(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 +
and "" to lynx. This is useful when it is not easy to + choose address without the surrounding "<>" or "" -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
+ 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 > + match "" (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: + . + 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 + ) -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 -TD +* fixes for file upload -IZ + + modify logic for headers use write them even if MultipartContentType was + not set. + + change logic for base64 to be used ONLY if \0 was found. + If a "strange" char is found, only change "text/plain" to + "application/octet-stream". +* change a couple of _user_message() calls to HTUserMsg2() calls so their + content is saved in the "Messages" buffer -IZ, TD +* undo 2002-11-11 SGMLFindTag optimization (problem with color styles, + reported by IZ). Optimize the function by storing the previously found tags. + Also use my_casecomp() to decrease AS_casecomp() calls by testing the + first character manually -LP +* optimize HTStyle comparison: just compare numbers from enum. + It was previously implemented as a strcmp comparison with a fixed string. + Used in a very inner loop, in HTML_put_character() -LP +* LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() now absorbs LYFillLocalFileURL() call -LP +* optimize LYLegitimizeHREF() -LP +* in HTML.c, revise href resolving logic. HTAnchor_findChildAndLink now + resolves href with respect to BASE internally; HTParse incorporates + LYFillLocalFileURL call (after the parsing, and only when the related string + is not empty and parse includes access, host, path and punctuation). This + removes all LYFillLocalFileURL and most HTParse calls from HTML.c and makes + code more consistent. (Previously, functions were called in a different order + for document with/without BASE, which had the side effect in some cases, + e.g., href="c:" on a DOS machine was resolved properly with _any_ base, and + badly broken without:) -LP +* add/use HTParseALL macro to simplify coding -LP +* revise "internal links" logic (read KW 1997-11-03 notes, before v2.8). + In HTML.c and HTAnchor.c, internal links code affects only parent lookup + in the adults table (more correct in case of post data), now a mainline: + we omit "#ifndef DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS" condition in the two files. + In HTML.c, avoid using internal links for unrelated `src=' attributes + (BGSOUND_SRC, FRAME_SRC, IFRAME_SRC, OVERLAY_SRC, EMBED_SRC links:) -LP +* refine HTAnchor_delete() vs deleteLinks() mutual recursion logic - LP +* change ALIGN_SIZE in GridText.c to sizeof(double), which is probably more + portable than "8" -LP +* modify a syslog() call to guard against possible '%' in its parameter -TD +* remove extra quotes from calling HTMake822Word() for form boundary names + (addresses bug report for fastmail.fm by P.J.Walsh) -TD + +2003-02-04 (2.8.5dev.14) +* correct a missing ">" at the beginning of page sent as response to mailto -TD +* simplify (clarify) anchor structure: links now moved from HTAnchor to + HTChildAnchor (the only place they were used). By this we avoid unneeded + casting in calls to HTAnchor_followMainLink, HTAnchor_followTypedLink, + deleteLinks. [GridText.c, HTML.c, LYList.c, HTAnchor.c] -LP +* as of 1998-11-21 "workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML + document with the same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW", + along with skipping HTAnchor_link() call in this case now, we realize that + HTChildAnchor may have only a single link. (Previously implemented by + mainLink and links list). This simplifies HTAnchor.c -LP +* simplify HTChunk.c -LP +* optimize LYRemoveNewlines() and LYRemoveBlanks() -LP +* check for no common name (CN) in certificate when connecting via SSL, fixes + a SIGSEGV with + https://web-shokai.tokyo-denwa.net/ + (patch by Hataguchi Takeshi) +* add uk.po (Ukrainian) from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/ +* modify HTList_linkObject to avoid an infinite loop in HTList_unlinkObject due + to relinking some node several times, corrupting the previous list chain -LP +* increase ATEXITSIZE to 50, 40 was not enough -TD +* ifdef-out call to Cygwin_Shell() in LYMainLoop.c, which does not work + properly for some environments (report by Corinna Vinschen + , forwarded by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* correct a bug in HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() introduced in dev.13 handling + USEMAP, e.g., + http://www.sendas-delivery.com.br/topo_sendas.asp + (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -LP +* minor fixes for K&R compiler on SunOS: prototype of HTDOS_slashes(), + definition of LYLeakSequence -TD + +2003-01-22 (2.8.5dev.13) +* change new memory-allocation in HTString.c and GridText.c to provide pointers + to data aligned to the host's pointer-size, to work on Tru64 where this + happens to be 8 -TD +* resync ".po" files using msgmerge -TD +* remove quadratic complexity from insert_blanks_in_line() usage with large + tables (Stbl). It occasionally cleans up split_line() a bit. CPU load + anomaly reported by BL -LP +* ALLOC_IN_POOL, POOL_NEW, POOL_FREE macros now became functions, suggested by + BL -LP +* define HAVE_ALLOCA for djgpp fixed-configuration -LP +* add command-line option (--nested-tables) to help in testing this feature -TD +* add command-line option (--find-leaks) to disable the memory leak checking + code, allowing one to build an executable which is useful for both normal + and leak-checking (request by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* improve performance of HTParse() for very long strings -LP +* fix memory leak in HTFileSaveStream() -LP +* further optimization in HTAnchor.c - save 3 mallocs per HTChildAnchor by + using new HTList_ functions: HTList_linkObject(), HTList_unlinkObject(), + HTList_unlinkLastObject() which utilize external memory, no malloc/free -LP +* modify "make install-help" rule to avoid warning message about keystrokes + subdirectory (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* optimize !HText_TrueLineSize() expressions as HText_TrueEmptyLine() -LP +* optimize is_url(), rewriting it as case-statements to avoid unnecessary + comparisons, make similar optimization in HTParse() -LP, TD +* corrected logic in is_url() where the "://" was not necessarily checked in + the proper position - TD +* for color-style configuration, add a link to lynx.lss from LYNXCFG: -TD +* simplify setup of internal pages with new function InternalPageFP() -TD +* modify parsing of refresh-URL to strip single quotes, to handle + http://tovar.yandex.ru/ + (reported by LP) -TD +* investigated conflict between NSL_FORK and _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef's for Cygwin + configuration in HTTCP.c; left them as-is since #undef'ing _WINDOWS_NSL in + that case causes problems connecting (feedback by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* corrected an off-by-one error in computing the location of the bottom line + for mouse input in PDCurses configuration which made that area ignore mouse + clicks. Merged almost-identical cases for mouse-input for NT/Windows95 -TD +* ifdef'd out (USE_CURSES_PAIR_0) the ASSUMED_COLORS logic for the PDCurses + configuration (reports by DK) -TD +* LYSetHiText(), LYAddHiText(), and LYClearHiText() use HText memory pool -TD +* add atexit-cleanup for history stack, removed incomplete code for this from + cleanup(), since that gave misleading results in leak-checking. Fix a few + small leaks as well (reported by LP) -TD +* modify cleanup() to leave the trace file open if checking for leaks -TD +* add some simple statistics to summary in Lynx.leaks report -TD +* add malloc-sequence number to Lynx.leaks report, to help with debugging -TD +* fix memory leaks in nested-tables logic, which did not free subtable data + if there was an enclosing table (reports by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* adapted change by LP to allocate HTLine's from memory pool -TD +* move fallback definition of MAXHOSTNAMELEN from HTFTP.c to www_tcp.h so it + can be used in HTTCP.c (Debian #140682) -TD +* improved configure script checks for ncurses -TD +* correct description of XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND in lynx.cfg (report by Mats + Peterson ) -TD +* fix configure script so it does not compute basename of system mailer when + none was found. Add check in LYMail.c, LYPrint.c to avoid using system + mailer when it is not configured (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* update several po files (da.po, de.po, et.po, hu.po, sv.po, tr.po) from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/ +* correct logic in recent HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() changes around internal + links and fragments; avoid unneeded reallocations by using HTParseAnchor() + instead of HTParse() -LP +* trim some fat from HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A -LP +* add optimized string functions StrAllocCopy_extra() [and paired FREE_extra()] + which store string size and never shrink; for heavily reallocated strings in + temp objects. Used in SGML.c for value[] fields currently -LP +* in HTUtils.h, FREE macro was unsafe if happen before 'else' -LP +* modify HTParse() to escape any spaces which remain from LYLegitimizeHREF() or + other sources (report by Peter Rasmussen ) -TD + +2002-12-18 (2.8.5dev.12) +* remove a check in LYMain.c for Cygwin's console, which does not work with + screen (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* undo line/pool logic, fixing a memory leak -LP +* changes proposed by Bela Lubkin, to optimize ALLOC_IN_POOL macro + substitution, pack bitfields in HTStyleChanges to make them more compact on + some systems -LP +* correct logic of do_check_recall(), broken in dev.9 cleanup of pathname + constants with LYIsDosDrive() (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* update makelynx.bat, built with slang configuration -TD +* turn on file-upload in makefile.msc -TD + +2002-12-01 (2.8.5dev.11) +* fix a typo in changelog date -TD +* add project version & date to lynx.cfg -TD +* document xxx_PATH variables in lynx.cfg -TD + +2002-11-11 (2.8.5dev.10) +* modify file-upload to provide content-type based on file-suffix. This is + needed to validate local html files with current the W3C validation service + webpage -TD +* modify file-upload to warn but permit the filename or file contents to be + missing (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD +* workaround for compiler bug in fix_httplike_urls() -BL +* change enumShowColor so SHOW_COLOR_NEVER is zero as in 2.8.3, which makes the + result from LYChoosePopup() match the enum values. This fixes a bug which + would make the slang configuration toggle back to color when accepting an + options screen (report by Sean McGuire and Carlton + Anderson) -TD +* add a null-pointer check in content_is_compressed() -TD +* in partial mode, load document with #fragment on the fly. Long awaited fix. + LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() now returns BOOL -LP +* calculate WWW_SOURCE once, it is now a constant, not a define -LP +* use malloc instead of calloc in several places, particularly in HTList + operations (each field initialized explicitly) -LP +* fix a few typos in samples/mailcap (Carlton Anderson + ). +* 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 , fast search required) + and a list (just a storage for the rest anchors, no search required). + [The same file, gprof shows HTAnchor_findChild() weight decreased + from 11% down to 0.1%] + + remove quadratic complexity when generating a 'l'ist page, + now traverse anchors list only once [LYList.c, GridText.c]. +* add a search method to HTBTree implementation - LP +* amend check for refresh-URL to avoid adding a link if the retrieved page is + compressed, since the link would be added to the compressed file, corrupting + it (reported by Michel SUCH and Karl-Heinz Weirich ) -TD +* strip parameters from refresh-URL -TD +* correct misspelled $LYNX_LOCALEDIR variable in LYMain.c (reported by Michel + Such) -TD +* change the install procedure for lynx.cfg to attempt to update the file with + the user's customizations if any, and to save the old configuration + information in a series, e.g., lynx.cfg-1, lynx.cfg-2, etc. -TD +* re-fix the problem with config.cache not being removed at the beginning of + the configure script - see 2.8.5dev.3 (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD + +2002-10-06 (2.8.5dev.9) +* improve ETA data shown in experimental read-progress (adapted from Debian + #117476) -TD +* modify -dump, -source and related options which set dump mode to also set + -nopause (report by Benjamin Pflugmann ) -TD +* correct indexing in LYStyle.c our_pairs[] array, which did not allow for use + of default colors -TD +* make ASSUMED_COLORS in lynx.cfg apply to normal curses implementations which + do not implement assume_default_colors() (prompted by discussion with + Bela Lubkin) -TD +* make permanent an ifdef from SH which provides for truncating a too-long + title with an ellipsis -HN +* gettext'ify a few overlooked strings in LYOptions.c -HN +* modify LYGetHostByName() for MSDOS/DJGPP/Watt-32 to enable terminating it by + pressing 'z' (patch by Gisle Vanem) +* update configure script macros for NLS to gettext 0.10.40 -TD +* add PRCS version/date to lynx.cfg -TD +* setup ifdef's for Unix-specific permissions checks to exclude single-user + systems such as OS/2 EMX, Cygwin and BeOS, which otherwise act like Unix + since we can run the configure script on those platforms -TD +* re-order some tests in the configure script to allow pdcurses' X11 port to + be recognized as supporting color and line-drawing characters -TD +* work around a Cygwin bug which causes subprocesses of a full-screen program + to dump core (perhaps reported by Frederic L W Meunier, but observed in + running lynx in a bash shell spawned from my directory editor) -TD +* fix an inequality in HTDirTitles() which made the "Up to" link omitted for + the first level of an ftp listing, making it awkward to visit the parent + directory if one first visited a subdirectory -TD +* change HTURLPath_toFile() to keep local URLs distinct from remote ones, so + win32 version will not display misleading drive letter on ftp listings -TD +* rewrote Home_Dir(), adding checks for "My Documents" on Windows 2000, and + ensuring that the resulting directory actually exists -TD +* change ifdef's in LYwaddnstr() to use waddstr() consistently, since + wide-character curses implementation treat the string in the given locale + anyway, just like the waddnwstr() call -TD +* reduce clutter with new macro LYIsDosDrive() -TD +* add ifdef's for OS/2 EMX to existing DOSPATH code which checks for drive + letter (Michel Such) +* modify definitions of IsOurFile() and OpenHiddenFile() to allow trace file + to be written when one already exists -TD +* use new macros LYSameFilename(), LYSameHostname(), LYIsNullDevice() to hide + platform-specific filename comparisons -TD +* change sed delimiter in configure script to use '%' consistently, to avoid + using '@', which may appear in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* narrowed accommodation for paths with embedded blanks in LYLegitimizeHREF() + to exclude those containing newlines or tabs (report by Leslie Fairall for + http://www.realtor.com) -TD +* modified VMS build scripts to allow linking with OpenSSL, tested with + OpenSSL-0.9.6g using UCX network libraries. It is reported (by + ) 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 + ) -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 ). +* 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 ). +* 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 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 , + analysis by TH) -TD +* use StrAllocCopy() rather than strdup() in parse_style() (LYStyle.c) to + avoid false report from leak-checking (from report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* share SSL handle between HTTP.c and HTAAUtil.c so that call of + HTAA_shouldRetryWithAuth() from HTLoadHTTP() updates the handle used in that + function.

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

(The unix default of CTRL-\ is not bound to the same scan code on + different international keyboards, while ALT-X is familiar to DOS users for + existing programs). Because the WATT-32 signal handler was not available + to external programs, a patch to WATT-32 is necessary for the new lynx code + to work.
