot to click on that doesn't
+ affect a link if a page has a high density of links.
+ [ For example with a pair of fields:
+ Submit Reset
+ xxx
+ clicking in any of the positions marked 'x' on the next line would
+ select the first field, not the second. That was not an improvement. ]
+* functions LYmbcsstrlen, LYno_attr_mbcs_case_strstr, and LYno_attr_mbcs_strstr
+ in LYStrings.c where unclear about the concept of 'printable' or 'physical'
+ used for some returned values in the CJK case. Callers expected number of
+ display cells, implemented was number of 'characters' counting full-width
+ characters as 1 instead of 2. Now these functions take an additional
+ argument 'count_gcells' that tells them how to count.
+ This removes some long-standing, somewhat obscure problems with search target
+ highlighting under CJK display character sets, as well as new (and less
+ obscure) CJK problems introduces by the latest changes for highlighting.
+ Also fixed some details in the *strstr functions. The positioning of the
+ highlighting in CJK mode should now be correct and work as expected (as for
+ other display character sets) for anchors, search targets, and combinations
+ of both.
+* reorganized LYOpenTempRewrite. It should finally make sense for systems
+ without HAVE_TRUNCATE defined.
+* corrected SNACat (was unused).
+* changes for SUP and SUB: Render SUP visibly as a '^' character if it needs
+ to be separated from a preceding character in order to prevent
+ misinterpretation. The test currently used is isxdigit for the the preceding
+ character. Render <SUB> and </SUB> always as brackets '[' and ']'
+ respectively. SUB is mostly used in technical material while SUP occurs
+ frequently in pages of general nature where it is not essential, therefore
+ the different treatment.
+
+1999-10-21 (2.8.3dev.13)
+* revert a change from dev.4 which disabled getbkgd support in PDCurses -DK
+* modify ifdef for USE_QUOTED_PARAMETER to include __CYGWIN__, else names such
+ as "telnet.sh" are translated to "telnet" -DK
+* improve/simplify scrollbar support -IZ
+* implement LYNXMESSAGES:/ page using non-tempfile approach -LP
+* correct an assignment to last_kcode, broken by restructuring of LYMainLoop.c
+ in dev.11 -SH
+* tweak LYExecv() to exclude SH_EX conditional (dired commands didn't work
+ on non-Windows platforms when SH_EX defined) -LP
+* fix a potential out-of-range pointer in HTParse - JB
+* fix a small leak in the statusline history page - JB
+* restore DELEL lineedit key binding in the Alternate map (which apparently was
+ changed in -dev.4 to the DELNW function) to the ^K key -KED
+* LYMainLoop.c: remove a dozen of unnecessary `refresh_screen' flags from
+ LYK_HISTORY, LYK_PRINT, LYK_LIST, LYK_ADDRLIST, LYK_VLINKS where a new html
+ page is generated (any document update that may be displayed in "partial
+ display" mode need not set `refresh_screen' flag) -LP
+* correct some typos in cernrules.txt -VH
+* move declaration of LastDisplayChar to make GridText.c compile with DJGPP -LP
+> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW:
+* HTFTP.c: (already sent w/o description - this is updated to dev.10)
+ - interrupted_in_next_data_char was not being reset. That could make all
+ subsequent FTP directory listings fail (by showing an empty directory)
+ after receipt of one directory listing had been interrupted.
+ - be nice, send quit before closing at least in the normal (non-interrupted
+ and successful) case. Some servers (wu-ftpd at least) otherwise complain
+ with "You could at least say goodbye" which in turn causes unnecessary RST
+ packets. To minimize round-trip delays, the QUIT is sent before we start
+ reading the returned data (but after the initial response to our retrieval
+ command).
+ - always close data connection immediately after we are done reading from it,
+ also for directory requests. This was already the case for file requests.
+ Some servers (including recent wu-ftpd beta) wait for indication that we
+ closed before proceeding.
+ - keep better track of closed sockets. Some more trace messages.
+ Some comments corrected.
+* tabular representation for simple tables. See included file README.TRST.
+* made User-Agent warning more friendly, and more specific. Tell the user what
+ lynx expects in order to avoid the warning. On the other hand, issue an
+ equivalent warning when -useragent is used. Change documentation
+ accordingly.
+* don't send User-Agent header at all if it somehow would be blank.
+* indicate on forms 'O'ptions Screen which options are not saved to .lynxrc.
+* disable the form fields in the 'O'ptions Screen if the screen is generated
+ when FORMS_OPTIONS code is compiled in but not actually active.
+* LYPrint.c: In subject_translate8bit (see OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET
+ option), use higher level function to charset-translate mail Subject
+ line, rather than low-level UCTransCharStr.
+* UPPER8, UCForce8bitTOUPPER: was severely broken for UTF-8 display, making
+ WHEREIS search for strings containing non-ASCII characters impossible (and
+ probably with other bad effects). Now case mapping may still be wrong, but
+ at least identical strings compare as equal.
+* LYHistory.c: Entification for saved statusline messages happened twice by
+ mistake.
+* HTFWriter.c: Made code for automatic decompression of bzip2 files
+ conditional on BZIP2_PATH. Such files should be treated as normal binary
+ files on systems without bzip2. The configure seems to always define
+ BZIP2_PATH, but it could be undefined manually.
+* HTFWriter.c: Use LYRemoveTemp instead of remove in some cases, to avoid
+ keeping those files in the temp file list after they are long gone.
+* HTTCP.c: Check whether port numbers in URLs are really numbers.
+* HTPlain.c:
+ - deal with backspace formatting as used in formatted man pages.
+ (No highlighting, only avoid double output of characters)
+ - pass on 0xAD (soft hyphen) character in more cases.
+* HTNews.c: Prevent some ways that could trick lynx into treating a regular
+ "news:" or "nntp:" URL as something else, like snewspost. Extra check in
+ LYNews.c whether posing is allowed. Return with an error message in some
+ cases of URLs that are too long, instead of silently truncating. Make HEAD
+ work again on news articles. Some memory leaks in error path removed. A
+ message tweak.
+* HTFormat.c: HTStreamStack: avoid some unnecessary work, add a trace message
+ to show what is returned.
+* SGML.c: some cleanup of ugly ifdefs, and of unnecessary abuse of global
+ variables. (still a lot left!)
+* handle INCLUDE and CDDATA marked sections: output the contents.
+* parse various elements differently that had/have special requirements or
+ hacks. Extend meaning of Tgf_strict for literal-like content modes. Use
+ SGML_CDATA in some cases (and treat it similar to SGML_LITTERAL), use
+ SGML_PCDATA for literal-like parsing (but if modified by Tgf_strict it's
+ more like regular SGML_MIXED). A '<' that would start a tag gets displayed
+ (since not element content is allowed that's just error recovery). Comments
+ now work in TEXTAREA instead of getting displayed as text (SortaSGML mode
+ only).
+* minor tweak of sorta SGML handling for invalid end tag if start tag could be
+ validly omitted.
+* more consistent and correct recognition of element names. The characters
+ "_-.:" don't end tag names.
+* improved handling of '/' after element name in a tag: "<foo/>" is treated as
+ an empty element (as in XML). If we recognize "foo" as an empty element, do
+ nothing special; and if we recognize "foo" as a non-empty element; convert to
+ "<foo></foo>". "<foo/bar/" is treated as a shortref construct, by converting
+ to "<foo>bar</foo>" (for non-empty and recognized "foo"). This is not
+ general as it would have to be for or real SGML parser, in particular '/' is
+ only treated this way if it directly follows the element name, and it may not
+ even be quite right. It is better than the recovery lynx previously did in
+ these cases though.
+* changed handling of include buffer which is used to pass back data
+ from HTML.c to SGML.c. Passing data upstream now works without strange
+ reordering effects even when SGML_character was already parsing data from
+ a previous include buffer.
+ Character set translation would happen several times on data passed back
+ to SGML_character in the include buffer for re-parsing. This is now
+ avoided. Well at least in most cases, and for characters that *can* be
+ translated, there are likely combinations of input and output character
+ sets where the assumptions made are still wrong.
+* the start_element and end_element methods of structured stream class now
+ return a status code. Currently only used for the OBJECT stuff below.
+* mostly HTML.c, SGML.c: Changed handling of OBJECT and MAP.
+ - avoid using the include buffer mechanism as much as possible. This
+ involves introducing some new special handling in SGML.c to change parsing
+ mode for element contents, and a way for HTML_{start,end}_element to signal
+ to SGML_character what it should do. In most cases when the OBJECT element
+ content should be parsed and displayed, SGML_character now only needs one
+ pass through the data.
+ - don't lose content when several OBJECTs are nested.
+ - in HTML 4, an OBJECT with USEMAP attribute can refer to a MAP within the
+ OBJECT's content, possibly within nested inner OBJECTs. Lynx would fail to
+ find the MAP in that case, now it doesn't.
+ - in HTML 4, MAP can contain arbitrary block elements in addition to AREA.
+ Lynx now shows such block content, even if it occurs within (possibly
+ nested) OBJECTs with USEMAP whose contents we would otherwise skip.
+ Sometimes we may show too much now, by generating a LYNXIMGMAP link as well
+ as showing block content or by showing more of the OBJECT content than what
+ is within a MAP, but that is preferable to losing data.
+ - treat an A tag with COORDS attribute as equivalent to an AREA when it is
+ within MAP, for the purpose of collecting links for LYNXIMGMAP.
+ - as a fallback, internally redirect a LYNXIMGMAP request to the position of
+ the MAP element in the normally rendered text of the document containing
+ the MAP, if it is known that the MAP element exists and just doesn't
+ contain any AREA (or equivalent A-with-COORDS) links. It is assumed that
+ in such a case there is some block content within the MAP that is rendered
+ normally.
+* HTFile.c: new function LYGetFileInfo.
+* HTAnchor.c: new function HTAnchor_findSimpleAddress.
+* new function HTStartAnchor5.
+* modified the way link text is (re-)drawn by function highlight. The bulk of
+ processing now happens in new function LYMoveToLink. The data of the
+ containing line is now scanned from the beginning, using the same logic as in
+ display_line to make sure that lynx and the display library have the same
+ idea of where in the line the link starts. In UTF-8 output mode, parts of
+ the line preceding the link are also repainted if this is necessary.
+ Refreshing of the physical line is forced if necessary in UTF-8 mode. For
+ anchors split across lines, the new approach is currently only used for the
+ first line.
+ This change is not in effect for lynx with color style. In that case
+ highlighting already is sometimes done in a similar similar, but not quite
+ the same, separate function.
+* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for hypertext links. Now this is done
+ in the same pass as drawing the normal link text, in LYMoveToLink. This
+ avoids problems in UTF-8 display mode. It also avoids a lot of complicated
+ and extremely hard to understand older code in highlight(), but that code is
+ still there for use by lynx with color style and for other remaining cases
+ (non-hypertext anchors, second line highlighting).
+* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for general text. Instead of first
+ writing each line's characters in display_line, then scanning again through
+ the line's data for portions to highlight and repainting those parts after in
+ display_page, this is now done in one pass within display_line. However,
+ this isn't (yet?) done for lynx with color style which still uses the old
+ code.
+* these last three changes reduce problems that occur when using UTF-8 display
+ character set (in an appropriate terminal environment that understands it, of
+ course). Most of them don't apply with color style lynx, so it continues to
+ have more UTF-8 problems. Pages with mostly ASCII characters should be more
+ or less ok. Problems that otherwise are not visible become apparent in
+ search highlighting, and after ^Z / fg.
+* GridText.c: More changes to deal with problems caused by using UTF-8 output
+ with a display library that isn't aware of it. Break line with UTF-8 before
+ curses does it. This causes lines that are too short, effectively the
+ rightmost part of a line cannot be used if there are UTF-8 encoded
+ characters. The alternative, letting curses wrap the line when it thinks it
+ got too long, is worse, so do it in lynx code instead.
+* avoid memory overrun for very long lines in UTF-8 mode. Avoid splitting line
+ in the middle of a multibyte UTF-8 character.
+* test for SHOW_WHEREIS_TARGETS instead of 'defined(FANCY_CURSES) ||
+ defined(USE_SLANG)'.
+* initialize new textarea lines created by insert_new_textarea_anchor with
+ current display character set for value_cs. (The "cloned" value can be stale
+ in some cases if the user changed the display character set after the
+ document was last loaded - normally that should not happen). For a file
+ inserted into a textarea with INSERTFILE use new function LYGetFileInfo
+ instead to determine the file content's charset. Thus -assume_local_charset
+ and conventions based on file suffix should be honored.
+* for Unix, added more specific error message if calling external editor for
+ textarea failed, based on the status returned by system().
+* it is possible to require an additional prompt before Enter in
+ an input field causes form submission: define TEXT_SUBMIT_CONFIRM_WANTED,
+ explained in userdefs.h.
+* some small changes to prevent overstepping string boundary (HTParse.c)
+* extended SUFFIX option, added SUFFIX_ORDER option, see documentation in
+ lynx.cfg. The long list of built-in file suffix rules in HTInit.c can now be
+ disabled, either at compile time - see userdefs.h - or at run time. The
+ equivalent functionality is now available in lynx.cfg for those who want it.
+ Added comments, see HTFileInit in HTInit.c.
+* various tweaks of built-in file suffix rules.
+* allow XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND to be empty (in lynx.cfg) or NULL (in userdefs.h),
+ just don't use a default X viewer for image types in that case.
+* moved UCGetUniFromUtf8String from LYCharUtils.c to UCAux.c.
+* renamed LYUCFullyTranslateString -> LYUCTranslateHTMLString, and
+ LYUCFullyTranslateString_1 -> LYUCFullyTranslateString.
+* tweaks for special chars in (what is now) LYUCFullyTranslateString, in
+ obscure cases (input fields of type password prefilled with unusual content)
+ lynx would pass text back to the server with special characters (soft hyphen
+ or non-break space) expressed as lynx-internal code values.
+* added some replacement characters or strings to various chartrans tables.
+* experimental command line option -convert_to, only compiled in if new
+ MISC_EXP symbol is defined. This takes a string in the form of a MIME type,
+ which can also be combined with an appended ";charset=" parameter. (This
+ needs shell quoting of course). The charset value can be used to set the
+ display character set from the command line. The MIME type can be one of the
+ non-official types used internally, for some interesting effects (crashing
+ lynx not excluded). Try www/download, www/source, www/dump, or some
+ unrecognized string.
+* fixed HTMainText_Get_UCLYhndl, it was returning the wrong kind of charset
+ handle (a "UChndl", which is different from a "LYhndl" or "UCLYhndl" etc.,
+ and shouldn't be directly accessed by arbitrary bits of lynx code - it should
+ be regarded as private to the chartrans mechanism).
+* protect various printf-like calls against crashes from strings with '%':
+ LYSyslog.
+* LYDownload.c: made parsing of LYNXDOWNLOAD: URL slightly more robust.
+* disabled some broken pieces.

+1999-10-14 (2.8.3dev.12)

+* minor fix for makeutcb, to compile with K&R C -TD
+
+1999-10-13 (2.8.3dev.11)
+* restructured LYMainLoop.c, so the main switch statement calls functions
+ rather than doing everything inline. This greatly reduces memory required
+ to compile that module, as well as making the compile 3-4 times faster -TD
+* tweak CJK_EX code for incorrect x-transparent charset handler - it now
+ depends on --with-charsets= configure flag -LP
+* tweak comments in UCDomap.c to be consistent with KW changes as of
+ 2.8.3dev7 -LP
+* define DECL_ERRNO for Borland compiler, so errno will be declared (report

+ <kubitovi@mbox.lantanet.cz>, KW, KED)
+* remove a couple more duplicate includes -LP
+* remove a couple of duplicate includes -JB (John Bley <jbley@cs.cmu.edu>)
+* fix some missing ifdef's for win32 versus DOS, as well as change calls to
+ strcasecomp() to strncasecmp() -SH
+* undo spurious change from win32 integration in dev.5 to HTSprintf0() which
+ causes a memory leak (reported by John Bley, analysis KW) -TD
+* prevent embedded "%s" in generated messages from causing a core dump in
+ exit_immediately_with_error_message by using fputs rather than fprintf/printf
+ (reported by KW) -TD
+* Changes in UCAuto.c for --enable-font-switch: Support some more code pages
+ if available. Check return code from setfont invocation, and use it to
+ determine whether font and/or translation map loading was successful.
+ Warning, this is not based on any documented interface but on
+ experimentation, so may not work for long or for anyone but me; it shouldn't
+ be worse than before though. Better logic for keeping track of state, some
+ parts just didn't work right. Workaround for wrong data in some distributed
+ font files. Minor memory leak removed -KW
+* modify test/c1.html to use tabs for better formatting, added comments -KW
+* modify HTFTP.c for better conformance with RFC959. Among other things, one
+ major purpose was ending the control conversation cleanly, at least in the
+ normal case, to get rid of the "221 You could at least say goodbye.."
+ responses from wu-ftpd servers and resulting RST traffic. In response to the
+ problem with ftp.wu-ftpd.org, made one small change to when the data_soc is
+ closed. This was done early for some specially code server types, apparently
+ those that has caused the same type of problem in the past; just changed it
+ to close data_soc at that point independent of server type -KW
+* set CDPATH to . in the makefile.in's that use cd, in case user has set
+ CDPATH without . at the beginning -TD

+1999-09-29 (2.8.3dev.10)
+* change CTRACE macro to double-parenthesis form, to allow ifdef'ing most
+ trace statements -TD
+* fix the creation of a new bookmark file and takes care that older bookmarks
+ files do not fall into the same bug anymore by making sure the <ol> tag is in
+ a line by itself. This correction will only be activated when the first
+ bookmark is attempted to be erased (patch by Eduardo Chappa)
+* change a trace/error message in HTInit.c to say "Lynx" rather than

+* correct redefinition of u_long for WATT32 -LP
+* modify syslog change to make it more specific, based on comments by KW -TD
+* fix potential security problem with SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS, which would let
+ syslog() send sensitive information as broadcast to any syslog daemon that
+ care to listen.
+ E.g. URLs with embedded passwords are sent to syslog:
+ Sep 11 12:26:06 lynx[16177]: ftp://joe:password@host/~joe
+ The patch masks the password by breaking up the URL and replacing
+ the password with "******" (Gisle Vanem <giva@bryggen.bgnett.no>).
+* fix mismatch of const's from call of map_string_to_keysym() in
+ lkcstring_to_lkc() -TD
+* supply trailing slash for protocol_proxy settings (whether environment

+ content otherwise looks normal (starts with http, no superfluous slashes) -KW
+* add links for "Free WWW E-mail services" to online help -PW
+* add links in online help to FAQ-o-matic -JES
+* more fixes to build with slang under cygwin32 - DK
+* add/use LYwaddstr(), etc to fix more const-casts (reported by PG) -TD
+* modify HTTCP.c to prevent telnet and similar applications from inadvertently
+ using hostname tokens which look like command-line options -KW
+* modify configure script's --with-charsets option so that if the option
+ --without-charsets is selected, then it will use a 'minimal' set. The
+ keyword 'minimal' is recognized as the list us-ascii,iso-8859-1,utf-8
+ (request by KW, HN) -TD
+* ifdef'd recursive calls on UCGetLYhndl_byMIME() for charsets that may be not
+ present (--with-charsets), and add getLYhndl_byCP() to cover a special case
+ of recursion which was also a preexisting hole (reported by Frederic L W

+
+1999-08-28 (2.8.3dev.8)

+ link popen() code when it was not available -TD
+* correct order of ifdef's for __CYGWIN__ in LYGlobalDefs.h, which would result
+ in a syntax error if the symbol __CYGWIN__ were undefined when __CYGWIN32__
+ was defined -TD
+* change hardcoded ifdef for <arpa/inet.h> include to autoconf'd form -TD
+* modify makeuctb to add ifdef's allowing most charsets to be suppressed at
+ compile time. Use similar ifdef's in UCdomap.h to suppress registration
+ of non-uctb charsets. Add configure option --with-charsets to specify list
+ of charsets which are not suppressed (def7_uni is always active) -TD
+* change makeuctb to generate the name of the output file, simplifying all of
+ the build scripts in chartrans -TD
+* correct a syntax error in crypt_util.c from dev.7 and an ifdef in LYCurses.c
+ that sets the codepath -SH
+* use macro TABLESIZE throughout for consistency -TD
+* revert use of TYPECAST for parameter of 'FREE()' macro, since that puts a

+* correct improperly-nested ifdef EXP_CHARSET_CHOICE in ifdef for USE_PSRC
+ in LYReadCFG.c -TD
+
+1999-08-26 (2.8.3dev.7)
+* tweak ifdef'ing of `debug_delay' (only available with SH_EX _and_ WIN_EX) -LP
+* tweak src/Xsystem.c (extern system_is_NT is now ifdef'ed with WIN_EX) so
+ exec_command() can also be used with DJGPP when compiled with _WIN_CC symbol
+ (though choice of _WIN_CC is questionable) -LP
+* simplified ifdef'ing for resolv() vs LYGetHostByName() for DJGPP -TD
+* DJGPP with WATT32 now does DNS lookup via LYGetHostByName()/gethostbyname()
+ like other lynx ports so we get reasonable error recovery when DNS lookup
+ fails. (For example, we now avoid a hang when wattcp.cfg is not configured
+ properly - a typical situation when playing with nullpkt.com). Build with
+ -DNSL_FORK (in both src and WWW makefiles) is recommended: this will prevent
+ unexpected 1 second curses delay when alerting a wrongly configured tcp. (No
+ real fork() in DJGPP, unfortunately: this function always returns -1 and set
+ 'errno' to ENOMEM, as MS-DOS does not support multiple processes. It exists
+ only to assist in porting Unix programs) -LP
+* alternative patch (replaces HN's) for UCdomap.c -KW
+* modify initialization of lynx_temp_space in case the given name has
+ embedded "~", ifdef'd for WIN_EX -SH
+* fix a problem hanging caused by allowing some unknown entities in an ALT
+ string. The "hang" problem was caused by a combination of removing too much
+ under 'case S_check_name' in 'LYUCFullyTranslateString_1', _and_ having
+ having some Latin 1 character codes that are untranslatable to the display
+ character set -KW
+* added lynx.cfg setting PSRCVIEW_NO_ANCHOR_NUMBERING that inhibits link
+ numbering when in psrc mode if set to TRUE (default is FALSE) -VH
+* fixes for justification code (anchor position recalculation) and the
+ GridText.c:*TrimHightext (it was not designed to support LY_SOFT_NEWLINES),
+ correcting rendering of links on wrapped lines in psrc mode -VH
+* fixes to www_tcp.h, LYUtils.c and UCdomap.c to build on BeOS 4.5 -TD
+* fixes for CYGWIN with Slang, mainly due to platform differences in Slang -DK
+* fixes for DJGPP, missing headers and declarations -DK

+* rename -number_links_forms to -number_fields -TD
+* add the -number_links_forms command line option (John Hawkinson

+* modify configure script so --enable-change-exec sets default for
+ the --enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts options -TD
+* modify ifdef's for ENABLE_OPTS_CHANGE_EXEC since one or both of EXEC_LINKS

+* add/clarify user's guide for command line option syntax -DK, KW
+* add a new command line toggle for DOS to control debugging of packets under
+ WATTCP and WATT-32. Under WATT-32, once dbug_init is called, debugging
+ cannot be turned off (although output can be sent to /dev/null). This new
+ option "-wdebug" controls whether debugging is active, is off by default -DK,

+* corrected install rule using symbolic link for copyright files (reported by

+* add support for scrollbars, ifdef'd with USE_SCROLLBAR. Use command-line
+ options -scrollbar and -scrollbar_arrow or corresponding lynx.cfg to enable
+ it. Requires ncurses; may be further tuned if color-style configuration
+ is used -IZ
+* LYCopyFile(): Thanks to Hiroyuki Senshu, DOS-based systems need no cp.exe
+ binary any more. The code was originally ifdef'ed with SH_EX; now defined
+ with DOSPATH so is used automatically by any dos/windows port, not used for
+ UNIXes (permissions?) -LP

+* add configure option --enable-cjk to compile-in CJK_EX logic -TD
+* add -short_url option and associated logic to elide middle of long urls
+ (adapted from patch by Eduardo Chappa <chappa@math.washington.edu>) -TD
+* ifdef'd read-progress changes with EXP_READPROGRESS, add configure option
+ --enable-read-eta to turn this on -TD
+* enhanced read-progress logic (Ilya Zakharevich):
+ a) makes size/transfer rate reports use format "8.3 KB" (instead
+ of "8 KB") if numbers are below 10 KB and reports are in KB;
+ b) makes transferred/expected/transfer-rate use bytes/KB independently
+ so "236 bytes of 56 KB" is possible, as is
+ "8.3 of 56 KB, 456 bytes/sec";
+ c) adds "ETA 23 sec" info if available;
+ d) adds " (stalled for 75 sec)" info if available (updated each 5
+ sec or so);
+ e) uses gettimeofday() if present (instead of current hacks) to get more
+ frequent updates.
+* fixes for OS/2 and ncurses from Ilya Zakharevich:
+ a) Makes lynx ignore mouse events which are not clicks (filtering through
+ ncurses does not work as expected).
+ b) Makes mouse-clicks "basin of attraction" of a link wider (the area where
+ clicks make the link a current link). It was 2 units vertically and
+ horizontally, make it 2 units vertically, and 6 units horizontally. This
+ leads to "more intuitive selection".
+ c) Make processing of .lynx-keymap write messages to trace buffer;
+ d) LAC-keybindings were not working;
+ e) Allow .lss files include one another via INCLUDE:/file/name
+ g) Allow a change of default color in .lss files (not the color of attributes
+ text, but colors for a style if "default" is specified); This (together
+ with "e") allows for a simple modification of a color scheme
+ Here is an example of a .lss file with a changed default
+ foreground/background and a handful of other declarations fine-tuned for
+ this change. (It implements "Commander" style). "Overriding"
+ declarations should be put before INCLUDE:, and the "default:" declaration
+ should be the last one.

+ + renamed makefile.w32 to makefile.bcb
+ + renamed src/chrtrans/makefile.w32 to src/chrtrans/makefile.bcb
+* the DOS port compiled with WATT-32 now works in a DOS window under Windows
+ 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. It still needs its own packet driver
+ and does not use any native winsocks and has only been tested with Toni
+ Lopez's DOSPPP. This does fill a void for those running Win3.x, who
+ previously had to close Windows and go back to plain DOS before they could
+ run lynx. Updated the help files, reflecting current platform support -DK
+* corrected definitions in HTTP.c and HTDOS.h to build with old TCP library -LP
+* When keypad_mode was changed from forms options menu
+ set_numbers_as_arrows()/reset_numbers_as_arrows() was not reinitialized
+ (reported by KED) - LP
+* SOURCE_CACHE: add one more parse setting member (keypad_mode)
+ to HText structure -LP
+* SOURCE_CACHE: fix updating the document when "display charset" was changed
+ from Options Menu by user: FREE(anchor->UCStages) call from
+ HTuncache_current_document() now duplicated in HTreparse_document().
+ (problem reported by KW) - LP
+* tweak trace message in scan_cookie_sublist(): limit trace output by trying
+ LYstrstr() as a first approximation before host_matches() -LP
+* open temp-file in LYNewsPost() in binary mode for DJGPP to avoid translation
+ of \r\n vs \n -DK
+* add note about potential conflicts with cookie files to description of
+ --disable-persistent-cookies -BJP
+* added status message to indicate state of text inputs -VH
+* added ability to make text inputs non-sticky (i.e., user will have to
+ activate them explicitly via an LYK_ACTIVATE action) - seems useful for
+ people navigating with alphanumeric keys. Default is 'sticky' - i.e., old
+ behavior. Behavior is controlled via command line option '--sticky-inputs'
+ and STICKY_INPUTS in lynx.cfg -VH
+* added conditionals to 'userdefs.h' that disable support for
+ force-empty-hrefless-a mode if lynx is configured without lss (it's not
+ useful for such setup) -VH
+* minor change to prettysrc mode, writing comments one character at a time
+ to avoid translation of \r\n to \n\n in HText_appendText() -VH
+* correct rendering of DL in EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS, will inhibit justification of

+* modify HTMLDTD.c so that "center" is not treated with EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS -VH
+* fix for core-dump in EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS -VH
+* modify signal handling in LYSystem to workaround competing SIGTSTP handlers
+ when a subprocess is active. This adds a new function LYToggleSigDfl(),
+ using sigaction as an alternative to signal to save/restore as much of the
+ signal state as possible -KW
+* add configure option --enable-justify-elts (request by VH) -TD
+* add configure test for sigaction function and related structs -TD

+ LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED to keep it shorter than 32 characters -TD
+* change ifndef's for NO_JUSTIFY to ifdef EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS since something in
+ VH's recent code causes core dumps, by crosslinking the state of two parts of
+ the parser -TD
+* modify slang code to recognize F1 from terminfo/termcap on Unix (John E Davis)
+* changes to use the WATT-32 tcp library, making a DOS port that does http,
+ ftp, news, mailto, and telnet -DK
+ Remaining work includes:
+ * This has been tested only with slang and the djgpp_keyhandler code. There
+ will probably need to be more changes to have this work properly with
+ PDCurses.
+ * There is at least one bug. When set to use http_proxy, there seems to be a
+ long wait between socket connect and write if the proxy is accessed too
+ rapidly in succession. It seems that if it is accessed more frequently
+ than about 20 seconds, there is a timeout of up to about 85 seconds.
+ * some problems with ctrl-break handling, will report to the watt-32 list.
+* rename tcp.h to www_tcp.h -DK
+* fix typo in manpage description of -color (Christian Hudon
+ <chrish@debian.org>).
+* add $(LDFLAGS) to chrtrans/makefile.in, for NetBSD -JES
+* use symbolic link rather than hard link for installing copyright files -TD
+* now dashes and underscores can be intermixed in commandline options, and in
+ -restriction option, ifdef'd with OPTNAME_ALLOW_DASHES -VH
+* added commandline switch '-dont_wrap_pre' that will inhibit line wrapping in
+ <pre> when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing. (But maximal length of line on output
+ can't exceed MAX_LINE (1023 by default)) -VH
+* lynx.man updated to reflect new option -dont_wrap_pre and to note that gnu
+ style of options (with two dashes) is also supported -VH
+* some small developer's docs tweaks -VH
+* added text justification (controlled by commandline switch '-justify' and
+ from lynx.cfg too), ifdef'd with NO_JUSTIFY -VH
+* added support for emitting backspaces (a-la man) - commandline option is
+ '-with-backspaces', ifdef'd with NO_DUMP_WITH_BACKSPACES -VH
+* added support for forcing-empty-HREFless-As - ie A element that doesn't
+ contain HREF will be closed after it was seen (without waiting for </a>) -
+ this fixes rendering of documentation, produced by broken translators that

+* entify messages in LYshow_statusline_messages() -LP
+* add -DNO_PORT to WWW/*/djgpp makefiles -DK
+ This is to make ftp work with new version of the WATTCP library as revised by
+ Igor Poretsky for building lynx with DJGPP. The old version has been renamed
+ to "tcplibdj-old.zip". For the new package, go to:
+ "http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/tcplibdj.zip" or
+ "ftp://ftp.rahul.net/pub/dkaufman/tcplibdj.zip"
+* new option REUSE_TEMPFILES, see comments in lynx.cfg -KW
+* use P instead of invalid TR for right-aligned "LYNXMESSAGES:" link in HISTORY
+ page -KW
+* better support for accessing FTP directory listings on Windows NT FTP
+ servers: try to switch MSDOS-like directory output off with SITE DIRSTYLE.
+ The price to pay for this is one or (probably more often) two more command/
+ response round trips -KW
+* added support for accessing FTP directory listings in "dls" style sent by
+ some OS/2 servers. Only one server was known and used for testing, so the
+ heuristics used may not be quite general enough. File date/time is not shown
+ since it doesn't seem to be part of the basic format -KW
+* in lynx.man removed bogus "ID:" for -assume_charset,
+ -assume_local_charset -KW
+* in a list, render a <DIV> that doesn't have an ALIGN="center" or
+ ALIGN="right" attribute like a <P> in that situation: break the line if
+ necessary but don't create an empty line, an keep list indentation. This
+ addresses Debian bug #21331 -KW
+* other changes for DIV: it's a block element, so make sure its contents
+ doesn't get rendered inline, even for nested DIVs that don't change text
+ alignment. Try to avoid improperly kept change of DIV styles' alignment by a
+ <P> or </P> in its content -KW
+* make "treating H# in a list as an LH" work also for SortaSGML parsing,
+ previously it only worked with TagSoup -KW
+* removed special handling for empty last field from LYstrsep(), which made it
+ act differently from (GNU) C library's strsep() -KW
+* macro DEFAULT_INVCHECK_BV for default invalid cookie checking behavior, can
+ be changed at top of LYCookie.c for those who really want that -KW
+* reorganize code for invalid cookie checking / prompting somewhat, it is
+ hopefully easier to follow now, and should result in more logical prompting
+ (or not) if a cookie is invalid for more than one reason -KW
+* change invalid cookie confirmation prompts to default to "no" answer. This
+ can prevent the impression that Lynx hangs because the prompt is not
+ completely visible. There should be a better way to ensure that all prompts
+ are recognizable as such (at least with "normal" screen widths) -KW
+* use more of the available statusline width for showing cookie name and value
+ in normal cookie prompts -KW
+* handle \" in quoted cookie values, so that the quote char doesn't end the
+ value string -KW
+* write quoted cookie values to cookie file with the quotes ('"' chars). When
+ the cookie file is read, assume that quoted strings are quoted cookie values.
+ It would be better to have a separate flag stored, but we are limited by the
+ choice of the Netscape-compatible file format. This should resolve Debian
+ bug #35523 -KW
+* handle empty value strings like any other cookie values: they can be kept in
+ the cookie jar (in memory), and can be written to and read from the cookie
+ file -KW
+* more checking whether a line read from a cookie file is complete -KW
+* write out second field in cookie file lines a TRUE or FALSE depending on
+ whether the domain can be used for suffix matching or has to match
+ completely. This seems to be how Netscape uses it. We don't actually use
+ this field when reading a file (presence of a leading dot in the domain value
+ tells us what we need to know), but this should improve behavior for people
+ sharing a cookie file between Lynx and a Netscape browser (although such
+ sharing shouldn't be recommended) -KW
+* treat case as insignificant in cookie domains more consistently -KW
+* remove remnants of FROM_FILE domain behavior, it was unused -KW
+* add some clarifications in lynx.cfg regarding cookies -KW
+* entify strings when adding them to LYNXMESSAGES: stack -KW
+* save HTAlwaysAlert messages for LYNXMESSAGES: page -KW
+* generate TRACE output for prompts that use HTConfirm() or
+ HTConfirmDefault() -KW
+* make sure force_old_UCLYhndl_on_reload is initialized and reset properly -KW
+* minor tweaks (LYCharUtils.c, LYMain.c, LYPrint.c) -KW
+* flush Lynx.leaks file after writing each memory leak record but before
+ freeing the memory block, to ensure the info is on disk if something goes
+ seriously wrong (i.e., FREE causes a signal) -KW
+* more general checking in postoptions - `lynx LYNXOPTIONS:foo' now doesn't
+ crash -KW
+* revived dired "install" functionality, more or less as it was (apparently)
+ originally meant to be used, but with various checks added. Compilation is
+ now conditional on new symbol OK_INSTALL. The "install" function is the
+ closest we have to a "copy file" function, and could be used instead; the
+ actual command executed depends on macros INSTALL_PATH and possibly
+ INSTALL_ARGS, one can define INSTALL_PATH for example to "/bin/cp" before
+ compilation to effectively get something like a dired "copy" function. Note
+ the the "install" function requires a special file in the home directory,
+ which can be customized, see samples/installdirs.html -KW
+* new function HTURLPath_toFile in HTFile.c. Use it if we don't have a full
+ URL where HTnameOfFile_WWW was used previously, this avoids misparsing of
+ some unusual URL forms for files -KW
+* other changes for dired support (KW):
+ - various corrections with respect to URL-unescaping: don't escape
+ too often or too little, dired operations could fail on filenames
+ with special characters
+ - avoid some unnecessary copying and allocation for filenames
+ - avoid some more static buffers
+ - add some buffer overflow checks
+* make local directory display somewhat interruptible even without
+ partial page display -KW
+* make do_readme in HTFile.c 8-bit clean -KW
+* tweak in HTTP.c to avoid doing strlen() on received data that are to be
+ passed on raw; raw NUL bytes within the first block read could lead to data
+ loss -KW
+* change newly introduced CAN_ANONYMOUS_* at end of userdefs.h to be FALSE by
+ default, to get behavior with -anonymous that is equivalent to 2.8.2 -KW
+* handle some more common forms of mailcap $DISPLAY tests internally in
+ HTInit.c -KW
+* correct a problem which appears when the curses library causes FANCY_CURSES
+ to be defined but not COLOR_CURSES: the code can call attrset() twice for
+ the same characters, thus replacing the original attribute with the new one.
+ Fix by using attron() instead (patch by Julian Coleman
+ <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>)
+* modify LYonedot() so it does not change its parameter, avoiding corrupting
+ the name to be zipped (reported by DK) -TD
+* modify LYDownload.c to skip over delimiter for file://localhost to avoid
+ treating it as part of the DOS filename -DK
+* alter LYExecv() to only do an HTAlert if the return-code is zero, i.e., an
+ error was reported. This lets us reuse (and free) memory pointed to by
+ tmpbuf (reported by DK) -TD
+* remove redefinition of lstat() and change test of stat() function with DJGPP,
+ which returns nonzero rather than negative on failure -DK
+
+1999-06-18 (2.8.3dev.2)
+* move some of the path-manipulation from the DJGPP dired change into new
+ functions LYisAbsPath, LYisRootPath and LYLastPathSep -TD
+* dired support with DJDPP -Igor B Poretsky, DK, TD
+ (patch adapted by DK from Igor B Poretsky, (Some corrections/rework by TD
+ also - must retest).
+ Some notes from DK:
+ + since this is DJGPP based, it may be incompatible with a called program
+ that uses a WATCOM DOS extender. I think I had this problem with a
+ precompiled binary for zip. The current zip binary doesn't have this
+ problem.
+ + The key to making this work with DJGPP is the __sysflags = 0x501d in
+ LYMain.c, since this lets the system() call handle multiple commands on one
+ line and allows the cd command to work across disks.
+ + I didn't look at Igor's changes to LYMainLoop.c as regards to the HTUncache
+ calls. He said he wasn't sure about this.
+ + This was tested with Info-Zip's zip and unzip, GNU tar, gzip, comp430d,
+ PKZIP, and PKUNZIP. This was only tested when built with slang. I don't
+ see where PDCurses is likely to cause a problem, however.
+ Problems:
+ + To make this work, I made lynx_edit_mode = TRUE in LYMainLoop.c. This does
+ not seem to be the correct solution. It seems that this should be handled
+ by the code in HTAccess.c, but I don't understand how this works. If
+ lynx_edit_mode isn't true, the dired menu doesn't appear with the "f"
+ invocation of LYK_DIRED_MENU.
+ + I'll try to explain this briefly, but this bug is very reproducible. If a
+ program is invoked from the dired menu which needs to interact with the
+ user, the system sometimes freezes and has to be rebooted. For example, a
+ call to unzip a zip archive where the files already exist has zip ask if
+ the file should be overwritten. If done initially after lynx is started,
+ no keystrokes are accepted and the system always hangs. If, however, any
+ file has been moved or had its name changed via the dired menu, then the
+ above problem doesn't occur. I have tried to see what changes after the
+ name change that fixes this problem, but I am stumped. Gzip and unzip seem
+ to have this problem, but PKUNZIP doesn't.

+
+1999-06-11 (2.8.3dev.1)
+> minor corrections by TD, patch from KW:
+* Key handling changes:
+ - Extended lynxkeycodes: a bit flag is used to indicate that the lower bits
+ of the value already are a lynxactioncode and need not be looked up again.
+ Reduces need for back and forth forward and reverse binding lookups;
+ currently only used in some places.
+ - Extended lynxkeycodes: several (currently three) bit flags are used to
+ indicate key modifiers.
+ - Added some macros for manipulating and mapping of these codes, see
+ especially LYKeymap.h, LKC_TO_LAC() etc. Added some comments about the
+ various kinds of codes.
+ - Added several editaction codes and flags for setting key modifier on next
+ key (i.e. for declaring keys as prefix keys, for the purposes of line
+ editing); for flagging a key for different action if same key is repeated;
+ for exiting input field line editing and passing a specific lynxactioncode
+ on; and for undoing 8-bit C1 -> 7-bit replacement transformation for some
+ chars. Added code to line-editor implementation to react to these new
+ editactions. Note that the mapping of lynxkeycode to lynxactioncode
+ outside of line editing, i.e. KEYMAP in lynx.cfg etc., ignores the
+ modifiers. The main loop just drops modifier flags or ignores the modified
+ key; modifier flags cannot be used in lynx.cfg KEYMAP 'keystroke' values.
+ - An ESC not recognized as part of an escape sequence can set the appropriate
+ modifier flag in LYgetch(), except for SLANG which normally uses a
+ different LYgetch() implementation. Interpreting an ESC prefix as modifier
+ is very useful for situations where a held-down Alt key (or some other key)
+ is encoded this way: linux console, kermit with emacs key mappings,
+ possibly xterm with '*eightBitInput: false'. OTOH it doesn't work for all
+ characters or in all situations.
+ - Extended syntax recognized in .lynx-keymaps file (which is only used if
+ compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined, which in turn depends on slang and
+ ncurses version):
+ (a) Meta-foo can be used to map an escape sequence to a key + modifier.
+ (b) LAC:foo can be used to map an escape sequence directly to a
+ lynxactioncode (actually, to an extended lynxkeycode that
+ encapsulates a lynxactioncode).
+ See examples added to samples/lynx-keymaps.
+ - Extended syntax of KEYMAP option, additional field can override line-editor
+ behavior. PASS documented in lynx.cfg.
+ - Extended syntax that can be used for specifying key in KEYMAP, some of the
+ forms allowed in .lynx-keymaps file are now additionally recognized, but
+ only if compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined. Left undocumented in lynx.cfg
+ (maybe subject to change).
+ - New "Bash-like" Line Editor binding. Adds several new emacs-like editing
+ functions. Adds tables for keys with modifiers (actually the same table is
+ currently used for all modifiers, to save some space). Most notably, ^X is
+ a prefix key to set a modifier flag. Keys with second function when
+ pressed twice are ^E^E and ^K^K. ESC is also recognized as setting a
+ modifier flag, in case it gets through without been having been handled in
+ LYgetch(). See new file keystrokes/bashlike_edit_help.html for more info.
+ The Bash-like Line Editor Bindings are only compiled in if compiled with
+ -DEXP_ALT_BINDINGS / configured with --enable-alt-bindings (but not subject
+ to a new macro). Implementation code for the new emacs-like functions
+ additionally ifdef'd with ENHANCED_LINEEDIT.
+ - Avoid dependency on DNARROW key binding when form field line-editing is
+ ended with Enter or Return key.
+ - Take setting of real_c/old_c into consideration after return from form
+ field line-editing. Previously there were some strange effects:
+ statusline messages would sometimes not appear when they should, the KEYMAP
+ command would sometimes not work when invoked with ^Vk while in a form
+ field.
+ - Make NOCACHE ('x') work for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields (i.e. forms with
+ a single text input field where Enter automatically submits). Of course
+ 'x' has to be typed as ^Vx while line-editing the field (or NOCACHE mapped
+ to a different key). Similarly allow DOWNLOAD, and HEAD to work for such
+ fields. Try to ensure that all permission checks that apply to other form
+ submissions are also done for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields, this wasn't the case
+ before.
+ - New key actions LPOS_PREV_LINK and LPOS_NEXT_LINK. They are like PREV_LINK
+ and NEXT_LINK, with the difference that, when moving to a form input or
+ textarea line, the last column position (relative to the field) is
+ remembered. They are not mapped by default, but mentioned in lynx.cfg.
+ - New key action DWIMHELP. It should give some context-sensitive help.
+ Currently the appropriate Line Editor Binding help page is shown if a form
+ input field is selected, otherwise it defaults to the main HELP page.
+ - New key action DWIMEDIT. Revert meaning of EDIT back to previous meaning:
+ always edit document file, not textarea content. DWIMEDIT acts like
+ EDITTEXTAREA if the current link is a form textarea or input field and
+ AUTOEXTEDIT was defined, and like EDIT otherwise. Also added slightly
+ different statusline message if form field external editing cannot be done
+ because editing is disabled: it shouldn't refer to "The 'e'dit command".
+ - Summary of reasonable ways to invoke external texarea editing (assuming
+ that it is desired to keep the action of 'e' to edit files at least outside
+ of input fields):
+ 1) KEYMAP 'e' to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^Ve. (if AUTOEXTEDIT is defined,
+ which is the case by default.)
+ 1a) KEYMAP <some other key> to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^V<some other key>.
+ 1b) KEYMAP <some other key> to EDITTEXTAREA, invoke ^V<some other key>.
+ 2) KEYMAP a key (function or control, not printable!) to EDITTEXTAREA
+ or DWIMEDIT, using PASS in the KEYMAP line.
+ 2a) Find some key whose LineEdit binding is already LYE_FORM_PASS, and
+ KEYMAP it to EDITTEXTAREA or DWIMEDIT.
+ 3) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings),
+ select Bash-like Bindings,
+ invoke ^E^E or ^X^E (or ESC ^E aka M-C-e), or
+ invoke ^Xe (or ESC e aka M-e), or
+ 3a) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings),
+ and without selecting Bash-like Bindings
+ (invoke ESC ^E aka M-C-e or ESC e aka M-e).
+ Bindings in parentheses under 3/3a may not work with slang unless a
+ tweaked .lynx-keymaps file is used.
+* Other changes related to textarea handling:
+ - More appropriate message statusline message if GROWTEXTAREA or INSERTFILE
+ cannot be done because a textarea is not selected: it shouldn't refer to
+ "external editor".
+ - Check whether an editor is defined before trying to use it for textarea
+ editing. Generate message if spawning of external textarea editor failed.
+ - Allow INSERTFILE only if file access is not restricted.
+ - Enforce dotfiles restriction and "show dot files" setting for INSERTFILE.
+* Mouse handling changes, mostly only if mouse support comes via ncurses:
+ - Re-enabled changing link by clicking in area *near* a link (but not on the
+ link text), but limit max. distance to 2 character positions.
+ - Make mouse popup menu disappear when it should, by applying the right magic
+ touchline() in popup_choice().
+ - Lots of small tweaks to remove glitches in mouse handling, among them: No
+ left scrolling of long input fields on entering with mouse. Try to ensure
+ statusline is updated after mouse menu. Make menu actions work as
+ expected. Avoid acting on mouse events, especially invoking mouse menu, in
+ wrong context (e.g. while at a prompt), at least in many places.
+ - Clicking on left or right border of mouse menu now only moves selection.
+ - At right end of top/bottom line, where single click causes HISTORY action,
+ double click now causes VLINKS action.
+ - Allow to distinguish between submitting and just positioning into a
+ TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE input field. Single click positions, double click
+ submits, 'activate' from menu also submits.
+ - When initializing ncurses mouse, call mousemask() with only those bits set
+ that we may actually be interested in.
+* Changes relevant for handling window size changes:
+ - For ncurses, changed the way how mainloop() notifies the curses library
+ about a window size change. The approach taken previously, and still used
+ if we are not using ncurses, has more overhead, can unnecessarily switch
+ out of the alternative screen buffer (and back) under xterm, and didn't
+ really make ncurses update the WINDOW structures for the new size in time.
+ - Other tweaks for size change: make sure curdoc.link is valid after
+ refresh.
+ - Detection of size changes in more situations: tolerate EOF from GetChar in
+ the (non-SLANG) LYgetch_for() in more cases if errno is EINTR, if this
+ happens check for a size change and generate trace output. Recognize
+ KEY_RESIZE from ncurses, check for a size change and generate trace output
+ when it occurs.
+ - Added NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH lynx.cfg option and -nonrestarting_sigwinch
+ flag. If set, lynx *may* react more immediately to window size changes
+ when running under xterm or similar. Whether this actually has an effect
+ depends on the implementation of sigaction() and on the behavior of the
+ curses (or similar) library when a read() (or other system call) is
+ interrupted by signals.
+ Depends on '#if HAVE_SIGACTION', which currently has to be defined by hand,
+ for example by 'make SITE_DEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. The command line flag
+ is only available on systems with HAVE_SIGACTION and SIGWINCH.
+ - Tweaks so that lynx in an xterm can survive when the window size is made
+ (probably temporarily) very small, for example 1x1. Avoid display_page's
+ work if it wouldn't be displayable anyway. Make display_title handle very
+ small screen widths, at least to the degree that it doesn't crash.
+* Except for VMS or when DOSPATH is defined, set restore_sigpipe_for_children.
+ Fixes Debian bug #33853, maybe not really a bug but let's be nice.
+* Changes in HTTCP.c:
+ - Added a CTRACE_FLUSH before creation of NSL_FORK child process.
+ - Block certain signals during creation of NSL_FORK child process, if
+ sigprocmask() and friends are available. This should prevent a rare
+ problem where sometimes the child process could be killed before it has a
+ chance to modify its signal handlers, resulting in screen corruption, a
+ seemingly hanging lynx, and/or other problems. It is assumed that
+ sigprocmask() etc. are available if HAVE_SIGACTION is true. It currently
+ has to be defined by hand, for example by 'make
+ SITE_LYDEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'.
+ - Generate diagnostic messages for some failures of forked lookup. Depends
+ on HAVE_H_ERRNO. In particular, try to detect whether the child process
+ failed because of memory problems, and also fake a 'z' in that case to
+ short-circuit a URL guessing cycle.
+ - For most systems, generate more trace output for connection attempts, close
+ to the actual connect() and select() calls to prevent clobbering errno.
+ See SOCKET_DEBUG_TRACE. This should help diagnose some obscure
+ system-dependent problems that have occasionally been reported.
+* Added some missing stuff for color handling to forms Option Menu code.
+* Printing to screen sometimes didn't show anything for short texts, if screen
+ output was buffered (and ncurses makes stdout buffered). Added another
+ fflush(stdout) in send_file_to_screen().
+* Some checks for specific URLs (helpfilepath, lynxlistfile, and lynxjumpfile)
+ in LYGetFile.c were inappropriately case-insensitive for Unix. The
+ comparison is now case-sensitive except for VMS. This may need tweaking for
+ DOS and similar systems.
+* Added additional LYNoRefererForThis check in getfile(), the one in mainloop()
+ could be missed for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields. Also moved other check for
+ whether to send Referer header earlier, and made it apply for URL types that
+ might be proxied.
+* LYAddVisitedLink tried to regard documents with the same address but a
+ different title string as different documents, but this was coded wrong.
+ Removed ineffective comparison, but keep old title string if new title string
+ is empty.
+* Correct long-standing logic error in MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING handling.
+ Apparently not many people are using it...
+* Fix for traversal code to put the right address into the TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE
+ if a request fails after popping a document from the history stack (this can
+ only occur if a previous request for the same document had succeeded). Also
+ don't try to send mail in such a case if MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING is on.
+ Also prevent possible history stack underflow if this occurs on return to the
+ first document.
+* According to lynx.cfg, error logging mail may be sent to ALERTMAIL if no
+ document owner is known, but this was not implemented; now it is. ALERTMAIL
+ is used if it is defined non-empty in userdefs.h. Of course normally it
+ should be left undefined.
+* Fix for traversal code to reject form fields a bit earlier. This prevents
+ unnecessary lookups as well as adding of an empty line to the
+ TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE for each form field encountered.
+* Format -crawl output as was documented in CRAWL.announce: with this switch,
+ link numbering is always off by default (userdefs.h and lynx.cfg defaults und
+ saved user preference are ignored) unless -number_links is given, and -crawl
+ -traversal format is now consistent with -crawl -dump with respect to link
+ numbering. As a side effect, -crawl without either -traversal or -dump now
+ also turns link numbering off unless -number_links is used (the meaning of
+ -crawl without either of these was undocumented), so it then acts effectively
+ as a (less powerful) negation of the -number_links switch.
+* For -crawl -dump, the list of links was appended twice. Fixed.
+* Check URL as well as title before deciding that a document should not be
+ pushed on the history stack because it looks like a generated special page.
+* Made "Don't waste the cache" optimization in historytarget() subject to
+ additional checks, to avoid uncaching of the wrong document in some cases.
+* LYSafeGets() would drop the last line from a file if it was not terminated.
+ Changed to return the unterminated line like fgets().
+* Clarifications on restrictions. "download" does not imply "disk_save" while
+ "print" does, this doesn't seem to make much sense but has been the behavior
+ for a long time.
+* Restrictions inside_news, outside_news now apply to reading as well as
+ posting. The documentation (except for the corresponding comments in
+ userdefs.h) said that they apply to posting, while in fact they were
+ implemented for reading only. [Does nobody read this stuff???] Also, the
+ implementation only checked the flag for news: URLs, but not for nntp:
+ URLs, which doesn't make much sense given that the latter provide an
+ alternative way for most (if not all) purposes of the first. So now these
+ restrictions apply to news:, nntp:, newspost:, and newsreply: (but not to
+ snews:, snewspost:, or snewsreply:).
+* Document -restrictions=externals.
+* Some of the restriction stuff not added to VMS lynx.hlp file, since I'm not
+ quite sure whether the corresponding features work there at all.
+* Changed restriction parsing so that "all" and "default" don't get ignored if
+ they appear as one of several items in the same list.
+* Implement listing of current restrictions to stdout with new -restrictions=?
+ option. This should appear as the last command line option, otherwise the
+ effect of options appearing later may not be shown. The '?' may require
+ quoting.
+* Made -restrictions= (without any option flags) act like -restrictions
+ (without equal sign either) as implied by documentation, i.e. list
+ recognized restriction options.
+* LYRestricted has been greatly abused. Once upon a time it was a PRIVATE flag
+ in LYMain.c (then called anon_restrictions_set), used only to get the
+ precedence of various command line options right. Recently it has been
+ misused as a check (and as the only one) whether "anonymous restrictions" are
+ in effect. This undermines various assumptions:
+ - that -anonymous is basically an aggregate set of restrictions which could
+ be specified individually with -restrictions=.
+ - that individually listed restrictions (-restrictions=...) act as expected,
+ and can be used to restrict various aspects in a useful manner.
+ - that -validate implies the strongest restrictions, except for what is
+ explicitly exempted (i.e. 'g'oto for http/https URLs).
+ Use specific restrictions instead:
+ - new "compileopts_info" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: - for anonymous default see
+ userdefs.h
+ - new "lynxcfg_info" for LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h
+ - new "lynxcfg_xinfo" for extended LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see
+ userdefs.h
+ - new invisible "goto_configinfo" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: & LYNXCFG: for
+ anonymous default, see userdefs.h
+ - additionally check existing "option_save" for LYNXCFG://reload/ -
+ always restricted by anonymous default
+ ("invisible" means that this restriction cannot be explicitly listed in a
+ -restrictions=... list, but has a value derived from userdefs.h that is used
+ with -anonymous and -restrictions=default.)
+* Forms options menu can now be used with -validate.
+* Allow following local help file links, even if "file_url" restriction is set,
+ from LYNXKEYMAP, LYNXCOOKIES. (Possibly more need to be added.)
+* Apparently realm checking (with -realm option) is bypassed for URLs from
+ (some) form submissions (it seems to be intentional, but why?). Made sure
+ this at least doesn't weaken -validate restrictions.
+* Apply -localhost check in getfile for news URLs that include a hostname,
+ i.e., that begin with with "news://".
+* Add '&' to nonalphanumeric characters forbidden by exec_ok() for lynxexec and
+ lynxprog URLs, but keep allowing it for lynxcgi. There's not much point in
+ excluding ';' and so on if '&' is acceptable!
+* Tweaked LYNXMESSAGES: handling slightly: don't bypass normal getfile
+ handling.
+* Reset LYforce_no_cache flag in mainloop() after failed access, before popping
+ the previous (or, actually, probably currently still displayed) document.
+* Tweak for 'no data' handling: it isn't always an error, but was sometimes
+ treated as such. It mostly doesn't make a difference, except for the message
+ printed when the startfile cannot be accessed and for traversal and mail
+ error logging. This needs to be revised to apply for all protocols.
+* Added new functionality for rules: Redirect, UseProxy, various others. See
+ cernrules.txt in samples directory for details.
+* Prevent crashes in HTNews.c with HEAD.
+* Allow HEAD requests for proxied URLs (checking whether any applicable proxy
+ begins with http: or lynxcgi:), as far as this can be determined based on
+ regular environment settings (i.e. unaware of proxying by rules).
+* Modified add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from a
+ DOWNLOADER/UPLOADER/EXTERNAL line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed FALSE. This
+ modifies the change of 1998-10-17 to be on the safer side, it is more
+ consistent with how PRINTER lines or lines with the colon separator present
+ but the flag value absent are handled, and it only makes a difference when a
+ -restriction command line option or its equivalent is in effect anyway.
+* Deal with unusual cases where telnet and similar protocols are proxied, or
+ possibly changed to a different type of protocol by rules. Normally such
+ protocols should never be proxied, but there was no protection against it,
+ and lynx could crash. The approach now taken does not disallow it, but just
+ tries to deal with the situation in a way that avoids crashing; it is
+ conceivable that one may want to direct e.g. telnet or rlogin URLs to a HTTP
+ page that explains why these types are not supported. A similar problem
+ that occurred when e.g. telnet was forbidden by a rule is also dealt with.
+* Protect start_curses calls in getfile against being executed if
+ dump_output_immediately is in effect. Maybe access to telnet, rlogin,
+ lynxexec URLs should be completely disabled for this case; skipping the
+ start_curses at least avoids being left with non-restored tty settings after
+ the program exits, is someone attempts to use -dump or -source with such a
+ URL (the -dump or -source flags is then effectively more or less ignored).
+* Tweaks in fix_http_urls, renamed fix_httplike_urls.
+* Moved LYStrerror from LYStrings.{h,c} to HTAlert.{h,c}, so that it can be
+ used in HT*.c files without pulling in yet more LY*.h headers.
+* Reset 'safe' flag in anchor on parsing "Safe: no" and "Safe: false" headers.
+* The top makefile.in had some 'rm -rf' for whole directories $(helpdir) and
+ $(docdir) in install targets that could potentially wipe out unrelated files;
+ added checks to make sure the directories haven't been changed to something
+ not lynx-specific (they are regarded as lynx-specific if the last component
+ is lynx_help and lynx_doc, respectively).
+* Various doc tweaks.
+* Updated README.defines. Other contributors should please add their stuff
+ there, too.
+* Additional non-option args (before the last one), i.e. URLs or filenames,
+ are made available for 'g'oto recall. If unwanted, this can be disabled by
+ changing EXTENDED_STARTFILE_RECALL in LYMain.c -KW
+* In UCChangeTerminalCodepage() used for --enable-font-switch with linux: use
+ LYOpenTemp() etc. instead of tempnam(), this avoids "Invalid pointer" with
+ LY_FIND_LEAKS and avoids leaving old temporary files hanging around in some
+ situations. Also added some error checking -KW

+
+1999-05-31 (2.8.2pre.10)
+* add links to HTML'ized lynxcfg to users' guide -LP
+* cleanup temporary files left by

+* delineate URL's in README with "<URL:" and ">", with space in lynx.man -LV
+* add some comments to lynx.lss -TD
+* minor improvements to configure script: use newer config.guess and

+ by Peter Jones <jones.peter@uqam.ca>) -TD
+
+1999-05-29 (2.8.2pre.9)
+* use StrAllocCopy rather than HTSprintf in LYstore_message() because no
+ formatting is done there; the message may contain formatting controls such as
+ %s (related to bug report by Frederic L W Meunier <fredlwm@urbi.com.br>) -TD
+* add/use function LYRenamedTemp() to update our record of temporary filename
+ when using external decompression program, so we will remove the decompressed
+ file correctly on exit. This is the usual case if we do not link with zlib
+ (reported by HN) -TD
+* modify LYValidateFilename() to derive original directory preferably from
+ Current_Dir() rather than environment variable $PWD, since the $PWD directory
+ may not be writable if Lynx is invoked from another application rather than
+ directly from the command line -TD
+* add/use function Current_Dir(), to check for failure in getcwd/getwd -TD
+* change ALL_LINGUAS assignment in configure script to use the .po file which
+ actually reside in the po directory, making it simpler to drop/add message
+ files from a distribution of Lynx. Also, make the assignment contingent on
+ ALL_LINGUAS not being set externally, making it simple to override -TD
+
+1999-05-28 (2.8.2pre.8)
+* when reloading/reparsing the document with forms, issue a warning only when
+ user input is detected (forms content is changed from its default so

+* remove unneeded float from integer calculations -LP
+* move comment for 'const' off the definition line, to simplify debugging
+ configure problem on HPUX for David Eaton -TD
+* move LYGetYX() out of conditional expression, just in case it cannot be

+* make install for COPYHEADER and COPYING work when the build directory is not
+ the top source directory -PG
+* add check to FastTrimColorClass() to avoid updating stylename and pointer
+ into it when the tag to be trimmed is not found (fixes a core dump reported
+ by VH) -TD
+
+1999-05-25 (2.8.2pre.7)
+* update illustration of forms options menu in Lynx User Guide according to
+ current lynx output -LP
+* old-style options menu: hot key for "local e(X)ecution links" is now
+ displayed in bold (call addlbl() instead of addstr() like the other options
+ do), adapted from Hiroyuki diffs -LP
+* fix handling of incorrect html in psrc mode. If a piece of html matched the
+ pattern "<known_tag_name unknown_attr_name any_attr_name>", then styles of
+ internal markup were unbalanced - resulted in cluttered colors -VH
+* comment-out (for release) configure option --enable-libjs -TD
+* change configure script defaults for --enable-persistent-cookies and
+ --enable-alt-bindings to 'yes' -TD
+* add DESTDIR variable to top-level makefile to facilitate packaging releases
+ with compiled-in pathnames -TD
+* further correction to VMS pathname in HFTPLoad.c, to translate /vms/fileserv/
+ to [vms.fileserv], for example. The wku fileserver gives back a Unix-style
+ listing rather than VMS-style when given a Unix-style CWD, which confuses
+ Lynx into discarding the listing (reported by Andy Harper) -TD
+* modify LYCookies.c to append new items to the end of the list rather than
+ at the start, so cookies will be written and read from .lynx_cookies in
+ consistent order (reported by KED) -TD
+
+1999-05-24 (2.8.2pre.6)
+* fix for problem reported by LP -VH
+ Load an html file with META charset and switch "\" to source mode. Now press
+ ^R to reload:
+ (1) In -prettysrc case you got a broken document (charset will be assumed by
+ lynx from assume_charset or assume_local_charset, not from a META charset
+ which was previously pushed with LYPushAssumed() so you get a problem with
+ 8bit documents when assume_charset != META charset).
+ (2) Without -prettysrc you got a document handled properly via META charset
+ assumption. Now if you press ^R again you will get a broken document.
+* LYK_SOURCE & HTreparse_document(): when using SOURCE_CACHE_MEMORY fix tiny
+ charset problem when switching to the source mode and the original document
+ have its charset specified. Now aligned with SOURCE_CACHE_NONE and
+ SOURCE_CACHE_FILE. More LYK_SOURCE fixes that might affect next coming
+ document in come cases (mainly Info page and Options menu, which now show
+ correct charset information) -LP
+* add CTRACE_FLUSH call before fork() in NSL_FORK logic so child's messages
+ will not mess parent ones -LP
+* add a few trace messages -LP
+* HTReadProgress message now display statusline properly in TRACE mode
+ (was always broken since early HTReadProgress days) -LP
+* install COPYING and COPYRIGHT for install-help rule as well as install-doc,
+ so we can refer to local copies of those files -TD
+* tweak HTParse trace message -LP
+* minor formatting change for Lynx_users_guide.html -SH
+* correct a few mismatches between variable declarations (char vs BOOLEAN)
+ (adapted from win32 version by Hiroyuki Senshu <senshu@shonai-cit.ac.jp>) -TD
+
+1999-05-20 (2.8.2pre.5)
+* correct links to COPYHEADER and COPYING in about_lynx.html, by pointing to

+* chartrans: cpXXXX Microsoft codepages verified against ftp.unicode.org -
+ apparently cp1256 (Arabic) was updated recently. Although Arabic letters are
+ hardly useful for lynx (no right-to-left support) this codepage is supported
+ under chrtrans. So update, just for fun -LP
+* fix core dump when starting "lynx LYNXOPTIONS:" command. All phases of forms
+ options logic now handled by postoptions(): LYNXOPTIONS:/ without post_data
+ create a page (gen_options() now PRIVATE), LYNXOPTIONS:/ with post_data do
+ process changes as before. Also LYK_ADD_BOOKMARK fixed: forms options page
+ will not be added to bookmarks file -LP
+* modify HTGetRelLinkNum(), removing increment of HText_getTopOfScreen() value

+ 'g' are unmodified; other calls revert to the older behavior (recommended by
+ KW) -TD
+* add/use string functions that make EBCDIC comparisons sort in the ASCII

+* when STARTFILE cannot not be loaded, lynx now exits with more understandable
+ status messages: all important statusline messages are now printed to
+ stderr/stdout -LP
+* add definition for _DECC_V4_SOURCE for VMS SOCKETSHR_TCP configuration to
+ top-level and ./src build*.com files (reported by Andy Harper) -TD
+* change UNKNOWN_URL_TYPE to 1, to keep it distinct from NOT_A_URL_TYPE, fixes
+ an error introduced when changing UrlTypes to an enum (reported by KW) -TD
+
+1999-05-12 (2.8.2pre.3)
+* add DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE makefile flag so all documents will be cached in
+ SOURCE_CACHE mode, including local files. Normally undef'ed so only http
+ served documents cached with sources -LP
+* in LYK_HISTORY, set newdoc.link = 1 so position at link #2 bypassing "recent
+ statusline messages" link -LP
+* comment out "partial_thres=" option in .lynxrc (it was coded so the changes
+ from lynx.cfg file could not be activated) -LP
+* add a sanity check to LYCurses.h to point out problems with the FANCY_CURSES
+ configure checks -TD
+* fix uninitialized pointer used in decoding of -term switch (patch by Sergey

+* ifdef'd includes for HTUtils.h to limit size of preprocessor listings with
+ DEC C; verify that all header files include definitions needed for their
+ contents -TD
+* add docs/OS-390.announce (Paul Gilmartin)
+* add fallback extern declaration for h_errno to HTTCP.c for systems that have
+ that variable but do not declare it (reported by Jean-Pierre Radley
+ <jpr@jpr.com> for SCO OpenServer 5.0.5) -BL
+* correct SortaSGML element info: SPAN can contain SPAN -KW
+* fix several small memory leaks (John Bley):
+ + minor (~ 7 bytes) leak in LYCookie.c
+ + leak in the warning message about invalid cookies
+ + obvious leak in do_readme
+ + small leak in dired_options (LYLocal.c)
+ + leak with -selective option in HTFile.c

+* fix buffer problems with long filenames and custom DOWNLOADERs -John Bley
+* fix typical alloc-fail-return-error-without-free leakage in
+ save_bookmark_link (LYBookmark.c) -John Bley
+* modify generated WWW/*/makefile and src/chrtrans/makefile to omit include
+ from intl directory if it is not used (report by LP) -TD
+* add configure test for h_errno, by splitting CF_ERRNO macro and reusing
+ test for external data. Noticed that DECL_ERRNO was not defined/used,
+ added that as well. The h_errno symbol is provided in some network
+ libraries, e.g., on SCO and Linux, but may/may not be declared (report
+ by BL) -TD
+* fix some serious lossage in lookup_reject (LYTraversal.c): memory and
+ logic errors. This (replaced) line is one for the record books:
+ frag = strlen(buffer) - 1; /* real length, minus trailing null */
+ Previously, this code caused a read before an array boundary as well as
+ failing to compare the right number of characters in a pattern -John Bley
+* fix some minor leakage in the cookie jar -John Bley
+* fix up some casts and mode_t types in HTAAProt.c, HTFile.c, LYLocal.c,
+ LYUtils.c -John Bley
+
+1999-05-05 (2.8.2dev.26 - 2.8.2pre.1)

+ default path) -John Bley
+* correct a buffer overflow in LYDownload.c (reported by John Bley) -TD
+* 8bit attribute values are now translated in psrc view (reported by LP) -VH

+* fixes for LYList.c, adding title info to the (mostly unused) HTLinkType -KW
+* change remaining <banner>'s to <blockquote> in other html files, fix

+* remove dangling comma in UrlTypes enum (reported by Paul Gilmartin) -TD
+* make description of STARTFILE in userdefs.h agree with lynx.cfg -TD
+* fix: newline position when we come from the history stack and cached HText
+ is used (say, return from 'p'rint menu), was broken in dev23 -LP
+* remove numerous HTMLSetCharacterHandling() calls from getfile(), use single
+ call in mainloop instead -LP
+* #define PUTS() in LYCookie.c and LYMap.c to make code more readable -LP
+* fix: LYmouse_menu() in LYStrings.c calls popup_choice(), which is #ifdef'd
+ out when --disable-menu-options is used (patch by Sergey Svishchev)
+* modify generated src/makefile to omit include from intl directory if it is
+ not used. This in turn required fixing a redefinition of gettext on Solaris
+ when using cc, since the locale.h file includes Sun's libintl.h file which
+ prototypes gettext. Successfully built/ran using Sun's msgfmt utility, (had
+ to manually add -lintl to src/makefile) though the generated message objects
+ are incompatible, resulting in a core dump if not reinstalled (unnecessary
+ include reported by LP) -TD
+* change VMS WWW descrip.mms file to use prefix=all rather than prefix=ansi, so
+ that POSIX functions such as 'read()' are linked properly (reported by Andy
+ Harper) this is a detail I overlooked in dev.18 -TD
+* fixes to compile with SunOS K&R cc -TD
+
+1999-04-27 (2.8.2dev.25)
+* updates to INSTALLATION -HN
+* undo some redundant dev23 changes, in particular PSRC_TEST in HText_new
+ was responsible for a wrong line breaking in -prettysrc mode
+ (try "lynx . -prettysrc" and press "\" to see wrapping with altered
+ define). Also fix Visited Links for internal pages -LP
+* restore links in lynx-dev.html to original form, to make redirection work
+ properly -TD
+* add to MAKEFILE.W32 (untested - suggested by LP) -TD
+ * definitions for DISP_PARTIAL;SOURCE_CACHE;USE_PSRC
+ * lypretty.obj to the list of objects.
+* remove CF_MAKE_INCLUDE from configure script, since it is not needed -TD
+* merge WWW/Library/Implementation/CommonMakefile into WWW/.../makefile.in -TD
+* corrections/simplification of LYSafeGets(), and remove sizeof(buf) from
+ related code in LYCookie.c (analysis by KW) -TD
+
+1999-04-23 (2.8.2dev.24)
+* added overlooked WWW/Library/Implementation/makefile.in -TD
+1999-04-23 (2.8.2dev.23)
+* add/use new function LYSafeGets to replace reads into fixed-size buffers -TD
+* change xxxx_URL_TYPE definitions in LYUtils.h to a enum -TD
+* use HTSprintf0 in LYCurses.c, LYReadCFG.c -TD
+* implement restrictions on options that can be set via the lynx.cfg "include"
+ directive -VH
+ For example, admins may specify
+ include:~/.lynx/colors:COLOR
+ include:~/.lynx/keymap:KEYMAP
+ include:~/.lynx/viewers:VIEWER
+ safely - and be sure that no critical options were altered by those files.
+ The syntax is
+ include:<filename>[:[<OPTNAME>* ] ]
+ More samples:
+ include:~/.lynx/rc:COLOR KEYMAP VIEWER SUFFIX
+ include:/usr/local/lib/lynx-cfg.part: #all settings can be changed
+ The patch does this:
+ * It prints warnings to stderr about unknown options specified in the list of
+ allowed options in include command. When 'o'->'lynx.cfg'->'RELOAD THE
+ CHANGES' is activated, these warnings are also printed on stderr - so the
+ screen will be corrupted if lynx.cfg and included are incorrect.
+ * Only options, allowed for a given file are printed in
+ 'o'->'lynx.cfg'->'RELOAD THE CHANGES'.
+ * Fully backward compatible - lines of the form
+ include:filename
+ will work as they did(i.e., if the list of allowed options is not
+ specified, then the included file can use the same set of options, as the
+ file that contained that 'include' command).
+ * If you wish to allow an included file to
+ include others, you must specify 'include' in the list of allowed options.
+ Sample:
+ include:~/.lynx/suffixes:INCLUDE SUFFIX
+ so that users will be able to use 'include' command in '~/.lynx/suffixes'
+ (otherwise included file will be unable to include anything).
+ * Option sets are ANDed. If file lynx.cfg contains:
+ include:/usr/lib/lynx.cfg.0:COLOR SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE
+ and /usr/lib/lynx.cfg.0 contains
+ include:/usr/lib/lynx.cfg.1:SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE STARTFILE HELPFILE
+ then /usr/lib/lynx.cfg.1 can use the following options:
+ SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE
+* change the STARTFILE description in lynx.cfg to offer the user's home
+ directory as an alternative to lynx.browser.org (amended this to reflect
+ consensus that l.b.o should be the default) -TD
+* move a big chunk of code into print_status_message() -LP
+* also add numerous HTProgress messages to LYNXMESSAGES:/ page (but not
+ HTReadProgress) -LP
+* HTAlert, HTUserMsg and HTInfoMsg statusline messages are now stored in a
+ cycled buffer and accessible from the History Page as LYNXMESSAGES:/ link.
+ This allows us to decrease the messages delay in lynx.cfg when we feel
+ messages too annoying, but have a nice history list for diagnostic purposes.
+ Uses a 40-line buffer (suggested by Bela Lubkin) -LP
+* fix reloading with HTreparse_document() for LYK_MINIMAL, LYK_HISTORICAL,
+ LYK_SOFT_DQUOTES, LYK_SWITCH_DTD mainloop events (hope we work around replies
+ from POST properly) -LP
+* elaborate description in Lynx_users_guide.html for "comments" (Michael
+ Sobolev <mss@transas.com>)
+* fix --disable-trace (by making the ifdef's directly depend on NO_LYNX_TRACE
+ rather than DEBUG), chop more unneeded #includes -John Bley
+* combine WWW/Library/unix and WWW/Library/Implementation to simplify make
+ dependencies, drop Makefile.old -TD
+* fixes for DOS port - DK
+ (a) When exiting with interrupt, the message was printed in binary mode,
+ leaving the cursor in the middle of the screen
+ (b) In the PDCurses build, the keypad enter key only worked when LYK_ACTIVATE
+ was utilized, but not in GOTOLINK or GOTOPAGE. This maps the keypad
+ enter to '\n', so it works in all situations, but keypad enter will no
+ longer be able to be mapped separately. CTRL-PADENTER and ALT-PADENTER
+ can still be separately mapped.
+* various changes to userdefs.h and lynx.cfg explanatory text -KW
+* corrected placement of "partial_thres" code in LYrcFile.c, removed an unused
+ prototype in LYUtils.h -KW
+* add a note about LYNX_SAVE_SPACE to INSTALLATION -JES
+* remove docs/*.old (request by HN) -TD
+* update INSTALLATION notes for DJGPP with PDCurses; a suggested patch is
+ no longer applicable -DK
+* fixes for control/C and control/BREAK handling on DJGPP -DK
+* tweak in HTML_start_element case HTML_DT: prevent generation of empty line
+ between multiple simple DT elements without intervening DD elements (Debian
+ bug #3846) -KW
+* add list of downloaders to lynx_help_main.html -PW
+* add attributes for {bq,blockquote}.cite,{frame,iframe,img}.longdesc,
+ {table,td}.background, td.{height,width} -VH
+* define DISP_PARTIAL for VMS (request by Andy Harper) -TD
+* include <unistd.h> for DEC C, to prototype sleep() and alarm(). Ifdef'd
+ include of HTString.h by HTUtils.h, but keep include as general rule for
+ making headers standalone (report by Andy Harper) -TD
+* modified LYrcFile.c to avoid putting '#' characters at the beginning of
+ lines, since that confuses VAX C (report by Tony Bolton) -TD
+* fix redefinition of h_errno (report by Tony Bolton) -TD
+* ifdef'd print_local_dir in HTFile.c since this function does not compile on
+ VMS (report by Andy Harper, Tony Bolton) -TD
+* fix reload_read_cfg() to avoid persistent cookies mode changing at run time;
+ reload printers list, downloaders list, environments - as expected - LP
+* fixes for SOURCE_CACHE!=NONE mode, trying to accommodate HTreparse_document()
+ for mainloop() events:
+ - add/use flag "from_source_cache" for better mainloop maintenance
+ - add partial display mode for HTreparse_document() operations
+ - add warning when the reparsed document may lose its forms content
+ - fix options menu stuff to use HTreparse_document() when possible - LP
+* fix exit from postoptions() when the reloaded document was in source mode -LP
+* update flags to correct behavior with SOURCE_CACHE!=NONE: the length of the
+ re-rendered text may vary so the scrolling down is broken (especially nice
+ when switching to source). ("more" updated, "lines_in_file" inlined) -LP
+* use configure script macro CF_CHECK_CACHE to compile-in Unix SYSTEM_NAME,
+ for info screen (request by LP) -TD
+* minor fixes for uncaching document, other items missed in dev.22 -LP
+* merge the two versions of start_curses() function -LP
+* add -DSOURCE_CACHE and -DUSE_PSRC to djgpp makefiles -LP
+* add a few words for CHANGES and INSTALLATION -LP
+* add a configure option for prettysrc -TD
+* separate ifdef's for prettysrc from color-style -LP
+* fix for -prettysrc: when pressing '\' on non-local files, the prettysrc view
+ is shown, but there is no way out of this mode -VH
+* change all PUTS() with a string of length 1 to PUTC(), fix a uid_t/int
+ assumption in LYLocal.c, remove some unneeded #includes, remove some spurious

+
+1999-04-13 (2.8.2dev.22)
+* correct a missing include for LYLeaks.h in UCAuto.c -TD
+* implement HTML source caching. In this implementation, each document kept in
+ cache has associated with it a temporary file containing the HTML source for
+ the document (well, not all of them -- only those using the HTTP protocol, on
+ the premise that file:// documents are probably local and ftp:// documents
+ are probably not HTML). The temporary file is deleted when the document is
+ uncached. For certain operations, instead of reloading the document via
+ HTLoad<mumble>(), the source file is reparsed with HTParseFile(). The cached
+ document also remembers certain parser settings (screen size, historical vs.
+ minimal vs. valid comment parsing, and the like), and is regenerated from
+ source if it is fetched out of cache under different settings. This behavior
+ is selectable by a configure option --enable-source-cache and by a lynx.cfg
+ option SOURCE_CACHE; I didn't add a command-line argument or an options menu
+ entry, as this didn't seem to be the sort of thing one would want to change
+ You had to challenge me, didn't you? ;) Okay, after some pfutzing around
+ with HTChunks, I think I've got a working version of memory caching of
+ source. The SOURCE_CACHE option now has settings FILE, MEMORY and NONE, with
+ the obvious meanings, defaulting to NONE. (DSB - Scott Bigham
+ <dsb@cs.duke.edu>)
+* amend HTConfirmDefault() logic so that a second character will cause the
+ default response to be returned, e.g,. so that pressing "qq" will make
+ Lynx exit (reported by John Bley) - TD
+* change the PUTS("\n") calls in HTFile.c to PUTC('\n') since that would be
+ a little more efficient (noted by KW) - TD
+* minor cleanup: remove obsolete parameters from command-line parsing functions
+ in LYMain.c, add newlines in HTFile.c for readability of html - LP
+* change default STARTFILE to the current directory, "." - PW
+* revised lynx-dev.html - PW
+* lynx.cfg and further included cfg files can be edited from LYNXCFG:/ page
+ with the default editor and changes can be activated for the same lynx
+ session. NOT allowed for restricted users (LYRestricted) and occasionally
+ for user mode other than ADVANCED. This is an *experimental* code
+ (reload_read_cfg() in LYMain.c - more work required): currently command-line
+ switches may be lost when overridden by lynx.cfg changes, file paths like
+ lynx_save_space and LYCookieFile should not be changed (unwanted results) -LP
+* retest PARSE_DEBUG ifdef's (LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c), minor corrections
+ but found no specific reason for LP's problem with tables, except possibly
+ different effect from "&(value)" versus "(&value)" - TD
+* fix the problem of reading included lynx.cfg files by changing LYReadCFG.c
+ table signature (now it is more close to one in LYMain.c). The problem was
+ the ignoring of *some* values got from the included cfg file (at least for
+ DJGPP2.02/gcc2.8.1 build). Probably we calculate the addresses of variables
+ on a later stage now. - LP
+* DOSPATH changes: local directory style now configurable from lynx.cfg
+ (LONG_LIST defined). Unlike UNIX it is not "ls -l" by default
+ but a more compact form (date and size present, from lynx.cfg example) - LP
+* cookies: domains now match case insensitively (reported by Paul Wagner
+ <paul.wagner@mci.com>) - LP
+* correct an ifdef in LYGetFile.c for config-page - LP
+* reading of long local directories now benefits from partial mode and fully
+ interruptible. Split out print_local_dir() function from HTLoadFile() - LP
+* behave sanely if NSL_FORK fork() fails -BL
+* NSL_FORK try for dns_patience *seconds*, not dns_patience select() calls,
+ which might have been shortened by keyboard input -BL
+* fix some screwy comment indentation -BL
+* add section on editing TEXTAREA to user's guide - PW
+* add a null-pointer check in LYCookie.c (Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
+* revise changes ifdef'ing LY_FIND_LEAKS by making atexit a no-op function
+ since the DOS port depends on atexit to keep the DOS BREAK function properly
+ set on exit. Put back atexit, and ifdef's each place where atexit isn't
+ needed except when finding leaks - DK
+* modify LYMain.c on DOS, fixing the determination of BREAK status to be
+ independent of SLANG or PDCurses - DK
+* spawn a new function, www_user_search_internals, to begin canceling the
+ effects of cut-n-paste coding in www_user_search. The body of
+ www_user_search_internals used to be duplicated at two points in
+ www_user_search. See comment in GridText.c for more details -John Bley
+* big pile of unneeded #includes removed -John Bley
+* remove obsolete files from the distribution -John Bley
+ WWW/Library/Implementation/HTWriter.*
+* one malloc check, fix --disable-ftp -John Bley
+* fixes for compiler warnings when building for OpenVMS 6.2 using DEC C and the
+ SOCKETSHR library (reported by Andy Harper) - TD
+* add cpp -H option for HPUX bundled C compiler, which otherwise does not
+ have enough symbol table space (reported by JES). Also, modify ifdef's
+ for <stdarg.h> vs <varargs.h> to avoid including the former when ANSI_VARARGS
+ is not defined since HPUX had a broken <stdarg.h> - TD
+* changed OMIT_SCN_KEEPING ifdef to 0 (inactive) in LYCurses.c and in HTML.c,
+ still enabling the Style_className:HTML.c keeping and making lynx with lss
+ slightly slower than it could be (though faster then dev21). If somebody
+ wishes to fix a bug, here is a description: If contents of some tag that has
+ corresponding color style occupies more than 2 screens, after navigating to
+ the page, on which the content of that block starts, and then pressing PGDN
+ PGDN PGUP, the effect (color style) of that tag will be lost. The same
+ (losing style) happens when jumping to the anchor that is in such block and
+ is located not on the 1st page. IMO this is something with style stack. If
+ this will be fixed, then keeping of Style_className:HTML.c can be omitted
+ again -VH
+* fixed the bug in lynx with lss support -when displaying html pieces such as
+ <b> A <b> B </b> C </b>, only 'AB' was drawn in style corresponding to
+ <b> -VH
+* added HTML source syntax highlighting (when option -prettysrc that is added
+ is given to lynx). It's available for lynx compiled with and without lss
+ support (it can be much more beautiful when compiled with lss support - read
+ lynx.cfg for description). The code is ifdef'ed with USE_PSRC.
+ This functionality coexists with old source view and with -preparsed logic
+ (ie different commandline options make source view logic different) -VH
+* HTChunkPutc was inlined in SGML.c for better performance -VH
+* keeping of Style_className was omitted in HTML.c to increase performance of
+ lynx compiled with lss support -VH
+* performance of lynx compiled with lss support is increased ~ by 15-20% for
+ normal documents, and by up to 50% for documents with a lot of tags -VH
+* fixed bug in lynx compiled with lss support that caused it to load local CSS
+ stylesheets - lynx didn't understand their syntax so it was exiting -VH
+* added type information for attributes in HTMLDTD.c (it's used in source
+ syntax highlighting mode) -VH
+* sample .lss files are updated to support source syntax highlighting -VH

+ help message (much lynx-dev discussion) - TD
+* remove outdated link to the WebTechs HTML Validation Service from help menu
+ and change link to more suitable location for rfc1945 - PW
+* correct logic of --disable-full-paths configure option (reported by Georg
+ Schwarz) - TD
+* fix problems building on OpenVMS with DECC 6.2 -TD
+ (reported by Andy Harper <Andy.Harper@kcl.ac.uk>)
+ + remove 'DEBUG' definition from build scripts since it is defined in
+ the source code.
+ + turn off code that tries to use getpwuid(), by defining NOUSERS, since
+ those functions are not present on VMS.
+ + provide a dummy location for h_errno for systems without that symbol.
+ + correct string syntax in VMSexit function
+ + ifdef'd use of lynx_version_putenv_command in LYMain.c
+ + correct spurious parenthesis in mailform function
+ + correct missing COPY_PATH definition for LYUtils.c
+* check for 'z' user interrupt in HTLoadHTTP before setting up the output
+ stream. This avoids doing unnecessary work, including possible creation of a
+ new HText structure that most likely is never displayed but still pushes
+ another document out of the. cache. Most commonly this occurs when a HTTP
+ error response is received and the user presses 'z' while the resulting alert
+ message is shown - KW
+* fix of HTUnEscapeSome in HTParse.c for non-ASCII - KW, PG
+* tidy up around ed_offset initialization in GridText.c - KED
+ (the patch as given did not compile on a non-ANSI compiler because it used
+ aggregate initialization - TD)
+* add samples/mild-colors.lss (Vlad Harchev)
+* add samples/blue-background.lss (from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>)
+* documentation updates for INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS - PW
+* use HTConfirm and HTConfirmDefault to gettext'ify CONFIRM_BOOKMARK_DELETE,
+ CONFIRM_COMMENT, CONFIRM_LONG_PAGE_PRINT, CONFIRM_LONG_SCREEN_PRINT,
+ CONFIRM_MAIL_SOURCE_PREPARSED, CONFIRM_MAIN_SCREEN, FILE_EXISTS_HPROMPT,
+ FILE_EXISTS_OPROMPT, NO_OWNER_USE, PREV_DOC_QUERY, REALLY_EXIT_N,
+ REALLY_EXIT_Y, REALLY_QUIT_N, REALLY_QUIT_Y (based on report by LP) - TD
+* at LYNXCFG:/ page, add links for every included configuration file so we can
+ read and edit them (no, currently the changes will be active the next session
+ only. Minor reorganization of LYMain.c done, more required) - LP
+* correct test/spaces.html - it should not be in a <PRE> mode by default - LP
+* undo recent &emsp; changes so it is a single space as before (suggested by
+ KW) - LP
+* add ETag anchor element (currently not used, only for information) - LP
+* assign LYNXCFG:/ and LYNXCOMPILEOPTS:/ for internal pages of parsed lynx.cfg
+ and compile-time info. Now we will not see a temp file link name in a
+ statusline in advanced mode, also kill overhead since pages created only when
+ really accessed - LP
+* form-based options menu: the bug described in 1999-03-17 changes now finally
+ fixed - LP
+* fix expanding entities for x-transparent display charset
+ (was broken from 1999-03-04 changes) - LP
+* trimmed trailing blanks from *.tbl, fixed chrtrans/def7_uni.tbl and
+ chrtrans/viscii_uni.tbl, ensure that it produces correct result - TD
+* chrtrans/def7_uni.tbl - entries with trailing spaces now explicitly enclosed
+ in quotes to avoid problems with integrating the patches sent by e-mail,

+* attempt to implement --disable-ftp -John Bley
+* fix tiny memory leak in HTAAUtil.c -John Bley
+* chop useless #includes from LYHash.c, LYExtern.c, LYCurses.h -John Bley
+* --disable-news was also disabling ftp, --disable-finger without

+* add notes about $CC variable to INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS - JES, PW
+* tweak for TABLE formatting: break line at </TR> end tag (don't wait
+ for next <TR> start tag), effective in SortaSGML mode only - KW
+* lots of color style changes, only effective if compiled with USE_COLOR_STYLE;
+ together they seem to make color styles act much more reliably and
+ consistently - KW
+ - Moved some extern definitions and declarations.
+ - Made extra handling for LINK REL (or TITLE) attributes consistent
+ with example lynx.lss file.
+ - More complete (and hopefully more consistent) setting of "normal"
+ attributes, especially background color, on screen refresh and after
+ statusline messages. Set normal attributes for statusline prompts.
+ - Various other small tweaks, mostly to not lose color changes in a
+ document and to avoid color leaking.
+ - Attributes for highlighting WHEREIS search targets can be controlled
+ by setting style for "whereis" in lynx.lss.
+ - Allow mono attribute field in lynx.lss to be a combination of several
+ attributes separated by '+' characters.
+ - Changes of example lynx.lss file: more logical ordering, added some
+ comments, document new stuff. Changed a few styles for demonstration
+ purposes or because text was really hard to read.
+* apply color styles to HTML source display, using the same methods as
+ for displaying the rendered version. This is done if and only if
+ the -preparsed flag is used (and lynx is compiled with -DUSE_COLOR_STYLE,
+ of course). Please remember that the source displayed with -preparsed
+ is *not* the same as the original text/html document, it has been
+ mangled by lynx (as the name implies) and may itself not be a valid
+ HTML document even if the original was - KW
+* changed some slightly suspicious casts in HText_endAnchor's casting hell;
+ prefer to cast a line's size element to (int), rather than various int
+ variables to (unsigned) - KW
+* remove some unnecessary use of dynamic buffers where there is no apparent
+ benefit for using them, for the sake of performance or to avoid a minor
+ memory leak - KW
+* stuffed small memory leak (MultipartContentType) - KW
+* absorb 'len' parameter into logic of argncmp, so it still achieves its
+ purpose of comparing prefixes of options without undue maintenance effort -TD
+* retain logic that uses final URL on command-line (request by KW) - TD
+* add/use new functions argcmp and argncmp to allow the use of '--' prefix as
+ well as '-' for commandline options. This means that '-localhost' and
+ '--localhost' mean the same thing for lynx. If EXTENDED_OPTION_LOGIC is
+ defined then the extended commandline option logic will be used. It means
+ that '--' will be accepted and will be treated as an end of options.
+ Anything after it will be treated as URL even if begins with '-' or '--'
+ (Vlad Harchev)
+* correct some typos in docs and in scripts (Vlad Harchev <hvv@hippo.ru>)
+* modify generated sed script to handle special case of alt_edit_help.html,
+ which was being rendered in --enable-gzip-help as alt_edit_help.html.gz.gz
+ (reported by KED) - TD
+* modify lynx_help/help_files.txt to update links to gzip'd versions of
+ alt_edit_help.html, environments.html, test_display.html - KED
+* tweak for SGML_LITTERAL (sic) parsing, so that the first nonmatching
+ character after the beginning of a putative end tag goes through character
+ translation - KW
+* add some more pieces of info (if available) to '=' page in advanced user
+ mode. Also show mode as "source" instead of "normal" if viewing SOURCE, in
+ all user modes - KW
+* minor FASTBACKW_LINK / FASTFORW_LINK tweaks - KW
+* removed documentation for nonimplemented chargen URLs - KW
+* remove num_n256 hack introduced in dev18 UCDomap.* - LP
+* forms-based options menu: fix reloading of previous document *only* when
+ necessary (was always, since early forms-based options menu days). Still
+ have a bug - while submitting the options menu lynx reload menu again, but
+ this is much faster to load small local file twice than fetch previous
+ (possible large) document over the net. - LP
+* &mdash; (&#x2014) now display as "--" (popular requests) - LP
+* &emsp; are now displayed as two &ensp; (popular requests),

+* minor tweaks in postoptions(), new flag added - LP
+* minor changes to make this build with SunOS K&R cc - TD
+* entities.h: clean HTML4.0 entities table added, it is #ifdef'ed with
+ ENTITIES_HTML40_ONLY (may be useful for page validation), file entities.h
+ moved to src/chrtrans directory - LP
+* save few KB of static memory by storing unicodes as 'u16' (was 'long') - LP
+* trace log toggle now really interruptible - LP

+* create a new command called ADDRLIST, which behaves exactly the same as LIST,
+ but which *should* always show only the URL's. Rather than make it a config
+ option (which would have taken me quite a bit longer to do), I've bound it to
+ the "A" key (that's a capital "A"). Why not "L" you ask? Because of the "vi
+ keys" option, whereby "l" is used for cursor movement, and "L" stays reserved
+ for L(ist) - KED
+* change the LYK_xxx keymap definitions to an enum, to simplify ifdef's - TD
+* add configure options --disable-gopher, to remove GOPHER code, and
+ --disable-trace to remove TRACE code - JES
+* modify trace log header to always inform us if anonymous restrictions are
+ set - LP
+* chartrans: old-style declarations of charsets which do not have Unicode
+ tables (CJK, x-transparent, also UTF-8) now moved from LYCharSets.c to
+ UCdomap.h and now included with UCInit() in UCdomap.c in a standard way - LP
+ (Please re-test CJK and UTF-8)
+* add configure --enable-libjs option (Lalo Martins <lalo@webcom.com>)
+* add checks for some more LINK tags as listed in "6.12 Link types" of the HTML
+ 4.0 Specification (Masayasu Ishikawa <mimasa@isoternet.org>)
+* changed the effect of some LINK tags with REL attribute of a very relative
+ character (Up, Next, Prev, ...) on titles as they appear e.g. on the LIST
+ page: the title of the target HTParentAnchor isn't being set when such a
+ LINK tag is parsed, but the relation is now stored as a property of the
+ link itself rather than its destination. The LIST page shows the relation
+ as additional info, not superseding a URL or title string obtained
+ otherwise - KW
+* move commands in top-level makefile.in which clean *.rej and *.orig from
+ 'distclean' rule to 'maintainer-clean', make distinct from the @SRCDIR_CLEAN@
+ substitution which is intended for use with the configure --srcdir option
+ (from reports by Glenn E Thobe <thobe@lafn.org> and BL) - TD
+* correct LYRemoveTemp() to close file before attempting to remove it; else
+ the remove fails on some platforms, e.g., DOS/Windows (report by KW) - TD
+* improved documentation for the new cookie options, e.g,.
+ COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, in lynx.cfg - BJP
+* fix some memory leaks in LYCookie.c - BJP
+* modify 123g (and similar movement) commands to allow for relative links,
+ e.g., by using a '+' or '-' after the 'g' - LE
+* modify help_files.sed to include '$', making regular expressions work for
+ HP-UX (Jens Schmalzing <jens@stat.physik.uni-muenchen.de>)
+* add a comment to aclocal.m4 to show where patches for autoconf, needed for
+ this configure script, can be found - JES
+* add toggling trace log on/off in partial mode, when the downloading is still
+ in progress - LP
+* more consistent docs for debugging of invalidly nested HTML: important trace
+ messages from actions on invalid tags now have '***' prefix such as "SGML:
+ ... ***ignored" (well: illegal, forced, assumed, etc.), -preparsed mode now
+ better documented - LP
+* minor code cleanup: remove redundant includes, fill in 0's for some static
+ data initialization -John Bley
+* add 'joe' editor, and variants, to list of those editors that are assumed to
+ position the file to a given line number using the "+line" command-line
+ option - IC
+* remove redundant "(y/n)" substrings from LYMessages_en.h - LV
+* add new command named GROWTEXTAREA which adds 5 new blank lines to the bottom
+ of a TEXTAREA when executed. It does not have a default binding, so you need
+ to add a KEYMAP for it in your lynx.cfg. The number of lines added is fixed
+ by a #define, but 5 seems to be a "reasonable" increment to use - KED
+* add new command named INSERTFILE, which (obviously) inserts a file's contents
+ into a TEXTAREA, just above the line the cursor is on when invoked (which
+ means you cannot insert a file *below* the final existing TEXTAREA line ...
+ but see 1) and 3) for easy ways to over- come this limitation). It too, has
+ no default binding, so a KEYMAP entry is also needed for it - KED
+* by default, when the cursor is on the last line of a TEXTAREA, if you hit the
+ ENTER key, a new line will be added to the TEXTAREA, with the cursor
+ positioned on it. If that should happen at the bottom of the screen, a
+ DOWN_HALF scroll operation is (effectively) performed - KED
+* ifdef'd this feature (since at least one person objected to this automatic
+ behavior when it was discussed awhile back - BL?), for easy disabling (and to
+ make adding a ./configure option easier). The symbol is AUTOGROW is
+ #define'd in LYMainLoop.h - KED
+* added an ifdef for the code that causes the external editor to be
+ invoked "automatically" on the TEXTAREA contents when ^Ve (or whatever
+ the EDIT binding is), rather than attempting to invoke it on the .html
+ source file. This should allow adding a ./configure option to control
+ this behavior, until we come up with a different binding/mechanism to
+ do the job, that we can all agree on. The symbol AUTOEXTEDIT is also
+ #define'd in LYMainLoop.h. The command EDITTEXTAREA is still available
+ for separate KEYMAP binding, per KW's suggestion - KED
+* check the range of chars between 0x80 and LYlowest_eightbit[current_char_set]
+ for validity against the charset in use. If such chars are detected in
+ edited or inserted data, a "." char is substituted for them, as with normal
+ control chars. (Suggested by LP) - KED
+* added KW's LYCloseTempFP bugfix - KED
+* add/use function GetFileName(), e.g., by INSERTFILE. It is fairly general
+ purpose, and can be used whenever the name of an existing file needs to be
+ input. It uses the same mechanism for filename expansion and "history" as
+ does the PRINT function - KED
+* reorganized a lot of the code into subroutines to provide for 1) and 2);
+ still need to do a bit more cleanup of some other (nearly) common code - KED
+* rename iso9945_uni.tbl to iso9945uni.tbl to accommodate 'make' programs on
+ old systems (such as CLIX 3.1) whose suffix rules fail for filenames longer
+ than 14 characters - TD
+* change VMS WWW build-script to use prefix=all rather than prefix=ansi,
+ so that POSIX functions such as 'stat()' are linked properly (reported by
+ Morris D Cox <coxmd@appstate.edu>) - TD
+* modify configure macro CF_EBCDIC to avoid using #error, since that is not
+ recognized by all compilers - TD
+* include <sys/types.h> in CF_INET_ADDR macro, to accommodate systems which
+ require that to compile test program with the socket.h, other network
+ headers - TD
+* removed a cast in free_lynx_cfg, on FREE's argument, which caused some
+ compilers to report that an rvalue was being modified (reported by PW) - TD
+
+1999-02-16 (2.8.2dev.17)

+* add note about resolv library to PROBLEMS - PW
+* minor clarification about DOS/Windows binaries in README - PW
+* modify ./makefile.in so that portions which are commented-out will be done
+ without a leading tab, since that confuses the make program on Digital Unix
+ 3.2 - TD
+* Unix: Don't accept HOME variable as valid if it does not begin with
+ a slash - KW
+* changed HTGetCharacter to be 8-bit clean, it could not distinguish between a
+ character value 255 and EOF. Changes affect several protocols: nntp,
+ gopher, finger, ftp. Most notably, news articles containing byte value 255
+ could not be completely read - KW
+* removed a memory leak in HTFTP.c for some directory data, added a few gettext
+ calls - KW
+* added ability to show file type description in local Unix directory listings.
+ New format codes for use in LIST_FORMAT %t, %T are not used by default - KW
+* modify "clean" makefile rule to allow for FreeBSD, which generates core
+ files such as lynx.core - KED, TD
+* correct sign-extension when converting characters after edit of TEXTAREA
+ (upper-128 characters were being translated to dots, reported by IC) - KED
+* worked with some pathological/boundary-case pages, and fixed some some edges
+ that could fail (eg, last line of document is also last line of a TEXTAREA,
+ and lines are being added; page containing *only* a one-line TEXTAREA field;
+ etc). While it was unlikely one would run into such beasts in real life,
+ they all work correctly now. Thanks to Greg Marr and Serge Munhov for
+ providing some very basic pages that I was able to easily modify for various
+ test cases - KED
+* added a few flags to the TextAnchor and HTLine struct's, to indicate an
+ expansion line. These were added to allow for line deletion when a TEXTAREA
+ is "reset" or shrinks (when we get around to tackling those tasks) - KED
+* the editor's cursor is now positioned on the same line in the edit file, as
+ it was on when the editor was invoked (relative to the beginning of the
+ TEXTAREA). At least for those editors that lynx knows support initial
+ positioning (emacs, vi, pico, jove, and jed for non-VMS platforms; sedt for
+ VMS) - KED
+* cleaned up and corrected a few comments; simplified a few small bits of
+ code - KED
+* added cookie_domain_flags enum to LYCookie.h, usage should be apparent with
+ patch applied - BJP
+* updated free_lynx_globals() for cookie variables - BJP
+* replaced cookie_add_acceptlist, cookie_add_rejectlist and
+ cookie_set_invcheck functions with cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP
+* saved a bit of memory by dropping useless pointer memory initialization
+ (exactly WHAT was I thinking?) - BJP
+* changed LYrcFile.c, LYReadCFG.c to call cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP
+* new lynxkeycode BACKTAB_KEY with value 0x10F. DO_NOTHING is and shall remain
+ 0x10E, as documented in lynx.cfg. Moved MOUSE_KEY out of the way - does it
+ need to be in the tables at all? BACKTAB_KEY will be recognized if the
+ (n)curses keypad() input handling returns KEY_BTAB, which happens if the
+ terminal description has the right kB or kcbt capability string and the
+ terminal actually generates that string (often "^[[Z", generated for
+ shift+tab). May also work with lynx-keymaps mechanism. Not tested with
+ slang, maybe this has to be added to some more of the various tables in
+ LYStrings.c - KW
+* new user-visible key commands FASTFORW_LINK and FASTBACKW_LINK, with
+ lynxactionscodes LYK_FASTFORW_LINK and LYK_FASTBACKW_LINK. By default mapped
+ from <tab> key (^I) and new BACKTAB_KEY, respectively. Previously <tab> was
+ mapped from NEXT_LINK, which has some special handling if the invoking key
+ was <tab> (and if FASTTAB was defined in LYMainLoop.c, which was the case by
+ default). The old behavior of <tab> is still available if it is mapped with
+ KEYMAP to NEXT_LINK in lynx.cfg - KW
+* these commands always go to a previous (or next) link if there is one,
+ and skip multiple lines that are part of the same textarea - KW
+* recognize the new key actions also during partial file display, for some
+ roughly corresponding movement - KW
+* new lynxeditactioncode LYE_FORM_PASS, to allow any lynxkeycode to end the
+ editing of a form field and be passed up to the caller - it will then
+ normally be mapped to a lynxactioncode. LYE_FORM_PASS keys are generally
+ ignored in non-forms line editing. This is used for BACKTAB_KEY, as well as
+ several other keys that were previously handled specially in form_getstr - KW
+* extended the maps in LYEditmap.c to cover the same range of lynxkeycodes as
+ the LYKeymap.c tables. Yes, this uses more space, but the tables need to be
+ consistent - KW
+* map lynxkeycode 0x00 to LYK_DO_NOTHING, as lynx.cfg said all the time - KW
+* some tweaks of displayed strings in 'K'ey Map page. Don't show CHANGE_LINK
+ binding if mouse not enabled (it may not be useful even when -use_mouse is
+ on) - KW
+* function expand_substring used with NCURSES for user-defined mapping keysyms
+ to byte sequences was parsing the "^(...)" construct wrong - KW
+* other small tweaks in key handling code - KW
+* changes to lynx.cfg to better reflect reality - KW
+* terminology note: lynxkeycode = what's between the colons in lynx.cfg
+ KEYMAP:...:..., lynxactioncode = LYK_* code for what's right of the second
+ colon, lynxeditactioncode = what's assigned in LYEditmap.c (and which may
+ differ between lineedit_mode Default Binding and alternative bindings) - KW
+* formatting tweak in HTML.c for <DD> not preceded by <DT>: Don't use wrong
+ indentation in that case - KW
+* changes from DK for DOS up to 1999-02-14 - KW
+* minor documentation tweaks - LP
+* replace most uses of free with FREE -John Bley
+* correct HTEndParam so that if fewer command-parameters are given than
+ expected, we still terminate the command properly (reported by
+ Michael Warner) - TD
+
+1999-02-08 (2.8.2dev.16)
+* minor documentation tweaks for EDITTEXTAREA - LP
+* correct uninitialized buffer variable in send_file_to_mail() which caused
+ core dump (reported by LV) - KW
+* recognize Subject and Message-Id in embedded comments in HTML documents, in
+ the form generated by MHonArc for mailing list archives (including lynx-dev).
+ Use these to generate a default Subject and an In-Reply-To header (currently
+ not for VMS) when replying by mail (sending a 'C'omment, or following a
+ mailto link) from such a page. The old methods to get a title other than the
+ fallback (the URL) still are there and have precedence, by in reality seem to
+ apply very rarely. If no suitable comment strings are found or they are
+ regarded as invalid (bad characters, not exactly right format) they are not
+ used, and the fallback (URL as Subject, no In-Reply-To) applies - KW
+* use the Message-Id of a news article to generate a References header when
+ posting a reply. Lynx's new article listing doesn't understand threading,
+ but this is nicer for other newsreader that do. The References header of the
+ referenced article is not used, so there will be only one message-id in the
+ generated References header, but this is better than nothing. The article's
+ message-id is appended as a parameter to the URL of the generated newsreply
+ link, in the form ";ref=...", so this extends the syntax of Lynx's newsreply:
+ URL scheme. Nothing should have changed for snews: and other s-versions of
+ the various URL schemes for news access - KW
+* Message-Id and Subject of a news article are also made available for replying
+ by mail - KW
+* LYNews.c: Don't post a message that is empty or has only '>'-quoted text - KW
+* HTNews.c: got rid of some suspicious fixed length buffers. Fixed minor
+ memory leaks. Added abort of the target stream which was missing in some
+ cases. Create mailto: hrefs in URL-escaped form if necessary, they will be
+ unescaped in LYMail.c. (News URLs still don't use escaping the right way,
+ especially for message-ids.) Recognize special meaning of "Followup-to:
+ poster" (don't treat "poster" as a newsgroup name). Other small tweaks - KW
+* add samples/cernrules.txt - KW
+* except for DJGPP, move lookup code for domain names (not dotted-quad IP
+ addresses) from HTParseInet into a new function: LYGetHostByName acts like
+ the normal gethostbyname, but includes the NSL_FORK logic. Interruption is
+ indicated in global variable lynx_nsl_status - KW
+* use LYGetHostByName instead of HTParseInet for URL guessing - KW
+* select on tty file descriptor in NSL_FORK loop also if compiled with slang.
+ This should make 'z' during lookup more responsive - KW
+* don't compile in the rules implementation code if NO_RULES is defined
+ (suggested by BL) - KW
+* fix special case of EDITTEXTAREA where the returned file is empty - BJP
+* write to .lynxrc values for COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAIN
+ when options screen is used - BJP
+* add lynx.cfg and .lynxrc support for a few new options (BJP):
+ COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS,
+ COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS,
+ COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS
+ They're the same sort as COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, comma-delimited lists.
+* modify LYOpenTemp() to report unusual errors, i.e., other than if the
+ temporary file could not be created because it already exists - PG
+* more fixes to CF_INET_ADDR - TD
+* modify README to indicate where win32 binaries are found - JES
+* add chrtrans tables for Ukrainian Cyrillic: koi8-u, cp866u, iso-9945-2
+ (patch by Serhii Hlodin <hlodin@lutsk.bank.gov.ua>)
+* patch for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED
+ 1. Handles the renumbering of link number tags [nnn], when the tag itself is
+ split across two lines (see below).
+ 2. Scrolling down, going to the bottom of the document, etc, now work
+ properly, when the TEXTAREA is expanded beyond the bottom of the
+ (original) screen display.
+ 3. Hitting the reset button is now handled properly WRT the "old" text in
+ expansion lines (now *always* empty).
+ 4. Attempting to edit (^Ve) a TEXT field (not a TEXTAREA), is now blocked,
+ with the user getting an error msg.
+ 5. The function call now returns the number of lines that the cursor should
+ be moved from its current position, to end up on the first blank line of
+ any trailing empty lines in the TEXTAREA (there will always be one).
+* bug fixes for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED
+ 1. Thanks to a suggestion by Bela, your regular EDIT keybinding ("e" by
+ default), will now bring up the editor within a TEXTAREA, so there's no
+ need to "waste" a separate keybinding (though you can still additionally
+ bind the function separately, if desired).
+ 2. Converts any tab chars in the edited file, to spaces in the TEXTAREA
+ anchor line. The tabstop is currently #define'd to the quasi-standard
+ value of 8. (If anyone thinks that needs to be user configurable, feel
+ free to add that to the o(ptions) form/menu,
+ cmd-line-arg/lynx.cfg/.lynxrc/userdefs.h, whatever ...
+ I recommend against doing so though, as tabstops that are not set at 8,
+ are a PITA to deal with, generally speaking. I dunno if tab chars in a
+ TEXTAREA form are prohibited "by spec", or if it is just a "lynxism" that
+ they cause rendering problems (as well as downstream problems with
+ submit/etc, I think), but I felt I needed to do something to make lynx
+ behave rationally if they are present in the edited data (quite possibly
+ from an arbitrary file that one pulled into the editor). Filtering them
+ to spaces, seemed the most reasonable thing to do.
+ 3. Replaces any embedded control chars with something printable (I chose a
+ "." char, since it is less "intrusive" than some other choices, like "*",
+ "+", "#", etc). As with tabs, when some of these chars *are* rendered
+ into the TEXTAREA, strange things may happen. This shouldn't be much of a
+ limitation, since many of these chars perform line-editing or
+ system/job-control functions, when entered directly while one is in the
+ TEXTAREA. They currently cannot be "escaped" and entered as actual text
+ chars, so far as I can tell. Anyway ... I don't know of any "legitimate"
+ reason for them to be used as TEXTAREA data, so for now, you get "dots" in
+ their place.
+ 4. Cleans up a few comments, and such.
+* update some linked in lynx_help_main.html (Heikki Kantola <hezu@iki.fi>)
+* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c,
+ LYUtils.c -John Bley
+* add telnet, tn3270 and rlogin program paths to configure script
+ (patch by George Lindholm <George.Lindholm@ubc.ca>).
+
+1999-01-28 (2.8.2dev.15)
+* correct calls to HTAddParam() in LYDownLoad.c to handle optional second
+ parameter (reported by KW) - TD
+* change HTAddXpand() to assume its parameter (an environment variable) is
+ already expanded and simply is not quoted (reported by Ryan Hung
+ <rhung@vcn.bc.ca>) - TD
+* add configure --disable-included-msgs option to allow suppressing of bundled
+ ./po directory for the NLS message library contents. If no ./po directory
+ is found, the configure script assumes it is preinstalled anyway (request
+ by HN) - TD
+* add pattern to script which customizes pathnames in lynx.cfg to support
+ GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/PATH_TO/lynx_doc/samples/mailcap
+ (request by PG) - TD
+* export $PATH when calling cfg_defs.sh - PG
+* add a simple test to check if the temporary directory is actually writable
+ if we cannot create a temporary file in LYOpenTemp (reported by PG) - TD
+* miscellaneous DOS/DJGPP compile/build fixes - LP
+* enabled CERN-style rules, there are two new lynx.cfg options, RULESFILE and
+ RULE. No example file or documentation yet beyond comments in lynx.cfg. The
+ rules mechanism itself is unchanged from what was present for a long time
+ (but never used), except for some memory cleanup. Use -DNO_RULES at compile
+ time to disable - KW
+* add changes to invoke external editor on textarea, can be invoked by adding a
+ KEYMAP entry for EDITTEXTAREA area to lynx.cfg (originally from
+ aldomel@ix.netcom.com, but much rework) - KED
+* use HTSprintf0 in HTTCP.c - TD
+* added PARSE_STRICTPATH and PARSE_QUERY to interface of HTParse(), for
+ requesting only the relevant part of what is returned for PARSE_PATH. This
+ isn't yet used anywhere - KW
+* changes to StrAllocVsprintf() to take width and precision in most format
+ specifications into account, and to correct the memory allocation logic.
+ This was tested by setting GROW_SIZE to a small value of 8, so far no
+ crashes, but it is certainly not right for all possible formats, especially
+ involving floating point conversions - KW
+* changed HTSprintf0() to pass a string already existing in its output buffer
+ on, this should save a few realloc's in StrAllocVsprintf() - KW
+* changes to code handling LIST_FORMAT to avoid some unnecessary reallocations,
+ to recognize some more format flags, and to treat invalid formats somewhat
+ better - KW
+* corrected recent HTFile.c change for systems without S_ISVTX - KW
+* added memory cleanup for uid/gid cache functions in HTAAProt.c - KW
+* increased ATEXITSIZE to 40 - KW
+* added TRACE output to HTAnchor.c's free_adult_table. If this shows anything
+ at program exit (if TRACE is on then), it means that HTAnchor structures have
+ been missed by the normal automatic cleanup (walking the history list and
+ following links) - KW
+* changed more status codes in HTUtils.h to libwww5-like values - KW
+* added new function to check for a valid Internet hostname - KW
+ Use it before actually trying to resolve an address, it should
+ a. avoid the overhead of NSL_FORK if it would fail anyway,
+ b. prevent DNS queries for invalid names, which may unnecessarily
+ consume time, bandwidth, and DNS server cache memory, and
+ may confuse some resolver libraries and servers,
+ c. speed up address guessing sometimes if something was mistyped,
+ d. thwart some attempts to crash Lynx with invalid URLs.
+* this time really make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW
+* new function HTAlwaysAlert(), which can be called even when LYCursesON isn't
+ true and should always produce a visible message - KW
+* use new valid_hostname to also check telnet, tn3270, and rlogin hostnames
+ before calling the external program (after most invalid character have
+ already been stripped). Added a fflush(stdout) to make sure messages are
+ visible before external program is called - KW
+* made changes equivalent to the 1998-12-31 HTSACopy and HTSACat modification
+ to the LY_FIND_LEAKS versions of those functions. Having source and target
+ string for StrAllocCopy or StrAllocCat overlap (or being equal) should be
+ considered a programming error, but at least one place in LYEdit.c currently
+ seems to do it and rely on the new behavior. (Editing current file sometimes
+ didn't work with LY_FIND_LEAKS) - KW
+* closed memory leaks in LYKeymap.c, provided for memory cleanup at exit of
+ LYCgi.c environment strings - KW
+* explicitly put HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET strings into
+ lynxcgi environment only if they are non-empty, i.e., set to something in
+ lynx.cfg or the personal configuration or Options screen. This makes the
+ environment a lynxcgi scripts sees resemble more closely that of a remote CGI
+ script handling a request from Lynx with the same configuration - HTTP.c also
+ only sends Accept-{Language,Charset} headers if preferred language and
+ preferred charset (respectively) have been set to non-empty strings.
+ (Strictly speaking, an empty Accept-* header has a different meaning from a
+ non-existing one, but it doesn't make much sense to generate empty Accept-*
+ headers, since they mean "nothing is accepted".) There are other differences
+ in the lynxcgi environment (e.g. HTTP_ACCEPT isn't set, ",iso-8859-1;q=0.01"
+ etc. isn't appended to HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, apart from missing
+ redirections), but apparently nobody has needed a more exact CGI emulation
+ for real scripts - KW
+* removed sending of "Negotiate: trans" in HTTP.c since it violates transparent
+ content negotiation specs, added comments - KW
+* correct error handling in CF_INET_ADDR, which did not restore $LIBS when no
+ applicable library was found for inet_addr (reported by IC) - TD
+* correction to CF_TERMCAP_LIBS, which used inconsistent spelling for the cache
+ variable, so predefined termcap/terminfo library was not necessarily
+ detected - TD
+* resolved autoconf 2.13 problem, resync configure script with patched
+ autoconf 2.13 - TD
+
+1999-01-18 (2.8.2dev.14)
+* use HTSprintf0 in LYCurses.c, LYForms.c, LYGetFile.c, LYJump.c - TD
+* modify LYCheckMail so it does not continue to report new mail when the mail
+ file's modification time differs from its access time (reported by LV) - TD
+* add check for inet_addr function, and (preferred) inet_aton. The first
+ function is reported to be sometimes in -lresolv, or -lbind when it is not
+ present in the conventional network libraries (from report by
+ mattack@area.com and comments by HN) - TD
+* resync config.sub, config.guess with autoconf 2.13.19990117 (not yet
+ configure, since autoconf 2.13 contains some new bugs) - TD
+* modified handling of untranslatable charsets, after noticing that a page
+ with charset=ISO-2022-JP produced an alert message with a truncated
+ "iso-2022-j". Looking more closely, the code could also result in memory
+ corruption in some cases. Compared with older versions, then changed the
+ code to something somewhat like what was intended there. But we don't have
+ an "Other ISO Latin" display character set any more; maybe those `else'
+ blocks should just have disappeared completely - KW
+* minor changes to SortaSGML DTD for PARAM, THEAD - KW
+* make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW
+* extend fixtext.sh to also change continued lines - KW
+* changed LYCheckForProxyURL to act more like it appears to have been indented,
+ and clarify comment. Minor change in is_url - KW
+* prevent removal of hidden link number from bookmark document in a very
+ obscure case of a bookmarked ISMAP link - KW
+* HText_SubmitForm: make sure query is always allocated, even if the set of
+ form fields to be sent turned out to be empty - KW
+* some comments corrected in HTML.c, LYCharSets.c - KW
+* tweak in curses_w_style for display without color - KW
+* remove minor memory leak in LYDownload.c - KW
+* changed error handling in LYTraversal.c to make sure terminal gets restored
+ to sane mode before showing error message and exiting - KW
+* increased VALUE_SIZE for buffer in HTMIME.c from 1024 to 5120. Someone
+ needed increase for long Set-Cookie headers - KW
+* two new functions in HTList.c to reverse and to combine lists - KW
+* Lynx was using the wrong precedence for entries within a mailcap (relative to
+ other entries from the same file): RFC 1524 says "The configuration
+ information will be obtained from the FIRST matching entry in a mailcap
+ file[...]", but Lynx effectively gave precedence to the last match. Recent
+ Debian packages of lynx have had a patch applied to change this, but that
+ patch also seems to affect the precedence order relative to viewers defined
+ in other places, i.e., lynx.cfg and HTInit.c. The patch here instead changes
+ the precedence of mailcap entries form the same files to RFC-like behavior,
+ by reordering the list generated from a mailcap file after we have finished
+ reading it in. It leaves the order relative to viewers from other sources
+ unchanged. Maybe it should be made configurable whether Lynx's traditional
+ precedence or the new one is used; currently there is just a #define in
+ HTInit.c which could be changed to revert to traditional behavior - KW
+* add checks for null return from malloc to LYCurses.c, LYStrings.c,
+ (patch by John Bley)
+* add support for HP Roman8 as a display character set. HP Roman8 is used by
+ Hewlett-Packard terminals and hpterm, HP's version of xterm. The character
+ repertoire is largely similar to ISO Latin 1 but the code points are all
+ mixed up (patch by Christian Weisgerber)
+* modify WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAUtil.c::HTAA_setupReader(): to use
+ malloc'd buffer rather than static buffer, to avoid overflow (patch by Thomas
+ Braun <Thomas.Braun@link-up.de>)
+* modifications to allow building the DOS lynx port with support of gettext for
+ producing messages in various languages. The DOS port of the gettext package
+ still needs minor tweaking to get it to function properly, but this shouldn't
+ be a problem for most people trying to compile lynx for DOS themselves.
+ Rather than put yet more DOS-specific makefiles in the distribution, I put
+ the changes to the makefiles within comments, which can easily be removed to
+ enable the changes - DK
+* add a comment about LYUCcharset struct "UChndl" field. Tweak trace
+ messages - LP
+* fix parsing of ALT=value attribute when the value is not quoted. When the
+ first character is not us-ascii it was corrupted by chartrans in all versions
+ of lynx. Fix case S_equals in SGML_character() - LP
+* chartrans: ignore RAW_TOGGLE key and do not change LYUseDefaultRawMode if
+ current document's charset specified explicitly, add status message. (Let
+ user switch toggle only when necessary, to avoid future problems :-) - LP
+* chartrans: change the default value of PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE in lynx.cfg
+ from FALSE to TRUE (better safe than sorry) - LP
+* reorder forms-based options menu (cosmetic): rename "HTML error tolerance"
+ to "HTML error recovery", reorganize "Character Set Options" section -
+ "Display character set" went to "Personal preferences" section, "Assume
+ character set" and "Raw 8-bit or CJK mode" went to "Document Layout" section;
+ "Execution Links" went to "File management" section. (Hope this helps to
+ reduce confusion) - LP
+* remove "environment variables" section from INSTALLATION, change references
+ to Lynx User Guide in all docs. Minor tweaks on help files - LP
+* add a comment to mime.types and lynx.cfg on SUFFIX definition: "This has an
+ effect for ftp and local files only, http server does specify MIME type in
+ the Content-Type header" - LP
+
+1999-01-13 (2.8.2dev.13)
+* correct a missing trailing newline in caselower.h (this may be a problem
+ patching since 'diff' does not like that) - TD
+* fix off-by-one alignment download options (reported by LV) - IC
+* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in UCAuto.c - TD
+* remove stop/start curses calls around UCChangeTerminalCodepage() in
+ GridText.c, since they are not necessary, and are a little distracting
+ when running Lynx in xterm - TD
+* correct handling in getfile() of ~/ expansion - KW
+* modify NSL_FORK logic to prevent child process from running any signal
+ handlers the parent may have installed - KW
+* the logic added to display_page for avoiding unnecessary screen redraw with
+ partial display (see 1998-12-03) is now disabled if enable_scrollback is set.
+ Otherwise displayed pages could appear as empty (or with only the current
+ link drawn) - KW
+* modify conditions under which screen style cache is reset (only relevant for
+ color style in combination with partial display) - KW
+* update the INSTALLATION file, reflecting the changes between the two DJGPP
+ versions of GCC in use. Also, change optimization to -O2 in the other two
+ DOS makefiles - DK
+* add support for ISO 8859-15, i.e., "Latin 9", make corrections to DEC
+ Multinational character translations (patch by Christian Weisgerber
+ <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>)
+* modify po/makefile.inn to use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs script
+ (reported by LV) - TD
+* modify print_help_and_exit() to print values for the simple options, i.e.,
+ toggle, integer and string, as part of "lynx -help" (request by
+ mattack@area.com) - TD
+* correct sense shown for Old_DTD variable in LYOptions.c (reported by DK) -TD
+* correct order of params for non-Unix use of HTAddParam in LYBookmark.c
+ (reported by DK) -TD
+
+1998-12-31 (2.8.2dev.12a)
+* delete unused 'PREVAIL' color-style code from HTML.c, merge a couple of
+ sections of logic with TrimColorClass, and change Style_className to
+ a dynamically-allocated string - TD
+* modify fmt_tempname() to check for buffer overflow - TD
+* check/modify for potential buffer overflows: HTAlert.c, LYBookMark.c,
+ LYKeymap.c, LYPrint.c (including splitting it up into functions) - TD
+* change GetOptValues to return status separately from the decoded value, in
+ case the options form is damaged (suggested by LP) - TD
+* add new function HTAddXpand to use in special case where Lynx is building
+ shell command using data from user's configuration, which should not be
+ quoted. Use this in LYEdit.c to allow $EDITOR to be given as the editor
+ name (request by PG) - TD
+* add new function LYOpenTraceLog, to combine logic in LYMain.c and
+ LYMainLoop.c, including Lynx's version message - TD
+* fix some discrepancies between the code and the documentation (help files),
+ for the alternate line edit keybindings, that were first included in the
+ distribution somewhere around -dev.3, or so - KED
+* added a delete-to-beginning-of-line (for the alt bindings only), and a help
+ page that describes the alternate bindings - KED
+* improved description of "HTML error tolerance" - KW
+* changes for handling lynxcgi: handle failure of execve(), by showing the
+ system error and then _exit()ing the child process. Make sure REQUEST_METHOD
+ is always set. Added checks for EINTR and other errors from read() - KW
+* DOSPATH or EMX: remove strange code dealing with root of local drive from
+ is_url() and HTDOS_name()/HTDOS_wwwname(), add right code at the earlier
+ stage in LYFillLocalFileURL() - LP (thanks KW)
+* relax warning from HTAlert to HTUserMsg on REFRESH_URL_NOT_ABSOLUTE - LP
+* more tweaks on transfer rate calculation - LP
+* modify HTSACopy and HTSACat in case the source and destination are the same
+ pointer - TD
+* tested/removed redundant OS/2 EMX adjustment to filename from LYEdit.c - TD
+* optimized LYEdit.c by moving calls on HTSYS_name(filename) to a single place
+ near the top - LP
+* forms-based options menu: prevent spoofing attempts from possible overruns
+ (e.g., user can doing 'e'dit in 'o'ptions and get core dump if
+ display_char_set gets an illegal number such as 50, or hang the keyboard with
+ illegal Line edit style) - LP
+* forms-based options menu: add new logical section - Document Layout,
+ currently with "HTML error tolerance" (TagSoup/SortaSGML), "Pop-up for select
+ fields", "Show images" (no_alt/labels/links) and "Verbose images". New
+ switches added for information purposes mostly, they duplicate hot keys but
+ not so hidden from user's view. Documentation updated also. (Oh yes, "Line
+ edit style" option is now available when we have a real choice >1) - LP
+* split cfg_defs.sh into two script based on revised script from PG - TD
+* minor fixes for top-level makefile.in - PG
+* fixes for makefiles with gcc 2.8.1 using DJGPP 2.02 (do not use "-c -o"
+ combination, strip trailing blanks from makefile.sla, change optimization
+ level to -O2) - DK
+* rename New_DTD variable to Old_DTD, change logic for -tagsoup option to be
+ consistent with sense in lynx.cfg (reported by LP) -TD
+
+1998-12-26 (2.8.2dev.12)
+* use HTSprintf0 in LYCgi.c - TD
+* add tab-completion on URL's, by using previously-entered strings for
+ matching (patch by Kari Davidsson <karid@isholf.is>) - TD
+* add version number to trace log (patch by IC)
+* modify HTDOS_name to be consistent with HTVMS_name, which does not modify
+ its parameter (reported by LP). Also, modify HTDOS_name and HTDOS_wwwName
+ so they allocate space for the result rather than using a static buffer - TD
+* modify LYEdit.c to use HTAddParam - TD
+* make HREF/NAME for "Environment" consistent in Lynx_users_guide.html
+ (reported by LP) -TD
+* correct DOS/EMX logic in LYEdit.c which incremented 'filename' pointer when
+ its length was greater than 1 rather than recopying the string, causing a
+ core dump when 'filename' was freed (reported by LP, this applies to
+ 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
+* correct sense of 'already_exists()' function from dev.11, which caused
+ various file-menu operations to stop working (reported by IC) - TD
+
+1998-12-24 (2.8.2dev.11)
+* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in about half of the WWW library files where
+ applicable: HTAABrow.c HTAAServ.c HTAAUtil.c HTAccess.c HTAnchor.c HTDOS.c
+ HTFTP.c HTFWriter.c HTFile.c HTFinger.c HTFormat.c HTGopher.c - TD
+* eliminate most duplicate gettext parameters, reduced the number of files
+ listed in po/POTFILES.in to a size that may allow build with the Solaris
+ xgettext utility - TD
+* correct rule for remaking po/makefile - TD
+* workaround for HPUX sed program, providing '$' anchors for ".*" expressions,
+ which is redundant, but should be harmless (suggested by Jean-Yves Levesque
+ <Jean-Yves.Levesque.jyves@nortelnetworks.com>)
+* add new help file, keystrokes/environments.html - LP
+* fix HTReadProgress(): more accurate transfer rate calculation - LP
+* update slang makefile.dos, and corresponding INSTALLATION notes - DK
+* correct my integration of IZ's LY_CHANGE_LINK code, which resulted in an
+ out-of-bounds index into revmap (reported by LP, LV) - TD
+* add note about sendmail for Win32 to lynx.cfg - JES
+* add note for successful build on NeXT to INSTALLATION (Christian Jensen
+ <cejensen@winternet.com>)
+* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYUtils.c,
+ (patch by John Bley)
+* remove reference to 'persistent_cookies' in LYCookie.c which prevented
+ compile when persistent cookies configure option was disabled (report
+ by PG) - KW
+* move assignment to SHELL back from WWW/Library/makefile.in to CommonMakefile,
+ and revert use of $CONFIG_SHELL in configure script, since this appears to
+ stop auto-configure from finding working include feature of 'make' on CLIX
+ (reported by Alex Matulich) - TD
+
+1998-12-16 (2.8.2dev.10)
+* FROM_FILE is not used any more for a domain (although it is currently still
+ defined. Renamed COOKIE_FLAG_PERSISTENT to COOKIE_FLAG_FROM_FILE. Don't
+ change a domain's "behavior" (ACCEPT_ALWAYS, REJECT_ALWAYS, or QUERY_USER)
+ just because there was a persistent cookie for it. Users who want to always
+ accept cookies from a domain without prompting should use
+ COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - KW
+* FREE domain_entry objects when they are not used any more. Other minor leak
+ removed - KW
+* some (few) changes for draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-10.txt. Don't accept
+ invalid port lists (this may need more tweaking). Added some comments - KW
+* try to preserve cookies (within a domain) in the same order in which they
+ were received, although this is probably not necessary after all. There is
+ no difference any more w.r.t. insertion into the list between cookies from
+ the file and cookies from response headers - KW
+* use <= instead of < comparison when checking whether a cookie has expired -KW
+* don't write expired cookies, cookies with discard attribute, or cookies
+ without expiration date to persistent file - KW
+* don't call HTConfirmCookie for cookies read from file. This doesn't change
+ the logic since previously HTConfirmCookie allowed all file cookies
+ anyway - KW
+* don't delete the domain_list if it becomes empty. Doing this could result in
+ unnecessary multiple atexit()'s - KW
+* write the cookie file even if we now have no cookies, if we have previously
+ read cookies from the file. The file should be updated if all cookies that
+ were in it are expired or superseded or deleted - KW
+* when reading file cookies, set attributes in a way that (hopefully) makes
+ more sense than just ignoring them. See comments in LYLoadCookies.
+ We are restricted a lot by the choice of a Netscape-compatible cookie file
+ format, some version 1 properties just cannot be stored in it AFAIK. Some
+ more tweaking in LYLoadCookies - KW
+* setting a domains behavior to accept "A)lways" didn't actually work, it had
+ the same effect as "P)rompt". Corrected this simple (probably cut-and-paste)
+ error - KW
+* some changes in what is displayed on Cookie Jar page: FROM_FILE is a
+ property of individual cookies, not of domains as previously. Cookies from
+ file (which haven't been updated) are shown as "(from a previous session)".
+ Show expiration time ("Max. Gobble Date") whenever we have one. The state
+ of the "discard" attribute is already displayed separately - KW
+* made color styles code work much better with TagSoup parsing mode. A new
+ flag bit is set for some tags in HTMLDTD which indicates that, even though
+ they may be otherwise handled as SGML_EMPTY, this emptiness is fake. This
+ can only work reasonably for elements that require an end tag (not for LI,
+ for example) - KW
+* added SUMMARY attribute for TABLE element to HTMLDTD (but we don't do
+ anything with it) - KW
+* split_line: Try to account for changes in anchor position and extent in all
+ possible cases. This improves some cases where the selectable text could
+ become too short and, in extreme cases, a link could become erroneously
+ "hidden" - KW
+* split_line: color style changes after the split position are moved to the
+ correct position in the new line - KW
+* set TextAnchor's line_num in HText_beginInput, so that split_line can adjust
+ the input field's position properly if a split moves it to the next line.
+ Should solve problem reported for www.lycos.com - KW
+* don't refuse to read from file-descriptor 0 in HTDoRead for Unix if it is not
+ a tty. The socket fd from HTDoConnect can be 0 if fd 0 was not open when
+ lynx was started non-interactively - KW
+* increase INIT_LINE_SIZE in HTTP.c slightly from 1024 to 1536, so that for a
+ typical ethernet MTU the first packet of a response can more often be read in
+ with a single read() - KW
+* add a missing FREE() in HTTP.c - KW
+* use case mapping from ftp.unicode.org /Public/UNIDATA for case-insensitive
+ user search (thanks "Kari E Hurtta" <Kari.Hurtta@ozone.FMI.FI>), new file
+ src/chrtrans/caselower.h added. This is used instead of UPPER8 assumption
+ introduced in 2.8 release (see 1998-02-27). There is no difference in speed
+ though - LP
+* fix links in History/Visited Links page for documents with blank
+ <TITLE></TITLE>, also remove leading spaces from titles to make output a
+ little better - LP
+* use djgpp's <sys/config.h> file, which contains default values for autoconf
+ style definitions - LP
+* updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp for "SEE ALSO" sections - KED, JES
+* optimize the test commands specified in the mailcap file by remembering which
+ tests have been run already. (patch by Marc Huber <marc@sixpack.de>)
+* add lint rule to makefile.in, as well as corresponding rule in WWW/... - LV
+* update version in makefile.in to 2-8-2 - PG
+* fix makefiles to build with DJGPP (problem introduced in dev8) - LP
+* use new symbol KEYMAP_SIZE to get rid of various constants relating to the
+ size of keymap[] array, e.g, 0x293, 659 - TD
+* add new mouse and keymap functionality to lynx (IZ):
+ a) If one clicks mouse *near* a link, the "point/focus" is moved to this link
+ (without actual activation);
+ b) One can bind keys with ordinals larger than DO_NOTHING;
+ c) Primitive context sensitive menu added to the middle button of a mouse
+ (currently ncurses only);
+ Current micro-problem with "c" is that I do not know how to refresh a screen
+ before triggering the action, so if the action chosen from the menu would
+ not redraw the screen, the menu outline is left on the screen.
+* modify LYKeymap.c so that it can show internal keymaps above 0400 as
+ hexadecimal codes even if they do not appear in the function-key table -IZ
+* add HTOptParam to avoid spurious quoting of blanks in rlogin URLs by
+ HTAddParam - TD
+* correct missing assignment in remote_session(), from dev.9 changes for
+ HTAddParam, which broke telnet/rlogin URLs (reported by IC) - TD
+
+1998-12-12 (2.8.2dev.9)
+* change location-not-absolute message from an alert to user-message - TD
+* check for EINTR from read() call in HTDoRead, and retry if necessary. This
+ change only for Unix. Interrupted read() system calls should be rare (or
+ impossible, depending on the system implementation?) since the read() is only
+ done after a successful select(), but checking can't hurt - KW
+* check for read read() errors in HTDoRead and HTCopy, and generate alert
+ messages for unexpected errors. HTCopy still returns HT_LOADED to indicate
+ success if any data have been received before an unexpected error or
+ disconnection. Previously this happened without any indication to the user
+ that something was wrong and a document or file might be incomplete. These
+ changes currently only for Unix - KW
+* added/enhanced comments in HTFormat.c to document current behavior of HTCopy,
+ HTFileCopy, HTGzFileCopy, HTParseSocket, HTParseFile, and HTParseGzFile - KW
+* moved definition of HT_NO_DATA to HTUtils.h, changed value of some status
+ codes to libwww5-like values while we're at it - KW
+* correct uninitialized de variable in LYCookie.c when dump_output_immediately
+ is set. Also, made a slight change to this mode in LYMain.c, so that cookies
+ received will also be written to the cookie file; cleanup() is not called in
+ -dump mode (reported by Elwin Oost) - BJP
+* correct include-path for chrtrans makefile to allow builds outside the
+ source tree (Masashi Fujita)
+* minor cleanup of LYCookie.c, add some traces - BJP
+* add support for content encoding for x-bzip2, bzip2 for suffix "bz2" - HN
+* add po directory to install-bin and uninstall rules - TD
+* modify the environment variable logic to avoid freeing string given to putenv
+ until after giving it a new string - TD
+* add several environment variables to LYPrint.c - KED
+* add ENVIRONMENT section to lynx.man and lynx.hlp - KED
+* add installation note about --enable-gzip-help - KED
+* update installation notes for WAIS - DK
+* add/use new functions for building up command-string for shell commands,
+ which quote parameters as needed: HTAddParam(), HTEndParam(). Moved the
+ logic in quote_pathname to HTQuoteParameter, extending that function to quote
+ the parameter only if it contains characters which are problems with various
+ shells (e.g., wildcards), and to escape backslashes. In particular, use
+ these functions to ensure that the user and port strings in HTTelnet.c are
+ quoted (fixes a hole reported by Art Mulder <art@openbsd.org> - TD
+* modify print-to-file logic to permit writing to pipe, provided that the
+ user does not have no-shell restriction - TD
+* split-out logic for LYValidateFilename() from printfile() and LYDownload - TD
+* whitespace fixes - BJP
+* add configure option --with-nls-datadir, to allow installer to specify
+ alternate locale data directory. A separate option from --datadir is
+ required because the GNU gettext code is usually installed under
+ $(prefix)/share rather $(prefix)/lib - TD
+* add configure check for gettimeofday, to implement 0.1 second interval
+ for skipping HTCheckForInterrupt() - TD
+* modify configure script to generate references to $CONFIG_SHELL rather than
+ /bin/sh, to allow some testing with alternate shells. Autoconf uses this
+ variable for a similar purpose - TD
+* correct missing case for 'o', octal in StrAllocVsprintf (reported by IC) - TD
+* fix -restrictions=bookmark check in forms-based options menu (reported by KW
+ & Rodiger Geys) - LP
+* fix memory leaks in LYPrint.c and UCdomap.c - KW
+* when printing HEAD to email use URL in the subject, was title. (it was
+ especially annoying when we have 8bit title being sent as 7bit: no charset
+ information is supplied for letters with 7bit message body) - LP
+* remove "temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by
+ introducing a flag in HText_beginInput()" from 1998-09-12 since it is now not
+ needed after KW's changes in HText_trimHightext. - LP
+
+1998-12-03 (2.8.2dev.8)
+* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in LYCookie.c, LYLocal.c - TD
+* correct logic in OpenHiddenFile, which did not check if a failure to open a
+ file for append was due to the file's not existing and hence causing
+ IsOurFile to return failure. This caused the -traversal option to fail
+ (reported by Francis Irving <francis@ncgraphics.co.uk>, applies to
+ 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
+* fixed line number removal code in HText_endAnchor in several places, it was
+ modifying the wrong line which could lead to memory corruption - KW
+* tweaks in HText_startAnchor and HText_endAnchor for handling link numbers.
+ Don't swallow space after number if line was split. Find link number on
+ previous line even it it is at the very end. Adjust line split position after
+ number removal. Generate TRACE output in interesting cases - KW
+* prevent havoc (access to already freed memory etc.) caused by multiple
+ recursive invocations of HTAnchor_delete on the same HTParentAnchor. This
+ does not seem to actually happen normally during a session, but can occur
+ when the HTAnchor structures are cleaned up while handling a terminating
+ signal or outofmem condition - KW
+* reset the HTAnchor "underway" flag during final cleanup, so structures are
+ not prevented from being freed. This also should only make a difference when
+ handling a terminating signal or outofmem condition - KW
+* show sticky-bit in directory listings - LV
+* correct options-message on Print page - IC
+* update installation note about freewais library (reported by Chris Maden
+ <crism@oreilly.com>) - TD
+* improvements to mouse code, ncurses-based, from IZ (Ilya Zakharevich):
+ a) Mouse navigation inside text entry fields;
+ b) Mouse navigation to a text entry field (including an empty one)
+ c) Mouse navigation to a specific position of a text field (since I do not
+ know which fields are text fields, I implemented "b" and "c" for
+ F_TEXTAREA_TYPE and F_TEXT_TYPE only, search for these symbols in the
+ patch);
+ d) Mouse navigation in menus: To scroll, one can click on top/bottom border
+ (single=byline, double=bypage, triple=beg/end), or above/below menu
+ (single=bypage, double=beg/end)) mouse-3 ==> quit;
+ e) Double-click-1 on the first and last row are interpreted as goto-
+ start/end/main-window (depending on the location of the click).
+ Other Changes:
+ a) Ask ncurses for all mouse events, but increase mouseinterval() to simulate
+ current behavior (which is effectively an infinite mouseinterval() +
+ masking of repeated clicks);
+ b) Earlier clicking to the left of a link would activate the link. I see no
+ use for this, so consider this a bug.
+* HText_trimHightext (GridText.c): don't apply final adjustment repeatedly to
+ an anchor that has already been handled by this function; the function may be
+ called repeatedly if partial display is enabled. Some other changes in this
+ function, to interact better with the other GridText.c functions, especially
+ for partial display mode. We don't have to handle all anchors if the new
+ parameter "final" is not set.
+ Also empty anchors should now generally not any more move down over empty
+ lines, if they happen at a line end. Made some trace messages give more
+ information - KW
+* color styles: reset screen style cache to avoid random coloring when a link
+ is unhighlighted - KW
+* tweak in HText_setLastOptionValue: if an OPTION tag was directly followed by
+ several newlines, characters could be dropped - KW
+* tweak havevisible() function in LYBookmark.c to compare against Unicode
+ value rather than ASCII when checking for blanks - LP
+* ifdef user/group function caching calls so that this builds with djgpp, which
+ doesn't need/support this (patch by Gisle Vanem)
+* documentation updates for NLS - HN
+* separate some html from gettext in LYCgi.c, LYHistory.c, LYLocal.c - JES
+* avoid setting recent_sizechange during the very first start_curses call for
+ ncurses. This would result in an unnecessary refresh after loading the first
+ document - KW
+* added logic to display_page to avoid repainting the full screen contents in a
+ specific situation: if it has been called before (for the same lines in the
+ same document) during partial display, and is now being called normally (not
+ during partial display). If this applies, the normal line content is not
+ redrawn, but the title line and form fields are still repainted, and updating
+ of the links structures is always done. There are additional checks for
+ recent_sizechange and a text->stale flag (which was already implemented but
+ unused) to do the full redraw if that may be needed. This should avoid
+ unnecessary screen 'blinking' with curses when partial display is used (which
+ didn't seem to happen with slang) - KW
+* modify SGML.c to check for SGML_ELEMENT tag contents, fixing a case where an
+ entity that appears within a TABLE but outside of any table row TR will be
+ displayed by Lynx _without_ its entities being interpreted (analysis by Alan
+ J Flavell <flavell@a5.ph.gla.ac.uk>, applies to 2.8.1rel.2) - KW
+* check that stdin is really a tty before trying to select from it in the
+ NSL-FORK logic in HTParseInet(), file HTTCP.c (reported by Kim DeVaughn, for
+ someone who was unable to run lynx -dump in a cron job, applies to
+ 2.8.1rel.2) - TD, BL
+* updates for lynx_help_main.html (JES, IC).
+* change fopen for write in LYCookie.c to LYNewTxtFile so that the resulting
+ file will be readable by only the owner (Bill Nottingham <wen2@po.cwru.edu>
+ suggested using umask, but that may not be portable enough) - TD
+* use CONST in some places in UCdomap.c and makeuctb, to make more tables
+ shareable (suggested by LP) - TD
+* fixes for SunOS K&R compiler with/without unproto wrapper, i.e., definition
+ of 'const' - TD
+
+1998-11-23 (2.8.2dev.7)
+* convert KEY_ENTER to newline in LYgetch() to make Lynx work with IRIX's
+ iris-ansi terminfo description, which equates the kent capability with
+ carriage return. Doing this will allow lynx to use the keypad "enter" key as
+ an alias for carriage return on most terminals - KW
+* correct a few missing ifdef's for disabling the partial-display logic - TD
+* add/use new functions HTAA_UidToName(), HTAA_NameToUid(), HTAA_GidToName()
+ and HTAA_NameToGid() to hide details of code which uses pwd.h and grp.h,
+ as well as to cache the returned user/group names, improving performance
+ in the dired screen - TD
+* modify HTCheckForInterrupt() to check for interrupt no more than one per
+ second, since this check is comparatively slow - TD
+* modify ANSI_VARARGS case for HTSprintf() and HTSprintf0() to always use
+ ANSI prototypes, since __STDC__ may not necessarily be defined on some
+ systems, resulting in an inconsistent definition - PG
+* add install-full rule to makefile.in - LV
+* modify PutDefs macro in LYShowInfo.c to check for nonnull table[N].value,
+ which may be null due to limitations of cfg_defs.sh script on some
+ platforms where an empty string was intended (reported by LV, PG, applies
+ to 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
+* correct typo in 'make distclean' rule; an extra '-' prevented removal of
+ .orig and .rej files (patch by LV).
+
+1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.6)
+* add call on dbug_init to LYMain.c, allowing use of the debugging code built
+ into the WATTCP code which is included in the DJGPP port of lynx. This is
+ activated by placing lines in the WATTCP.CFG file for:
+ DEBUG.MODE= (choices are HEADERS, DUMP, or ALL)
+ DEBUG.PROTO= (choices are TCP, UDP, or ALL)
+ DEBUG.FILE= (name of log file. Defaults to WATTCP.DBG)
+ This adds about 2K to the size of the stripped, compressed executable. You
+ get a log of the headers and/or a binary dump of the packets sent and
+ received. Maybe this will help in determining where ftp is failing in this
+ port - DK
+* correct definitions for ANSI_VARARGS, HAVE_STDARG_H in HTUtils.h (reported
+ by LP, for djgpp) - TD
+* correct logic in StrAllocVsprintf(), remove spurious test on dst_len
+ (analysis by LV) - TD
+
+1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.5)
+* modify HTLoadFile() to make compressed files work with OS/2 EMX and
+ LYSystem() to convert forward slashes in pathnames to backslashes, also for
+ EMX (patches by Ilya Zakharevich).
+* documentation nits (apostrophes) in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h - LV
+* fix inconsistent newlines in po/it.po (report by Irving_Wolfe@Wolfe.net) - TD
+* modify config.guess, added Intergraph 2430 CLIX machines (reported by Alex
+ Matulich <matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil>) - TD
+* minor fix in LYCharSets.c according to recent changes in UCDefs.h introduced
+ by IBM OS/2 codepage number - LP
+* modify configure script to work with --enable-nls built into a subdirectory
+ of the source tree (reported by PG) - TD
+* disable regeneration of intl/po2tbl.sed and po/POTFILES if --disable-nls
+ configure option is specified - TD
+* add configure test for stdarg.h vs varargs.h - TD
+* fixes to work with SunOS K&R compiler - TD
+* don't trim trailing and leading spaces from unformatted text lines in some
+ cases (split_line in GridText.c). Prevents corruption of some uuencoded
+ files when they are displayed and then 'P'rinted (although 'D'ownload should
+ be used instead) - KW
+* some changes in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). Splitting of long SOURCE
+ lines now works with color styles - KW
+* workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML document with the
+ same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW
+* check for 'z'ap while constructing local directory listings (non-VMS only, in
+ HTFile.c) - KW
+* added a couple outofmem checks (HTAnchor.c). Minor TRACE message change in
+ GridText.c for -tlog / USE_TRACE_LOG disabled - KW
+* when adding bookmark entries, don't accept a title string which appears to
+ consist only of blank characters (LYBookmark.c). When rendering a bookmark
+ file, use hiddenlinks=merge counting, so that numbers after entries with
+ empty titles don't get out of whack (GridText.c). This should prevent 'R'
+ from removing the wrong bookmark entry - KW
+* prevent generation of some unnecessary temp files when constructing mailcap
+ file test commands (HTInit.c) - KW
+* include LYLeaks.h in UCdomap.c for memory leak detection - KW
+* fixed various memory leaks (UCdomap.c, LYShowInfo.c, LYReadCFG.c, LYMain.c,
+ LYDownload.c, LYBookmark.c, HTML.c, DefaultStyle.c) - KW
+* escape '&' and '<' in HTML generated to display current lynx.cfg option
+ values (LYReadCFG.c) - KW
+* revert logic in split_line. Emphasis highlighting that should extend over
+ several lines was being lost at line breaks (GridText.c). (IsSpecialAttrChar
+ probably shouldn't return true for LY_SOFT_NEWLINE since in most places it
+ tests whether to skip a character position, but as long as this special char
+ is only used in SOURCE mode it cannot mess up any anchor positions so it
+ should be ok. - KW
+* correct character counting in SOURCE display continuation lines. A
+ highlighted search target would be shown shifted left by one character
+ position because the LY_SOFT_NEWLINE special was displayed as '+' but not
+ counted (GridText.c) - KW
+* prevent generation of invalid/unparsable comments if
+ UCSaveBookmarksInUnicode is in effect, other minor changes in
+ LYBookmark.c - KW
+* correction for color styles in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). At some
+ point a memmove was replaced by a for loop, but source and destination were
+ reversed and the counter was wrong - KW
+* modify HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 to use a more generic approach to varargs by
+ using only va_alist in the parameter list - TD
+* correct html expression in LYShowInfo.c of dev.3 which did not allow the temp
+ file with the lynx.cfg settings to be accessed from the Configuration
+ Definitions page (patch by IC (Ismael Cordeiro)).
+* correct "Exiting" message format in cleanup_sig(), which had unexpanded %d
+ (reported by BJP) - TD
+* add to config.hin the definitions set by AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro (PG pointed
+ out that this also sets 'inline', needed for GNU gettext) - TD
+* modify MakeNewTitle() to check for null pointer, fixing core dump with
+ verbose images when value[src_type] is null (reported by John Bley
+ <jbb6@acpub.duke.edu> for 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
+
+1998-11-18 (2.8.2dev.4)
+* change default for configure option of NLS (gettext) to disabled until we
+ finish porting it to implementations other than GNU gettext. Also,
+ change default for include-gettext configure option to "with" - TD
+* suppress cookie-storing if the value is null - BJP
+* ifdef'd alternative set of line-edit bindings with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS, add
+ configure option --enable-alt-bindings, rename DELEOL to DELEL, remove
+ binding of DELEL to '\' - TD
+* add alternative set of line-edit bindings to change the behavior of the ^B
+ and ^F line editor bindings to provide emacs/tcsh like behavior (cursor
+ left/right), instead of "word" deletes. Corrected a bug in the ^R (LYE_DELN)
+ function, which is described as "delete next character", but was in fact
+ performing identically to ^D (LYE_DELC) "delete current character". Added a
+ function called LYE_DELEL, which does the expected thing, and deletes
+ from the current cursor position, to the EOL.
+ New bindings:
+ ^B = LYE_BACK cursor backwards
+ ^F = LYE_FORW cursor forwards
+ ^K = LYE_DELEOL delete to end-of-line
+ ^T = LYE_DELNW delete next word
+ ^X = LYE_DELPW delete previous word
+ ^^ = LYE_UPPER upper case line (not active when kbd-layout binding is)
+ ^_ = LYE_LOWER lower case line
+ KED (Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com>).
+* modify to show address to submit to on the statusline when in advanced user
+ mode. Also fixes one small typo in LYMainLoop.c. (suggested by
+ <erisson@sw-tech.com>) - BJP
+* modify HTParseInet() so that it works if stdin has been redirected to
+ /dev/null, e.g., when running a cron job (reported by John H DuBois III
+ <spcecdt@armory.com>) - BL
+* minor documentation updates to lynx.cfg (Larry Virden).
+* change some character constants from '\hex' and '\octal' form to decimal,
+ to persuade compilers that upper-128 compares are legal - TD
+* ifdef'd KEYBOARD_LAYOUT with EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT, add configure option
+ --enable-kbd-layout - TD
+* implement EXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH for OS/2 EMX (Sergey Svishchev).
+* add 'a' response when printing a file to allow append rather than overwrite
+ (Sergey Svishchev).
+* add KEYBOARD_LAYOUT to lynx.cfg, to support character-translation on input,
+ add missing line editing style selection to Options form. This is enabled
+ and disabled by the line edit control/uparrow (Sergey Svishchev
+ <svs@ropnet.ru>).
+* use exit_immediately() to reduce some signal-function clutter - LP
+* correct dependency in src/makefile.in for cfg_defs.h (Masashi Fujita
+ <objectx@bandit.co.jp>)
+* change quoted includes in intl directory to bracketed includes - TD
+
+1998-11-16 (2.8.2dev.3)
+* misc documentation updates for the gettext/internationalization - LP
+* rename po/makefile.in.in to po/makefile.inn, and modify distclean rule to
+ remove the remaining generated files - TD
+* preliminary changes to support port to OS/390, some ifdef'd with __MVS__,
+ some with EBCDIC and NOT_ASCII -PG
+* modify LYCookie.c to accept cookies with no value, in case the site resets a
+ cookie by nulling out the value (reported by Larry Virden) - BJP
+* modify cookie parsing to ignore comment lines beginning with a '#' (reported
+ by Jonathan Bobin indicates that Netscape adds comments back, confusing
+ Lynx) - BJP
+* highlight option letters in old options screen (adapted from patch by Ismael
+ Cordeiro) - TD
+* use HTSprintf functions in HText_SubmitForm(), user_message(),
+ LYLoadIMGmap(), HTTelnet.c. (The HTTelnet.c modifications fix a security
+ hole reported by Martin Mokrejs) - TD
+* add HTSprintf, HTSprintf0 functions, to use in resolving potential buffer
+ overflows - TD
+* modify HTVMS_purge() to rename the remaining file to version 1 unless a
+ permissions problem was encountered - TD
+
+1998-11-10 (2.8.2dev.2)
+* some testing against Solaris gettext implementation, enough to see that it is
+ not really compatible either source or binary with GNU gettext. For the time
+ being, I recommend building NLS support only with GNU gettext (and
+ --with-included-gettext to avoid conflict with Solaris' gettext in the

+* various changes to configure script and makefiles to make this build with and
+ without NLS - TD
+* undo spurious substitutions such as gettext("") - TD
+* modify some gettext() expressions to avoid embedding HTML in them - TD
+* restore definitions in LYMessages_en.h - TD

+
+1998-11-05 (2.8.2dev.1)
+* relax the cookie sanity checking for version 0 (old) cookies _only when_ the
+ user has accept_all_cookies set (patch by Risto Widenius
+ <widenius@ling.helsinki.fi>)
+* modify get_listen_socket() to check if master_socket is set before attempting

+ <m9235159@grz08u.unileoben.ac.at>) -TD
+* Fix core dump which may happen after printing-to-email - LP
+* Move read_rc() before parsing any command-line arguments (except -help)
+ so the latter will override any .lynxrc settings. In particular, the problem
+ was detected with -cookie_file= which was ignored after saving values
+ from Options menu - LP
+* Chartrans bug: LYNXIMGMAP now shows the text in right charset.
+ (The page was converted twice, fixed by adding META charset to this internal
+ page. The bug was in all versions of Lynx starting from 2.7.1ac) - LP
+* Oops, my typo from pre3 back to 27-09-98: windows-1252 appears twice
+ in the list of character sets in options menu, was also typo in docs - LP
+* modify HTDOS.c to permit compile with K&R compiler - TD

+* move checking for command-line "-head" and related options before curses
+ initialization so that program exits with correct terminal settings
+ (report by LV) -BL
+* correct uninitialized index into id_append in makeuctb, which causes problems
+ with def7_uni.tbl (analysis by LP)
+* add TAGSOUP flag to lynx.cfg to set initial state of Tag Soup vs SortaSGML
+ (request by LP) - TD
+* add PERSISTENT_COOKIES flag to lynx.cfg to allow disabling the persistent
+ cookies feature in a Lynx executable (request by BJP) - TD

+
+1998-10-17 (2.8.1pre.11)
+* add dependency on cfg_defs.h to src/makefile.in for LYShowInfo.o
+ PG (Paul Gilmartin <pg@sweng.stortek.com>)
+* modify add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from
+ a download/upload/extern line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed true. Also check
+ for null command string in LYExtern.c (bug report by HN) - TD
+* modify logic in forms-options menu so that assume_char_set now works
+ correctly for any LYRawMode value by synchronizing gen_options() and
+ postoptions() via rawmode memory - LP
+* correct ifdef'ing in LYShowInfo.c for non-Unix platforms - LP
+* modify nsl_fork logic to handle a case where child exits successfully
+ right after parent's select timed out (reported by Serge Munhoven) - BL
+* small updates to lynx_help files and other documentation (BJP, PW, LV).
+* add #define's for later work to simplify configuring the maximum number
+ of cookies (suggested by BJP) - TD
+* flush output in makeuctb, as possible fix for build problems on systems that
+ do not implement POSIX 'exit()' call (reported by Serge Munhoven
+ <munhoven@mema.ucl.ac.be> and Jan Hlavacek) - TD
+* put GOTOBUFFER, JUMPBUFFER and QUIT_DEFAULT_YES back the way they used to be
+ (majority decision) - TD
+
+1998-10-14 (2.8.1pre.10)

+* remove verbose_links variable due to popular demand - TD
+
+1998-10-10 (2.8.1pre.9)
+* add verbose_links variable to lynx.cfg and userdefs.h to control whether Lynx
+ should show "(LINK)" before links (request/patch by Moshe Zadka
+ <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>) - TD
+* change defaults in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h, add comments - PW
+ (a) defaults are stated for `verbose' & `KB';
+ (b) GOTOBUFFER & JUMPBUFFER defaults to TRUE;
+ (c) QUIT_DEFAULT_YES defaults to FALSE
+* restore suggested file name in download menu: it is really useful for other
+ download methods which should be available in menu when `save to disk' is
+ disabled. Remove local_path/ prefix (LYNX_SAVE_SPACE if any) from visible
+ suggested file name string near the top instead - LP
+* restore newline position when toggling comments parsing (at least we could
+ return to previous screen to try comments toggling twice) - LP
+* add a link from keystrokes help for edit_help.html (input line keys) - LP
+* corrected to make -nostatus command-line option override HTReadProgress - TD
+* updates to lynx-dev.html (Al Gilman).
+* modify NSL-fork support in HTTCP.c to use waitpid call to reap child
+ processes which may otherwise become orphaned. The new variable
+ "dns_patience" represents how many seconds we're willing to wait for DNS to
+ respond (should later make it configurable) - BL
+* modify PutTextInput and PutDefs macros in LYOptions.c and LYShowInfo.c to
+ avoid pre-ANSI compilers attempting to substitute macro parameters in
+ coincidental matches within quoted strings - BL
+ gcc -Wtraditional reports the first, but not the second, which is "n"
+ substituted into "\n" - TD
+* add an error-check for fg/bg values to lynx_chg_color function in case
+ lynx.cfg specifies color names not in Lynx's table - BL
+* modify IsOurFile function to accommodate links-to-links, so that users whose
+ home directory is reached by that type of path can save .lynxrc file
+ (reported by PW) - TD
+
+1998-10-04 (2.8.1pre.8)
+* modify HTTCP.c to copy soc_in from phost in HTParseInet, making Lynx/32 do
+ lookups again - WB
+* modify LYCurses.c to compile mouse-code with Borland C and PDCURSES 2.3 - WB
+* correct backward logic in CF_TERMIOS_AND_CURSES (reported by LE) - TD
+
+1998-10-04 (2.8.1pre.7)
+* add special-case CF_TERMIOS_AND_CURSES configure macro (fixes problem
+ reported by Philippe De Muyter) - TD
+* update/reorganize option_help.html - PW
+* restore newline position when return from the Print menu or follow a link
+ from History page (was broken for partial display mode only): LYPop() and
+ LYPop_num now reinitialize Newline_partial if it happens on getfile stage.
+ Also remove changes from 1998-06-11 (case LYK_DOWNLOAD) since this is now
+ protected by HText_new() which never starts. - LP
+* tweak suggested filename for download menu: now it we have URL
+ terminated with "/" (e.g., a directory or possibly root) do one more try -
+ remove terminating "/" - LP
+* download menu: do not show "Suggested file name" when "save to disk disabled"
+ (requested by HN) - LP
+* more tweaks on LYshow_kb_rate - LP
+* move fallback definitions for POSIX S_ISLNK, etc., to allow build with
+ VAX C (reported by Tony Bolton) - TD

+ accommodate bash2 (Tadayoshi Okuma <tad@pht.co.jp>)
+
+1998-10-01 (2.8.1pre.6)
+* add EMX to special cases for SetOutputMode, to force stdout to O_BINARY mode
+ so that downloading binary files will not corrupt them (reported by Ilya
+ Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>) - TD
+* correct missing "\n\" in change to LYrcFile.c for pre.4 (reported by David
+ Eaton) - TD
+* reorder HTCheckForInterrupt() so that partial display mode will work for
+ VMS (reported by LP) - TD
+* fix LYK_DOWNLOAD to restrict downloading remote links for local_host_only,
+ like it was done for mailto: links recently, see comments where in - LP
+* replace few statusline messages with ones from LYMessages.en.h -LP
+
+1998-09-30 (2.8.1pre.5)
+* force compile on VMS to use stdarg.h; it was ifdef'd for __STDC__ which
+ VAX C does not define, though it does support stdarg.h (reported by Tony
+ Bolton). Test-compile HTVMS_WaisUI.c on Linux to check... - TD
+* update url for tcplib in INSTALLATION - DK
+* fix HTDOS_name trace massage - LP
+* expand "~" in include-statements in lynx.cfg (reported by LP) - TD
+* remove some obsolete stuff from INSTALLATION - HN
+* DOSPATH fix: user input URL like c:/path/file.ext (begins with drive letter)
+ now resolved as local path and will not be passed to DNS search in any case
+ (was running URL guessing process for host "c:" if file.ext not found...)
+ fix LYFillLocalFileURL() - LP
+* fix HTUserMsg2 trace massage - LP
+* add user's guide documentation for COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and
+ COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS - BJP
+* change default Unix cookie-file name to "~/.lynx_cookies" - BJP
+* customize incremental rendering (Eric Brun <erbrun@bellatlantic.net>):
+ - add -partial_thres[=NUMBER] option to set the number of lines
+ - add PARTIAL_THRES config variable in lynx.cfg to set the number of lines
+ - add partial_thres variable in .lynxrc to set the number of lines.
+ Selecting save to disk and hitting Accept Changes in options menu will save
+ this variable to the current value. Haven't looked into making a form
+ entry for this yet. With -partial_thres command line option, probably not
+ necessary.
+* fix some text in lynx.man and Lynx_user_guide.html. The man change includes
+ changes to "h" and "k" so they work whether or not vi keys are on - DK
+* workaround for inconsistency between slang ports to DOS and other platforms
+ by suppressing test of SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors. This fixes a problem where
+ colors change in the slang DOS port when the forms_based option menu is
+ accepted - DK
+
+1998-09-28 (2.8.1pre.4)
+* tentative fix for HPUX sed problems (reported by jones.peter@uqam.ca) - TD
+* update lynx.man and lynx.hlp to reflect new command-line options - TD
+* minor documentation fix - LP
+* miscellaneous fixes for build on VMS (reported by Tony Bolton) - TD
+* tweak 'const' assignment for VMS (in LYReadCFG.c and LYPrint.c) - LP
+* clarify discussion of download in Lynx user's guide (Al Gilman).
+* trim trailing newline from lines read from cookie file so that Lynx does
+ not send embedded newlines in the cookie list - BJP
+
+1998-09-27 (2.8.1pre.3)
+* fix a place in cookie_add{accept,reject}list() where cookies would be deleted
+ from memory if a persistent cookie had the same domain as an entry in
+ COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP
+* move Lynx's writing of persistent cookies to COOKIE_FILE from happening when
+ you enter the Cookie Jar page to quit time, before cleaning up temporary
+ files - BJP
+* Lynx_user_guide.html: add text about lynx.cfg - LP
+* forms-options: options names moved 2 columns to the right (is it good?) - LP
+* fix reading .lynxrc "character_set" (trim trailing spaces in fullname) - LP
+* fix ReadProgress message for LYshow_kb_rate (while <1024 bytes received
+ we showed byte-transfer rate even in KB mode), extra dot removed - LP
+* DOS text files: opening text mode switch now incorporated in LYNewTxtFile/
+ LYAppendToTxtFile and hope for the best - LP
+
+1998-09-25 (2.8.1pre.2)
+* fixed forms submission charset: was broken by me in dev26 (HText_SubmitForm()
+ in GridText.c) - LP
+* documentation updates for verbose images - LP
+* minor fix for trace message in TrimHightext() -LP
+* add compatibility with 2.8/2.7.2 lynx.cfg and (especially) .lynxrc - old
+ "character_set" parameter now acceptable - LP
+* add OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET symbol to lynx.cfg to make mail more recognizable
+ by remote recipient, it may be "US-ASCII" for 7 bit approximation as the
+ safest case or any other value. If blank, use display character set
+ (default, compatibility). Currently implemented only for "subject" in
+ "print-to-email" - LP
+* fix SGML.c so invalid characters are not dispalayed in hex UHHHH but just
+ omitted as already done for plain/text mode - LP
+* fix download' suggested file name (8bit) - LP
+* correct logic error in "Change Location" command, and allow "~" there in
+ addition to the existing "~/" prefix (reported by Ismael Cordeiro) - TD
+* ifdef'd out "don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese" from dev.23,
+ with symbol EXP_JAPANESE_SPACES, FIX_JAPANESE_SPACES based on discussion with
+ HN, LP - TD
+* correct missing '\' in generated sed-script for "make install-help" rule,
+ which changed a couple of "/html" substrings to ".html" (reported by BL) - TD
+* modify cfg_defs.sh script to handle empty token in config.cache, e.g., a line
+ such as "foo=${foo=}" (reported by Philip Chong <pchong@boopsie.ml.org>) - TD
+* modify so that lynx_cfg_infopage() and lynx_compile_opts() pages are not
+ invoked when Lynx is running -anonymous - TD
+
+1998-09-22 (2.8.1pre.1)
+* correct logic error in parse_restrictions() which caused infinite loop,
+ probably from changes in dev.8 (reported by HN) - TD
+* add SHOW_KB_RATE symbol to lynx.cfg to allow user to control whether
+ HTReadProgress should show KB/sec or bytes/sec - TD
+* modify HTReadProgress to allow user to display KB/sec or bytes/sec - BL
+* add/use new function LYstyles(), to force initialization of styles[] array
+ when it is used outside HTML.c; fixes a problem with Lynx not using styles
+ for files listed on the command line - TD
+* correct keymap strings for F1 and DO_KEY - TD
+* add keymap table entries for F1, to accommodate slang which appears to ignore
+ terminal description when keymaps are defined - TD
+
+1998-09-20 (2.8.1dev.29)
+* add checks/warnings for user agent string in forms-options menu - TD
+* change render_item to force a '/' before substituted path or directory
+ strings if (as in OS/2 EMX) absolute filenames do not normally begin with a
+ '/' -TD
+* modify HTnameOfFile_WWW() to interpret an empty acc_method as a local file,
+ allowing its use in permit_location(), making OS/2 EMX dired-mode change
+ permissions work - TD
+* make download and print menus a little more compact in intermediate/advanced
+ user modes - TD
+* correct filename shown in download menu - LP
+* change behavior of configure --enable-forms-options switch. By default, both
+ old and new options menu are available via a command-line toggle
+ "-forms_options" or lynx.cfg statement "FORMS_OPTIONS:TRUE/FALSE". Configure
+ --enable-forms-options now _disables_ old-style code, which is
+ ifdef'ed with "#ifndef EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS" - LP
+* add more pointer-checks in GridText.c so that "lynx LYNXDOWNLOAD://" does
+ not crash (reported by Wilson Cheung) - TD
+* add special case to handle NNTPSERVER environment variable, which had been
+ lowercased as part of LYReadCFG.c cleanup (reported by Wilson Cheung
+ <wcheung@netcom.com>) - TD
+* modify info-page to add link to new internal page showing the noncomment
+ lines from lynx.cfg - LP, TD
+* use function wwwName to reduce clutter - LP
+* create "lynx.cfg Information" page, comments skipped, "include" OK.
+ The link is available from '='InfoPage and 'O'ptions menu.
+ Since DJGPP/Win32 binary have no built-in absolute path for distributions
+ lynx.cfg those ports will look for a copy of lynx.cfg in lynx_help/
+ for most advanced info/comments (if you made http:// depository for lynx help
+ please care of it) - LP
+* tweak helpfilepath URL (for DOSPATH only) - LP
+* some cleanup of cp852, cp850, cp775 - LP
+
+1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.28)
+* minor fix to make PRCS ProjectDate print in "dd mmm yyyy" form - TD
+1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.27)
+* minor fixes for recent (dev24 and dev25) chartrans changes - LP
+* add LYNX_DATE definitions in userdefs.h; Info Page now shows the date of your
+ lynx along with version number and a link to the latest sources. - LP
+* use ECHO_CC symbol in install-help rule to control whether the sed commands
+ are echoed - TD
+* corrected install-help rule to avoid getting compress-suffix repeated in
+ the generated/updated files - TD
+* documentation nit for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (Michael Warner)
+* use getsockname_s rather than getsockname for djgpp (from patch by Gisle
+ Vanem) - DK
+* add .bz2 suffix to lynx.cfg and HTInit.c, for bzip2 utility - DK
+* modify store_cookie to suppress warning message for invalid domain if Lynx is
+ setup to accept all cookies - LV
+* modify/expand LYLocalFileToURL() function, getting rid of most places where
+ inline concatenation is used for "file://localhost/<filename>", as well
+ as eliminating a number of static buffers - TD
+* move fallback definitions for POSIX S_ISLNK, etc., out of NeXT ifdef's, to
+ make this compile on Apollo (reported by David Eaton) - TD
+* restructured pathname-tests in LYLocal.c, using common utility functions
+ ok_stat, ok_lstat, ok_file_or_dir to simplify freeing pointer allocated
+ by HTfullURL_toFile - TD
+* modify HTLocalName, making it a macro around a more flexible function
+ HTnameOfFile_WWW, to reuse logic for stripping off "file://localhost" and
+ "file:" prefixes, fixing some places where a spurious '/' would be left in
+ EMX local filenames (other macros: HTfullURL_toFile, HTpartURL_toFile) - TD
+* modify configure script macro CF_PATH_PROGS for OS/2 EMX, so that compiled-in
+ utility pathnames work - TD
+* use HTDOS.c module for OS/2 EMX, since it has similar device syntax - TD
+* correct logic for wrapping long lines, to not use the rightmost column of the
+ screen, fixes a problem with duplicated character (reported by LP) - TD
+* correct logic for dumping screen to file, so that blank lines are retained,
+ not counted in the logic for pruning soft-newlines which supports wrapped
+ lines - TD
+* add info and user messages to traces - TD
+
+1998-09-12 (2.8.1dev.26)
+* change behavior of NSL_FORK and related I/O (BL):
+ - Make URL guessing (www.huh.com? www.huh.org? www.huh.net?) interruptible.
+ - Make URL guessing from the command line interruptible.
+ - Use select() instead of FIONREAD. This makes it work on OSes where
+ previously it only *looked* like it was working.
+ - select() on stdin as well as the child pipe, when using [n]curses (not
+ SLANG). This allows interrupt to be processed instantly, without
+ up-to-1-second delay.
+ - While looping, 1 second at a time, bail out after "too many" (currently 50)
+ loops: just in case something weird happens, like select() returning some
+ unexpected error that we ignore.
+ - Make sure child processes are always killed and reaped.
+ - Close pipe ends as soon as possible.
+ - Now write the length down the pipe (using a known-to-the-program length of
+ sizeof(int)) first -- this both helps workaround old CMU TCP bugs and the
+ fact that select() doesn't let us get number of bytes ready, like FIONREAD
+ does.
+* change default for NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL to TRUE (patch by HN)
+* use url for "W3C HTML Validation Service" rather than "A Kinder, Gentler HTML
+ Validator" -TD
+* update url for HTML Quick Reference Guide (report by LE) - TD
+* modify verbose images to show ISMAPs and USEMAPs (patch by LE).
+* fix typos in AttrList.h, LYStrings.h (reported by LV & HN) - TD
+* Chartrans recovery and cleanup: by introducing an invariant
+ "current_char_set and UCLYhndl_for_unspec always valid charsets" we solve
+ possible problems with invalid/undeclared charsets. Use
+ 'safeUCGetLYhndl_byMIME()' for reading charset information from
+ lynx.cfg/userdefs.h/command line switches to recover possible typos by
+ fallback to ISO-8859-1; If UCLYhndl_for_unrec or UCLYhndl_HTFile_for_unspec
+ not set explicitly - now fallback to UCLYhndl_for_unspec (was before, but
+ not clear in certain places). Add comments to UCMap.h, add comments on
+ chartrans initialization in LYMain.c. UCAssume_localMIMEcharset and
+ UCAssume_unrecMIMEcharset now removed (UCLYhandl_* do all the stuff). - LP
+* LYCharSets.c: LYRawMode code simplified and comments added. It was realized
+ that UCAssume_MIMEcharset may differ from its handler as LYRawMode history.
+ Also: HTMLSetRawModeDefault() moved into HTMLUseCharacterSet() to reduce
+ clutter, declare HTMLSetCJKCharacterSet() as PRIVATE. - LP
+* more "big5" bugs fixed (in HTMIME.c and HTFile.c); function Set_HTCJK() added
+ to LYCharSets.c - LP
+* LYCharUtils.c: META charset code corrected against 2.7.2, obsolete code
+ removed - LP
+* partial mode now repaint the screen in one stage with a complete display
+ ('display_lines' received, fix in HTPartialDisplay()). Incremental rendering
+ of the first page may be annoying on slow connection (reported by Nelson
+ Henry Eric <nelsonhe@nara.kindai.ac.jp>) - LP
+* temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by introducing
+ a flag in HText_beginInput(), so this side effect still only happens for long
+ documents with forms input mixed with normal href= link. - LP
+* print menu: fixed document URL near the top (was temp file name) - LP
+* forms-options menu: fixed screen size in Novice mode - LP
+* limit length of strings copied via tok_values[] in LYCookie.c - TD
+* clean up a few memory leaks in cookie_add_acceptlist() and
+ cookie_add_rejectlist() in LYCookie.c. These were leaking 4 bytes for each
+ entry in COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - BJP
+* fix to LYLoadCookies() which was causing duplicate invalid cookies to be
+ loaded - BJP
+* split out install-doc rule in top-level makefile to install extra
+ documentation files in $(libdir)/lynx_doc (request by HN) - TD
+* improved algorithm to set 'secure_value', used in forms-options to circumvent
+ spoofing (based on comments from Mike Castle) - TD
+* integrate WB's mouse changes (see 1997-04-24) for page-up/down into the Unix
+ flavors of mouse support (e.g., ncurses and slang) - TD
+* use ncurses define_key to implement lynx-keymaps (see dev.10) - TD
+* modify slang keymap code to work with slang 0.99-38 - TD
+* replace several ifdef'd pathname constructions to use LYAddPathToHome() - TD
+* make keymaps file consistently named on Unix and VMS - TD
+* remove redundant "Lynx" from internal-page titles (suggested by LP) - TD
+* remove install-log makefile target, generate cfg_defs.h file directly from
+ lynx_cfg.h and config.cache, to compile-in the configuration-definitions
+ rather than rely on external file lynx_site.txt - TD
+
+1998-09-06 (2.8.1dev.25)
+* corrected compiled-in path for lynx_site.txt - TD
+* implement logic for exec-links in forms-options page - TD
+* add configure options --enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts - TD
+* correct logic for show-color in forms-options page (reported by DK) - TD
+* implement logic to set $DISPLAY in forms-options page - TD
+* add/use functions LYsetXDisplay() and LYgetXDisplay() to reduce clutter - TD
+* retain help-link on internal pages only for those where the pages would be
+ pushed onto the history stack, and only in novice mode - TD
+* absorb LYSystem.h into LYUtils.h, adding LYSystem() and LYSysShell functions
+ to LYUtils.c to hide djgpp clutter - TD
+* limit strings passed to mailer in LYMail.c to 7-bit ASCII, converting other
+ characters to '?'. This guards against trash on the end of the mailing
+ address in a mailto link (from Duncan Simpson <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
+* add fallback definitions for <sys/stat.h> S_xxx macros to tcp.h (from report
+ by Francisco A Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu> that OpenStep 4.0
+ lacks definition for S_IWOTH) - TD
+* modify quote_pathname() so that for DJGPP it does not put single-quotes
+ around the result - DK
+* correct a missing assignment to turn bold off in split_line (GridText.c) - LE
+* Fixed: forms input in display_partial mode! Previously hightext was printed
+ at wrong positions while loading was in process (try -debug_partial to see
+ the bug). Fix made in HText_pageDisplay: we call HText_trimHightext() which
+ was the main part of HText_endAppend() before. Seems no more problems
+ reported from incremental rendering mode! - LP
+* set PARTIAL mode ON by default, unless it disabled in lynx.cfg or by
+ configure --disable-partial option - LP
+* restore temporary -debug_partial switch, broken in dev.23 - LP
+* made trace in HText_appendCharacter() a little more readable
+ for lynx special characters - LP
+* chartrans: human-readable character set names in Options Menu now changed
+ according to Netscape 4.x style - "language (MIMEname)", it looks more useful
+ and reduce chaos in people's heads. Documentation corrected
+ (option_help.html/Lynx_User_guide.html). Minor tip: "Central and Eastern
+ European" was truncated to "Eastern European" because of space limitation in
+ popup menu. (Changes in chrtrans/*.tbl, LYCharSets.c, also docs including
+ userdefs.h/lynx.cfg). Since names were changed, users on display other than
+ iso-8859-1 should go to options menu and resave .lynxrc (and probably correct
+ lynx.cfg - character_set now uses MIME notation in sync with other charset
+ settings, although complete name string is still acceptable for this
+ field) - LP
+* an attempt made to tweak the code replacing lynx internal 'main' charset '0'
+ (iso-8859-1 in fact) with its MIME name - LP
+* rename ifdef EXP_8BIT_TOUPPER in favor of lynx.cfg switch
+ FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER - LP
+* remove a lot of "(char **)" casts from HTML.c which obscured some type
+ mismatches - TD
+* add/use functions LYIsHtmlSep, LYAddHtmlSep, LYTrimHtmlSep, LYIsPathSep,
+ LYAddPathSep, LYTrimPathSep to reduce clutter - TD
+* fix a bug, present at least since dev.17, where lynx can't download files if
+ it is started from one of the root directories of a disk drive, since it is
+ trying to write to "c:\\file.ext", rather than "c:\file.ext" - DK
+* correct a comment in userdefs.h; commercial Japanese sites are named with
+ co.jp, not com.jp (LV).
+* correct some debug messages in LYCookie.c - BJP
+* fix a missing </h1> in ShowInfo.c - SKY
+* modified '+'->' ' conversion to allow Unix commands to have '+' beginning
+ options - TD
+* sorted all option items (i.e., static variables, postoptions(),
+ gen_options()) according to the sections they are in - SKY
+* added '+'->' ' conversion for forms-options values - SKY
+* centered 'save to disk' and put a dash between 'accept' and 'reset' for
+ clarity - SKY
+* add "-cookie_file=" commandline option to specify cookie file - BJP
+* add "cookie_file=" option to .lynxrc - BJP
+* add "cookie_file:" option to lynx.cfg - BJP
+* change default cookie file to "Home_Dir()/cookies" (or sys$login:cookies
+ for VMS, which may or may not work, DOS also needs to be checked) - BJP
+* add cookies switch to options menu - LP
+* Security considerations and form-based options: items restricted in
+ gen_options() should be ALSO restricted under the same conditions in
+ postoptions() to prevent a limited access user to edit option's HTML code
+ manually and submit a restricted items. This may be not a good idea to have
+ two functions in sync but those functions are synchronized anyway. Please
+ read comments inside the functions if change something! - LP
+* add new functions BeginInternalPage and EndInternalPage to reduce clutter in
+ code that sets up internal pages (email from LP).
+* change version in makefile.in to 2-8-1 -DK
+* the code in GridText that adds control characters to the current line
+ does not test for buffer overflow. Normally Lynx gets away with this because
+ it will wrap the current line as soon as the line exceeds the display width,
+ but if you have a file with nothing but control characters with no
+ displayable text in-between (a few thousand hidden links will do), then Lynx
+ bombs. Modified to silently ignore excess control characters as well as add
+ a few extra bytes when allocating the line buffer to allow for a bunch of
+ control characters followed by a kanji or utf-8 sequence. (patch by Dick
+ Wesseling <ftu@fi.uu.nl>)
+* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTInit.c, which is not used, since
+ src/HTInit.c has this functionality - TD
+* change ID="<number>" in Lynx_users_guide.html to ID="<name>" to appease
+ weblint; tested with IE&NS - TD
+* Al's convention of '#<number>' into '#<id name>' in Lynx_users_guide.html is
+ included - SKY
+
+1998-08-31 (2.8.1dev.24)
+* re-correct DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (reported by LV) - TD
+
+1998-08-29 (2.8.1dev.23)
+* make interim fix for gzip'd html files until we can resolve portability
+ issues raised by SKY's renaming - TD
+* implement LY_SOFT_NEWLINE, to mark places where wrapping is done in
+ HText_appendCharacter, to allow printing to join lines back together
+ (reported by LP) - TD
+* correct missing assignment in change to HText_appendCharacter, fix a core
+ dump - TD
+* removed SKY's change that attempted to skip help-links, since it causes a
+ core dump, e.g., when viewing source - TD
+* use LYCloseTempFP in forms-options code and LYPrint.c where file was opened
+ with LYOpenTemp, to fix a core dump - TD
+* All XYZ_TITLE defines of UIPs (User Interface Page) are collected in
+ LYMessages_en.h for multi language support - SKY
+* Head and H1 of each UIP is standardized; reduced to 1 line. In this line a
+ context sensitive Help anchor introduced which is skipped by default; i.e.,
+ 'd' will directly goto 'Save to Disk' not to the help anchor - SKY
+* Download and Print UIPs are divided into 'Standard' and 'Local additions'.
+ Current and Suggested Filenames are printed on the page which was hidden on
+ the status line or accessed only by '=' - SKY
+* Information page now has links to either development or lynx home pages
+ depending on LYNX_RELEASE define. Besides compile options can also be
+ accessed on this page: $helpdir/lynx_site.txt. A file derived from
+ 'config.cache'. Its corresponding makefile macro is 'install-log' - SKY
+* New Form-based options page is re-organized; logical sections are introduced
+ and sorted alphabetically (except for 'User Mode' - SKY
+* All links in the help files are marked, i.e., each
+ 'href="../_filename.html_#section"' is converted to
+ 'href="../@FILENAME@#section"'. This is useful if a help filename or
+ link has to be changed through out whole package - SKY
+* 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' is introduced which contains
+ FILENAME=_filename.html_ definitions. Format and details are given in the
+ file - SKY
+* All help files are renamed from '.html' -> '.html_' - SKY
+* For context sensitive help links in UIPs 'src/LYHelp.h' is created with all
+ the filenames marked like the help files. It will be included from
+ LYGlobal.h. In 'src/makefile.in' necessary changes are done to load the
+ filenames from 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' - SKY
+* To be able to compress help files '--enable-gzip-help' option is added in
+ configure script. In 'makefile' 'install-help:' is updated.
+ If COMPRESS_PROG and COMPRESS_EXT are *both* left empty (default) no
+ compression will be carried. For the moment compression is restricted only
+ to 'gzip'. Necessary updates are done in configure.in - SKY
+* documentation fixes for nsl-fork, print screen - PW
+* don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese - HN
+* use title information rather than suggested filename as a subject line when
+ printing a page to email - LP
+* add verbose_images to old-style options menu, and the .lynxrc - LE
+* add verbose_images and useragent to forms-based options menu - LP
+* disable download of "mailto:" links (reported by SKY (Sinan Kaan Yerli)
+ <sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ) - LP
+* Change HTUserMsg to HTInfoMsg for "ALREADY_AT_BEGIN" and "ALREADY_AT_END"
+ messages to make it less annoying - LP
+* reduce clutter in mainloop by inserting LYpop() in postoptions() - LP
+* makefile.dos: split long lines - LP
+* Fix bug with TAIPEI big5 charset in src/LYCharUtils.c
+ (this typo also found in lynx2.7.2: "big-5" instead of "big5"),
+ patch by Shou-Chuan Lai <chuan@cs.nthu.edu.tw> - LP
+* Add -debug_partial command line switch so we got MessageSecs dely
+ between incremental rendering stages if partial display mode is ON.
+ (MessageSecs available from lynx.cfg and set to 2 sec by default).
+ The problem in incremental rendering of forms input was reported by SKY
+ (Sinan Kaan Yerli) <sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ), still not fixed
+ but now we may enter form-based options menu in -debug_partial mode
+ and rerender the page with Cntrl-R to see what is happening in fact - LP
+* Serious bug fixed for DISP_PARTIAL: two asynchronous processes synchronized.
+ HTDisplayPartial() synchronized by flag against HText_new() which create
+ the new HTMainText object. Otherwise HTDisplayPartial() sometimes was
+ matching old HTMainText (with its own line counter) and repaint previous doc,
+ not a new one. TRACE log now got a message from HText_pageDisplay - LP
+* fixed last chartrans changes, lines such as
+ #0x99 #NOTDEFINED
+ should not be commented with leading comment symbol because they are ignored
+ by makeuctbl in fact - LP
+* modify DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS to only modify the nonstandard case,
+ thereby making that more restrictive, and restoring standard behavior
+ (reported by HN) - TD
+
+1998-08-21 (2.8.1dev.22)
+* correct test for -std1 compiler option on Digital Unix (reported by Michael
+ Warner) - TD
+* modify treatment of COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS, so that if it is set TRUE, two or more
+ concurrent BRs will be collapsed into a single blank line. Note that the
+ valid way to insert extra blank lines in HTML is via a PRE block with only
+ newlines in the block (David Henderson <davidh@psiphi.org>)
+* clarification in userdefs.h - HN
+* MS Windows codepages updated for EURO SIGN (0x20AC), from ftp.unicode.org -LP
+* minor fix for DISP_PARTIAL, disable scrolling when HTTP request already sent
+ but the new document not displayed on the screen yet - LP
+* ifdef DOS/WINDOWS to open lynx.trace in text mode - LP
+* rearrange text in lynx.cfg concerning character_set - LP
+* correct miscellaneous typos - LP
+* Fixed: Verbose images now work with [IMAGE]-Submit. Also, fixed the core
+ dump when clickable_images is on. The problem was an oversight in
+ MakeNewTitle() - LE
+* reviewed the INSTALLATION file as it relates to DOS and updated it for the
+ newly released version of PDCurses 2.3. Added the HAVE_GETBKGD define to
+ makefile.dos, fixes some of the unusual background color handling that was
+ present in the PDCurses DOS port - DK
+* correct ifdef: LYOptions.c fails to build with -DEXP_FORMS_OPTIONS but
+ _without_ -DDIRED_SUPPORT (e.g., djgpp) - LP
+* redesigned cookie_add_{accept,reject}list in LYCookie.c -- they work now -BJP
+* added COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS in .lynxrc handling to LYrcFile.c - BJP
+* slight spacing fix in lynx.cfg - BJP
+* added blurb in lynx.cfg about COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP
+* -accept_all_cookies on the commandline works as a toggle now (against
+ lynx.cfg value -- NOT against .lynxrc value) - BJP
+* change HTAlert for bad partial reference to an HTUserMsg to make it less
+ annoying (request by Philip Webb, Jason F McBrayer)
+
+1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21)
+* correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD
+* reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros,
+ PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD
+* modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options,
+ by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and
+ calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP
+* add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD
+* add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD
+* make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD
+* exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP
+* The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx
+ actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for
+ arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on
+ the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were
+ failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps
+ these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP
+ mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the
+ patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and
+ makefile.wsl - DK
+* The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the
+ default - DK
+* correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK
+* modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document
+ source - TD
+* add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD
+* clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman).
+* Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with
+ a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU
+ (NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey
+ Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset
+ frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g.
+ on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid.
+ Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported
+ starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg
+ added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP
+* Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choices which are not available under
+ the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print
+ to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP
+* Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize
+ option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label
+ "raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for
+ others. Cleanup postoptions() by introducing flags - LP
+* Force HTuncache_current_document if gen_options() invoked. This is a
+ dirty fix until we uncache previous document only when necessary. - LP
+* Add time/date in addition to X-URL and BASE (PrependBaseToSource), (request
+ by Hans-Joachim Gurt <gurt@nacamar.net>) - LP
+* Turn partial_display off if we are not interactive (reported by Ari Moisio
+ <armoi@sci.fi>) - LP
+* more fixes/refinements for auto-configuring socks5 on AIX (report by Brian
+ Hauber) - TD
+
+1998-08-06 (2.8.1dev.20)
+* rename eat_all_cookies to accept_all_cookies everywhere - BJP
+* added ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES lines to the dist lynx.cfg with the appropriate
+ description - BJP
+* added COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS to lynx.cfg. These are
+ comma delimited lists of the domains to handle - BJP
+* added cookie_add_acceptlist and cookie_add_rejectlist to LYCookie.c, which
+ are passed the list of domains from lynx.cfg and add them to the global
+ cookie list. These may be subject to change, as I might not be handling the
+ LYstrsep() right -- it works with dev19's LYstrsep(), but hasn't been tested
+ with Bela's... - BJP
+* added a big ugly ifdef'd out section to LYrcFile.c with what I have so far on
+ the .lynxrc handling of COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS. Don't use it. Makes
+ nasty segfaults - BJP (Brian J Pardy)
+* fix a bug where the DJGPP_KEYHANDLER version doesn't allow movement by arrow
+ keys within a text area. Undo previous patch to LYGetFile.c, with LYgetch
+ now changed where it is defined in LYStrings.c, rather than at each place
+ where it is used. The patch in LYStrings.c regarding Windows should fix the
+ problem with keymapping that occurred when we got rid of RAWDOSKEYHACK - DK
+* turn on DISP_PARTIAL in makefile.dos - DK
+* correct typo in LYOptions.c - BL
+* corrected logic of LYstrsep - BL
+* Few minor typos and forgotten notes in man/hlp/cfg files; also quote Bela's
+ note on lynx.cfg INCLUDE facility - LP
+* correct typos in makefile.wsl, makefile.dsl - LP
+* correct typos, fix character set problems in recent changes of
+ LYOptions.c - LP
+* move include for socks.h past tcp.h, to allow for redefinition of some
+ symbols on AIX (report by Brian Hauber) - TD
+* adjust headers so that each can be compiled separately, eliminating order
+ dependencies - TD
+* include tcp.h always from within HTUtils.h, to enforce ordering of headers
+ needed for socks5 definitions - TD
+* use S_ISREG, S_ISDIR macros to reduce clutter - TD
+* make test for OpenHiddenFile to overwrite user's file more stringent by
+ ensuring that the given pathname is not a link from a world-writable
+ directory (reported by BL, with suggested patch) - TD
+* add/use LYPathLeaf() function to reduce clutter of pathname-leaf parsing - TD
+* eliminate redundant definition of 'FREE() - TD
+* ifdef'd LYOptions.c to reduce unneeded code wrt --enable-forms-options - TD
+* check in OpenHiddenFile to ensure that we overwrite only regular files,
+ since we also force the file's permissions to 0600 - TD
+
+1998-07-31 (2.8.1dev.19)
+* modify OpenHiddenFile so that it can overwrite files owned by the real
+ user if the O_EXCL open fails because the file already exists - TD
+* add experimental forms-based options screen (Mike Castle):
+ This is ifdef'd with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS and configured with
+ --enable-forms-options.
+* add option -eat_all_cookies and corresponding config variable
+ EAT_ALL_COOKIES - BJP (Brian J Pardy <posterkid@psnw.com>)
+* correct spurious 'Content' string versus newline after X-URL in LYMail.c
+ (Bela Lubkin, LV).
+* updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3 - TD
+* updated experimental persistent-cookie support based on RP's patch: Replaced
+ the call to strsep with a home-rolled one for those people who don't have it.
+ (Reported by Bela Lubkin, Mon, 27 Jul 1998 16:51:14 -0700 on the mailing
+ list.) Bela's modification to make some character arrays static is also
+ included -TD
+* nits/spelling in LYPrint.c, LYUtils.c (reported by Mike Castle) -TD
+* changed LYGetFile.c to build lynx2.8.1dev.18 with SLANG and the
+ DJGPP_KEYHANDLER for DOS - DK
+* fix a couple of places where the return-value of calloc was not checked
+ (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>) - TD
+* correct typo in command-line parsing of -lss option (reported by Chris
+ Kottaridis <chrisk@BSDI.COM>) -TD
+* define _AIX if needed for socks5 (request by Brian Hauber) - TD
+* improved configure test for getgroups array type - TD
+
+1998-07-24 (2.8.1dev.18)
+* improved test for socks5, to account for special cases on AIX (reported by
+ Brian Hauber) - TD
+* several changes to reduce the number of gcc cast-qual warnings, by adding
+ CONST, removing casts - TD
+* add configure option --enable-syslog to enable system logging of requested
+ URL's - TD
+* add RP's experimental persistent-cookie support, and configure option
+ --enable-persistent-cookies, ifdef'd with EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES - TD
+* removed references to DOSRAWKEYHACK, which is no longer used. Modified the
+ dos makefile for libwww and makefile.dsl to default to using display_partial.
+ Modified INSTALLATION to reflect the successful use of slang with the dos
+ port and the now confusing alternatives when compiling the dos port, along
+ with some other updates - DK
+* modify lynx_enable_mouse() for pdcurses configuration so that mouse support
+ is disabled unless -use_mouse is specified. This is ifdef'd with
+ __BORLANDC__ for the time being (WB).
+* resync build-slang.com, against build.com - TD
+* add $(MMSQUALIFIERS) to top-level descrip.mms, e.g., to use options such as
+ /FROM, /IGNORE, /NOACTION, etc., and $(INCLUDES) definitions to lower-level
+ descrip.mms files. Improve error-recovery in build.com (patches by Liam
+ Davis <ld@stian.demon.co.uk>)
+* use memset to clear soc_in fields before doing a connect, needed for BSD/OS
+ (patch by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
+* remove spurious sprintf params when using FIXED_RECORD_COMMAND_MASK which has
+ only one parameter, change VMSsignal from void* to void (report by Mike Xun
+ Ma <mike@mira.concordia.ca> ) - TD
+* use open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL) to open new hidden files - TD
+* eliminate_*putenv_cmd variables used by LYReadCFG.c as placeholders for
+ putenv calls - TD
+* disable include of <sys/filio.h> for VMS, from report by Chris Doran) - TD
+* fixes for VMS: mismatched curly brace, etc., from CTRACE and buffer-overflow
+ changes (reported by chris.doran@gblis.mail.abb.com) - TD
+* correct a loop in HTML_start_element that strips 7 leading characters from
+ an href, fixes a core-dump in traversing ".." to "/" - TD
+* use new macro SetOutputMode to reduce some clutter - TD
+* modify interface of LYCachedTemp so fileCache member is reset to null, fixes
+ bug in my recent cleanup of temp-files, which caused a core-dump - TD
+* add kb/sec rate to HTReadProgress message - TD
+* modify computation in HTReadProgress to interpolate rate - LP
+* One more fix for DISP_PARTIAL: to avoid blinking while reloading document
+ with Newline_partial > 1 (say, we press '*' and noproxy) we repaint the page
+ only when Newline_partial <= HText_getNumOfLines() - LP
+* add "-verbose" command-line switch - LP
+* DOS fix: open stdout in TEXT mode for -help and startup error message - LP
+* correct use of $mapname variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (Tomas Vanhala)
+
+1998-06-25 (2.8.1dev.17)
+* add configure option --with-socks5 (request by Brian Hauber
+ <bhauber@frenzy.com>) - TD
+* define symbols HAVE_CURSESX_H, HAVE_JCURSES_H (report by Georg Schwarz
+ <schwarz@physik.tu-berlin.de>) - TD
+* modify logic that reports progress of download to update screen no more than
+ once per second, fix an overrun problem (reported by Jacob Poon
+ <a324poon@cdf.toronto.edu>) - TD
+
+1998-06-11 (2.8.1dev.16)
+* modify configure script to check for special compiler options which are
+ assumed for particular platforms (suggested by BL) - TD
+* modify display_page in GridText.c so that TRACE does not cause a repaint,
+ since that causes colors to be incorrectly rendered when tracing - TD
+* fix a few of the signed/unsigned mismatch warnings in GridText.c - TD
+* correct pathname in LYOpenScratch call for bookmarks (reported by DK) - TD
+* DISP_PARTIAL: fix initialization of newdoc.line (case LYK_DOWNLOAD,
+ mainloop) to correct display while 'd'ownloading files (it was initialized
+ _after_ the download completed and was good enough without display_partial
+ mode). - LP
+* correct some ifdef's for DISP_PARTIAL - LP
+
+1998-06-04 (2.8.1dev.14)
+* minor formatting fixes and documentation for upload screen - LP
+* remove config.cache at beginning of configure script - TD
+* eliminate cast for GetChar in LYStrings.c (from bug report by Michael Warner,
+ analysis by BL) - TD
+* shorten logs from WWW/* by disabling echo of compiler options as in src/* -TD
+* add configure test for types pid_t and uid_t - TD
+* add configure test for array type used in getgroups call, to distinguish
+ between BSD and POSIX variations which use different sizes - TD
+* modify configure script to compile DISP_PARTIAL code by default - TD
+* fix compiler warnings dealing with unreached statements - TD
+* change 'keymap[] array to unsigned char, move logic that relies on its size
+ into LYKeymap.c - TD
+* make LYOpenScratch() work properly for 8.3 names (reported by DK) - TD
+* DISP_PARTIAL: introduce separate variables Newline_partial and
+ NumOfLines_partial, initialize them in mainloop and synchronize with Newline
+ later when the reload completes (case NORMAL). To reduce the CPU usage while
+ downloading, call HText_pageDisplay only if NumOfLines_partial is in the
+ current display page or any Scroll key pressed by the user. We disable
+ partial_display if requested URL have #fragment, otherwise user will see the
+ top page first (yes, s/he will be moved to #fragment when the download
+ completed, but only if no scroll keys were pressed before!). Processing of
+ "END" key changed from MAXINT to real number of lines in the document
+ (important for display_partial mode) - LP
+* correct problem that caused DGJPP version built with slang 1.2.2 to lose its
+ socket whenever the rendering of a http URL is interrupted with "z". This is
+ in HTCheckForInterrupt in LYUtils.c (reported by John Lewis) - DK
+* add files pdcurses.key, slang.key, djgpp.key to document the keybindings
+ used for DJGPP version - DK
+* allow mapping of ALT and Function keys with the DOS port for both the
+ PDCurses version and the SLANG version with the DJGPP keyhandler. The
+ extended keys to be mapped have to be specified numerically according to the
+ definitions in curses.h (for PDCurses) or in keys.h (for SLANG with DJGPP
+ keyhandler). DJGPP maps keys up to 0x293, while PDCurses maps keys up to
+ 0x1c0 - DK
+* don't try to use -std1 option for gcc on Digital Unix (reported by Michael
+ Warner <warner@wsu.edu>) - TD
+
+1998-05-23 (2.8.1dev.13)
+* use new function LYLocalFileToUrl to cleanup some pathname references - TD
+* eliminate 'tempname()' function, using LYNewTxtFile, etc., with new functions
+ LYOpenTemp, LYCloseTemp, etc., so that temporary files are opened with
+ appropriate permissions - TD
+* correct use of cache variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (reported by BL) - TD
+* spell out the logic in HTPlain.c against 2.7.2: there was a certain problem
+ with chartrans in text/plain mode (LYRawMode was wrongly interfering,
+ problem reported by Jacob Poon & FM). - LP
+* modify logic for zero-width spaces in conv_uni_to_pc to exclude 0x200a - LP
+* supply missing "break", which was forcing raw utf-8 output in URLs (NOT hex
+ escaped) - LP
+
+1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.12)
+* remove unneeded definition used in testing dev.11 from config.hin) - TD
+1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.11)
+* fixes for function-keys with slang configuration on DOS (patch by DK).
+* correct missing '&' in command-line options entry for syslog (reported by

+* added keymaps/keysym patch (it really should be integrated with the normal
+ lynx.cfg file (John E Davis).
+* tweak chartrans, "Convert the octet to Unicode": incoming symbols >127 but <
+ LYlowest_eightbit[IN-charset] now ignored, previously displayed as UFFFD.
+ (SGML.c, HTPlain.c, LYCharUtils.c) - LP
+* removed conflicting/unused declaration of 'bzero()' from tcp.h (from report
+ by Ashraf Zorkani <zorkani@aucegypt.edu>) - TD
+* modify the set/unset/toggle options to allow "on" and "off" values also - TD
+* apply the "partial display" patch, modified from
+ http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0398/msg00993.html
+ The behavior is controlled by a compile-time option (DISP_PARTIAL), by a
+ command-line argument (-partial), and by a lynx.cfg option (PARTIAL). - BL
+* extend command-line option processing of set/unset/toggle options
+ -toggle- (set that toggle to FALSE)
+ -toggle+ (set that toggle to TRUE)
+ e.g.,
+ lynx -show_cursor+ -case-
+ or with explicit 1/0 values, e.g.,
+ -toggle=0 (set that toggle to FALSE)
+ -toggle=1 (set that toggle to TRUE)
+ NOTE: this allows you to change a few flags that would previously have been
+ controlled by lynx.cfg, and are security-related, such as -locexec or
+ -telnet. I believe there is no issue, because if the user can control the
+ command line to Lynx, he could have run `lynx -cfg my_cfg_file` and
+ circumvented those settings anyway. - BL
+* fix for buffer-overrun in LYMail.c when processing a mailto:very-long-address
+ URL - BL
+* correct, for OS/2 EMX, a place in LYConvertToURL() which must not use
+ HTDOS_wwwName() (patch by Jason F McBrayer <jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>)
+* similar changes to LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.wsl,
+ for building DOS version with slang - Bill Schiavo
+* modify LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.dsl, for building
+ DOS version with slang - DK
+* fix to improve reloading if user changed assume_charset in options menu
+ using ^A, which sometimes did not work - LP
+* add several chartrans-related files to test/ directory: spaces.html,
+ c1.html, raw8bit.html - LP
+* fixes to compile on SunOS with K&R compiler - TD
+
+1998-05-03 (2.8.1dev.9)
+* correct missing counter increment in tempname(), from cleanup - TD
+
+1998-05-02 (2.8.1dev.8)
+* Fix for CGI-related URLs processing (syntax: ?x=1&yz=2). To avoid interfere
+ with SGML we restrict '=' as terminator for a named entity, this only applied
+ for HREF= attribute translation (LYCharUtils.c). (reported by Alex Matulich
+ alex@unicorn.us.com & FM). - LP
+* restore information in the INSTALLATION file for the DOS port on patching
+ tcplib. Also, clarifies the location of nullpkt. It also clarifies
+ that the PDCurses beta has incorporated some of the patches we made for
+ the lynx DOS port - DK
+* modify logic that updates bookmark file after removing a link to use copy
+ rather than rename, to solve file-ownership problems (patch by Paul
+ Gilmartin, though I kept the permissions check) - TD
+* reduce a little of the clutter in tempname() with fmt_tempname, and
+ bad_tempname functions. Though this doesn't address the security problems it
+ does fix the problem with signed getpid values. - TD
+* simplify LYUtils.c with compare_type() function - TD
+* add/use string functions LYLowerCase, LYUpperCase, LYRemoveBlanks (replaces
+ collapse_spaces), LYTrimLeading, LYTrimTrailing (incidentally fixes core-dump
+ in LYCookie.c) - TD
+* rewrite read_cfg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a
+ patch by John E Davis) - TD
+* rewrite parse_arg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a
+ patch by John E Davis) - TD
+* omit -Olimit compiler option on Digital UNIX 4.0 (patch by Tomas Vanhala).
+* modify configure test for acs_map[] array to work on Digital UNIX 4.0
+ (reported by Jim Spath and Tomas Vanhala <vanhala@ling.helsinki.fi>). - TD
+
+1998-04-23 (2.8.1dev.7)
+* fix core-dump when pressing '.' on a page with no links (patch by
+ Jan Hlavacek <lahvak@math.ohio-state.edu>).
+* initial changes to use macros CTRACE and tfp to replace explicit use of
+ stderr for the trace log. Remaining work is required for some complex
+ expressions, switching file pointers and for perror-substitute - TD
+* ifdef's for OS/2 EMX, mostly pathname tweaks (patch by Jason F McBrayer
+ <jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>).
+
+1998-04-18 (2.8.1dev.6)
+* correct misplaced ifdef in LYMail.c, which caused Cc to not work (patch
+ by LE).
+* convert \x escapes to octal form (reported by Claude Soma) - TD
+* modify configure script to check for cursesX before curses library, for
+ ultrix 4.3 (reported by Claude Soma <soma_c@decus.fr>) - TD
+* incorporate lpansi into LYPrint.c (patch by HN).
+* modify top-level makefile to use INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA
+ consistently, rather than installbin and installdoc (reported by
+ <karl@deas.harvard.edu>). - TD
+* modify treatment of -auth and -pauth options to allow setting a blank
+ password, e.g., -pauth=user: specifies a blank password, and -pauth=user
+ leaves the password unspecified (patch by Frederick P Herrmann
+ <fph@tiac.net>).
+* Change documentation to indicate "Lynx.trace" file rather than
+ "lynx.trace" -TD
+* Change default for USE_TRACE_LOG in userdefs.h to TRUE, to make behavior
+ consistent with 2.7.2 - TD
+* Rename no_color_video symbol in LYCurses.c to NoColorVideo, to avoid conflict
+ with term.h, which is included by curses.h on some systems (reported by Paul
+ Gilmartin) - TD
+* modify include-path in djgpp makefile to avoid conflicting tcp.h - DK
+* Add -tagsoup option, for initializing parser directly to TagSoup - TD
+* Modify HTML.c, ifdef'ing some of the logic involved in unstacking tags. It
+ appears to be not completely necessary: makes Lynx a little faster, at the
+ cost of making the tagsoup parser do the wrong thing. Some entries in the
+ tagsoup DTD table versus the sortasgml table have SGML_EMPTY versus
+ SGML_MIXED. This information is used to control unstacking (in the
+ color-style configuration as well). There is still a problem evidenced
+ when toggling between the two parsers in the Lynx main help page, but that
+ appears to be missing logic in 2.8's version of the tagsoup parser. - TD
+* Modify HTTCP.c to check the length returned from gethostbyname(), which
+ returns 0 on error on a SunOS 4 system (reported by Paul Gilmartin) - TD
+
+1998-03-29 (2.8.1dev.5)
+* Fixed my typo for FNAMES_8_3 define - WB
+* Added SYSTEM_MAIL and SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS defines for DOSPATH target - WB
+* Better kluge to set terminal type for DOSPATH - WB
+* Restored DOSPATH kludge to get to root of directory - WB
+* Added a bit of missing _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef'ing - WB
+* Minor DOS dirent mod to work with Tom's rearrangements - WB
+* Changed #if XYZ to #ifdef XYZ in tcp.h for dumb (?) compilers - WB
+
+1998-03-25 (2.8.1dev.4)
+* restore original string in LYUtils.c when user enters a badly formed or
+ nonexistent URL when prompted for Goto/history list. Otherwise Lynx would
+ always attempt to load a local file if the original string omits scheme://
+ prefix but guessing fails (patch by Randall <hezekiah@may98.rahul.net>).
+* tweak formatting of .message in HTFTP.c so it has leading/trailing blank
+ lines (patch by Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@CAM.ORG>)
+* retested 'make depend' rule (for LV (Larry Virden)) - TD
+* eliminate (except for absolute pathnames, as in VMS) quoted includes - TD
+* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAlert.[ch], since they conflict with
+ src/HTAlert.[ch], and are not used - TD
+* replace the [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] comments (for images without ALT)
+ with filenames of these images. This feature can be enabled or disabled by
+ setting VERBOSE_IMAGES in lynx.cfg and/or userdefs.h (patches by
+ Helen Sommer <helen@voland.cc.huji.ac.il>,
+ Bill Schiavo <wschiavo@concentric.net>)
+* consistently use ${cf_cv_ncurses_header-curses.h} rather than
+ $cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure script, as noted by JES - TD
+* tweak include of HTML.h in HTFile.h to fix compile problem on VMS (we really
+ should not use quote-style includes) - TD
+* fixes to LYStyle.c to make color-style code work on Digital Unix 4.0 - TD
+
+1998-03-20 (2.8.1dev.3)
+* Added death for Win/DOS clients that don't have a TMP space defined - WB
+* Added _WINDOWS_NSL to provide interruptible lookups in Win32 per a
+ patch from afn06760@afn.org. (modified hopefully for borland AND Cygwin and
+ hard defined in tcp.h). I had to recompile everything in multithread
+ mode for borland, including my zlib library - WB
+* Added _WINDOWS as a target for FNAMES_8_3 in userdefs.h to allow for 16
+ bit helper apps that can't handle LFN's. (report by afn06760@afn.org) - WB
+
+1998-03-18 (2.8.1dev.1)
+* correct an ifdef that caused inconsistent pathname separators on Windows
+ (reported by afn) -DK
+* correct a missing AC_MSG_RESULT in configure.in (also MM) - TD
+* guard against illegal (e.g., zero) value for DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE, when it is
+ read from lynx.cfg (reported by Martin Mokrejs
+ <mmokrejs@prfdec.natur.cuni.cz>) - TD
+* implement simple 'include' facility for lynx.cfg - BL
+* change TagClass and TagFlags to #define's to accommodate older compilers
+ which do not accept initialization of enums from data that do not correspond
+ to the declared values, e.g., CLIX (which complains) and Apollo (which fails
+ to compile, reported by Dave Eaton). - TD
+* remove some obsolete definitions from userdefs.h, tcp.h and HTUtils.h - TD
+* remove obsolete files from WWW/Library - TD
+
+1998-03-12
+* UPPER8: a separate function HTMLSetDisplayCharsetMatchLocale() introduced
+ (LYCharSets.c). Locale mismatch assumed for DOS/WINDOWS display charsets. -LP
