* consistently use "_" in command-line options table and manual page, to work
with program logic that treats "-" as "_", but not the reverse (report by
Larry Hynes) -TD

options. According to RFC-3986, this is deprecated, but testing shows other
clients support it -TD
* fix several minor warnings reported by Coverity -TD
* remove redundant asserts which follow a check that leads to outofmem(),
added in 2.8.8dev.4 to appease clang 2.6, since clang 3.x understands
no-return function declarations -TD
* when converting host+params to idna, temporarily separate the params to
avoid a warning from idna_to_ascii_8z() -TD
* improve warning messages from 2.8.9dev.11 fixes when stripping user/password,
dropping an unnecessary message and fixing a case where all-punctuation
user name was not logged (report by Axel Beckert) -TD

used when connecting to the host (prompted by discussion of CVE-2016-9179
at https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2016/11/threads.html#00072) -TD
2016-11-08 (2.8.9dev.10)
* improved fix for OpenSSL 1.1 (Taketo Kabe).

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/322 treated as a Lynx parsing error the
punctuation such as "?" which is permitted by RFC-1738 in a user or password
field. RFC-3986 subsequently modified this. The improved message points out
the possible confusion by users when these fields contain punctuation -TD

* amend change made in 2.8.8dev.17 to permit multiple COLOR_STYLE items to
restore the ability to cancel the color-style by providing an explicitly
empty configuration item (in lynx.cfg, -lss or $LYNX_LSS). In lynx.cfg, it
is possible to follow the empty COLOR_STYLE with other data, but the -lss
option overrides everything, and if that is not found, $LYNX_LSS overrides
lynx.cfg -TD
* correct ifdef so that if the "news" parsing is disabled at compile time,
HTTP.c interprets https:// links correctly when a https_proxy is set up
(patch by Al Walker).

gnutls_protocol_set_priority function (reported by Axel Beckert, Andreas
Metzler) -TD
* modify CF_LD_RPATH_OPT configure macro, changing FreeBSD case to use
-Wl,-rpath rather than -rpath option. According to FreeBSD #178732, either
works since FreeBSD 4.x; however scons does not accept anything except the
-Wl,-rpath form -TD

* correct a bug in the map_string_to_keysym() function introduced in
2.8.8dev.17: as used via the remap() function, this returns the curses
code for a special key rather than Lynx's internal code (Debian #769601) -TD
* add checks when translating from UTF-8 to Unicode, to ensure that only the
shortest encoding is accepted. Other/longer encodings are mapped to the UCS
replacement character as in xterm (Debian #763268) -TD
* modify LYExpandHostForURL() to call HTGetAddrInfo(), allowing DNS lookups
for IPv6 to be interrupted, e.g., by typing ^G. This was a path overlooked
in 2.8.8dev.13 (reports by Chad Kline, etc.) -TD
* drop libgnutls-extra when using --with-gnutls-compat option -TD

generally are using incomplete dependencies - in turn introducing lots of
duplication. filter out the duplicates.
+ CF_CHECK_CFLAGS: workaround for ash-shell
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS: improve workaround for weak-linkage, seems to fix tests
with NetBSD 6.1
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER: cleanup the -no-gcc option which was leftover from
testing - prcs does not build with this option.

releases.
+ CF_SUBDIR_PATH: add /usr/pkg and /opt/local to help configuring with
pkgsrc and macports -TD

_NETBSD_SOURCE, even though it was released 2012-02-29 - appease it. At
the same time, turn on the verbose flag to show that most platforms need
platform-specific define's to get POSIX (sic). Also, add case for UnixWare
(report/discussion with Mark Ryan).

* trim unexpected query-parameters from file: URIs when checking for their
presentation and compression types. Not all browsers do this, etc. -TD
* modify forms-submit to trim query-parameters from the action URI if it
happens to be a file-URL. IE and some other browsers do this. The RFCs
do not mention this since forms are an HTTP feature (Debian #738121) -TD

* disable EXP_JAPANESEUTF8_SUPPORT if the system has no iconv support -TD
* modify makefiles to perform the src/chrtrans rules from the top-level rather
than via the src-level, solving the issue of "makefile races" -TD

- fix makefile races [espie]
- read/write result checking fixes to avoid unsigned comparisons vs -1 [krw]
However, the former is not an improvement; kept only the latter -TD
2014-01-11 (2.8.8pre.3)

URLs, e.g., which use %xy hexadecimal encoding. The decoded strings are
shown on the line following the encoded URLs if the strings are different.
Also if display-charset is UTF-8, modify -dump "References" URLs to show
the corresponding decoded strings for consistency with the text which is
already in UTF-8. Other URLs such as that shown in the status area are
shown in encoded form per previous discussion which recommending doing this
to address phishing attempts (Debian #398274) -TD

"localhost", e.g.,
file://localhost/XXX

+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, add msys / msysdll to known host/platform types
+ CF_X_ATHENA, trim extra X libraries after updating lists, to work with ld
--as-needed option which in effect uses only the first mention of the

LYNews.c since those do use LYgetStr's limits as it was designed. Other
calls generally did not need those limits -TD

displayed size of a TEXTAREA, but if declined, the TEXTAREA's content will
not be wrapped -TD

for pathnames to use the directory of lynx.exe
+ add check for unsafe filenames in DOS/Windows, e.g., those that correspond
to a device.
* update command-line syntax for the blat mailer, to work with blat 2.6.2 -TD
* change default in makelynx.bat to assume blat rather than blatj, because
the latter does not provide a way to authenticate user/password on a mail
server -TD
* change #define's for addrlist-page and alt-bindings to reflect their
non-experimental status -TD
* change default for --enable-addrlist-page configure option to enabled -TD

KEYMAP configuration as suggested by the commented lines in lynx.cfg (report
by Richie Wood) -TD

approximation comments -TD
* amend implementation of "readonly" attribute from 2.8.7dev.10 to distinguish
it from "disabled" (report by David Paschal) -TD
* amend change to cookie prefix matching from Debian #460108. The discussion
overlooked this definition from RFC 2109:
Path Defaults to the path of the request URL that generated the
Set-Cookie response, up to, but not including, the
right-most /.
In that context, lynx was correct to extract the default "path" attribute
of
http://jukebox/cgi-bin/disorder
as
/cgi-bin
rather than
/cgi-bin/disorder
as asserted in the report. However, lynx warned unnecessarily (according to
the bug report) about the given path attribute. Deciding whether to suppress
this warning is under control of the user via the lynx.cfg setting

* several changes to autoconf macros to lessen use of legacy shell feature
"${name-value}" in favor of "${name:-value}", since the former is broken in
recent versions of bash -TD
* apply overlooked patch from pre-2.8.5, makes RMDIR_PATH configurable
(report/patch by Frank Heckenbach).

directory, e.g., ~/foo -TD
* add an Options menu checkbox to tell if Lynx should send a user-agent string.
Unless the useragent restriction is set, the default for this checkbox is
off, so that Lynx will not send the string. The corresponding setting,
send_useragent, may be saved to ~/.lynxrc, but normally is not -TD
* correct type for HTNewsGetCharacter() in HTNews.c, which could return a
sign-extended character mistaken for EOF (report by Dallas E Legan II) -TD

versions -TD
* modify CF_SSL configure macro to build with MSYS for MinGW configuration -TD
* modify scanning of floats from lynx.cfg to allow Lynx to read POSIX values
in non-POSIX locales -TD
* modify configure script to check for msginit, needed to generate "en" po
file, and omit that target if msginit is not available, letting lynx build
with older gettext versions -TD

HText_appendCharacter() which would leave an extra character wrapped in some
cases, e.g., in the options menu when field-numbering was turned on -TD

separate directory to regenerate parsdate.c (prompted by discussion with PG
regarding building on z/OS which uses EBCDIC) -TD

* add a null-pointer check for content type, fix for 2.8.7dev.11 changes (Debian
#509321) -TD

option, which can be used to enable/disable use of the program as well as
specify the pathname used (prompted by comments by TG) -TD
* correct handling of --with-ssl option when pkg-config is not found -TD
2008-12-14 (2.8.7dev.11)
* add support for HTML5 rel=author in link (mailing list comments) -TD
* modify cookie-writing to not write if no cookies were read from the file
and none are available (Debian #354282) -TD
* fix src/tidy_tls.c X509_get_issuer_name to actually take the issuer DN of the
present certificate and not hope that it is the same as taking the subject DN
of the "next" certificate which may or may not exist (Debian #499945, patch
by Thomas Viehmann)
* modify exit code when doing a "-dump" to exit with error if the server
returned an error status for the page (Debian #299711) -TD
* fix ipv6 literal command-line parsing (Debian #180654, analysis by Fabio

* document width-limitation in manpage, fix a few stray 1024's still in the
source (report by Barry Haddow) -TD
* add "read_timeout" to lynx.cfg, and -read_timeout option to command-line
(prompted by Dries De Moor report on mailing list) -TD
* modify to handle a special case where the content-type is given as one of the
compressed types, to check if the address (after stripping the file suffix
for that compression) has a suffix that lynx could present -TD
For example:
http://foo/bar.html.gz
would display the uncompressed "bar.html" rather than offering to download
the file. This also allows one to add SUFFIX commands to lynx.cfg to display
the corresponding plain files.
For example:
SUFFIX:CHANGES.*:text/plain:8bit
SUFFIX:CHANGES:text/plain:8bit
for
http://foo/CHANGES.tmp.gz
http://foo/CHANGES.gz

version number in HTTP get's -TD
* change initialization of trace file, handing this during the first part of
argument parsing along with -help and -version, to show steps done for
initialization of presentors, etc -TD
* minor fix to LYstartPopup() to handle a case where the popup menu was too
large for the screen -TD
* fixes for srcdir!=objdir (report by FLWM) -TD
* modify man2hlp.sh to work from subdirectory, e.g., its parameter would be
"../lynx.man" -TD
* set POSIX locale for install-cfg.sh and man2hlp.sh since they use character
ranges -TD
* add switch -xhtml-parsing and lynx.cfg XHTML_PARSING setting to control
whether the extensions for XHTML 1.0 are used (prompted by bug report by
FLWM, as well as discussion on lynx-dev) -TD

* modify LYhighlight() to limit display of multicolumn characters -TD
* rewrite LYRefreshEdit(), to display multibyte/multicolumn characters properly
when using wide-character curses -TD
* revise introductory comment written to ".lynxrc" (Debian #461158) -TD
* discard anchor's post_data field in HTLoadDocument() if Lynx is about to
reload a document. That would happen if the result of the form includes a
link back to the form. Removing the data causes Lynx to prompt the user,
e.g.,
Resubmit POST content to http://localhost/cgi-bin/lynxtest.pl ? (y/n)
to offer the user the choice between revisiting form or re-POST'ing the
data that was on the form (report by Andreas K Foerster) -TD
* fixes for LYHighlight() when the highlighted text is empty -TD
* translate named entities, etc., for "content" field of refresh-URL, cf:
2.8.5dev.13 (report by Ivan Shmakov) -TD

* add update-po rule to top-level makefile -TD
* update fr.po, nl.po, tr.po, vi.po, zh_TW.po,sv.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx/
* parse doctype for xhtml, to tell when empty tags such as "<textarea />" can
be discarded (report by Nils Dagsson Moskopp) -TD
* parse xml processing-instruction to turn on UTF-8 decoding, as well as
disable upper/lower case transforming in source view (discussion on
lynx-dev) -TD
* fix typo in Lynx_users_guide.html (report by Kristof Zelechovski) -TD
* minor fix to documentation in lynx.cfg -PW
* use off_t rather than long for representing file sizes, e.g., when used to
print progress messages (reports by LP, Tomas Liska, TG, PG) -TD

from the existing tables in those files -TD

form -TD
* change calls to LYhandlePopupList() to turn on (or off) numbering when
keypad_mode is not NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS -PBM
* move close of session-file outside ifdef for VLINK_IN_SESSION, closing
session file properly if that ifdef is disabled. Add a null-pointer check
for visited links that are saved -PBM
* make auto_session and session_file configurable with ENABLE_LYNXRC -PBM
* separate configure "--enable-sessions" option from "--enable-session-cache"
option -PBM
* add ncurses scroll-wheel support, which requires the extended-mouse configure
option of ncurses (Debian #476394) -TD
Caveat: if running on a local terminal, setting the ESCDELAY environment
variable to 0 (zero) helps, since the event rate is rather high. That would
not help on a network with delays (this is true of all text applications that
use xterm's mouse protocol, such as gpm and ncurses).
* adapt/extend parsdate.y from tin to improve parsing of cookie expiration
times (Debian #480144) -TD
* update de.po (patch by Fabian Fingerle)
2008-04-27 (2.8.7dev.9)

GNU TLS without its gnutls-openssl library, whose newer versions are
available only under a restrictive license (reports by Andreas Metzler,
Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
* update README.sslcerts -SC
* add POSITIONAL_EDITOR setting to configure editors which accept a "+line"
parameter -PBM
* pass a newline after the start of PRE-section in HTGopher.c to force the
first newline between records to be seen and cause the lines to split
(report by Ciprian Dorin Craciun) -TD
* use TRST_MAXROWSPAN and TRST_MAXCOLSPAN limits in Stbl_reserveCellsInTable(),
to help the non-color-style version work with table using rowspan/colspan
set to "0", as well as correcting limits from original 2.8.3dev.14 changes
(report by George Sigletos) -TD, PBM
* modify behavior of "-nonumbers" option for -dump so it can be combined with
-listonly to obtain a list of the URLs without reference numbers (Debian

+ documented command-line options and configuration data for this feature.
+ document -child_relaxed option in Lynx users's guide.

locations, i.e., AM_ICONV, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_GNUTLS, CF_SSL, CF_WITH_BZLIB
and CF_WITH_ZLIB (prompted by LV comments) -TD
* modify popup for externals added in 2.8.4dev.20 to number the entries if
keypad mode is set to one of the numbered forms -PBM

tool such as valgrind -TD

by less-complete patch from Debian #401447, see also Debian #268102) -TD

This is tested for OpenSSL, ifdef'd to not break gnutls. Changes:
+ peer certificate is cached, no need to call SSL_get_peer_certificate()
twice

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

"lynx -crawl -dump" from 2.8.6dev.9 changes (Mandriva #29785) -TD
* replace BROKEN_PROFTPD and BROKEN_WU_FTPD logic with configurable list of
strings in lynx.cfg, i.e., BROKEN_FTP_RETR and BROKEN_FTP_EPSV, and add
"spftp/" to the predefined values for the former. Prompted by report by
Fred Kasner for
ftp.symantec.com/AVDEFS/norton_antivirus
which has a broken RETR command -TD

NSL_FORK, broken in 2.8.5dev.5 (report by Holger Lange) -TD
* modify IsOurFile() to allow its parameter to be a symbolic link to one of
the user's files (report by Rado Smiljanic) -TD
* check if there is piped-in data when starting without "-" or "-stdin"
options, warn about the ignored input data in that case (prompted by report
by Toralf Foerster) -TD

2006-11-12 (2.8.7dev.3)
* change the default HELPFILE to the 2.8.6 release directory since the
page on subir.com contains obsolete information -TD
* eliminate references to obsolete url
http://www.hippo.ru/%7Ehvv/
using the 2.8.6 release directory instead, e.g.,
http://lynx.isc.org/release/lynx2-8-6/lynx_help/
This is useful mainly for platforms which do not use the configure script -TD
* update et.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* modify CF_PDCURSES_X11 to use xcurses-config script if available -TD
* improve parsing for embedded "~", ensuring that it is interpreted as a
user's home directory only if it follows a pathname separator (Debian
#388622) -TD
* ensure that PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP and PERSONAL_MAILCAP are absolute
pathnames, performing tilde expansion as needed. Pathnames that are not
given in absolute form will be sought under the user's home directory as if
they began with "~/" -TD

* ensure that the configured values for GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP and GLOBAL_MAILCAP
are absolute pathnames -TD
* modify logic for reading PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP and PERSONAL_MAILCAP to
ensure that they are files that are controlled only by the user. The
default values for these allow lynx to read configuration information
from the user's current directory at lynx's startup (Debian #396949) -TD
* use CF_NCURSES_CONFIG to simplify linking against rpath'd library -TD
* fix CF_LARGEFILE so --disable-largefile works (from ncurses) -TD

* updated link in user's guide to HTML 3.0 reference (report by TH) -TD
* remove coloring for lh- and high-tags from LYStyle.c and sample ".lss" files
since that tag is nonstandard (report by TH) -TD
* update da.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* add script samples/oldlynx, which gives the non-color-style scheme using
an executable built for color-style -TD
* add DEFAULT_COLORS item to lynx.cfg to allow disabling the default colors
feature at runtime, allowing better matching of old color scheme via a
script -TD
* update VMS descrip.mms files, adding the ability to build with slang -TD
2006-09-10 (2.8.6pre.3)
* add NESTED_TABLES setting to lynx.cfg to allow site override of the built-in
default (see 2001-08-15 comments by TH) -TD
* update tr.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/

of getfile() is unneeded, we restore the link number as well as the line
number (Debian #386561) -TD
* modify makefile.msc to allow building with slang configuration -TD
* fixes for keyboard input of slang configuration in win32 (not MinGW) which
was broken in 2.8.3dev.5 -TD

text which caused the message to be displayed on the wrong lines (report
by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD

of Lynx 2.4.2 -TD
2006-09-03 (2.8.6pre.2)
* change configure script to put the ".cfg" and ".lss" files by default in the
--sysconfdir, e.g., $prefix/etc, and the help-files in lynx_doc and lynx_help
directories under --datadir, e.g., $prefix/share/lynx_doc,
$prefix/share/lynx_doc. To obtain the old behavior, use
configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/lib --datadir=/usr/local/lib
(patch by Rado Smiljanic).

William McBrine) -TD
* corrected placement of statements used for quiet compiler warnings for unused
variables in fancy_mouse() (reported by Rado Smiljanic, Nelson Beebe) -TD

Normally these are written to the status line but that does not exist when
dumping to standard output (Debian #375736) -TD

* add check for failure to write to disk, e.g., on disk full, and report
error condition via HTAlert() -PG

* add example of -source in manpage to explain how HREF's are constructed
(Debian #347989) -TD
* fixes to make redraw_part_of_line() to work with double-width characters.
This is used in color-style to repaint an inactive hyperlink -TD
* ensure the number of "extra" blanks in a line is greater than zero before
attempting to perform text-justification (Debian #363538) -TD
* improve wrapping logic in LYwaddnstr() by using a derived window. This fixes
a problem with wrapping of multibyte character links -TD
* repair fix for Debian #171312 by ensuring that it is only invoked if the
document was not being reloaded, or popped off the history stack. See logic
for popped_doc vs LYSetNewline() in LYMainLoop.c (report by TH) -TD
* add error-reporting for the PRETTYSRC_SPEC data in lynx.cfg

cursor position other places than lower-level when stopping curses (report
by DK) -TD
* add an explicit wmove() in display_line() to accommodate some wide-character
pages which are not handled well by the nested-table logic, resulting in
unexpected wrapping (report by Dan Jacobson) -TD
* modify limit for CJK double-byte characters in display_line() to accommodate
a test-case rightSideEdgeTest.html provided by TH -TD
* add a workaround in LYStrings.c myGetChar() for PDCurses, which may return an
ERR value which is not -1 (reports by DK, William McBrine) -TD
* remove ifdef from 2.8.2dev.14 which omitted bindtextdomain() call from DJGPP
NLS configuration -DK
* modify autoconf macro AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST to account for executable suffix
in win32 environment -DK
* correct a mistyped parameter to CreateThread() (report by DK) -TD
* do not use LIBOBJS symbol directly in configure script except to support
AC_REPLACE_FUNCS, since the autoconf macros dealing with that symbol changed
incompatibly in autoconf 2.54 (report by DK) -TD
* fixes to work with BeOS 5.0 -Nigel Horne
* use portable TXT_R rather than "rt" for popen() mode in clip_grab() (reported
by Antonio Maria Borneo) -TD
* modify makeutcb.c to avoid compile-time dependency upon gettext, in case it
is used in cross-compiling -TD
* modify expression for ws_read_per_sec in ws_netread() to avoid potential
divide-by-zero on a network error
(reported by David Potter) -Hataguchi Takeshi, -TD
* modify fix for Debian #335593 to ensure that only image maps for the current
page are listed (report by DK) -TD
* correct URL for HTML'ized description of all settings in lynx.cfg (report
by DK) -TD
* use configure macro CF_SIGWINCH to work around special case on Mac OS X
which leaves SIGWINCH undefined -TD
* add configure options --with-cfg-file and --with-lss-file to allow one to
specify the names and paths of the default configuration and color-style
files -TD
* change configure script --enable-color-style so it is enabled by default
(prompted by request by Jason Spiro) -TD
* add COLOR_STYLE setting to lynx.cfg -TD
* change default initialization of color-style code when no lss file is given
to simulate the non-color-style code. There are some visual differences,
e.g., links that contain a mixture of styles will display with mixed colors,
but overall the visual effect matches the non-color-style code well enough
to change the default configuration.
If an empty string is given for the lss filename, this is treated as an
empty style file, and lynx will not use its built-in default color style.
To make the behavior easier to diagnose, lynx will now exit with an error
if it cannot find the lss file. cf: 2000-07-16 (2.8.4dev.5) -TD
* fix a sign-extension in alignment case-statement in split_line() which could
cause a large indent for lines which are wider than the display (Debian
#360832, Debian #372670) -TD

* suppress OpenSSL URL from version message if it happens to be built using
GNU TLS -TD

since the Mosaic MetaIndex file is defunct (suggested by SC)
* update makelynx.bat (report by FLWM) -TD
* add presentation for text/css, to allow browsing ".css" files -SC
* modify LYPrint.c suggested_filename() to strip bzip2's ".bz2" suffixes as
well as ".zz" suffixes -TD

newterm() -DK
* update config.guess (2006-04-26) and config.sub (2006-05-13)
* improvements to configure script macros -TD
+ don't use curses_colr on HPUX 11

wildcards -Thorsten Glaser
* remove SH_EX hardcoded Latin-1 table for strcasecomp() -TD
* fixes for compiling in Cygwin environment -TH
+ modify not to check d_ino when __CYGWIN__ is defined because it
does not seem to be supported by Cygwin now.
+ modify to use fill_rehostent to avoid segfault in _fork_func,
which is used in Win32 environment (includes Cygwin).
* fix some printf formats -Thorsten Glaser
* fix some non-POSIX syntax in scripts/cfg_path.sh -PG
* modify makefile.in to ensure that scripts are prefixed with $(SHELL), in
case packager has stripped executable permissions from scripts, e.g., by
using CVS (report by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD

a HEAD on a link failed because there was no submit action associated with
the link (report by Walter Ian Kaye, SC) -TD
* improve tbl2html.pl script to cover the ranges and approximations used in
def7_uni.tbl -TD
* additional def7_uni.tbl conversions (patch by Tim Larson).
* fix ifdef's for repeated-include of winsock.h for Visual Studio 6 -TD
2006-01-22 (2.8.6dev.17)
* improve EXP_JAPANESEUTF8_SUPPORT -TH
+ correct an ifdef in HTMIME.c
+ correct the behavior of encoding a text in input element,
when the type is hidden and the text is japanese encoded utf-8.
+ correct "//TRANSLIT" position in iconv_open() parameter.
* remove redundant size-check in change for HText_trimHightext() in 2.8.5dev.8
to fix highlighting for this case:
<a href>Line 1<p>Line 2<p>Line 3</a>
(report by Andrew Belov) -TD
* add U+213B FAX to def7_uni.tbl (Debian #344275) -TD
* adjust anchor extent to discount trailing blank which is trimmed when
rendering. If the blank is not trimmed, link highlighting in color-style
will show a spurious character (report by Karl-Heinz Weirich) -TD
* fixes to source-view of ftp:// and file:// URLs, i.e., eliminate redundant
PRE's, add DOCTYPE and meta tags (Debian #347989) -TD
* modify makefile.msc to ease scripted building of various configurations
without needing to edit that file -TD

* modify configure script checks for gettext to supply include- and lib-paths,
e.g., to work on partly broken platforms such as FreeBSD -TD
* modify parsing of filename from Content-Disposition so that the name is not
truncated on embedded whitespace. For most systems, the blanks will be
retained. For VMS and MSDOS, the blanks are translated to underscores
(Debian #291716) -TD
* add a range-check for references to the style cache -Andrew Belov
* modify fmt_tempname() to avoid the possibility of long random sequences that
do not yield an unused filename (report by FLWM) -TD
* modify install rules for lynx.cfg to allow for pathnames on OS/2 EMX that
begin with a drive letter rather than a slash -TD
* move scripts that are not part of the configure script into scripts
subdirectory: cfg_defs.sh, cfg_edit, fixtext.sh -TD
* improve workaround for line-drawing characters with font-switching by
checking if the loaded font has line-drawing characters in the same positions
as the terminal description, rather than simply ignoring line-drawing when
the codeset differs (report by Karl-Heinz Weirich) -TD
* fix some ifdef's that did not work when disabling all features -TD
* fix a typo in LYMap.c from Debian #335593 changes (report by Jens
Schleusener) -TD
* really remove pointer to moxienet (report by SC) -TD
2005-12-18 (2.8.6dev.16)

#335593) -TD
* fix off-by-one line calculation that allowed the last page to be blank
(Debian #330413) -TD
* modify statusline() to retain one trailing blank if the given string has a
trailing blank. This makes prompts easier to read (report by Karl-Heinz
Weirich) -TD
* modify pipe read in LYGetHostByName() to retry until either the pipe closes
or the struct passed back from the child process completes. This is needed
for OS/2 EMX (report by Karl-Heinz Weirich) -TD

wide curses (Debian #342877) -TD
* add scripts/tbl2html.pl, which can be used to generate test pages for the
charsets from src/chrtrans/*.tbl -TD
* add ISO-8859-13 and ISO-8859-14 chrtrans tables, revise ISO-8859-10
based on
http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html
Change display name for ISO-8859-10 to indicate the region -TD
* add codepage 857 (DOSTurkish), since console-tools package provides a
suitable font -TD
* improve UCSetBoxChars(), checking if the current character set does not
match the character set inferred from the locale. This reduces the number
of cases where line-drawing in the options menu does not work -TD
* rename test/iso8859-1.html and test/iso88592.html to test/iso-8859-1.html
and test/isoi-8859-2.html, corresponding to the proper MIME names to
simplify test-scripts -TD
* update Linux console font support to use console-tools package (tested on
Debian). The configure script checks for consolechars and setfont programs
(must find at least one). The corresponding SETFONT_PATH can be set in
lynx.cfg to provide a choice between the two -TD
* strip special characters such as '%' from parameters passed to external
programs for EXTERNAL mechanism on Windows platform. This is ifdef'd
with WIN_EX (Hataguchi Takeshi).
* modify definition of addch_raw() to allow scrollbar to work with slang2
(this only works on the Windows platform) -GV
* modify LYSysShell() to use $COMSPEC if $SHELL is not defined -GV
* workaround for codepage support on OS/2 by changing the effect of unctrl().
Add/use new preferred function use_legacy_coding() to ncurses which provides
the same effect with the wide-character ncursesw (report by Karl-Heinz
Weirich) -TD
* fixes for de.po (Debian #313789, patch by Jens Seidel).
* add a null pointer check for HTCurSelectedOptionValue in
HText_setLastOptionValue() to improve handling of this fragment:
<FORM><SELECT><OPTION><FORM><SELECT>
(Alexey Dobriyan).
* add a null pointer check in HTML_TAB case of HTML_start_element() to handle
this fragment:
<TAB INDENT=1 TO>
(Alexey Dobriyan).
* remove pointer to
http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/
since it no longer has useful information about SSL for Lynx (Crouton).
* add description of configure --with-build-cc, etc., to INSTALLATION -TD
* modify Switch_Display_Charset() so the font-switching feature can be turned
off at runtime, rather than silently re-enabling it every time a new page is
viewed. The automatic switching is enabled if the user has configured lynx
to use one of the automatically-detected fonts -TD
* fix ifdef's to allow building --without-font-switch with OS/2 EMX -TD
* work around bug in PDCurses wrapping by adjusting LYcolLimit macro. The
2.8.6dev.14 change to HText_appendCharacter() exposed this bug in the Options menu
(report by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* fix change to lynx_default_colors() from 2.8.6dev.14 change to work with the
bright-blue.lss file (report by FLWM) -TD

YANAGIHARA Nobuyuki) -TD
2005-10-30 (2.8.6dev.15)
* update URL for VMS server information in LYCgi.c -TD
* modify LYLoadCGI() to prompt user, displaying the command that would be
executed, to confirm that it should be. This makes it easier to notice when
a local program would be run by activating a lynxcgi link. This is not done
in advanced mode, since the URL is already visible in the status line (report
by vade79, comments by Greg MacManus) -TD
2005-10-17 (2.8.6dev.14)
* add configure script support for large files; some changes made be needed to
the C code in 2.8.6dev.15 to exploit this -TD
* work around part of the forms-menu extra wrapping from 2.8.6dev.12 by adjusting
text-field maximum size in HText_beginInput(). There is still wrapping of
options lists, which has to be treated differently. The cause for this
is the fix made to HText_appendCharacter() in 2.8.6dev.12 -TD
* extend experimental option --enable-japanese-utf8, allowing lynx to convert
EUC-JP and Shift_JIS strings to UTF-8 -TH
* modify CF_BUILD_CC to avoid clobbering environment variable $BUILD_CC
(from ncurses changes) -TD
* remove special case in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE which suppresses _XOPEN_SOURCE
definition for Darwin (request by Emanuele Giaquinta)
* fix an off-by-one error in comparison in HText_appendCharacter(), from 2.8.6dev.12
changes which showed up as wrapped lines in the options menu -TD
* use h_addr_list[0] rather than h_addr in HTTCP.c for POSIX compatibility
(Emanuele Giaquinta)
* remove references to LIBCMU in HTTCP.c, since it is long obsolete -TD
* force a newline in HTML_end_element() after a </pre>, which causes lines
containing only whitespace before the </pre> to display a new line, rather
than putting that whitespace before text that follows the </pre> (report by
Thorsten Glaser for http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/changes.html) -TD
* improve fix for LYstartPopup() in 2.8.6dev.6 by keeping the menu width as-is and
adjusting its position rather than simply using the full screen-width when
the first try fails (report by Gene Small) -TD
* correct logic in lynx_default_colors() so the color-style configuration does
not attempt to use default colors on a terminal which does not support it
(report by Bryan Henderson) -TD
* add/improve limit checks in HTLex.c -Ulf Harnhammar, TD
* ifdef'd out unused code in HTGroup.c -TD
* eliminate fixed-size buffers in LYExpandHostForURL() to guard against
buffer overflow resulting from too-long domain prefix/suffix data from
lynx.cfg (report by Ulf Harnhammar) -TD
* add a check for missing ':' in gopher response, to recover from the error
(patch by Ulf Harnhammar)
* eliminate fixed-size buffers in HTrjis() and related functions to avoid
potential buffer overflow in nntp pages (report by Ulf Harnhammar,
CAN-2005-3120) -TD
* correct "escape" character used in HTMake822Word, which was literally an
ASCII escape character rather than the RFC-822 backslash from 2.8.2dev.3
changes (report by Frederic Briere, Debian #318034) -TD
* fix: when first "option" element of "select" had "disabled" attribute, Lynx
turned the entire "option/choice list" UNMODIFIABLE. The "disabled"
attribute of later "option" elements within the same "select" did not have
this effect. If the "disabled" attribute is honored, it should disable only
that element, not parent element or sibling elements (report by Paavo
Hartikainen) -TD
* make CF_TAR_OPTIONS configure macro work with DJGPP by using $EXEEXT -DK
* update config.guess (2005-09-19) and config.sub (2005-07-08)
* configure script updates from tin and ncurses -TD
* modify LYwaddnstr() to avoid sign-extension from changes in 2.8.6dev.12 (report
by FLWM) -TD
* modify initialization so that
cat options.txt | lynx -
will allow interactive use (report by Arne Kowallik) -TD
* add NO_MARGINS and NO_TITLE to lynx.cfg (request by SC) -TD
* adjust line-position for form fields when -notitle option is used (report by
Arne Kowallik) -TD
2005-06-07 (2.8.6dev.13)
* add a check in LYnormalColor() to ensure that the color value is really
a color, i.e., do not do anything for monochrome displays (reports by
OpenMacNews and Jens Schleusener) -TD
* make -nomargins option apply to Options menu layout -TD
* changes to LYwaddnstr() in 2.8.6dev.12 exposed a case from 2.8.6dev.6 where the title
string was not truncated to avoid wrapping (report by PG) -TD
* changes to LYwaddnstr() in 2.8.6dev.12 allowed recursion in a case that was only
designed for iteration (report by OpenMacNews) -TD
2005-06-02 (2.8.6dev.12)
* add rw.po, vi.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* modify ".lss" files to work equally well on terminals setup with white text
on black background, or the reverse. This also required fixing a few places
in LYsubwindow() and curses_w_style() to make window backgrounds use the
colors given in the ".lss" default- and normal-colors lines -TD
* make ".lss" example files somewhat readable by modifying parser to remove
blanks from the color description lines and modifying the example files to
use this feature -TD
* modify scripts/cfg2html.pl to use strict variable checking, Getopt::Std
to eliminate a uninitialized variable warning -TD
* modified fix for slang 2.0 which makes it clearer that the last parameter
of SLexpand_escaped_string is for UTF-8 -JED
* when SOURCE_CACHE_MEMORY is used, avoid repeated realloc's of the same
memory chunk (really annoying for a long document) -LP
* HTChunk extended to a linked list of chunks, additional put methods added.
Useful for pool infrastructure -LP
* add ".h" to .SUFFIXES rule in src/chrtrans/makefile.in to work around change
made in NetBSD "make" late in 2003, incorporated into the 2.0 release.
The CVS change notes:
Trim .SUFFIXES to only contain those used in this file.
(reported by SC, comments by Klaus Klein and Martin Husemann) -TD
* modify LYhighlight() to allow for the case where a form link extends for
several lines. It was not providing enough padding to fill in the "_"
characters past the first line of the link -TD
* modify LYwaddnstr() to account for the case where LYhighlight calls it to
display a link which extends beyond the current line, i.e., it should be
wrapped. When lynx is built to use curses-pads, the highlighting was instead
truncated since it was computed according to the pad's limits. Fixing this
exposes some related problems with off-by-one's in GridText.c -TD
* correct parsing of "key 0xNN" lines in command-scripts, had omitted a "!"
to invert a check (report by Silvio Moioli) -TD
* correct off-by-one in expression for LYHideCursor(), since 2.8.6dev.6 changes
modified the LYcolLimit variable, changing it from the last usable column
value to the number of columns (report by DK) -TD
* correct expression in HText_appendCharacter() which was simplified in
2.8.5dev.4, but broke a comparison used for text-justification -TD
* adjust wide-character offset computation in HText_trimHightext() to account
for soft newlines, i.e., the cell reserved to show continuation lines -TD
* modify source-view toggle to keep the current anchor visible. Toggling
source view may change the line number on which the anchor is found,
requiring some adjustment. This feature is implemented only for source
cached pages -TD
* remove obsolete ifdef in LYwaddnstr() for ncurses 5.1's experimental UTF-8
support -TD
* modify HTConfirmCookie() and statusline() to allow cookie prompt message in
Japanese to not be truncated when using wide-curses -TD
* modify logic for locale_charset configuration variable so it is not modified
simply by saving the .lynxrc while in running in a non-locale configuration.
That does not alter the display charset used by lynx -TD
* correct calculation of extra space available for justification in
split_line() for the wide-curses configuration. Changes from 2.8.6dev.6
made this count formatting control characters twice, resulting in some
lines too long when justification was enabled -TD
* improve description of command-line option syntax in the manpage, including
noting how to find the default values for most options (Debian #292393) -TD
* modify is_true/is_false macros for processing command-line options to accept
"true" and "false" strings for consistency with the lynx.cfg parser, and to
ignore case of the boolean option values -TD
* add -notitle option to suppress title line and following blank line to
maximize screen use for small displays (request by Daniele Baggio) -TD
* add -nomargins option to suppress left/right margins to maximize screen use
for small displays (request by Daniele Baggio) -TD
* add null-pointer checks in HText_setLastOptionValue() to guard against empty
<select> (report by Al Viro) -TD
* fixes to allow compiling with slang 2.0 prerelease 5 -GV
* fix to avoid divide-by-zero in ws_netread() -GV
* modify ifdef for popup_choice() to work with handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE() on
NetBSD 2.0 (report by Gabor Z Papp) -TD
2005-01-05 (2.8.6dev.11)
* add presentation type for application/xml and text/xml mime types as per
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801
which states that they may be used, though application/xhtml+xml is the
preferred media type (Debian #184482) -TD
* remove an extra free() introduced in fixes from 2.8.6dev.10 for leak-checking
(reports by Thorsten Glaser, FLWM) -TD
2005-01-02 (2.8.6dev.10)
* correct final sed command in help_files.sed which was not a basic regular
expression, left some links ending with .gz.gz -TD
* update config.guess, config.sub
* modify configure script to check for Intel compiler 8.0 -TD
* modify ifdef's for USE_DEFAULT_COLORS, disabling it if the
use_default_colors() function is not found -TD
* modify to allow compiling with C++ compiler, e.g., rename conflicting
keywords such as new, class, template (suggested by Nelson Beebe) -TD
* remove leading/trailing blanks from suggested title string for ADD_BOOKMARK
(request by Walter Ian Kaye) -TD
* add tags rules to makefile.in's -TD
* repair fix for Debian #171312 by ensuring that it is only invoked if a URL
fragment was found in the getfile() call (report by PG) -TD
* correct leak-checking for result of LYAddHilite(), which was not freeing
the associated strings -TD
* correct leak-checking for result of LYcommandList(), which was not freeing
the associated strings -TD
* correct pointer initialization in LYCheckForProxyURL() broken by fix for
Debian #240237 (reported by GV, SC) -TD
2004-12-30 (2.8.6dev.9)
* remove fixed limit on history[] array (report by Richard Eyre) -TD
* improve logic for highlighting links which extend to multiple lines by
ensuring that if they cover a blank line that the following lines of the
link will be highlighted rather than the blank line (report by Hataguchi
Takeshi) -TD
* replace most instances of exit() by exit_immediately(), except those needed
for the leak-checking code, to add an ifdef'd call to _nc_freeall() which
simplifies testing with valgrind -TD
* fix definition of put_clip(), to compile in Windows environment (Hataguchi
Takeshi).
* update da.po, et.po, hu.po, nl.po, sv.po, tr.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* fix for mouse versus network I/O -GV
Building the djgpp version with S-Lang and mouse-support causes network I/O
to stop when Lynx is idle waiting for key/mouse events. This patch adds a
djgpp_idle_loop() function that does what getxkey() used to do; calls
tcp_tick() to finish off closed sockets and reply to pings etc. Tested with
PD-curses 2.6 too, but I couldn't get mouse to work under DOS. Not sure
that's possible at all.
* add "Anonymous FTP Password" to Options menu, to allow user to override use
of personal email address as the anonymous ftp password (Debian #137480) -TD
* modify LYCheckForProxyURL() to check if a colon follows a slash, which would
make the colon not part of a URL (report/patch by Matt Kraal (Debian
#240237)).
* add test/special_urls.html -TD
* update test/iso8859-1.html (minor fixes) from
http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html
* add check for broken WU_FTPD 2.6.2-12, e.g., at ftp://ftp.pppl.gov/, and
disable EPSV. This is ifdef'd with BROKEN_WU_FTPD and checks version (Debian
#66560, as well as April 2003 reports by HN, PW) -TD
* modify getfile(), etc., to ensure that following a link consisting of a
fragment will move the cursor to the link containing the target rather than
simply ensuring that it is visible (Debian #171312) -TD
* modify ShowInfo() to list the rendered size in bytes if the Content-Length
is not available (Debian #61085) -TD
* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() and void print_crawl_to_fd() to ensure that no
trailing blanks are written (Debian #204515) -TD
* modify behavior when user attempts to toggle a radiobutton off, to make the
message that one radio button must be selected only in novice mode (Debian
#121520) -TD
* make the maximum number of cookies configurable in lynx.cfg, added
MAX_COOKIES_DOMAIN, MAX_COOKIES_GLOBAL and MAX_COOKIES_BUFFER (Debian
#152810) -TD
* reduce embedded blanks in button labels to single blanks -TD
* reduce embedded blanks in title strings to single blanks (Debian #284679) -TD
* add command-line option (-syslog-urls) and lynx.cfg settings (SYSLOG_TEXT,
SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS) to allow syslog'ing of URLs to be optional. This
cannot be set from the options menu (Debian #282739) -TD
* modify HTParse() to restore a slash which may be removed during
simplification of URLs such as "file://localhost/tmp/..". The
LYFillLocalFileURL() function would then append the current directory to the
URL rather than the expected "/". This case which happens in DIRED, was
caused by 2.8.5dev.15 changes (Debian #285140) -TD
2004-11-07 (2.8.6dev.8)
* improve def7_uni.tbl substitutions for the symbols beginning at U+2600
(patch by Tim Larson <Tim.Larson@conagrafoods.com>).
* update nl.po, sv.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* add clean.com -TD
* scripting fixes to make OpenVMS/IA64 platform build/work -TD
* several changes to use const, prompted by VMS compiler warnings -TD
* remove build-slang.com -TD
* simplify libmake.com -TD
* modify build.com, making its second parameter a comma-separated list of the
special libraries which may be used, e.g., bzlib, slang, ssl and zlib -TD
* some cleanup using non_empty() macro -TD
* limit TEXTAREA columns to the screen width, and rows to 3 times the screen
height (report by FLWM) -TD
2004-10-17 (2.8.6dev.7)
* update de.po, et.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx
* clarification in manpage description of "-pseudo_inlines" option (Dan
Jacobson).
* correct parsing of embedded URLs which have parameters but no path, e.g.,
base
http://wj55.org/Minutes.php
and embedded
?date_meeting=2004-08-31
(Debian #274619, report/analysis by Liam K Morland) -TD
* improve description of --assume-local-charset option (Debian #270915) -TD
* revise configure script check whether _POSIX_C_SOURCE should be defined,
taking into account the _POSIX_SOURCE definition (report by PG) -TD
* add --with-system-type option to configure script to simplify testing the
case-statements involving $host_os -TD
* fix a memory leak in IPv6 version of HTGetAddrInfo() -TD
* modify HTCompressed() to choose the last viewer in the list with the best
quality. User-defined viewers appear after the built-in viewers, and by
choosing the last, lynx allows one to override the built-in defaults -TD
* add "deflate" to the encoding types which lynx implements. This consists
of several parts (report by Thorsten Glaser) -TD
+ adapted logic from w3m's inflate.c to construct an internal "deflate"
decompressor. Tested this with
http://carsten.codimi.de/gzip.yaws/
+ simplify VMS-specific logic for trimming version in HTLoadFile().
+ combined VMS- and Unix logic for decompression in HTLoadFile() as a new
function decompressAndParse() to eliminate clutter. As a side-effect,
eliminate some memory leaks in cases where the file is not loaded properly.
+ add/use new function HTEncodingToCompressType() to eliminate clutter.
+ add "deflate" to the options menu.
+ modify logic that builds "Accept-Encoding" value to omit encodings which
have no external decompressor associated. The effect of this change is to
allow lynx to behave as it did before adding the (possibly incomplete)
"inflate" support.
+ add INFLATE_PATH to lynx.cfg, to optionally specify an external program
which can be used to decompress deflated files. For testing, a shell
script using w3m's utility, e.g., /usr/lib/w3m/inflate, sufficed.
NOTE: As currently implemented, lynx requires the external decompression
programs to be specified even if it can decompress using library calls.
+ use ".zz" for suffix of downloaded (but not inflated) deflated files,
mapped to application/deflate and application/x-deflate.
* fix LYSetConfigValue(), which did not properly handle the CONF_PRG case which
is used to allow user configuring the program paths -TD
* fix content_is_compressed() function, which was checking for the absence only
of some nonstandard encodings (8bit, 7bit, binary) rather than for the
presence of the encodings as specified in RFC 2068 (gzip, compress, etc).
This makes lynx able to view a site
which puts the charset as the Content-Type (report by FLWM) -TD
* fix configure script: top-level makefile uses $(TAR), which was not defined
if --without-dired option was used (report by Gabor Z Papp) -TD
2004-10-10 (2.8.6dev.6)
* highlight the target and pause for 20 milliseconds when selecting a link with
the mouse -GV
* improve layout of options-menu and info-page for multibyte character sets by
computing the extent of the labels. This works only for wide-character
curses (this addresses part of Debian #240069) -TD
* improve check in LYstartPopup() for case where a window would be created too
far right to be entirely visible. ncurses changes in 20040417 to allow
windows to extend beyond the terminal limits exposed this problem (which may
have occurred with other versions of curses). Older versions of ncurses
would return an error in this case (forcing lynx to do the proper layout),
obscuring the actual problem. Noticed that the same problem applies to slang
configuration, and applied a comparable fix there too -TD
* modify HTConfirmCookie() to ensure the translator's note is copied into the
lynx.pot file, by adding a gettext("Y/N/A/V") call after the comment -TD
* remove references in makefile.in to the "intl" subdirectory since that is no
longer packaged with lynx -TD
* modify column limits, allowing text to be written to the last column on the
screen. This allows users to view text which is formatted for 80 columns
without the last character of each line wrapping to the next line -TD
* minor fixes to fr.po (Debian #119751, and aspell) -TD
* remove newline from format in lookup_reject(), fixes a bug introduced in
2.8.5dev.2 which caused traversal reject-lookups to fail -TD
* minor fixes to fr.po, cs.po and pt_BR.po to eliminate fatal errors as
reported by "msgfmt -c -v" -TD
* minor fix to fr.po (Debian #271048, report/patch by Arnaud Giersch).
* update URL for "HTML Quick Reference Guide" in lynx_help_main.html (report
by Jim Jackson) -TD
* update hu.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx
* remove a "defined(gettext)" from the ifdef's in HTConfirmCookie(), since
recent GNU gettext, e.g., 0.13.1, introduced an incompatible/undocumented
change to make the function a macro which is defined in terms of dgettext()
(Debian #204994, report by Mattias Ostergren) -TD
* modify pumpData() in HTMIME.c to improve recovery when a charset is found
that cannot be translated. Before this change, the charset was not stripped
from the format string, e.g.,
text/html; charset=big5
and since there would be no match for the format, lynx would offer to simply
download the page (if interactive), or refuse to format (for dumps).
Although the content of the page is unusable, the user can still navigate
the page using the links which may be there (Debian #254603) -TD
* add -nonumbers option, which modifies the output of -dump to suppress the
link-numbering (Debian #255571) -TD
* add -listonly option, which modifies the output of -dump to show only the
list of links (Debian #255571) -TD
* modify treatment of symbolic links for ftp-URLs to show the link target, as
with the local directory editor -TD
* correct sort-order of local directory listing, using the target of a symbolic
link to determine whether it is grouped with files or directories (adapted
from patch by Kees Cook) -TD
* modify template for temporary-directory name, adding "lynx" prefix (Debian
#267356) -TD
* fixes for configure script macros used for --enable-nls when --srcdir is
used (from bug report for dialog by Mike Castle) -TD
* improve configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that _POSIX_C_SOURCE
is defined with a value (comment on comp.sys.stratus newsgroup) -TD
* reduce TRST_MAXROWSPAN and TRST_MAXCOLSPAN to 200, which is more plausible
than 10000 by 1000 (discussion on lynx-dev related to report by Edgard
Pineda) -TD
* modify LYShowInfo.c to entify most strings, and provide for alignment of
fields in different locales -TD
2004-06-30 (2.8.6dev.5)
* use LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() on the value passed to handle_LYK_HELP() in case
it is of the form file:///path rather than file://localhost/path -DK
* add configure check for ncurses' curses_version() function, using that in
the "-version" output. Add comparable ifdef's for PDCurses and slang -TD
* Some patches to enable IPv6 on Windows (tested with MingW and MSVC6). Some
minor cleanups also -GV
+ LYutils.c; fixed extraction of module/system error strings.
+ Xsystem.c; use <io.h> for mktemp() prototype.
+ HTTCP.c; don't use global host[], fixed call-convention of thread- function
(must be __stdcall). Sets pending WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND error status.
+ HTTP.c; _thread_func() wasn't __stdcall.
+ LYexit.c; avoid redeclaring error of exit() in <process.h>. IMHO it's very
bad to shadow ANSI functions like this. Should call LYexit() explicitly.
+ www_tcp.h; cleanup for MSVC and IPv6 headers and macros. Increase
MAXHOSTNAMELEN to 128.
* updated po files (da.po, et.po, hu.po, sv.po, tr.po) from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/domains/
* change HTDOS_wwwName() and HTVMS_wwwName() to return a const value (report
by Serge B) -TD
* update configure script macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (fixes Debian #238057) and
CF_X_ATHENA (from xterm) -TD
* update config.guess (2004-06-24) and config.sub (2004-06-24)
* modified mailcap command and testcommand substitutions to provide for
running the testcommand's after program initialization (prompted by review
of Debian #167200, which gave as example a mailcap using %{charset} in the
test commands) -TD
* add (ifdef'd with EXP_HTTP_HEADERS) code in HTMIME.c to collect and in
LYShowInfo.c to display the full text of the HTTP headers -TD
* correct command-line options table for "-get_data" and "-post_data" which
were processed twice, thereby discarding the value (Debian #132674) -TD
* lynx accepts multiple URLs on the command line; all are added to G)oto
history. Documented this in manpage (Debian #177062) -TD
* modify logic for -dump so it can dump all pages listed on the command line
(Debian #199131) -TD
* add presentation type for application/xhtml+xml mime type as per RFC 3236
(report by Elimar Riesebieter) -TD
2004-05-23 (2.8.6dev.4)
* use puts() rather than printf() in some messages to avoid chance of "%" in
the translation -TD
* add experimental option --enable-japanese-utf8 for using libiconv for
Japanese and UTF-8 -TH, TD
* update makelynx.bat -Victor Schneider
* modify configure script CF_ADD_CFLAGS to put definitions of quoted strings
in EXTRA_CPPFLAGS -TD
* fixes from Thorsten Glaser:
+ check for arc4random as a possible random function.
+ modify configure script CF_CHECK_CACHE to look for config.guess in
$ac_aux_dir if it is not in the source directory.
* fix naming conflict with AS_cmp() function when NOT_ASCII is defined -PG
* read user's ".newsauth" file for news-server authentication information
(prompted by A R Vener request) -TD
* modify HTSaveAndExecute() to check first for result from HTFileSuffix()
before choosing between BIN_SUFFIX and HTML_SUFFIX. This allows the PDF
viewer on OS X to get the proper suffix (.pdf) rather than .bin -PG, TD
* filter out extra screen-repainting when a charset change is made -IZ
* update README and other documentation to reflect new mailing list -TD
* add PREFERRED_ENCODING to lynx.cfg, along with an options-menu selection for
this, to set "Accept-Encoding:" string -TD
* add PREFERRED_MEDIA_TYPES to lynx.cfg, corresponding to the option for
HTFilterPresentations(). A minimal set of media types is used by default,
though the old behavior can be selected -TD
* modify HTFilterPresentations() to use new option menu entry for specifying
what parts of the user- and system-mailcap data to use in Accept's. The
intent is to provide easily managed subsets of the Accept string, to work
with servers that do not accept long Accept strings (prompted by discussion
on lynx-dev mailing list) -TD
* Remove logic from HTFilterPresentations() which reduced the Accept strings
based on wildcards since RFC 2616 says wildcards are lower precedence than
other settings -TD
* improve matching for mailcap test-commands in HTInit.c by eliminating
unnecessary whitespace with TrimCommand() -TD
* remove obsolete note about SSL patches in lynx_url_support.html -TD
2004-05-06 (2.8.6dev.3)
* add scripts/indent.sh, use this to reindent C source files -TD
* bump version in makefile.in to 2.8.6 -TD
2004-04-27 (2.8.6dev.2)
* modify CF_NCURSES_LIBS to only look for -lmytinfo when building with ncurses.
This works around FreeBSD's broken linker semantics when configuring for
ncursesw -TD
* update CF_GNUTLS macro to look for -lgnutls-openssl as well as the older
-lgnutls-extra library -TD
* fix a spurious match of <openssl/ssl.h> when --with-ssl=path option provides
enough information to ensure that the test would be incorrect -TD
* update config.guess (2004-02-16), config.sub (2004-02-23)
* fixes to src/chrtrans/makefile.in, e.g., for building PDCurses version,
broken by 2.8.6dev.1 changes for cross-compiling -TD
* remove macros such as ARGS1, NOPARM which supported K&R compilers -TD
2004-04-19 (2.8.6dev.1)
* correct ifdef in LYgetattrs() to ensure that getattrs() is used only if the
configure script actually found it (report/patch by Paul Gilmartin).
* correct LYcommandList() to allocate data passed to HTList_addObject(), since
LYRemoveFromCloset() may free it (report by FLWM) -TD
* modify configure-script check for use_default_colors() to allow it to find
NetBSD's implementation of that function (report/patch by Julian Coleman)
* check for non-null file pointer in cleanup of makeuctb to work properly when
it is invoked without command-line parameters (report by FLWM) -TD
* add a null-pointer check to parameter of HTQuoteParameter(), fixes bug
introduced in 2.8.5pre.4 (report by FLWM) -TD
* correct units shown by HTReadProgress() for very low rates - bug from
2.8.5pre.3 changes (report by PG) -TD
* use symbol USE_VERTRACE in HTUtils.h to allow makefiles that do not use the
configure script to turn on the equivalent --enable vertrace feature (request
by FLWM) -TD
* modify configure script and makefiles to allow cross-compiling -TD
* make ANSI C required, drop support for K&R C -TD
* update current-version in README -LP
* updated po files (da.po, de.po, et.po, hu.po, tr.po) from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* use autoconf 2.52 (plus patches), to simplify use in cross-compiling -TD
* escape "From " when it appears in a page which is mailed, to avoid confusing
mail clients -TD
2004-02-04 (2.8.5rel.1)
* build fixes for MINGW32 -DK
* build fixes for OS/2 (reported by IZ) -TD
2004-02-02 (2.8.5pre.5)
* MINGW32-specific changes to build with that configuration using the configure
script in Cygwin and "-mno-cygwin" option -DK
* move Cygwin defines for WIN_EX, _WINDOWS_NSL out of www_tcp.h, to the
configure script to fix a definition-order problem with CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE
(report by DK) -TD
* improve workaround for ncurses to build with pre-4.0 versions that do not
declare attr_t -TD
2004-01-28 (2.8.5pre.4)
* workaround to build with ncurses 4.2 -TD
* fixes from Thorsten Glaser:
+ use ${GNUSYSTEM_AUX_DIR}/mkinstalldirs if it exists.
+ use $ac_config_sub variable in CF_CHECK_CACHE macro.
+ add case in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to prevent defining _XOPEN_SOURCE
+ use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) variable in generated makefile.
+ correct comment in lynx.cfg for the default value of FTP_PASSIVE
+ increase pattern length for mkdtemp() call.
* add command-line & menu option/config variables to replace the compile-time
UNDERLINE_LINKS definition (suggested by BL) -TD
* correct ownership of installed lynx_doc directory (report by FLWM, PG) -TD
* modify configure check for tar to test several common variants including
star, modify makefile.in to use the configured 'tar' program (request by
FLWM) -TD
* compiler ifdef-fixes -BL
* documentation updates for DJGPP and OpenSSL -DK
* fixes/updates for DJGPP makefiles -DK
* modify po/makefile.inn to substitute the PACKAGE and VERSION strings into
lynx.pot automatically, and to remove the unused boilerplate header comment
(suggested by LP) -TD
* fixes for substituted project-version in configure script -TD
2004-01-24 (2.8.5pre.3)
* update documentation's version numbers for release -TD
* modify configure check for libbz2 to allow for older headers which do not
include <stdio.h> -TD
* add configure option --enable-locale-charset, which adds configure settings
and an option-menu checkbox telling lynx if it should use the function call
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to find the display character set rather than rely on
the user to set it via lynx.cfg or the options menu (discussion with Andreas
Metzler) -TD
* remove intl subdirectory (gettext-0.10.35), since some of the ".po" files
have been modified to rely upon newer features of gettext. Modified
configure script macro to report this properly -TD
* add SSL_CERT_DIR, SSL_CERT_FILE to lynx.man (suggested by SC) -TD
* documentation updates for DJGPP -DK, LP, FLWM
* update address for Free Software Foundation in COPYHEADER and COPYING
(Atsuhito Kohda).
* change CF_CHECK_IPV6 to warn rather than error-out if a working getaddrinfo()
function cannot be found. The previous behavior would warn on Linux and
error-out on other systems (report by RobertM) -TD
* localized displayed strings used for popups in options menu -TD
* add SHOW_KB_NAME to allow user to decide whether to display "KB" or "Kib"
or even "Kilobytes" for the progress message (discussion on lynx-dev) -TD
* correct form generated to select Visited Links page in LYHistory.c to match
the values used in LYOptions.c with new function LYMenuVisitedLinks, and
corrected ifdef to ensure that menu is generated when the forms-based option
menu is configured (report by TH) -TD
* modify configure check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since AC_PROG_RANLIB
does not do proper cross-compiling checks. This actually applies to autoconf
2.5x -- autoconf 2.13 does less in that area -TD
* update config.guess (2004-01-05) and config.sub (2004-01-05).
* ensure that freeaddrinfo() is only called if lynx has initialized its
parameter, fixes a core-dump on IRIX6.5 -TD
* change remaining references for lynx.browser.org to lynx.isc.org (reported by
Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
2004-01-19 (2.8.5pre.2)
* update URLs in docs/README.ssl (SC, DK).
* use http://search.lycos.com rather than the messy http://www.lycos.com -DK
* update some URLs in lynx_help -FLWM (Frederic L W Meunier)
* remove a few unnecessary #include's (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* fix some compiler warnings with casts -PG
* add docs/ directory to "make install-doc" rule. If the help-files are
compressed, the same will apply to the non-README files in that directory
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* minor fixes to allow compiling with K&R compiler, e.g.,SunOS 4.x with the
5lib curses -TD
* split up remove_file() in LYLocal.c so directory removal is performed in a
separate function remove_directory(). Neither will perform an "rm -rf",
but only single operations "rm" and "rmdir". The original behavior can be
obtained by setting RMDIR_PATH to point to a script which does "rm -rf"
in lynx.cfg (suggested by Pat Walsh).
* modify configure script so NetBSD does not define _XOPEN_SOURCE, since that
makes the IPv6 code not compile -TD
* modify configure script to prefer _SGI_SOURCE on IRIX6.5 to allow it to
compile IPv6 support (report by RobertM) -TD
* replace fixed-buffer Style_className[] with a dynamically-allocated buffer,
needed for large pages which lack correctly-nested tags, e.g.,
http://www.aspas-nature.org/petitions/petition2.html
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* move OMIT_SCN_KEEPING definition to LYHash.h, to avoid mismatch between the
LYCurses.c and HTML.c -TD
* remove obsolete OPT_SCN ifdef from HTML.c since the inactive side does not
compile -TD
* fix a few out-of-bounds errors in LYSetHiText() and related functions,
which were found by valgrind -TD

zh_CN.po) from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* correct some mismatches between INSTALLATION and "configure --help" (prompted
by discussion with SC) -TD
* undef conflicting symbols "small" and FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST which are
misdefined in Cygwin's w32api headers (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD

content type (report by Carlton Anderson) -TD
* do not strip parameters from refresh-URL (report by Carlton Anderson gave an
example of their use) -TD
* correct logic for resetting count of leading/trailing spaces in S_litteral
case (report by TH) -TD
* remove obsolete XMOSAIC_HACK defines -TD
* adapted patch by Bjoern Jacke <bjoern@j3e.de> to ensure that toupper(),
tolower() and isupper() macros are interpreted in POSIX locale. This is
ifdef'd with EXP_ASCII_CTYPES -TD
* improve check for Unix-style shell given in $SHELL by limiting the check to
the base-name (discussion with GV, DK) -TD
* modify increment_tagged_htline() to reallocate its HTLine parameter if the
result would be larger than the allocation. This can happen when a large
textarea is adjusted (report by Thorsten Glaser) -TD
* add ifdef'd logic to change HTLine to calloc() rather than memory pools,
making it possible to use valgrind, etc., for debugging -LP
* modify version shown for SSL to be derived from runtime SSLeay_version()
function if linked with OpenSSL or SSLeay. Add corresponding definition
for GNU TLS (discussion by Frederic L W Meunier, GV) -TD
* add check for broken ProFTPD 1.2.5rc1, e.g., at ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub,
and force a reconnection if an error 550 is detected when doing RETR. This
is ifdef'd with BROKEN_PROFTPD and checks version (reports by GV, DK) -TD
* modify file-upload to not print a warning message if the form-field is empty
(Frank Heckenbach).
* add a few null-pointer checks to GridText.c (addresses symptoms reported by
Frederic L W Meunier when nested-tables are toggled off) -TD
* modify LYTrimNewline() to trim carriage-returns as well as line-feeds, making
it possible to share cookie files between platforms that have different
line-terminations (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* rename EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES ifdef to USE_PERSISTENT_COOKIES -TD
* rename EXP_READPROGRESS ifdef to USE_READPROGRESS -TD
* rename SOURCE_CACHE ifdef to USE_SOURCE_CACHE -TD
* change a few configure script defaults to "enable": source-cache, prettysrc
and read-eta. Also change default for read-eta configuration flag to "Show
KB/Sec" (requests by LP, Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* modify generated help_files.sed script to fix a couple of cases where the
intermediate result had more than 2 ".gz" substrings to reduce (reported by
IZ) -TD
* change configure script to compile-in file-upload by default, change its
corresponding ifdef to USE_FILE_UPLOAD -TD
* use EXEEXT, OBJEXT substitutions in makefile.in -TD
* update configure script check for getbegx(), etc -TD
* revert table-layout changes from 2.8.5dev.15/2.8.5dev.16 because of unresolved
issues -TD
* add configure option --with-bzlib -TD
* modify bzip2/zlib ifdef's to make them independent -TD
* implement support for bzip compression by internal calls to libbz2 -IZ
* make usage of EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT and EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT consistent
(report by LP) -TD
* if a document is in the cache (the rendering is in memory), on reload it
should not be cleared from the cache until the connection to the server is
opened; if the connection fails, the user will reuse the old version (request
by IZ) -LP
* for DJGPP, escape all backslashes in commands given to LYSystem() when
a Unix-style shell is given in $SHELL -DK, TD
* correct strings in LYOptions.c so ENABLE_LYNXRC works for bookmark_file
and run_all_execution_links -DK
* modify comparison in USE_CURSES_PAIR_0 ifdef of parse_attributes() to take
into account the mono-attributes as well. This fixes a case where a color
style might have the same color-attributes as the background, and would
incorrectly fall-through to use the mono-attributes (report by DK) -TD
* rewrote lynx_chg_color() to handle a COLORS value of 16 (report by TH) -TD
* redefine PDCurses' COLORS value to 16, since it incorrectly uses 8 -TD
* add -scrsize option and corresponding SCREEN_SIZE value to lynx.cfg to allow
lynx's screensize to be specified. To display background color properly,
this also requires a patch to PDCurses:
http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/~patakuti/tmp/lynx/PDCurses-2.5.patch.resize
This requires PDCurses 2.5 and higher -TH
* add a clean-rule to src/chrtrans/makefile.bcb -TD
* fix pathname generated for "View temporary file" in LYDownload.c using new
function LYAddPathToSave() (report by P.J.Walsh) -TD
* comment-out --enable-libjs option since it is not used -TD
* change code to match lynx.cfg description for FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT and
FORCE_SSL_PROMPT, making "prompt" rather than "default" the keyword to use
when telling lynx to prompt (report by DK) -TD
* really add FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg (report by DK) -TD
* change default of configure script options --enable-source-cache and
--enable-prettysrc to non-experimental to "yes", so they will normally
be compiled-in, but normally disabled in lynx.cfg (suggested by LP).
* modify configure script and related ifdef's to build with gnutls 0.8.9
(report by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
* modify ifdef's to use mkdtemp() if it is available (prompted by MirBSD
patch) -TD
* several fixes from (TG) (Thorsten Glaser - MirBSD):
+ workaround for invoking shell scripts when executable permissions are
discarded as a result from using CVS.
+ adjust buffer-size used in a readlink() call in case the result is too
long to include trailing null.
+ change default ftp mode to passive.
+ if ftp connection fails, automatically retry, switching between passive
and active modes. Do this retry switching only when connecting to a
different host. A new variable ftp_local_passive distinguishes this
from the user preference in ftp_passive.
+ improved certificate handling (case-insensitive domain-comparison, strip
port-numbers from comparison).
+ fix a few typos & compiler-warnings.
* add PT154 charset support. See
http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/PTCP154 for more information.
(patch by Timur Birsh <birsh@mail.kz>)
* integrate some improvements for configure script in CF_BUNDLED_INTL and
CF_OUR_MESSAGES from tin and dialog -TD
* remove #undef for UTF8 from UCMap.h, rename UTF8 variable, modify configure
check for slang to test-compile with with the Debian slang-utf8 package -TD
* modify configure script to not use "head -1", which does not work for some
platforms when POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set -TD
* fix configure script check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h> -TD
* modify an ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to allow compile with DJGPP -GV
* add docs/README.sslcerts (Stefan Caunter <cauntes@mail.mohawkc.on.ca>).
* modify LYLocalFileToURL() to allow for CurrentDir() returning a value that
does not begin with a slash, e.g., with DJGPP which returns a drive-letter
first -DK
* amend change in 2.8.5dev.15 to HTParse() to escape spaces, to exclude non-URL
strings such as absolute filenames (report by Patrick Ash) -TD
* modify LYParseTagParam() (added in 2.8.5dev.13) to not stop on ';' (fixes a bug
reported by LV which broke complicated refresh-URL containing "&") -TD
* change default start page to lynx.isc.org, since lynx.browser.org is not
maintained -TD
* modify HTML_start_element() to work with a case where there is an HREF
attribute without a value, fixes bug introduced after 2.8.5dev.9, e.g., for
X-URL: http://bankr.tsr.ru/tv-6.shtml
(also reported by Frederic L W Meunier for http://www.jacotei.com.br/) -LP
* correct construction of link to temporary filename in download options, did
not port to DOS-pathnames (report by LP) -TD
2003-06-01 (2.8.5dev.16)
* add zh_CN.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* updated obsolete link for nntp in users's guide -TD
* add F_FILE_TYPE to F_TEXTLIKE() macro, and use it consistently in a few more
places, making editing in filename fields consistent with other text input
fields -TD
* add LYAdjHiTextPos() to modify the behavior of color-style code, so leading
blanks are not highlighted (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* modify CacheThru_new() to accept "https:" URLs for source-caching (report
by Chuck Martin) -TD
* adapt some of the SH_EX ifdef'd features (TD):
+ add -delay option, to make progress messages slow, along with corresponding
code for lynx.cfg
+ show build date/time for systems that do not use a configure script.
+ use LYK_CHG_CENTER keycode bound to ^Q to control whether table cells are
centered. The command-line -center option also controls this behavior.
* add BIN_SUFFIX, TEXT_SUFFIX to userdefs.h -TD
* modify BeginInternalPage(), adding a doctype to generated internal pages
to allow validating them -TD
* modify HTFWriter.c to use binary suffix for any file with an application
presentation type, to better distinguish it from text and html. Use text
suffix for any "text/" file other than "text/html". These changes cover the
most common cases needed to make a link to view the temporary file useful in
the download page -TD
* modify LYdownload_options(), adding a link to view the temporary file if the
downloaded file is text or html -TD
* modify LYwouldPush(), omitting the download page from list of user-interface
pages which should not be pushed onto the history stack when visiting another
page, such as info or help. Otherwise the downloaded file is discarded
(report by BL) -TD
* simplify set_vi_keys() and related functions using table-driven
set_any_keys() and reset_any_keys() -TD
* HTAnchor_findAddress now returns HTParentAnchor, avoid casting -LP
* change select timeout in HTCheckForInterrupt() to zero, allowing immediate
return rather than waiting (DJGPP otherwise blocks for 50msec). For Unix
platforms, the DontCheck() function limits the amount of polling which
otherwise would be too much CPU usage -LP
* modify configure check for gcc -Winline warning to work around defect in
gcc 3.3 -TD
* fix bug introduced recently in forms-submitting for TEXTAREA; the "%0d%0a"
was put after each line rather than before, making the first and second lines
joined (report by LV) -TD
* reset the leading/trailing space counts in error-recovery logic added in
2.8.5dev.15 for S_litteral case in SGML_character(). Otherwise a mismatch,
e.g., due to a stray "<" or ">" in <script>...</script>, prevented a match
on the </script> -TD
* do not free adult_table[] atexit - it should be perfectly empty after
free'ing all HText's. (There is an error if it is not empty at exit) -LP
* unnamed child anchors (`children_notag' list) now use HText memory pool.
Links properly deleted when reparsing the document -LP
* Use less memory for documents with many anchors: most anchors are never
visited, just stored for the reference. So fill in adult_table[] with
HTParentAnchor0 (36 bytes size) instead of full HTParentAnchor (~200 bytes).
HTParentAnchor now allocated on demand, nearly 1:1 to HText. [more comments
in HTAnchor.h, changes located in HTAnchor.c] -LP
* HTParentAnchor0 stores its hash value, to avoid calling HASH_FUNCTION twice
on the same anchor (Re: HTAnchor_delete()) -LP
* fix a potential out-of-bounds bug in HTBEquivalent() -LP
* change strrchr() calls to strchr() in a few src/*.c file when parsing
"#fragment" left-to-right -LP
* modify HTFWriter_abort() to remove file on error -IZ
* added hot.paste style which puts a right-arrow at the UR corner (which is
currently unused). Clicking on it initiates a GOTO to the current selection
(same as PASTE_URL action). The hot.paste style is disabled unless STYLES
and CUT_AND_PASTE are both enabled. Disabled and the user defines hot.paste
in the ".lss" file -IZ
* modify LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c to allow pasting URLs of the form
<address> and "<URL:address>" to lynx. This is useful when it is not easy to
choose address without the surrounding "<>" or "<URL:>" -IZ
* make a minor memory saving (circa 15%) for table processing, improve yet
another case of "ladder" (as in the top of google results), and fixes one
case of "wrong indentation" (elements of a table which contained <center>
were made too wide) -IZ
* modify Stbl_trimFakeRows() to compensate for 2.8.5dev.15 changes to
Stbl_addRowToTable() from 2.8.5dev.15 which caches shrinking cell arrays in a
pool. It did not take into account reallocation of the same data, e.g., in
Stbl_reserveCellsInRow(). For example:
http://camden-sbc.rutgers.edu/FacultyStaff/Directory/default.htm
(report by Patrick Ash) -IZ
* add FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the
options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets
the user decide whether to ignore prompting for cookies with invalid syntax.
If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is displayed -TD
* add FORCE_SSL_PROMPT setting to lynx.cfg, allowing for manipulation in the
options menu and (if LYNXRC_ENABLE is set) via the .lynxrc file. This lets
the user decide whether to ignore prompting for questionable aspects of
an SSL connection. If the prompts are ignored, a corresponding message is
displayed -TD
* change select() calls to use the expected 1+descriptor value documented for
that function rather than FD_SETSIZE. It is possible that some very old
or unique platform would not work, but this is more efficient (discussion on
lynx-dev) -TD
* modify logic for S_litteral case in SGML_character() to recover from spaces
between the '<', '>' and the corresponding end of the tag, e.g.,
<style >
< style >
< style >
match "<style>", and
</style >
< /style >
< /style >
match "</style>" (report by TH) -TD
* correct a check in HText_trimHightext() for the last line of the display,
which left unhighlighted the portion of a multi-line anchor which fell in
that place (report by TH) -TD
* correct an off-by-one in redraw_lines_of_link() which left the link on the
last line on a page highlighted when moving the cursor up (reported by Morten
Bo Johansen) -TD
2003-04-27 (2.8.5dev.15)
* change definition of docdir1, helpdir1 to avoid using ksh-semantics (see
2.8.5dev.2) -TD
* update ja.po, uk.po, zh_TW.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* improve layout of TRSTable.c, reducing "laddering" effect, where cells in
different columns do not overlap by lines -IZ
* modify SGML_new() to allow display charset-switching when reloading a
document -IZ
* fix a buffer-size in LYK_PASTE_URL case in LYMainLoop.c -IZ
* various improvements to load-time for TRSTable.c -IZ
As a test:
<URL:ilyaz.org/software/tmp/table_2col_bold_it_500000.html.gz>.
This is a simple table with 2 columns, one with bold contents, another with
italic one. The total number of rows is 500K. With the patch and an
acceptable malloc(), lynx should use the working set of about 110M to show
the table. On my system with 128M memory, this leads to only 4M of the
process space swapped.
* add case LYK_TO_CLIPBOARD to HTCheckForInterrupt (not a good place), to allow
COPY command to work during download (copying the location to clipboard).
The best thing would be to get the location *after* redirects, but this will
require some additional work -IZ
* add popen-based support for cut/paste. This is a slightly reworked patch to
GNU readline. If RL_PASTE_CMD and RL_CLCOPY_CMD are defined in the
environment, lynx will use them as commands to do cut&paste. The simplest
such commands could just store/retrieve things from
/tmp/.clipboard_user-name; more advanced ones could use X clipboard -IZ
* modify yawerty_kb.h to map U+0411 and U+0431 to 'B' and 'W' positions
respectively. The map contained U+0412 and U+0432 at those positions,
which are duplicated at other positions -IZ
* fix HTLoadFinger() which was miscasting const data -TD
* update Subir Grewal's Lynx links URL to the newest location
http://www.subir.com/lynx.html -TD
* add configure option --with-gnutls, to allow lynx to be built with gnutls.
Used gnutls 0.8.6 on Redhat 8.0 to login at yahoo (gnutls is not very
portable, so this is an experimental option) -TD
* modify loop in HTInitProgramPaths() to convert enum ProgramPaths to an
integer, to accommodate HPUX 11.22 compiler (report by JES) -TD
* amend change in 2.8.5dev.13 to HTParse() to escape spaces, to exclude lynx's
internal URL types such as lynxprog (report by P.J.Walsh) -TD
* modified ifdef's to enable -connect_timeout option for DJGPP -GV
In particular, in LYUtils.c, undef "select" in case Lynx is compiled with
curses (and not S-Lang). Watt-32's select_s cannot be used on a
stdin handle, so one must undef it and use DJGPP's select().
* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to work with MingW and PDcurses -GV
* add version information for the macros in aclocal.m4 (request by Lars
Hecking) -TD
* modify file-upload to use actual binary-data rather than base64-format -TD
* generate unique boundary for multipart data in HText_SubmitForm() -TD
* reorganize HText_SubmitForm(), maintaining post data using bstring's -TD
* modify HText_SubmitForm() to add field name for the fake coordinate pair
when formatting a multipart submit (report by Peter Pilsl
<pilsl_@goldfisch.at>) -TD
* change post_data to a bstring; implement functions and macros for
manipulating bstring data. This allows post_data to maintain embedded nulls,
e.g., for file-upload -TD
* fix ifdef's for <ncursesw/term.h> -TD
* fixes for file upload -IZ
+ modify logic for headers use write them even if MultipartContentType was
not set.
+ change logic for base64 to be used ONLY if \0 was found.
If a "strange" char is found, only change "text/plain" to
"application/octet-stream".
* change a couple of _user_message() calls to HTUserMsg2() calls so their
content is saved in the "Messages" buffer -IZ, TD
* undo 2002-11-11 SGMLFindTag optimization (problem with color styles,
reported by IZ). Optimize the function by storing the previously found tags.
Also use my_casecomp() to decrease AS_casecomp() calls by testing the
first character manually -LP
* optimize HTStyle comparison: just compare numbers from enum.
It was previously implemented as a strcmp comparison with a fixed string.
Used in a very inner loop, in HTML_put_character() -LP
* LYEnsureAbsoluteURL() now absorbs LYFillLocalFileURL() call -LP
* optimize LYLegitimizeHREF() -LP
* in HTML.c, revise href resolving logic. HTAnchor_findChildAndLink now
resolves href with respect to BASE internally; HTParse incorporates
LYFillLocalFileURL call (after the parsing, and only when the related string
is not empty and parse includes access, host, path and punctuation). This
removes all LYFillLocalFileURL and most HTParse calls from HTML.c and makes
code more consistent. (Previously, functions were called in a different order
for document with/without BASE, which had the side effect in some cases,
e.g., href="c:" on a DOS machine was resolved properly with _any_ base, and
badly broken without:) -LP
* add/use HTParseALL macro to simplify coding -LP
* revise "internal links" logic (read KW 1997-11-03 notes, before v2.8).
In HTML.c and HTAnchor.c, internal links code affects only parent lookup
in the adults table (more correct in case of post data), now a mainline:
we omit "#ifndef DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS" condition in the two files.
In HTML.c, avoid using internal links for unrelated `src=' attributes
(BGSOUND_SRC, FRAME_SRC, IFRAME_SRC, OVERLAY_SRC, EMBED_SRC links:) -LP
* refine HTAnchor_delete() vs deleteLinks() mutual recursion logic - LP
* change ALIGN_SIZE in GridText.c to sizeof(double), which is probably more
portable than "8" -LP
* modify a syslog() call to guard against possible '%' in its parameter -TD
* remove extra quotes from calling HTMake822Word() for form boundary names
(addresses bug report for fastmail.fm by P.J.Walsh) -TD
2003-02-04 (2.8.5dev.14)
* correct a missing ">" at the beginning of page sent as response to mailto -TD
* simplify (clarify) anchor structure: links now moved from HTAnchor to
HTChildAnchor (the only place they were used). By this we avoid unneeded
casting in calls to HTAnchor_followMainLink, HTAnchor_followTypedLink,
deleteLinks. [GridText.c, HTML.c, LYList.c, HTAnchor.c] -LP
* as of 1998-11-21 "workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML
document with the same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW",
along with skipping HTAnchor_link() call in this case now, we realize that
HTChildAnchor may have only a single link. (Previously implemented by
mainLink and links list). This simplifies HTAnchor.c -LP
* simplify HTChunk.c -LP
* optimize LYRemoveNewlines() and LYRemoveBlanks() -LP
* check for no common name (CN) in certificate when connecting via SSL, fixes
a SIGSEGV with
https://web-shokai.tokyo-denwa.net/
(patch by Hataguchi Takeshi)
* add uk.po (Ukrainian) from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* modify HTList_linkObject to avoid an infinite loop in HTList_unlinkObject due
to relinking some node several times, corrupting the previous list chain -LP
* increase ATEXITSIZE to 50, 40 was not enough -TD
* ifdef-out call to Cygwin_Shell() in LYMainLoop.c, which does not work
properly for some environments (report by Corinna Vinschen
<vinschen@redhat.com>, forwarded by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* correct a bug in HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() introduced in 2.8.5dev.13 handling
USEMAP, e.g.,
http://www.sendas-delivery.com.br/topo_sendas.asp
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -LP
* minor fixes for K&R compiler on SunOS: prototype of HTDOS_slashes(),
definition of LYLeakSequence -TD
2003-01-22 (2.8.5dev.13)
* change new memory-allocation in HTString.c and GridText.c to provide pointers
to data aligned to the host's pointer-size, to work on Tru64 where this
happens to be 8 -TD
* resync ".po" files using msgmerge -TD
* remove quadratic complexity from insert_blanks_in_line() usage with large
tables (Stbl). It occasionally cleans up split_line() a bit. CPU load
anomaly reported by BL -LP
* ALLOC_IN_POOL, POOL_NEW, POOL_FREE macros now became functions, suggested by
BL -LP
* define HAVE_ALLOCA for djgpp fixed-configuration -LP
* add command-line option (--nested-tables) to help in testing this feature -TD
* add command-line option (--find-leaks) to disable the memory leak checking
code, allowing one to build an executable which is useful for both normal
and leak-checking (request by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* improve performance of HTParse() for very long strings -LP
* fix memory leak in HTFileSaveStream() -LP
* further optimization in HTAnchor.c - save 3 mallocs per HTChildAnchor by
using new HTList_ functions: HTList_linkObject(), HTList_unlinkObject(),
HTList_unlinkLastObject() which utilize external memory, no malloc/free -LP
* modify "make install-help" rule to avoid warning message about keystrokes
subdirectory (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
* optimize !HText_TrueLineSize() expressions as HText_TrueEmptyLine() -LP
* optimize is_url(), rewriting it as case-statements to avoid unnecessary
comparisons, make similar optimization in HTParse() -LP, TD
* corrected logic in is_url() where the "://" was not necessarily checked in
the proper position - TD
* for color-style configuration, add a link to lynx.lss from LYNXCFG: -TD
* simplify setup of internal pages with new function InternalPageFP() -TD
* modify parsing of refresh-URL to strip single quotes, to handle
http://tovar.yandex.ru/
(reported by LP) -TD
* investigated conflict between NSL_FORK and _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef's for Cygwin
configuration in HTTCP.c; left them as-is since #undef'ing _WINDOWS_NSL in
that case causes problems connecting (feedback by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* corrected an off-by-one error in computing the location of the bottom line
for mouse input in PDCurses configuration which made that area ignore mouse
clicks. Merged almost-identical cases for mouse-input for NT/Windows95 -TD
* ifdef'd out (USE_CURSES_PAIR_0) the ASSUMED_COLORS logic for the PDCurses
configuration (reports by DK) -TD
* LYSetHiText(), LYAddHiText(), and LYClearHiText() use HText memory pool -TD
* add atexit-cleanup for history stack, removed incomplete code for this from
cleanup(), since that gave misleading results in leak-checking. Fix a few
small leaks as well (reported by LP) -TD
* modify cleanup() to leave the trace file open if checking for leaks -TD
* add some simple statistics to summary in Lynx.leaks report -TD
* add malloc-sequence number to Lynx.leaks report, to help with debugging -TD
* fix memory leaks in nested-tables logic, which did not free subtable data
if there was an enclosing table (reports by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* adapted change by LP to allocate HTLine's from memory pool -TD
* move fallback definition of MAXHOSTNAMELEN from HTFTP.c to www_tcp.h so it
can be used in HTTCP.c (Debian #140682) -TD
* improved configure script checks for ncurses -TD
* correct description of XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND in lynx.cfg (report by Mats
Peterson <mats@alicja.dyns.cx>) -TD
* fix configure script so it does not compute basename of system mailer when
none was found. Add check in LYMail.c, LYPrint.c to avoid using system
mailer when it is not configured (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* update several po files (da.po, de.po, et.po, hu.po, sv.po, tr.po) from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
* correct logic in recent HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() changes around internal
links and fragments; avoid unneeded reallocations by using HTParseAnchor()
instead of HTParse() -LP
* trim some fat from HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A -LP
* add optimized string functions StrAllocCopy_extra() [and paired FREE_extra()]
which store string size and never shrink; for heavily reallocated strings in
temp objects. Used in SGML.c for value[] fields currently -LP
* in HTUtils.h, FREE macro was unsafe if happen before 'else' -LP
* modify HTParse() to escape any spaces which remain from LYLegitimizeHREF() or
other sources (report by Peter Rasmussen <plr@udgaard.com>) -TD
2002-12-18 (2.8.5dev.12)
* remove a check in LYMain.c for Cygwin's console, which does not work with
screen (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* undo line/pool logic, fixing a memory leak -LP
* changes proposed by Bela Lubkin, to optimize ALLOC_IN_POOL macro
substitution, pack bitfields in HTStyleChanges to make them more compact on
some systems -LP
* correct logic of do_check_recall(), broken in 2.8.5dev.9 cleanup of pathname
constants with LYIsDosDrive() (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* update makelynx.bat, built with slang configuration -TD
* turn on file-upload in makefile.msc -TD
2002-12-01 (2.8.5dev.11)
* fix a typo in changelog date -TD
* add project version & date to lynx.cfg -TD
* document xxx_PATH variables in lynx.cfg -TD
2002-11-11 (2.8.5dev.10)
* modify file-upload to provide content-type based on file-suffix. This is
needed to validate local html files with current the W3C validation service
webpage -TD
* modify file-upload to warn but permit the filename or file contents to be
missing (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD
* workaround for compiler bug in fix_httplike_urls() -BL
* change enumShowColor so SHOW_COLOR_NEVER is zero as in 2.8.3, which makes the
result from LYChoosePopup() match the enum values. This fixes a bug which
would make the slang configuration toggle back to color when accepting an
options screen (report by Sean McGuire <smcguire@soc.lib.md.us> and Carlton
Anderson) -TD
* add a null-pointer check in content_is_compressed() -TD
* in partial mode, load document with #fragment on the fly. Long awaited fix.
LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() now returns BOOL -LP
* calculate WWW_SOURCE once, it is now a constant, not a define -LP
* use malloc instead of calloc in several places, particularly in HTList
operations (each field initialized explicitly) -LP
* fix a few typos in samples/mailcap (Carlton Anderson
<canderson1776@yahoo.com>).
* ifdef'd default_fg and default_bg for PDCURSES to be 15, since that agrees
with lynx's use of color names, and works around a bug exposed by the
ASSUMED_COLORS change from 2.8.5dev.9 (report by DK) -TD
* simplify pretty-source code in SGML.c using PUTS(), put_pretty_entity() and
put_pretty_number() -TD
* refine S_attr test in SGML.c to make pretty-source code handle the case where
a blank precedes the '='. The misplaced markers made lynx omit newlines from
the pretty-source view (report by LP) -TD
* rewrote HTStat() to ensure that it does stat() for files on Windows -TD
* HTTCP.c patch to make DJGPP/Watt-32 non-blocking connect in HTDoConnect().
This allows pressing 'z' to abort connections. Removed extra _HTProgress()
for INET6; it overwrote previous progress message -GV, DK
* in SGML.c, element stack now use a pool of 10 elements to avoid most of
malloc/free calls -LP
* in HTParse(), use single alloca instead of three malloc/free pairs -LP
* in HTParse.c, avoid most strcasecomp calls in scan() - LP
* modify GridText.c to store lines, anchors, and forms in the same HText memory
pool as styles. This will optimize memory allocation/deallocation by 8Kb
units. The down side: lines in TRST mode will be stored twice. Some
structs are made a bit more compact -LP
* add DJGPP to SINGLE_USER_UNIX special cases -DK
* modify configure script to not strip the -g option from $CFLAGS if it was
present in the user's environment rather than autoconf adding it (report by
DK) -TD
* add --with-curses-dir configure script option -TD
* in SGMLFindTag, we translate string uppercase in-place and launch case
insensitive search, add SGMLFindUprTag() to cover the cases where the string
is readonly - LP, TD
* DJGPP build restored. MV_PATH was undefined long ago by mistake. Fix recent
DJGPP changes in HTTCP.c: move _resolve_hook few lines below, it will not
compile otherwise. Remove minor warnings -LP
* optimize parsing html with many relative links, href="#fragment" -
HTAnchor_findChildAndLink() and HTML_start_element(), case HTML_A: now avoid
significant overhead when link == HTInternalLink (e.g., resolving against
base, lots of reallocations, parent lookup, etc., all are useless). Two
functions affected. [HTAnchor.c, HTML.c]. The code works both with and
without DONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS symbol -LP
* optimize parsing of large html files - with thousands of anchors - LP
+ remove quadratic complexity from split_line() usage [GridText.c].
Because of some work with anchors on the last(=split) line,
the anchors list was traversed from the beginning for each output line.
Now we store last_anchor_before_split explicitly.
[According to gprof, split_line() weight decreased from 33% down to 4%,
with the following test file: 13,000 output lines, 3,100 anchors, ~800Kb]
+ remove quadratic complexity from HTAnchor_findChild() usage [HTAnchor.c].
HTParentAnchor::children list was traversed zillion times, now we
split it into a tree (named anchors <a name=...>, fast search required)
and a list (just a storage for the rest anchors, no search required).
[The same file, gprof shows HTAnchor_findChild() weight decreased
from 11% down to 0.1%]
+ remove quadratic complexity when generating a 'l'ist page,
now traverse anchors list only once [LYList.c, GridText.c].
* add a search method to HTBTree implementation - LP
* amend check for refresh-URL to avoid adding a link if the retrieved page is
compressed, since the link would be added to the compressed file, corrupting
it (reported by Michel SUCH and Karl-Heinz Weirich <weirich@de.ibm.com>) -TD
* strip parameters from refresh-URL -TD
* correct misspelled $LYNX_LOCALEDIR variable in LYMain.c (reported by Michel
Such) -TD
* change the install procedure for lynx.cfg to attempt to update the file with
the user's customizations if any, and to save the old configuration
information in a series, e.g., lynx.cfg-1, lynx.cfg-2, etc. -TD
* re-fix the problem with config.cache not being removed at the beginning of
the configure script - see 2.8.5dev.3 (report by Clemens Fisher) -TD
2002-10-06 (2.8.5dev.9)
* improve ETA data shown in experimental read-progress (adapted from Debian
#117476) -TD
* modify -dump, -source and related options which set dump mode to also set
-nopause (report by Benjamin Pflugmann <benjamin-mutt@pflugmann.de>) -TD
* correct indexing in LYStyle.c our_pairs[] array, which did not allow for use
of default colors -TD
* make ASSUMED_COLORS in lynx.cfg apply to normal curses implementations which
do not implement assume_default_colors() (prompted by discussion with
Bela Lubkin) -TD
* make permanent an ifdef from SH which provides for truncating a too-long
title with an ellipsis -HN
* gettext'ify a few overlooked strings in LYOptions.c -HN
* modify LYGetHostByName() for MSDOS/DJGPP/Watt-32 to enable terminating it by
pressing 'z' (patch by Gisle Vanem)
* update configure script macros for NLS to gettext 0.10.40 -TD
* add PRCS version/date to lynx.cfg -TD
* setup ifdef's for Unix-specific permissions checks to exclude single-user
systems such as OS/2 EMX, Cygwin and BeOS, which otherwise act like Unix
since we can run the configure script on those platforms -TD
* re-order some tests in the configure script to allow pdcurses' X11 port to
be recognized as supporting color and line-drawing characters -TD
* work around a Cygwin bug which causes subprocesses of a full-screen program
to dump core (perhaps reported by Frederic L W Meunier, but observed in
running lynx in a bash shell spawned from my directory editor) -TD
* fix an inequality in HTDirTitles() which made the "Up to" link omitted for
the first level of an ftp listing, making it awkward to visit the parent
directory if one first visited a subdirectory -TD
* change HTURLPath_toFile() to keep local URLs distinct from remote ones, so
win32 version will not display misleading drive letter on ftp listings -TD
* rewrote Home_Dir(), adding checks for "My Documents" on Windows 2000, and
ensuring that the resulting directory actually exists -TD
* change ifdef's in LYwaddnstr() to use waddstr() consistently, since
wide-character curses implementation treat the string in the given locale
anyway, just like the waddnwstr() call -TD
* reduce clutter with new macro LYIsDosDrive() -TD
* add ifdef's for OS/2 EMX to existing DOSPATH code which checks for drive
letter (Michel Such)
* modify definitions of IsOurFile() and OpenHiddenFile() to allow trace file
to be written when one already exists -TD
* use new macros LYSameFilename(), LYSameHostname(), LYIsNullDevice() to hide
platform-specific filename comparisons -TD
* change sed delimiter in configure script to use '%' consistently, to avoid
using '@', which may appear in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
* narrowed accommodation for paths with embedded blanks in LYLegitimizeHREF()
to exclude those containing newlines or tabs (report by Leslie Fairall for
http://www.realtor.com) -TD
* modified VMS build scripts to allow linking with OpenSSL, tested with
OpenSSL-0.9.6g using UCX network libraries. It is reported (by
<grant@rigel.cc.wmich.edu>) that one can modify the scripts to also build
with Multinet's UCX emulation, but the machine I used for testing has only
UCX (comp.os.vms discussion with Christoph Gartmann
<gartmann@immunbio.mpg.de>) -TD
* modify UCSetBoxChars() to assume wide-character curses implementations can
draw boxes -TD
* reduce the number of strncasecomp() calls with associated constants by making
macros for the lynx internal URL types, e.g., isLYNXCGI() -TD
* modify logic that handles goto-fragment (e.g., G #foo) to update the URL
shown in the info page (Debian #113734) -TD
* reduce clutter using new macros findPoundSelector(),
restorePoundSelector() and function trimPoundSelector() -TD
* reduce clutter using functions for updating the strings in DocInfo, mainly in
LYMainLoop.c -TD
* renamed 'document' to 'DocInfo' -TD
* reduce clutter by using NonNull() macro consistently -TD
* define HistInfo struct in terms of document, to make it clearer -TD
* add verification of SSL server certificates. It requires a "cert.pem" file
or cert files in the "certs" subdirectory in your OpenSSL directory for CA
verification. The mod_ssl distribution includes a "ca-bundle.crt" that has a
good set of root certifying authority certs and works well for "cert.pem".
Adding custom CA root certs can be done by either putting them in the server
"cert.pem", or (for a normal user) copying "cert.pem", adding the cert, and
setting the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable before running Lynx (Chris
Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net>).
* add REPLAYSECS config value to allow slowing command scripts down, for
testing -TD
* implement a "set" command for command-scripts, allowing the script writer
to manipulate the sleep-times for messages (prompted by discussion with
Ville Herva) -TD
* implement an "exit" command for command-scripts (Ville Herva)
* modify logic for -cmd_script to stop reading from the command script when
an end-of-file is detected (patch by Ville Herva <vherva@niksula.hut.fi>).
* fill in a few descriptions of restrictions for the help message, as well
as showing the on/off state of the "goto_xxx" restrictions -TD
* correct inverted logic of restrictions table which made "-restrict=default"
provide incorrect values for several items. This was broken in 2.8.4dev.19
(reported by Jeff Long <long@ukans.edu> and RobertM <robm@bob.bofh.org>) -TD
* add environment variable LYNX_TRACE_FILE which, if given, overrides the
compiled-in value of Lynx.trace (or LY-TRACE.LOG). This specifies the
name of the trace file relative to the home directory -TD
* treat empty string for most environment variables, e.g., those specifying
a pathname, as null -TD
* add environment variable LYNX_LOCALEDIR to simplify configuration on OS/2
EMX (from discussion with Michel Such) -TD
* add alias for charsets "ISO-8859-8-I" and "ISO-8859-8-E" to "iso-8859-8"
(Debian #152441, request by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
* modify handling of HTML_SUP to always append '^'. It was checking if the
preceding character was a valid hexadecimal code (reported by HN and Steve
White <swhite@zipcon.net>) -TD
* correct check for calling endwin() to allow for curses implementations
without newterm (report/patch by Brett Lymn).
* add koi8-r.html as a test for non-ANSI 8-bit displays -TD
* construct "Accept-Encoding" gzip/compress parameters based on whether lynx is
built with zlib and/or gzip/compress paths are defined. The latter is
assumed on Unix (by the configure script), though non-Unix environments may
lack those utilities (report by Roy Langford <rlnopicnodl@geeklife.com>,
analysis by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* modify mouse support in slang configuration (Eduardo Chappa):
+ Middle button takes you to the bookmarks file.
+ Clicking on empty parts of the screen makes the screen scroll. This is
not 100% true, here are the caveats related to this:
+ When you click in the first line of the screen pine goes back one screen,
the same happens when you click in the last line (this is normal Lynx
behavior, I did nothing in this respect). With this patch, intermediate
scrolling is enabled, which means that left clicking in different (empty
parts) of the screen may move you half a screen or two lines. The idea
is that close to the top you scroll more, close to the center you scroll
less and you scroll in the direction up or down according to which half
of the screen you click on.
+ If you click on an empty part of the screen, Lynx changed its behavior
from doing nothing to moving the active link to the closest link near the
click. This is not disabled by this patch, instead, if a closest link is
not found, the screen will scroll, according to the position of the link.
* improve check in LYgetEnum() for ambiguous/abbreviated names in the lynx.cfg
file, e.g., to match the string "visited_links=first" without confusing it
with "visited_links=first_reversed" (report by vortex5 <vortex5@24i.net>,
analysis by TH) -TD
* use StrAllocCopy() rather than strdup() in parse_style() (LYStyle.c) to
avoid false report from leak-checking (from report by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
* share SSL handle between HTTP.c and HTAAUtil.c so that call of
HTAA_shouldRetryWithAuth() from HTLoadHTTP() updates the handle used in that
function. This makes lynx able to get the user/password prompt for
https://enter.nifty.com/iw/ -TH
* fix a highlighting problem in view-source mode, which left the final
character of the target unhighlighted -TH
* modify LYStringToKeycode(), which is used by -cmd_script option to decode
characters, to handle hexadecimal codes written with -cmd_log option from
2.8.5dev.8 changes (reported by Gleb V Kotelnitskyy <kiz@pth.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua>) -TD
* modify ifdef's in LYCurses.h to implement underline-links for slang
configuration (report by TH) -TD
* modify checks with WEXITSTATUS() and similar "result" macros to ensure that
they consistently use corresponding "test" macros such as WIFEXITED() -TD
* add a null-pointer check in GridText.c to cover a problem with
http://209.1.58.86/store/
(reported by Walter Ian Kaye) -TD
* add some more CTRACE's to LYCookie.c to help diagnose LV problem report -TD
* updated nl.po (patch by Pieter-Paul Spiertz <pspiertz@sci.kun.nl>) -JES
* new (cs.po, hu.po, tr.po) and updated (da.po, et.po, it.po, ru.po, sv.po) po
files from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/, used msgmerge
to align with 2.8.4's lynx.pot and corrected some minor issues highlighted by
check_po. Checking for a newer version of check_po (to handle patterns
such as "%1$s") found none, but noticed a comment in gettext mailing list
stating that msgfmt does checking. Comparing with "msgfmt -c -v", found
that it does useful checks, but misses about 1/4 of what check_po finds.
Will use both -TD
* escape blanks and other non-7bit graphic characters in startfile and similar
addresses to guard against interpreting the address as multiple lines
during a GET, etc (report by Ulf Harnhammar <ulfh@Update.UU.SE>) -TD
2002-05-28 (2.8.5dev.8)
* updated makelynx.bat (Victor Schneider).
* recognize charset value in meta description even if content-type is not
given, in LYHandleMETA() -VH
* remove ifdef that disabled home/end keys with Cygwin configuration -DK
* fix a problem when whereis target string, which includes Japanese and is top
of the second line in the link string, is in the current link (patch by
Hataguchi Takeshi).
* fix a problem with highlighting Japanese string (patch by Hataguchi Takeshi).
* modify LYDownload() to ensure that local addresses under DJGPP using the
special form of path beginning "/dev/" are passed to external programs
without stripping the initial slash from the path. This special form of path
will be understood only by other DJGPP programs. Addresses of the form
"/dev/x/" are equivalent to the DOS path "x:\". Addresses of the form
"/dev/env/VARI" are equivalent to the environment variable "VARI" -DK
* modify remove_bookmark_link() to assume that OS/2 EMX does not allow rename
of a file overwriting an existing one -IZ
* recognize local .php files as HTML files (patch by Karl Eichwalder
<ke@suse.de>).
* change LYCurses.c to not redefine gettext(), and use ScreenClear() instead
of clrscr() for DJGPP -DK
* the DJGPP port of Lynx once used to compile with DJ Delorie's tcp/ip library.
It is no longer the case; Watt-32 is required. Changed to assume WATT32 is
defined when DJGPP (or __DJGPP__) is defined (patch by Gisle Vanem).
* change LYKeycodeToString() to provide a default translation for characters
which are not key-symbols, etc., so they may be used in command scripts
with the -cmd_script option (reported by Christoph Fabianek) -TD
* new po files (ca.po, et.po, it.po, zh_TW.po) and updated de.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/, used msgmerge to align
with 2.8.4's lynx.pot and corrected some minor issues highlighted by
check_po script by Stefan Hundhammer <sh@suse.de> -TD
* some cleanup/restructuring of HText_SubmitForm(), incomplete - toward
implementing correct MIME boundary -TD
* revalidate user's guide and related files using W3C validator via file-upload
facility -TD
* simplify some loops in GridText.c using new function next_anchor() -TD
* quote field-names used when submitting form-data as suggested in RFC 2068
(report by Lieven Tomme <lieven@itopia.com>) -TD
* remove configure-check for mkstemp(), which is redundant given that lynx
writes temporary files in a directory which is not readable by other users.
On more than one system (e.g., Solaris), mkstemp() is not usable in the
manner we attempted, since it does not necessarily choose a distinct name if
the previously-chosen filename no longer exists (report/analysis by PG) -TD
* correct a typo in configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH which told the script to
look for header files in the user's $HOME/lib rather than $HOME/include
directory -TD
* update config.guess, config.sub -TD
* add check for HTTP headers using Netscape extension "Refresh", and if found,
add a corresponding refresh-URL at the beginning of the document. Fixes
Debian #126723 -TD
* strip username from URLs used in an HTTP GET, and warn about this condition.
The example given was
"http://www.microsoft.com&item%3dq209354@212.254.206.213/1338825GHU_98.asp"
the text of which could mislead a user into believe it was an official site
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* add limit checks in HText_trimHightext() to fix an infinite loop visiting
this site (which contains a form with only hidden input fields):
1- http://www.ibazar.com.br/
2- Click "Cadastro" and accept all cookies
3- Click "[accepte.gif]"
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
2002-01-06 (2.8.5dev.7)
* ifdef'd new directory-sorting code to compile when configure --disable-dired
is specified -TD
* add (commented-out) definitions for building with OpenSSL in makefile.msc,
tested with OpenSSL 0.9.6c and Visual C++ 5.0 -TD
* correct call to HTGetLinkInfo() in follow_link_number() from 2.8.5dev.6
changes to fix uninitialized pointer (report by PW) -TD
2002-01-01 (2.8.5dev.6)
* add configure options to link with dbmalloc and dmalloc debugging libraries
which offer different features than --enable-find-leaks -TD
* restructured LYhighlight() and logic related to highlighted text using new
functions LYSetHilite(), LYAddHilite(), LYGetHiliteStr() and LYGetHilitePos()
to allow more than two lines to be highlighted in links (Debian #114062) -TD
* simplified some of LYCookie.c with new functions find_domain_entry(),
alloc_attr_value() and parse_attribute() -TD
* modify expansion of %s for WIN_EX EXTERN commands so that short names (used
when the command begins with an uppercase character) are not quoted, and use
backslashes. The normal %s expansion uses forward slashes and may quote the
name if it contains a blank -TD
* modify local directory sort by type to ignore leading '.' characters when
looking for filetype -TD
* modify logic of HTDirEntry() to avoid storing a trailing backslash (DOS-style
path separator) in the anchor URL for local directory entries (from report
by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* amend change in 2.8.5dev.2 to HTLoadHTTP() to omit "Accept-Encoding: gzip"
ensuring that also -source or -dump option is used. Retesting excite.com
shows that it no longer matters, since the page was replaced by a short
javascript which is not sent compressed (request by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* correct a missing definition for COMPRESS_PROG in the configure script
introduced by 2.8.5dev.5 changes (also noted by Stepan Kasal) -TD
* several fixes from Stepan Kasal <kasal@math.cas.cz>:
+ remove code in LYCurses.c which checks ttytype variable for "dec-vt"
prefix. EWAN, a decent telnet program for M$ Windows, sets $TERM to
dec-vt100. This is similar to vt102 but it is not appropriate to use vt100
settings for it. ncurses has in its terminfo database an entry for
"dec-vt100|EWAN telnet's terminal"
The terminfo file is successfully opened when ncurses is initialised and
ttytype is set to the name mentioned above. After stripping "dec-" from
it, lynx ends up searching for
"/usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100|EWAN telnet's terminal"
which cannot cannot be found and lynx crashes.
+ compress installed html files with the -9 option of gzip.
+ improved install-help makefile rule
* fix some longstanding problems with the DOS port -DK
+ fix inability to break out of a hung nameserver lookup or hung connection
attempt without aborting lynx entirely. Using the WATT-32 signal handler
for this seems to work well. Change the default compile option for DJGPP
to -DIGNORE_CTRL_C, causing lynx to ignore SIGINT, so CTRL-BREAK is
completely disabled. With this patch CTRL-C stops current actions without
quitting lynx. To have a way to abort lynx when necessary, bind ALT-X to
SIGQUIT. (The unix default of CTRL-\ is not bound to the same scan code on
different international keyboards, while ALT-X is familiar to DOS users for
existing programs). Because the WATT-32 signal handler was not available
to external programs, a patch to WATT-32 is necessary for the new lynx code
to work. The patch for WATT-32 is shown in the INSTALLATION documentation.
+ added some fixes for "/" vs "\" handling in pathnames so that non-DJGPP
programs will see standard DOS pathnames when called. The mailer code was
ignoring the environment variable SHELL when calling the mailer, leading to
a lack of environment space for the mailer to work -DK
+ add calls to _eth_release() and _eth_init(), which Gisle Vanem says should
not be necessary in this part of lynx. But this seems to fix get
intermittent hung nameserver lookup sessions after using CTRL-C.
* simplified a loop in HTConfirmCookie() and added CTRACE's to demonstrate that
this is working properly (addresses Debian #119751) -TD
* add some CTRACE's to curses screen initialization and resizing to provide
better diagnosis of problem reported by David Balazic
<david.balazic@uni-mb.si> on HP-UX 11.00) -PG
* modify configure.in and aclocal.m4 to work with autoconf 2.52 patched with
ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/autoconf/autoconf-2.52-20011227.patch.gz
(TD).
* modify configure macros CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS to ensure
that the (n)curses.h header file is actually found, in case someone tries to
build lynx without having installed the development files (based on anonymous
posting on comp.os.linux.networking newsgroup) -TD
* update config.guess, config.sub from
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
2001-11-18 (2.8.5dev.5)
* modify prompt for file- or directory-name in rename/move operation to provide
a default based on the selected file/directory -TD
* add -DOK_OVERRIDE to makefile.msc, to allow rename/move of files in the local
directory editor -TD
* correct delay time for win32's HTAlert, etc., which was in milliseconds
rather than seconds -TD
* modify check for mbstate_t in CF_WIDEC_CURSES to define HAVE_MBSTATE_T if
that type is found, use this ifdef in LYwaddnstr() to make that compile
properly on Solaris 2.6 (report by PG) -TD
* disable SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT ifdef for EBCDIC (i.e., NOT_ASCII) -PG
* collect names of lynx.cfg and .lynxrc variables into LYrcFile.h, to simplify
checks for matching spelling, e.g., against the values used in
LYOptions.c -TD
* modify dired support to allow sorting by a variety of things in addition to
the existing sort into files versus directories. This is saved in ~/lynxrc
as dir_sort_order -TD
* if --disable-full-paths is specified, do not use full path for SYSTEM_MAIL
(report by IZ) -TD
* modify configure script to reduce the number of xxx_PATH definitions compiled
into the code if --disable-dired was specified. Change configure script so
that dired support for chmod, copy, mkdir, and touch to use built-in
functions rather than external programs -TD
* modify configure script tests for program pathnames so that if full pathnames
are specified and the program is not found, no corresponding xxx_PATH symbol
is defined -TD
* eliminate duplicate LYGetEnum() in LYrcFile.c, using the variant from
LYReadCFG.c which allows abbreviations -TD
* change handling of tagsoup option in LYrcFile.c to invoke the corresponding
HTSwitchDTD() function, so saved tagsoup initializes properly from ~/.lynxrc
(report by Michel Such) -TD
* modify some tag-names in LYOptions.c to correspond to the names used in
lynx.cfg to make the corresponding names work properly when used in ~/.lynxrc
via ENABLE_LYNXRC settings (report by Michel Such) -TD
old new
----------------------------
assume_char_set -> assume_charset
show_scrollbar -> scrollbar
DTD_recovery -> tagsoup
show_rate -> show_kb_rate

----------------------------
* correct length passed by LYpaddstr() to LYwaddnstr(), which could be larger
than allowed -TD
2001-11-08 (2.8.5dev.4)
* if file-upload code is configured, suppress message that indicates it is not
implemented, i.e., "[FILE Input] (not implemented)" -TD
* modify file-upload submission to send plain text if the file is entirely
printable text. Mime encoding is needed if the file contains nulls, etc.,
but reportedly may confuse some hosts -TD
* suppress "charset=" clause on form submission if it is iso-8859-1 -TD
* move case for F_FILE_TYPE in HText_SubmitForm() to obtain original behavior
of fallthrough for F_SUBMIT_TYPE, F_TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE, F_IMAGE_SUBMIT_TYPE to
translate their character set, etc. (report by KW) -TD
* revert 2.8.4dev.21 change to avoid truncating cookie path in LYSetCookie().
The server that wouldn't work with the current lynx behavior is
identified as "Oracle_Web_Listener/4.0.8.2.3EnterpriseEdition" -DK
* modify LYLegitimizeHREF() change from 2.8.4dev.21 to eliminate newlines from
the HREF rather than converting them to spaces. This fixes a problem with
www.ebay.com which splits up HREFs with newlines. Changing the newlines to
spaces made the HREF no longer match, e.g., when it was built up from
a CGI script (report by Morten Bo Johansen) -TD
* add two test files for testing UTF-8, based on Markus Kuhn's demos
(quickbrown.html and utf-8-demo.html). These work with ncurses 20011103
patch, for wide-characters except for combining characters (more work is
needed in ncurses). Tested with XFree86 xterm (patch #163) -TD
* modify select_multi_bookmarks() check for interrupt character to limit it to
"hard" interrupt characters such as ^G. This fixes a case where "z" would
have been treated as an interrupt character in advanced multibookmark mode
(reports by Michael Warner, HN, as well as Debian #111463) -TD
* modify SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT logic in LYUpperCase() and LYLowerCase() to
check for a null character following an upper-128 code. This is more likely
to occur in EBCDIC, though the multibyte strings should not have a null at
this position in any case (report by PG) -TD
* for wide-character curses configuration, do not force repainting at the end
of display_page() -TD
* modify configure test for mkstemp() to check if that function returns
distinct values (report by Fr3dY indicates that AmigaOS has a broken version
of mkstemp() which always returns the same value) -TD
* modify LYwaddstr() to use wide-character curses functions to make UTF-8
output work without relying upon side-effects of narrow-character functions.
Note that this relies on the user having set a UTF-8 locale, e.g.,
en_US.UTF-8 -TD
* modify HText_appendCharacter() to not use utfxtra_on_this_line when compiling
with WIDEC_CURSES, since the curses library already does this adjustment -TD
* correct the following names in LYrcFile.c which were added to allow
ENABLE_LYNXRC lines in lynx.cfg to enable them to be saved in ~/.lynxrc
old new where-used
-------------------------------------
DTD_recovery tagsoup (command-line option and lynx.cfg)
show_rate show_kb_rate (lynx.cfg)
user_agent useragent (command-line option)
-------------------------------------
(report by Michel Such <msuch@free.fr>) -TD
* modify LYRefreshEdit() to clear field before repainting (patch by Hataguchi
Takeshi)
* for CJK configuration, force clearing/repainting in HTUserMsg() (patch by
Hataguchi Takeshi)
* make HTInfoMsg() sleep condition consistent with other messages by using
LYSleepInfo() -TD
* reduce clutter with new function utf8_length() -TD
* replace !isascii(ch) with new macro is8bits(ch), to reduce clutter, fix some
sign-extensions and make it more portable -TD
* change some of the "#if" statements to "#ifdef", to work around broken
versions (2.96, 3.0.1) of gcc distributed with Mandrake 8.1 (though
reportedly this is due to Redhat): the -C option passes through comments as
usual, but some comments expand on preprocessor lines, which causes the
preprocessor to report an expression error. This prevented "make
install-help" from running, though the -C option is not needed for that.
However, lacking a working -C option makes the C preprocessor useless for
analyzing bugs -TD
* modify configure script to accept --with-screen=ncursesw, to build with the
wide-character version of ncurses -TD
* modify configure script to look for mkdtemp(), to quiet another bogus linker
message -TD
2001-10-06 (2.8.5dev.3)
* add CF_MKSTEMP configure macro, from vile, to check for a working mkstemp().
This will quiet some bogus warning messages in recent runtime support, but
(see 2.8.3) does not affect the security of temporary files in lynx -TD
* updated CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro, from vile, to handle leading "\\" in
a win32 pathname -TD
* for configurations that provide scrollbar, add a checkbox to the Options menu
to enable or disable it -TD
* modify LYGetHostByName() in HTTCP.c to use the threaded _WINDOWS_NSL code for
all Cygwin machines. The ability to interrupt nameserver lookup has not
worked in Win98 using the Cygwin port, despite defining _WINDOWS_NSL. It
looks like the threaded code was only for WinNT. At least under Cygwin, that
code also seems to work fine under Win98 -DK
* add FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED as a possible value for DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE in
lynx.cfg as well as keypad_mode in .lynxrc -TD
* add NUMBER_FIELDS_ON_LEFT and NUMBER_LINKS_ON_LEFT to lynx.cfg, use these to
control where field- and link-numbering is placed. Caveat: there are some
cases where fields that do popup's are truncated, e.g., in the Options menu,
when right-alignment is used -TD
* support for DJGPP's two forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and
/dev/[a-zA-z]/ -DK
* add samples/lynxdump script, to illustrate how to use lynx -dump with no
link references (prompted by discussion with LV) -TD
* add samples/keepviewer script, to illustrate how to retain a temporary file
for use in an external viewer -TD
* add ifdef's in is_url() to avoid recognizing URLs if they are disabled in the
given configuration, i.e., bibp, finger, ftp, gopher, news (report by
Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* modify LYrefresh() to take into account whether a popup window exists, so
that a search prompt will not overwrite a popup. This bug was introduced by
the curses pads (reported by Felicia Neff <neff@panix.com> and Fr3dY
<fr3dy@retemail.es>) -TD
* add note in keystroke_help.html about CTRL-V as literal-next (lnext) for
users who are unfamiliar with stty -TD
* add NcFTP-style ftp-URLs which are supported by Netscape and wget (request
by Martin Mokrejs) -TD
* add traces in LYReadCFG.c and LYrcFile.c to report lines which are not found
in the symbol table, to help diagnose when a user adds lynx.cfg information
to .lynxrc -TD
* define additional -trace-mask option, 8=config -TD
* modify LYtouchline() to avoid using wredrawln() for ncurses, since the
LYwin variable may be a pad much wider than the screen, which is not handled
properly (report by Karl Eichwalder <keichwa@gmx.net>) -TD
* correct beginning of configure script, which was supposed to remove
config.cache, but did not, due to a misplaced line when it was added
1998-06-04 (prompted by a report by Fr3dY <fr3dy@retemail.es> that the
checks for srand/rand did not work) -TD
2001-08-15 (2.8.5dev.2)
* several small fixes to HTFile.c to make directory listings work properly on
win32, e.g., stat'ing a directory with a trailing slash fails (reported by
Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* adjust definitions in LYCurses.h to get rid of slang-ifdef's for getyx() and
wmove() -TD
* change order of srandom/random versus srand48/lrand48 -DK
* patch to get the DJGPP port to use the configure script -DK
It seems to work well in the variations I have tried, including both PDCurses
and SLang. revised INSTALLATION for DOS, giving a URL for my DOS patch to
openssl. I dropped the reference to goto URL of the form
file:///dev/c/path/filename, since this only works in certain parts of lynx
(such as lynx.cfg). I'll try to get this working in the future. In fixing
makefile.in, I patched the sed script for converting the path to docdir. As
far as I can tell, however, from my examination of lynx.cfg, this isn't used
for any platform. Does this part of the sed script do anything?
Things still needing fixing for DOS:
+ support for both forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and
/dev/[a-zA-z]/.
+ support for gzipped help files. This works with long file names in a DOS
box under Windows, but not in plain DOS, which doesn't allow double
extensions.
+ better handling of local files in root directory. "file:///c:/" takes a
long time to work, but "file:///c:/." works fine. I haven't really looked
to see why.
+ no ability to break out of hung nameserver lookups or http requests without
closing lynx with SIGINT. This is the biggest complaint I get by email.
* modify ifdef for myGetChar() in LYStrings.c to build with PDCurses 2.3 e.g.,
to use a version which is modified for Japanese input (patch by Hataguchi
Takeshi)
* review LYSafeGets() calls, stripping newlines from a few places where they
were overlooked, and simplifying some places where LYSafeGets() would
normally return a buffer ended with a newline (prompted by a report by Brian
S Queen <bqueen@nas.nasa.gov> for LYTraversal.c) -TD
* correct reallocation-size in ProcessMailcapEntry() -TD
* modify HTLoadHTTP() to omit "Accept-Encoding: gzip" if command-line "-base"
option is given. This makes
lynx -base -source excite.com
work as expected. Otherwise, excite.com will transmit the document gzip'd,
and the ensuing logic in HTSaveToFile() would see the mime-type as gzip
rather than text/html, and not prepend the base URL (report by Kai Shih
<kai@mit.edu>) -TD
* work around defect in move_anchors_in_region() and related logic by changing
default for nested-tables to FALSE when Lynx is not configured for
color-style. The problem is that when an anchor is shifted right by
nested-table logic, if it has a <BR> near the beginning of a table cell and
it happens to be split across a line, its size will not be adjusted properly
(report by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* correct logic used for trimming TEXTAREA introduced in 2.8.4pre.3, which did
not trim carriage-return characters if TRIM_INPUT_FIELDS was false.
(report by Hataguchi Takeshi) -TD
* correct a bug in search logic which happens with pages shorter than the
screen, due to improper starting-line value sent to search function. Fixed
by adding checks in www_search_backward() and www_search_foreward(), (report
by -Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
2001-07-24 (2.8.5dev.1)
* modify GetChar() definition for PDCurses to ignore key-modifiers which are
passed back from getch() as if they were key codes. Those interfere with
shifted commands such as 'Q' -TD
* modify parse_style() function to operate on a copy of its parameter, to avoid
changing it. Otherwise, when parse_style() is executed as a side effect of
start_curses(), its data is modified and not valid on successive calls.
This bug existed prior to 2.8.4dev.17 -TD
* set return value of edit_current_file() to true if the file is edited. This
forces a reload for example if one edits the current html file, and is needed
to make PDCurses repaint the screen as well (report by Victor Schneider,
bug introduced in 2.8.4dev.21) -TD
* add ifdef for wresize() to accommodate FreeBSD 3.x which has resizeterm() but
not wresize(). Also, use a 'long' rather than 'attr_t'. These changes are
needed to build with the 1.8.6ache patches to ncurses (report by Matt
<matt@greenviolet.net>) -TD
2001-07-17 (2.8.4rel.1)
* remove comment in README.ssl directing people to
http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/, since that page is moot with 2.8.4 -DK
* add an ifdef in CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro to avoid confusing ncurses'
term.h with other versions -TD
* update URL for zlib -Frederic L W Meunier
2001-07-14 (2.8.4pre.5)
* document CHARSETS_DIRECTORY and CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES in lynx.cfg -IZ
* add a fallback in _Switch_Display_Charset() if no CHARSETS_DIRECTORY was
specified -IZ
* ensure that config variable names in LYReadCFG.c are in alphabetic order,
though only the first character matters (report by IZ) -TD
* updated notes on DOS in INSTALLATION -DK
* modify ifdef in HTTP.c to build with configure --with-ssl --disable-news
(report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
2001-07-10 (2.8.4pre.4)
* correct red/blue color swapping for PDCurses when built on Unix, which uses
X11 -TD
* correct order of checks for wrapping in www_search_forward() and
www_search_backward(), which would allow an infinite loop if there were no
anchors on the current page (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD
* add a missing chunk to reverted change of SGML_character() -NSH
<nsh@horae.dti.ne.jp>
2001-07-07 (2.8.4pre.3)
* review/add descriptions of new command-line options in lynx.man, lynx.hlp and
Lynx_users_guide.html -TD
* update da.po, ja.po, ru.po, sv.po from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/lynx/
(report by JES) -TD
* add command-line option -curses-pads which can be used to disable the
left/right scrolling logic. This is used for testing, e.g., the repaint
bug reported below -TD
* remove logic in lynx_force_repaint() which reset the window background, since
it does not work with the logic used to implement left/right scrolling.
Retested older versions of ncurses and did not find a case where this was
needed after all (report by IZ) -TD
* revert 2.8.4dev.21 change to SGML_character() S_equals case, which has undesirable
side effects regarding spacing around '=' (report by
<nsh@horae.dti.ne.jp>) -TD
* define additional -trace-mask option, 1=SGML -TD
* add -trim_input_fields command-line option and corresponding
TRIM_INPUT_FIELDS to lynx.cfg to suppress trimming of TEXT and TEXTAREA
fields in forms. This does not retain trailing blank lines in a TEXTAREA;
more work would be needed to do that (reported by VH, most browsers appear to
retain trailing blanks) -TD
* modify parsing of "<script>...</script>" to allow "<!-- ... -->" comments
in SGML_character(). Though the HTML 4.0 spec is fairly clear, other
browsers (and some webpages) assume that "</" does not have to be escaped
when it appears in a script which is commented to avoid confusion with older
browsers. This change doesn't ensure that the comment is at the beginning
of a line, since that's awkward to do with SGML_character(), and also leaves
the script in a comment which works for lynx since lynx does not interpret
it anyway -TD
* remove redundant enum identifiers in typedefs -TD
* modify parse_attributes() in LYStyle.c to allow video attributes such as bold
and reverse to be combined with colors, used this to debug problem with
<script> and comment -TD
* improve logic for nested-tables to handle cases such as www.tin.org -IZ
TRST ignores the horizontal alignment *inside* a multi-line cell of a table.
This limitation, in conjunction with the nested-tables modifications does not
work well when text with a horizontal alignment (e.g., <ul>) is put in a
table cell. This patch introduces a *limited* logic to take this info into
account. It should work OK as far as the last non-empty line of the cell is
ended by a "line-end" command, not by a </td> (this is often the case with
contents using horizontal formatting).
* updated URLs for ncurses (report by DK) -TD
* updated samples/bright-blue.lss -IZ
* make definition of $(SHELL) in makefile.in's consistent, in terms of
CONFIG_SHELL, since the configure script no longer uses 'include', and
this creates some problem with nonstandard shells (report by IZ) -TD
* update/extend lists in lynx_help_main.html -Frederic L W Meunier
* add note about lynx.cfg mouse and color configuration to user's guide -PW
* document -cmd_log and -cmd_script options in user's guide (Michael Warner).
2001-06-10 (2.8.4pre.2)
* corrected order of parameters of is_prefix() function in the
scan_cookie_sublist() function, broken in 2.8.4dev.21 changes (report by Ken Scott
<admin@shellworld.net>) -TD
* add a fallback definition for SA_LEN(), to build with glibc 2.2 (report by
Mark Sutton <mes@lazo.ca>, from
http://cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/lynx-SA_LEN.patch?rev=1.1) -Arkadiusz
Miskiewicz
* modify ifdef in HTCheckForInterrupt() to build with DJGPP -DK
* remove include for <pdcurses.h>, use <curses.h> which is the default for
PDCurses - DK
* reviewed/reverted some changes from 2.8.4dev.20 which changed explicit "r", "w",
and "a+" fopen modes to TXT_R, TXT_W and TXT_A, where they relied on the
default mode set via SetDefaultMode(). With DJGPP, files containing special
graphics such as README's might not otherwise display, for example (report by
DK) -TD
2001-06-03 (2.8.4pre.1)
This version has been test-built on Linux (BSD curses, ncurses,
slang), Tru64 5.1 (cc, curses/ncurses/slang), OpenVMS, OS/2 EMX, win32
(both Visual C++ 4.1 and 5.0 as well as Borland C++), AIX 4, HPUX 11,
Solaris 8. Recent builds include SunOS 4.1.4 (cc and gcc,
curses/ncurses/slang), Solaris 2.5.1 (cc and gcc,
curses/ncurses/slang) and IRIX 6.5 (cc and gcc, curses/ncurses). Less
recently, FreeBSD 4.1, NetBSD 1.5 and OpenBSD 2.8 (curses/ncurses).
2001-06-02 (2.8.4dev.21)
* regenerated lynx.pot and resync'd the .po files against it with msgmerge,
formatted to 132 columns to minimize line-breaks, for ease of comparison -TD
* add a few more #undef's to work with glibc 2.1.3 -TD
* include <signal.h> before <curses.h> to work around bug in glibc 2.1.3, which
apparently was not used to build a system before release. Note that the
preferred solution is to patch /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h to avoid defining
ERR, which is defined by all versions of curses.h (report by Karl Eichwalder
<ke@suse.de>) -TD
* change lynx.cfg entry for COLOR #6 to brightred/black, which is what
Slackware uses, to make links more visible -TD
* remove several chunks of dead (#if 0) or commented-out code, especially in
TRSTable.c, except a few used for debugging -TD
* add checks for potential buffer overflow in increment_tagged_htline() -TD
* consolidate scattered calls to editor with function edit_temporary_file(),
which fixes terminal modes when editing TEXTAREA -TD
* modify LYisNonAlnumKeyname(), etc., using new functions LYindex2MBM() and
LBMBM2index() so that it should work with EBCDIC, as well as similar case of
translation in LYBookmarks.c which assume that there are no gaps in the
coding for the alphabet -TD
* workaround in lynx_nl2crlf() for ncurses, which did not refrain from using
cursor-down if it was set to a newline when nonl() was specified -TD
* replace permissions[] array in LYLocal.c because Cygwin (mis)implements the
S_xxx values as a function -TD
* add ENABLE_LYNXRC setting to lynx.cfg, which allows one to modify the list
of values which are visible on the O'ptions form which can be saved to the
.lynxrc file -TD
* check the width of entries displayed by LYOptions.c non-forms
boolean_choice(), to pad shorter ones with spaces -TD
* change type of LYMultiBookmarks to integer, combine with LYMBMAdvanced, to
use enumMultiBookmarks to set it, making its configuration more easily
table-driven -TD
* make the style of menu border/bg/entry/number/active-entry and scroll
indicator settable -IZ
The names in lynx.lss are
menu.frame menu.bg menu.n menu.entry menu.active menu.sb
* modify cookie path prefix-comparison to ignore a trailing slash, e.g.,
/group/sftvnews/ versus /group/sftvnews (workaround for LV visiting
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sftvnews) -TD
* cookie path= should be a prefix of the request-URI path, so do not truncate
request-URI path in LYSetCookie() [we got mistaken "invalid cookie path=..."
prompt in some cases previously] -LP
* parameterized the logic around URL_edit_history to add MAIL_edit_history,
used to store addresses for Printing Options, mail file to user (request by
LV) -TD
* check, fix minor problems with some .po files based on check_po script
(mentioned on mutt-dev mailing list by Bjorn Jacke <bjacke@suse.de>) -TD
* fixes to build with U/Win -TD
* check width in LYpaddstr(), truncate the string if needed. This fixes a
case where items in very wide popup menus would wrap, e.g., the EXTERN_LINK
menu -TD
* add a configure checks for term.h, to work around broken package for ncurses
on Cygwin -TD
* combine checks for useragent into one function LYCheckUserAgent() -TD
* add runtime toggle for EXP_NESTED_TABLES, bind this to "~" (see www.tin.org
for comparison) -TD
* regenerate ja.po from lynx-2.8.3rel1.ja.po using gettext 0.10.37 and libiconv
1.6.1 (updated by Masayuki Hatta <mhatta@po.airs.net>)
* changed -DNCURSES in DOS makefile to -DPDCURSES -TD
* changes for DOS makefiles with DJGPP -DK
These changes are for DOS under DJGPP with Internationalization and SSL. The
openssl port for DOS is dependent on WATT32, so the link order for libraries
has to be set appropriately. Made EXP_NESTED_TABLES the default and changed
the default locations for WATT-32 and PDCURSES to top-level directories. The
DOS port of gettext is now dependent on libiconv.a to convert character sets
as the .mo file is read. The format for the makefile in WWW/Library/DJGPP
now reflects the changes previously made in the src makefile.
* improve definition of CTRACE, making it an expression again as it was before
2.8.4dev.20 -PG
* move logic for cookie_domain_flag_set() out of LYReadCFG.c into LYCookie.c
rewriting it to make it table-driven, where it is now shared with
LYrcFile.c -TD
* rewrote LYrcFile.c, making it table-driven as is LYReadCFG.c -TD
* reviewed/corrected several pointer-mismatches in PARSE_xxx() macro usage -TD
* corrected return-types of several functions in LYLocal.c, which were given as
BOOLEAN though they return a signed integer -TD
* add DIRED support to makefile.bcb -TD
* filter the list of mime types sent in "Accept:" header for GET, to eliminate
repeated or shadowed types, using new function HTFilterPresentations()
(addresses Debian bug report #41594) -TD
* fix several typos in Lynx help-files -LV
* change most configure script C-preprocessor assignments to $CFLAGS to
$CPPFLAGS, and modify logic of $TRY_CFLAGS to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS, which
does the same thing -TD
* enable scroll indicators on the menus - shown if there is a part of menu
before/after the visible area -IZ
* modify the context-sensitive mouse-menu, making it easier to to configure by
reorganizing the tables used to generate the popup menu -IZ
* correct a couple of places in form_getstr() when keys were "generated"
instead of actions, which broke mouse-navigation in input fields -IZ
* fix return value of Stbl_finishTABLE(), retesting curpos whose value may have
been altered, e.g,. in split_line(), causing a cell to overflow to the right
of the visible area (even if line wrap is requested) -IZ
* change the logic of -display-charset: before it was sometimes descriptive
(here is the charset, behave as if it was used for display), sometimes
prescriptive (make the display to use charset if you can). Now it is only
descriptive. One is forced to use the 'O'ptions to manually load a different
font -IZ
* move $(DEFS) and $(CHARSET_DEFS) into $(CPP_OPTS) in src/makefile.in -TD
* renamed -blink_is_boldbg command-line option to -blink, corrected ifdef's -TD
* implement -blink_is_boldbg option for OS/2 EMX and ncurses, then integrated
some ifdef's to merge with equivalent slang code -IZ
* rewrote hardcoded if/then/else chains in handle_LYK_SHIFT_LEFT()
handle_LYK_SHIFT_RIGHT() to repeat_to_delta() function -TD
* implement a key-accelerator for shift-left/right commands, i.e., repeating
the shift command increases the amount by which the screen is shifted -IZ
* modify ifdef in handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE() to use popup menus for each
configuration rather than limit it only to mouse-supported ones such as
ncurses or PDCurses -TD
* changes to left/right scrolling to limit its effect to tables (IZ):
+ rename LYlineWrap variable (used to denote the column at which content is
wrapped) to LYwideLines (used to denote the opposite sense: true if
wrapping is disabled).
+ add global variable LYtableCols to control the column-limit for tables.
The two variables LYLineWrap and LYtableCols have the same effect as did
altering LYlineWrap and LYcols, but are limited to table layout.
+ modify handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE(), use a popup menu to set LYwideLines
and LYtableCols. The latter is set to a positive integer, in units of
1/12 of the physical screen width.
+ modify GridText.c, replacing LYcols with new macros DISPLAY_COLS and
WRAP_COLS.
+ keep scrollbar on the right margin of the screen when the contents are
shifted left or right.
* modify makefile.bcb, add (tested) commented-out lines for building with
color-styles -TD
* modify makefile.msc and makefile.bcb, add (tested) commented-out lines for
building with winsock2 -TD
* add a configure check for napms(), use this if available to support subsecond
delay times for INFOSECS, MESSAGESECS, ALERTSECS -TD
* rewrote www_user_search() to support both forward and backward search.
Bound backward-search to 'N' -TD
* split-out anchor_has_target() and link_has_target() to separate the search
loops from the search comparisons -TD
* reduce some clutter with LYno_attr_strstr() and LYno_attr_mb_strstr() macros,
which combine the caseless/case-sensitive functions -TD
* modify S_equals in SGML_character() to recover when no attribute value
is given, e.g., if "alt=" is followed by whitespace. Before, the next
attribute was used for the missing value -TD
* replace call to LYRemoveBlanks() from LYLegitimizeHREF(), which had the
effect of removing all blanks from HREFs, with the less drastic step of
reducing newlines and tabs to spaces and trimming leading/trailing blanks.
Though they do not belong there, it is more likely that the HREF will work
with embedded blanks retained -TD
* add a configure check for BSD- and SYSV-style curses touchline function,
needed to build with NetBSD 1.5 curses which has a partial implementation
of X/Open curses (report by JES) -TD
* correct insert_blanks_in_line(), which did not copy trailing style codes
such as stop-underline, causing "lynx -dump -with_backspaces" to produce
some odd effects -TD
* modify configure script macro CF_NCURSES_VERSION to define NCURSES, in case
it is used in the default screen setting, since lynx uses this definition in
some places rather than NCURSES_VERSION to distinguish it from other curses
implementations -TD
* modify configure script macro CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS to check for ncurses.h
before curses.h, and to specifically check for <ncurses/ncurses.h>, to avoid
spurious matches against a /usr/include/ncurses.h, to workaround problems
with obsolete versions of ncurses on FreeBSD and NetBSD where the current
version is often available only as a "port" (reports by Jim Spath,
Michael Warner) -TD
* add fallback definition for SLSMG_xxx_CHAR symbols which may be missing in
older versions of slang (reported by Eduardo Chappa) -TD
* update config.guess, config.sub
2001-04-01 (2.8.4dev.20)
* rename KEYMAP 'EXTERN' to 'EXTERN_LINK', adding 'EXTERN_PAGE'. Existing
keymaps should work since 'EXTERN_LINK' matches first. EXTERN_PAGE runs the
external command on the current page. Map comma (,) to EXTERN_PAGE -TD
* replace most calloc calls with typecalloc or typecallocn -TD
* modify LYExtern.c to recognize if more than one EXTERN command has been
defined in lynx.cfg for a given name, and allow the user to select one
command from a popup menu -TD
* split-out code that opens lynx.cfg and lynx.lss as LYOpenCFG() function,
making that check if the given pathname is absolute. If not, it attempts
to look in the same directory as the parent file (when processing includes),
or the directory of the default config file -TD
* replace some explicit "r", "w", and "a+" fopen modes with TXT_R, TXT_W and
TXT_A, add/use corresponding BIN_R, BIN_W, BIN_A definitions. Correction to
OpenHiddenFile(), which would have appended text to a binary file -TD
* combined lynx_html_item_type and lynx_printer_item_type structs as
lynx_list_item_type to simplify LYReadCFG.c and incidentally fixing a bug in
add_printer_to_list by merging it with add_item_to_list -TD
* implement a simple workaround for staircased messages from running xli as an
external viewer, with lynx_nl2crlf() function -TD
* add bright-blue.lss sample (from IZ) -TD
* modify makefile.in's to use symbol _O for object suffix to allow simple
override for OS/2 EMX -Zomf compiler option (request by IZ) -TD
* add HAVE_LYHELP_H definition in config.hin and use that in LYGlobalDefs.h
to workaround misuse of HAVE_CONFIG_H in makelynx.bat -TD
* work-around in LYrefresh() when curses pads are used, for special case where
cursor is not set properly when prompting with long subject line for mailto
URL -TD
* eliminate some pointer mismatch compiler warnings in LYEditInsert() for
EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT configuration -TD
* improve handling of tables with respect to bad HTML. Also took an
opportunity to macroize a couple of places which missed in
unobfuscation-of-faking <td></td> (this faking happens when line break
happens in a non-first column of a table) -IZ
For example:
<TR>
<TD>
<FORM ACTION="FrameWork.class" METHOD="post">
y
</TD>
<TD>
<DIV>
x
</DIV></FORM>
</TD>
</TR>
Note FORM which spans cells. -trace'ing it gives very unintuitive
results: it skips </TD> inside FORM, but not <TD>. Then it supplied
</TD> when the FORM ends.
* repair treatment of colspans in TRST, making it work again in one of the
special cases it worked before. Another bug was in interaction of
justification and tables -IZ
* marked more TRACEs in TRST as "BUG"s -IZ
* TRST would sometimes produce non-intuitive results if <td> follows </tr>.
Add error recovery for this case -IZ
* corrections for nested-table configuration -IZ
+ make trailing <BR> in table cells "behave well" again (the following cell
would not be horizontally offset).
+ fix highlighting of multiline links inside tables, and a "80M tracelog" bug
(due to a misprint update of the enclosing table was performed once-per-row
instead of once-per-table). Extra updates would not hurt, but led to
slowdowns and quadratic-size logs.
+ fix a special case with table-in-table for partial-display
* resizing a window on a console may lead to a switch of the character-cell
size. The "downloaded font" loaded during an auto-switch of display-charset
may be no longer valid. In this case, force a re-download of the suitable
font for the current charcell size -IZ
* add reverse-video style for forwbackw.arrow to lynx.lss -TD
* while an error in .lynx-keymaps is fatal, but a more or less equivalent error
in the KEYMAP section of lynx.cfg is benign. Make them both benign -IZ
* change remaining uses of lookup_keymap(LYK_xxx) to LAC_TO_LKC0(LYK_xxx) -TD
* modify set_clicked_link() to return lynx keycodes rather than character
values -IZ
* remove line_for_char() function since it is used for HTLine.start
computations -TD
* several changes to GridText.c -IZ
+ '#' (shown at the UL corner when there is a toolbar) is shown even at the
beginning-of-the document.
+ with mouse enabled, the first 6 chars in the UL corner were "always"
sensitive to Click-1, behaving as PREV_DOC (usually on Left). This patch
changes this logic (for color-style):
If '#' is shown there, clicking on it behaves as pressing #;
Clicking on the next 6 chars behaves as PREV_DOC/NEXT_DOC (3+3);
+ if you define a style for forwbackw.arrow, then suitable arrows are shown
in these 3+3 positions; in fact they are shown only if it makes sense to do
PREV_DOC/NEXT_DOC, providing additional feedback.
+ remove the first empty line shown on any HTML document.
+ correct an off-by-one error in the removal-of-zero-length-markup logic.
Due to this bug, zero-length markup was never removed, which led to
accumulation of style change entries, eventually to a buffer overflow. At
this moment lynx color-style engine would give up, resulting in
incomprehensible ocean of colors on the display. To demonstrate, make a
select entry with more than 46 entries. [My auto-display-charset logic
added 2 new encodings to the table of Lynx, bringing the number to 46 on
the 'o'ption form. ;-]
+ fixes a bug with incorrectly calculated width of a numeric tag [12]
as far as 12 is 10 or more (still fixes Debian #68542).
+ remove unused members from HTLine struct.
+ make variables underline_on and bold_on private.
+ rewrote insert_blanks_in_line(), splitting out move_anchors_in_region().
+ make split_line() easier to maintain by adding variables to represent
common subexpressions, e.g., s_post, s_pre.
+ use set_style_by_embedded_chars() in split_line() to simplify/improve test
for whether lynx should add a bold/underline control.
+ recode to eliminate HTLine.start
+ recode to eliminate HTLine.chars
+ several changes to split_line(), using pointers to HTChangeStyle structs
rather than array indices.
* adjust some ifdef's to make configure --disable-trace compile -TD
* correct allocation size in mailcap_substitute(), which did not count the
trailing null -TD
* add configure --enable-vertrace option, to put __FILE__ and __LINE__ into
trace log -PG
* improve description of USE_MOUSE in lynx.cfg -PW
* fix a few warnings from antic (unreached statements due to quirks of ifdef's,
incorrectly-indented code) -TD
* eliminate a few references to USE_HASH and LINKEDSTYLES in documentation -TD
* fix a couple of compiler warnings for SCO -BL
* fix a comparison in HTChunkPutUtf8Char() to work with EBCDIC -PG
* fix a typo in LYCharUtils.c CTRACE macro, amend tracing to avoid suppressing
a related user message -PG
* change CF_TERMCAP_LIBS configure macro to warn rather than exit with an error
if it cannot find the libraries it is looking for. This allows one to
configure with the slang library on systems without a termcap library (report
by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
2001-02-26 (2.8.4dev.19)
* add experimental configure option for post-2.8.4dev.16 TRST changes by IZ
(--enable-nested-tables), ifdef'd with EXP_NESTED_TABLES -TD
* correct a couple of places that used attrset() rather than wattrset(), which
caused the status line to lose color when configured for curses pads but not
using color-style (report by Fr3dY <fr3dy@retemail.es>) -TD
* add a restriction for the chdir command, so it is not normally enabled in
anonymous mode -TD
* reduce putenv logic for presetting $LINES and $COLUMNS to a special case
for MVS -PG
* enable pasting an URL into Lynx (similar to 'g'), and improves the code to
copy an URL from Lynx -IZ
* remove arbitrary restrictions on the size of text to be pasted. It also
makes a quadratic algorithm into a linear one. Also, it may remove many bugs
when the text to paste contains non-printable chars. Not tested with Unicode
and on Win* -IZ
* implement an action NEXT_DOC, which undoes what PREV_DOC (usually on the
Left-arrow key) does -IZ
Possible enhancements:
a) make HISTORY show the position on the (no more!) "stack".
b) several places in the source use the value of nhist (they scan
history?). Make nhist_extra public, and check whether these
places want nhist + nhist_extra instead.
c) Currently LYpop() and (some) LYpush() erases "the tail" of the
stack. Maybe some callers would prefer a different semantic...
* correct some logic related to EXP_READPROGRESS -IZ
* change LYE_xxx symbols to an enum LYEditCodes -TD
* replace some WIN_EX ifdef's by CAN_CUT_AND_PASTE. Enable cut and paste on
OS/2 -IZ
For example, in the keymap file:
setkey "\200\4" LAC:DO_NOTHING:PASTE # S-insert
setkey "^(kIC)" LAC:DO_NOTHING:PASTE # S-insert
* enable automatic switching of display charsets -IZ
Currently, it is supported under OS/2 only. A couple of lines should make it
work in LINUX too: express the semantic of _Switch_Display_Charset() in
terms of the existing UCChangeTerminalCodepage.
For example, in lynx.cfg:
CHARSETS_DIRECTORY:I:/get/tfont10/dir1
CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES: koi8-r ISO-8859-5 windows-1251 cp866u KOI8-U :cp866, iso-8859-1 windows-1252:cp850
The first variable may be not needed outside of OS/2 (the directory which
contains glyph tables, as generated/usable with tfont). [Used for
full-screen sessions only.] The second variables may go at the future, when
Lynx knows how to auto-deduce it itself. Format of CHARSET_SWITCH_RULES
source1 source2 source3 : dest1, source4 source5 : dest2
* move a call for _scrsize() from LYSystem() to size_change(), to fix problem
with OS/2 EMX related to screen-size changes -IZ
* correct a bug in TRSTable.c which left a pointer into a chunk which was
reallocated elsewhere (report by Robert Mognet <rmgnt@surfree.com>) -TD
* make parse_restrictions() warn about keywords it does not recognize -TD
* rewrote restrictions_fun() in LYMain.c, making it use print_help_strings(),
to show the actual restriction values, and listing restrictions that are not
documented in the -restrictions message -TD
* if find-leaks if enabled, free the 'line' variable in HTReadProgress() -TD
* if find-leaks is enabled, undefine SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE in HTString.c to avoid
seeing spurious leaks in HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 -TD
* add command-line option -trace-mask to specify optional traces. Defined
these: 2=color-style, 4=TRST -TD
* improve ifdef's for --disable-trace configure option, eliminating more unused
code when NO_LYNX_TRACE is defined -TD
* make ifdef's for NCURSES and resizeterm consistent -TD
* add a call to wresize() after resizeterm() in case user resizes screen in
ncurses pad configuration (report by IZ) -TD
* change entry for "bibp" restriction to "goto_bibp" for consistency with the
other goto_xxx restrictions, and use CAN_ANONYMOUS_GOTO_BIBP (report by
Robert Cameron) -TD
* add table entries for goto_xxx restrictions, which replace assignments
overlooked in conversion to table in 2.8.4dev.18 (report by Robert Cameron) -TD
2001-02-12 (2.8.4dev.18)
* change LYLineEditors[] to unsigned char since values are out of range for
signed chars on Solaris -TD
* correct a memory leak in HTStat() from mis-patch for Win32 -TD
* modify fancy_mouse() logic for ncurses to allow the user to quit a menu by
clicking outside the menu -IZ
* allow a different approach to the problem: how to enter a keyboard
navigation command when you are in an editing mode. A new EDIT-time action
is introduced: LYE_STOP. Use it like this:
KEYMAP:^[:INTERRUPT:STOP
The action behaves as if -tna is temporarily switched on: your edit is
committed, and you go into the non-edit mode - until you press Enter on an
edit field again (or switch to a different document), when this temporary
switch to -tna is terminated. If the "current" edit field has a different
style than the "active" edit field, you get an additional feedback. Anyway,
the status line shows a correct info about the current mode.
In -tna mode this behaves as the usual end-of-edit action -IZ
* make bindings for C-w and C-x C-w do not work for form input fields -IZ
* add etags target to top-level makefile.in -IZ
* add some traces to make color style code easier to debug -TD
* restore commented-out call to HText_cancelStbl() in HTML_TABLE case in
HTML_start_element() from IZ's changes, which is needed for nested table
alignment. The colors shown in deja-news are incorrect however because color
styles are not picking up the </tr> and </table> tags properly, and a few
tables are misaligned relative to 2.8.4dev.16, more analysis needed -TD
* change LYHash.c to use const, eliminate redundant unsigned's and casts -TD
* add a limit check for rand()/etc., result in LYUtils.c, which worked for
Linux lrand48() but was not portable (report by PG) -TD
* add missing definitions to make srand/rand code build for non-autoconf'd
configurations such as win32 -TD
* ifdef'd the mkdir() for lynx_temp_space in LYMain.c to make it apply only to
Unix, to avoid prototype conflict with non-POSIX compilers (report by Mike
Bledig <mikegb@mweb.co.zw>) -TD
* adapt patch for FTP_PASSIVE from NetBSD CVS, to make it work with INET6 (from
comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc newsgroup posting which stated that the patch had
been forwarded to lynx-dev) -TD
* remove unused code of HTParseInet() for INET6 from HTTCP.c -TD
* updated some translations in fr.po and ru.po (report by JES) -TD
2001-02-08 (2.8.4dev.17)
* implement left/right scrolling and line-wrap toggle using '{', '}' and '|'
characters, respectively. This uses SVr4 curses/ncurses pads to make the
whole screen treated as a viewport into a very wide screen -TD
* make do_check_goto_URL() table-driven to simplify it as well as combine the
related messages into GOTO_XXXX_DISALLOWED -TD
* combine restrict_name[] and restrict_flag[] arrays to eliminate possible
ifdef mismatches, as well as to simplify the treatment of "default"
restrictions -TD
* eliminate redundant symbols for color-style ifdefs (USE_HASH and
LINKEDSTYLES), using only USE_COLOR_STYLE -TD
* simplify parse_style() by making most of it a table -TD
* correct logic in arg_eqs_parse() for OPTNAME_ALLOW_DASHES ifdef which made
incorrect match for -display if -display-charset were given
(report by IZ) -TD
* revert a commented-out call to HText_cancelStbl() in HTML_TABLE case in
HTML_start_element() from IZ's changes, which had the effect of changing the
article color in deja-news for color-style configuration -TD
* fix off-by-one error in the END key handling (an empty line was shown at the
end) -IZ
* makes END key always show a full last page of the document. That is, even if
the last line is already shown, it is moved to become the last line of the
screen, so that as much as possible of the document is on the screen -IZ
* add -display_chars cmdline option, and additionally allows autodetection of
the charset on the system which allow it. This provides a way to switch the
display charset other than via obscure manipulation with 'O'ptions. (.lynxrc
is not viable if you have different charsets in different windows.) -IZ
The logic:
(1) first autodetect;
(2) then read cfg file, and if it is not "AutoDetect ..." (as the saved
version says), grant the cfg file charset;
(3) then read the cmdline, if it is present, but not "auto", then
grant it, otherwise switch back to the autodetected one.
* allow TRST code to handle table-in-table. There are now two cases only
(modulo bugs) when Lynx will not show a table in a table form no matter what
is the screen width: when TABLE is inside PRE, and when there is a TAB
inside a TABLE. Both look like deliberate decisions, so I did not change
these places in HTML.c. But one may need to reconsider this at some
moment... Example of usage: to process (my old copy of) DejaNews Power
Search form (which has TABLE-in-TABLE, and multiline cells) you need screen
width of 112 chars -IZ
* enable <BR> and <P> in TRSTables. The table still needs to fit into the
screen width without line wrapping. A tiny bit of additional work may be
needed to allow tables-inside-tables too; then any table should be rendable
as a table after an appropriate screen resizing. This patch also should make
around 70% of TRSTable.c unreachable. A lot of simplification can be made,
and most of the current convoluted hackery may be removed. Since this
algorithm tries to align *all* the display lines of the table, in some rare
cases it may need larger screen width than the old algorithm (the old
algorithm ignores all but one of the display lines corresponding to the given
<TR></TR> - and in most cases just gives up for the whole table if a
multiline cell is but of the simplest form) -IZ
* add several traces and comments to TRSTable.c -IZ
* enable interrupting LYNX by any char bound to INTERRUPT -IZ
* add configure check for srand()/rand() functions, or alternatives with
similar interfaces. These are used in the SSL and experimental temporary
file options -TD
* allow binding ESC to perform some action (such as INTERRUPT:ABORT, or
something else). It is useful only if the curses (or similar) package remaps
all the reasonable escape sequences, so Lynx internal escape-sequence
processing is not needed -IZ
* enable showing the region between mark and point in the edit areas in a
different style. The style names are edit.active.marked and
edit.prompt.marked -IZ
* add visible feedback for special case of unactive current text area which may
exist with -tna. The corresponding style is edit.current -IZ
* add FORW_RL and BACK_LL to edit bindings support to allow cursor forward and
backward respectively to move to the next/previous link if done at the end of
the edit-field -IZ
* update several configure script macros to smooth over incompatibilities
in autoconf 2.49c (alpha). In particular, this eliminates support for
changequote(), and adds limited support for OS/2 -TD
* add google to list of search engines in lynx_help_main.html -LP
* minor formatting of help message -Michael Warner
* modify GetStdin() function in LYMain.c to allow -stdin option to read past
a line consisting of "---" (reported by Michael Warner) -TD
* ifdef'd bibp: support, added configure option --disable-bibp-urls -TD
* add experimental support for bibp: URLs as described in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-cameron-tatu-bibp-02.txt
(patch by Rob Cameron <cameron@cs.sfu.ca>).
* change sed delimiters in makefile.in to avoid using '@', which may appear
in AFS pathnames (report by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>) -TD
* fix missing call to LYCloseTempFP() in LYPrint.c, which caused attempt to
mail a file from the PRINT menu to send an email with a blank body. It looks
like this would happen for any platform not using LYPipeToMailer() -DK
* change pointers for RFC's from ds.internic.net to rfc-editor.org, since
the former appears outdated -Michael Warner
* add undef for HAVE_DELSCREEN to config.hin, so the delscreen() ifdef from
2.8.4dev.16 works as intended -PG
* workaround in CF_CURSES_FUNCS for overzealous compiler that optimized away
the test code -TD
* change order of checks by CF_NETLIBS and CF_SSL macros in configure script,
since SSL libraries depend on network libraries (reports by Martin McCormick
<martin@dc.cis.okstate.edu>, IZ) -TD
2001-01-01 (2.8.4dev.16)
* add ja.po message file (overlooked in 2.8.4dev.15) -Atsuhito Kohda
<kohda@nsx.pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp>
* use C preprocessor at build-time to replace CF_EBCDIC configure macro -PG
* integrated SSL patch from http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/ as a configure
option, --with-ssl -TD
* add configure check for delscreen(), which is not available in some older
SVr3 curses libraries -TD
* add configure check for socks5p.h, to allow socks5 build to use function
prototypes -TD
* updated config.sub, config.guess -TD
* modify some configure macros to use CF_PATHSEP, for path-separator which is
usually colon on Unix, and semicolon on MSDOS, etc. -TD
* modify several configure macros to use $CFLAGS consistently for compiler
options and $CPPFLAGS for C preprocessor options -TD
2000-12-21 (2.8.4dev.15)
* add .po files to main distribution, remove stubs for files that were not
implemented, use msgmerge to resync against the current lynx.pot
(prompted by discussion with Morten Bo Johansen <mojo@image.dk>) -TD
* corrected 2.8.4dev.13 changes for EXP_READPROGRESS, to make the
non-EXP_READPROGRESS configuration build and work with .lynxrc settings -DK
* use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE in exit() and exit_immediately() calls -TD
* improve check for lynx_temp_space by ensuring that the directory actually
exists; attempt to create the directory if it does not, e.g., ~/tmp/, to
resolve problem introduced by Mandrake's patch -TD
* modify SetOutputMode() to flush stdout to work around buffering problem with
Cygwin on error exit from Lynx (reported by Brad Town <btown@ceddec.com>) -TD
* change definitions for LYCharINTERRUPT1 and LYCharINTERRUPT2 to not use
FROMASCII() in the EBCDIC configuration, since those symbols are used in case
statements which otherwise would not compile -PG
2000-11-03 (2.8.4dev.14)
* restore initialization of LYlines, LYcols in setup() which was lost in 2.8.4dev.12
changes (reported by DK) -TD
* modify logic for -stdin option to redirect keyboard input to null device
if lynx is not connected to a terminal, e.g., running under cron -TD
* check in DontCheck() if Lynx is reading from a command-script, to avoid
using those characters to interrupt the application -TD
* add a cleanup handler for win32, since UNIX-style signal handlers do not
work on that platform -TD
2000-10-25 (2.8.4dev.13)
* fix missing ifdef for EXP_READPROGRESS in LYOptions.c (reported by
Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
2000-10-25 (2.8.4dev.12)
* add a configure check for video library on OS/2 EMX, needed to link with
slang. Arrow keys do not work -TD
* use macro UCH to fix gcc's char-used-as-subscript warnings, and to replace
existing casts to unsigned char, making the code more readable -TD
* merge variants of HTReadProgress() -TD
* modify SHOW_KB_RATE in lynx.cfg to allow disabling logic that
shows transfer rate during download. If EXP_READPROGRESS is defined, make
this alterable from the command line and options menu as well (from
discussion by Karen Lewellen <klewellen@delphi.com>) -TD
* add the pathname that caused a problem to the error message in
CF_PATH_SYNTAX, lest someone be confused when tilde is not expanded
(addresses a problem reported by Lawrence Kwan <lawrence@interlog.com>) -TD
* remove redundant leading newlines in "lynx -version" output (reported by Sven
Guckes) -TD
* add dependency in src/makefile.in for building chrtrans/makeuctb$x, used by
UCdomap.o -IZ
* fix CF_PATH_SYNTAX square brackets for OS/2 EMX case, lost by not disabling
m4's quotes for that line (report by IZ) -TD
* remove older/unused variant of code to set screen size in LYCurses.c by
setting environment variables -PG
* one of the ".po" files is zipped as type binary rather than ASCII, so it does
not unzip on OS/390 with the "-a" option. The "-aa" works better since it
forces text conversion regardless of the type of the archived file -PG
* change definitions of LYCharINTERRUPT1 and LYCharINTERRUPT2 to accommodate
EBCDIC -PG
> the remainder (most of the functional changes in this patch) from IZ:
* add "typeless" notion to color style logic:
a) reverts to the style "foo" (from "foo.classname") if the style
"foo.classname" was not configured;
b) For input elements of type=typename uses style
"input.type.typename" if this style is configured (but
"input.classname" is not!);
c) Same for typeless elements, with typename="".
This allows the following:
input.type.submit:normal:blue:black
# match "link":
input:normal:green
textarea:normal:white:cyan
# type-less input is the same as type=text (similar to textarea)
input.type.:normal:white:cyan
input.type.text:normal:white:cyan
If your "link" is configured as normal:green, then input elements of types
other than typeless, text, or submit will be shown in the same style as link.
The textareas and text input elements are shown in the same style (but
different from "link" style), and submit "buttons" are shown yet in another
style.
* implement styles in "dynamic areas" of documents. Three flavors of them are
active text-edit fields, non-active ones, and links/radiobuttons, etc.
This patch is concerned with the first flavor only. Two subflavors are
document's text-edit areas, and Lynx's ones (such as where you input the URL
after `g'). Each one of them has 3 elements: scroll symbols ("arrows"),
after-the-end padding, and the actual input string.
The patch
a) makes styles for these 2*3 elements customizable;
b) uses ACS chars (if available) for the arrows (instead of `{'/`}').
[It would be nice to make non-active text-areas to have customizable
styles for padding, and have scroll arrows too...]
Here is my customization for testing:
edit.active:normal:red:cyan
edit.prompt:normal:green:cyan
edit.active.arrow:normal:yellow:cyan
edit.prompt.arrow:normal:yellow:gray
edit.active.pad:normal:gray:cyan
edit.prompt.pad:normal:white:black
* modify LYSystem() to allow changing size of lynx window with OS/2 EMX
at runtime. Example:
!mode 110,30;exit
* use new macros LYCharINTERRUPT1, LYCharINTERRUPT2 and LYCharIsINTERRUPT() to
make it simpler to find uses of ^C and ^G
* modify key mappings so the keymap file overrides the terminfo/termcap
description rather than the reverse
* make unrecognized keynames emit diagnostic when tracing (but ignores them the
same way the older code did). Trace info about each keycode received
* provide better tracing of style choices, both when styles are assigned into
text-lines, and when lss directives are converted to "numeric colors"
* add similar tracing for links and contents of user-editable stuff
* slightly expand the cache of colors to better accommodate 16-color terminals,
and fixes a misprint in handling background-color == maxcolor
* modify logic in color styles initialization using flag default_color_reset to
override ncurses use_default_colors() logic if the "default" color style tag
is found in lynx.lss
2000-10-18 (2.8.4dev.11)
* include LYLeaks.h in LYPrettySrc.c to allow leak-checking -TD
* modify configure script macro CF_RECHECK_FUNC to ensure that we add a given
library only once to the resulting list. This fixes a longstanding bug which
caused the nsl library to be repeated on some platforms (reported by BL for
one of the SCO configurations, and Urs JanBen <urs@tin.org> for SINIX-L 5.41
(i386-sni-sysv4)) -TD
* modify "make install-doc" rule to first remove targets. Otherwise "ln -s"
and "cp" fail to create the targets when installing with normal user
permissions (reported by LV) -TD
* fix for handle_LYK_DWIMEDIT() to ensure it does not dereference a null
pointer, when trying to edit a text file with no links within it (report by
Harri Tuominen) -DK
* add fallback definitions to accommodate renaming of UCX$xxx symbols to
TCPIP$xxx in recent versions of OpenVMS UCX (reported by Horst Drechsel
<ai05@sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de>) -TD
* add TRSTable.obj to src/descrip.mms objects -TD
* modify configure script to omit LYExtern.o and LYLocal.o if the corresponding
options (externs and dired) are disabled -TD
* correct a typo that made configure script always define USE_EXTERNALS -TD
* interpret ftp server type for VMS if a URL is given with "/~name", as a
Unix-style server. This works for the following, at least:
VMS V6.2 AlphaServer 2100 4/233 MadGoat System type.
(reported by Rick Dyson <dyson@iowasp.physics.uiowa.edu>) -TD
* make configure check for getaddrinfo() less strict, needed with --enable-ipv6
on IPv4-only system (patch by Munechika Sumikawa)
2000-09-21 (2.8.4dev.10)
* modified www_tcp.h and makefile.msc to allow compile with winsock2 if
USE_WINSOCK2_H is defined -TD
* fix: the recently added code to enable external programs to replace normal
lynx handling of individual URL types was not refreshing the screen after the
external program finished (EXTERNAL set TRUE:TRUE) -DK
* fixed two URLs in lynx_help_main.html -DK
* add symbol USE_VMS_MAILER, use to distinguish VMS mail ifdef's for test
compiles -TD
* use new function LYSendMailFile() to consolidate details of non-VMS/non-piped
email, e.g., DOS or Win32, and eliminate some minor inconsistencies in that
area -TD
* correct order of ifdef's in send_file_to_mail() which could leave unsent
email on some systems without popen/pclose -TD
* add some checks in LYhandlePopupList() to prevent popup of an empty list -TD
* change a few messages written to stderr to end lines with \r\n rather than
\n, since Lynx may already be in screen mode when they are written -TD
* treat .Z, .gz and .bz2 suffixes more symmetrically using new function
HTCompressFileType() for parsing them -TD
* change mime type for bzip2 files to bzip2, x-bzip2 -HN
* move IPV6 definitions in www_tcp.h to the end, to build on FreeBSD 4.1, since
SIN6_LEN must not be checked before including netinet/in.h (patch by
Munechika Sumikawa (KAME Project <sumikawa@ebina.hitachi.co.jp>))
* make HTParseInet() private, simplify some ifdef's -TD
* change shell expression used to process stdin for mailcap to "(command)<file"
form, which is a little more robust than "cat file|command" (suggested by
PG) -TD
* update URLs in about_lynx.html -DK
* remove spurious 'FREE(leaf);' from LYLocalFileToURL() introduced in 2.8.4dev.5 -DK
2000-09-01 (2.8.4dev.9)
* improve ifdef's for endwin/newterm logic, making a fallback for LYscreen
variable -PG
* modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to check if both initscr() and tgoto() are in the
$LIBS list before deciding not to try to look for them -TD
* add %s substitution to mailcap_substitute(), overlooked when implementing
the logic to read from stdin when %s is omitted (reported by IC) -TD
* restore endwin/newterm code for ncurses (as PG notes it really is needed) -TD
2000-08-24 (2.8.4dev.8)
* refine CJK-related suppress of refresh() in statusline() to do this only
when the status line does not contain CJK characters (Hataguchi Takeshi)
* add po/da.po placeholder (request by JES)
* implement %s, %t, %{charset} and %{encoding} substitutions for mailcap
commands in HTFWriter.c (addresses Debian #21096) -TD
* use new function AnchorsOnThisLine() to obtain count of anchors on the
current line for correct computation of length required to fix Debian #68542:
Text entry field on http://lists.debian.org/ is hidden when "form fields are
numbered" (reported by H.Nanosecond) -TD
* add OS/2 cases to config.guess, config.sub -TD
* modify CF_FUNC_GETADDRINFO to supply missing definitions for
HAVE_GAI_STRERROR and HAVE_GETADDRINFO, needed to make IPV6 build (reported
by Wesley Morgan) -TD
* reset recent_sizechange after reading KEY_RESIZE from ncurses to work around
a case with Linux libc5 which would be treated as an EOF, causing an exit -TD
* suppress PG's endwin/newterm code for ncurses because it is not needed -TD
* modify start_curses() function to preset environment variables $LINES and
$COLUMNS to make the curses library see the proper screen size. After
calling endwin(), delete the current SCREEN object, to force curses library
to discard its cached values of LINES and COLS. This requires using
newterm(), which may not be present in all versions of curses, so we check
for and ifdef accordingly. Tested on os390 and Solaris -PG
* cleanup IPV6 ifdef's using SOCKETADDR_LEN macro -TD
* add error checks to LYCopyFile() and other places to report problems copying
the downloaded file, using new functions LYCloseOutput(), LYCanWriteFile()
(reported by H.Nanosecond <aldomel@ix.netcom.com> as Debian bug #63391) -TD
* correct logic used to check for "Too many tempfiles", which resulted in
occasional misfires -TD

fix a potential buffer overflow in the latter (report by PG) -TD
* correct logic in LYsubwindow(), which called delwin() with a null WINDOW
pointer -PG, TD
2000-07-17 (2.8.4dev.6)
* move special case statement for os390 compiler before AC_PROG_CC macro in
configure.in and regenerate configure script (reported by PG) -TD
* correct check for return values of check_color() in parse_color() for slang
configuration, which prevented use of "default" color. This applies to
2.8.3rel.1 as well -TD
* correct draw_option() functions in LYForms.c and LYStrings.c for slang
configuration broken in 2.8.4dev.5 by wrong cut/paste (report by IC) -TD
2000-07-16 (2.8.4dev.5)
* remove "*:OS/390:*:*" item from config.guess -PG
* add os390 item to $host_os case-statement in configure.in -PG
* move $host_os case-statement in configure.in before some configuration tests
such as CF_BUNDLED_INTL which might perform compile-time tests -TD
* use LYLocalFileToURL() in handle_LYK_CHDIR() to ensure that DOSPATH is
handled properly, inserting a '/' (reported by DK) -TD
* correct loop condition in HTSaveToFile(), from 2.8.4dev.4 changes for -cmd_script
option which left it ignoring 'c' for cancel -TD
* speed up local directory access for DJGPP by setting _djstat_flags (Gisle
Vanem)
* updates for makelynx.bat, and improved call on the blat mailer (note -f field
not needed or wanted) -Victor Schneider
* fix Debian bug #65151: "<> in javascript causes premature </script>"
(reported by H Nanosecond <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>) -KW
* replaced all occurrences of 'black' with 'default' in /samples/mild-colors.lss
to make it more reasonable on terminals with non-black background -VH
* modify color-style initialization to avoid passing -1's as attribute codes
which would happen if the lynx.lss file was not found, or if not all styles
were set in that file. Also if lynx.lss is not found, initialize the
predefined styles to match those in samples/lynx.lss -TD
* modify handling of empty values for radio and checkbox fields to avoid
sending "on" as the value (reported by Janne Peltonen <jkhp@cc.hut.fi>) -KW
* don't double backslash characters in HTQuoteParameter(), since that changes
the string a program invoked through system will see. Note this assumes UNIX
or POSIX interpretation of single-quoted strings by the shell -KW
* implement first draft of command-completion using popup menu for selection.
Pressing tab twice in the prompt for command or URLs will display a sorted
list of the choices -TD
* implement a simple parser for Lynx commands which are normally bound to keys
using KEYMAP. This is bound to ':', so you can for instance type ":quit" to
exit. The parser allows unique abbreviations, so ":q" is equivalent to
":quit" -TD
* consolidate/simplify logic for displaying popup menus -TD
* rewrote tab-completion to use an HTList -TD
* move related logic into LYSubwindow() to reduce clutter - TD
* make $(DESTDIR) variable work for po directory -TD
* update bundled intl directory to match gettext-0.10.35 (except for fixes to
build scripts) -TD
* modify configure macro CF_CURSES_LIBS to use a different order for library
checks if it has found ncurses header files (i.e., they are installed as
/usr/include/curses.h). This is done to fix an problem where there are two
versions of the curses/ncurses libraries installed, and the "curses" library
is not ncurses (from a report by Sergei Pokrovsky <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>) -TD
* fix for configure script from dialog: If we really do not use included intl,
suppress the command that would attempt to symlink the two copies of its
header -TD
* updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin -TD
2000-06-23 (2.8.4dev.4)
* modify handling to EXTERNAL settings by adding a new field in lynx.cfg. When
TRUE, then activating (using arrow-right for example) the link with URL
matching the one specified by 'prefix' field will be equal to pressing '.' on
it -VH
* restore commented-out "clearok(curscr, TRUE)" in display_page() in GridText.c
to workaround problem repainting multibyte characters (reported by Takuya
ASADA <asada@isoternet.org>) -KW
* add HIDDEN_LINK_MARKER entry to lynx.cfg, allowing user to specify string to
mark hidden links with (thus hidden links become non-hidden, thus they won't
be listed as hidden in the 'l' page) - the name of the setting is
hidden_link_marker. If the string to mark with is empty, then old behaviour
is restored -VH
* implement "change directory" command. This is tested only on linux. It's
bound to 'C' in both modes (before this in normal modem COMMENT command was
bound to 'c' and 'C' in normal mode, and CREATE was bound to 'c' and 'C' in
dired mode). The main purpose of this command is not to type the name of the
directory when 'p'rinting to files and 'd'ownloading. If this command is
invoked in dired mode, the listing of destination directory will be
automatically loaded. Dired file operations menu lists this command too as
the first item. To disable it, comment the line
#define SUPPORT_CHDIR
in userdefs.h -VH
* add definitions to allow slang configuration to implement scrollbars. This
will not work for any termcap/terminfo-based systems, appears specific to
MS-DOS (patch by Gisle Vanem)
* updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin -TD
* fix typo in CF_CHECK_ERRNO configure macro (reported by John Coyne
<John.Coyne@ctbto.org>) -TD
* add <html> and </html> around generated HTML in HTGopher.c, LYKeymap.c,
LYCookie.c and LYCgi.c to make them more-correct. Did not modify
LYBookmark.c because the logic there relies on appending to the bookmark file
(report by Patrick Boylan <pboylan@island.net>) -TD
* make pretty_html() in LYKeymap.c quote ampersand and quote, simplified logic
as well with LYKeycodeToString() implemented for command-logging -TD
* add command-line options -cmd_log and -cmd_script, to provide a simple
command logging and scripting facility -TD
* minor correction to -stdin option, add newline at the end of each line
copied -TD
2000-06-02 (2.8.4dev.3)
* initial support for SOURCE_CACHE_FOR_ABORTED -VH
* change default_keypad_mode_fun() to use config_enum() -TD
* modify config_enum() to check if the given name in lynx.cfg is ambiguous,
matching more than one name -TD
* in passive ftp mode (FTP_PASSIVE:TRUE), use the IP address from the server's
response for the data connection, rather than doing another lookup of the
hostname -KW
* correct bug introduced in 2.8.4dev.2 for leading whitespace in mailcap (reported
by Andrey Chernov) -VH, TD
* change server types in HTFTP.c to an enum -TD
* handle a "215 Windows2000" response from "SYST" command (Gisle Vanem)
* change return value of parse_arg() when processing non-option data to make
URL in stdin (after '-') treated in the second pass, restoring behavior lost
in cleanup (reported by Gisle Vanem) -TD
* allow blank as a separator in arg_eqs_parse() in addition to ':' and '=',
to restore behavior lost in cleanup of argument parsing -TD
* make -stdin option a little more flexible by ifdef'ing primarily based on
ttyname(), and adding fallback definitions for Win32 and VMS -TD
* for slang configurations past 1.3.6, call SLsmg_touch_screen() in
start_curses to ensure that the screen is properly initialized for noce
terminals -JED (John E Davis)
* move call on lynx_initialize_keymaps() for slang configuration into the
start_curses() function, avoiding premature reference to $TERM, especially
when Lynx is running in dump mode, e.g., via cron (report by Hamish Moffatt
<hamish@rising.com.au>, analysis by KW) -TD
* correct logic for ^ and $ commands (FIRST_LINK and LAST_LINK) when the
current line happens to be the first or last line on the screen (reported
by KW) -TD
* remove unused fragments of backspace logic from print_crawl_to_fd() -TD
* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() and print_crawl_to_fd() to refrain from emitting
an offset for empty lines -TD
* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() to refrain from emitting backspaces when
the is_reply parameter is true -TD
* add traces for argument parsing, as well as an environment variable
LYNX_TRACE which has the effect of the -trace option -TD
* add configure check for ttyname, used in ifdef's for -stdin option -TD
2000-05-21 (2.8.4dev.2)
* minor changes to HTInit.c to make it more tolerant of leading whitespace
in mailcap entries (reported by Sven Guckes <guckes@math.fu-berlin.de>) -TD
* add option -stdin, which tells Lynx to read the startfile from standard
input -TD
* simplify argument parsing in LYMain.c, moving the special cases into the
table-driven logic by adding a flag that denotes the argument parsing phase
that applies -TD
* correct duplicate description of JUMPFILE in lynx.cfg -TD
* refine cfg2html.pl changes to use command-line options to control the
sorting and marking features, as well as make the script work properly if
the markup data is not given -TD
* moved entry for lynx.cfg setting "viewer" according to the alphabet in
LYReadCFG.c:Config_Table -VH

* update utmp configure script macros from xterm -TD
* fix (from tin) to autoconf macro AM_WITH_NLS to fix a case where it would
refuse to build with non-GNU gettext -TD
* modified autoconf macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH, to look in more
places for the specified files, including $HOME -TD
* remove intl/libintl.h since it is overwritten by a symbolic link (reported
by Atsuhito Kohda <kohda@pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp>) -TD
* correct a few tests in configure script which must allow inclusion of either
ncurses.h or curses.h, otherwise color-style cannot be configured (reported
by Frederick Bruckman <fb@enteract.com>) -TD
* move logic that makes subdirectory for more-secure temporary files into
LYOpenTemp() where it can perform that action on demand rather than for all
invocations of lynx. Further refine this logic by ensuring that the umask is
set to allow execution permissions on the subdirectory (fixes problems
reported by Michael Abraham Shulman <mas@kurukshetra.cjb.net> and KW) -TD
2000-05-05 (2.8.4dev.1)
* use built-in LYCopyFile logic for CYGWIN rather than external cp program -DK

CONV_JISX0201KANA_TO_JISX0208KANA to CONV_JISX0201KANA_JISX0208KANA -TH
* move include of LYClean.h in LYexit.c to ensure that cleanup_files() is
prototyped on VMS (report by Jerome Lauret) -TD
* move assignment of HadVMSInterrupt in cleanup_sig() to avoid interaction with
logic in HTConfirmDefault() on VMS (reported/tested by Jerome Lauret) -KW

-short_url -KW
* avoid invalid memory access that can result from redirection messages
that include a fragment in the new URL -KW
* change sed delimiter in makefile.in from '%' to '"', to work around SINIX
v5.43 (SYSV4) sed which becomes confused by nested '%' in expression for
htmlized cfg install (reported by Shishakov Vjacheslav
<shishako@avn.skiftel.ru>) -TD
2000-04-23 (2.8.3rel.1)

Editor, Searching type and Cookies (suggested by PW). Correct misspelled
gettext'ed message, introduced in 2.8.3pre.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 <mojo@image.dk>) -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 -JES
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)

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 <a blah href=.>
(i.e. unknown attribute and then some other attribute) was causing calls to
PSRCSTOP(barattr) twice (and lynx was switched to "non-preformatted" mode
losing all white spaces of the document after that piece of code) -VH
* add configure option --with-screen=pdcurses, mainly for checking ifdef
conflicts between ncurses and pdcurses. This builds/runs with the PDCurses
X11 library, but is not recommended for general use -TD
* remove test-artifact in configure check for zlib.h -TD
* add CF_SLANG_UNIX configure macro, to allow slang configuration to build on
AIX, etc., (reported by Jens Schleusener <Jens.Schleusener@dlr.de>) -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
JES report -TD
* remove definition of NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION from makefile.bcb and
makelynx.bat, which should fix compile problem reported by JES -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 JES) -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 <JLAURET@mail.chem.sunysb.edu>).
* undo side-effect of config_enum() function in LYReadCFG.c from cleanup in
2.8.3dev.22 which made default_user_mode and source_cache values not set properly
(reported by Alexei Anatski <alexei.anatski@srm.ru>) -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 2.8.3dev.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 instead of
anchor_UCI->MIMEname when HTCJK is JAPANESE. If this modification isn't
done, Japanese strings may be mishandled when charset is not specified or
assumed as Japanese charset. On the other hand, if this modification IS
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

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

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

Also, change optimization flag to -O1: having experience with slow
386 machine I see no visible difference in speed at run time, but this

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

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

* remove from_source_cache_p parameters in LYMainLoop.c (request by LP) -TD
* documentation updates covering the Options Menu & other changes omitted
previously -PW
* small correction in TRSTable.c: One of my previous changes for TRST broke
inheritance of alignment for cell contents from TR elements -KW
* new functions for keeping track of temp files (and some other files) for user
interface pages: LYRegisterUIPage(), LYIsUIPage(). Most checks that look at
the loaded document's title have been replaced by this mechanism. This also
replaces various mechanism that were implemented for some specific pages -KW
* also replaced some more checks that looked at the document's title by checks
of the address, for pages that are always identified by a special URL scheme
(LYNXCOOKIE:, LYNXKEYMAP:, LYNXMESSAGES:) -KW
* now check directly in postoptions() whether the loaded document is one from
which submission of option changes can be accepted, using the new tracking
mechanism. Only the form-based Options Menu and Visited Links are allowed.
Relying on a good random generator to prevent spoofing is not necessary.
Kept the secure_string check, but it should be only regarded as an aid to the
user, it prevents changing options from an instance of the form-based Options
Menu that is not the most recent one (this can happen if an Options Menu page
is pushed on the history stack and later returned to) -KW
* honor REUSE_TEMPFILES for some more user interface pages -KW
* prevent an obscure LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU crash -KW
* other minor additions and corrections to checks for special pages -KW
* changed INSTALLATION text for --enable-internal-links -KW, HN
* changes to build dev16 with color styles on DJGPP/PDCurses 2.3

* correct a missing check in HTML.c HTML_A case against force_empty_hrefless_a
(reported by KW) -VH
* changed lines -> disp_lines, cols -> disp_cols in GridText.c -KW
* don't reparse with SOURCE_CACHE if screen size changed only
vertically (disp_lines). Also don't reparse unnecessarily in
some cases of LYK_MINIMAL -KW
* don't append (HEAD) to title for INFO screen if already present -KW
* set newdoc.title to curdoc.title in LYMainLoop.c for SOURCE command.
Otherwise INFO could show the wrong document's title -KW
* made global from_source_cache PRIVATE to mainloop -KW
* reset DIRED_MENU item list when lynx.cfg is reloaded -KW
* new lynx.cfg option AUTO_UNCACHE_DIRLISTS for Dired mode, see lynx.cfg -KW
* prevent file descriptor and inode leak in HTFWriter.c that occurred if
the same resource is repeatedly downloaded (for 'd' or for passing to
a viewer) -KW
* corrected logic for suppressing last HTDisplayPartial call at end of file,
after discussion with LP -KW
* corrected line counting in HTDisplayPartial, taking into account offsets used
for the various variables being compared -KW
* added confirmation prompt for reloading non-safe post_data documents in
form-based Options Menu change handling. Before this change, the prompt
would be issued after returning to mainloop() instead, with different
behavior if confirmation was denied: The document would be popped instead of
keeping the current instance -KW
* function confirm_post_resub made PUBLIC and moved to HTAlert.c. New function
srcmode_for_next_retrieval in LYGetFile.c. Both used for the above and in
LYMainLoop.c -KW
* fixed behavior for various post_data confirmation prompts in connection with
SOURCE_CACHE in LYMainLoop.c. Before this change, the user would be prompted
to confirm reloading, yet on confirmation reparsing from the source cache
would be attempted. So prompts were unnecessary and misleading -KW
* try to handle some failures of errors in source cache reparsing better. Try
to make sure that unsafe post_data documents don't get reloaded accidentally
without confirmation if source cache reparsing fails. Treat partial data
(i.e. loading from source cache probably 'z'apped by user) as successful, as
HTLoadDocument does. (Various error conditions are currently only passed on
to the caller by HTParseFile, not by HTParseMem. I left this apparent design
decision unchanged.) -KW
* source cache reparsing did not rewrite a previous cache copy when the
document was reloaded from the net. This means that e.g. NOCACHE or RELOAD
would force reloading from the network, but then on the next non-forced
loading of the document (e.g. by toggling to SOURCE view) the old (and
possibly stale) copy would again be used. Now the newer copy replaces the
old copy if loading is successful (and not interrupted or aborted with 'z').
(Note that RELOAD while in source view, at least in the normal one without
-preparsed or -prettysrc, does not have this effect since the document does
not get pushed through the cache writer at all in that case.) -KW
* if a source cache copy for a document exists, we need a way to ensure that
reparsing from that copy does not try to rewrite that same copy "under our
feet" while still reading from it. Previously that was done by just never
rewriting an existing source cache. After changing that (see previous item),
a different approach is needed to prevent such collisions. This is now
solved in two ways: (a) Base a temporary new file or memory chunk for
writing, and only commit it to the doc's ParentAnchor object (replacing the
previous copy) at the end of the incoming data stream. This is done in
CacheThru_free(), but not in CacheThru_abort(), meaning that an interrupted
or otherwise aborted transmission will not replace an existing cached copy
with a truncated now version - as long as such interruption gets detected and
properly indicated, which is not the case for reading from the source cache
with SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY in effect, see above. (b) Change the
HTParentAnchor's protocol field to indicate a non-HTTP protocol, before
starting to load from source cache in HTreparse_document(). Normally, as
long as DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is not defined, this prevents the cache writer
from (re)generating a cache copy. Mechanism (b) isn't necessary (everything
still works when DEBUG_SOURCE_CACHE is defined), it just avoids unnecessary
work -KW
* source cache files and chunks were not always being removed when they should,
probably since change of 1999-06-18. A large number of cache copies could be
kept around unnecessarily wasting disk or memory space. Now make sure that
the source cache copy gets removed when a document is removed from the cache
of rendered docs. They would never be reused anyway. New function
HTAnchor_clearSourceCache. Note to other developers: HTAnchor_delete()
doesn't always remove the HTParentAnchor object, see its implementation -KW
* detect errors during appending to the cache copy. Previously, memory
allocation errors (for SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY) would cause program exit, and
file write errors (SOURCE_CACHE:FILE, e.g. if the temp disk space was full)
would go undetected and leave the cache file corrupt or truncated. Now allow
the program to continue normally, just cancel the source cache generation for
the current document (which may free up enough memory or disk space to remedy
the immediate problem). Produce an alert message. In the case of a file
error, produce the alert only once until a possibly re-reading of lynx.cfg,
since Lynx should remain otherwise functional in the face of cache file
writing errors -KW
* extended HTChunk: added a variant for which memory allocation errors
are not fatal. Used for changes described in previous item -KW
* don't write raw escape sequences to trace output for lynx-keymaps if
not using trace log file -KW
* protect echo() in stop_curses, it could crash if stop_curses gets called
without preceding start_curses -KW
* save size for regular files in anchor structure (we do the stat() anyway).
It shows up on INFO page as Content-Length. Also use it in partial display
mode to prevent the last call to HTDisplayPartial from HTFileCopy, since a
call to HText_pageDisplay will follow immediately. (But note that nothing
important depends on the correct size; should it be wrong, we lose at most
one partial display screen update. An equivalent suppression of the last
partial update for network protocols is not recommended, since (a) the size
is more unreliable and (b) the socket FIN may be delayed by the network.) -KW
* split HTMIME_put_character into three functions -KW
* made HTMIME.c handle folded header lines correctly (long-standing bug,
reported in February by Devid Coles) -KW
[ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0299/msg00135.html ]
* changed how HTTP redirection messages are handled. Don't read full message
and parse buffer for some header fields in HTLoadHTTP. Use common HTMIME.c
header parsing instead. Functions added/modified in HTMIME.c for storing
away the Location URL (if requested and found) and for stopping after the
headers. New private MIME types "message/x-http-redirection" and "www/debug"
to control this via HTStreamStack. Basic approach taken from newer W3C
libwww. Benefits:
- Removes actual bug that was reported: "Content-Location:" was falsely
recognized as "Location:". (long-standing bug)
[ reference: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1199/msg00370.html ]
- Removes potential other bugs caused by inferior header parsing in HTTP.c
(including Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2).
- Should more header fields be needed in the future (also) for redirection
messages, we now get them automatically instead of having to add extra
code.
- Trace output now shows the same kind of info as for other responses.
In particular, Set-Cookie/Set-Cookie2 header fields will normally be
visible.
- Statusline progress messages now actually show the HTTP response line
as intended, and it is recorded for LYNXMESSAGES:. (Long-standing error,
previously what was shown could be an empty string, or arbitrary parts
of the response, including HTML markup from the message body.)
- Adding redirection support for lynxcgi would now be simpler (although
currently not done) -KW
* HTErrorStream(), similar to W3C libwww, used in some cases for the above -KW
* remove check in HTParse() dated 98/09/08 which prevented unescaping of 8-bit
data (reported by KW) -TD
* refresh screen for TRST changes in partial display mode as early as possible.
This fixes a problem when the table finished below the screen bottom -LP
* remove global Newline_partial, use LYGetNewline() instead -LP
* adapt idea by VH as a Perl script cfg-html.pl which generates HTML form of
the lynx.cfg documentation -TD
1999-11-30 (2.8.3dev.16)
* added -nozap command line option -KW
- In its basic form, it disables all checks for 'z' or ^G or other
"immediate" keys that otherwise happen while processing a request (for name
lookups, before or during loading of a document). Note that it also disables
paging through an incompletely loaded document during "partial display".
Normally, i.e. without this option, key input gets "swallowed" or "used up"
by the quasi-asynchronous checks even if they are not 'z' etc. or keys that
have meaning during partial display (meaningless keys just get ignored).
With this option, key input only gets read when lynx is ready to act on it.
- This can be used (a) by people who like to always have predictable
type-ahead (and don't care for 'z'apping and partial display scrolling), (b)
to achieve predictable reaction to keys if lynx is used under some scripting
environment that feeds it input like expect, and (c) for scripting a lynx
session by feeding it keyboard-like character input via input redirection
from a file or pipe (a simpler alternative to b, without the need for expect
or similar).
- Point (c) could be called "poor man's scripting". Note that the input has
to be provided in a raw form (as lynx would see it when it is actually sent
by keys), including raw control characters and escape sequences if necessary.
This patch does not change anything in the way such input is read and parsed,
other that what is explicitly described here. (This paragraph is only here
to explain the context, it does not describe new features.) P.m.s. will only
work as expected if lynx, on a given platform and with the display library
chosen, uses standard input for reading keyboard input. This is the case
with ncurses and possibly other curses implementations, but not with slang,
on Unix-like platforms, and cannot work on platforms where lynx gets keyboard
input in the form of platform- or implementation-specific keycodes (DOS,
Windows - except with Cygwin?) instead of as an octet stream.
- The -nozap option takes an argument. The basic functionality as already
described gets invoked if the argument is not a specially recognized keyword
(it is suggested that -nozap=full or -nozap=all be used). The only
recognized keyword is "initially". With -nozap=initially, additional special
behavior is invoked the first time (and *only* the first time) when lynx
encounters an error or EOF when reading key input. (Currently this will not
get detected if slang with USE_KEYMAPS is used.) In this, case, -nozap
reverts to the default state ('z' will be checked for again). Under some
conditions are true (key input was taken from stdin, and stdin was not
connected to a terminal), lynx will then attempt to reopen stdin, connecting
it to a terminal (stdout, stderr, and the process's controlling tty are
tried, in that order - this is subject to change if something would be more
reasonable).
- The -nozap=initially special behavior will get triggered if input comes
from a file or pipe (p.m.s. above) when the provided characters are "used
up". Normally lynx should then just exit. The special behavior hands
control of the session to the interactive user instead at that point. All
code for -nozap is only compiled in if preprocessor symbol MISC_EXP is
explicitly defined.
* ifdef'd some places for MINGW32 (diffs from Victor Schneider)
* remove 'host' variable in LYGetHostByName() that obscured module-level
'host[]' array in HTTCP.c for _WINDOWS_NSL configuration (patch by SH,
discussion by KW) -TD
* the Newline variable is now PRIVATE except the mouse code in LYStrings.c -LP
* modify HTDOS.c for Wattcp targets (Watt-32 and original wattcp). When Lynx
is sitting idle in getxkey() waiting for a keypress, no network functions are
called. Hence no sockets are processed, "ICMP Echo replies" is sent etc.
This patch has been tested with SLang and '-DDJGPP_KEYHANDLER' I'm not sure
how to hook into 'SLkp_getkey()' or keyboard polling in performed under raw
PDCurses (Gisle Vanem <gvanem@eunet.no>)
* update docs for -tna instead of --sticky_inputs -KW
* document extended KEYMAP syntax in lynx.cfg -KW
* update Users Guide for KEYMAP changes, especially the TEXTAREA-related
sections -KW
* move text on ^V a bit to better place, provide a couple links to it -KW
* add blurb about TRST to Users Guide. Also mention external scripts for table
handling -KW
* revise section in Supported URLs on internal schemes. Toned down, provide
rationale, give examples -KW
* fix a few typos in README.TRST -LP

* add checks for null pointers in CTRACE statements in HTML.c (based on report

* add a note to Lynx_Users_Guide.html#lynx.cfg on "g lynxcfg:" -LP,HN
* change LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: to a link from LYNXCFG: -LP
* slightly reorganize partial mode logic: 'display_partial' variable is now
initialized directly in HText_new(), no need for specialized semaphore any
more -LP
* Allow KEYMAP directives in lynx.cfg of extended form
KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:editaction[:sel], where lynxkey and lynxaction are
as before, editaction is a line-editor action like FORW, BACK, ERASE etc.
and sel selects the line-editor style to be affected (as a number, starting
with 1 for the Default Binding; or 0 for all styles (the default); or a
negative number -n meaning "all line-editor styles except n"). See Line
Editor Help pages for keywords to use as editaction. This includes PASS
(which was already implemented), for "passing" on the key when line-editing
form fields so that the normal lynxaction will be invoked.
(KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:DIRED is also still possible for defining a Dired
mode binding).
This is based on a patch from IZ which introduced combined definitions
in a .lynx-keymaps file in the form:
setkey "\200s" LAC:LEFT_LINK/BACKW # C-left
setkey "\200t" LAC:RIGHT_LINK/FORWW # C-right
Combined definitions in .lynx-keymaps are also supported in this patch, but
the syntax was changed to use another ':' instead of '/' as separator. Note
that there is no need to support .lynx-keymaps (i.e., compile with
USE_KEYMAPS defined) for using the extended KEYMAP lynx.cfg directive with
this patch -KW
* avoid access to uninitialized members in TRSTable.c -KW
* limit span values accepted for TRST with TRST_MAXCOLSPAN and TRST_MAXROWSPAN,
which can be changed in userdefs.h. Without imposing a limit, attempts to
trick lynx into allocating huge blocks of memory (which might cause thrashing
without apparent reason) with something like ROWSPAN=10000000 are just too
easy -KW
* moved definition of SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE to userdefs.h. You may want to
undefine it for a platform where running out of memory is a frequent problem
(DOS?), although the effect won't be very pronounced. Used in TRST code to
affect size of some allocations (also used as before for
HTSprintf0/HTSprintf) -KW
* implement COLSPAN=0 and ROWSPAN=0 according to HTML 4.01 (not HTML 4.0). The
span extends until the end of the current column group and row group (i.e.
next THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY), respectively; or until the end of the row or table,
respectively, if there is no containing group (thus acting as per HTML 4.0).
Also cancel effect of all ROWSPANs at a THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY boundary (problem
with other browser described and behavior proposed by G James Berigan in
<http://www.war-of-the-worlds.org/html/span-vs-group.html>) -KW
* 'prev_target' is now PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c [defined outside of mainloop()];
this undoes some 2.8.3dev.15 changes. -LP, KW
* replace HText_pageDisplay() calls from partial mode (LYUtils.c and
HTFormat.c) with LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() function implemented in
LYMainLoop.c, it simply calls HText_pageDisplay() but has access to
LYMainLoop.c PRIVATE variables. -LP, KW
* make ^X a prefix key in all Line Edit styles. That means ^V should never be
needed any more to invoke the special textarea commands (but it's still
supported). Updates to help files to reflect this change -KW
* don't produce a link from the KEYMAP page to a help file. The one we used to
use doesn't really help -KW
* correction in code executed after textarea external editing (that determines
when to prompt for re-wrapping): use start_anchor not anchor_ptr. Without
this correction, invalid memory access could occur. (This was probably also
responsible for producing the prompt when it shouldn't be produced in some
cases, as has been reported.) -KW
* some tweaks of Novice mode help lines: don't show wrong key "to delete all
text in field" (FORM_NOVICELINE_TWO); replaced an occurrence of <delete> with
<backspace>. In some cases (e.g., disabled fields), prefer no info to wrong
info -KW
* extended KEYMAP option: additional field can specify DIRED to request
mapping in the Dired mode key_override table rather than the normal keymap
table. Documented the DIRED field and default override mapping in
lynx.cfg -KW
* corrected KEYMAP display for dired mode. It could display the normal binding
when that wouldn't actually be used, for example if a key is bound to
DO_NOTHING for DIRED. The logic deciding whether to show a separate line for
uppercase letters was only looking at the normal keymap -KW
* reset the edit_mode flag (indication of Dired mode) in various places, so the
flag doesn't stat TRUE after a new page has been loaded. For example,
invoking the forms based 'O'ptions page from a Dired directory view would
leave the Dired key bindings enabled within the Options page -KW
* for LYNXMESSAGES: page of recent statusline messages, removed setting of the
LYforce_no_cache flag in getfile(). Set the flag in LYMainLoop.c instead,
but only for following a link. This makes the page act more like a normal
no-cache document, for example returning to it via PREV_DOC does not cause an
automatic update. The special handling in LYMainLoop.c is necessary because
the link to LYNXMESSAGES: appears on the History Page, and following a link
from the History Page (as well as some other generated user interface pages)
normally implies overriding of no-cache behavior which we don't want in this
case -KW
* in LYNXMESSAGES: page, number recent statusline messages in historic order,
starting with 1 for the oldest. This should make it more obvious that they
are listed latest-first. Add "(No messages yet)" text if there are no
messages. Removed generation of invalid <pre> -KW
* use a temporary file instead of the normal .lynxrc file for saving and
restoring current settings in reload_read_cfg(). This avoids unexpected side
effects of lynx.cfg reloading (LYNXCFG://reload action), i.e. silent
modification or first-time generation of .lynxrc contents. In principle this
should make reloading of lynx.cfg usable for accounts that don't allow saving
of personal settings (i.e. option_save restriction, implied by -anonymous)
if other restrictions don't forbid it; but currently the option_save
restriction is still obeyed for saving to the temporary file (so that
reloading of lynx.cfg is prevented) -KW
* tweaks for LYNXCFG: and LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: pages: honor REUSE_TEMPFILES
setting if pages need to be regenerated, and clean up the memory for holding
the file URLs in free_lynx_cfg(). Recover if the tempfile has unexpectedly
disappeared, by regenerating it. Also regenerate tempfile if NOCACHE key
('x') is used. Added extra checks before doing automatic uncaching of
previous page in LYNXCFG://reload code, to test whether the previous page is
really a LYNXCFG: view -KW
* corrected problems with "show color" in forms Options page. Omit "ON" choice
if color is not possible (but saving allowed). When option_save restriction
was in effect, the ON/OFF initialization was wrong (resulting in unwanted
toggling of color each time options were changed in an anonymous account) -KW
* tweaks of reload_read_cfg() for retaining "show color" setting and for
updating display_lines (user_mode may have changed) -KW
* change for HTParse: if there is a hostname part, recognize a '?' as ending
it if there are no further slash characters -KW
* tweaks in configure.in and INSTALLATION: describe correctly what
--disable-dired-override does. Rename --disable-dired-archive to
--disable-dired-dearchive. Clarified INSTALLATION text for
--disable-full-paths. Changed some "define" to "prevent defining" -KW
* don't try to put cursor in last screen position for hiding in
show_main_statusline if -show_cursor/SHOW_CURSOR is on. The show_cursor
behavior may have been turned on to avoid problems with curses libs or
terminal types that cannot deal with it correctly. On pages with no links,
for example SOURCE display, this may leave the cursor at the end of the
statusline message if show_cursor is on. This just restores previous
versions' behavior in that case. On pages with links, the movement is
unnecessary anyway since the cursor will move again to the current link -KW
* removed a bug in automatic textarea growing. Textarea would grow by
one line unnecessarily if enter was used on the last input line on a
screen (if that was not actually the last line in the textarea). New
function HText_TAHasMoreLines() to help with this -KW
* revision of "nonsticky" behavior / options. Got rid of "sticky" terminology.
Renamed the controlling option to TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION and command line
flag -tna.
Compiling in of this mode can be disabled, see in userdefs.h under
TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION. Two versions of "Textfields Need
Activation" mode are provided. The default mode (simpler yet better IMO)
highlights an inactive selected text input fields like a current normal
anchor. The alternative variant (may go away later?) behaves like VH's
previous implementation and gets used when compiling with
-DINACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH.
Many bugs that would occur in somewhat unusual circumstances are fixed, for
both variants. (Action of various commands on TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields,
interaction with mouse selection, ...) Selecting an inactive input field with
the mouse will activate it. Various tweaks to make sure selecting a field in
this way will put the editing cursor at the right position (even if the line
had been scrolled / might be scrolled on entering the line editor), at least
with NCURSES mouse support. Also, -show_cursor now in general works as
expected. (In the INACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH variant, cursor may sometimes end
up on the statusline after error messages.) -KW
* treat input lines of the same textarea more like one entity, as far as
"Textfields Need Activation" is concerned, as long as movement among those
lines is with PREV_LINK/UP_LINK/LPOS_PREV_LINK/NEXT_LINK/DOWN_LINK/
LPOS_NEXT_LINK or ACTIVATE keys (the last one only if TEXTAREA_AUTOGROW is
defined, for consistency with line-appending behavior). I.e. moving among
textarea lines with those keys automatically activates ('enters') the new
field for line editing if the previous one was activated -KW
* modified statusline messages to be more appropriate and specific on non-
activated form fields. (The additional messages are not used or compiled
in if TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION isn't defined.) Avoid unnecessary
repainting/refreshing of the physical statusline in many cases of moving
among fields and links. Make sure the additional lines shown in Novice
mode are also appropriate -KW
* modified line editor behavior on "disabled" form text fields: instead of
disabling all non-terminating edit keys, allow those that never modify the
field contents. The user can now scroll through a long value in a disabled
field with the arrow keys, rather than being stuck at the end -KW
* the ncurses mouse popup window would overlap the statusline in Novice mode.
Limit the overlap to border area (so at least no significant text gets
corrupted) -KW
* modified code for stickiness of the second kind (ex-STICKY_FIELDS) according
to preliminary proposal from Vlad. Named LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT.
Does not depend on any conditional compilation symbols, and is now unrelated
to the other kind of "stickiness" discussed above. See lynx.cfg. This isn't
optimal yet (LAKABOFTIF discussion etc..), but better than leaving it as it
was -KW
* made default width of textarea fields (if no COLS attribute given) depend on
window or screen width, instead of using a fixed default of "60". I.e. for
wider windows make better use of available space, and for narrows windows
avoid wrapped textarea lines. Take the usual left/right margins (depending
on current block style) into account. But for -dump don't make fields longer
than 60 anyway (they will just show up as blocks of underscores anyway, not
showing text content) -KW
* changes in code used to create new bookmark file after a bookmark has been
'R'emoved. Change should only affect Unix. Basically, revert back to
behavior used before 2.8.1dev.8 for "normal" files (no symlinks or extra
hard links). I.e. use rename / maybe try "mv" instead of "cp", then change
permission bits explicitly. Using "cp" means running the risk of losing or
truncating the user's bookmark file if for example the disk became full
(although these occasions should be rare - the scratch file we are trying
to copy or rename was written just before without error, usually on the
same filesystem). Some more comments in LYBookmark.c. Note: if you like
your bookmark files, make backup copies of them anyway... -KW
* changed F1 key bindings so it always invokes DWIMHELP, also in the Line
Editor (for all three Binding tables). This means that pressing F1 (if you
have it, and it is correctly mapped and recognized) while in a text form
field will now bring up the Line Editor Help Page for the currently selected
line edit style. Other keys bound to HELP by default ('?', 'h') remain
unchanged, they still always go to the main Help Page -KW
* don't let DWIMHELP show Line Editor help for a text input field that is
disabled -KW
* don't mangle a -cookie_file like /home/user/.lynx_cookies.~1~, only interpret
the '~' as reference to HOME if it's right at the beginning and followed by
'/' and then some more. There are probably other instances where '~' gets
mistreated (in addition to the intentional dropping of "user" from something
like "~user/" in file URLs etc.) -KW
* changed type of EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT tables to LYKbLayout_t. They hold
Unicode values, any similarity to LYKeymap_t is just accidental -KW
* changed EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT logic so that input characters that are
unrepresentable in the current display character set (unless it is UTF-8) get
transformed into '?' instead of some accidentally chosen 8-bit character.
For UTF-8, convert to UTF-8 encoding instead. Note the Line Editor isn't yet
UTF-8 aware; with some care it is possible to enter UTF-8 text, but the
display will be messed up, esp. the cursor position will be shown wrong -KW
* some corrections for TPOS, YANK enhanced lineedit functions -KW
* added back in a block in LYmbcsstrlen that got lost somehow -KW
* fix an array boundary accident in GridText.c -JB
* reiterate that LYNXCGI_LINKS is set by the configure script -PW
* note that patches should be generated by "diff -u" -PG
* modify HTReadProgress so that setting SHOW_KB_RATE false will let the
amount read be shown in bytes/sec -DK
* modify mkdirs.sh to ignore DOS-style device -IZ
* modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro to accept DOS-style path syntax, for
use in OS/2 EMX port -IZ
* fix some memory leaks in visited-pages tree -IZ
* correct recent change to LYEditmap.c for EBCDIC -PG
* change 'elf32ppc' to 'elf32ppc*' in config.guess to work on MkLinux DR3
(reported by Christopher Conrade Zseleghovski (kkz@MIMUW.EDU.PL>) -TD
* add check to HTConfirmDefault() to ensure that NLS form of "yes" and "no"
are distinct in the first character, revert to English if not -TD
* add configure test for wredrawln, and use CF_CURSES_FUNCS -TD
* improve CF_TERMCAP_LIBS configure test -TD
1999-11-17 (2.8.3dev.15)
* 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 (Victor Schneider)
* 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 <vtailor@gte.net>)
* update dependencies in makefile.bcb for src/TRSTable.c -SH
* 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 -VH
* notes (VH):
+ Seems that 'OPT' stuff doesn't contain errors. Let's enable it for several
releases, and then remove alternative code.
+ Added comments about pools.
+ Docs updated to reflect new functionality of -dont-wrap-pre
* old psrcview bug fixed - markup was unbalanced in some situations -VH
* content of SAMP tag made justifiable -VH
* implemented HTStyleChange pooling - sizeof(HTStyleChange) is 4 times smaller
than before, and only necessary number of stylechanges is allocated now,
instead of some constant (1024 by default) -VH
* functionality of dont-wrap-pre improved and extended. Now it's possible to
avoid wrapping the document being dumped completely (size of the non-wrapped
line before the patch was limited by MAX_LINE = 1024 by default). Specifying
-dont-wrap-pre with interactive session enables wrapped lines (in PRE) to
be marked as in source view - with '+' in normal view -VH
* functionality of -force-empty-hrefless-a was cleaned up,
#ifndefs NO_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A and endif's were removed -VH
* colorstyle changes are not emitted in HTML_end_element if me->skip_stack was
>0 on entry to this function. This caused some glitches if
-force-empty-hrefless-a was enabled -VH
* LYPrettySrc.c was slightly cleaned up, added support for lynx.cfg reloading,
memory deallocation -VH
* possible bug in print_wwwfile_to_fd fixed - when quoting the page, seems that
several '>'s could be emitted on the long line formed by concatenating lines
with LY_SOFT_NEWLINEs at the beginning of them -VH
* general notes (VH):
+ users of lss-enabled lynx should consider on upgrading the lynx - at least
those who use lynx for viewing huge files. By default, each line on the
screen took 1K for colorstyles (on x86). With new approach colorstyle
changes take 24 bytes (on x86) per line in average document. Old lynx with
900K html file loaded as startfile occupied 30M of virtual memory, lynx
with patch applied occupied 5 Mb on the same file. Old code is still
accessible by defining OLD_STYLECHANGE.
+ I spent 4 hours debugging attempting to write/fix code that cleans up the
memory allocated in LYPrettySrc.c, but Lynx.leaks shows that I didn't
succeeded. I fear that leak detection stuff is broken - I checked/traced
the code very carefully several times.
> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW:
* for confirmation prompts (HTConfirm), also accept English letters 'Y', 'y',
'N', 'n' as responses. If characters different from those are derived from
the first letters of the translation of "yes" and "no" in a localized lynx,
the latter will still be the ones that appear in the prompt text and will
have precedence. Message translations using multibyte character sets should
continue to *not* translate "yes" and "no". Added a note to that effect.
* small update for some chartrans tables, minor comment changes.
* for Unix, use LYSystem instead of system for invoking telnet, rlogin,
rtn3270 commands.
[ For some non-Unix systems, LYSystem messes around with the passed command
string in various ways, and does some other stuff for DJGPP. So no change
for those, since I assume it worked before. For Unix the change prevents
the following occurring with ncurses (at least if USE_SIGACTION is
defined):
- access some (valid) telnet://some.host URL.
- within telnet client, escape to command level (usually '^]')
- suspend (usually 'z' or ^Z)
- resume (fg). Lynx process gets woken up, redraws lynx screen,
screen & tty state get messed up. ]
* another tweak for display refreshing when text previously displayed
had UTF-8 (for ncurses) - a check in display_page was missing.
* corrected stupid problem in LYGetFileInfo - invalid memory access.
* corrected and extended handling for textarea INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA
(or DWIMEDIT), the previous patch wasn't quite right:
- now really truncate very long lines as intended for INSERTFILE, instead of
wrapping with loss of one character.
- for EDITTEXTAREA (DWIMEDIT), implement wrapping instead of truncation
(Rationale for the difference: user's editing work shouldn't be lost if we
can avoid it; it is only temporarily stored in a file which may be
unrecoverable, different from the typical INSERTFILE case.) If, upon
returning from the external editor, lines are encountered that don't fit in
the displayed width of the textarea fields, the user may be given the
option to wrap to that width. (This prompt may not be given when the first
such line has no suitable spaces for breaking - the file may be binary
garbage after all, not worth fixing up too much.) Line breaking is
attempted at spaces if possible (using isspace() for checking), but not if
the only available spaces are close to the beginning of a line. An attempt
is made to join the wrapped part of a line (if not too long) with the next
line if it is not indented, by suppressing the next line break (if not too
far away). Some other heuristics are used that work reasonably well for
normal text paragraphs.
If the above mechanisms fail, or the user did not confirm wrapping when
prompted, very long lines will still be wrapped to fit into the buffer size
(around 1024 chars).
[ The wrapping works quite nicely in "normal" cases - please try it! ]
* mouse action in popups would lead to call of fancy_mouse() with wrong row
number, which could lead to messed-up display as well as invalid memory
access.
* The previous changes in link redrawing made things worse instead of better
for UTF-8 display with ncurses (without color style). This time (using
wredrawln, not touchline) it should really get better...
[ The UTF-8 related changes would need testing with non-ncurses curses libs,
if anyone has one of those AND a working UTF-8 environment - late xterm
betas(?) from Tom's site should do. If the functions used for ncurses are
available in other curses libs, the code should probably look the same as
for ncurses. ]
* SGML.c to compile without --enable-prettysrc (reported by HN) -KW
* fixes an invalid memory problem from previous patch
* adds alignment inheritance from COLGROUP / COL / THEAD / TFOOT / TBODY.
* remove some logic from LYmbcsstrlen() that gave an incorrect count for
the number of cells displaying multibyte characters, resulting in too-few
cells being highlighted (reported by HN, SH) -KW
* added support for ROWSPAN attribute of TD and TH to TRST. This only
reserves the appropriate amount of space in subsequent lines.
[ Pages that show off ROWSPAN nicely:
<http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/domain-hello.html>
and related ones for other "domain"s. (Verify that there really
is a ROWSPAN= in the current version.) View with a screen width
of 100. With 80 there is some kind of problem, compare both
^V settings... ]
* some corrections in TRST code.
* change initialization order of key escape sequence mappings for slang, so
that terminfo/termcap information always overrides defaults that may
conflict.
* minimal memory cleanup / leak prevention for EXP_FILE_UPLOAD error
cases in GridText.c.
* in HText_SubmitForm, don't change the post_content_type of the
passed in newdoc structure unless that is really wanted.
* tweaked UTF-8 prevention of display library wrapping/truncation to make
better use of available width for centered text, and to not apply if dumping
to stdout.
* for UTF-8 output with ncurses, do a clearok in display_page also if the page
that was *previously* displayed had UTF-8 characters. Without this there
were still display glitches.
* made previous changes to SGML.c and HTMLDTD for handling OBJECT more generic.
* minor tweaks, cleanups, glitch removal in previous changes.
* better tracking of HTSprintf0/HTSprintf with --enable-find-leaks
(-DLY_FIND_LEAKS). This can be disabled in LYLeaks.h by removing the
definition of LY_FIND_LEAKS_EXTENDED.
* added variant behavior in StrAllocVsprintf to make HTSprintf0/HTSprintf use
less memory allocation calls and keep its temporary string buffers across
calls. The buffers then only grow and never get cleaned up. This is enabled
by defining SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE in HTString.c, disable the definition there
in case of problems.
* added code so HTSprintf0/HTSprintf can use vasprintf() in some situations,
which should be more efficient. It also works with --enable-find-leaks
(EXTENDED or not). This only comes into play if USE_VASPRINTF is defined
(not defined automatically anywhere).
[ For me (some Debian glibc version), the prototype for this function
is in stdio.h but only gets included with an explicit -D_GNU_SOURCE. ]
[ Which of the four combinations with/without vasprintf, with/without
SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE is better (if any) remains to be tested. I have seen
drastic differences under leak tracking, but that's just too much
different from a normal situation to count for anything. ]
* Some minor leaks fixed. (LYMainLoop.c)
[ Had to make owner_address and ownerS_address file-wide PRIVATE's
instead of auto to unleak them. Could be taken out of more
argument lists now. ]
* HTFile.c: correction in FormatNum (could duplicate fields for some
LIST_FORMAT settings), avoid some HTSprintf0 calls in FormatStr.
* replaced calls to HTSprintf with calls to HTSprintf0 in various files.
* added missing include of LYLeaks.h in LYPrettySrc.c. But disabled memory
tracking there, too many allocations show up as leaks.
* allow digits in tagspec for -prettysrc.
* the 'fixit' change of 1999-05-16 didn't really let LYConvertToURL() revert to
the right old behavior in the non-'g' use. Now return a file URL for the
nonexisting file in the relevant situation again, as before 1998-03-25,
instead of an erroneous "file://localhost" which (on Unix-like systems at
least) would result in access to the root directory. This change (like the
changes of 1999-05-16 and 1998-03-25) only matters for strings that aren't
already in absolute URL form, don't start with a slash (or, for DOSPATH
systems, other path separator) either, and don't get turned into remote URLs
by successful 'guessing' and DNS lookup. None of the changes affect VMS.
* protect INSERTFILE and EDITTEXTAREA from generating memory access violations
if the inserted file has lines that are too long for the buffer used. An
alert message is issued and the long lines are truncated. Also don't exit if
memory allocation fails for the buffer to hold the whole file, since the only
reason for the failure may be that the file is too huge when otherwise lynx
has enough memory.
* improved handling of some invalid constructs in SGML, especially
'<' followed by various characters; don't lose those characters from
what gets displayed for -prettysrc.
* a pre-filled TEXTAREA text that needed charset translation could cause
use of an invalid pointer when building the page, resulting in garbage
data being displayed (or worse). The problem was in HTML.c, not related
to TEXTAREA editing or other related new functions.
[ preceding three were partially already in previous patch ]
* recognize '<?' as introducing an SGML PI. Within most elements' content (or
outside of any elements) this makes no effective difference except for TRACE
messages and -prettysrc, the input is still junked up to the next '>' as for
a completely invalid tag. Within PCDATA elements the PI is now also ignored
instead of being treated as character data, this makes a difference for
example in a TEXTAREA in SortaSGML mode. (PI's aren't really expected to
occur in the middle of HTML, but are used at the beginning of XHTML documents
and other XML documents.)
* the earlier change of TEXTAREA handling (treating as SGML_PCDATA, SortaSGML
only) created a problem, some lynx special characters were passed on as data
characters in the field contents and would mess up line editing and possibly
the submitted form data. Actually the problem also existed before, but only
for non break space, soft hyphen etc. encoded directly as character data
(not NCRs or entities). Resolved by telling SGML.c not to generate lynx
special chars for some element contents (currently only TEXTAREA), with new
flag Tgf_nolyspcl.
* corrected some logic errors in LYUCFullyTranslateString. Special attribute
characters are now more often translated to real characters when 'Back' flag
is set, and should now be translated to the *right* characters for the target
charset. (They were sometimes converted to ISO-8859-1 values when the 'to'
charset was different.)
* added a missing significant cast in UCReverseTransChar.
* for scrollbar mouse clicking, use codes that work independent of current
line-editor key bindings.
* better calculation of "subjective distance" from next anchor for mouse.
Change of 1999-07-30 had various problems, it wasn't quite intuitive. Use
scaled numbers for finer granularity. Don't make "basin of attraction" too
wide, or it becomes hard to find a "background" spot to click on that doesn't
affect a link if a page has a high density of links.
[ For example with a pair of fields:
Submit Reset
xxx
clicking in any of the positions marked 'x' on the next line would
select the first field, not the second. That was not an improvement. ]
* functions LYmbcsstrlen, LYno_attr_mbcs_case_strstr, and LYno_attr_mbcs_strstr
in LYStrings.c where unclear about the concept of 'printable' or 'physical'
used for some returned values in the CJK case. Callers expected number of
display cells, implemented was number of 'characters' counting full-width
characters as 1 instead of 2. Now these functions take an additional
argument 'count_gcells' that tells them how to count.
This removes some long-standing, somewhat obscure problems with search target
highlighting under CJK display character sets, as well as new (and less
obscure) CJK problems introduces by the latest changes for highlighting.
Also fixed some details in the *strstr functions. The positioning of the
highlighting in CJK mode should now be correct and work as expected (as for
other display character sets) for anchors, search targets, and combinations
of both.
* reorganized LYOpenTempRewrite. It should finally make sense for systems
without HAVE_TRUNCATE defined.
* corrected SNACat (was unused).
* changes for SUP and SUB: Render SUP visibly as a '^' character if it needs
to be separated from a preceding character in order to prevent
misinterpretation. The test currently used is isxdigit for the the preceding
character. Render <SUB> and </SUB> always as brackets '[' and ']'
respectively. SUB is mostly used in technical material while SUP occurs
frequently in pages of general nature where it is not essential, therefore
the different treatment.
1999-10-21 (2.8.3dev.13)
* revert a change from 2.8.3dev.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 2.8.3dev.11 -SH
* tweak LYExecv() to exclude SH_EX conditional (dired commands didn't work
on non-Windows platforms when SH_EX defined) -LP
* fix a potential out-of-range pointer in HTParse - JB
* fix a small leak in the statusline history page - JB
* restore DELEL lineedit key binding in the Alternate map (which apparently was
changed in -2.8.3dev.4 to the DELNW function) to the ^K key -KED
* LYMainLoop.c: remove a dozen of unnecessary `refresh_screen' flags from
LYK_HISTORY, LYK_PRINT, LYK_LIST, LYK_ADDRLIST, LYK_VLINKS where a new html
page is generated (any document update that may be displayed in "partial
display" mode need not set `refresh_screen' flag) -LP
* correct some typos in cernrules.txt -VH
* move declaration of LastDisplayChar to make GridText.c compile with DJGPP -LP
> the remainder (most) of this patch from KW:
* HTFTP.c: (already sent w/o description - this is updated to dev.10)
- interrupted_in_next_data_char was not being reset. That could make all
subsequent FTP directory listings fail (by showing an empty directory)
after receipt of one directory listing had been interrupted.
- be nice, send quit before closing at least in the normal (non-interrupted
and successful) case. Some servers (wu-ftpd at least) otherwise complain
with "You could at least say goodbye" which in turn causes unnecessary RST
packets. To minimize round-trip delays, the QUIT is sent before we start
reading the returned data (but after the initial response to our retrieval
command).
- always close data connection immediately after we are done reading from it,
also for directory requests. This was already the case for file requests.
Some servers (including recent wu-ftpd beta) wait for indication that we
closed before proceeding.
- keep better track of closed sockets. Some more trace messages.
Some comments corrected.
* tabular representation for simple tables. See included file README.TRST.
* made User-Agent warning more friendly, and more specific. Tell the user what
lynx expects in order to avoid the warning. On the other hand, issue an
equivalent warning when -useragent is used. Change documentation
accordingly.
* don't send User-Agent header at all if it somehow would be blank.
* indicate on forms 'O'ptions Screen which options are not saved to .lynxrc.
* disable the form fields in the 'O'ptions Screen if the screen is generated
when FORMS_OPTIONS code is compiled in but not actually active.
* LYPrint.c: In subject_translate8bit (see OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET
option), use higher level function to charset-translate mail Subject
line, rather than low-level UCTransCharStr.
* UPPER8, UCForce8bitTOUPPER: was severely broken for UTF-8 display, making
WHEREIS search for strings containing non-ASCII characters impossible (and
probably with other bad effects). Now case mapping may still be wrong, but
at least identical strings compare as equal.
* LYHistory.c: Entification for saved statusline messages happened twice by
mistake.
* HTFWriter.c: Made code for automatic decompression of bzip2 files
conditional on BZIP2_PATH. Such files should be treated as normal binary
files on systems without bzip2. The configure seems to always define
BZIP2_PATH, but it could be undefined manually.
* HTFWriter.c: Use LYRemoveTemp instead of remove in some cases, to avoid
keeping those files in the temp file list after they are long gone.
* HTTCP.c: Check whether port numbers in URLs are really numbers.
* HTPlain.c:
- deal with backspace formatting as used in formatted man pages.
(No highlighting, only avoid double output of characters)
- pass on 0xAD (soft hyphen) character in more cases.
* HTNews.c: Prevent some ways that could trick lynx into treating a regular
"news:" or "nntp:" URL as something else, like snewspost. Extra check in
LYNews.c whether posing is allowed. Return with an error message in some
cases of URLs that are too long, instead of silently truncating. Make HEAD
work again on news articles. Some memory leaks in error path removed. A
message tweak.
* HTFormat.c: HTStreamStack: avoid some unnecessary work, add a trace message
to show what is returned.
* SGML.c: some cleanup of ugly ifdefs, and of unnecessary abuse of global
variables. (still a lot left!)
* handle INCLUDE and CDDATA marked sections: output the contents.
* parse various elements differently that had/have special requirements or
hacks. Extend meaning of Tgf_strict for literal-like content modes. Use
SGML_CDATA in some cases (and treat it similar to SGML_LITTERAL), use
SGML_PCDATA for literal-like parsing (but if modified by Tgf_strict it's
more like regular SGML_MIXED). A '<' that would start a tag gets displayed
(since not element content is allowed that's just error recovery). Comments
now work in TEXTAREA instead of getting displayed as text (SortaSGML mode
only).
* minor tweak of sorta SGML handling for invalid end tag if start tag could be
validly omitted.
* more consistent and correct recognition of element names. The characters
"_-.:" don't end tag names.
* improved handling of '/' after element name in a tag: "<foo/>" is treated as
an empty element (as in XML). If we recognize "foo" as an empty element, do
nothing special; and if we recognize "foo" as a non-empty element; convert to
"<foo></foo>". "<foo/bar/" is treated as a shortref construct, by converting
to "<foo>bar</foo>" (for non-empty and recognized "foo"). This is not
general as it would have to be for or real SGML parser, in particular '/' is
only treated this way if it directly follows the element name, and it may not
even be quite right. It is better than the recovery lynx previously did in
these cases though.
* changed handling of include buffer which is used to pass back data
from HTML.c to SGML.c. Passing data upstream now works without strange
reordering effects even when SGML_character was already parsing data from
a previous include buffer.
Character set translation would happen several times on data passed back
to SGML_character in the include buffer for re-parsing. This is now
avoided. Well at least in most cases, and for characters that *can* be
translated, there are likely combinations of input and output character
sets where the assumptions made are still wrong.
* the start_element and end_element methods of structured stream class now
return a status code. Currently only used for the OBJECT stuff below.
* mostly HTML.c, SGML.c: Changed handling of OBJECT and MAP.
- avoid using the include buffer mechanism as much as possible. This
involves introducing some new special handling in SGML.c to change parsing
mode for element contents, and a way for HTML_{start,end}_element to signal
to SGML_character what it should do. In most cases when the OBJECT element
content should be parsed and displayed, SGML_character now only needs one
pass through the data.
- don't lose content when several OBJECTs are nested.
- in HTML 4, an OBJECT with USEMAP attribute can refer to a MAP within the
OBJECT's content, possibly within nested inner OBJECTs. Lynx would fail to
find the MAP in that case, now it doesn't.
- in HTML 4, MAP can contain arbitrary block elements in addition to AREA.
Lynx now shows such block content, even if it occurs within (possibly
nested) OBJECTs with USEMAP whose contents we would otherwise skip.
Sometimes we may show too much now, by generating a LYNXIMGMAP link as well
as showing block content or by showing more of the OBJECT content than what
is within a MAP, but that is preferable to losing data.
- treat an A tag with COORDS attribute as equivalent to an AREA when it is
within MAP, for the purpose of collecting links for LYNXIMGMAP.
- as a fallback, internally redirect a LYNXIMGMAP request to the position of
the MAP element in the normally rendered text of the document containing
the MAP, if it is known that the MAP element exists and just doesn't
contain any AREA (or equivalent A-with-COORDS) links. It is assumed that
in such a case there is some block content within the MAP that is rendered
normally.
* HTFile.c: new function LYGetFileInfo.
* HTAnchor.c: new function HTAnchor_findSimpleAddress.
* new function HTStartAnchor5.
* modified the way link text is (re-)drawn by function highlight. The bulk of
processing now happens in new function LYMoveToLink. The data of the
containing line is now scanned from the beginning, using the same logic as in
display_line to make sure that lynx and the display library have the same
idea of where in the line the link starts. In UTF-8 output mode, parts of
the line preceding the link are also repainted if this is necessary.
Refreshing of the physical line is forced if necessary in UTF-8 mode. For
anchors split across lines, the new approach is currently only used for the
first line.
This change is not in effect for lynx with color style. In that case
highlighting already is sometimes done in a similar similar, but not quite
the same, separate function.
* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for hypertext links. Now this is done
in the same pass as drawing the normal link text, in LYMoveToLink. This
avoids problems in UTF-8 display mode. It also avoids a lot of complicated
and extremely hard to understand older code in highlight(), but that code is
still there for use by lynx with color style and for other remaining cases
(non-hypertext anchors, second line highlighting).
* modified WHEREIS target highlighting for general text. Instead of first
writing each line's characters in display_line, then scanning again through
the line's data for portions to highlight and repainting those parts after in
display_page, this is now done in one pass within display_line. However,
this isn't (yet?) done for lynx with color style which still uses the old
code.
* these last three changes reduce problems that occur when using UTF-8 display
character set (in an appropriate terminal environment that understands it, of
course). Most of them don't apply with color style lynx, so it continues to
have more UTF-8 problems. Pages with mostly ASCII characters should be more
or less ok. Problems that otherwise are not visible become apparent in
search highlighting, and after ^Z / fg.
* GridText.c: More changes to deal with problems caused by using UTF-8 output
with a display library that isn't aware of it. Break line with UTF-8 before
curses does it. This causes lines that are too short, effectively the
rightmost part of a line cannot be used if there are UTF-8 encoded
characters. The alternative, letting curses wrap the line when it thinks it
got too long, is worse, so do it in lynx code instead.
* avoid memory overrun for very long lines in UTF-8 mode. Avoid splitting line
in the middle of a multibyte UTF-8 character.
* test for SHOW_WHEREIS_TARGETS instead of 'defined(FANCY_CURSES) ||
defined(USE_SLANG)'.
* initialize new textarea lines created by insert_new_textarea_anchor with
current display character set for value_cs. (The "cloned" value can be stale
in some cases if the user changed the display character set after the
document was last loaded - normally that should not happen). For a file
inserted into a textarea with INSERTFILE use new function LYGetFileInfo
instead to determine the file content's charset. Thus -assume_local_charset
and conventions based on file suffix should be honored.
* for Unix, added more specific error message if calling external editor for
textarea failed, based on the status returned by system().
* it is possible to require an additional prompt before Enter in
an input field causes form submission: define TEXT_SUBMIT_CONFIRM_WANTED,
explained in userdefs.h.
* some small changes to prevent overstepping string boundary (HTParse.c)
* extended SUFFIX option, added SUFFIX_ORDER option, see documentation in
lynx.cfg. The long list of built-in file suffix rules in HTInit.c can now be
disabled, either at compile time - see userdefs.h - or at run time. The
equivalent functionality is now available in lynx.cfg for those who want it.
Added comments, see HTFileInit in HTInit.c.
* various tweaks of built-in file suffix rules.
* allow XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND to be empty (in lynx.cfg) or NULL (in userdefs.h),
just don't use a default X viewer for image types in that case.
* moved UCGetUniFromUtf8String from LYCharUtils.c to UCAux.c.
* renamed LYUCFullyTranslateString -> LYUCTranslateHTMLString, and
LYUCFullyTranslateString_1 -> LYUCFullyTranslateString.
* tweaks for special chars in (what is now) LYUCFullyTranslateString, in
obscure cases (input fields of type password prefilled with unusual content)
lynx would pass text back to the server with special characters (soft hyphen
or non-break space) expressed as lynx-internal code values.
* added some replacement characters or strings to various chartrans tables.
* experimental command line option -convert_to, only compiled in if new
MISC_EXP symbol is defined. This takes a string in the form of a MIME type,
which can also be combined with an appended ";charset=" parameter. (This
needs shell quoting of course). The charset value can be used to set the
display character set from the command line. The MIME type can be one of the
non-official types used internally, for some interesting effects (crashing
lynx not excluded). Try www/download, www/source, www/dump, or some
unrecognized string.
* fixed HTMainText_Get_UCLYhndl, it was returning the wrong kind of charset
handle (a "UChndl", which is different from a "LYhndl" or "UCLYhndl" etc.,
and shouldn't be directly accessed by arbitrary bits of lynx code - it should
be regarded as private to the chartrans mechanism).
* protect various printf-like calls against crashes from strings with '%':
LYSyslog.
* LYDownload.c: made parsing of LYNXDOWNLOAD: URL slightly more robust.
* disabled some broken pieces.
1999-10-14 (2.8.3dev.12)
* fixes for restructured LYMainLoop.c (reported by PG, LP) -TD
* minor fix for makeutcb, to compile with K&R C -TD
1999-10-13 (2.8.3dev.11)
* restructured LYMainLoop.c, so the main switch statement calls functions
rather than doing everything inline. 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 JES) -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
<kubitovi@mbox.lantanet.cz>, KW, KED)
* remove a couple more duplicate includes -LP
* remove a couple of duplicate includes -JB (John Bley <jbley@cs.cmu.edu>)
* fix some missing ifdef's for win32 versus DOS, as well as change calls to
strcasecomp() to strncasecmp() -SH
* undo spurious change from win32 integration in 2.8.3dev.5 to HTSprintf0() which
causes a memory leak (reported by John Bley, analysis KW) -TD
* prevent embedded "%s" in generated messages from causing a core dump in
exit_immediately_with_error_message by using fputs rather than fprintf/printf
(reported by KW) -TD
* Changes in UCAuto.c for --enable-font-switch: Support some more code pages
if available. Check return code from setfont invocation, and use it to
determine whether font and/or translation map loading was successful.
Warning, this is not based on any documented interface but on
experimentation, so may not work for long or for anyone but me; it shouldn't
be worse than before though. Better logic for keeping track of state, some
parts just didn't work right. Workaround for wrong data in some distributed
font files. Minor memory leak removed -KW
* modify test/c1.html to use tabs for better formatting, added comments -KW
* modify HTFTP.c for better conformance with RFC959. Among other things, one
major purpose was ending the control conversation cleanly, at least in the
normal case, to get rid of the "221 You could at least say goodbye.."
responses from wu-ftpd servers and resulting RST traffic. In response to the
problem with ftp.wu-ftpd.org, made one small change to when the data_soc is
closed. This was done early for some specially code server types, apparently
those that has caused the same type of problem in the past; just changed it
to close data_soc at that point independent of server type -KW
* set CDPATH to . in the makefile.in's that use cd, in case user has set
CDPATH without . at the beginning -TD
1999-09-29 (2.8.3dev.10)
* change CTRACE macro to double-parenthesis form, to allow ifdef'ing most
trace statements -TD
* fix the creation of a new bookmark file and takes care that older bookmarks
files do not fall into the same bug anymore by making sure the <ol> tag is in
a line by itself. This correction will only be activated when the first
bookmark is attempted to be erased (patch by Eduardo Chappa)
* change a trace/error message in HTInit.c to say "Lynx" rather than
"metamail", to avoid confusion -HN
* change <tab> formatting in user's guide, etc., to <pre> 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 <jhawk@MIT.EDU>) -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 <giva@bryggen.bgnett.no>).
* fix mismatch of const's from call of map_string_to_keysym() in
lkcstring_to_lkc() -TD
* supply trailing slash for protocol_proxy settings (whether environment
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 -JES
* more fixes to build with slang under cygwin32 - DK
* add/use LYwaddstr(), etc to fix more const-casts (reported by PG) -TD
* modify HTTCP.c to prevent telnet and similar applications from inadvertently
using hostname tokens which look like command-line options -KW
* modify configure script's --with-charsets option so that if the option
--without-charsets is selected, then it will use a 'minimal' set. The
keyword 'minimal' is recognized as the list us-ascii,iso-8859-1,utf-8
(request by KW, HN) -TD
* ifdef'd recursive calls on UCGetLYhndl_byMIME() for charsets that may be not
present (--with-charsets), and add getLYhndl_byCP() to cover a special case
of recursion which was also a preexisting hole (reported by Frederic L W
Meunier, analysis by KW) -TD
* replace fr.po with a placeholder. Add placeholders for ru.po, pt_BR.po -JES
* 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 <arpa/inet.h> include to autoconf'd form -TD
* modify makeuctb to add ifdef's allowing most charsets to be suppressed at
compile time. Use similar ifdef's in UCdomap.h to suppress registration
of non-uctb charsets. Add configure option --with-charsets to specify list
of charsets which are not suppressed (def7_uni is always active) -TD
* change makeuctb to generate the name of the output file, simplifying all of
the build scripts in chartrans -TD
* correct a syntax error in crypt_util.c from 2.8.3dev.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
<jhawk@MIT.EDU>).
* 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) -TD
* 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 <Hn> inside <PRE></PRE> -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 -JES
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 2.8.3dev.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
NSH <nsh@itjit.ne.jp>, Eduardo Chappa)
* 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

* 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.
status:reverse:yellow:black
h1:bold:yellow:black
em.a:reverse:black:blue
em.b:reverse:white:black
font.letter:normal:default:black
link.blue:bold:white:brightblue
link.blue.prev:bold:yellow:brightblue
title:normal:magenta:black

li.blue:bold:blue:black
link.blue.next:bold:blue:black
normal:normal:default:default
INCLUDE:F:/emx.add/lib/lynx.lss
default:normal:brightcyan:blue
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 <yury.burkatovsky@telrad.co.il>) -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 SH's changes in
GridText.h, HTAlert.c and LYPrint.c (reported by LP) -TD
* restore 2.8.3dev.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
<demon@gpad.ac.ru>) -TD
* 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 2.8.3dev.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 E Davis)
* changes to use the WATT-32 tcp library, making a DOS port that does http,
ftp, news, mailto, and telnet -DK
Remaining work includes:
* This has been tested only with slang and the djgpp_keyhandler code. There
will probably need to be more changes to have this work properly with
PDCurses.
* There is at least one bug. When set to use http_proxy, there seems to be a
long wait between socket connect and write if the proxy is accessed too
rapidly in succession. It seems that if it is accessed more frequently
than about 20 seconds, there is a timeout of up to about 85 seconds.
* some problems with ctrl-break handling, will report to the watt-32 list.
* rename tcp.h to www_tcp.h -DK
* fix typo in manpage description of -color (Christian Hudon
<chrish@debian.org>).
* add $(LDFLAGS) to chrtrans/makefile.in, for NetBSD -JES
* use symbolic link rather than hard link for installing copyright files -TD
* now dashes and underscores can be intermixed in commandline options, and in
-restriction option, ifdef'd with OPTNAME_ALLOW_DASHES -VH
* added commandline switch '-dont_wrap_pre' that will inhibit line wrapping in
<pre> when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing. (But maximal length of line on output
can't exceed MAX_LINE (1023 by default)) -VH
* lynx.man updated to reflect new option -dont_wrap_pre and to note that gnu
style of options (with two dashes) is also supported -VH
* some small developer's docs tweaks -VH
* added text justification (controlled by commandline switch '-justify' and
from lynx.cfg too), ifdef'd with NO_JUSTIFY -VH
* added support for emitting backspaces (a-la man) - commandline option is
'-with-backspaces', ifdef'd with NO_DUMP_WITH_BACKSPACES -VH
* added support for forcing-empty-HREFless-As - ie A element that doesn't
contain HREF will be closed after it was seen (without waiting for </a>) -
this fixes rendering of documentation, produced by broken translators that
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
* changes for win32 by Hiroyuki Senshu <senshu@shonai-cit.ac.jp> 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 <DIV> that doesn't have an ALIGN="center" or
ALIGN="right" attribute like a <P> in that situation: break the line if
necessary but don't create an empty line, an keep list indentation. This
addresses Debian bug #21331 -KW
* other changes for DIV: it's a block element, so make sure its contents
doesn't get rendered inline, even for nested DIVs that don't change text
alignment. Try to avoid improperly kept change of DIV styles' alignment by a
<P> or </P> in its content -KW
* make "treating H# in a list as an LH" work also for SortaSGML parsing,
previously it only worked with TagSoup -KW
* removed special handling for empty last field from LYstrsep(), which made it
act differently from (GNU) C library's strsep() -KW
* macro DEFAULT_INVCHECK_BV for default invalid cookie checking behavior, can
be changed at top of LYCookie.c for those who really want that -KW
* reorganize code for invalid cookie checking / prompting somewhat, it is
hopefully easier to follow now, and should result in more logical prompting
(or not) if a cookie is invalid for more than one reason -KW
* change invalid cookie confirmation prompts to default to "no" answer. This
can prevent the impression that Lynx hangs because the prompt is not
completely visible. There should be a better way to ensure that all prompts
are recognizable as such (at least with "normal" screen widths) -KW
* use more of the available statusline width for showing cookie name and value
in normal cookie prompts -KW
* handle \" in quoted cookie values, so that the quote char doesn't end the
value string -KW
* write quoted cookie values to cookie file with the quotes ('"' chars). When
the cookie file is read, assume that quoted strings are quoted cookie values.
It would be better to have a separate flag stored, but we are limited by the
choice of the Netscape-compatible file format. This should resolve Debian
bug #35523 -KW
* handle empty value strings like any other cookie values: they can be kept in
the cookie jar (in memory), and can be written to and read from the cookie
file -KW
* more checking whether a line read from a cookie file is complete -KW
* write out second field in cookie file lines a TRUE or FALSE depending on
whether the domain can be used for suffix matching or has to match
completely. This seems to be how Netscape uses it. We don't actually use
this field when reading a file (presence of a leading dot in the domain value
tells us what we need to know), but this should improve behavior for people
sharing a cookie file between Lynx and a Netscape browser (although such
sharing shouldn't be recommended) -KW
* treat case as insignificant in cookie domains more consistently -KW
* remove remnants of FROM_FILE domain behavior, it was unused -KW
* add some clarifications in lynx.cfg regarding cookies -KW
* entify strings when adding them to LYNXMESSAGES: stack -KW
* save HTAlwaysAlert messages for LYNXMESSAGES: page -KW
* generate TRACE output for prompts that use HTConfirm() or
HTConfirmDefault() -KW
* make sure force_old_UCLYhndl_on_reload is initialized and reset properly -KW
* minor tweaks (LYCharUtils.c, LYMain.c, LYPrint.c) -KW
* flush Lynx.leaks file after writing each memory leak record but before
freeing the memory block, to ensure the info is on disk if something goes
seriously wrong (i.e., FREE causes a signal) -KW
* more general checking in postoptions - `lynx LYNXOPTIONS:foo' now doesn't
crash -KW
* revived dired "install" functionality, more or less as it was (apparently)
originally meant to be used, but with various checks added. Compilation is
now conditional on new symbol OK_INSTALL. The "install" function is the
closest we have to a "copy file" function, and could be used instead; the
actual command executed depends on macros INSTALL_PATH and possibly
INSTALL_ARGS, one can define INSTALL_PATH for example to "/bin/cp" before
compilation to effectively get something like a dired "copy" function. Note
the the "install" function requires a special file in the home directory,
which can be customized, see samples/installdirs.html -KW
* new function HTURLPath_toFile in HTFile.c. Use it if we don't have a full
URL where HTnameOfFile_WWW was used previously, this avoids misparsing of
some unusual URL forms for files -KW
* other changes for dired support (KW):
- various corrections with respect to URL-unescaping: don't escape
too often or too little, dired operations could fail on filenames
with special characters
- avoid some unnecessary copying and allocation for filenames
- avoid some more static buffers
- add some buffer overflow checks
* make local directory display somewhat interruptible even without
partial page display -KW
* make do_readme in HTFile.c 8-bit clean -KW
* tweak in HTTP.c to avoid doing strlen() on received data that are to be
passed on raw; raw NUL bytes within the first block read could lead to data
loss -KW
* change newly introduced CAN_ANONYMOUS_* at end of userdefs.h to be FALSE by
default, to get behavior with -anonymous that is equivalent to 2.8.2 -KW
* handle some more common forms of mailcap $DISPLAY tests internally in
HTInit.c -KW
* correct a problem which appears when the curses library causes FANCY_CURSES
to be defined but not COLOR_CURSES: the code can call attrset() twice for
the same characters, thus replacing the original attribute with the new one.
Fix by using attron() instead (patch by Julian Coleman
<J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>)
* modify LYonedot() so it does not change its parameter, avoiding corrupting
the name to be zipped (reported by DK) -TD
* modify LYDownload.c to skip over delimiter for file://localhost to avoid
treating it as part of the DOS filename -DK
* alter LYExecv() to only do an HTAlert if the return-code is zero, i.e., an
error was reported. This lets us reuse (and free) memory pointed to by
tmpbuf (reported by DK) -TD
* remove redefinition of lstat() and change test of stat() function with DJGPP,
which returns nonzero rather than negative on failure -DK
1999-06-18 (2.8.3dev.2)
* move some of the path-manipulation from the DJGPP dired change into new
functions LYisAbsPath, LYisRootPath and LYLastPathSep -TD
* dired support with DJDPP -Igor B Poretsky, DK, TD
(patch adapted by DK from Igor B Poretsky, (Some corrections/rework by TD
also - must retest).
Some notes from DK:
+ since this is DJGPP based, it may be incompatible with a called program
that uses a WATCOM DOS extender. I think I had this problem with a
precompiled binary for zip. The current zip binary doesn't have this
problem.
+ The key to making this work with DJGPP is the __sysflags = 0x501d in
LYMain.c, since this lets the system() call handle multiple commands on one
line and allows the cd command to work across disks.
+ I didn't look at Igor's changes to LYMainLoop.c as regards to the HTUncache
calls. He said he wasn't sure about this.
+ This was tested with Info-Zip's zip and unzip, GNU tar, gzip, comp430d,
PKZIP, and PKUNZIP. This was only tested when built with slang. I don't
see where PDCurses is likely to cause a problem, however.
Problems:
+ To make this work, I made lynx_edit_mode = TRUE in LYMainLoop.c. This does
not seem to be the correct solution. It seems that this should be handled
by the code in HTAccess.c, but I don't understand how this works. If
lynx_edit_mode isn't true, the dired menu doesn't appear with the "f"
invocation of LYK_DIRED_MENU.
+ I'll try to explain this briefly, but this bug is very reproducible. If a
program is invoked from the dired menu which needs to interact with the
user, the system sometimes freezes and has to be rebooted. For example, a
call to unzip a zip archive where the files already exist has zip ask if
the file should be overwritten. If done initially after lynx is started,
no keystrokes are accepted and the system always hangs. If, however, any
file has been moved or had its name changed via the dired menu, then the
above problem doesn't occur. I have tried to see what changes after the
name change that fixes this problem, but I am stumped. Gzip and unzip seem
to have this problem, but PKUNZIP doesn't.
* correct most-recent LYNX_RELEASE_DATE (reported by KW) -TD
* change touchline() call in LYOptions.c to touchwin() in case anyone wants to
compile with BSD 4.4 curses (reported by IC) -TD
* modified ifdef for DECL_ERRNO to allow for errno to be a macro -TD
* ifdef'd the extern declaration of h_errno in HTTCP.c in case that name is
also a macro, e.g., for threaded code (reported by Mike Gravitz
<ddavid@lamar.ColoState.EDU> on AIX 4.3.1.0) -TD
* rename ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS to keep the names less than
31 characters, and add configure option --enable-change-exec to set the
ENABLE_OPTS_CHANGE_EXEC ifdef -TD
* correct syntax of popup_choices() within
ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS ifdef (reported by IC) -KW
* modified some message texts, mostly for consistency -KW
* correct display of local file times in INFO screen -KW
* add null-pointer checks for buf2 variable in
exit_immediately_with_error_message(). Invalid memory access happens if
access to startfile fails but first_file is not true -KW
* change all ifdef's except on for VAX Ultrix that use the presumed predefined
symbol 'unix' to 'UNIX', which the configure script sets. Not all Unix
systems define this in their compiler -TD
From compiler warning on NetBSD 1.4 (report by JES):
deprecated symbol "unix" is no longer predefined
* add experimental file-upload, ifdef'd with EXP_FILE_UPLOAD and configured
with --with-file-upload (adapted from patch by RP) -TD
* document use of '|' pipes in PRINTER commands in lynx.cfg -TD
* add shell script man2hlp.sh, used that to generate lynx.hlp from lynx.man -TD

HTParentAnchor (where they should belong, not HText nor mutable globals).
Add one more parse setting member (verbose_img) to HText structure -LP
* correct spelling of ifdef for reload_read_cfg() (reported by KW) -LP
* minor docs tweaks -LP
* test/{sgml.html, unicode.html} files were badly broken for tagsoup mode
(incorrect html: extra <pre>..</pre> were added inside PRE mode in dev26) -LP
* fix back-slashes conversion for DOSPATH systems when expanding ~ to local
path (mostly affects information screen) -LP
* correct default value for --disable-persistent-cookies configure option
(reported by HenSiong Tan <tan@stat.psu.edu>) -TD
* uncomment --with-libjs configure option -TD
1999-06-11 (2.8.3dev.1)
> minor corrections by TD, patch from KW:
* Key handling changes:
- Extended lynxkeycodes: a bit flag is used to indicate that the lower bits
of the value already are a lynxactioncode and need not be looked up again.
Reduces need for back and forth forward and reverse binding lookups;
currently only used in some places.
- Extended lynxkeycodes: several (currently three) bit flags are used to
indicate key modifiers.
- Added some macros for manipulating and mapping of these codes, see
especially LYKeymap.h, LKC_TO_LAC() etc. Added some comments about the
various kinds of codes.
- Added several editaction codes and flags for setting key modifier on next
key (i.e. for declaring keys as prefix keys, for the purposes of line
editing); for flagging a key for different action if same key is repeated;
for exiting input field line editing and passing a specific lynxactioncode
on; and for undoing 8-bit C1 -> 7-bit replacement transformation for some
chars. Added code to line-editor implementation to react to these new
editactions. Note that the mapping of lynxkeycode to lynxactioncode
outside of line editing, i.e. KEYMAP in lynx.cfg etc., ignores the
modifiers. The main loop just drops modifier flags or ignores the modified
key; modifier flags cannot be used in lynx.cfg KEYMAP 'keystroke' values.
- An ESC not recognized as part of an escape sequence can set the appropriate
modifier flag in LYgetch(), except for SLANG which normally uses a
different LYgetch() implementation. Interpreting an ESC prefix as modifier
is very useful for situations where a held-down Alt key (or some other key)
is encoded this way: linux console, kermit with emacs key mappings,
possibly xterm with '*eightBitInput: false'. OTOH it doesn't work for all
characters or in all situations.
- Extended syntax recognized in .lynx-keymaps file (which is only used if
compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined, which in turn depends on slang and
ncurses version):
(a) Meta-foo can be used to map an escape sequence to a key + modifier.
(b) LAC:foo can be used to map an escape sequence directly to a
lynxactioncode (actually, to an extended lynxkeycode that
encapsulates a lynxactioncode).
See examples added to samples/lynx-keymaps.
- Extended syntax of KEYMAP option, additional field can override line-editor
behavior. PASS documented in lynx.cfg.
- Extended syntax that can be used for specifying key in KEYMAP, some of the
forms allowed in .lynx-keymaps file are now additionally recognized, but
only if compiling with USE_KEYMAPS defined. Left undocumented in lynx.cfg
(maybe subject to change).
- New "Bash-like" Line Editor binding. Adds several new emacs-like editing
functions. Adds tables for keys with modifiers (actually the same table is
currently used for all modifiers, to save some space). Most notably, ^X is
a prefix key to set a modifier flag. Keys with second function when
pressed twice are ^E^E and ^K^K. ESC is also recognized as setting a
modifier flag, in case it gets through without been having been handled in
LYgetch(). See new file keystrokes/bashlike_edit_help.html for more info.
The Bash-like Line Editor Bindings are only compiled in if compiled with
-DEXP_ALT_BINDINGS / configured with --enable-alt-bindings (but not subject
to a new macro). Implementation code for the new emacs-like functions
additionally ifdef'd with ENHANCED_LINEEDIT.
- Avoid dependency on DNARROW key binding when form field line-editing is
ended with Enter or Return key.
- Take setting of real_c/old_c into consideration after return from form
field line-editing. Previously there were some strange effects:
statusline messages would sometimes not appear when they should, the KEYMAP
command would sometimes not work when invoked with ^Vk while in a form
field.
- Make NOCACHE ('x') work for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields (i.e. forms with
a single text input field where Enter automatically submits). Of course
'x' has to be typed as ^Vx while line-editing the field (or NOCACHE mapped
to a different key). Similarly allow DOWNLOAD, and HEAD to work for such
fields. Try to ensure that all permission checks that apply to other form
submissions are also done for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields, this wasn't the case
before.
- New key actions LPOS_PREV_LINK and LPOS_NEXT_LINK. They are like PREV_LINK
and NEXT_LINK, with the difference that, when moving to a form input or
textarea line, the last column position (relative to the field) is
remembered. They are not mapped by default, but mentioned in lynx.cfg.
- New key action DWIMHELP. It should give some context-sensitive help.
Currently the appropriate Line Editor Binding help page is shown if a form
input field is selected, otherwise it defaults to the main HELP page.
- New key action DWIMEDIT. Revert meaning of EDIT back to previous meaning:
always edit document file, not textarea content. DWIMEDIT acts like
EDITTEXTAREA if the current link is a form textarea or input field and
AUTOEXTEDIT was defined, and like EDIT otherwise. Also added slightly
different statusline message if form field external editing cannot be done
because editing is disabled: it shouldn't refer to "The 'e'dit command".
- Summary of reasonable ways to invoke external texarea editing (assuming
that it is desired to keep the action of 'e' to edit files at least outside
of input fields):
1) KEYMAP 'e' to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^Ve. (if AUTOEXTEDIT is defined,
which is the case by default.)
1a) KEYMAP <some other key> to DWIMEDIT, invoke ^V<some other key>.
1b) KEYMAP <some other key> to EDITTEXTAREA, invoke ^V<some other key>.
2) KEYMAP a key (function or control, not printable!) to EDITTEXTAREA
or DWIMEDIT, using PASS in the KEYMAP line.
2a) Find some key whose LineEdit binding is already LYE_FORM_PASS, and
KEYMAP it to EDITTEXTAREA or DWIMEDIT.
3) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings),
select Bash-like Bindings,
invoke ^E^E or ^X^E (or ESC ^E aka M-C-e), or
invoke ^Xe (or ESC e aka M-e), or
3a) compile with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS defined (--enable-alt-bindings),
and without selecting Bash-like Bindings
(invoke ESC ^E aka M-C-e or ESC e aka M-e).
Bindings in parentheses under 3/3a may not work with slang unless a
tweaked .lynx-keymaps file is used.
* Other changes related to textarea handling:
- More appropriate message statusline message if GROWTEXTAREA or INSERTFILE
cannot be done because a textarea is not selected: it shouldn't refer to
"external editor".
- Check whether an editor is defined before trying to use it for textarea
editing. Generate message if spawning of external textarea editor failed.
- Allow INSERTFILE only if file access is not restricted.
- Enforce dotfiles restriction and "show dot files" setting for INSERTFILE.
* Mouse handling changes, mostly only if mouse support comes via ncurses:
- Re-enabled changing link by clicking in area *near* a link (but not on the
link text), but limit max. distance to 2 character positions.
- Make mouse popup menu disappear when it should, by applying the right magic
touchline() in popup_choice().
- Lots of small tweaks to remove glitches in mouse handling, among them: No
left scrolling of long input fields on entering with mouse. Try to ensure
statusline is updated after mouse menu. Make menu actions work as
expected. Avoid acting on mouse events, especially invoking mouse menu, in
wrong context (e.g. while at a prompt), at least in many places.
- Clicking on left or right border of mouse menu now only moves selection.
- At right end of top/bottom line, where single click causes HISTORY action,
double click now causes VLINKS action.
- Allow to distinguish between submitting and just positioning into a
TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE input field. Single click positions, double click
submits, 'activate' from menu also submits.
- When initializing ncurses mouse, call mousemask() with only those bits set
that we may actually be interested in.
* Changes relevant for handling window size changes:
- For ncurses, changed the way how mainloop() notifies the curses library
about a window size change. The approach taken previously, and still used
if we are not using ncurses, has more overhead, can unnecessarily switch
out of the alternative screen buffer (and back) under xterm, and didn't
really make ncurses update the WINDOW structures for the new size in time.
- Other tweaks for size change: make sure curdoc.link is valid after
refresh.
- Detection of size changes in more situations: tolerate EOF from GetChar in
the (non-SLANG) LYgetch_for() in more cases if errno is EINTR, if this
happens check for a size change and generate trace output. Recognize
KEY_RESIZE from ncurses, check for a size change and generate trace output
when it occurs.
- Added NONRESTARTING_SIGWINCH lynx.cfg option and -nonrestarting_sigwinch
flag. If set, lynx *may* react more immediately to window size changes
when running under xterm or similar. Whether this actually has an effect
depends on the implementation of sigaction() and on the behavior of the
curses (or similar) library when a read() (or other system call) is
interrupted by signals.
Depends on '#if HAVE_SIGACTION', which currently has to be defined by hand,
for example by 'make SITE_DEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'. The command line flag
is only available on systems with HAVE_SIGACTION and SIGWINCH.
- Tweaks so that lynx in an xterm can survive when the window size is made
(probably temporarily) very small, for example 1x1. Avoid display_page's
work if it wouldn't be displayable anyway. Make display_title handle very
small screen widths, at least to the degree that it doesn't crash.
* Except for VMS or when DOSPATH is defined, set restore_sigpipe_for_children.
Fixes Debian bug #33853, maybe not really a bug but let's be nice.
* Changes in HTTCP.c:
- Added a CTRACE_FLUSH before creation of NSL_FORK child process.
- Block certain signals during creation of NSL_FORK child process, if
sigprocmask() and friends are available. This should prevent a rare
problem where sometimes the child process could be killed before it has a
chance to modify its signal handlers, resulting in screen corruption, a
seemingly hanging lynx, and/or other problems. It is assumed that
sigprocmask() etc. are available if HAVE_SIGACTION is true. It currently
has to be defined by hand, for example by 'make
SITE_LYDEFS="-DHAVE_SIGACTION"'.
- Generate diagnostic messages for some failures of forked lookup. Depends
on HAVE_H_ERRNO. In particular, try to detect whether the child process
failed because of memory problems, and also fake a 'z' in that case to
short-circuit a URL guessing cycle.
- For most systems, generate more trace output for connection attempts, close
to the actual connect() and select() calls to prevent clobbering errno.
See SOCKET_DEBUG_TRACE. This should help diagnose some obscure
system-dependent problems that have occasionally been reported.
* Added some missing stuff for color handling to forms Option Menu code.
* Printing to screen sometimes didn't show anything for short texts, if screen
output was buffered (and ncurses makes stdout buffered). Added another
fflush(stdout) in send_file_to_screen().
* Some checks for specific URLs (helpfilepath, lynxlistfile, and lynxjumpfile)
in LYGetFile.c were inappropriately case-insensitive for Unix. The
comparison is now case-sensitive except for VMS. This may need tweaking for
DOS and similar systems.
* Added additional LYNoRefererForThis check in getfile(), the one in mainloop()
could be missed for TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE form fields. Also moved other check for
whether to send Referer header earlier, and made it apply for URL types that
might be proxied.
* LYAddVisitedLink tried to regard documents with the same address but a
different title string as different documents, but this was coded wrong.
Removed ineffective comparison, but keep old title string if new title string
is empty.
* Correct long-standing logic error in MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING handling.
Apparently not many people are using it...
* Fix for traversal code to put the right address into the TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE
if a request fails after popping a document from the history stack (this can
only occur if a previous request for the same document had succeeded). Also
don't try to send mail in such a case if MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING is on.
Also prevent possible history stack underflow if this occurs on return to the
first document.
* According to lynx.cfg, error logging mail may be sent to ALERTMAIL if no
document owner is known, but this was not implemented; now it is. ALERTMAIL
is used if it is defined non-empty in userdefs.h. Of course normally it
should be left undefined.
* Fix for traversal code to reject form fields a bit earlier. This prevents
unnecessary lookups as well as adding of an empty line to the
TRAVERSE_REJECT_FILE for each form field encountered.
* Format -crawl output as was documented in CRAWL.announce: with this switch,
link numbering is always off by default (userdefs.h and lynx.cfg defaults und
saved user preference are ignored) unless -number_links is given, and -crawl
-traversal format is now consistent with -crawl -dump with respect to link
numbering. As a side effect, -crawl without either -traversal or -dump now
also turns link numbering off unless -number_links is used (the meaning of
-crawl without either of these was undocumented), so it then acts effectively
as a (less powerful) negation of the -number_links switch.
* For -crawl -dump, the list of links was appended twice. Fixed.
* Check URL as well as title before deciding that a document should not be
pushed on the history stack because it looks like a generated special page.
* Made "Don't waste the cache" optimization in historytarget() subject to
additional checks, to avoid uncaching of the wrong document in some cases.
* LYSafeGets() would drop the last line from a file if it was not terminated.
Changed to return the unterminated line like fgets().
* Clarifications on restrictions. "download" does not imply "disk_save" while
"print" does, this doesn't seem to make much sense but has been the behavior
for a long time.
* Restrictions inside_news, outside_news now apply to reading as well as
posting. The documentation (except for the corresponding comments in
userdefs.h) said that they apply to posting, while in fact they were
implemented for reading only. [Does nobody read this stuff???] Also, the
implementation only checked the flag for news: URLs, but not for nntp:
URLs, which doesn't make much sense given that the latter provide an
alternative way for most (if not all) purposes of the first. So now these
restrictions apply to news:, nntp:, newspost:, and newsreply: (but not to
snews:, snewspost:, or snewsreply:).
* Document -restrictions=externals.
* Some of the restriction stuff not added to VMS lynx.hlp file, since I'm not
quite sure whether the corresponding features work there at all.
* Changed restriction parsing so that "all" and "default" don't get ignored if
they appear as one of several items in the same list.
* Implement listing of current restrictions to stdout with new -restrictions=?
option. This should appear as the last command line option, otherwise the
effect of options appearing later may not be shown. The '?' may require
quoting.
* Made -restrictions= (without any option flags) act like -restrictions
(without equal sign either) as implied by documentation, i.e. list
recognized restriction options.
* LYRestricted has been greatly abused. Once upon a time it was a PRIVATE flag
in LYMain.c (then called anon_restrictions_set), used only to get the
precedence of various command line options right. Recently it has been
misused as a check (and as the only one) whether "anonymous restrictions" are
in effect. This undermines various assumptions:
- that -anonymous is basically an aggregate set of restrictions which could
be specified individually with -restrictions=.
- that individually listed restrictions (-restrictions=...) act as expected,
and can be used to restrict various aspects in a useful manner.
- that -validate implies the strongest restrictions, except for what is
explicitly exempted (i.e. 'g'oto for http/https URLs).
Use specific restrictions instead:
- new "compileopts_info" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: - for anonymous default see
userdefs.h
- new "lynxcfg_info" for LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see userdefs.h
- new "lynxcfg_xinfo" for extended LYNXCFG: - for anonymous default see
userdefs.h
- new invisible "goto_configinfo" for LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: & LYNXCFG: for
anonymous default, see userdefs.h
- additionally check existing "option_save" for LYNXCFG://reload/ -
always restricted by anonymous default
("invisible" means that this restriction cannot be explicitly listed in a
-restrictions=... list, but has a value derived from userdefs.h that is used
with -anonymous and -restrictions=default.)
* Forms options menu can now be used with -validate.
* Allow following local help file links, even if "file_url" restriction is set,
from LYNXKEYMAP, LYNXCOOKIES. (Possibly more need to be added.)
* Apparently realm checking (with -realm option) is bypassed for URLs from
(some) form submissions (it seems to be intentional, but why?). Made sure
this at least doesn't weaken -validate restrictions.
* Apply -localhost check in getfile for news URLs that include a hostname,
i.e., that begin with with "news://".
* Add '&' to nonalphanumeric characters forbidden by exec_ok() for lynxexec and
lynxprog URLs, but keep allowing it for lynxcgi. There's not much point in
excluding ';' and so on if '&' is acceptable!
* Tweaked LYNXMESSAGES: handling slightly: don't bypass normal getfile
handling.
* Reset LYforce_no_cache flag in mainloop() after failed access, before popping
the previous (or, actually, probably currently still displayed) document.
* Tweak for 'no data' handling: it isn't always an error, but was sometimes
treated as such. It mostly doesn't make a difference, except for the message
printed when the startfile cannot be accessed and for traversal and mail
error logging. This needs to be revised to apply for all protocols.
* Added new functionality for rules: Redirect, UseProxy, various others. See
cernrules.txt in samples directory for details.
* Prevent crashes in HTNews.c with HEAD.
* Allow HEAD requests for proxied URLs (checking whether any applicable proxy
begins with http: or lynxcgi:), as far as this can be determined based on
regular environment settings (i.e. unaware of proxying by rules).
* Modified add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from a
DOWNLOADER/UPLOADER/EXTERNAL line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed FALSE. This
modifies the change of 1998-10-17 to be on the safer side, it is more
consistent with how PRINTER lines or lines with the colon separator present
but the flag value absent are handled, and it only makes a difference when a
-restriction command line option or its equivalent is in effect anyway.
* Deal with unusual cases where telnet and similar protocols are proxied, or
possibly changed to a different type of protocol by rules. Normally such
protocols should never be proxied, but there was no protection against it,
and lynx could crash. The approach now taken does not disallow it, but just
tries to deal with the situation in a way that avoids crashing; it is
conceivable that one may want to direct e.g. telnet or rlogin URLs to a HTTP
page that explains why these types are not supported. A similar problem
that occurred when e.g. telnet was forbidden by a rule is also dealt with.
* Protect start_curses calls in getfile against being executed if
dump_output_immediately is in effect. Maybe access to telnet, rlogin,
lynxexec URLs should be completely disabled for this case; skipping the
start_curses at least avoids being left with non-restored tty settings after
the program exits, is someone attempts to use -dump or -source with such a
URL (the -dump or -source flags is then effectively more or less ignored).
* Tweaks in fix_http_urls, renamed fix_httplike_urls.
* Moved LYStrerror from LYStrings.{h,c} to HTAlert.{h,c}, so that it can be
used in HT*.c files without pulling in yet more LY*.h headers.
* Reset 'safe' flag in anchor on parsing "Safe: no" and "Safe: false" headers.
* The top makefile.in had some 'rm -rf' for whole directories $(helpdir) and
$(docdir) in install targets that could potentially wipe out unrelated files;
added checks to make sure the directories haven't been changed to something
not lynx-specific (they are regarded as lynx-specific if the last component
is lynx_help and lynx_doc, respectively).
* Various doc tweaks.
* Updated README.defines. Other contributors should please add their stuff
there, too.
* Additional non-option args (before the last one), i.e. URLs or filenames,
are made available for 'g'oto recall. If unwanted, this can be disabled by
changing EXTENDED_STARTFILE_RECALL in LYMain.c -KW
* In UCChangeTerminalCodepage() used for --enable-font-switch with linux: use
LYOpenTemp() etc. instead of tempnam(), this avoids "Invalid pointer" with
LY_FIND_LEAKS and avoids leaving old temporary files hanging around in some
situations. Also added some error checking -KW

settings in nested includes -VH
* delineate URL's in README with "<URL:" and ">", with space in lynx.man -LV
* add some comments to lynx.lss -TD
* minor improvements to configure script: use newer config.guess and
config.sub from xterm, which adds case for HP 9000/800 (fix problem reported
by Peter Jones <jones.peter@uqam.ca>) -TD
1999-05-29 (2.8.2pre.9)
* use StrAllocCopy rather than HTSprintf in LYstore_message() because no
formatting is done there; the message may contain formatting controls such as
%s (related to bug report by Frederic L W Meunier <fredlwm@urbi.com.br>) -TD
* add/use function LYRenamedTemp() to update our record of temporary filename
when using external decompression program, so we will remove the decompressed
file correctly on exit. This is the usual case if we do not link with zlib
(reported by HN) -TD
* modify LYValidateFilename() to derive original directory preferably from
Current_Dir() rather than environment variable $PWD, since the $PWD directory
may not be writable if Lynx is invoked from another application rather than
directly from the command line -TD
* add/use function Current_Dir(), to check for failure in getcwd/getwd -TD
* change ALL_LINGUAS assignment in configure script to use the .po file which
actually reside in the po directory, making it simpler to drop/add message
files from a distribution of Lynx. Also, make the assignment contingent on
ALL_LINGUAS not being set externally, making it simple to override -TD
1999-05-28 (2.8.2pre.8)
* when reloading/reparsing the document with forms, issue a warning only when
user input is detected (forms content is changed from its default so
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 "<known_tag_name unknown_attr_name any_attr_name>", then styles of
internal markup were unbalanced - resulted in cluttered colors -VH
* comment-out (for release) configure option --enable-libjs -TD
* change configure script defaults for --enable-persistent-cookies and
--enable-alt-bindings to 'yes' -TD
* add DESTDIR variable to top-level makefile to facilitate packaging releases
with compiled-in pathnames -TD
* further correction to VMS pathname in HFTPLoad.c, to translate /vms/fileserv/
to [vms.fileserv], for example. The wku fileserver gives back a Unix-style
listing rather than VMS-style when given a Unix-style CWD, which confuses
Lynx into discarding the listing (reported by Andy Harper) -TD
* modify LYCookies.c to append new items to the end of the list rather than
at the start, so cookies will be written and read from .lynx_cookies in
consistent order (reported by KED) -TD
1999-05-24 (2.8.2pre.6)
* fix for problem reported by LP -VH
Load an html file with META charset and switch "\" to source mode. Now press
^R to reload:
(1) In -prettysrc case you got a broken document (charset will be assumed by
lynx from assume_charset or assume_local_charset, not from a META charset
which was previously pushed with LYPushAssumed() so you get a problem with
8bit documents when assume_charset != META charset).
(2) Without -prettysrc you got a document handled properly via META charset
assumption. Now if you press ^R again you will get a broken document.
* LYK_SOURCE & HTreparse_document(): when using SOURCE_CACHE_MEMORY fix tiny
charset problem when switching to the source mode and the original document
have its charset specified. Now aligned with SOURCE_CACHE_NONE and
SOURCE_CACHE_FILE. More LYK_SOURCE fixes that might affect next coming
document in come cases (mainly Info page and Options menu, which now show
correct charset information) -LP
* add CTRACE_FLUSH call before fork() in NSL_FORK logic so child's messages
will not mess parent ones -LP
* add a few trace messages -LP
* HTReadProgress message now display statusline properly in TRACE mode
(was always broken since early HTReadProgress days) -LP
* install COPYING and COPYRIGHT for install-help rule as well as install-doc,
so we can refer to local copies of those files -TD
* tweak HTParse trace message -LP
* minor formatting change for Lynx_users_guide.html -SH
* correct a few mismatches between variable declarations (char vs BOOLEAN)
(adapted from win32 version by Hiroyuki Senshu <senshu@shonai-cit.ac.jp>) -TD
1999-05-20 (2.8.2pre.5)
* correct links to COPYHEADER and COPYING in about_lynx.html, by pointing to
author's URLs, rather than to files which are not installed anyway -PG
* shorten a couple of identifiers to keep with 31-character limit, i.e.,
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
process changes as before. Also LYK_ADD_BOOKMARK fixed: forms options page
will not be added to bookmarks file -LP
* modify HTGetRelLinkNum(), removing increment of HText_getTopOfScreen() value
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)

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
<jpr@jpr.com> for SCO OpenServer 5.0.5) -BL
* correct SortaSGML element info: SPAN can contain SPAN -KW
* fix several small memory leaks (John Bley):
+ minor (~ 7 bytes) leak in LYCookie.c
+ leak in the warning message about invalid cookies
+ obvious leak in do_readme
+ small leak in dired_options (LYLocal.c)
+ leak with -selective option in HTFile.c
+ a few leaks and a minor cleanup in local_dired

save_bookmark_link (LYBookmark.c) -John Bley
* modify generated WWW/*/makefile and src/chrtrans/makefile to omit include
from intl directory if it is not used (report by LP) -TD
* add configure test for h_errno, by splitting CF_ERRNO macro and reusing
test for external data. Noticed that DECL_ERRNO was not defined/used,
added that as well. The h_errno symbol is provided in some network
libraries, e.g., on SCO and Linux, but may/may not be declared (report
by BL) -TD
* fix some serious lossage in lookup_reject (LYTraversal.c): memory and
logic errors. This (replaced) line is one for the record books:
frag = strlen(buffer) - 1; /* real length, minus trailing null */
Previously, this code caused a read before an array boundary as well as
failing to compare the right number of characters in a pattern -John Bley
* fix some minor leakage in the cookie jar -John Bley
* fix up some casts and mode_t types in HTAAProt.c, HTFile.c, LYLocal.c,
LYUtils.c -John Bley
1999-05-05 (2.8.2dev.26 - 2.8.2pre.1)

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

":" on Unix
" for " on all OS's -VH
* fixes for LYList.c, adding title info to the (mostly unused) HTLinkType -KW
* change remaining <banner>'s to <blockquote> in other html files, fix
a few escapes that tidy (15-apr-99) reports. Leaving <tab>'s alone for the
moment because there appears to be no standard equivalent -TD
* change <banner> in lynx-dev.html to <blockquote> since the latter is
standard, correct IEFT version and supply <p>'s as needed (Karl Eichwalder)
* correct a couple of two documentation inconsistencies in the sources for
USE_PSRC and -prettysrc (Karl Eichwalder <ke@gnu.franken.de>)
* register free_messages_stack with atexit to fix some statusline leakage,
explicitly fill out a struct initializer -John Bley

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 2.8.2dev.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

related code in LYCookie.c (analysis by KW) -TD
1999-04-23 (2.8.2dev.24)
* added overlooked WWW/Library/Implementation/makefile.in -TD
1999-04-23 (2.8.2dev.23)
* add/use new function LYSafeGets to replace reads into fixed-size buffers -TD
* change xxxx_URL_TYPE definitions in LYUtils.h to a enum -TD
* use HTSprintf0 in LYCurses.c, LYReadCFG.c -TD
* implement restrictions on options that can be set via the lynx.cfg "include"
directive -VH
For example, admins may specify
include:~/.lynx/colors:COLOR
include:~/.lynx/keymap:KEYMAP
include:~/.lynx/viewers:VIEWER
safely - and be sure that no critical options were altered by those files.
The syntax is
include:<filename>[:[<OPTNAME>* ] ]

include:~/.lynx/rc:COLOR KEYMAP VIEWER SUFFIX
include:/usr/local/lib/lynx-cfg.part: #all settings can be changed
The patch does this:
* It prints warnings to stderr about unknown options specified in the list of
allowed options in include command. When 'o'->'lynx.cfg'->'RELOAD THE
CHANGES' is activated, these warnings are also printed on stderr - so the
screen will be corrupted if lynx.cfg and included are incorrect.
* Only options, allowed for a given file are printed in
'o'->'lynx.cfg'->'RELOAD THE CHANGES'.
* Fully backward compatible - lines of the form
include:filename
will work as they did(i.e., if the list of allowed options is not
specified, then the included file can use the same set of options, as the
file that contained that 'include' command).
* If you wish to allow an included file to
include others, you must specify 'include' in the list of allowed options.
Sample:
include:~/.lynx/suffixes:INCLUDE SUFFIX
so that users will be able to use 'include' command in '~/.lynx/suffixes'
(otherwise included file will be unable to include anything).
* Option sets are ANDed. If file lynx.cfg contains:
include:/usr/lib/lynx.cfg.0:COLOR SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE
and /usr/lib/lynx.cfg.0 contains
include:/usr/lib/lynx.cfg.1:SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE STARTFILE HELPFILE
then /usr/lib/lynx.cfg.1 can use the following options:
SUFFIX VIEWER INCLUDE
* change the STARTFILE description in lynx.cfg to offer the user's home
directory as an alternative to lynx.browser.org (amended this to reflect
consensus that l.b.o should be the default) -TD
* move a big chunk of code into print_status_message() -LP
* also add numerous HTProgress messages to LYNXMESSAGES:/ page (but not
HTReadProgress) -LP
* HTAlert, HTUserMsg and HTInfoMsg statusline messages are now stored in a
cycled buffer and accessible from the History Page as LYNXMESSAGES:/ link.
This allows us to decrease the messages delay in lynx.cfg when we feel
messages too annoying, but have a nice history list for diagnostic purposes.
Uses a 40-line buffer (suggested by Bela Lubkin) -LP
* fix reloading with HTreparse_document() for LYK_MINIMAL, LYK_HISTORICAL,
LYK_SOFT_DQUOTES, LYK_SWITCH_DTD mainloop events (hope we work around replies
from POST properly) -LP
* elaborate description in Lynx_users_guide.html for "comments" (Michael
Sobolev <mss@transas.com>)
* fix --disable-trace (by making the ifdef's directly depend on NO_LYNX_TRACE
rather than DEBUG), chop more unneeded #includes -John Bley
* combine WWW/Library/unix and WWW/Library/Implementation to simplify make
dependencies, drop Makefile.old -TD
* fixes for DOS port - DK
(a) When exiting with interrupt, the message was printed in binary mode,
leaving the cursor in the middle of the screen
(b) In the PDCurses build, the keypad enter key only worked when LYK_ACTIVATE
was utilized, but not in GOTOLINK or GOTOPAGE. This maps the keypad
enter to '\n', so it works in all situations, but keypad enter will no
longer be able to be mapped separately. CTRL-PADENTER and ALT-PADENTER
can still be separately mapped.
* various changes to userdefs.h and lynx.cfg explanatory text -KW
* corrected placement of "partial_thres" code in LYrcFile.c, removed an unused
prototype in LYUtils.h -KW
* add a note about LYNX_SAVE_SPACE to INSTALLATION -JES
* remove docs/*.old (request by HN) -TD
* update INSTALLATION notes for DJGPP with PDCurses; a suggested patch is
no longer applicable -DK
* fixes for control/C and control/BREAK handling on DJGPP -DK
* tweak in HTML_start_element case HTML_DT: prevent generation of empty line
between multiple simple DT elements without intervening DD elements (Debian
bug #3846) -KW
* add list of downloaders to lynx_help_main.html -PW
* add attributes for {bq,blockquote}.cite,{frame,iframe,img}.longdesc,
{table,td}.background, td.{height,width} -VH
* define DISP_PARTIAL for VMS (request by Andy Harper) -TD
* include <unistd.h> for DEC C, to prototype sleep() and alarm(). Ifdef'd
include of HTString.h by HTUtils.h, but keep include as general rule for
making headers standalone (report by Andy Harper) -TD
* modified LYrcFile.c to avoid putting '#' characters at the beginning of
lines, since that confuses VAX C (report by Tony Bolton) -TD
* fix redefinition of h_errno (report by Tony Bolton) -TD
* ifdef'd print_local_dir in HTFile.c since this function does not compile on
VMS (report by Andy Harper, Tony Bolton) -TD
* fix reload_read_cfg() to avoid persistent cookies mode changing at run time;
reload printers list, downloaders list, environments - as expected - LP
* fixes for SOURCE_CACHE!=NONE mode, trying to accommodate HTreparse_document()
for mainloop() events:
- add/use flag "from_source_cache" for better mainloop maintenance
- add partial display mode for HTreparse_document() operations
- add warning when the reparsed document may lose its forms content
- fix options menu stuff to use HTreparse_document() when possible - LP
* fix exit from postoptions() when the reloaded document was in source mode -LP
* update flags to correct behavior with SOURCE_CACHE!=NONE: the length of the
re-rendered text may vary so the scrolling down is broken (especially nice
when switching to source). ("more" updated, "lines_in_file" inlined) -LP
* use configure script macro CF_CHECK_CACHE to compile-in Unix SYSTEM_NAME,
for info screen (request by LP) -TD
* minor fixes for uncaching document, other items missed in 2.8.2dev.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<mumble>(), the source file is reparsed with HTParseFile(). The cached
document also remembers certain parser settings (screen size, historical vs.
minimal vs. valid comment parsing, and the like), and is regenerated from
source if it is fetched out of cache under different settings. This behavior
is selectable by a configure option --enable-source-cache and by a lynx.cfg
option SOURCE_CACHE; I didn't add a command-line argument or an options menu
entry, as this didn't seem to be the sort of thing one would want to change
You had to challenge me, didn't you? ;) Okay, after some pfutzing around
with HTChunks, I think I've got a working version of memory caching of
source. The SOURCE_CACHE option now has settings FILE, MEMORY and NONE, with
the obvious meanings, defaulting to NONE. (DSB - Scott Bigham
<dsb@cs.duke.edu>)
* amend HTConfirmDefault() logic so that a second character will cause the
default response to be returned, e.g,. so that pressing "qq" will make
Lynx exit (reported by John Bley) - TD
* change the PUTS("\n") calls in HTFile.c to PUTC('\n') since that would be
a little more efficient (noted by KW) - TD
* minor cleanup: remove obsolete parameters from command-line parsing functions
in LYMain.c, add newlines in HTFile.c for readability of html - LP
* change default STARTFILE to the current directory, "." - PW
* revised lynx-dev.html - PW
* lynx.cfg and further included cfg files can be edited from LYNXCFG:/ page
with the default editor and changes can be activated for the same lynx
session. NOT allowed for restricted users (LYRestricted) and occasionally
for user mode other than ADVANCED. This is an *experimental* code
(reload_read_cfg() in LYMain.c - more work required): currently command-line
switches may be lost when overridden by lynx.cfg changes, file paths like
lynx_save_space and LYCookieFile should not be changed (unwanted results) -LP
* retest PARSE_DEBUG ifdef's (LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c), minor corrections
but found no specific reason for LP's problem with tables, except possibly
different effect from "&(value)" versus "(&value)" - TD
* fix the problem of reading included lynx.cfg files by changing LYReadCFG.c
table signature (now it is more close to one in LYMain.c). The problem was
the ignoring of *some* values got from the included cfg file (at least for
DJGPP2.02/gcc2.8.1 build). Probably we calculate the addresses of variables
on a later stage now. - LP
* DOSPATH changes: local directory style now configurable from lynx.cfg
(LONG_LIST defined). Unlike UNIX it is not "ls -l" by default
but a more compact form (date and size present, from lynx.cfg example) - LP
* cookies: domains now match case insensitively (reported by Paul Wagner
<paul.wagner@mci.com>) - LP
* correct an ifdef in LYGetFile.c for config-page - LP
* reading of long local directories now benefits from partial mode and fully
interruptible. Split out print_local_dir() function from HTLoadFile() - LP
* behave sanely if NSL_FORK fork() fails -BL
* NSL_FORK try for dns_patience *seconds*, not dns_patience select() calls,
which might have been shortened by keyboard input -BL
* fix some screwy comment indentation -BL
* add section on editing TEXTAREA to user's guide - PW
* add a null-pointer check in LYCookie.c (Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
* revise changes ifdef'ing LY_FIND_LEAKS by making atexit a no-op function
since the DOS port depends on atexit to keep the DOS BREAK function properly
set on exit. Put back atexit, and ifdef's each place where atexit isn't
needed except when finding leaks - DK
* modify LYMain.c on DOS, fixing the determination of BREAK status to be
independent of SLANG or PDCurses - DK
* spawn a new function, www_user_search_internals, to begin canceling the
effects of cut-n-paste coding in www_user_search. The body of
www_user_search_internals used to be duplicated at two points in
www_user_search. See comment in GridText.c for more details -John Bley
* big pile of unneeded #includes removed -John Bley
* remove obsolete files from the distribution -John Bley
WWW/Library/Implementation/HTWriter.*
* one malloc check, fix --disable-ftp -John Bley
* fixes for compiler warnings when building for OpenVMS 6.2 using DEC C and the
SOCKETSHR library (reported by Andy Harper) - TD
* add cpp -H option for HPUX bundled C compiler, which otherwise does not
have enough symbol table space (reported by JES). Also, modify ifdef's
for <stdarg.h> vs <varargs.h> to avoid including the former when ANSI_VARARGS
is not defined since HPUX had a broken <stdarg.h> - TD
* changed OMIT_SCN_KEEPING ifdef to 0 (inactive) in LYCurses.c and in HTML.c,
still enabling the Style_className:HTML.c keeping and making lynx with lss
slightly slower than it could be (though faster then dev21). If somebody
wishes to fix a bug, here is a description: If contents of some tag that has
corresponding color style occupies more than 2 screens, after navigating to
the page, on which the content of that block starts, and then pressing PGDN
PGDN PGUP, the effect (color style) of that tag will be lost. The same
(losing style) happens when jumping to the anchor that is in such block and
is located not on the 1st page. IMO this is something with style stack. If
this will be fixed, then keeping of Style_className:HTML.c can be omitted
again -VH
* fixed the bug in lynx with lss support -when displaying html pieces such as
<b> A <b> B </b> C </b>, only 'AB' was drawn in style corresponding to
<b> -VH
* added HTML source syntax highlighting (when option -prettysrc that is added
is given to lynx). It's available for lynx compiled with and without lss
support (it can be much more beautiful when compiled with lss support - read
lynx.cfg for description). The code is ifdef'ed with USE_PSRC.
This functionality coexists with old source view and with -preparsed logic
(ie different commandline options make source view logic different) -VH
* HTChunkPutc was inlined in SGML.c for better performance -VH
* keeping of Style_className was omitted in HTML.c to increase performance of
lynx compiled with lss support -VH
* performance of lynx compiled with lss support is increased ~ by 15-20% for
normal documents, and by up to 50% for documents with a lot of tags -VH
* fixed bug in lynx compiled with lss support that caused it to load local CSS
stylesheets - lynx didn't understand their syntax so it was exiting -VH
* added type information for attributes in HTMLDTD.c (it's used in source
syntax highlighting mode) -VH
* sample .lss files are updated to support source syntax highlighting -VH
1999-03-30 (2.8.2dev.21)
* disable LYatexit if memory-leak testing is not configured -TD
* 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 -TD
(reported by Andy Harper <Andy.Harper@kcl.ac.uk>)
+ remove 'DEBUG' definition from build scripts since it is defined in
the source code.
+ turn off code that tries to use getpwuid(), by defining NOUSERS, since
those functions are not present on VMS.
+ provide a dummy location for h_errno for systems without that symbol.
+ correct string syntax in VMSexit function
+ ifdef'd use of lynx_version_putenv_command in LYMain.c
+ correct spurious parenthesis in mailform function
+ correct missing COPY_PATH definition for LYUtils.c
* check for 'z' user interrupt in HTLoadHTTP before setting up the output
stream. This avoids doing unnecessary work, including possible creation of a
new HText structure that most likely is never displayed but still pushes
another document out of the. cache. Most commonly this occurs when a HTTP
error response is received and the user presses 'z' while the resulting alert
message is shown - KW
* fix of HTUnEscapeSome in HTParse.c for non-ASCII - KW, PG
* tidy up around ed_offset initialization in GridText.c - KED
(the patch as given did not compile on a non-ANSI compiler because it used
aggregate initialization - TD)
* add samples/mild-colors.lss (Vlad Harchev)
* add samples/blue-background.lss (from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>)
* documentation updates for INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS - PW
* use HTConfirm and HTConfirmDefault to gettext'ify CONFIRM_BOOKMARK_DELETE,
CONFIRM_COMMENT, CONFIRM_LONG_PAGE_PRINT, CONFIRM_LONG_SCREEN_PRINT,
CONFIRM_MAIL_SOURCE_PREPARSED, CONFIRM_MAIN_SCREEN, FILE_EXISTS_HPROMPT,
FILE_EXISTS_OPROMPT, NO_OWNER_USE, PREV_DOC_QUERY, REALLY_EXIT_N,
REALLY_EXIT_Y, REALLY_QUIT_N, REALLY_QUIT_Y (based on report by LP) - TD
* at LYNXCFG:/ page, add links for every included configuration file so we can
read and edit them (no, currently the changes will be active the next session
only. Minor reorganization of LYMain.c done, more required) - LP
* correct test/spaces.html - it should not be in a <PRE> mode by default - LP
* undo recent   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

* don't append sed expression to help_files.sed if the $(COMPRESS_EXT)

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

* 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 - JES
* modify trace log header to always inform us if anonymous restrictions are
set - LP
* chartrans: old-style declarations of charsets which do not have Unicode
tables (CJK, x-transparent, also UTF-8) now moved from LYCharSets.c to
UCdomap.h and now included with UCInit() in UCdomap.c in a standard way - LP
(Please re-test CJK and UTF-8)
* add configure --enable-libjs option (Lalo Martins <lalo@webcom.com>)
* add checks for some more LINK tags as listed in "6.12 Link types" of the HTML
4.0 Specification (Masayasu Ishikawa <mimasa@isoternet.org>)
* changed the effect of some LINK tags with REL attribute of a very relative
character (Up, Next, Prev, ...) on titles as they appear e.g. on the LIST
page: the title of the target HTParentAnchor isn't being set when such a
LINK tag is parsed, but the relation is now stored as a property of the
link itself rather than its destination. The LIST page shows the relation
as additional info, not superseding a URL or title string obtained
otherwise - KW
* move commands in top-level makefile.in which clean *.rej and *.orig from
'distclean' rule to 'maintainer-clean', make distinct from the @SRCDIR_CLEAN@
substitution which is intended for use with the configure --srcdir option
(from reports by Glenn E Thobe <thobe@lafn.org> and BL) - TD
* correct LYRemoveTemp() to close file before attempting to remove it; else
the remove fails on some platforms, e.g., DOS/Windows (report by KW) - TD
* improved documentation for the new cookie options, e.g,.
COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, in lynx.cfg - BJP
* fix some memory leaks in LYCookie.c - BJP
* modify 123g (and similar movement) commands to allow for relative links,
e.g., by using a '+' or '-' after the 'g' - LE
* modify help_files.sed to include '$', making regular expressions work for
HP-UX (Jens Schmalzing <jens@stat.physik.uni-muenchen.de>)
* add a comment to aclocal.m4 to show where patches for autoconf, needed for
this configure script, can be found - JES
* add toggling trace log on/off in partial mode, when the downloading is still
in progress - LP
* more consistent docs for debugging of invalidly nested HTML: important trace
messages from actions on invalid tags now have '***' prefix such as "SGML:
... ***ignored" (well: illegal, forced, assumed, etc.), -preparsed mode now
better documented - LP
* minor code cleanup: remove redundant includes, fill in 0's for some static
data initialization -John Bley
* add 'joe' editor, and variants, to list of those editors that are assumed to
position the file to a given line number using the "+line" command-line
option - IC
* remove redundant "(y/n)" substrings from LYMessages_en.h - LV
* add new command named GROWTEXTAREA which adds 5 new blank lines to the bottom
of a TEXTAREA when executed. It does not have a default binding, so you need
to add a KEYMAP for it in your lynx.cfg. The number of lines added is fixed
by a #define, but 5 seems to be a "reasonable" increment to use - KED
* add new command named INSERTFILE, which (obviously) inserts a file's contents
into a TEXTAREA, just above the line the cursor is on when invoked (which
means you cannot insert a file *below* the final existing TEXTAREA line ...
but see 1) and 3) for easy ways to over- come this limitation). It too, has
no default binding, so a KEYMAP entry is also needed for it - KED
* by default, when the cursor is on the last line of a TEXTAREA, if you hit the
ENTER key, a new line will be added to the TEXTAREA, with the cursor
positioned on it. If that should happen at the bottom of the screen, a
DOWN_HALF scroll operation is (effectively) performed - KED
* ifdef'd this feature (since at least one person objected to this automatic
behavior when it was discussed awhile back - BL?), for easy disabling (and to
make adding a ./configure option easier). The symbol is AUTOGROW is
#define'd in LYMainLoop.h - KED
* added an ifdef for the code that causes the external editor to be
invoked "automatically" on the TEXTAREA contents when ^Ve (or whatever
the EDIT binding is), rather than attempting to invoke it on the .html
source file. This should allow adding a ./configure option to control
this behavior, until we come up with a different binding/mechanism to
do the job, that we can all agree on. The symbol AUTOEXTEDIT is also
#define'd in LYMainLoop.h. The command EDITTEXTAREA is still available
for separate KEYMAP binding, per KW's suggestion - KED
* check the range of chars between 0x80 and LYlowest_eightbit[current_char_set]
for validity against the charset in use. If such chars are detected in
edited or inserted data, a "." char is substituted for them, as with normal
control chars. (Suggested by LP) - KED
* added KW's LYCloseTempFP bugfix - KED
* add/use function GetFileName(), e.g., by INSERTFILE. It is fairly general
purpose, and can be used whenever the name of an existing file needs to be
input. It uses the same mechanism for filename expansion and "history" as
does the PRINT function - KED
* reorganized a lot of the code into subroutines to provide for 1) and 2);
still need to do a bit more cleanup of some other (nearly) common code - KED
* rename iso9945_uni.tbl to iso9945uni.tbl to accommodate 'make' programs on
old systems (such as CLIX 3.1) whose suffix rules fail for filenames longer
than 14 characters - TD
* change VMS WWW build-script to use prefix=all rather than prefix=ansi,
so that POSIX functions such as 'stat()' are linked properly (reported by
Morris D Cox <coxmd@appstate.edu>) - TD
* modify configure macro CF_EBCDIC to avoid using #error, since that is not
recognized by all compilers - TD
* include <sys/types.h> in CF_INET_ADDR macro, to accommodate systems which
require that to compile test program with the socket.h, other network
headers - TD
* removed a cast in free_lynx_cfg, on FREE's argument, which caused some
compilers to report that an rvalue was being modified (reported by PW) - TD
1999-02-16 (2.8.2dev.17)
* 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 are not used by default - KW
* modify "clean" makefile rule to allow for FreeBSD, which generates core
files such as lynx.core - KED, TD
* correct sign-extension when converting characters after edit of TEXTAREA
(upper-128 characters were being translated to dots, reported by IC) - KED
* worked with some pathological/boundary-case pages, and fixed some some edges
that could fail (eg, last line of document is also last line of a TEXTAREA,
and lines are being added; page containing *only* a one-line TEXTAREA field;
etc). While it was unlikely one would run into such beasts in real life,
they all work correctly now. Thanks to Greg Marr and Serge Munhov for
providing some very basic pages that I was able to easily modify for various
test cases - KED
* added a few flags to the TextAnchor and HTLine struct's, to indicate an
expansion line. These were added to allow for line deletion when a TEXTAREA
is "reset" or shrinks (when we get around to tackling those tasks) - KED
* the editor's cursor is now positioned on the same line in the edit file, as
it was on when the editor was invoked (relative to the beginning of the
TEXTAREA). At least for those editors that lynx knows support initial
positioning (emacs, vi, pico, jove, and jed for non-VMS platforms; sedt for
VMS) - KED
* cleaned up and corrected a few comments; simplified a few small bits of
code - KED
* added cookie_domain_flags enum to LYCookie.h, usage should be apparent with
patch applied - BJP
* updated free_lynx_globals() for cookie variables - BJP
* replaced cookie_add_acceptlist, cookie_add_rejectlist and
cookie_set_invcheck functions with cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP
* saved a bit of memory by dropping useless pointer memory initialization
(exactly WHAT was I thinking?) - BJP
* changed LYrcFile.c, LYReadCFG.c to call cookie_domain_flag_set - BJP
* new lynxkeycode BACKTAB_KEY with value 0x10F. DO_NOTHING is and shall remain
0x10E, as documented in lynx.cfg. Moved MOUSE_KEY out of the way - does it
need to be in the tables at all? BACKTAB_KEY will be recognized if the
(n)curses keypad() input handling returns KEY_BTAB, which happens if the
terminal description has the right kB or kcbt capability string and the
terminal actually generates that string (often "^[[Z", generated for
shift+tab). May also work with lynx-keymaps mechanism. Not tested with
slang, maybe this has to be added to some more of the various tables in
LYStrings.c - KW
* new user-visible key commands FASTFORW_LINK and FASTBACKW_LINK, with
lynxactionscodes LYK_FASTFORW_LINK and LYK_FASTBACKW_LINK. By default mapped
from <tab> key (^I) and new BACKTAB_KEY, respectively. Previously <tab> was
mapped from NEXT_LINK, which has some special handling if the invoking key
was <tab> (and if FASTTAB was defined in LYMainLoop.c, which was the case by
default). The old behavior of <tab> is still available if it is mapped with
KEYMAP to NEXT_LINK in lynx.cfg - KW
* these commands always go to a previous (or next) link if there is one,
and skip multiple lines that are part of the same textarea - KW
* recognize the new key actions also during partial file display, for some
roughly corresponding movement - KW
* new lynxeditactioncode LYE_FORM_PASS, to allow any lynxkeycode to end the
editing of a form field and be passed up to the caller - it will then
normally be mapped to a lynxactioncode. LYE_FORM_PASS keys are generally
ignored in non-forms line editing. This is used for BACKTAB_KEY, as well as
several other keys that were previously handled specially in form_getstr - KW
* extended the maps in LYEditmap.c to cover the same range of lynxkeycodes as
the LYKeymap.c tables. Yes, this uses more space, but the tables need to be
consistent - KW
* map lynxkeycode 0x00 to LYK_DO_NOTHING, as lynx.cfg said all the time - KW
* some tweaks of displayed strings in 'K'ey Map page. Don't show CHANGE_LINK
binding if mouse not enabled (it may not be useful even when -use_mouse is
on) - KW
* function expand_substring used with NCURSES for user-defined mapping keysyms
to byte sequences was parsing the "^(...)" construct wrong - KW
* other small tweaks in key handling code - KW
* changes to lynx.cfg to better reflect reality - KW
* terminology note: lynxkeycode = what's between the colons in lynx.cfg
KEYMAP:...:..., lynxactioncode = LYK_* code for what's right of the second
colon, lynxeditactioncode = what's assigned in LYEditmap.c (and which may
differ between lineedit_mode Default Binding and alternative bindings) - KW
* formatting tweak in HTML.c for <DD> not preceded by <DT>: Don't use wrong
indentation in that case - KW
* changes from DK for DOS up to 1999-02-14 - KW
* minor documentation tweaks - LP
* replace most uses of free with FREE -John Bley
* correct HTEndParam so that if fewer command-parameters are given than
expected, we still terminate the command properly (reported by
Michael Warner) - TD
1999-02-08 (2.8.2dev.16)
* minor documentation tweaks for EDITTEXTAREA - LP
* correct uninitialized buffer variable in send_file_to_mail() which caused
core dump (reported by LV) - KW
* recognize Subject and Message-Id in embedded comments in HTML documents, in
the form generated by MHonArc for mailing list archives (including lynx-dev).
Use these to generate a default Subject and an In-Reply-To header (currently
not for VMS) when replying by mail (sending a 'C'omment, or following a
mailto link) from such a page. The old methods to get a title other than the
fallback (the URL) still are there and have precedence, by in reality seem to
apply very rarely. If no suitable comment strings are found or they are
regarded as invalid (bad characters, not exactly right format) they are not
used, and the fallback (URL as Subject, no In-Reply-To) applies - KW
* use the Message-Id of a news article to generate a References header when
posting a reply. Lynx's new article listing doesn't understand threading,
but this is nicer for other newsreader that do. The References header of the
referenced article is not used, so there will be only one message-id in the
generated References header, but this is better than nothing. The article's
message-id is appended as a parameter to the URL of the generated newsreply
link, in the form ";ref=...", so this extends the syntax of Lynx's newsreply:
URL scheme. Nothing should have changed for snews: and other s-versions of
the various URL schemes for news access - KW
* Message-Id and Subject of a news article are also made available for replying
by mail - KW
* LYNews.c: Don't post a message that is empty or has only '>'-quoted text - KW
* HTNews.c: got rid of some suspicious fixed length buffers. Fixed minor
memory leaks. Added abort of the target stream which was missing in some
cases. Create mailto: hrefs in URL-escaped form if necessary, they will be
unescaped in LYMail.c. (News URLs still don't use escaping the right way,
especially for message-ids.) Recognize special meaning of "Followup-to:
poster" (don't treat "poster" as a newsgroup name). Other small tweaks - KW
* add samples/cernrules.txt - KW
* except for DJGPP, move lookup code for domain names (not dotted-quad IP
addresses) from HTParseInet into a new function: LYGetHostByName acts like
the normal gethostbyname, but includes the NSL_FORK logic. Interruption is
indicated in global variable lynx_nsl_status - KW
* use LYGetHostByName instead of HTParseInet for URL guessing - KW
* select on tty file descriptor in NSL_FORK loop also if compiled with slang.
This should make 'z' during lookup more responsive - KW
* don't compile in the rules implementation code if NO_RULES is defined
(suggested by BL) - KW
* fix special case of EDITTEXTAREA where the returned file is empty - BJP
* write to .lynxrc values for COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAIN
when options screen is used - BJP
* add lynx.cfg and .lynxrc support for a few new options (BJP):
COOKIE_STRICT_INVALID_DOMAINS,
COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS,
COOKIE_QUERY_INVALID_DOMAINS
They're the same sort as COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS, comma-delimited lists.
* modify LYOpenTemp() to report unusual errors, i.e., other than if the
temporary file could not be created because it already exists - PG
* more fixes to CF_INET_ADDR - TD
* modify README to indicate where win32 binaries are found - JES
* add chrtrans tables for Ukrainian Cyrillic: koi8-u, cp866u, iso-9945-2
(patch by Serhii Hlodin <hlodin@lutsk.bank.gov.ua>)
* patch for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED
1. Handles the renumbering of link number tags [nnn], when the tag itself is
split across two lines (see below).
2. Scrolling down, going to the bottom of the document, etc, now work
properly, when the TEXTAREA is expanded beyond the bottom of the
(original) screen display.
3. Hitting the reset button is now handled properly WRT the "old" text in
expansion lines (now *always* empty).
4. Attempting to edit (^Ve) a TEXT field (not a TEXTAREA), is now blocked,
with the user getting an error msg.
5. The function call now returns the number of lines that the cursor should
be moved from its current position, to end up on the first blank line of
any trailing empty lines in the TEXTAREA (there will always be one).
* bug fixes for TEXTAREA edit feature - KED
1. Thanks to a suggestion by Bela, your regular EDIT keybinding ("e" by
default), will now bring up the editor within a TEXTAREA, so there's no
need to "waste" a separate keybinding (though you can still additionally
bind the function separately, if desired).
2. Converts any tab chars in the edited file, to spaces in the TEXTAREA
anchor line. The tabstop is currently #define'd to the quasi-standard
value of 8. (If anyone thinks that needs to be user configurable, feel
free to add that to the o(ptions) form/menu,
cmd-line-arg/lynx.cfg/.lynxrc/userdefs.h, whatever ...
I recommend against doing so though, as tabstops that are not set at 8,
are a PITA to deal with, generally speaking. I dunno if tab chars in a
TEXTAREA form are prohibited "by spec", or if it is just a "lynxism" that
they cause rendering problems (as well as downstream problems with
submit/etc, I think), but I felt I needed to do something to make lynx
behave rationally if they are present in the edited data (quite possibly
from an arbitrary file that one pulled into the editor). Filtering them
to spaces, seemed the most reasonable thing to do.
3. Replaces any embedded control chars with something printable (I chose a
"." char, since it is less "intrusive" than some other choices, like "*",
"+", "#", etc). As with tabs, when some of these chars *are* rendered
into the TEXTAREA, strange things may happen. This shouldn't be much of a
limitation, since many of these chars perform line-editing or
system/job-control functions, when entered directly while one is in the
TEXTAREA. They currently cannot be "escaped" and entered as actual text
chars, so far as I can tell. Anyway ... I don't know of any "legitimate"
reason for them to be used as TEXTAREA data, so for now, you get "dots" in
their place.
4. Cleans up a few comments, and such.
* update some linked in lynx_help_main.html (Heikki Kantola <hezu@iki.fi>)
* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMain.c, LYReadCFG.c,
LYUtils.c -John Bley
* add telnet, tn3270 and rlogin program paths to configure script
(patch by George Lindholm <George.Lindholm@ubc.ca>).
1999-01-28 (2.8.2dev.15)
* correct calls to HTAddParam() in LYDownLoad.c to handle optional second
parameter (reported by KW) - TD
* change HTAddXpand() to assume its parameter (an environment variable) is
already expanded and simply is not quoted (reported by Ryan Hung
<rhung@vcn.bc.ca>) - TD
* add configure --disable-included-msgs option to allow suppressing of bundled
./po directory for the NLS message library contents. If no ./po directory
is found, the configure script assumes it is preinstalled anyway (request
by HN) - TD
* add pattern to script which customizes pathnames in lynx.cfg to support
GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/PATH_TO/lynx_doc/samples/mailcap
(request by PG) - TD
* export $PATH when calling cfg_defs.sh - PG
* add a simple test to check if the temporary directory is actually writable
if we cannot create a temporary file in LYOpenTemp (reported by PG) - TD
* miscellaneous DOS/DJGPP compile/build fixes - LP
* enabled CERN-style rules, there are two new lynx.cfg options, RULESFILE and
RULE. No example file or documentation yet beyond comments in lynx.cfg. The
rules mechanism itself is unchanged from what was present for a long time
(but never used), except for some memory cleanup. Use -DNO_RULES at compile
time to disable - KW
* add changes to invoke external editor on textarea, can be invoked by adding a
KEYMAP entry for EDITTEXTAREA area to lynx.cfg (originally from
aldomel@ix.netcom.com, but much rework) - KED
* use HTSprintf0 in HTTCP.c - TD
* added PARSE_STRICTPATH and PARSE_QUERY to interface of HTParse(), for
requesting only the relevant part of what is returned for PARSE_PATH. This
isn't yet used anywhere - KW
* changes to StrAllocVsprintf() to take width and precision in most format
specifications into account, and to correct the memory allocation logic.
This was tested by setting GROW_SIZE to a small value of 8, so far no
crashes, but it is certainly not right for all possible formats, especially
involving floating point conversions - KW
* changed HTSprintf0() to pass a string already existing in its output buffer
on, this should save a few realloc's in StrAllocVsprintf() - KW
* changes to code handling LIST_FORMAT to avoid some unnecessary reallocations,
to recognize some more format flags, and to treat invalid formats somewhat
better - KW
* corrected recent HTFile.c change for systems without S_ISVTX - KW
* added memory cleanup for uid/gid cache functions in HTAAProt.c - KW
* increased ATEXITSIZE to 40 - KW
* added TRACE output to HTAnchor.c's free_adult_table. If this shows anything
at program exit (if TRACE is on then), it means that HTAnchor structures have
been missed by the normal automatic cleanup (walking the history list and
following links) - KW
* changed more status codes in HTUtils.h to libwww5-like values - KW
* added new function to check for a valid Internet hostname - KW
Use it before actually trying to resolve an address, it should
a. avoid the overhead of NSL_FORK if it would fail anyway,
b. prevent DNS queries for invalid names, which may unnecessarily
consume time, bandwidth, and DNS server cache memory, and
may confuse some resolver libraries and servers,
c. speed up address guessing sometimes if something was mistyped,
d. thwart some attempts to crash Lynx with invalid URLs.
* this time really make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW
* new function HTAlwaysAlert(), which can be called even when LYCursesON isn't
true and should always produce a visible message - KW
* use new valid_hostname to also check telnet, tn3270, and rlogin hostnames
before calling the external program (after most invalid character have
already been stripped). Added a fflush(stdout) to make sure messages are
visible before external program is called - KW
* made changes equivalent to the 1998-12-31 HTSACopy and HTSACat modification
to the LY_FIND_LEAKS versions of those functions. Having source and target
string for StrAllocCopy or StrAllocCat overlap (or being equal) should be
considered a programming error, but at least one place in LYEdit.c currently
seems to do it and rely on the new behavior. (Editing current file sometimes
didn't work with LY_FIND_LEAKS) - KW
* closed memory leaks in LYKeymap.c, provided for memory cleanup at exit of
LYCgi.c environment strings - KW
* explicitly put HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET strings into
lynxcgi environment only if they are non-empty, i.e., set to something in
lynx.cfg or the personal configuration or Options screen. This makes the
environment a lynxcgi scripts sees resemble more closely that of a remote CGI
script handling a request from Lynx with the same configuration - HTTP.c also
only sends Accept-{Language,Charset} headers if preferred language and
preferred charset (respectively) have been set to non-empty strings.
(Strictly speaking, an empty Accept-* header has a different meaning from a
non-existing one, but it doesn't make much sense to generate empty Accept-*
headers, since they mean "nothing is accepted".) There are other differences
in the lynxcgi environment (e.g. HTTP_ACCEPT isn't set, ",iso-8859-1;q=0.01"
etc. isn't appended to HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, apart from missing
redirections), but apparently nobody has needed a more exact CGI emulation
for real scripts - KW
* removed sending of "Negotiate: trans" in HTTP.c since it violates transparent
content negotiation specs, added comments - KW
* correct error handling in CF_INET_ADDR, which did not restore $LIBS when no
applicable library was found for inet_addr (reported by IC) - TD
* correction to CF_TERMCAP_LIBS, which used inconsistent spelling for the cache
variable, so predefined termcap/terminfo library was not necessarily
detected - TD
* resolved autoconf 2.13 problem, resync configure script with patched
autoconf 2.13 - TD
1999-01-18 (2.8.2dev.14)
* use HTSprintf0 in LYCurses.c, LYForms.c, LYGetFile.c, LYJump.c - TD
* modify LYCheckMail so it does not continue to report new mail when the mail
file's modification time differs from its access time (reported by LV) - TD
* add check for inet_addr function, and (preferred) inet_aton. The first
function is reported to be sometimes in -lresolv, or -lbind when it is not
present in the conventional network libraries (from report by
mattack@area.com and comments by HN) - TD
* resync config.sub, config.guess with autoconf 2.13.19990117 (not yet
configure, since autoconf 2.13 contains some new bugs) - TD
* modified handling of untranslatable charsets, after noticing that a page
with charset=ISO-2022-JP produced an alert message with a truncated
"iso-2022-j". Looking more closely, the code could also result in memory
corruption in some cases. Compared with older versions, then changed the
code to something somewhat like what was intended there. But we don't have
an "Other ISO Latin" display character set any more; maybe those `else'
blocks should just have disappeared completely - KW
* minor changes to SortaSGML DTD for PARAM, THEAD - KW
* make "Alert" statusline prefix localizable - KW
* extend fixtext.sh to also change continued lines - KW
* changed LYCheckForProxyURL to act more like it appears to have been indented,
and clarify comment. Minor change in is_url - KW
* prevent removal of hidden link number from bookmark document in a very
obscure case of a bookmarked ISMAP link - KW
* HText_SubmitForm: make sure query is always allocated, even if the set of
form fields to be sent turned out to be empty - KW
* some comments corrected in HTML.c, LYCharSets.c - KW
* tweak in curses_w_style for display without color - KW
* remove minor memory leak in LYDownload.c - KW
* changed error handling in LYTraversal.c to make sure terminal gets restored
to sane mode before showing error message and exiting - KW
* increased VALUE_SIZE for buffer in HTMIME.c from 1024 to 5120. Someone
needed increase for long Set-Cookie headers - KW
* two new functions in HTList.c to reverse and to combine lists - KW
* Lynx was using the wrong precedence for entries within a mailcap (relative to
other entries from the same file): RFC 1524 says "The configuration
information will be obtained from the FIRST matching entry in a mailcap
file[...]", but Lynx effectively gave precedence to the last match. Recent
Debian packages of lynx have had a patch applied to change this, but that
patch also seems to affect the precedence order relative to viewers defined
in other places, i.e., lynx.cfg and HTInit.c. The patch here instead changes
the precedence of mailcap entries form the same files to RFC-like behavior,
by reordering the list generated from a mailcap file after we have finished
reading it in. It leaves the order relative to viewers from other sources
unchanged. Maybe it should be made configurable whether Lynx's traditional
precedence or the new one is used; currently there is just a #define in
HTInit.c which could be changed to revert to traditional behavior - KW
* add checks for null return from malloc to LYCurses.c, LYStrings.c,
(patch by John Bley)
* add support for HP Roman8 as a display character set. HP Roman8 is used by
Hewlett-Packard terminals and hpterm, HP's version of xterm. The character
repertoire is largely similar to ISO Latin 1 but the code points are all
mixed up (patch by Christian Weisgerber)
* modify WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAAUtil.c::HTAA_setupReader(): to use
malloc'd buffer rather than static buffer, to avoid overflow (patch by Thomas
Braun <Thomas.Braun@link-up.de>)
* modifications to allow building the DOS lynx port with support of gettext for
producing messages in various languages. The DOS port of the gettext package
still needs minor tweaking to get it to function properly, but this shouldn't
be a problem for most people trying to compile lynx for DOS themselves.
Rather than put yet more DOS-specific makefiles in the distribution, I put
the changes to the makefiles within comments, which can easily be removed to
enable the changes - DK
* add a comment about LYUCcharset struct "UChndl" field. Tweak trace
messages - LP
* fix parsing of ALT=value attribute when the value is not quoted. When the
first character is not us-ascii it was corrupted by chartrans in all versions
of lynx. Fix case S_equals in SGML_character() - LP
* chartrans: ignore RAW_TOGGLE key and do not change LYUseDefaultRawMode if
current document's charset specified explicitly, add status message. (Let
user switch toggle only when necessary, to avoid future problems :-) - LP
* chartrans: change the default value of PREPEND_CHARSET_TO_SOURCE in lynx.cfg
from FALSE to TRUE (better safe than sorry) - LP
* reorder forms-based options menu (cosmetic): rename "HTML error tolerance"
to "HTML error recovery", reorganize "Character Set Options" section -
"Display character set" went to "Personal preferences" section, "Assume
character set" and "Raw 8-bit or CJK mode" went to "Document Layout" section;
"Execution Links" went to "File management" section. (Hope this helps to
reduce confusion) - LP
* remove "environment variables" section from INSTALLATION, change references
to Lynx User Guide in all docs. Minor tweaks on help files - LP
* add a comment to mime.types and lynx.cfg on SUFFIX definition: "This has an
effect for ftp and local files only, http server does specify MIME type in
the Content-Type header" - LP
1999-01-13 (2.8.2dev.13)
* correct a missing trailing newline in caselower.h (this may be a problem
patching since 'diff' does not like that) - TD
* fix off-by-one alignment download options (reported by LV) - IC
* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in UCAuto.c - TD
* remove stop/start curses calls around UCChangeTerminalCodepage() in
GridText.c, since they are not necessary, and are a little distracting
when running Lynx in xterm - TD
* correct handling in getfile() of ~/ expansion - KW
* modify NSL_FORK logic to prevent child process from running any signal
handlers the parent may have installed - KW
* the logic added to display_page for avoiding unnecessary screen redraw with
partial display (see 1998-12-03) is now disabled if enable_scrollback is set.
Otherwise displayed pages could appear as empty (or with only the current
link drawn) - KW
* modify conditions under which screen style cache is reset (only relevant for
color style in combination with partial display) - KW
* update the INSTALLATION file, reflecting the changes between the two DJGPP
versions of GCC in use. Also, change optimization to -O2 in the other two
DOS makefiles - DK
* add support for ISO 8859-15, i.e., "Latin 9", make corrections to DEC
Multinational character translations (patch by Christian Weisgerber
<naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>)
* modify po/makefile.inn to use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs script
(reported by LV) - TD
* modify print_help_and_exit() to print values for the simple options, i.e.,
toggle, integer and string, as part of "lynx -help" (request by
mattack@area.com) - TD
* correct sense shown for Old_DTD variable in LYOptions.c (reported by DK) -TD
* correct order of params for non-Unix use of HTAddParam in LYBookmark.c
(reported by DK) -TD
1998-12-31 (2.8.2dev.12a)
* delete unused 'PREVAIL' color-style code from HTML.c, merge a couple of
sections of logic with TrimColorClass, and change Style_className to
a dynamically-allocated string - TD
* modify fmt_tempname() to check for buffer overflow - TD
* check/modify for potential buffer overflows: HTAlert.c, LYBookMark.c,
LYKeymap.c, LYPrint.c (including splitting it up into functions) - TD
* change GetOptValues to return status separately from the decoded value, in
case the options form is damaged (suggested by LP) - TD
* add new function HTAddXpand to use in special case where Lynx is building
shell command using data from user's configuration, which should not be
quoted. Use this in LYEdit.c to allow $EDITOR to be given as the editor
name (request by PG) - TD
* add new function LYOpenTraceLog, to combine logic in LYMain.c and
LYMainLoop.c, including Lynx's version message - TD
* fix some discrepancies between the code and the documentation (help files),
for the alternate line edit keybindings, that were first included in the
distribution somewhere around -dev.3, or so - KED
* added a delete-to-beginning-of-line (for the alt bindings only), and a help
page that describes the alternate bindings - KED
* improved description of "HTML error tolerance" - KW
* changes for handling lynxcgi: handle failure of execve(), by showing the
system error and then _exit()ing the child process. Make sure REQUEST_METHOD
is always set. Added checks for EINTR and other errors from read() - KW
* DOSPATH or EMX: remove strange code dealing with root of local drive from
is_url() and HTDOS_name()/HTDOS_wwwname(), add right code at the earlier
stage in LYFillLocalFileURL() - LP (thanks KW)
* relax warning from HTAlert to HTUserMsg on REFRESH_URL_NOT_ABSOLUTE - LP
* more tweaks on transfer rate calculation - LP
* modify HTSACopy and HTSACat in case the source and destination are the same
pointer - TD
* tested/removed redundant OS/2 EMX adjustment to filename from LYEdit.c - TD
* optimized LYEdit.c by moving calls on HTSYS_name(filename) to a single place
near the top - LP
* forms-based options menu: prevent spoofing attempts from possible overruns
(e.g., user can doing 'e'dit in 'o'ptions and get core dump if
display_char_set gets an illegal number such as 50, or hang the keyboard with
illegal Line edit style) - LP
* forms-based options menu: add new logical section - Document Layout,
currently with "HTML error tolerance" (TagSoup/SortaSGML), "Pop-up for select
fields", "Show images" (no_alt/labels/links) and "Verbose images". New
switches added for information purposes mostly, they duplicate hot keys but
not so hidden from user's view. Documentation updated also. (Oh yes, "Line
edit style" option is now available when we have a real choice >1) - LP
* split cfg_defs.sh into two script based on revised script from PG - TD
* minor fixes for top-level makefile.in - PG
* fixes for makefiles with gcc 2.8.1 using DJGPP 2.02 (do not use "-c -o"
combination, strip trailing blanks from makefile.sla, change optimization
level to -O2) - DK
* rename New_DTD variable to Old_DTD, change logic for -tagsoup option to be
consistent with sense in lynx.cfg (reported by LP) -TD
1998-12-26 (2.8.2dev.12)
* use HTSprintf0 in LYCgi.c - TD
* add tab-completion on URL's, by using previously-entered strings for
matching (patch by Kari Davidsson <karid@isholf.is>) - TD
* add version number to trace log (patch by IC)
* modify HTDOS_name to be consistent with HTVMS_name, which does not modify
its parameter (reported by LP). Also, modify HTDOS_name and HTDOS_wwwName
so they allocate space for the result rather than using a static buffer - TD
* modify LYEdit.c to use HTAddParam - TD
* make HREF/NAME for "Environment" consistent in Lynx_users_guide.html
(reported by LP) -TD
* correct DOS/EMX logic in LYEdit.c which incremented 'filename' pointer when
its length was greater than 1 rather than recopying the string, causing a
core dump when 'filename' was freed (reported by LP, this applies to
2.8.1rel.2) - TD
* correct sense of 'already_exists()' function from 2.8.2dev.11, which caused
various file-menu operations to stop working (reported by IC) - TD
1998-12-24 (2.8.2dev.11)
* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in about half of the WWW library files where
applicable: HTAABrow.c HTAAServ.c HTAAUtil.c HTAccess.c HTAnchor.c HTDOS.c
HTFTP.c HTFWriter.c HTFile.c HTFinger.c HTFormat.c HTGopher.c - TD
* eliminate most duplicate gettext parameters, reduced the number of files
listed in po/POTFILES.in to a size that may allow build with the Solaris
xgettext utility - TD
* correct rule for remaking po/makefile - TD
* workaround for HPUX sed program, providing '$' anchors for ".*" expressions,
which is redundant, but should be harmless (suggested by Jean-Yves Levesque
<Jean-Yves.Levesque.jyves@nortelnetworks.com>)
* add new help file, keystrokes/environments.html - LP
* fix HTReadProgress(): more accurate transfer rate calculation - LP
* update slang makefile.dos, and corresponding INSTALLATION notes - DK
* correct my integration of IZ's LY_CHANGE_LINK code, which resulted in an
out-of-bounds index into revmap (reported by LP, LV) - TD
* add note about sendmail for Win32 to lynx.cfg - JES
* add note for successful build on NeXT to INSTALLATION (Christian Jensen
<cejensen@winternet.com>)
* add checks for null return from malloc to HTInit.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYUtils.c,
(patch by John Bley)
* remove reference to 'persistent_cookies' in LYCookie.c which prevented
compile when persistent cookies configure option was disabled (report
by PG) - KW
* move assignment to SHELL back from WWW/Library/makefile.in to CommonMakefile,
and revert use of $CONFIG_SHELL in configure script, since this appears to
stop auto-configure from finding working include feature of 'make' on CLIX
(reported by Alex Matulich) - TD
1998-12-16 (2.8.2dev.10)
* FROM_FILE is not used any more for a domain (although it is currently still
defined. Renamed COOKIE_FLAG_PERSISTENT to COOKIE_FLAG_FROM_FILE. Don't
change a domain's "behavior" (ACCEPT_ALWAYS, REJECT_ALWAYS, or QUERY_USER)
just because there was a persistent cookie for it. Users who want to always
accept cookies from a domain without prompting should use
COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - KW
* FREE domain_entry objects when they are not used any more. Other minor leak
removed - KW
* some (few) changes for draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-10.txt. Don't accept
invalid port lists (this may need more tweaking). Added some comments - KW
* try to preserve cookies (within a domain) in the same order in which they
were received, although this is probably not necessary after all. There is
no difference any more w.r.t. insertion into the list between cookies from
the file and cookies from response headers - KW
* use <= instead of < comparison when checking whether a cookie has expired -KW
* don't write expired cookies, cookies with discard attribute, or cookies
without expiration date to persistent file - KW
* don't call HTConfirmCookie for cookies read from file. This doesn't change
the logic since previously HTConfirmCookie allowed all file cookies
anyway - KW
* don't delete the domain_list if it becomes empty. Doing this could result in
unnecessary multiple atexit()'s - KW
* write the cookie file even if we now have no cookies, if we have previously
read cookies from the file. The file should be updated if all cookies that
were in it are expired or superseded or deleted - KW
* when reading file cookies, set attributes in a way that (hopefully) makes
more sense than just ignoring them. See comments in LYLoadCookies.
We are restricted a lot by the choice of a Netscape-compatible cookie file
format, some version 1 properties just cannot be stored in it AFAIK. Some
more tweaking in LYLoadCookies - KW
* setting a domains behavior to accept "A)lways" didn't actually work, it had
the same effect as "P)rompt". Corrected this simple (probably cut-and-paste)
error - KW
* some changes in what is displayed on Cookie Jar page: FROM_FILE is a
property of individual cookies, not of domains as previously. Cookies from
file (which haven't been updated) are shown as "(from a previous session)".
Show expiration time ("Max. Gobble Date") whenever we have one. The state
of the "discard" attribute is already displayed separately - KW
* made color styles code work much better with TagSoup parsing mode. A new
flag bit is set for some tags in HTMLDTD which indicates that, even though
they may be otherwise handled as SGML_EMPTY, this emptiness is fake. This
can only work reasonably for elements that require an end tag (not for LI,
for example) - KW
* added SUMMARY attribute for TABLE element to HTMLDTD (but we don't do
anything with it) - KW
* split_line: Try to account for changes in anchor position and extent in all
possible cases. This improves some cases where the selectable text could
become too short and, in extreme cases, a link could become erroneously
"hidden" - KW
* split_line: color style changes after the split position are moved to the
correct position in the new line - KW
* set TextAnchor's line_num in HText_beginInput, so that split_line can adjust
the input field's position properly if a split moves it to the next line.
Should solve problem reported for www.lycos.com - KW
* don't refuse to read from file-descriptor 0 in HTDoRead for Unix if it is not
a tty. The socket fd from HTDoConnect can be 0 if fd 0 was not open when
lynx was started non-interactively - KW
* increase INIT_LINE_SIZE in HTTP.c slightly from 1024 to 1536, so that for a
typical ethernet MTU the first packet of a response can more often be read in
with a single read() - KW
* add a missing FREE() in HTTP.c - KW
* use case mapping from ftp.unicode.org /Public/UNIDATA for case-insensitive
user search (thanks "Kari E Hurtta" <Kari.Hurtta@ozone.FMI.FI>), new file
src/chrtrans/caselower.h added. This is used instead of UPPER8 assumption
introduced in 2.8 release (see 1998-02-27). There is no difference in speed
though - LP
* fix links in History/Visited Links page for documents with blank
<TITLE></TITLE>, also remove leading spaces from titles to make output a
little better - LP
* use djgpp's <sys/config.h> file, which contains default values for autoconf
style definitions - LP
* updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp for "SEE ALSO" sections - KED, JES
* optimize the test commands specified in the mailcap file by remembering which
tests have been run already. (patch by Marc Huber <marc@sixpack.de>)
* add lint rule to makefile.in, as well as corresponding rule in WWW/... - LV
* update version in makefile.in to 2-8-2 - PG
* fix makefiles to build with DJGPP (problem introduced in dev8) - LP
* use new symbol KEYMAP_SIZE to get rid of various constants relating to the
size of keymap[] array, e.g, 0x293, 659 - TD
* add new mouse and keymap functionality to lynx (IZ):
a) If one clicks mouse *near* a link, the "point/focus" is moved to this link
(without actual activation);
b) One can bind keys with ordinals larger than DO_NOTHING;
c) Primitive context sensitive menu added to the middle button of a mouse
(currently ncurses only);
Current micro-problem with "c" is that I do not know how to refresh a screen
before triggering the action, so if the action chosen from the menu would
not redraw the screen, the menu outline is left on the screen.
* modify LYKeymap.c so that it can show internal keymaps above 0400 as
hexadecimal codes even if they do not appear in the function-key table -IZ
* add HTOptParam to avoid spurious quoting of blanks in rlogin URLs by
HTAddParam - TD
* correct missing assignment in remote_session(), from 2.8.2dev.9 changes for
HTAddParam, which broke telnet/rlogin URLs (reported by IC) - TD
1998-12-12 (2.8.2dev.9)
* change location-not-absolute message from an alert to user-message - TD
* check for EINTR from read() call in HTDoRead, and retry if necessary. This
change only for Unix. Interrupted read() system calls should be rare (or
impossible, depending on the system implementation?) since the read() is only
done after a successful select(), but checking can't hurt - KW
* check for read read() errors in HTDoRead and HTCopy, and generate alert
messages for unexpected errors. HTCopy still returns HT_LOADED to indicate
success if any data have been received before an unexpected error or
disconnection. Previously this happened without any indication to the user
that something was wrong and a document or file might be incomplete. These
changes currently only for Unix - KW
* added/enhanced comments in HTFormat.c to document current behavior of HTCopy,
HTFileCopy, HTGzFileCopy, HTParseSocket, HTParseFile, and HTParseGzFile - KW
* moved definition of HT_NO_DATA to HTUtils.h, changed value of some status
codes to libwww5-like values while we're at it - KW
* correct uninitialized de variable in LYCookie.c when dump_output_immediately
is set. Also, made a slight change to this mode in LYMain.c, so that cookies
received will also be written to the cookie file; cleanup() is not called in
-dump mode (reported by Elwin Oost) - BJP
* correct include-path for chrtrans makefile to allow builds outside the
source tree (Masashi Fujita)
* minor cleanup of LYCookie.c, add some traces - BJP
* add support for content encoding for x-bzip2, bzip2 for suffix "bz2" - HN
* add po directory to install-bin and uninstall rules - TD
* modify the environment variable logic to avoid freeing string given to putenv
until after giving it a new string - TD
* add several environment variables to LYPrint.c - KED
* add ENVIRONMENT section to lynx.man and lynx.hlp - KED
* add installation note about --enable-gzip-help - KED
* update installation notes for WAIS - DK
* add/use new functions for building up command-string for shell commands,
which quote parameters as needed: HTAddParam(), HTEndParam(). Moved the
logic in quote_pathname to HTQuoteParameter, extending that function to quote
the parameter only if it contains characters which are problems with various
shells (e.g., wildcards), and to escape backslashes. In particular, use
these functions to ensure that the user and port strings in HTTelnet.c are
quoted (fixes a hole reported by Art Mulder <art@openbsd.org> - TD
* modify print-to-file logic to permit writing to pipe, provided that the
user does not have no-shell restriction - TD
* split-out logic for LYValidateFilename() from printfile() and LYDownload - TD
* whitespace fixes - BJP
* add configure option --with-nls-datadir, to allow installer to specify
alternate locale data directory. A separate option from --datadir is
required because the GNU gettext code is usually installed under
$(prefix)/share rather $(prefix)/lib - TD
* add configure check for gettimeofday, to implement 0.1 second interval
for skipping HTCheckForInterrupt() - TD
* modify configure script to generate references to $CONFIG_SHELL rather than
/bin/sh, to allow some testing with alternate shells. Autoconf uses this
variable for a similar purpose - TD
* correct missing case for 'o', octal in StrAllocVsprintf (reported by IC) - TD
* fix -restrictions=bookmark check in forms-based options menu (reported by KW
& Rodiger Geys) - LP
* fix memory leaks in LYPrint.c and UCdomap.c - KW
* when printing HEAD to email use URL in the subject, was title. (it was
especially annoying when we have 8bit title being sent as 7bit: no charset
information is supplied for letters with 7bit message body) - LP
* remove "temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by
introducing a flag in HText_beginInput()" from 1998-09-12 since it is now not
needed after KW's changes in HText_trimHightext. - LP
1998-12-03 (2.8.2dev.8)
* use HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 in LYCookie.c, LYLocal.c - TD
* correct logic in OpenHiddenFile, which did not check if a failure to open a
file for append was due to the file's not existing and hence causing
IsOurFile to return failure. This caused the -traversal option to fail
(reported by Francis Irving <francis@ncgraphics.co.uk>, applies to
2.8.1rel.2) - TD
* fixed line number removal code in HText_endAnchor in several places, it was
modifying the wrong line which could lead to memory corruption - KW
* tweaks in HText_startAnchor and HText_endAnchor for handling link numbers.
Don't swallow space after number if line was split. Find link number on
previous line even it it is at the very end. Adjust line split position after
number removal. Generate TRACE output in interesting cases - KW
* prevent havoc (access to already freed memory etc.) caused by multiple
recursive invocations of HTAnchor_delete on the same HTParentAnchor. This
does not seem to actually happen normally during a session, but can occur
when the HTAnchor structures are cleaned up while handling a terminating
signal or outofmem condition - KW
* reset the HTAnchor "underway" flag during final cleanup, so structures are
not prevented from being freed. This also should only make a difference when
handling a terminating signal or outofmem condition - KW
* show sticky-bit in directory listings - LV
* correct options-message on Print page - IC
* update installation note about freewais library (reported by Chris Maden
<crism@oreilly.com>) - TD
* improvements to mouse code, ncurses-based, from IZ (Ilya Zakharevich):
a) Mouse navigation inside text entry fields;
b) Mouse navigation to a text entry field (including an empty one)
c) Mouse navigation to a specific position of a text field (since I do not
know which fields are text fields, I implemented "b" and "c" for
F_TEXTAREA_TYPE and F_TEXT_TYPE only, search for these symbols in the
patch);
d) Mouse navigation in menus: To scroll, one can click on top/bottom border
(single=byline, double=bypage, triple=beg/end), or above/below menu
(single=bypage, double=beg/end)) mouse-3 ==> quit;
e) Double-click-1 on the first and last row are interpreted as goto-
start/end/main-window (depending on the location of the click).
Other Changes:
a) Ask ncurses for all mouse events, but increase mouseinterval() to simulate
current behavior (which is effectively an infinite mouseinterval() +
masking of repeated clicks);
b) Earlier clicking to the left of a link would activate the link. I see no
use for this, so consider this a bug.
* HText_trimHightext (GridText.c): don't apply final adjustment repeatedly to
an anchor that has already been handled by this function; the function may be
called repeatedly if partial display is enabled. Some other changes in this
function, to interact better with the other GridText.c functions, especially
for partial display mode. We don't have to handle all anchors if the new
parameter "final" is not set.
Also empty anchors should now generally not any more move down over empty
lines, if they happen at a line end. Made some trace messages give more
information - KW
* color styles: reset screen style cache to avoid random coloring when a link
is unhighlighted - KW
* tweak in HText_setLastOptionValue: if an OPTION tag was directly followed by
several newlines, characters could be dropped - KW
* tweak havevisible() function in LYBookmark.c to compare against Unicode
value rather than ASCII when checking for blanks - LP
* ifdef user/group function caching calls so that this builds with djgpp, which
doesn't need/support this (patch by Gisle Vanem)
* documentation updates for NLS - HN
* separate some html from gettext in LYCgi.c, LYHistory.c, LYLocal.c - JES
* avoid setting recent_sizechange during the very first start_curses call for
ncurses. This would result in an unnecessary refresh after loading the first
document - KW
* added logic to display_page to avoid repainting the full screen contents in a
specific situation: if it has been called before (for the same lines in the
same document) during partial display, and is now being called normally (not
during partial display). If this applies, the normal line content is not
redrawn, but the title line and form fields are still repainted, and updating
of the links structures is always done. There are additional checks for
recent_sizechange and a text->stale flag (which was already implemented but
unused) to do the full redraw if that may be needed. This should avoid
unnecessary screen 'blinking' with curses when partial display is used (which
didn't seem to happen with slang) - KW
* modify SGML.c to check for SGML_ELEMENT tag contents, fixing a case where an
entity that appears within a TABLE but outside of any table row TR will be
displayed by Lynx _without_ its entities being interpreted (analysis by Alan
J Flavell <flavell@a5.ph.gla.ac.uk>, applies to 2.8.1rel.2) - KW
* check that stdin is really a tty before trying to select from it in the
NSL-FORK logic in HTParseInet(), file HTTCP.c (reported by Kim DeVaughn, for
someone who was unable to run lynx -dump in a cron job, applies to
2.8.1rel.2) - TD, BL
* updates for lynx_help_main.html (JES, IC).
* change fopen for write in LYCookie.c to LYNewTxtFile so that the resulting
file will be readable by only the owner (Bill Nottingham <wen2@po.cwru.edu>
suggested using umask, but that may not be portable enough) - TD
* use CONST in some places in UCdomap.c and makeuctb, to make more tables
shareable (suggested by LP) - TD
* fixes for SunOS K&R compiler with/without unproto wrapper, i.e., definition
of 'const' - TD
1998-11-23 (2.8.2dev.7)
* convert KEY_ENTER to newline in LYgetch() to make Lynx work with IRIX's
iris-ansi terminfo description, which equates the kent capability with
carriage return. Doing this will allow lynx to use the keypad "enter" key as
an alias for carriage return on most terminals - KW
* correct a few missing ifdef's for disabling the partial-display logic - TD
* add/use new functions HTAA_UidToName(), HTAA_NameToUid(), HTAA_GidToName()
and HTAA_NameToGid() to hide details of code which uses pwd.h and grp.h,
as well as to cache the returned user/group names, improving performance
in the dired screen - TD
* modify HTCheckForInterrupt() to check for interrupt no more than one per
second, since this check is comparatively slow - TD
* modify ANSI_VARARGS case for HTSprintf() and HTSprintf0() to always use
ANSI prototypes, since __STDC__ may not necessarily be defined on some
systems, resulting in an inconsistent definition - PG
* add install-full rule to makefile.in - LV
* modify PutDefs macro in LYShowInfo.c to check for nonnull table[N].value,
which may be null due to limitations of cfg_defs.sh script on some
platforms where an empty string was intended (reported by LV, PG, applies
to 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
* correct typo in 'make distclean' rule; an extra '-' prevented removal of
.orig and .rej files (patch by LV).
1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.6)
* add call on dbug_init to LYMain.c, allowing use of the debugging code built
into the WATTCP code which is included in the DJGPP port of lynx. This is
activated by placing lines in the WATTCP.CFG file for:
DEBUG.MODE= (choices are HEADERS, DUMP, or ALL)
DEBUG.PROTO= (choices are TCP, UDP, or ALL)
DEBUG.FILE= (name of log file. Defaults to WATTCP.DBG)
This adds about 2K to the size of the stripped, compressed executable. You
get a log of the headers and/or a binary dump of the packets sent and
received. Maybe this will help in determining where ftp is failing in this
port - DK
* correct definitions for ANSI_VARARGS, HAVE_STDARG_H in HTUtils.h (reported
by LP, for djgpp) - TD
* correct logic in StrAllocVsprintf(), remove spurious test on dst_len
(analysis by LV) - TD
1998-11-21 (2.8.2dev.5)
* modify HTLoadFile() to make compressed files work with OS/2 EMX and
LYSystem() to convert forward slashes in pathnames to backslashes, also for
EMX (patches by Ilya Zakharevich).
* documentation nits (apostrophes) in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h - LV
* fix inconsistent newlines in po/it.po (report by Irving_Wolfe@Wolfe.net) - TD
* modify config.guess, added Intergraph 2430 CLIX machines (reported by Alex
Matulich <matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil>) - TD
* minor fix in LYCharSets.c according to recent changes in UCDefs.h introduced
by IBM OS/2 codepage number - LP
* modify configure script to work with --enable-nls built into a subdirectory
of the source tree (reported by PG) - TD
* disable regeneration of intl/po2tbl.sed and po/POTFILES if --disable-nls
configure option is specified - TD
* add configure test for stdarg.h vs varargs.h - TD
* fixes to work with SunOS K&R compiler - TD
* don't trim trailing and leading spaces from unformatted text lines in some
cases (split_line in GridText.c). Prevents corruption of some uuencoded
files when they are displayed and then 'P'rinted (although 'D'ownload should
be used instead) - KW
* some changes in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). Splitting of long SOURCE
lines now works with color styles - KW
* workaround for multiple anchors in the same (invalid) HTML document with the
same NAME and different destinations (HTAnchor.c) - KW
* check for 'z'ap while constructing local directory listings (non-VMS only, in
HTFile.c) - KW
* added a couple outofmem checks (HTAnchor.c). Minor TRACE message change in
GridText.c for -tlog / USE_TRACE_LOG disabled - KW
* when adding bookmark entries, don't accept a title string which appears to
consist only of blank characters (LYBookmark.c). When rendering a bookmark
file, use hiddenlinks=merge counting, so that numbers after entries with
empty titles don't get out of whack (GridText.c). This should prevent 'R'
from removing the wrong bookmark entry - KW
* prevent generation of some unnecessary temp files when constructing mailcap
file test commands (HTInit.c) - KW
* include LYLeaks.h in UCdomap.c for memory leak detection - KW
* fixed various memory leaks (UCdomap.c, LYShowInfo.c, LYReadCFG.c, LYMain.c,
LYDownload.c, LYBookmark.c, HTML.c, DefaultStyle.c) - KW
* escape '&' and '<' in HTML generated to display current lynx.cfg option
values (LYReadCFG.c) - KW
* revert logic in split_line. Emphasis highlighting that should extend over
several lines was being lost at line breaks (GridText.c). (IsSpecialAttrChar
probably shouldn't return true for LY_SOFT_NEWLINE since in most places it
tests whether to skip a character position, but as long as this special char
is only used in SOURCE mode it cannot mess up any anchor positions so it
should be ok. - KW
* correct character counting in SOURCE display continuation lines. A
highlighted search target would be shown shifted left by one character
position because the LY_SOFT_NEWLINE special was displayed as '+' but not
counted (GridText.c) - KW
* prevent generation of invalid/unparsable comments if
UCSaveBookmarksInUnicode is in effect, other minor changes in
LYBookmark.c - KW
* correction for color styles in HText_appendCharacter (GridText.c). At some
point a memmove was replaced by a for loop, but source and destination were
reversed and the counter was wrong - KW
* modify HTSprintf/HTSprintf0 to use a more generic approach to varargs by
using only va_alist in the parameter list - TD
* correct html expression in LYShowInfo.c of 2.8.2dev.3 which did not allow the temp
file with the lynx.cfg settings to be accessed from the Configuration
Definitions page (patch by IC (Ismael Cordeiro)).
* correct "Exiting" message format in cleanup_sig(), which had unexpanded %d
(reported by BJP) - TD
* add to config.hin the definitions set by AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro (PG pointed
out that this also sets 'inline', needed for GNU gettext) - TD
* modify MakeNewTitle() to check for null pointer, fixing core dump with
verbose images when value[src_type] is null (reported by John Bley
<jbb6@acpub.duke.edu> for 2.8.1rel.2) - TD
1998-11-18 (2.8.2dev.4)
* change default for configure option of NLS (gettext) to disabled until we
finish porting it to implementations other than GNU gettext. Also,
change default for include-gettext configure option to "with" - TD
* suppress cookie-storing if the value is null - BJP
* ifdef'd alternative set of line-edit bindings with EXP_ALT_BINDINGS, add
configure option --enable-alt-bindings, rename DELEOL to DELEL, remove
binding of DELEL to '\' - TD
* add alternative set of line-edit bindings to change the behavior of the ^B
and ^F line editor bindings to provide emacs/tcsh like behavior (cursor
left/right), instead of "word" deletes. Corrected a bug in the ^R (LYE_DELN)
function, which is described as "delete next character", but was in fact
performing identically to ^D (LYE_DELC) "delete current character". Added a
function called LYE_DELEL, which does the expected thing, and deletes
from the current cursor position, to the EOL.
New bindings:
^B = LYE_BACK cursor backwards
^F = LYE_FORW cursor forwards
^K = LYE_DELEOL delete to end-of-line
^T = LYE_DELNW delete next word
^X = LYE_DELPW delete previous word
^^ = LYE_UPPER upper case line (not active when kbd-layout binding is)
^_ = LYE_LOWER lower case line
KED (Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com>).
* modify to show address to submit to on the statusline when in advanced user
mode. Also fixes one small typo in LYMainLoop.c. (suggested by
<erisson@sw-tech.com>) - BJP
* modify HTParseInet() so that it works if stdin has been redirected to
/dev/null, e.g., when running a cron job (reported by John H DuBois III
<spcecdt@armory.com>) - BL
* minor documentation updates to lynx.cfg (Larry Virden).
* change some character constants from '\hex' and '\octal' form to decimal,
to persuade compilers that upper-128 compares are legal - TD
* ifdef'd KEYBOARD_LAYOUT with EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT, add configure option
--enable-kbd-layout - TD
* implement EXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH for OS/2 EMX (Sergey Svishchev).
* add 'a' response when printing a file to allow append rather than overwrite
(Sergey Svishchev).
* add KEYBOARD_LAYOUT to lynx.cfg, to support character-translation on input,
add missing line editing style selection to Options form. This is enabled
and disabled by the line edit control/uparrow (Sergey Svishchev
<svs@ropnet.ru>).
* use exit_immediately() to reduce some signal-function clutter - LP
* correct dependency in src/makefile.in for cfg_defs.h (Masashi Fujita
<objectx@bandit.co.jp>)
* change quoted includes in intl directory to bracketed includes - TD
1998-11-16 (2.8.2dev.3)
* misc documentation updates for the gettext/internationalization - LP
* rename po/makefile.in.in to po/makefile.inn, and modify distclean rule to
remove the remaining generated files - TD
* preliminary changes to support port to OS/390, some ifdef'd with __MVS__,
some with EBCDIC and NOT_ASCII -PG
* modify LYCookie.c to accept cookies with no value, in case the site resets a
cookie by nulling out the value (reported by Larry Virden) - BJP
* modify cookie parsing to ignore comment lines beginning with a '#' (reported
by Jonathan Bobin indicates that Netscape adds comments back, confusing
Lynx) - BJP
* highlight option letters in old options screen (adapted from patch by Ismael
Cordeiro) - TD
* use HTSprintf functions in HText_SubmitForm(), user_message(),
LYLoadIMGmap(), HTTelnet.c. (The HTTelnet.c modifications fix a security
hole reported by Martin Mokrejs) - TD
* add HTSprintf, HTSprintf0 functions, to use in resolving potential buffer
overflows - TD
* modify HTVMS_purge() to rename the remaining file to version 1 unless a
permissions problem was encountered - TD
1998-11-10 (2.8.2dev.2)
* some testing against Solaris gettext implementation, enough to see that it is
not really compatible either source or binary with GNU gettext. For the time
being, I recommend building NLS support only with GNU gettext (and
--with-included-gettext to avoid conflict with Solaris' gettext in the
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 - JES, TD
1998-09-20 (2.8.1dev.29-intl)

1998-09-08 (2.8.1dev25-intl)
* Resynch with dev tree - JES
1998-09-07 (2.8.1dev.21-intl p3)
* 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 p2)
* Tested language hooks using src/LYNews.c and Italian messages file
provided by Sabato De Rosa <sabato.derosa@usa.net>. Made changes to
LYMain.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYNews.c and HTNews.c - JES
1998-08-27 (2.8.1dev.21-intl p1)
* 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
<widenius@ling.helsinki.fi>)
* modify get_listen_socket() to check if master_socket is set before attempting
to use it in FD_CLR (patch by Karl-Andre Skevik <karls@kosmo.inet.no>)
* minor documentation fixes - DK
* use $(LIBS) symbol in src/chrtrans/makefile.in (reported by Alois Maier
<m9235159@grz08u.unileoben.ac.at>) -TD
* Fix core dump which may happen after printing-to-email - LP
* Move read_rc() before parsing any command-line arguments (except -help)
so the latter will override any .lynxrc settings. In particular, the problem
was detected with -cookie_file= which was ignored after saving values
from Options menu - LP
* Chartrans bug: LYNXIMGMAP now shows the text in right charset.
(The page was converted twice, fixed by adding META charset to this internal
page. The bug was in all versions of Lynx starting from 2.7.1ac) - LP
* Oops, my typo from pre3 back to 27-09-98: windows-1252 appears twice
in the list of character sets in options menu, was also typo in docs - LP
* modify HTDOS.c to permit compile with K&R compiler - TD
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) -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 <phdm@macqel.be>)
* modify cfg_defs.sh to work when the 'set' command emits double-quotes
(Paul Gilmartin)
* update obsolete copy of HTFWriter.c to add content-encoding for HTFileSuffix
(reported by David Helder <dhelder@umich.edu) - TD
1998-10-17 (2.8.1pre.11)
* add dependency on cfg_defs.h to src/makefile.in for LYShowInfo.o
PG (Paul Gilmartin <pg@sweng.stortek.com>)
* modify add_item_to_list() so that if the restriction flag is omitted from
a download/upload/extern line in lynx.cfg, it is assumed true. Also check
for null command string in LYExtern.c (bug report by HN) - TD
* modify logic in forms-options menu so that assume_char_set now works
correctly for any LYRawMode value by synchronizing gen_options() and
postoptions() via rawmode memory - LP
* correct ifdef'ing in LYShowInfo.c for non-Unix platforms - LP
* modify nsl_fork logic to handle a case where child exits successfully
right after parent's select timed out (reported by Serge Munhoven) - BL
* small updates to lynx_help files and other documentation (BJP, PW, LV).
* add #define's for later work to simplify configuring the maximum number
of cookies (suggested by BJP) - TD
* flush output in makeuctb, as possible fix for build problems on systems that
do not implement POSIX 'exit()' call (reported by Serge Munhoven
<munhoven@mema.ucl.ac.be> and Jan Hlavacek) - TD
* put GOTOBUFFER, JUMPBUFFER and QUIT_DEFAULT_YES back the way they used to be
(majority decision) - TD
1998-10-14 (2.8.1pre.10)
* 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
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>) - TD
* change defaults in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h, add comments - PW
(a) defaults are stated for `verbose' & `KB';
(b) GOTOBUFFER & JUMPBUFFER defaults to TRUE;
(c) QUIT_DEFAULT_YES defaults to FALSE
* restore suggested file name in download menu: it is really useful for other
download methods which should be available in menu when `save to disk' is
disabled. Remove local_path/ prefix (LYNX_SAVE_SPACE if any) from visible
suggested file name string near the top instead - LP
* restore newline position when toggling comments parsing (at least we could
return to previous screen to try comments toggling twice) - LP
* add a link from keystrokes help for edit_help.html (input line keys) - LP
* corrected to make -nostatus command-line option override HTReadProgress - TD
* updates to lynx-dev.html (Al Gilman).
* modify NSL-fork support in HTTCP.c to use waitpid call to reap child
processes which may otherwise become orphaned. The new variable
"dns_patience" represents how many seconds we're willing to wait for DNS to
respond (should later make it configurable) - BL
* modify PutTextInput and PutDefs macros in LYOptions.c and LYShowInfo.c to
avoid pre-ANSI compilers attempting to substitute macro parameters in
coincidental matches within quoted strings - BL
gcc -Wtraditional reports the first, but not the second, which is "n"
substituted into "\n" - TD
* add an error-check for fg/bg values to lynx_chg_color function in case
lynx.cfg specifies color names not in Lynx's table - BL
* modify IsOurFile function to accommodate links-to-links, so that users whose
home directory is reached by that type of path can save .lynxrc file
(reported by PW) - TD
1998-10-04 (2.8.1pre.8)
* modify HTTCP.c to copy soc_in from phost in HTParseInet, making Lynx/32 do
lookups again - WB
* modify LYCurses.c to compile mouse-code with Borland C and PDCURSES 2.3 - WB
* correct backward logic in CF_TERMIOS_AND_CURSES (reported by LE) - TD
1998-10-04 (2.8.1pre.7)
* add special-case CF_TERMIOS_AND_CURSES configure macro (fixes problem
reported by Philippe De Muyter) - TD
* update/reorganize option_help.html - PW
* restore newline position when return from the Print menu or follow a link
from History page (was broken for partial display mode only): LYPop() and
LYPop_num now reinitialize Newline_partial if it happens on getfile stage.
Also remove changes from 1998-06-11 (case LYK_DOWNLOAD) since this is now
protected by HText_new() which never starts. - LP
* tweak suggested filename for download menu: now it we have URL
terminated with "/" (e.g., a directory or possibly root) do one more try -
remove terminating "/" - LP
* download menu: do not show "Suggested file name" when "save to disk disabled"
(requested by HN) - LP
* more tweaks on LYshow_kb_rate - LP
* move fallback definitions for POSIX S_ISLNK, etc., to allow build with
VAX C (reported by Tony Bolton) - TD
* add parentheses to eval-expression in CF_MAKE_INCLUDE configure test to
accommodate bash2 (Tadayoshi Okuma <tad@pht.co.jp>)
1998-10-01 (2.8.1pre.6)
* add EMX to special cases for SetOutputMode, to force stdout to O_BINARY mode
so that downloading binary files will not corrupt them (reported by Ilya
Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>) - TD
* correct missing "\n\" in change to LYrcFile.c for 2.8.1pre.4 (reported by David
Eaton) - TD
* reorder HTCheckForInterrupt() so that partial display mode will work for
VMS (reported by LP) - TD
* fix LYK_DOWNLOAD to restrict downloading remote links for local_host_only,
like it was done for mailto: links recently, see comments where in - LP
* replace few statusline messages with ones from LYMessages.en.h -LP
1998-09-30 (2.8.1pre.5)
* force compile on VMS to use stdarg.h; it was ifdef'd for __STDC__ which
VAX C does not define, though it does support stdarg.h (reported by Tony
Bolton). Test-compile HTVMS_WaisUI.c on Linux to check... - TD
* update url for tcplib in INSTALLATION - DK
* fix HTDOS_name trace massage - LP
* expand "~" in include-statements in lynx.cfg (reported by LP) - TD
* remove some obsolete stuff from INSTALLATION - HN
* DOSPATH fix: user input URL like c:/path/file.ext (begins with drive letter)
now resolved as local path and will not be passed to DNS search in any case
(was running URL guessing process for host "c:" if file.ext not found...)
fix LYFillLocalFileURL() - LP
* fix HTUserMsg2 trace massage - LP
* add user's guide documentation for COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and
COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS - BJP
* change default Unix cookie-file name to "~/.lynx_cookies" - BJP
* customize incremental rendering (Eric Brun <erbrun@bellatlantic.net>):
- add -partial_thres[=NUMBER] option to set the number of lines
- add PARTIAL_THRES config variable in lynx.cfg to set the number of lines
- add partial_thres variable in .lynxrc to set the number of lines.
Selecting save to disk and hitting Accept Changes in options menu will save
this variable to the current value. Haven't looked into making a form
entry for this yet. With -partial_thres command line option, probably not
necessary.
* fix some text in lynx.man and Lynx_user_guide.html. The man change includes
changes to "h" and "k" so they work whether or not vi keys are on - DK
* workaround for inconsistency between slang ports to DOS and other platforms
by suppressing test of SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors. This fixes a problem where
colors change in the slang DOS port when the forms_based option menu is
accepted - DK
1998-09-28 (2.8.1pre.4)
* tentative fix for HPUX sed problems (reported by jones.peter@uqam.ca) - TD
* update lynx.man and lynx.hlp to reflect new command-line options - TD
* minor documentation fix - LP
* miscellaneous fixes for build on VMS (reported by Tony Bolton) - TD
* tweak 'const' assignment for VMS (in LYReadCFG.c and LYPrint.c) - LP
* clarify discussion of download in Lynx user's guide (Al Gilman).
* trim trailing newline from lines read from cookie file so that Lynx does
not send embedded newlines in the cookie list - BJP
1998-09-27 (2.8.1pre.3)
* fix a place in cookie_add{accept,reject}list() where cookies would be deleted
from memory if a persistent cookie had the same domain as an entry in
COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP
* move Lynx's writing of persistent cookies to COOKIE_FILE from happening when
you enter the Cookie Jar page to quit time, before cleaning up temporary
files - BJP
* Lynx_user_guide.html: add text about lynx.cfg - LP
* forms-options: options names moved 2 columns to the right (is it good?) - LP
* fix reading .lynxrc "character_set" (trim trailing spaces in fullname) - LP
* fix ReadProgress message for LYshow_kb_rate (while <1024 bytes received
we showed byte-transfer rate even in KB mode), extra dot removed - LP
* DOS text files: opening text mode switch now incorporated in LYNewTxtFile/
LYAppendToTxtFile and hope for the best - LP
1998-09-25 (2.8.1pre.2)
* fixed forms submission charset: was broken by me in dev26 (HText_SubmitForm()
in GridText.c) - LP
* documentation updates for verbose images - LP
* minor fix for trace message in TrimHightext() -LP
* add compatibility with 2.8/2.7.2 lynx.cfg and (especially) .lynxrc - old
"character_set" parameter now acceptable - LP
* add OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET symbol to lynx.cfg to make mail more recognizable
by remote recipient, it may be "US-ASCII" for 7 bit approximation as the
safest case or any other value. If blank, use display character set
(default, compatibility). Currently implemented only for "subject" in
"print-to-email" - LP
* fix SGML.c so invalid characters are not dispalayed in hex UHHHH but just
omitted as already done for plain/text mode - LP
* fix download' suggested file name (8bit) - LP
* correct logic error in "Change Location" command, and allow "~" there in
addition to the existing "~/" prefix (reported by Ismael Cordeiro) - TD
* ifdef'd out "don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese" from 2.8.1dev.23,
with symbol EXP_JAPANESE_SPACES, FIX_JAPANESE_SPACES based on discussion with
HN, LP - TD
* correct missing '\' in generated sed-script for "make install-help" rule,
which changed a couple of "/html" substrings to ".html" (reported by BL) - TD
* modify cfg_defs.sh script to handle empty token in config.cache, e.g., a line
such as "foo=${foo=}" (reported by Philip Chong <pchong@boopsie.ml.org>) - TD
* modify so that lynx_cfg_infopage() and lynx_compile_opts() pages are not
invoked when Lynx is running -anonymous - TD
1998-09-22 (2.8.1pre.1)
* correct logic error in parse_restrictions() which caused infinite loop,
probably from changes in dev.8 (reported by HN) - TD
* add SHOW_KB_RATE symbol to lynx.cfg to allow user to control whether
HTReadProgress should show KB/sec or bytes/sec - TD
* modify HTReadProgress to allow user to display KB/sec or bytes/sec - BL
* add/use new function LYstyles(), to force initialization of styles[] array
when it is used outside HTML.c; fixes a problem with Lynx not using styles
for files listed on the command line - TD
* correct keymap strings for F1 and DO_KEY - TD
* add keymap table entries for F1, to accommodate slang which appears to ignore
terminal description when keymaps are defined - TD
1998-09-20 (2.8.1dev.29)
* add checks/warnings for user agent string in forms-options menu - TD
* change render_item to force a '/' before substituted path or directory
strings if (as in OS/2 EMX) absolute filenames do not normally begin with a
'/' -TD
* modify HTnameOfFile_WWW() to interpret an empty acc_method as a local file,
allowing its use in permit_location(), making OS/2 EMX dired-mode change
permissions work - TD
* make download and print menus a little more compact in intermediate/advanced
user modes - TD
* correct filename shown in download menu - LP
* change behavior of configure --enable-forms-options switch. By default, both
old and new options menu are available via a command-line toggle
"-forms_options" or lynx.cfg statement "FORMS_OPTIONS:TRUE/FALSE". Configure
--enable-forms-options now _disables_ old-style code, which is
ifdef'ed with "#ifndef EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS" - LP
* add more pointer-checks in GridText.c so that "lynx LYNXDOWNLOAD://" does
not crash (reported by Wilson Cheung) - TD
* add special case to handle NNTPSERVER environment variable, which had been
lowercased as part of LYReadCFG.c cleanup (reported by Wilson Cheung
<wcheung@netcom.com>) - TD
* modify info-page to add link to new internal page showing the noncomment
lines from lynx.cfg - LP, TD
* use function wwwName to reduce clutter - LP
* create "lynx.cfg Information" page, comments skipped, "include" OK.
The link is available from '='InfoPage and 'O'ptions menu.
Since DJGPP/Win32 binary have no built-in absolute path for distributions
lynx.cfg those ports will look for a copy of lynx.cfg in lynx_help/
for most advanced info/comments (if you made http:// depository for lynx help
please care of it) - LP
* tweak helpfilepath URL (for DOSPATH only) - LP
* some cleanup of cp852, cp850, cp775 - LP
1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.28)
* minor fix to make PRCS ProjectDate print in "dd mmm yyyy" form - TD
1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.27)
* minor fixes for recent (dev24 and dev25) chartrans changes - LP
* add LYNX_DATE definitions in userdefs.h; Info Page now shows the date of your
lynx along with version number and a link to the latest sources. - LP
* use ECHO_CC symbol in install-help rule to control whether the sed commands
are echoed - TD
* corrected install-help rule to avoid getting compress-suffix repeated in
the generated/updated files - TD
* documentation nit for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (Michael Warner)
* use getsockname_s rather than getsockname for djgpp (from patch by Gisle
Vanem) - DK
* add .bz2 suffix to lynx.cfg and HTInit.c, for bzip2 utility - DK
* modify store_cookie to suppress warning message for invalid domain if Lynx is
setup to accept all cookies - LV
* modify/expand LYLocalFileToURL() function, getting rid of most places where
inline concatenation is used for "file://localhost/<filename>", as well
as eliminating a number of static buffers - TD
* move fallback definitions for POSIX S_ISLNK, etc., out of NeXT ifdef's, to
make this compile on Apollo (reported by David Eaton) - TD
* restructured pathname-tests in LYLocal.c, using common utility functions
ok_stat, ok_lstat, ok_file_or_dir to simplify freeing pointer allocated
by HTfullURL_toFile - TD
* modify HTLocalName, making it a macro around a more flexible function
HTnameOfFile_WWW, to reuse logic for stripping off "file://localhost" and
"file:" prefixes, fixing some places where a spurious '/' would be left in
EMX local filenames (other macros: HTfullURL_toFile, HTpartURL_toFile) - TD
* modify configure script macro CF_PATH_PROGS for OS/2 EMX, so that compiled-in
utility pathnames work - TD
* use HTDOS.c module for OS/2 EMX, since it has similar device syntax - TD
* correct logic for wrapping long lines, to not use the rightmost column of the
screen, fixes a problem with duplicated character (reported by LP) - TD
* correct logic for dumping screen to file, so that blank lines are retained,
not counted in the logic for pruning soft-newlines which supports wrapped
lines - TD
* add info and user messages to traces - TD
1998-09-12 (2.8.1dev.26)
* change behavior of NSL_FORK and related I/O (BL):
- Make URL guessing (www.huh.com? www.huh.org? www.huh.net?) interruptible.
- Make URL guessing from the command line interruptible.
- Use select() instead of FIONREAD. This makes it work on OSes where
previously it only *looked* like it was working.
- select() on stdin as well as the child pipe, when using [n]curses (not
SLANG). This allows interrupt to be processed instantly, without
up-to-1-second delay.
- While looping, 1 second at a time, bail out after "too many" (currently 50)
loops: just in case something weird happens, like select() returning some
unexpected error that we ignore.
- Make sure child processes are always killed and reaped.
- Close pipe ends as soon as possible.
- Now write the length down the pipe (using a known-to-the-program length of
sizeof(int)) first -- this both helps workaround old CMU TCP bugs and the
fact that select() doesn't let us get number of bytes ready, like FIONREAD
does.
* change default for NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL to TRUE (patch by HN)
* use url for "W3C HTML Validation Service" rather than "A Kinder, Gentler HTML
Validator" -TD
* update url for HTML Quick Reference Guide (report by LE) - TD
* modify verbose images to show ISMAPs and USEMAPs (patch by LE).
* fix typos in AttrList.h, LYStrings.h (reported by LV & HN) - TD
* Chartrans recovery and cleanup: by introducing an invariant
"current_char_set and UCLYhndl_for_unspec always valid charsets" we solve
possible problems with invalid/undeclared charsets. Use
'safeUCGetLYhndl_byMIME()' for reading charset information from
lynx.cfg/userdefs.h/command line switches to recover possible typos by
fallback to ISO-8859-1; If UCLYhndl_for_unrec or UCLYhndl_HTFile_for_unspec
not set explicitly - now fallback to UCLYhndl_for_unspec (was before, but
not clear in certain places). Add comments to UCMap.h, add comments on
chartrans initialization in LYMain.c. UCAssume_localMIMEcharset and
UCAssume_unrecMIMEcharset now removed (UCLYhandl_* do all the stuff). - LP
* LYCharSets.c: LYRawMode code simplified and comments added. It was realized
that UCAssume_MIMEcharset may differ from its handler as LYRawMode history.
Also: HTMLSetRawModeDefault() moved into HTMLUseCharacterSet() to reduce
clutter, declare HTMLSetCJKCharacterSet() as PRIVATE. - LP
* more "big5" bugs fixed (in HTMIME.c and HTFile.c); function Set_HTCJK() added
to LYCharSets.c - LP
* LYCharUtils.c: META charset code corrected against 2.7.2, obsolete code
removed - LP
* partial mode now repaint the screen in one stage with a complete display
('display_lines' received, fix in HTPartialDisplay()). Incremental rendering
of the first page may be annoying on slow connection (reported by Nelson
Henry Eric <nelsonhe@nara.kindai.ac.jp>) - LP
* temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by introducing
a flag in HText_beginInput(), so this side effect still only happens for long
documents with forms input mixed with normal href= link. - LP
* print menu: fixed document URL near the top (was temp file name) - LP
* forms-options menu: fixed screen size in Novice mode - LP
* limit length of strings copied via tok_values[] in LYCookie.c - TD
* clean up a few memory leaks in cookie_add_acceptlist() and
cookie_add_rejectlist() in LYCookie.c. These were leaking 4 bytes for each
entry in COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - BJP
* fix to LYLoadCookies() which was causing duplicate invalid cookies to be
loaded - BJP
* split out install-doc rule in top-level makefile to install extra
documentation files in $(libdir)/lynx_doc (request by HN) - TD
* improved algorithm to set 'secure_value', used in forms-options to circumvent
spoofing (based on comments from Mike Castle) - TD
* integrate WB's mouse changes (see 1997-04-24) for page-up/down into the Unix
flavors of mouse support (e.g., ncurses and slang) - TD
* use ncurses define_key to implement lynx-keymaps (see dev.10) - TD
* modify slang keymap code to work with slang 0.99-38 - TD
* replace several ifdef'd pathname constructions to use LYAddPathToHome() - TD
* make keymaps file consistently named on Unix and VMS - TD
* remove redundant "Lynx" from internal-page titles (suggested by LP) - TD
* remove install-log makefile target, generate cfg_defs.h file directly from
lynx_cfg.h and config.cache, to compile-in the configuration-definitions
rather than rely on external file lynx_site.txt - TD
1998-09-06 (2.8.1dev.25)
* corrected compiled-in path for lynx_site.txt - TD
* implement logic for exec-links in forms-options page - TD
* add configure options --enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts - TD
* correct logic for show-color in forms-options page (reported by DK) - TD
* implement logic to set $DISPLAY in forms-options page - TD
* add/use functions LYsetXDisplay() and LYgetXDisplay() to reduce clutter - TD
* retain help-link on internal pages only for those where the pages would be
pushed onto the history stack, and only in novice mode - TD
* absorb LYSystem.h into LYUtils.h, adding LYSystem() and LYSysShell functions
to LYUtils.c to hide djgpp clutter - TD
* limit strings passed to mailer in LYMail.c to 7-bit ASCII, converting other
characters to '?'. This guards against trash on the end of the mailing
address in a mailto link (from Duncan Simpson <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
* add fallback definitions for <sys/stat.h> S_xxx macros to tcp.h (from report
by Francisco A Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu> that OpenStep 4.0
lacks definition for S_IWOTH) - TD
* modify quote_pathname() so that for DJGPP it does not put single-quotes
around the result - DK
* correct a missing assignment to turn bold off in split_line (GridText.c) - LE
* Fixed: forms input in display_partial mode! Previously hightext was printed
at wrong positions while loading was in process (try -debug_partial to see
the bug). Fix made in HText_pageDisplay: we call HText_trimHightext() which
was the main part of HText_endAppend() before. Seems no more problems
reported from incremental rendering mode! - LP
* set PARTIAL mode ON by default, unless it disabled in lynx.cfg or by
configure --disable-partial option - LP
* restore temporary -debug_partial switch, broken in dev.23 - LP
* made trace in HText_appendCharacter() a little more readable
for lynx special characters - LP
* chartrans: human-readable character set names in Options Menu now changed
according to Netscape 4.x style - "language (MIMEname)", it looks more useful
and reduce chaos in people's heads. Documentation corrected
(option_help.html/Lynx_User_guide.html). Minor tip: "Central and Eastern
European" was truncated to "Eastern European" because of space limitation in
popup menu. (Changes in chrtrans/*.tbl, LYCharSets.c, also docs including
userdefs.h/lynx.cfg). Since names were changed, users on display other than
iso-8859-1 should go to options menu and resave .lynxrc (and probably correct
lynx.cfg - character_set now uses MIME notation in sync with other charset
settings, although complete name string is still acceptable for this
field) - LP
* an attempt made to tweak the code replacing lynx internal 'main' charset '0'
(iso-8859-1 in fact) with its MIME name - LP
* rename ifdef EXP_8BIT_TOUPPER in favor of lynx.cfg switch
FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER - LP
* remove a lot of "(char **)" casts from HTML.c which obscured some type
mismatches - TD
* add/use functions LYIsHtmlSep, LYAddHtmlSep, LYTrimHtmlSep, LYIsPathSep,
LYAddPathSep, LYTrimPathSep to reduce clutter - TD
* fix a bug, present at least since 2.8.1dev.17, where lynx can't download files if
it is started from one of the root directories of a disk drive, since it is
trying to write to "c:\\file.ext", rather than "c:\file.ext" - DK
* correct a comment in userdefs.h; commercial Japanese sites are named with
co.jp, not com.jp (LV).
* correct some debug messages in LYCookie.c - BJP
* fix a missing </h1> in ShowInfo.c - SKY
* modified '+'->' ' conversion to allow Unix commands to have '+' beginning
options - TD
* sorted all option items (i.e., static variables, postoptions(),
gen_options()) according to the sections they are in - SKY
* added '+'->' ' conversion for forms-options values - SKY
* centered 'save to disk' and put a dash between 'accept' and 'reset' for
clarity - SKY
* add "-cookie_file=" commandline option to specify cookie file - BJP
* add "cookie_file=" option to .lynxrc - BJP
* add "cookie_file:" option to lynx.cfg - BJP
* change default cookie file to "Home_Dir()/cookies" (or sys$login:cookies
for VMS, which may or may not work, DOS also needs to be checked) - BJP
* add cookies switch to options menu - LP
* Security considerations and form-based options: items restricted in
gen_options() should be ALSO restricted under the same conditions in
postoptions() to prevent a limited access user to edit option's HTML code
manually and submit a restricted items. This may be not a good idea to have
two functions in sync but those functions are synchronized anyway. Please
read comments inside the functions if change something! - LP
* add new functions BeginInternalPage and EndInternalPage to reduce clutter in
code that sets up internal pages (email from LP).
* change version in makefile.in to 2-8-1 -DK
* the code in GridText that adds control characters to the current line
does not test for buffer overflow. Normally Lynx gets away with this because
it will wrap the current line as soon as the line exceeds the display width,
but if you have a file with nothing but control characters with no
displayable text in-between (a few thousand hidden links will do), then Lynx
bombs. Modified to silently ignore excess control characters as well as add
a few extra bytes when allocating the line buffer to allow for a bunch of
control characters followed by a kanji or utf-8 sequence. (patch by Dick
Wesseling <ftu@fi.uu.nl>)
* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTInit.c, which is not used, since
src/HTInit.c has this functionality - TD
* change ID="<number>" in Lynx_users_guide.html to ID="<name>" to appease
weblint; tested with IE&NS - TD
* Al's convention of '#<number>' into '#<id name>' in Lynx_users_guide.html is
included - SKY
1998-08-31 (2.8.1dev.24)
* re-correct DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (reported by LV) - TD
1998-08-29 (2.8.1dev.23)
* make interim fix for gzip'd html files until we can resolve portability
issues raised by SKY's renaming - TD
* implement LY_SOFT_NEWLINE, to mark places where wrapping is done in
HText_appendCharacter, to allow printing to join lines back together
(reported by LP) - TD
* correct missing assignment in change to HText_appendCharacter, fix a core
dump - TD
* removed SKY's change that attempted to skip help-links, since it causes a
core dump, e.g., when viewing source - TD
* use LYCloseTempFP in forms-options code and LYPrint.c where file was opened
with LYOpenTemp, to fix a core dump - TD
* All XYZ_TITLE defines of UIPs (User Interface Page) are collected in
LYMessages_en.h for multi language support - SKY
* Head and H1 of each UIP is standardized; reduced to 1 line. In this line a
context sensitive Help anchor introduced which is skipped by default; i.e.,
'd' will directly goto 'Save to Disk' not to the help anchor - SKY
* Download and Print UIPs are divided into 'Standard' and 'Local additions'.
Current and Suggested Filenames are printed on the page which was hidden on
the status line or accessed only by '=' - SKY
* Information page now has links to either development or lynx home pages
depending on LYNX_RELEASE define. Besides compile options can also be
accessed on this page: $helpdir/lynx_site.txt. A file derived from
'config.cache'. Its corresponding makefile macro is 'install-log' - SKY
* New Form-based options page is re-organized; logical sections are introduced
and sorted alphabetically (except for 'User Mode' - SKY
* All links in the help files are marked, i.e., each
'href="../_filename.html_#section"' is converted to
'href="../@FILENAME@#section"'. This is useful if a help filename or
link has to be changed through out whole package - SKY
* 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' is introduced which contains
FILENAME=_filename.html_ definitions. Format and details are given in the
file - SKY
* All help files are renamed from '.html' -> '.html_' - SKY
* For context sensitive help links in UIPs 'src/LYHelp.h' is created with all
the filenames marked like the help files. It will be included from
LYGlobal.h. In 'src/makefile.in' necessary changes are done to load the
filenames from 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' - SKY
* To be able to compress help files '--enable-gzip-help' option is added in
configure script. In 'makefile' 'install-help:' is updated.
If COMPRESS_PROG and COMPRESS_EXT are *both* left empty (default) no
compression will be carried. For the moment compression is restricted only
to 'gzip'. Necessary updates are done in configure.in - SKY
* documentation fixes for nsl-fork, print screen - PW
* don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese - HN
* use title information rather than suggested filename as a subject line when
printing a page to email - LP
* add verbose_images to old-style options menu, and the .lynxrc - LE
* add verbose_images and useragent to forms-based options menu - LP
* disable download of "mailto:" links (reported by SKY (Sinan Kaan Yerli)
<sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ) - LP
* Change HTUserMsg to HTInfoMsg for "ALREADY_AT_BEGIN" and "ALREADY_AT_END"
messages to make it less annoying - LP
* reduce clutter in mainloop by inserting LYpop() in postoptions() - LP
* makefile.dos: split long lines - LP
* Fix bug with TAIPEI big5 charset in src/LYCharUtils.c
(this typo also found in lynx2.7.2: "big-5" instead of "big5"),
patch by Shou-Chuan Lai <chuan@cs.nthu.edu.tw> - LP
* Add -debug_partial command line switch so we got MessageSecs dely
between incremental rendering stages if partial display mode is ON.
(MessageSecs available from lynx.cfg and set to 2 sec by default).
The problem in incremental rendering of forms input was reported by SKY
(Sinan Kaan Yerli) <sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ), still not fixed
but now we may enter form-based options menu in -debug_partial mode
and rerender the page with Cntrl-R to see what is happening in fact - LP
* Serious bug fixed for DISP_PARTIAL: two asynchronous processes synchronized.
HTDisplayPartial() synchronized by flag against HText_new() which create
the new HTMainText object. Otherwise HTDisplayPartial() sometimes was
matching old HTMainText (with its own line counter) and repaint previous doc,
not a new one. TRACE log now got a message from HText_pageDisplay - LP
* fixed last chartrans changes, lines such as
#0x99 #NOTDEFINED
should not be commented with leading comment symbol because they are ignored
by makeuctbl in fact - LP
* modify DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS to only modify the nonstandard case,
thereby making that more restrictive, and restoring standard behavior
(reported by HN) - TD
1998-08-21 (2.8.1dev.22)
* correct test for -std1 compiler option on Digital Unix (reported by Michael
Warner) - TD
* modify treatment of COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS, so that if it is set TRUE, two or more
concurrent BRs will be collapsed into a single blank line. Note that the
valid way to insert extra blank lines in HTML is via a PRE block with only
newlines in the block (David Henderson <davidh@psiphi.org>)
* clarification in userdefs.h - HN
* MS Windows codepages updated for EURO SIGN (0x20AC), from ftp.unicode.org -LP
* minor fix for DISP_PARTIAL, disable scrolling when HTTP request already sent
but the new document not displayed on the screen yet - LP
* ifdef DOS/WINDOWS to open lynx.trace in text mode - LP
* rearrange text in lynx.cfg concerning character_set - LP
* correct miscellaneous typos - LP
* Fixed: Verbose images now work with [IMAGE]-Submit. Also, fixed the core
dump when clickable_images is on. The problem was an oversight in
MakeNewTitle() - LE
* reviewed the INSTALLATION file as it relates to DOS and updated it for the
newly released version of PDCurses 2.3. Added the HAVE_GETBKGD define to
makefile.dos, fixes some of the unusual background color handling that was
present in the PDCurses DOS port - DK
* correct ifdef: LYOptions.c fails to build with -DEXP_FORMS_OPTIONS but
_without_ -DDIRED_SUPPORT (e.g., djgpp) - LP
* redesigned cookie_add_{accept,reject}list in LYCookie.c -- they work now -BJP
* added COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS in .lynxrc handling to LYrcFile.c - BJP
* slight spacing fix in lynx.cfg - BJP
* added blurb in lynx.cfg about COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP
* -accept_all_cookies on the commandline works as a toggle now (against
lynx.cfg value -- NOT against .lynxrc value) - BJP
* change HTAlert for bad partial reference to an HTUserMsg to make it less
annoying (request by Philip Webb, Jason F McBrayer)
1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21)
* correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD
* reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros,
PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD
* modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options,
by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and
calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP
* add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD
* add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD
* make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD
* exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP
* The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx
actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for
arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on
the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were
failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps
these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP
mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the
patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and
makefile.wsl - DK
* The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the
default - DK
* correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK
* modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document
source - TD
* add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD
* clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman).
* Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with
a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU
(NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey
Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset
frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g.
on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid.
Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported
starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg
added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP
* Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choices which are not available under
the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print
to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP
* Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize
option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label
"raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for
others. Cleanup postoptions() by introducing flags - LP
* Force HTuncache_current_document if gen_options() invoked. This is a
dirty fix until we uncache previous document only when necessary. - LP
* Add time/date in addition to X-URL and BASE (PrependBaseToSource), (request
by Hans-Joachim Gurt <gurt@nacamar.net>) - LP
* Turn partial_display off if we are not interactive (reported by Ari Moisio
<armoi@sci.fi>) - LP
* more fixes/refinements for auto-configuring socks5 on AIX (report by Brian
Hauber) - TD
1998-08-06 (2.8.1dev.20)
* rename eat_all_cookies to accept_all_cookies everywhere - BJP
* added ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES lines to the dist lynx.cfg with the appropriate
description - BJP
* added COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS to lynx.cfg. These are
comma delimited lists of the domains to handle - BJP
* added cookie_add_acceptlist and cookie_add_rejectlist to LYCookie.c, which
are passed the list of domains from lynx.cfg and add them to the global
cookie list. These may be subject to change, as I might not be handling the
LYstrsep() right -- it works with dev19's LYstrsep(), but hasn't been tested
with Bela's... - BJP
* added a big ugly ifdef'd out section to LYrcFile.c with what I have so far on
the .lynxrc handling of COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS. Don't use it. Makes
nasty segfaults - BJP (Brian J Pardy)
* fix a bug where the DJGPP_KEYHANDLER version doesn't allow movement by arrow
keys within a text area. Undo previous patch to LYGetFile.c, with LYgetch
now changed where it is defined in LYStrings.c, rather than at each place
where it is used. The patch in LYStrings.c regarding Windows should fix the
problem with keymapping that occurred when we got rid of RAWDOSKEYHACK - DK
* turn on DISP_PARTIAL in makefile.dos - DK
* correct typo in LYOptions.c - BL
* corrected logic of LYstrsep - BL
* Few minor typos and forgotten notes in man/hlp/cfg files; also quote Bela's
note on lynx.cfg INCLUDE facility - LP
* correct typos in makefile.wsl, makefile.dsl - LP
* correct typos, fix character set problems in recent changes of
LYOptions.c - LP
* move include for socks.h past tcp.h, to allow for redefinition of some
symbols on AIX (report by Brian Hauber) - TD
* adjust headers so that each can be compiled separately, eliminating order
dependencies - TD
* include tcp.h always from within HTUtils.h, to enforce ordering of headers
needed for socks5 definitions - TD
* use S_ISREG, S_ISDIR macros to reduce clutter - TD
* make test for OpenHiddenFile to overwrite user's file more stringent by
ensuring that the given pathname is not a link from a world-writable
directory (reported by BL, with suggested patch) - TD
* add/use LYPathLeaf() function to reduce clutter of pathname-leaf parsing - TD
* eliminate redundant definition of 'FREE() - TD
* ifdef'd LYOptions.c to reduce unneeded code wrt --enable-forms-options - TD
* check in OpenHiddenFile to ensure that we overwrite only regular files,
since we also force the file's permissions to 0600 - TD
1998-07-31 (2.8.1dev.19)
* modify OpenHiddenFile so that it can overwrite files owned by the real
user if the O_EXCL open fails because the file already exists - TD
* add experimental forms-based options screen (Mike Castle):
This is ifdef'd with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS and configured with
--enable-forms-options.
* add option -eat_all_cookies and corresponding config variable
EAT_ALL_COOKIES - BJP (Brian J Pardy <posterkid@psnw.com>)
* correct spurious 'Content' string versus newline after X-URL in LYMail.c
(Bela Lubkin, LV).
* updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3 - TD
* updated experimental persistent-cookie support based on RP's patch: Replaced
the call to strsep with a home-rolled one for those people who don't have it.
(Reported by Bela Lubkin, Mon, 27 Jul 1998 16:51:14 -0700 on the mailing
list.) Bela's modification to make some character arrays static is also
included -TD
* nits/spelling in LYPrint.c, LYUtils.c (reported by Mike Castle) -TD
* changed LYGetFile.c to build 2.8.1dev.18 with SLANG and the
DJGPP_KEYHANDLER for DOS - DK
* fix a couple of places where the return-value of calloc was not checked
(reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>) - TD
* correct typo in command-line parsing of -lss option (reported by Chris
Kottaridis <chrisk@BSDI.COM>) -TD
* define _AIX if needed for socks5 (request by Brian Hauber) - TD
* improved configure test for getgroups array type - TD
1998-07-24 (2.8.1dev.18)
* improved test for socks5, to account for special cases on AIX (reported by
Brian Hauber) - TD
* several changes to reduce the number of gcc cast-qual warnings, by adding
CONST, removing casts - TD
* add configure option --enable-syslog to enable system logging of requested
URL's - TD
* add RP's experimental persistent-cookie support, and configure option
--enable-persistent-cookies, ifdef'd with EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES - TD
* removed references to DOSRAWKEYHACK, which is no longer used. Modified the
dos makefile for libwww and makefile.dsl to default to using display_partial.
Modified INSTALLATION to reflect the successful use of slang with the dos
port and the now confusing alternatives when compiling the dos port, along
with some other updates - DK
* modify lynx_enable_mouse() for pdcurses configuration so that mouse support
is disabled unless -use_mouse is specified. This is ifdef'd with
__BORLANDC__ for the time being (WB).
* resync build-slang.com, against build.com - TD
* add $(MMSQUALIFIERS) to top-level descrip.mms, e.g., to use options such as
/FROM, /IGNORE, /NOACTION, etc., and $(INCLUDES) definitions to lower-level
descrip.mms files. Improve error-recovery in build.com (patches by Liam
Davis <ld@stian.demon.co.uk>)
* use memset to clear soc_in fields before doing a connect, needed for BSD/OS
(patch by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
* remove spurious sprintf params when using FIXED_RECORD_COMMAND_MASK which has
only one parameter, change VMSsignal from void* to void (report by Mike Xun
Ma <mike@mira.concordia.ca> ) - TD
* use open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL) to open new hidden files - TD
* eliminate_*putenv_cmd variables used by LYReadCFG.c as placeholders for
putenv calls - TD
* disable include of <sys/filio.h> for VMS, from report by Chris Doran) - TD
* fixes for VMS: mismatched curly brace, etc., from CTRACE and buffer-overflow
changes (reported by chris.doran@gblis.mail.abb.com) - TD
* correct a loop in HTML_start_element that strips 7 leading characters from
an href, fixes a core-dump in traversing ".." to "/" - TD
* use new macro SetOutputMode to reduce some clutter - TD
* modify interface of LYCachedTemp so fileCache member is reset to null, fixes
bug in my recent cleanup of temp-files, which caused a core-dump - TD
* add kb/sec rate to HTReadProgress message - TD
* modify computation in HTReadProgress to interpolate rate - LP
* One more fix for DISP_PARTIAL: to avoid blinking while reloading document
with Newline_partial > 1 (say, we press '*' and noproxy) we repaint the page
only when Newline_partial <= HText_getNumOfLines() - LP
* add "-verbose" command-line switch - LP
* DOS fix: open stdout in TEXT mode for -help and startup error message - LP
* correct use of $mapname variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (Tomas Vanhala)
1998-06-25 (2.8.1dev.17)
* add configure option --with-socks5 (request by Brian Hauber
<bhauber@frenzy.com>) - TD
* define symbols HAVE_CURSESX_H, HAVE_JCURSES_H (report by Georg Schwarz
<schwarz@physik.tu-berlin.de>) - TD
* modify logic that reports progress of download to update screen no more than
once per second, fix an overrun problem (reported by Jacob Poon
<a324poon@cdf.toronto.edu>) - TD
1998-06-11 (2.8.1dev.16)
* modify configure script to check for special compiler options which are
assumed for particular platforms (suggested by BL) - TD
* modify display_page in GridText.c so that TRACE does not cause a repaint,
since that causes colors to be incorrectly rendered when tracing - TD
* fix a few of the signed/unsigned mismatch warnings in GridText.c - TD
* correct pathname in LYOpenScratch call for bookmarks (reported by DK) - TD
* DISP_PARTIAL: fix initialization of newdoc.line (case LYK_DOWNLOAD,
mainloop) to correct display while 'd'ownloading files (it was initialized
_after_ the download completed and was good enough without display_partial
mode). - LP
* correct some ifdef's for DISP_PARTIAL - LP
1998-06-04 (2.8.1dev.14)
* minor formatting fixes and documentation for upload screen - LP
* remove config.cache at beginning of configure script - TD
* eliminate cast for GetChar in LYStrings.c (from bug report by Michael Warner,
analysis by BL) - TD
* shorten logs from WWW/* by disabling echo of compiler options as in src/* -TD
* add configure test for types pid_t and uid_t - TD
* add configure test for array type used in getgroups call, to distinguish
between BSD and POSIX variations which use different sizes - TD
* modify configure script to compile DISP_PARTIAL code by default - TD
* fix compiler warnings dealing with unreached statements - TD
* change 'keymap[] array to unsigned char, move logic that relies on its size
into LYKeymap.c - TD
* make LYOpenScratch() work properly for 8.3 names (reported by DK) - TD
* DISP_PARTIAL: introduce separate variables Newline_partial and
NumOfLines_partial, initialize them in mainloop and synchronize with Newline
later when the reload completes (case NORMAL). To reduce the CPU usage while
downloading, call HText_pageDisplay only if NumOfLines_partial is in the
current display page or any Scroll key pressed by the user. We disable
partial_display if requested URL have #fragment, otherwise user will see the
top page first (yes, s/he will be moved to #fragment when the download
completed, but only if no scroll keys were pressed before!). Processing of
"END" key changed from MAXINT to real number of lines in the document
(important for display_partial mode) - LP
* correct problem that caused DGJPP version built with slang 1.2.2 to lose its
socket whenever the rendering of a http URL is interrupted with "z". This is
in HTCheckForInterrupt in LYUtils.c (reported by John Lewis) - DK
* add files pdcurses.key, slang.key, djgpp.key to document the keybindings
used for DJGPP version - DK
* allow mapping of ALT and Function keys with the DOS port for both the
PDCurses version and the SLANG version with the DJGPP keyhandler. The
extended keys to be mapped have to be specified numerically according to the
definitions in curses.h (for PDCurses) or in keys.h (for SLANG with DJGPP
keyhandler). DJGPP maps keys up to 0x293, while PDCurses maps keys up to
0x1c0 - DK
* don't try to use -std1 option for gcc on Digital Unix (reported by Michael
Warner <warner@wsu.edu>) - TD
1998-05-23 (2.8.1dev.13)
* use new function LYLocalFileToUrl to cleanup some pathname references - TD
* eliminate 'tempname()' function, using LYNewTxtFile, etc., with new functions
LYOpenTemp, LYCloseTemp, etc., so that temporary files are opened with
appropriate permissions - TD
* correct use of cache variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (reported by BL) - TD
* spell out the logic in HTPlain.c against 2.7.2: there was a certain problem
with chartrans in text/plain mode (LYRawMode was wrongly interfering,
problem reported by Jacob Poon & FM). - LP
* modify logic for zero-width spaces in conv_uni_to_pc to exclude 0x200a - LP
* supply missing "break", which was forcing raw utf-8 output in URLs (NOT hex
escaped) - LP
1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.12)
* remove unneeded definition used in testing dev.11 from config.hin) - TD
1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.11)
* fixes for function-keys with slang configuration on DOS (patch by DK).
* correct missing '&' in command-line options entry for syslog (reported by
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 keymaps/keysym patch (it really should be integrated with the normal
lynx.cfg file (John E Davis).
* tweak chartrans, "Convert the octet to Unicode": incoming symbols >127 but <
LYlowest_eightbit[IN-charset] now ignored, previously displayed as UFFFD.
(SGML.c, HTPlain.c, LYCharUtils.c) - LP
* removed conflicting/unused declaration of 'bzero()' from tcp.h (from report
by Ashraf Zorkani <zorkani@aucegypt.edu>) - TD
* modify the set/unset/toggle options to allow "on" and "off" values also - TD
* apply the "partial display" patch, modified from
http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0398/msg00993.html
The behavior is controlled by a compile-time option (DISP_PARTIAL), by a
command-line argument (-partial), and by a lynx.cfg option (PARTIAL). - BL
* extend command-line option processing of set/unset/toggle options
-toggle- (set that toggle to FALSE)
-toggle+ (set that toggle to TRUE)
e.g.,
lynx -show_cursor+ -case-
or with explicit 1/0 values, e.g.,
-toggle=0 (set that toggle to FALSE)
-toggle=1 (set that toggle to TRUE)
NOTE: this allows you to change a few flags that would previously have been
controlled by lynx.cfg, and are security-related, such as -locexec or
-telnet. I believe there is no issue, because if the user can control the
command line to Lynx, he could have run `lynx -cfg my_cfg_file` and
circumvented those settings anyway. - BL
* fix for buffer-overrun in LYMail.c when processing a mailto:very-long-address
URL - BL
* correct, for OS/2 EMX, a place in LYConvertToURL() which must not use
HTDOS_wwwName() (patch by Jason F McBrayer <jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>)
* similar changes to LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.wsl,
for building DOS version with slang - Bill Schiavo
* modify LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.dsl, for building
DOS version with slang - DK
* fix to improve reloading if user changed assume_charset in options menu
using ^A, which sometimes did not work - LP
* add several chartrans-related files to test/ directory: spaces.html,
c1.html, raw8bit.html - LP
* fixes to compile on SunOS with K&R compiler - TD
1998-05-03 (2.8.1dev.9)
* correct missing counter increment in tempname(), from cleanup - TD
1998-05-02 (2.8.1dev.8)
* Fix for CGI-related URLs processing (syntax: ?x=1&yz=2). To avoid interfere
with SGML we restrict '=' as terminator for a named entity, this only applied
for HREF= attribute translation (LYCharUtils.c). (reported by Alex Matulich
alex@unicorn.us.com & FM). - LP
* restore information in the INSTALLATION file for the DOS port on patching
tcplib. Also, clarifies the location of nullpkt. It also clarifies
that the PDCurses beta has incorporated some of the patches we made for
the lynx DOS port - DK
* modify logic that updates bookmark file after removing a link to use copy
rather than rename, to solve file-ownership problems (patch by Paul
Gilmartin, though I kept the permissions check) - TD
* reduce a little of the clutter in tempname() with fmt_tempname, and
bad_tempname functions. Though this doesn't address the security problems it
does fix the problem with signed getpid values. - TD
* simplify LYUtils.c with compare_type() function - TD
* add/use string functions LYLowerCase, LYUpperCase, LYRemoveBlanks (replaces
collapse_spaces), LYTrimLeading, LYTrimTrailing (incidentally fixes core-dump
in LYCookie.c) - TD
* rewrite read_cfg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a
patch by John E Davis) - TD
* rewrite parse_arg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a
patch by John E Davis) - TD
* omit -Olimit compiler option on Digital UNIX 4.0 (patch by Tomas Vanhala).
* modify configure test for acs_map[] array to work on Digital UNIX 4.0
(reported by Jim Spath and Tomas Vanhala <vanhala@ling.helsinki.fi>). - TD
1998-04-23 (2.8.1dev.7)
* fix core-dump when pressing '.' on a page with no links (patch by
Jan Hlavacek <lahvak@math.ohio-state.edu>).
* initial changes to use macros CTRACE and tfp to replace explicit use of
stderr for the trace log. Remaining work is required for some complex
expressions, switching file pointers and for perror-substitute - TD
* ifdef's for OS/2 EMX, mostly pathname tweaks (patch by Jason F McBrayer
<jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>).
1998-04-18 (2.8.1dev.6)
* correct misplaced ifdef in LYMail.c, which caused Cc to not work (patch
by LE).
* convert \x escapes to octal form (reported by Claude Soma) - TD
* modify configure script to check for cursesX before curses library, for
ultrix 4.3 (reported by Claude Soma <soma_c@decus.fr>) - TD
* incorporate lpansi into LYPrint.c (patch by HN).
* modify top-level makefile to use INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA
consistently, rather than installbin and installdoc (reported by
<karl@deas.harvard.edu>). - TD
* modify treatment of -auth and -pauth options to allow setting a blank
password, e.g., -pauth=user: specifies a blank password, and -pauth=user
leaves the password unspecified (patch by Frederick P Herrmann
<fph@tiac.net>).
* Change documentation to indicate "Lynx.trace" file rather than
"lynx.trace" -TD
* Change default for USE_TRACE_LOG in userdefs.h to TRUE, to make behavior
consistent with 2.7.2 - TD
* Rename no_color_video symbol in LYCurses.c to NoColorVideo, to avoid conflict
with term.h, which is included by curses.h on some systems (reported by Paul
Gilmartin) - TD
* modify include-path in djgpp makefile to avoid conflicting tcp.h - DK
* Add -tagsoup option, for initializing parser directly to TagSoup - TD
* Modify HTML.c, ifdef'ing some of the logic involved in unstacking tags. It
appears to be not completely necessary: makes Lynx a little faster, at the
cost of making the tagsoup parser do the wrong thing. Some entries in the
tagsoup DTD table versus the sortasgml table have SGML_EMPTY versus
SGML_MIXED. This information is used to control unstacking (in the
color-style configuration as well). There is still a problem evidenced
when toggling between the two parsers in the Lynx main help page, but that
appears to be missing logic in 2.8's version of the tagsoup parser. - TD
* Modify HTTCP.c to check the length returned from gethostbyname(), which
returns 0 on error on a SunOS 4 system (reported by Paul Gilmartin) - TD
1998-03-29 (2.8.1dev.5)
* Fixed my typo for FNAMES_8_3 define - WB
* Added SYSTEM_MAIL and SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS defines for DOSPATH target - WB
* Better kluge to set terminal type for DOSPATH - WB
* Restored DOSPATH kludge to get to root of directory - WB
* Added a bit of missing _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef'ing - WB
* Minor DOS dirent mod to work with Tom's rearrangements - WB
* Changed #if XYZ to #ifdef XYZ in tcp.h for dumb (?) compilers - WB
1998-03-25 (2.8.1dev.4)
* restore original string in LYUtils.c when user enters a badly formed or
nonexistent URL when prompted for Goto/history list. Otherwise Lynx would
always attempt to load a local file if the original string omits scheme://
prefix but guessing fails (patch by Randall <hezekiah@may98.rahul.net>).
* tweak formatting of .message in HTFTP.c so it has leading/trailing blank
lines (patch by Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@CAM.ORG>)
* retested 'make depend' rule (for LV (Larry Virden)) - TD
* eliminate (except for absolute pathnames, as in VMS) quoted includes - TD
* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAlert.[ch], since they conflict with
src/HTAlert.[ch], and are not used - TD
* replace the [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] comments (for images without ALT)
with filenames of these images. This feature can be enabled or disabled by
setting VERBOSE_IMAGES in lynx.cfg and/or userdefs.h (patches by
Helen Sommer <helen@voland.cc.huji.ac.il>,
Bill Schiavo <wschiavo@concentric.net>)
* consistently use ${cf_cv_ncurses_header-curses.h} rather than
$cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure script, as noted by JES - TD
* tweak include of HTML.h in HTFile.h to fix compile problem on VMS (we really
should not use quote-style includes) - TD
* fixes to LYStyle.c to make color-style code work on Digital Unix 4.0 - TD
1998-03-20 (2.8.1dev.3)
* Added death for Win/DOS clients that don't have a TMP space defined - WB
* Added _WINDOWS_NSL to provide interruptible lookups in Win32 per a
patch from afn06760@afn.org. (modified hopefully for borland AND Cygwin and
hard defined in tcp.h). I had to recompile everything in multithread
mode for borland, including my zlib library - WB
* Added _WINDOWS as a target for FNAMES_8_3 in userdefs.h to allow for 16
bit helper apps that can't handle LFN's. (report by afn06760@afn.org) - WB
1998-03-18 (2.8.1dev.1)
* correct an ifdef that caused inconsistent pathname separators on Windows
(reported by afn) -DK
* correct a missing AC_MSG_RESULT in configure.in (also MM) - TD
* guard against illegal (e.g., zero) value for DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE, when it is
read from lynx.cfg (reported by Martin Mokrejs
<mmokrejs@prfdec.natur.cuni.cz>) - TD
* implement simple 'include' facility for lynx.cfg - BL
* change TagClass and TagFlags to #define's to accommodate older compilers
which do not accept initialization of enums from data that do not correspond
to the declared values, e.g., CLIX (which complains) and Apollo (which fails
to compile, reported by Dave Eaton). - TD
* remove some obsolete definitions from userdefs.h, tcp.h and HTUtils.h - TD
* remove obsolete files from WWW/Library - TD
1998-03-12
* UPPER8: a separate function HTMLSetDisplayCharsetMatchLocale() introduced
(LYCharSets.c). Locale mismatch assumed for DOS/WINDOWS display charsets. -LP
