 Changes since Lynx 2.8 release
 ===============================================================================
 
+1999-11-17 (2.8.3dev.15)
+* add popup in options menu to control alternate organizations of the
+  visited links page (Ilya Zakharevich)
+* 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
+* reorganize the code:  'search_target' now became global, so display_page()
+  and highlight() could be called from any place easily.  This was a mainloop
+  local variable (name changed from 'prev_target' to avoid conflict elsewhere),
+  the value currently changed in mainloop(), handle_LYK_WHEREIS() and
+  textsearch() -LP
+* 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 (<vtailor@gte.net>)
+* 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)

   combination that uses underlining (reported by KW) -TD
