Changes since Lynx 2.8 release =============================================================================== 2000-04-23 (2.8.3rel.1) * replace LYNX_RELEASE variable in userdefs.h by functions LYVersionIsRelease() and LYVersionStatus() in LYShowInfo.c -TD * remove symbol LYNX_RELEASE_DATE, use same format for both development and release dates -LP * remove po/ChangeLog (noted by LP) 2000-04-22 (2.8.3pre.8) * update option_help.html to describe the Visited Pages settings -TD * correct order of body_attr[] and button_attr[] in HTMLDTD.c -TD * correction for IMG attributes in HTMLDTD.c -KW * tweak form-based options menu: General Preferencies now has User Mode, Editor, Searching type and Cookies (suggested by PW). Correct misspelled gettext'ed message, introduced in pre.7 -LP, DK * note in configure --help and INSTALLATION that color-style is implemented for various curses libraries but not slang -TD * add a note to INSTALLATION describing how to disable the telnet application when configuring Lynx -TD 2000-04-19 (2.8.3pre.7) * move initialization of WATT-32 "sock_init()" code in LYMain.c so it precedes Lynx's code to setup SIGINT handler, since WATT-32 installs a SIGINT handler as well. This makes Lynx's handler the default again -DK * correct handling of CHARSET attributes on LINK and A. Basically this reverts back to original 2.7.2ac logic -KW * enable handling of CHARSET attributes on LINK - it was disabled, probably accidentally -KW * prevent CHARSET attributes from modifying the charset assumption for the _current_ document -KW * correct errors in HTML.c that could result in infinite loop (iteration counter was not incremented) -KW * revert one strcpy -> StrAllocCopy change - see added comment in LYCgi.c -KW * correct limit of formatted string in status_link() -KW * change NO_FILE_REFERER default to TRUE (i.e., do not send local file name in the referer field unless explicitly specified by the user) -LP, KW * implement a workaround for gettext'd ADVANCED_COOKIE_CONFIRMATION to make it consistent with HTConfirmDefault(), fixes Debian #62105 -TD * clarify/expand notes in lynx.cfg dealing with USE_MOUSE (from comments by Morten Bo Johansen ) -TD * noted glibc 2.1.3 bug in PROBLEMS -TD * reorganize forms-based options menu: options are now grouped by sections in a more logical way (design by KW). (BTW, it is now more aligned with htmlized-cfg cattoc.html). Help files changed accordingly. A few gettext'ed messages were changed -LP * add ifdef's (USE_BLAT_MAILER and USE_ALT_BLAT_MAILER) and corresponding code for blat vs blatj mailer (request by Victor Schneider) -TD * update Lynx FAQ locations -JS 2000-04-17 (2.8.3pre.6) * change version number in remaining documentation to 2.8.3 -TD * remove redundant defines for SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT and COLOR_TABLE from DOS/Win32 makefiles -TD * small change to configure test for REAL_UNIX_SYSTEM to accommodate linkers that allow assignment from a nonexistent extern. Also, change a few UNIX symbols in LYCurses.c and LYUtils.c to REAL_UNIX_SYSTEM to build on platforms that do not define this symbol -TD * update notes in LYMain.c and LYReadCFG.c regarding the options and config variable tables, which no longer need to be sorted -TD * htmlized lynx.cfg: add .h2 RULESFILE, remove confusing .h1 header -LP * define SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT in userdefs.h -TH 2000-04-13 (2.8.3pre.5) * fix printing of Last-Modified field in downloaded/printed source -LP * update URL for RFC 1942 -LV, DK * update Subir Grewal's Lynx links URL to the newest location http://www.trill-home.com/lynx.html -LV, TD * move assignment to donelookup in LYGetHostByName() to avoid race with CreateThread() -Alexei Anatski * modify LYexecv() in LYLocal.c for MINGW32 -HS, Victor Schneider * re-correct logic for .h1 comments in cattoc.html by cfg2html.pl (reported by LP) -TD * move call to cleanup_files() into LYexit(), to fix stray temporary directory left, e.g,. when doing "lynx -version" -TD 2000-04-11 (2.8.3pre.4) * add to logic of --with-charsets configure option, checking for charset names that happen to be built-into UCdomap.c rather than defined via .tbl files in src/charsets (reported by HN) -TD * correct missing extern in CF_SLANG_UNIX compile-test -TD 2000-04-06 (2.8.3pre.3) * remove definitions for NCURSES and NCURSES_VERSION from top-level makefiles that really use PDCurses -TD * add USE_MOUSE symbol: cleanup/simplify ifdef'ing of mouse code, replace USE_SLANG_MOUSE / NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION / PDCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 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 (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 * add CF_SLANG_UNIX configure macro, to allow slang configuration to build on AIX, etc., (reported by Jens Schleusener ) -TD * update CF_CURSES_LIBS macro from CDK fixes, adds a special check for HPUX 11.x -lcur_colr library -TD 2000-04-02 (2.8.3pre.2) * fixed problem with charset handling for SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY - if the charset was specified by Content-Type http header it won't be lost (as it was) when reparsing from source cache (applies to toggling DTD, switching to srcview, and other stuff like *,' etc) -VH * add ifdef'd call for creat() for Borland C configuration in LYExecv(), as per JS report -TD * remove definition of NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION from makefile.bcb and makelynx.bat, which should fix compile problem reported by JS -TD * move a small number of gettext definitions into LYMessages_en.h to allow removing the associated files from POTFILES.in, which must not be larger than 1023 for Solaris (reported by JS) -TD * improve ifdef's for fallback definitions of getattrs(), getbegx(), getbegy() and getbkgd() in LYCurses.h since they may be functions rather than macros (reported by PG on os390) -TD * further restrict tildeExpand() so it allows embedded "~" only if it follows a slash, or is the first character -TD * add check for "~" as the path to be expanded in tildeExpand() (fixes problem reported by Frederic L W Meunier when TEMP_SPACE was defined to "~") -TD 2000-03-31 (2.8.3pre.1) * remove annoying trailing period from two statusline messages ending with host name ("Looking up host.foo:81." and "Making HTTP connection to foo.bar.") -LP * lynx.cfg: use two lines to separate options description in this configuration file (it looks more readable, for such a huge text) -LP * lynx.cfg: make a few corrections to reorganize .h1 sections to improve htmlized cattoc.html logic. More corrections welcome -LP * fix some compiler warnings for DECC dealing with time_t being unsigned in that environment (reported by Jerome Lauret) -TD * suppress Multinet prototypes in socket.h, to work around some places where Multinet declares parameters a void* while DECC uses char* (patch by Jerome Lauret ). * undo side-effect of config_enum() function in LYReadCFG.c from cleanup in dev.22 which made default_user_mode and source_cache values not set properly (reported by Alexei Anatski ) -TD * correct ifdef's in LYStrings.c for NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION versus PDCURSES adding new PDCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION to cover special case of DJGPP (reported by LP, DK) -TD * add PRETTYSRC to lynx.cfg, supplementing -prettysrc commandline option -TD * add call to LYStoreCookies() from HTFWriter.c to save cookies when -source is used (patch by KW) * remove const from LYGetHostByName() parameter -TD * modify makefile.in to ensure links within htmlized lynx.cfg are updated if gzip-help is configured (reported by Ari Moisio) -TD * remove -DEXP_CHARTRANS from makefile.msc, makefile.bcb (reported by LP) -TD * trim trailing path-separator from lynx_temp_space before removing that directory, on exit -TD * ifdef'd IsOurFile() to perform only an ownership check on single-user DOS and OS/2 systems, so user can overwrite files -TD * simplified some initialization in LYMain.c with tildeExpand() -TD * change prototypes of HTSetPresentation(), HTSetSuffix5() to use double rather than float, since this is the default promotion, working better with some compilers -TD * add comments to makefile.msc to show how to build color-style version -TD * add fallback definition for getattrs(), move fallback definitions for getbegy() and getbegx() in LYCurses.h to allow building color-style version with PDCurses -TD * correct a call on lib$find_file() in HTVMSUtils.c which broke by not supplying it with a fixed-size buffer, from dev.23 changes -TD * correct an out-of-range indexing error in LYstatusline_messages_on_exit(), and add a check in to_stack() for a similar problem -TD * add definitions and description of USE_TH_JP_AUTO_DETECT, CONV_JISX0201KANA_JISX0208KANA, and KANJI_CODE_OVERRIDE to userdefs.h, along with a new file README.jp -TH 2000-03-26 (2.8.3dev.23) * make -nounderline option apply to overloading of colors 4 & 5 with underlines, in slang configuration -TD * on initialization, check if the LYNX_TEMP_SPACE denotes a directory which we cannot easily determine if someone could alter our temp-files. If so, make a subdirectory of that, with appropriate permissions -TD * disable setuid on initialization -TD * 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 BUTTON_CLICKED, since the latter appears to not work in PDCurses 2.4 -TD * 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 insted 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 done, the specified charset is ignored when HTCJK is JAPANESE. # I think it's long way to improve this completely. It rarely # causes small problem in source view mode for Japanese document. # I think it can be ignored -TH * improve handling of Japanese titles in List Page, LYNXIMGMAP Page and ShowInfo Page -TH * remove spurious backslashes in sed script for adjusting link to htmlized lynx.cfg -Michael Warner * add -luser32 library for cygwin configuration, needed for WIN_EX ifdefs -DK * correct some screen handling problems when built with SLang -DK * updated the INSTALLATION file to reflect building under cygwin -DK * define WIN_EX and _WINDOWS_NSL for cygwin configuration -DK * use select_s() from WATT-32 for the DJGPP port, rather than select() from DJGPP (suggested by Gisle Vanem, to make it faster) -DK * add a configure check CF_SET_ERRNO to check if we really can set errno, even if it has been #define'd -TD * remove a redundant call to HTQuoteParameter() from LYExtern.c, which resulted in quoted-quotes (reported by Michael Warner) -TD * add configure check for syslog.h, in case --enable-syslog is given for a machine that doesn't support it -TD * add ASSUMED_COLOR variable to lynx.cfg, making the use of assume_default_colors() optional (addresses reports by LV, IC) -TD * 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 handling. The symbol PDCURSES should be used for PDCurses, not NCURSES* or DOSPATH -TD * remove unused getline.c, getpass.c, crypt.c and crypt_util.c -TD * change ifdef's in LYisAbsPath() and LYisRootPath to make OS/2 EMX treated the same as DOSPATH -TD * review use of strcat/strcpy, changing as needed to avoid buffer overflows -TD 2000-03-12 (2.8.3dev.22) * modify Home_Dir() so that on DOS & Windows, if the $HOMEDRIVE variable is set, it may be used to specify the drive on which $HOME is located -TD * add configure option --enable-htmlized-cfg to install the htmlized lynx.cfg in the help directory (request by LP) -TD * suppress sleep's in crawl or traversal mode (request by LV) -TD + cleanup LYReadCFG.c, LYrcFile.c a little, using new functions putBool, getBool, putEnum and getEnum -TD * change default mode for visited-links-page to match original behavior, add visited_links to .lynxrc file (requests by KD, LP) -TD * 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 ) -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, since my last change disabled this -TH * remove redundant/conflicting definitions of ON/OFF from HTVMS_WaisUI.h -TD * fixes for K&R build on SunOS -TD 2000-02-15 (2.8.3dev.20) * ifdef fixes for CYGWIN, broken in dev.19 -TD * 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 commands, protecting against badly-formatted string with more than one %s (reported by PW) -TD * update placeholder po/nl.po -JS * add configure option --enable-kanji for defining symbols related to TH's patch. * improved handling of Japanese text (patch by Hataguchi Takeshi (TH) ): + 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 charaset 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 that we can pipe to versus those that we cannot -TD * add ifdef USE_BLAT_MAILER to simplify & make consistent ifdef'ing for 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 * correct HTSetSuffix/HTSetSuffix5 for VMS build (reported by Dan W. Olds ) -TD * resync autoconf macros, from tin -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 -JS * 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 it to /dev/null, which is recognized on all systems -BJP * correct typo in declaration of LYLeakSAVsprintf() -Michael Warner * remove from_source_cache_p parameters in LYMainLoop.c (request by LP) -TD * documentation updates covering the Options Menu & other changes omitted previously -PW * small correction in TRSTable.c: One of my previous changes for TRST broke inheritance of alignment for cell contents from TR elements -KW * new functions for keeping track of temp files (and some other files) for user interface pages: LYRegisterUIPage(), LYIsUIPage(). Most checks that look at the loaded document's title have been replaced by this mechanism. This also replaces various mechanism that were implemented for some specific pages -KW * also replaced some more checks that looked at the document's title by checks of the address, for pages that are always identified by a special URL scheme (LYNXCOOKIE:, LYNXKEYMAP:, LYNXMESSAGES:) -KW * now check directly in postoptions() whether the loaded document is one from which submission of option changes can be accepted, using the new tracking mechanism. Only the form-based Options Menu and Visited Links are allowed. Relying on a good random generator to prevent spoofing is not necessary. Kept the secure_string check, but it should be only regarded as an aid to the user, it prevents changing options from an instance of the form-based Options Menu that is not the most recent one (this can happen if an Options Menu page is pushed on the history stack and later returned to) -KW * honor REUSE_TEMPFILES for some more user interface pages. * prevent an obscure LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU crash. * 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) * 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 HS, 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 ) * 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/HTSprinf) -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 ) -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 with . 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
 -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>)
* 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)
* add popup in options menu to control alternate organizations of the
  visited links page -IZ
* reformatted src/makefile.dos and src/makefile.dsl to make them simpler to
  modify -TD
* add -DOK_OVERRIDE to DIRED_DEFS for djgpp -LP
* change the samples in "URL Schemes Supported in Lynx" so they would appear
  without //user:passw@ but //user@ with the explanation of yet another
  possibility added in words...  So user will not get a wrong impression if
  reading that document not so carefully (you know, samples are so easy
  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
  the screen colors to be reset (reported by KW) -TD
* undo recent no_color_video check for A_BOLD, A_UNDERLINE since this did not
  have the intended effect (reported by KW) -TD
* add note to lynx_url_support.html about lynxcgi -PW
* add user search in partial mode (while loading of the document is in
  progress).  Scrolling to the string in question is not working properly yet
  if you repeat 'n' next time.  More work required -LP
* improved makelynx.bat ()
* fixed bug that corrupted memory (resulting in crashes) in situations when
  line ends with LY_SOFT_HYPHEN -VH
* correct comment in userdefs.h regarding renaming of
  LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED to LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED and
  change DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE to LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED -PW
* fix bug that caused lss-enabled lynx to crash on growing textarea or
  inserting file into it -VH
* 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
  from the history stack.  Lynx would send the URL of the current
  document (the one "later" in history) which could only accidentally
  be right -KW
* changed default for PERSISTENT_COOKIES from TRUE to FALSE, since
  persistent cookie support is now configured in by default -KW
* new functions (key_for_func_ext) to return a "best" key (or key pair) to
  invoke a given lynx  action, either in the Line Editor or in normal mode.
  Currently only used for a couple of statusline messages (those that had ^V
  hardcoded).  The statusline info while in a textarea now gives the right
  key(s) for invoking external editing, or omits the info if appropriate
  (no key bound, or no editor defined or allowed) -KW
* doc updates for TEXTAREA special functions -KW
* moved #defines for TEXTAREA_EXPAND_SIZE, AUTOGROW, AUTOEXTEDIT from
  LYMainLoop.h to userdefs.h, the latter two renamed to TEXTAREA_AUTOGROW
  and TEXTAREA_AUTOEXTEDIT, added description -KW
* minor tweaks: -accept_all_cookies help string, some formatting changes,
  minor text additions and corrections -KW
* set $(PROG_EXT) variable in makefiles for cygwin -TD
* define __CYGWIN__ if needed, e.g., for betas that define __CYGWIN32__ -TD
* workaround cygwin b19.1 problem generating cfg_defs.h because it did not
  properly export $PATH -TD
1999-11-03 (2.8.3dev.14)
* modify no_color_video check for A_UNDERLINE so it is active for any
  combination that uses underlining (reported by KW) -TD
* modified HTML.c so configure --enable-internal-links builds -TD
* improved 'lynx.patch' rule in makefile.in -PG
* add rough version of makelynx.bat for use with Khan's MingW32 (from Victor
  Schneider )
* update dependencies in makefile.bcb for src/TRSTable.c -HS
* fix PDCurses ifdef's in LYCurses.c to work with WATT-32 -DK
* correct ifdef's in LYPrint.c so that send_file_to_mail() works with DJGPP -DK
* modify DOS makefiles for PDCURSES for watt-32 and some of the other recent
  changes to lynx.  Included some of the EXP_ defines that DOS users may want.
  Changed the -O3 back to -O2, since -O3 has no advantage under djgpp -DK
* remove a useless ';', use FREE() instead of free() - JB
* correct spelling lexem/lexeme (reported by KW) -TD
* split-out function check_history() in LYMainLoop.c -TD
* add configure check for vasprintf -TD
* add configure check for _GNU_SOURCE -TD
* minor fixes for configure script macros CF_TERMCAP_LIBS, CF_DISABLE_ECHO,
  CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_GCC_WARNINGS -TD
* fixed bug in psrcmode code.  Now htmlsrc_tag encloses only tagname, not
  everything in generalized brackets <,>, (reported by KW) -VH
* fixed a bug with 'g' command (reported by KW) -VH
* default value for 'OPT' in SGML.c made '1', removed alternatives to code
  surrounded by #if OPT1
* 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 begining 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, HS) -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:
    
    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 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  and  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 -HS
* 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:  "" 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
  "".  "bar" (for non-empty and recognized "foo").  This is not
  general as it would have to be for or real SGML parser, in particular '/' is
  only treated this way if it directly follows the element name, and it may not
  even be quite right.  It is better than the recovery lynx previously did in
  these cases though.
* changed handling of include buffer which is used to pass back data
  from HTML.c to SGML.c.  Passing data upstream now works without strange
  reordering effects even when SGML_character was already parsing data from
  a previous include buffer.
  Character set translation would happen several times on data passed back
  to SGML_character in the include buffer for re-parsing.  This is now
  avoided.  Well at least in most cases, and for characters that *can* be
  translated, there are likely combinations of input and output character
  sets where the assumptions made are still wrong.
* the start_element and end_element methods of structured stream class now
  return a status code.  Currently only used for the OBJECT stuff below.
* mostly HTML.c, SGML.c: Changed handling of OBJECT and MAP.
  - avoid using the include buffer mechanism as much as possible.  This
    involves introducing some new special handling in SGML.c to change parsing
    mode for element contents, and a way for HTML_{start,end}_element to signal
    to SGML_character what it should do.  In most cases when the OBJECT element
    content should be parsed and displayed, SGML_character now only needs one
    pass through the data.
  - don't lose content when several OBJECTs are nested.
  - in HTML 4, an OBJECT with USEMAP attribute can refer to a MAP within the
    OBJECT's content, possibly within nested inner OBJECTs.  Lynx would fail to
    find the MAP in that case, now it doesn't.
  - in HTML 4, MAP can contain arbitrary block elements in addition to AREA.
    Lynx now shows such block content, even if it occurs within (possibly
    nested) OBJECTs with USEMAP whose contents we would otherwise skip.
    Sometimes we may show too much now, by generating a LYNXIMGMAP link as well
    as showing block content or by showing more of the OBJECT content than what
    is within a MAP, but that is preferable to losing data.
  - treat an A tag with COORDS attribute as equivalent to an AREA when it is
    within MAP, for the purpose of collecting links for LYNXIMGMAP.
  - as a fallback, internally redirect a LYNXIMGMAP request to the position of
    the MAP element in the normally rendered text of the document containing
    the MAP, if it is known that the MAP element exists and just doesn't
    contain any AREA (or equivalent A-with-COORDS) links.  It is assumed that
    in such a case there is some block content within the MAP that is rendered
    normally.
* HTFile.c: new function LYGetFileInfo.
* HTAnchor.c: new function HTAnchor_findSimpleAddress.
* new function HTStartAnchor5.
* modified the way link text is (re-)drawn by function highlight.  The bulk of
  processing now happens in new function LYMoveToLink.  The data of the
  containing line is now scanned from the beginning, using the same logic as in
  display_line to make sure that lynx and the display library have the same
  idea of where in the line the link starts.  In UTF-8 output mode, parts of
  the line preceding the link are also repainted if this is necessary.
  Refreshing of the physical line is forced if necessary in UTF-8 mode.  For
  anchors split across lines, the new approach is currently only used for the
  first line.
  This change is not in effect for lynx with color style.  In that case
  highlighting already is sometimes done in a similar similar, but not quite
  the same, separate function.
* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for hypertext links.  Now this is done
  in the same pass as drawing the normal link text, in LYMoveToLink.  This
  avoids problems in UTF-8 display mode.  It also avoids a lot of complicated
  and extremely hard to understand older code in highlight(), but that code is
  still there for use by lynx with color style and for other remaining cases
  (non-hypertext anchors, second line highlighting).
* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for general text.  Instead of first
  writing each line's characters in display_line, then scanning again through
  the line's data for portions to highlight and repainting those parts after in
  display_page, this is now done in one pass within display_line.  However,
  this isn't (yet?) done for lynx with color style which still uses the old
  code.
* these last three changes reduce problems that occur when using UTF-8 display
  character set (in an appropriate terminal environment that understands it, of
  course).  Most of them don't apply with color style lynx, so it continues to
  have more UTF-8 problems.  Pages with mostly ASCII characters should be more
  or less ok.  Problems that otherwise are not visible become apparent in
  search highlighting, and after ^Z / fg.
* GridText.c:  More changes to deal with problems caused by using UTF-8 output
  with a display library that isn't aware of it.  Break line with UTF-8 before
  curses does it.  This causes lines that are too short, effectively the
  rightmost part of a line cannot be used if there are UTF-8 encoded
  characters.  The alternative, letting curses wrap the line when it thinks it
  got too long, is worse, so do it in lynx code instead.
* avoid memory overrun for very long lines in UTF-8 mode.  Avoid splitting line
  in the middle of a multibyte UTF-8 character.
* test for SHOW_WHEREIS_TARGETS instead of 'defined(FANCY_CURSES) ||
  defined(USE_SLANG)'.
* initialize new textarea lines created by insert_new_textarea_anchor with
  current display character set for value_cs.  (The "cloned" value can be stale
  in some cases if the user changed the display character set after the
  document was last loaded - normally that should not happen).  For a file
  inserted into a textarea with INSERTFILE use new function LYGetFileInfo
  instead to determine the file content's charset.  Thus -assume_local_charset
  and conventions based on file suffix should be honored.
* for Unix, added more specific error message if calling external editor for
  textarea failed, based on the status returned by system().
* it is possible to require an additional prompt before Enter in
  an input field causes form submission: define TEXT_SUBMIT_CONFIRM_WANTED,
  explained in userdefs.h.
* some small changes to prevent overstepping string boundary (HTParse.c)
* extended SUFFIX option, added SUFFIX_ORDER option, see documentation in
  lynx.cfg.  The long list of built-in file suffix rules in HTInit.c can now be
  disabled, either at compile time - see userdefs.h - or at run time.  The
  equivalent functionality is now available in lynx.cfg for those who want it.
  Added comments, see HTFileInit in HTInit.c.
* various tweaks of built-in file suffix rules.
* allow XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND to be empty (in lynx.cfg) or NULL (in userdefs.h),
  just don't use a default X viewer for image types in that case.
* moved UCGetUniFromUtf8String from LYCharUtils.c to UCAux.c.
* renamed LYUCFullyTranslateString -> LYUCTranslateHTMLString, and
  LYUCFullyTranslateString_1 -> LYUCFullyTranslateString.
* tweaks for special chars in (what is now) LYUCFullyTranslateString, in
  obscure cases (input fields of type password prefilled with unusual content)
  lynx would pass text back to the server with special characters (soft hyphen
  or non-break space) expressed as lynx-internal code values.
* added some replacement characters or strings to various chartrans tables.
* experimental command line option -convert_to, only compiled in if new
  MISC_EXP symbol is defined.  This takes a string in the form of a MIME type,
  which can also be combined with an appended ";charset=" parameter.  (This
  needs shell quoting of course).  The charset value can be used to set the
  display character set from the command line.  The MIME type can be one of the
  non-official types used internally, for some interesting effects (crashing
  lynx not excluded).  Try www/download, www/source, www/dump, or some
  unrecognized string.
* fixed HTMainText_Get_UCLYhndl, it was returning the wrong kind of charset
  handle (a "UChndl", which is different from a "LYhndl" or "UCLYhndl" etc.,
  and shouldn't be directly accessed by arbitrary bits of lynx code - it should
  be regarded as private to the chartrans mechanism).
* protect various printf-like calls against crashes from strings with '%':
  LYSyslog.
* LYDownload.c: made parsing of LYNXDOWNLOAD: URL slightly more robust.
* disabled some broken pieces.
1999-10-14 (2.8.3dev.12)
* fixes for restructured LYMainLoop.c (reported by PG, LP) -TD
* minor fix for makeutcb, to compile with K&R C -TD
1999-10-13 (2.8.3dev.11)
* restructured LYMainLoop.c, so the main switch statement calls functions
  rather than doing everything inline.  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
  by JS) -TD
* add definition for DJGPP so truncate() function is used there, needed for
  LYOpenTempRewrite() function -LP
* correct character set for lines added in an external editor (Marek Kubita
  , KW, KED)
* remove a couple more duplicate includes -LP
* remove a couple of duplicate includes (JB - John Bley )
* fix some missing ifdef's for win32 versus DOS, as well as change calls to
  strcasecomp() to strncasecmp() -Hiroyuki
* undo spurious change from win32 integration in dev.5 to HTSprint0() 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 
    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 L) * change a trace/error message in HTInit.c to say "Lynx" rather than "metamail", to avoid confusion -HN * change formatting in user's guide, etc., to
     sections, thereby
      appeasing Dave Raggett's "tidy" program -TD
    1999-09-13 (2.8.3dev.9)
    * add -nobold, -noreverse, -nounderline options to disable corresponding
      video attributes (based on a patch by John Hawkinson ) -TD
    * add STICKEY_FIELDS to lynx.cfg, which tells lynx whether to activate the
      previous document when an extra key-left is given -VH,TD
    * minor cleanup of run_external(), use single return, HTSprintf0 -TD
    * for WATT32 configuration, call _eth_release() and _eth_init() in HTTelnet.c
      to make telnet work properly -DK
    * 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 ).
    * 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
      variables or lynx.cfg) in HTAccess.c if the slash was omitted and if the
      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 -JS
    * 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
      Meunier, analysis by KW) -TD
    * replace fr.po with a placeholder.  Add placeholders for ru.po, pt_BR.po -JS
    * review/modify HTNews.c to avoid potential buffer overflows, as well as reduce
      the number of embedded constants that make it difficult to adjust fixed
      buffer sizes -TD
    1999-08-28 (2.8.3dev.8)
    * correct ifdef's combining HAVE_POPEN and __CYGWIN__ in LYPrint.c, which would
      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  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
      cast on the parameter as an lvalue (reported by LV) -PG
    * 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
    * let CJK charsets default to 7 Bit Approximations.  Needed to display entities
      in the decimal 160-255 range.  (Restore behavior before the changes made to
      declarations of charsets on 1999-03-04) -HN
    * 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
      and EXEC_SCRIPTS must also be defined to make this effective (reported by
      KED).
    * add explanations of the various choices for revealing/not images, to Users
      Guide, Options Help & lynx.cfg -PW
    * fix LYgetstr() to disable saving of input text on LYE_ENTER state when the
      input is supposed to be hidden -KW
    * add/use LYaddstr() to fix some const-casts -TD
    * move dependency of "lynx$x" from "install" to
      "install-bin:" in top-level makefile.in -PG
    * corrected display of SGML_LITTERAL content -VH
    * now LY_SOFT_NEWLINE is used in psrc mode to denote wrapped lines (as in plain
      source mode) -VH
    * add configure option --enable-scrollbar -TD
    * make the charset-choice code lynx.cfg-reloading-safe -VH
    * add experimental code to allow users to specify that a subset of the
      compiled-in charset definitions are available for selection for display
      (ifdef'd with EXP_CHARSET_CHOICE, added configure option
      --enable-charset-choice -TD) -VH
    * add/use ANSI_PREPRO symbol to simplify ifdef's concerning preprocessor token
      substitution/concatenation -TD
    * modify ifdef of code that shows current CJK code in the title area under
      SH_EX as well as CJK_EX -TD
    * modify HTMLDTD.c to set canclose for  inside 
     -VH
    * correct ifdef'ing of set_ws_title(), which should be applied only on win32
      (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -LP, TD
    * reduce compiler warnings from Borland C++Builder.  Most of these are casts,
      with boolean constructs dominating -JS
    1999-08-13 (2.8.3dev.6)
    * workarounds in LYMain.c and LYMainLoop.c for excessive compiler warnings due
      to defective design of glibc2 -TD
    * modify logic for EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS in GridText.c to change a raw
      LY_NONBREAK_SPACE to ' ', to work better for tables -VH
    * 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,
      Gisle Vanem
    * allow ':' as a separator between the option and its value -DK
    * corrected install rule using symbolic link for copyright files (reported by
      HN, KED) -TD
    * reset "stalled for xxx" counter from IZ's ETA change in dev.5 between ftp
      requests -VH
    * 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
    * a few includes labeled with _WIN_CC now tweaked with WIN_EX as should be -LP
    * adjustments to SH_EX, CJK_EX ifdef's in LYMainLoop.c and LYUtils.c to aid in
      porting -LP
    * improved logic in status_link() for -short_url option (patches from
       and Eduardo Chappa L)
    * modify display_page() to not necessarily call lynx_force_repaint() to make
      highlighting work when displaying UTF-8 -Christian Weisgerber, KW
    * add check in read_directory() if transfer was interrupted -KED
    1999-07-30 (2.8.3dev.5)
    * add/use LYHideCursor() macro to accommodate position in older curses -TD
    * 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 L ) -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.

      h) Improve algorithm for allocation of color-pairs;
      i) Lynx was not recognizing HOME directory on EMX;
      j) UP_LINK and DOWN_LINK now actually move along a vertical line (as far as
         it is possible), including an arbitrary sequence of such keypresses.
    * modify LYIsPathSep() macro to include '\' for OS/2 EMX -TD
    * correct a problem with spurious cookie names when reloading lynx.cfg (Michael
      Warner & KW)
    * add check for too-long line in HText_ExtEditForm(), splitting it if needed
      (reported by ) -TD
    * move NO_GROUPS definitions from HTFile.c to HTFile.h to make them available
      for use in LYUtils.c on DOS -LP
    * correct several minor problems with integration of HS's changes in
      GridText.h, HTAlert.c and LYPrint.c (reported by LP) -TD
    * restore dev.3 interface to LYLowerCase and LYUpperCase and do casts
      internally to work on unsigned chars -PG
    * corrected typos in some messages (reported by Dmitry Sivachenko
      ).
    * changes for win32 -SH
      + added ifdef's using _WIN_CC (for Borland C) to some places in prettysrc
        definitions which use the __STDC__ symbol.
      + 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
      DT's content -VH
    * other modifications to EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS logic, to use information associated
      with each element that indicates whether it can be justified -VH
    * 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
    * restore hardcoded escape sequences on Unix in setup_vtXXX_keymap()
      inadvertently dropped in dev.4, to accommodate users of slang library who
      have their $TERM set incorrectly -TD
    * correct ifdef's for resizeterm() call to allow Lynx to build with old
      versions of ncurses -TD
    1999-07-14 (2.8.3dev.4)
    * minor fixes to build with SunOS K&R compiler -TD
    * cleanup unbalanced curly braces from other recent experimental options -TD
    * rename internal definition for LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED to
      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 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
      ).
    * add $(LDFLAGS) to chrtrans/makefile.in, for NetBSD -JS
    * 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
      
     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 ) -
      this fixes rendering of documentation, produced by broken translators that
      don't emit balanced 'A's (eg RedHat docs produced by 'dlh', Sybase docs) -
      commandline option is --force-empty-hrefless-a, and force_empty_hrefless_a in
      lynx.cfg, ifdef'd with NO_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A -VH
    * incorporate changes for win32 by Hiroyuki Senshu 
      (SH) from
        ftp://crab.it.osha.sut.ac.jp/pub/Win32/develope/senshu/Lynx/
      based on his patch against 2.8.2pre.6
      Most changes are ifdef'd
        #define _WIN_CC=    .... for Windows C Compiler
        #define CJK_EX      .... CJK EXtension
        #define SH_EX       .... Senshu Hiroyuki EXtension
        #define WIN_EX      .... Windows EXtension
    * add missing null-pointer check in MakeNewMapValue(), for verbose-images
      (from Debian bug report #39596) -TD
    * test/build with gettext-0.10.35 -TD
    * renamed uppercase makefiles and .bat files to lowercase, change the makefiles
      consistently to Unix-style format -TD
    1999-06-29 (2.8.3dev.3)
    * move HTAlert call so we don't get it each time we run the options menu -TD
    * 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 
    that doesn't have an ALIGN="center" or ALIGN="right" attribute like a

    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

    or

    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 ) * 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 * integrated patch adapted by DK from Igor B Poretsky for dired support with DJGPP. (Some corrections/rework by TD also - must retest). Some notes from DK: + since this is DJGPP based, it may be incompatible with a called program that uses a WATCOM DOS extender. I think I had this problem with a precompiled binary for zip. The current zip binary doesn't have this problem. + The key to making this work with DJGPP is the __sysflags = 0x501d in LYMain.c, since this lets the system() call handle multiple commands on one line and allows the cd command to work across disks. + I didn't look at Igor's changes to LYMainLoop.c as regards to the HTUncache calls. He said he wasn't sure about this. + This was tested with Info-Zip's zip and unzip, GNU tar, gzip, comp430d, PKZIP, and PKUNZIP. This was only tested when built with slang. I don't see where PDCurses is likely to cause a problem, however. Problems: + To make this work, I made lynx_edit_mode = TRUE in LYMainLoop.c. This does not seem to be the correct solution. It seems that this should be handled by the code in HTAccess.c, but I don't understand how this works. If lynx_edit_mode isn't true, the dired menu doesn't appear with the "f" invocation of LYK_DIRED_MENU. + I'll try to explain this briefly, but this bug is very reproducible. If a program is invoked from the dired menu which needs to interact with the user, the system sometimes freezes and has to be rebooted. For example, a call to unzip a zip archive where the files already exist has zip ask if the file should be overwritten. If done initially after lynx is started, no keystrokes are accepted and the system always hangs. If, however, any file has been moved or had its name changed via the dired menu, then the above problem doesn't occur. I have tried to see what changes after the name change that fixes this problem, but I am stumped. Gzip and unzip seem to have this problem, but PKUNZIP doesn't. * correct most-recent LYNX_RELEASE_DATE (reported by KW) -TD * change touchline() call in LYOptions.c to touchwin() in case anyone wants to compile with BSD 4.4 curses (reported by IC) -TD * modified ifdef for DECL_ERRNO to allow for errno to be a macro -TD * ifdef'd the extern declaration of h_errno in HTTCP.c in case that name is also a macro, e.g., for threaded code (reported by Mike Gravitz on AIX 4.3.1.0) -TD * rename ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS to keep the names less than 31 characters, and add configure option --enable-change-exec to set the ENABLE_OPTS_CHANGE_EXEC ifdef -TD * correct syntax of popup_choices() within ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS ifdef (reported by IC) -KW * modified some message texts, mostly for consistency -KW * correct display of local file times in INFO screen -KW * add null-pointer checks for buf2 variable in exit_immediately_with_error_message(). Invalid memory access happens if access to startfile fails but first_file is not true -KW * change all ifdef's except on for VAX Ultrix that use the presumed predefined symbol 'unix' to 'UNIX', which the configure script sets. Not all Unix systems define this in their compiler -TD From compiler warning on NetBSD 1.4 (report by JS): deprecated symbol "unix" is no longer predefined * add experimental file-upload, ifdef'd with EXP_FILE_UPLOAD and configured with --with-file-upload (adapted from patch by RP) -TD * document use of '|' pipes in PRINTER commands in lynx.cfg -TD * add shell script man2hlp.sh, used that to generate lynx.hlp from lynx.man -TD * SOURCE_CACHE: source_cache_file and source_cache_chunk are now members of HTParentAnchor (where they should belong, not HText nor mutable globals). Add one more parse setting member (verbose_img) to HText structure -LP * correct spelling of ifdef for reload_read_cfg() (reported by KW) -LP * minor docs tweaks -LP * test/{sgml.html, unicode.html} files were badly broken for tagsoup mode (incorrect html: extra
    ..
    were added inside PRE mode in dev26) -LP * fix back-slashes conversion for DOSPATH systems when expanding ~ to local path (mostly affects information screen) -LP * correct default value for --disable-persistent-cookies configure option (reported by HenSiong Tan ) -TD * uncomment --with-libjs configure option -TD 1999-06-11 (2.8.3dev.1) (This is KW's patch, with minor corrections) * 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 to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^V. 1b) KEYMAP to EDITTEXTAREA, invoke ^V. 2) KEYMAP a key (function or control, not printable!) to EDITTEXTAREA or DWIMEDIT, using PASS in the KEYMAP line. 2a) Find some key whose LineEdit binding is already LYE_FORM_PASS, and KEYMAP it to EDITTEXTAREA or DWIMEDIT. 3) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings), select Bash-like Bindings, invoke ^E^E or ^X^E (or ESC ^E aka M-C-e), or invoke ^Xe (or ESC e aka M-e), or 3a) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings), and without selecting Bash-like Bindings (invoke ESC ^E aka M-C-e or ESC e aka M-e). Bindings in parentheses under 3/3a may not work with slang unless a tweaked .lynx-keymaps file is used. * Other changes related to textarea handling: - More appropriate message statusline message if GROWTEXTAREA or INSERTFILE cannot be done because a textarea is not selected: it shouldn't refer to "external editor". - Check whether an editor is defined before trying to use it for textarea editing. Generate message if spawning of external textarea editor failed. - Allow INSERTFILE only if file access is not restricted. - Enforce dotfiles restriction and "show dot files" setting for INSERTFILE. * Mouse handling changes, mostly only if mouse support comes via ncurses: - Re-enabled changing link by clicking in area *near* a link (but not on the link text), but limit max. distance to 2 character positions. - Make mouse popup menu disappear when it should, by applying the right magic touchline() in popup_choice(). - Lots of small tweaks to remove glitches in mouse handling, among them: No left scrolling of long input fields on entering with mouse. Try to ensure statusline is updated after mouse menu. Make menu actions work as expected. Avoid acting on mouse events, especially invoking mouse menu, in wrong context (e.g. while at a prompt), at least in many places. - Clicking on left or right border of mouse menu now only moves selection. - At right end of top/bottom line, where single click causes HISTORY action, double click now causes VLINKS action. - Allow to distinguish between submitting and just positioning into a TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE input field. Single click positions, double click submits, 'activate' from menu also submits. - When initializing ncurses mouse, call mousemask() with only those bits set that we may actually be interested in. * Changes relevant for handling window size changes: - For ncurses, changed the way how mainloop() notifies the curses library about a window size change. The approach taken previously, and still used if we are not using ncurses, has more overhead, can unnecessarily switch out of the alternative screen buffer (and back) under xterm, and didn't really make ncurses update the WINDOW structures for the new size in time. - Other tweaks for size change: make sure curdoc.link is valid after refresh. - Detection of size changes in more situations: tolerate EOF from GetChar in the (non-SLANG) LYgetch_for() in more cases if errno is EINTR, if this happens check for a size change and generate trace output. Recognize KEY_RESIZE from ncurses, check for a size change and generate trace output when it occurs. - Added NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH lynx.cfg option and -nonrestarting_sigwinch flag. If set, lynx *may* react more immediately to window size changes when running under xterm or similar. Whether this actually has an effect depends on the implementation of sigaction() and on the behavior of the curses (or similar) library when a read() (or other system call) is interrupted by signals. Depends on '#if HAVE_SIGACTION', which currently has to be defined by hand, for example by 'make SITE_DEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. The command line flag is only available on systems with HAVE_SIGACTION and SIGWINCH. - Tweaks so that lynx in an xterm can survive when the window size is made (probably temporarily) very small, for example 1x1. Avoid display_page's work if it wouldn't be displayable anyway. Make display_title handle very small screen widths, at least to the degree that it doesn't crash. * Except for VMS or when DOSPATH is defined, set restore_sigpipe_for_children. Fixes Debian bug #33853, maybe not really a bug but let's be nice. * Changes in HTTCP.c: - Added a CTRACE_FLUSH before creation of NSL_FORK child process. - Block certain signals during creation of NSL_FORK child process, if sigprocmask() and friends are available. This should prevent a rare problem where sometimes the child process could be killed before it has a chance to modify its signal handlers, resulting in screen corruption, a seemingly hanging lynx, and/or other problems. It is assumed that sigprocmask() etc. are available if HAVE_SIGACTION is true. It currently has to be defined by hand, for example by 'make SITE_LYDEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. - Generate diagnostic messages for some failures of forked lookup. Depends on HAVE_H_ERRNO. In particular, try to detect whether the child process failed because of memory problems, and also fake a 'z' in that case to short-circuit a URL guessing cycle. - For most systems, generate more trace output for connection attempts, close to the actual connect() and select() calls to prevent clobbering errno. See SOCKET_DEBUG_TRACE. This should help diagnose some obscure system-dependent problems that have occasionally been reported. * Added some missing stuff for color handling to forms Option Menu code. * Printing to screen sometimes didn't show anything for short texts, if screen output was buffered (and ncurses makes stdout buffered). Added another fflush(stdout) in send_file_to_screen(). * Some checks for specific URLs (helpfilepath, lynxlistfile, and lynxjumpfile) in LYGetFile.c were inappropriately case-insensitive for Unix. The comparison is now case-sensitive except for VMS. This may need tweaking for DOS and similar systems. * Added additional LYNoRefererForThis check in getfile(), the one in mainloop() could be missed for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields. Also moved other check for whether to send Referer header earlier, and made it apply for URL types that might be proxied. * LYAddVisitedLink tried to regard documents with the same address but a different title string as different documents, but this was coded wrong. Removed ineffective comparison, but keep old title string if new title string is empty. * Correct long-standing logic error in MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING handling. Apparently not many people are using it... * Fix for traversal code to put the right address into the TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE if a request fails after popping a document from the history stack (this can only occur if a previous request for the same document had succeeded). Also don't try to send mail in such a case if MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING is on. Also prevent possible history stack underflow if this occurs on return to the first document. * According to lynx.cfg, error logging mail may be sent to ALERTMAIL if no document owner is known, but this was not implemented; now it is. ALERTMAIL is used if it is defined non-empty in userdefs.h. Of course normally it should be left undefined. * Fix for traversal code to reject form fields a bit earlier. This prevents unnecessary lookups as well as adding of an empty line to the TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE for each form field encountered. * Format -crawl output as was documented in CRAWL.announce: with this switch, link numbering is always off by default (userdefs.h and lynx.cfg defaults und saved user preference are ignored) unless -number_links is given, and -crawl -traversal format is now consistent with -crawl -dump with respect to link numbering. As a side effect, -crawl without either -traversal or -dump now also turns link numbering off unless -number_links is used (the meaning of -crawl without either of these was undocumented), so it then acts effectively as a (less powerful) negation of the -number_links switch. * For -crawl -dump, the list of links was appended twice. Fixed. * Check URL as well as title before deciding that a document should not be pushed on the history stack because it looks like a generated special page. * Made "Don't waste the cache" optimization in historytarget() subject to additional checks, to avoid uncaching of the wrong document in some cases. * LYSafeGets() would drop the last line from a file if it was not terminated. Changed to return the unterminated line like fgets(). * Clarifications on restrictions. "download" does not imply "disk_save" while "print" does, this doesn't seem to make much sense but has been the behavior for a long time. * Restrictions inside_news, outside_news now apply to reading as well as posting. The documentation (except for the corresponding comments in userdefs.h) said that they apply to posting, while in fact they were implemented for reading only. [Does nobody read this stuff???] Also, the implementation only checked the flag for news: URLs, but not for nntp: URLs, which doesn't make much sense given that the latter provide an alternative way for most (if not all) purposes of the first. So now these restrictions apply to news:, nntp:, newspost:, and newsreply: (but not to snews:, snewspost:, or snewsreply:). * Document -restrictions=externals. * Some of the restriction stuff not added to VMS lynx.hlp file, since I'm not quite sure whether the corresponding features work there at all. * Changed restriction parsing so that "all" and "default" don't get ignored if they appear as one of several items in the same list. * Implement listing of current restrictions to stdout with new -restrictions=? option. This should appear as the last command line option, otherwise the effect of options appearing later may not be shown. The '?' may require quoting. * Made -restrictions= (without any option flags) act like -restrictions (without equal sign either) as implied by documentation, i.e. list recognized restriction options. * LYRestricted has been greatly abused. Once upon a time it was a PRIVATE flag in LYMain.c (then called anon_restrictions_set), used only to get the precedence of various command line options right. Recently it has been misused as a check (and as the only one) whether "anonymous restrictions" are in effect. This undermines various assumptions: - that -anonymous is basically an aggregate set of restrictions which could be specified individually with -restrictions=. - that individually listed restrictions (-restrictions=...) act as expected, and can be used to restrict various aspects in a useful manner. - that -validate implies the strongest restrictions, except for what is explicitly exempted (i.e. 'g'oto for http/https URLs). Use specific restrictions instead: - new "compileopts_info" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h - new "lynxcfg_info" for LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h - new "lynxcfg_xinfo" for extended LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h - new invisible "goto_configinfo" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: & LYNXCFG: for anonymous default, see userdefs.h - additionally check existing "option_save" for LYNXCFG://reload/ - always restricted by anonymous default ("invisible" means that this restriction cannot be explicitly listed in a -restrictions=... list, but has a value derived from userdefs.h that is used with -anonymous and -restrictions=default.) * Forms options menu can now be used with -validate. * Allow following local help file links, even if "file_url" restriction is set, from LYNXKEYMAP, LYNXCOOKIES. (Possibly more need to be added.) * Apparently realm checking (with -realm option) is bypassed for URLs from (some) form submissions (it seems to be intentional, but why?). Made sure this at least doesn't weaken -validate restrictions. * Apply -localhost check in getfile for news URLs that include a hostname, i.e., that begin with with "news://". * Add '&' to nonalphanumeric characters forbidden by exec_ok() for lynxexec and lynxprog URLs, but keep allowing it for lynxcgi. There's not much point in excluding ';' and so on if '&' is acceptable! * Tweaked LYNXMESSAGES: handling slightly: don't bypass normal getfile handling. * Reset LYforce_no_cache flag in mainloop() after failed access, before popping the previous (or, actually, probably currently still displayed) document. * Tweak for 'no data' handling: it isn't always an error, but was sometimes treated as such. It mostly doesn't make a difference, except for the message printed when the startfile cannot be accessed and for traversal and mail error logging. This needs to be revised to apply for all protocols. * Added new functionality for rules: Redirect, UseProxy, various others. See cernrules.txt in samples directory for details. * Prevent crashes in HTNews.c with HEAD. * Allow HEAD requests for proxied URLs (checking whether any applicable proxy begins with http: or lynxcgi:), as far as this can be determined based on regular environment settings (i.e. unaware of proxying by rules). * Modified add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from a DOWNLOADER/UPLOADER/EXTERNAL line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed FALSE. This modifies the change of 1998-10-17 to be on the safer side, it is more consistent with how PRINTER lines or lines with the colon separator present but the flag value absent are handled, and it only makes a difference when a -restriction command line option or its equivalent is in effect anyway. * Deal with unusual cases where telnet and similar protocols are proxied, or possibly changed to a different type of protocol by rules. Normally such protocols should never be proxied, but there was no protection against it, and lynx could crash. The approach now taken does not disallow it, but just tries to deal with the situation in a way that avoids crashing; it is conceivable that one may want to direct e.g. telnet or rlogin URLs to a HTTP page that explains why theses types are not supported. A similar problem that occurred when e.g. telnet was forbidden by a rule is also dealt with. * Protect start_curses calls in getfile against being executed if dump_output_immediately is in effect. Maybe access to telnet, rlogin, lynxexec URLs should be completely disabled for this case; skipping the start_curses at least avoids being left with non-restored tty settings after the program exits, is someone attempts to use -dump or -source with such a URL (the -dump or -source flags is then effectively more or less ignored). * Tweaks in fix_http_urls, renamed fix_httplike_urls. * Moved LYStrerror from LYStrings.{h,c} to HTAlert.{h,c}, so that it can be used in HT*.c files without pulling in yet more LY*.h headers. * Reset 'safe' flag in anchor on parsing "Safe: no" and "Safe: false" headers. * The top makefile.in had some 'rm -rf' for whole directories $(helpdir) and $(docdir) in install targets that could potentially wipe out unrelated files; added checks to make sure the directories haven't been changed to something not lynx-specific (they are regarded as lynx-specific if the last component is lynx_help and lynx_doc, respectively). * Various doc tweaks. * Updated README.defines. 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 1999-06-01 (2.8.2rel.1) ----------------------- 1999-06-01 (2.8.2pre.11) * minor fixes from W3C HTML validation -TD * update links to HTML'ized lynxcfg in users' guide -VH 1999-05-31 (2.8.2pre.10) * add links to HTML'ized lynxcfg to users' guide -LP * cleanup temporary files left by lynx -dump LYNXCFG:// > /dev/null (analysis by LP) -VH * add comments to lynx.cfg describing effect of restricting configuration settings in nested includes -VH * delineate URL's in README with "", with space in lynx.man -LV * add some comments to lynx.lss -TD * minor improvements to configure script: use newer config.guess and config.sub from xterm, which adds case for HP 9000/800 (fix problem reported by Peter Jones ) -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 ) -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 contigent 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 information will be lost). New function HText_HaveUserChangedForms() is called from HTReparse_document() and HTuncache_current_document() -LP * fix exit from postoptions() when need_reload is set but no source_cache, was broken in dev23 -LP * 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 evaluated as a function, i.e., return a value (from bug report by David Eaton) -TD * 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 "", 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 -Hiroyuki * correct a few mismatches between variable declarations (char vs BOOLEAN) (from win32 version by Hiroyuki Senshu ). 1999-05-20 (2.8.2pre.5) * correct links to COPYHEADER and COPYING in about_lynx.html, by pointing to author's URLs, rather than to files which are not installed anyway -PG * shorten a couple of identifiers to keep with 31-character limit: hash_code_aggregate_lower_on_fly -> hash_code_aggregate_lower_str LYprint_statusline_messages_on_exit -> LYstatusline_messages_on_exit (reported by Andy Harper) -TD * correct VMS pathname in HTFTPLoad(), allowing connect to ftp://ftp.wku.edu/vms/fileserv (reported by Andy Harper) -TD * 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 proccess 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 so checks for line number begin at the very top of the screen, fixing a problem reported when processing the 123[g][+-] command -LE * minor change to LYReadCFG.c to combine similar gettext'd strings -HN 1999-05-16 (2.8.2pre.4) * add 'fixit' parameter to LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() to suppress logic in LYConvertToURL() that was changed in 2.8.1dev.4, to re-offer the original string after an invalid URL is entered at a 'g' prompt. The calls to support '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 collating sequence, eliminating some special ifdef's in HTMLDTD.c -PG * 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 Svishchev) * define _DECC_V4_SOURCE for VMS SOCKETSHR_TCP configuration, to fix conflict with unistd.h versus non-POSIX prototypes in the other headers (report by Andy Harper) -TD * 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 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 + a few leaks and a minor cleanup in local_dired 1999-05-08 (2.8.2pre.2) * substitute a few more free()s with FREE()s in files HTString.c and LYReadCFG.c (John Bley) * 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) * remove some weird cruft from HTAAUtil.h (yeah, "/home2/luotonen" is a good 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 * trailing ';' now is shown after HTML entities (reported by LP) -VH * split-up/correct typo in text at top of generated bookmark file -JS, -TD * allow anchors as input for commands 'g','G','E' -VH * correct off-by-one error in pointer to filename in DOSPATH configuration for LYPathLeaf() -DK * fix infinite recursion bug in lynx.cfg includes, from dev.25 integration (reported by LP) -VH * implement the following separators in lynx.cfg "include" commands: ":" on Unix " for " on all OS's -VH * fixes for LYList.c, adding title info to the (mostly unused) HTLinkType -KW * change remaining 's to
    in other html files, fix a few escapes that tidy (15-apr-99) reports. Leaving 's alone for the moment because there appears to be no standard equivalent -TD * change in lynx-dev.html to
    since the latter is standard, correct IEFT version and supply

    's as needed (Karl Eichwalder) * correct a couple of two documentation inconsistencies in the sources for USE_PSRC and -prettysrc (Karl Eichwalder ) * register free_messages_stack with atexit to fix some statusline leakage, explicitly fill out a struct initializer (John Bley) * fix a few html nits in the docs (John Bley) * cleanup some gcc -Wundef warnings -TD * add logic to free_lynx_cfg() to unset environment variables (requested by LP) -TD * modify SafeHTUnEscape() to work with EBCDIC (pg@sweng.stortek.com) * remove dangling comma in UrlTypes enum (reported by pg@sweng.stortek.com) -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:[:[* ] ] 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 ) * 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 -JS * 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 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 semicolons. (John Bley) * fix typo in configure --help for --disable-direct (reported by LV) -TD * update user's guide and lynx.cfg descriptions of jumps files - PW * fixes for related bugs tweaked by going to an internal page while viewing source, and a few blurbs in the documentation -DSB * fixes to separate RAW_MODE from internal variable LYRawMode by adding new variable LYUseDefaultRawMode -LP * add a missing null-pointer check in expand_tiname() (from report by KW) -TD 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(), 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 ) * 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 ) - 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 ) * 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 JS). Also, modify ifdef's for vs to avoid including the former when ANSI_VARARGS is not defined since HPUX had a broken - 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 (loosing 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 A B C , only 'AB' was drawn in style corresponding to -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 1999-03-30 (2.8.2dev.21) * disable LYatexit if memory-leak testing is not configured. * fixes for unhighlighting problems with color-style support (Vlad Harchev) * remove '(default: on)' and '(default: off)' strings from configure script 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 (reported by Andy Harper ) + 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 ) * 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

     mode by default - LP
    * undo recent   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,
      more comments added - LP
    * 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
      --disable-gopher wasn't right (John Bley)
    * remove a duplicate #include from HTFTP.c (John Bley)
    * remove several obsolete files from the source distribution (John Bley)
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAServ.*
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAFile.*
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAuth.*
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTACL.*
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTPasswd.*
      WWW/Library/Implementation/HTHistory.*
    * --disable-partial wasn't compiling because of a suppressed #include, replace
      one more free() with FREE() (John Bley)
    * correct typo LIsListpageTitle vs LYIsListpageTitle
      (reported by Artur Frysiak  and KED)
    * don't append sed expression to help_files.sed if the $(COMPRESS_EXT)
      variable is empty - TD
    1999-03-17 (2.8.2dev.20)
    * protect a couple of spaces with quotes in def7_uni.tbl (suggested by KW) - TD
    * add ifdef's for NO_RULES to HTAAServ.c - HN
    * add configure --disable-news option - JS
    * add configure --disable-finger option - JS
    * add malloc checks, remove some #includes that don't need to exist, and
      cleanup where somebody decided to waste instructions setting fields to 0 when
      he already memset()ed the whole struct to 0 (John Bley).
    * remove obsolete/unmaintained SHORT_NAMES ifdef's (John Bley).
    * add/use LYTrimStartfile function (suggested by LP) - TD
    * correct missing null-pointer check in add_printer_to_list function (forwarded
      by BJP from Debian bug-reports) - TD
    * add notes about $CC variable to INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS - JS, PW
    * tweak for TABLE formatting: break line at  end tag (don't wait
      for next  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 )
    * 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
    * — (—) now display as "--" (popular requests) - LP
    *   are now displayed as two   (popular requests),
      previous definition of HT_EM_SPACE now renamed to HT_EN_SPACE - LP
    * 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
    * move entities.h to src/chrtrans - LP
    * fix display of -help output: (on/off) info was wrong for UNSET_ARG case - LP
    * ifdef'd recent changes to LYPrint.c to build with djgpp - LP
    * remove redundant -DDEBUG from djgpp makefiles - LP
    * remove nonstandard ISO-9945-2 - LP
    * eliminate a duplicate --enable-included-msgs in configure --help, (reported
      by LV) - TD
    * redefine LY_BOLD_START_CHAR for EBCDIC platforms to avoid conflict, adjust
      IsSpecialAttrChar() to take this into account - PG
    * rewrite LYKeymapCodes with leading commas to avoid accidental/illegal
      use of trailing comma in an enum list - PG
    * modify UCdomap.h to avoid gcc-specific construct using cast to struct of
      data aggregate - PG
    * modify makefiles to allow .c.i rule to work with --srcdir - PG
    * add a rule to makefile.in to generate patches - PG
    * correction to LYCookie.c, to get it to eat all cookies (reported by LV) - BJP
    * corrections/updates to entities.h (Jacob Poon):
      HTML 4.0 compliance:
      - Added support for Euro currency symbol.
      - Fixed duplicated ◊ definitions.
      Fixes:
      - Fixed some typos in the old references. (fixed: b.delta)
    * update follow_help.html for LE's 123g changes - PW
    * further correction to 123g logic - LE
    1999-03-04 (2.8.2dev.19)
    * forgot to update PRCS when renaming src/chrtrans/iso9945uni.tbl - TD
    1999-03-04 (2.8.2dev.18)
    * modify configure script to recover if the intl and po directories are
      missing, allow experimentation with --enable-nls --disable-included-msgs
      --without-included-gettext options (request by HN) - TD
    * add sanity-check for EBCDIC FixCharacters() in LYMain.c - PG
    * ifdef'd the ADDRLIST code with EXP_ADDRLIST_PAGE, making this available as
      a configure script option --enable-addrlist-page - TD
    * 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 - JS
    * 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 )
    * add checks for some more LINK tags as listed in "6.12 Link types" of the HTML
      4.0 Specification (Masayasu Ishikawa )
    * 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  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 )
    * add a comment to aclocal.m4 to show where patches for autoconf, needed for
      this configure script, can be found - JS
    * 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 ) - TD
    * modify configure macro CF_EBCDIC to avoid using #error, since that is not
      recognized by all compilers - TD
    * include  in CF_INET_ADDR macro, to accommodate systems which
      require that to compile test program with the socket.h, other network
      headers - TD
    * removed a cast in free_lynx_cfg, on FREE's argument, which caused some
      compilers to report that an rvalue was being modified (reported by PW) - TD
    1999-02-16 (2.8.2dev.17)
    * modify LYReadCFG.c to avoid duplicating data for cookies - BJP
    * modify HTConfirm to use gettext values for yes/no.  Use HTConfirm in a few
      more places, though completing this will require more work - TD
    * 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, they 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  key (^I) and new BACKTAB_KEY, respectively.  Previously  was
      mapped from NEXT_LINK, which has some special handling if the invoking key
      was  (and if FASTTAB was defined in LYMainLoop.c, which was the case by
      default).  The old behavior of  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 
    not preceded by
    : 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: COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS, COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS, COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS They're the same sort as COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, comma-delimited lists - BJP * 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 - JS * add chrtrans tables for Ukrainian Cyrillic: koi8-u, cp866u, iso-9945-2 (patch by Serhii Hlodin ) * 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 ) * add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c, LYUtils.c (patch by John Bley) * add telnet, tn3270 and rlogin program paths to configure script (patch by 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 ) - 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 HTSprint0 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 ) * 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 ) * 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). * correct order of params for non-Unix use of HTAddParam in LYBookmark.c (reported by DK) 1998-12-31 * 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) 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 ) - 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) * 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 ) * 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 - JS * add note for successful build on NeXT to INSTALLATION (Christian Jensen ) * 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" ), 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 , also remove leading spaces from titles to make output a little better - LP * use djgpp's file, which contains default values for autoconf style definitions - LP * updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp for "SEE ALSO" sections - KED, JS * optimize the test commands specified in the mailcap file by remembering which tests have been run already. (patch by Marc Huber ) * 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: 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 - IZ * 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 - 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 , 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 - LW * correct options-message on Print page - IC * update installation note about freewais library (reported by Chris Maden ) - 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 - JS * 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 , 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 (JS, IC). * change fopen for write in LYCookie.c to LYNewTxtFile so that the resulting file will be readable by only the owner (Bill Nottingham suggested using umask, but that may not be portable enough) - TD * use CONST in some places in UCdomap.c and makeuctb, to make more tables sharable (suggested by LP) - TD * fixes for SunOS K&R compiler with/without unproto wrapper, i.e., definition of 'const' - TD 1998-11-23 (2.8.2dev.7) * convert KEY_ENTER to newline in LYgetch() to make Lynx work with IRIX's iris-ansi terminfo description, which equates the kent capability with carriage return. Doing this will allow lynx to use the keypad "enter" key as an alias for carriage return on most terminals - KW * correct a few missing ifdef's for disabling the partial-display logic - TD * add/use new functions HTAA_UidToName(), HTAA_NameToUid(), HTAA_GidToName() and HTAA_NameToGid() to hide details of code which uses pwd.h and grp.h, as well as to cache the returned user/group names, improving performance in the dired screen - TD * modify HTCheckForInterrupt() to check for interrupt no more than one per second, since this check is comparatively slow - TD * modify ANSI_VARARGS case for HTSprintf() and HTSprintf0() to always use ANSI prototypes, since __STDC__ may not necessarily be defined on some systems, resulting in an inconsistent definition - PG * add install-full rule to makefile.in - LV * modify PutDefs macro in LYShowInfo.c to check for nonnull table[N].value, which may be null due to limitations of cfg_defs.sh script on some platforms where an empty string was intended (reported by LV, PG, applies to 2.8.1rel.2) - TD * correct typo in 'make distclean' rule; an extra '-' prevented removal of .orig and .rej files (patch by LV). 1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.6) * add call on dbug_init to LYMain.c, allowing use of the debugging code built into the WATTCP code which is included in the DJGPP port of lynx. This is activated by placing lines in the WATTCP.CFG file for: DEBUG.MODE= (choices are HEADERS, DUMP, or ALL) DEBUG.PROTO= (choices are TCP, UDP, or ALL) DEBUG.FILE= (name of log file. Defaults to WATTCP.DBG) This adds about 2K to the size of the stripped, compressed executable. You get a log of the headers and/or a binary dump of the packets sent and received. Maybe this will help in determining where ftp is failing in this port - DK * correct definitions for ANSI_VARARGS, HAVE_STDARG_H in HTUtils.h (reported by LP, for djgpp) - TD * correct logic in StrAllocVsprintf(), remove spurious test on dst_len (analysis by LV) - TD 1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.5) * modify HTLoadFile() to make compressed files work with OS/2 EMX and LYSystem() to convert forward slashes in pathnames to backslashes, also for EMX (patches by Ilya Zakharevich). * documentation nits (apostrophes) in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h - LV * fix inconsistent newlines in po/it.po (report by Irving_Wolfe@Wolfe.net) - TD * modify config.guess, added Intergraph 2430 CLIX machines (reported by Alex Matulich ) - TD * minor fix in LYCharSets.c according to recent changes in UCDefs.h introduced by IBM OS/2 codepage number - LP * modify configure script to work with --enable-nls built into a subdirectory of the source tree (reported by PG) - TD * disable regeneration of intl/po2tbl.sed and po/POTFILES if --disable-nls configure option is specified - TD * add configure test for stdarg.h vs varargs.h - TD * fixes to work with SunOS K&R compiler - TD * don't trim trailing and leading spaces from unformatted text lines in some cases (split_line in GridText.c). Prevents corruption of some uuencoded files when they are displayed and then 'P'rinted (although 'D'ownload should be used instead) - KW * some changes in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). Splitting of long SOURCE lines now works with color styles - KW * workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML document with the same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW * check for 'z'ap while constructing local directory listings (non-VMS only, in HTFile.c) - KW * added a couple outofmem checks (HTAnchor.c). Minor TRACE message change in GridText.c for -tlog / USE_TRACE_LOG disabled - KW * when adding bookmark entries, don't accept a title string which appears to consist only of blank characters (LYBookmark.c). When rendering a bookmark file, use hiddenlinks=merge counting, so that numbers after entries with empty titles don't get out of whack (GridText.c). This should prevent 'R' from removing the wrong bookmark entry - KW * prevent generation of some unnecessary temp files when constructing mailcap file test commands (HTInit.c) - KW * include LYLeaks.h in UCdomap.c for memory leak detection - KW * fixed various memory leaks (UCdomap.c, LYShowInfo.c, LYReadCFG.c, LYMain.c, LYDownload.c, LYBookmark.c, HTML.c, DefaultStyle.c) - KW * escape '&' and '<' in HTML generated to display current lynx.cfg option values (LYReadCFG.c) - KW * revert logic in split_line. Emphasis highlighting that should extend over several lines was being lost at line breaks (GridText.c). (IsSpecialAttrChar probably shouldn't return true for LY_SOFT_NEWLINE since in most places it tests whether to skip a character position, but as long as this special char is only used in SOURCE mode it cannot mess up any anchor positions so it should be ok. - KW * correct character counting in SOURCE display continuation lines. A highlighted search target would be shown shifted left by one character position because the LY_SOFT_NEWLINE special was displayed as '+' but not counted (GridText.c) - KW * prevent generation of invalid/unparseable comments if UCSaveBookmarksInUnicode is in effect, other minor changes in LYBookmark.c - KW * correction for color styles in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). At some point a memmove was replaced by a for loop, but source and destination were reversed and the counter was wrong - KW * modify HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 to use a more generic approach to varargs by using only va_alist in the parameter list - TD * correct html expression in LYShowInfo.c of dev.3 which did not allow the temp file with the lynx.cfg settings to be accessed from the Configuration Definitions page (patch by IC - Ismael Cordeiro). * correct "Exiting" message format in cleanup_sig(), which had unexpanded %d (reported by BJP) - TD * add to config.hin the definitions set by AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro (PG pointed out that this also sets 'inline', needed for GNU gettext) - TD * modify MakeNewTitle() to check for null pointer, fixing core dump with verbose images when value[src_type] is null (reported by John Bley 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 )). * 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 ) - 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 ) - 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 ). * use exit_immediately() to reduce some signal-function clutter - LP * correct dependency in src/makefile.in for cfg_defs.h (Masashi Fujita ) * 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 * add preliminary changes from PG (pg@sweng.stortek.com) to support port to OS/390, some ifdef'd with __MVS__, some with EBCDIC and NOT_ASCII. * 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 standard library). Otherwise use the --disable-nls configure option - TD * 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 * first cut of integrating Jim Spath's changes to incorporate message library support. 1998-09-20 * Files edited for language hooks: src/HTAlert.c src/HTInit.c src/HTML.c src/LYBookmark.c src/LYCgi.c src/LYClean.c src/LYCookie.c src/LYCurses.c src/LYDownload.c src/LYEdit.c src/LYForms.c src/LYGetFile.c src/LYMail.c src/LYMain.c src/LYMainLoop.c src/LYMap.c src/LYNews.c src/LYPrint.c src/LYUpload.c src/LYUtils.c src/LYexit.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAABrow.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAProt.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAccess.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFTP.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFWriter.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFinger.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFormat.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTGopher.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTMIME.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTNews.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTRules.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTStyle.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTCP.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTP.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTVMSUtils.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTWAIS.c WWW/Library/Implementation/HTWSRC.c 1998-09-08 (2.8.1dev25-intl) * Resynch with dev tree - JES 1998-09-07 (2.8.1dev.21-intl) * About half through language hooks in WWW/Lib... - JES Integrated part of Chebucto's French translations. - JES * Included latest ABOUT-NLS from GNU project, 1998-08-27 (2.8.1dev.21-intl) * Tested language hooks using src/LYNews.c and Italian messages file provided by Sabato De Rosa . Made changes to LYMain.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYNews.c and HTNews.c. - JES 1998-08-27 (2.8.1dev.21-intl) * add hooks to GNU gettext for international language support - JES (This is an experimental modification that will be patched into the main Lynx release after other platform testing. I've only done NetBSD.) 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 ) * modify get_listen_socket() to check if master_socket is set before attempting to use it in FD_CLR (patch by Karl-Andre Skevik ) * minor documentation fixes - DK * use $(LIBS) symbol in src/chrtrans/makefile.in (reported by Alois Maier ) * 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 1998-10-27 (2.8.1rel.2) * tidy up version numbers - TD * modify HTDOS.h to permit compile with K&R compiler - TD 1998-10-24 (2.8.1rel.1) ----------------------- * reorganize lynx_help_main.html - PW * minor change to WWW/.../tcp.h to eliminate redefinition warning by DEC C - TD * move checking for command-line "-head" and related options before curses initialization so that program exits with correct terminal settings (report by LV, fix by 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 * modify read_cfg so that it does not display included-file information when NO_CONFIG_INFO is defined (reported by LP) - TD * minor/cosmetic fixes for comments and documentation - LP * revised patch for nsl-fork, which does not rely on WNOWAIT definition - BL * include termio.h in LYCurses.c only #ifdef TERMIO_AND_CURSES (Philippe De Muyter ) * modify cfg_defs.sh to work when the 'set' command emits double-quotes (pg@sweng.stortek.com) * update obsolete copy of HTFWriter.c to add content-encoding for HTFileSuffix (reported by David Helder 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) * add/use HTSYS_purge and HTSYS_remove functions (based on report by Tony Bolton and patch by BJP dealing with removing older versions of cookie files) - TD * add --disable-config-info option - TD * change configure script --enable-forms-options to --disable-forms-options, add --disable-menu-options - TD * comment-out FM's code to fold cookie headers and force cookies to be presented in the same order that they were received - BJP * use full "Implementation" directory name in include path in WWW djgpp makefile - DK * use HTDOS_name() to force DOS temporary-directory into consistent form - DK * include HTVMSUtils.h and HTDOS.h from LYUtils.h, consolidate some ifdef's using macro HTSYS_name - TD * another fix for HTTCP.c, for lookups with Lynx/32 - WB * add fallback to $TMPDIR for Lynx temporary directory on Unix - TD * 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 ) - 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 * add parentheses to eval-expression in CF_MAKE_INCLUDE configure test to accommodate bash2 (Tadayoshi Okuma ) 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 ) - 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 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: - 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 (patch by Eric ). * 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 ) - 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 ) - 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/", 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 (patch by 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" * update url for HTML Quick Reference Guide (report by LE) - TE * 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 explicitely - 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 ) - 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 ). * add fallback definitions for S_xxx macros to tcp.h (from report by Francisco A Tomei Torres 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 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 (reported by 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 ) * remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTInit.c, which is not used, since src/HTInit.c has this functionality - TD * change ID="" in Lynx_users_guide.html to ID="" to appease weblint; tested with IE&NS - TD. * Al's convention of '#' into '#' 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. * '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) ) - 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 - 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) ), 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 ) * 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 McBrayer) 1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21) * correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD * reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros, PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD * modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options, by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP * add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD * add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD * make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD * exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP * The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and makefile.wsl - DK * The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the default - DK * correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK * modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document source - TD * add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD * clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman). * Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU (NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g. on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid. Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP * Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choises which are not available under the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP * Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label "raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for others. 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 ) - LP * Turn partial_display off if we are not interactive (reported by Ari Moisio ) - 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 (patch by Mike Castle), ifdef'd with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS and configured with --enable-forms-options. * add option -eat_all_cookies and corresponding config variable EAT_ALL_COOKIES (Brian J Pardy ). * correct spurious 'Content' string versus newline after X-URL in LYMail.c (Bela Lubkin and 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. * nits/spelling in LYPrint.c, LYUtils.c (reported by Mike Castle). * 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 ) - TD * correct typo in command-line parsing of -lss option (reported by Chris Kottaridis ) * 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 ) * use memset to clear soc_in fields before doing a connect, needed for BSD/OS (patch by Jeffrey C Honig ). * 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 ) - 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 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 ) - TD * define symbols HAVE_CURSESX_H, HAVE_JCURSES_H (report by Georg Schwarz ) - 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 ) - 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 ) - 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 interferring, 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 HN) - TD * correct initial value for NoColorvideo with PDCurses, from my error in 1998-05-10 integration (reported by DK) - TD 1998-05-10 (2.8.1dev.10) * eliminate assignment to stderr for trace-file by making tfp a function. - TD * added John Davis' keymaps/keysym patch (it really should be integrated with the normal lynx.cfg file). * 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 ) - 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 ) * 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 Davis) - TD * rewrite parse_arg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a patch by John 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 ). - TD 1998-04-23 (2.8.1dev.7) * fix core-dump when pressing '.' on a page with no links (patch by Jan Hlav\'{a}\v{c}ek ). * 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 ). 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 ). - 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 ). - 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 ). * Change documentation to indicate "Lynx.trace" file rather than "lynx.trace". * 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 (patch by Randall ). Otherwise Lynx would always attempt to load a local file if the original string omits scheme:// prefix but guessing fails. * tweak formatting of .message in HTFTP.c so it has leading/trailing blank lines (patch by Ismael Cordeiro ) * 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@voland.cc.huji.ac.il and wschiavo@concentric.net>) * consistently use ${cf_cv_ncurses_header-curses.h} rather than $cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure script, as noted by JS - 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 interruptable 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, patch by 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 ) - 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
