 Changes since Lynx 2.8 release
 ===============================================================================
 
+1999-05-05 (2.8.2dev.26 - 2.8.2pre.1)
+* remove some weird cruft from HTAAUtil.h (yeah, "/home2/luotonen" is a good
+  default path) (John Bley)
+* correct a buffer overflow in LYDownload.c (reported by John Bley) -TD
+* 8bit attribute values are now translated in psrc view (reported by LP) -VH
+* trailing ';' now is shown after HTML entities (reported by LP) -VH
+* split-up/correct typo in text at top of generated bookmark file -JS, -TD
+* allow anchors as input for commands 'g','G','E' -VH
+* correct off-by-one error in pointer to filename in DOSPATH configuration for
+  LYPathLeaf() -DK
+* fix infinite recursion bug in lynx.cfg includes, from dev.25 integraton
+  (reported by LP) -VH
+* implement the following separators in lynx.cfg "include" commands:
+  ":" on Unix
+  " for " on all OS's -VH
+* fixes for LYList.c,  adding title info to the (mostly unused) HTLinkType -KW
+* change remaining <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)
+* fix a few html nits in the docs (John Bley)
+* cleanup some gcc -Wundef warnings -TD
+* add logic to free_lynx_cfg() to unset environment variables (requested by
+  LP) -TD
+* modify SafeHTUnEscape() to work with EBCDIC (pg@sweng.stortek.com)
+* remove dangling comma in UrlTypes enum (reported by pg@sweng.stortek.com) -TD
+* make description of STARTFILE in userdefs.h agree with lynx.cfg -TD
+* fix:  newline position when we come from the history stack and cached HText
+  is used (say, return from 'p'rint menu), was broken in dev23 -LP
+* remove numerous HTMLSetCharacterHandling() calls from getfile(), use single
+  call in mainloop instead -LP
+* #define PUTS() in LYCookie.c and LYMap.c to make code more readable -LP
+* fix:  LYmouse_menu() in LYStrings.c calls popup_choice(), which is #ifdef'd
+  out when --disable-menu-options is used (patch by Sergey Svishchev)
+* modify generated src/makefile to omit include from intl directory if it is
+  not used.  This in turn required fixing a redefinition of gettext on Solaris
+  when using cc, since the locale.h file includes Sun's libintl.h file which
+  prototypes gettext.  Successfully built/ran using Sun's msgfmt utility, (had
+  to manually add -lintl to src/makefile) though the generated message objects
+  are incompatible, resulting in a core dump if not reinstalled (unnecessary
+  include reported by LP) -TD
+* change VMS WWW descrip.mms file to use prefix=all rather than prefix=ansi, so
+  that POSIX functions such as 'read()' are linked properly (reported by Andy
+  Harper) this is a detail I overlooked in dev.18 -TD
+* fixes to compile with SunOS K&R cc -TD
 1999-04-27 (2.8.2dev.25)
+* 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 accomodate 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 lost its forms content
+  - fix options menu staff to use HTreparse_document() when possible - LP
