+01-29-97
+* Added more REL tokens that are acceptible for banner links. - FM
+* Ifdef'ed the standard foo_PATH definitions for FreeBSD at the bottom of
+  userdefs.h, based on a patch from AAC, and assuming they also apply for
+  NetBSD, BSDI, and Linux (we'll see 8-). - FM
+* Added make freebsd-slang target. - AAC
+01-28-97
+* Mods of LYSetCookie() to ensure setting of 443 as the default port for
+  https URLs, and force the secure flag on for https URLs whether or not
+  the Set-Cookie header had a secure parameter (too many Version 0
+  cookies don't, when they should). - FM
+* Removed -ltermcap from make for all ncurses targets. - FM
+* Tweaks of make for FreeBSD. - AAC
+* Use SLtt_get_screen_size() instead of the apparently less portable
+  code for slang in size_change() of LYUtils.c. - JED
+01-27-97
+* Made ALT a synonym for VALUE in INPUTs with TYPE="image" to cooperate
+  with well-intentioned (though misinformed) providers who use ALT instead
+  of VALUE for the benefit of text clients or GUIs with image handling
+  turned off. - FM
+* Modified the code for submission of form content with TYPE="image" NAME-ed
+  INPUTs that have a VALUE (or ALT) to "fake" a 0,0 coordinate pair, as when
+  a VALUE (or ALT) is absent, instead of sending a single name=value pair.
+  Requests that using a name=value pair in such cases to indicate that the
+  submission was from a text client or GUI with image handling turned off
+  be included in the HTML specifications keep falling on deaf ears, so we
+  may as well "fake" something closer to what the CGI scripts are expecting,
+  and hope that the script interprets 0,0 as an indicator that the user did
+  not see the image and make a conscious choice within it.
+* Added code to offer a link for the SRC of the image in INPUTs with
+  TYPE="image", distinct from the submit button, when clickable images
+  is on. - FM
+* Updated the "HTML Forms" section of the Users Guide. - FM
+* Fixed a typo in the parsing of Cache-Control MIME headers and META
+  directives. - FM
+01-25-97
+* Updated lynx_help_main.html, about_lynx.html and about_lynx-dev.html. - FM
+* Mods to indicate a toolbar by a '#' preceding its first link when the
+  toolbar is being displayed, and to indicate the availability of a toolbar
+  by a '#' in the top, left-hand corner of the screen when the toolbar is
+  not being displayed.  Added explanation of this in the online 'h'elp. - FM
+* Indicate the 'allow' setting (always, never, or via prompt) for each
+  domain in the Cookie Jar Page. - AK
+* Don't delete cookie-less domains silently during garbage collections if
+  they have their 'allow' set to always or never. - AK & FM
+* Added ability to change the 'allow' settings for domains via the Cookie
+  Jar Page. - FM
+* Added basic protection against "denial of service attacks" by limiting
+  a domain to 50 cookies, the total number of stored cookies to 500, and
+  the maximum processed size of a cookie to 4096 bytes. - FM
+* SGML escape any ampersands or angle brackets in the cookie names, values,
+  parameters, and comments when creating the HTML stream for the Cookie
+  Jar Page, and only include entries for comments if they were present in
+  the servers' Set-Cookie headers. - FM 
+* Updated the online 'h'elp for cookies. - FM
+* Removed -DNO_KEYPAD from all ncurses targets in the Makefile. - FM
+01-23-97
+* Added a "Lynx State Management (Me want cookie!)" section to the Lynx
+  Users Guide, and a cross-linked cookie_help.html file for the Cookie
+  Jar Page. - FM
+* Added prompting for whether to show the body of a 401 status reply or
+  simply return to the current document when an activated link requires
+  authentication via a username and password, and the user has none for
+  that realm, or forgot them. - FM
+01-22-97
+* Added handling of expires attribute values in Version 0 (a.k.a. Netscape)
+  Set-Cookie MIME headers or META tags, and added "Maximum Gobble Date"
+  entries in the Cookie Jar Page which indicate the maximum intended age
+  for each cookie based on the Version 0 expires or Version 1 max-age
+  attribute values. - FM 
+* Added an LYmktime() function in LYUtils.c which accepts strings in the
+  format "Day, dd-Mon-yy hh:mm:ss GMT" or "Day, dd Mon yyyy hh:mm:ss GMT",
+  parses and converts them to time_t format (seconds since 00:00:00 Jan 1
+  1970), and returns the time_t value, or zero if the date is in the
+  past.  It is used for handling Expires headers or attribute values. - FM
+* Added parsing of Cache-Control and Expires MIME headers and META tags
+  sufficient to determine whether the no_cache element should be set in
+  the document's structures. - FM
+* Eliminated the "; $Path=foo; $Domain=blah" attr=value pairs when sending
+  Version 0 (a.k.a. Netscape) cookies in request headers, because too may
+  CGI scripts in the real world have brain-dead parsers and fail when they
+  are included. - FM
+* Added handling of Set-Cookie directives in META tags. - AK
+01-20-97
+* Added confirmation prompts for deletions from the Cookie Jar, expanded
+  the garbage collecting for expired cookies, debugged and implemented the
+  code for security checks based on lead and embedded dots in domain values
+  and host prefixes as described in Section 4.3.2 of the -05 State Management
+  draft, added requirement for https URLs (direct, or via proxy) to include
+  cookies which have the secure flag set in request headers, and extensively
+  annotated the cookie support code for ease of further development. - FM
+* Added ability to set SHOW_CURSOR in lynx.cfg, to override the compilation
+  setting in userdefs.h, and made the -show_cursor command line switch a
+  toggle for the compilation or configuration default. - FM
+01-18-97
+* Bug fixes and memory leak plugs for the cookie support.  Added ability
+  to delete individual cookies or entire domains via the Cookie Jar Page
+  (Ctrl-K).  The domains and cookies are displayed as DL/DT/DD blocks,
+  with links for each domain and cookies name.  The deletions are done
+  by activating those links, which can be numbered, so it should be OK
+  for blind users. - FM
+* Tweaks of the news/nntp/snews gateway. - FM
+* Tweaks of paragraphing if ADDRESS, BANNER, BLOCKQUOTE, BQ, FN, MARQUEE
+  or NOTE blocks are nested (note that nesting does not yield progressive
+  indentations of these blocks). - FM
+01-16-97
+* Added "first pass" cookie support based on patches from Andrew Kuchling
+  (amk@magnet.com).  Still needs work (see comments at top of LYCookie.c).
+  A SET_COOKIE symbol in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg determines whether cookie
+  support will be on or off by default, and the default can be toggled
+  via a -cookies command line switch.  When on, Set-Cookie headers invoke
+  confirmations with possible replies of 'Y'es or 'N'o for that cookie,
+  'A'lways, to accept all cookies from that domain, or ne'V'er to never
+  accept cookies from that domain.  The Cookie Jar can be examined via
+  the COOKIE_JAR keystroke command, mapped by default to Ctrl-K.  The
+  Cookie Jar, and any 'A'lways or ne'V'er settings, do not presently
+  outlast the Lynx session. - FM
+01-14-97
+* Added use of DEFAULT_INDEX_FILE or the URL from an -index=URL command
+  line switch as the the HREF for a banner LINK with REL="Index" and no
+  HREF of its own (see the 01-01-97 mods and the HTML Banners section of
+  the Lynx Users Guide). - FM
+01-13-97
+* Tweaks of the news gateway. - FM
+* Added "Negotiate: trans" header for GET and HEAD requests.  Shouldn't
+  be necessary to get 300 instead of 406 replies when nothing matches
+  the Accept and Accept-foo request headers, but some HTTP/1.1 servers
+  apparently want it when the UA declares itself as HTTP/1.0, as Lynx
+  still does. - FM
+01-12-97
+* More updates of the online 'h'elp files. - FM
+* Simplified the code for checking whether a startfile is a bookmark file
+  entered as a URL instead of invoked via the -book switch.  The previous
+  code was tripping up some versions of the osf and linux compilers. - FM
+01-10-97
+* Replaced the realloc() in split_line() of GridText.c with a calloc(),
+  memcpy(), FREE() sequence for all systems, not just AIX and ultrix,
+  based on analysis of memory wastage by Hans Reiser
+  (dl9rdz@cip.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de). - FM
+* Tweaks of the body= handling in mailto URLs. - FM
+* Tweaks of the ftp gateway. - FM
+* Restored inheritence when resolving versus a base with the same scheme,
+  because the RFC1808 and Fielding Draft behavior of not doing so yields
+  too many failures in the real world (sigh...). - FM
+01-09-97
+* Ugh!  The distribution zip still had the Nov 4, 1996 HTTCP.c instead of
+  the one I modified on Christmas.  No wonder people were still reporting
+  the wrong messaging with -DNSL_FORK.  The right HTTCP.c is in there
+  now. - FM
+* Mods to resolve the HREFs for LINKs with REV="made" or REV="owner"
+  versus the base (a many, many year old bug finally caught 8-). - FM 
+* Added HTAlert messages about BASE HREF vaules, Location header values,
+  and Refresh URL values that were not received as absolute URLs.  We
+  still resolve them versus the RequestURI, since that's invariably
+  what is intended, and thus the optimum "error recovery" strategy. - FM
+* Added handling of cc= and body= fields in ?searchpart strings of mailto
+  URLs.  They are described in draft-hoffman-mailto-url-00.txt recently
+  posted to the URI-WG list.  This draft ignores the objections which have
+  been filed about changing the semantics of mailto and breaking clients
+  which are fully conformant with the mailto specs in RFC1738, instead of
+  using a new scheme name (e.g., smtp:) for URLs with mail headers, and it
+  extends the ill-advised use of '&' as puctuation in URLs instead of
+  honoring the previous IETF effort to seek it's replacement by ';' as the
+  URL name=value separator and, in effect, treating them as parameters
+  without need to worry about confusions with entities when the URLs are
+  attribute values in text/html.  However, the chairman of the URI-WG is
+  a co-author of this draft, so, sigh...  As far as this Lynx code is
+  concerned, the mods are more "error recovery" to cope with the sad things
+  which have afflicted the Web during the past 2-3 years, and use of a
+  ?searchpart in mailto URLs is still DISadvised.  Lynx uses only subject=,
+  cc=, and body= fields from a ?searchpart, using it's own "safe" rules for
+  other mail headers, and ignoring ones other than those three in the
+  ?searchpart as "unsafe".  The cc= values in a ?searchpart are added to
+  the primary address as a comma-separated list for the mail agent, and
+  Lynx's own Cc: is that entered, optionally, by the user.  Any body= field
+  is passed to the external editor, if one has been defined, for review and
+  possible modification.  Otherwise, it is scrolled for review.  The mailing
+  can be cancelled at any time (via Ctrl-G), and via a statusline prompt
+  after everything has been reviewed, if the user judges the body and/or
+  addresses to be unsafe or inappropriate. - FM
+* Moved information and prompt strings in LYMail.c to installer-modifiable
+  symbols in LYMessages_en.h. - FM
+01-07-97
+* Eliminated forced exits for keyboard input buffer overruns on VMS.
+  There's no perfect way to deal with it, but Lynx should recover
+  gracefully most of the time now, and do nothing bad if ungraceful. - FM
+* Added handling of Content-Base and Content-Location MIME headers when
+  'd'ownloading, 'p'rinting, or mailing HTML source.  For this, as
+  for rendered HTML streams (see 01-06-97 mods) the base is determined
+  according to HTTP/1.1 rules:  If a Content-Base header was received,
+  that's the base.  Otherwise, if a Content-Location header was received
+  and it's an absolute URL, that's the base.  Otherwise, the URL used
+  to retrieve the document is the base.  When actually rendering, any
+  BASE tag in the document overrides the base derived from headers.
+  When 'd'ownloading, or outputting HTML source for a 'p'rint option,
+  an X-URL comment with the URL used to retrieve the document and a
+  BASE tag with the header or URL-derived base are inserted at the top
+  of the document.  These should be moved down into the actual HEAD
+  section to make the HTML fully legal, but will work as is if the
+  output is used in conjunction with automatic invocation of Lynx or
+  Netscape as a text/html helper application.  When mailing with an
+  SMTP-conformant mailer, the actual URL used to retrieve the document
+  is indicated via an X-URL header, and for HTML source, a Content-Base
+  and a Content-Location header are included, set to what was actually
+  received by Lynx via MIME headers, or to the retrieval URL. - FM
+01-06-97
+* More updates of the online 'h'elp.  The Visited Links Page ('V'),
+  multi-bookmark file support, REL/REV and META enhancements, and new
+  switches are now all fully documented in the 'h'elp. - FM
+* Added handling of Content-Base and Content-Location MIME headers for
+  rendered HTML streams (still using the document's URL in the 'd'ownload
+  and 'p'rint (and mailing) BASE prepending kludge). - FM
+* Added code to avoid getting tripped up by double-quoted header values
+  in HTMIME.c.  We still need more sophisticated parsing of possibly
+  compound HTTP/1.1 headers, but we don't yet use any of those. - FM
+* Tweak of the efficiency mods for command line parsing in LYMain.c. - FM
+* Simplified some code in LYMainLoop.c that was tripping up the AIX32
+  compiler. - FM
+01-04-97
+* More updates of the online 'h'elp. - FM
+* Added DIRED_MENU support for .tgz files as for .tar.gz files. - FM
+01-03-97
+* Made the command line parsing in LYMain.c more efficient. - FM
+* Added -nopause switch for setting InfoSecs, MessageSecs, and AlertSecs
+  to zero.  Can be used to eliminate forced statusline pauses during
+  traversals. - FM
+* Mods to allow absolute zero quality values for Accept headers, so that
+  in mailcap files users can do things like map image/* to a helper app
+  but exclude particular image subtypes which the app can't handle by
+  assigning q=0 for that subtype.  HTTP/1.1 still specifies 4 significant
+  figures for quality values, so if the value is non-zero, Lynx still
+  forces a minimum of q=0.001. - FM
+* Typo fixes in lynx.cfg. - LWV
+01-02-97
+* Updates of the online 'h'elp files. - FM
+* Made the parsing of lynx.cfg in LYReadCFG.c more efficient. - FM
+01-01-97 -- Happy New Year!
+* More partial/relative HREF resolving enhancements.  Everything is now
+  handled as recommended in Larry Masinter's -03 revision of Roy Fielding's
+  -02 URL ID, except file and ftp URLs (which Lynx handles as described
+  in the online 'h'elp ).  Note, though, that Lynx handles known schemes
+  on a scheme-by-scheme basis, and for schemes that involve substitutions
+  of "/" for a NULL/zero-length path, Lynx inserts the "/" at the resolving
+  stage, so those slashes are present where the Fielding test suite doesn't
+  indicate them, but the actual requests sent to servers (or bad URL message
+  if it's a scheme that requires a host field and doesn't have a default)
+  will be the same.  Note, also, that Lynx sends only the  path<?searchpart>
+  ("absolute path") in it's direct http requests and indicates the host of
+  the URL in the Host:  header, i.e., sends the absolute URL only to proxies.
+  Note, as well, that Lynx treats a zero-length attribute value for an HREF,
+  SRC, etc. as a reference to the currently displayed document, but still
+  uses the base (which might not be the current document's address) as the
+  default for FORMs without an ACTION specified, or ISINDEX tags without
+  an HREF or ACTION specified. - FM
+* Expanded REL/REV handling.  All of the REL values in the (expired) Maloney
+  and Quin draft-ietf-relrev-00.txt ID which make sense for banner links in
+  Lynx have been added.  For REL="Help" without an HREF in the LINK, Lynx
+  uses its helpfile URL.  For REL="Home" without an HREF in the LINK, it
+  uses the configuration startfile or WWW_HOME URL (i.e., not a startfile
+  specified on the command line), or the command line homepage, if it was
+  specified. - FM
+* Added handling of fragments in conjunction with URL expansion guessing for
+  startfile, homepage and 'g'oto strings.  Note that any '#' that is not a
+  fragment delimiter should be hex escaped (%23), and ideally all reserved
+  or unsafe characters will be hex escaped in the user-entered string, though
+  you can get away with not using the hex codes for most others, depending on
+  their positions in the string.  Also note that on VMS if you include the
+  version for local files it must precede the fragment (e.g., foo.html;3#frag)
+  as for parameters. - FM
+12-26-96
+* Mods of HREF resolving to be more consistent with the latest IETF draft
+  (http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/draft-fielding-url-syntax-02.txt).
+  Most importantly, lone fragments (HREF="#fragment") are resolved versus
+  the current document's URL, and no longer versus the BASE, if present.
+  There are a few things in the draft which are at odds with what virtually
+  all currently deployed browsers do, and so I stuck with the "deployed"
+  behavior.  Try the tests in  http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/  to
+  see where Lynx still differs from the draft. - FM
+* Tweaks of 'z'ap handling. - FM
+12-24-96
+* Tweaks of DIRED_SUPPORT and make for osf. - FM
+12-23-96
+* Added code to check if the startfile has BOOKMARK_TITLE as its title,
+  and if so, and it's in the bookmark file list, add the bookmark element
+  and reload to have it treated as if it were invoked with -book. - FM
+12-21-96
+* Added code for the DIRED_MENU command ('f' and 'F' by default) to invoke
+  CSwing on VMS if CSWING_PATH is defined, as explained in userdefs.h and
+  lynx.cfg . - FM
+12-20-96
+* More improvements in the fatal error and memory exhaustion handling, and
+  plugging of memory leaks. - FM
+* Changed "newline" to "Newline" in LYMainLoop.c to deal with another
+  reported, ill-advised, macro in the AIX 4.2 curses.h. - FM
+* More tweaks of lynx.cfg. - FM
+12-19-96
+* Improvements in the messaging and cleanups for aborts on fatal errors
+  and exits on memory exhaustion. - FM
+* Worked v2.1 of lpansi.c into the distribution. - FM
+* Modified lynx.cfg to reflect the compilation defaults consistently, and
+  changed the compilation default for SUBSTITUTE_UNDERSCORES to FALSE. - FM
+* Changed the "lines" element to "Lines" in the HText structure and the
+  "tab" structure name to "Tab" to cope with some unwise employee reportedly
+  using all lower case "lines" and "tab" strings as macros in the AIX 4.2
+  curses.h. - FM
+12-17-96
+* Restored use of the -l format in the parent links of local Unix directory
+  listings if LONG_LIST is defined, without the v2.6 bug of creating strange,
+  trailing relative or escaped strings.  As far as I can tell from exercizing
+  them, the DIRED_SUPPORT and LONG_LIST handling are now fully debugged
+  (famous last words...  8-). - FM
+12-16-96
+* Don't reiterate parent links in local directory listings.  They are
+  offered only in the top, up to parent link if NO_PARENT_DIR_REFERENCE
+  is not defined. - FM
+* Moved more HTML.c functions to LYCharUtils.c. - FM
+* Tweak of META handling, which was causing crashes (due to freeing an
+  anchor structure prematurely in the 12-13-96 mods for moving HTML.c
+  code to LYCharUtils.c). - FM
+* Block Unix relative path strings in lynxexec and lynxprog URLs. - DT
+12-14-96
+* Added a COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS compilation and configuration symbol for
+  determinining whether Lynx collapses serial BR tags.  Note that the
+  valid way to create extra blank lines in HTML is with PRE blocks that
+  contain only newlines. - FM
+* Fixed a longstanding glitch in the alignment handling which could
+  cause a Paragraph's ALIGN value to cross embebbed blocks, rather than
+  restoring the appropriate alignment for the outer division or block
+  on close of the embedded block. - FM 
+* Modified HR handling so that it inserts the same before and after
+  spacing regardless of whether P end and/or start tags are present
+  before and/or after the HR. - FM
+* Don't insert the bookmark file description and filepath if multiple
+  bookmark file support has been turned off, and this is the default
+  bookmark file (but they will still be inserted if it's not the default,
+  e.g., if it's another bookmark file viewed before the support was
+  turned off, and retrieved as a previous document). - FM
+12-13-96
+* Added parsing of Content-Disposition in META tags and setting the
+  suggested file name if  file; filename=name.suffix  is in the value
+  of the Content attribute and we don't already have that via a server
+  header. - FM
+* Incorporated almost all globals related to stream parsing and page
+  display in HTML.c and GridText.c into the HTML object structure and
+  HText structure to make the parsing and display functions more nearly
+  re-entrant, and moved several functions from HTML.c to LYCharUtils.c
+  to reduce the size of HTML.c. - FM
+* Added -cckr to the libwww Makefile compiler options for SGI. - Carl
+  Buxbaum (crb@world.std.com)
+* Fixed typo in LYMainLoop.c that affected the 'd'ownload command when
+  DIRED_SUPPORT is enabled. - FM
+12-10-96
+* Implemented Safe header handling and prompting about resubmissions of
+  forms with method POST along the lines described in the 24-Nov-96 IETF
+  ID: http://gewis.win.tue.nl/~koen/draft-holtman-http-safe-01.txt
+  Lynx prompts for confirmation whenever it detects that a resubmission
+  would occur, unless the previous reply included "Safe: yes".  Prompts
+  always will occur if the -resubmit_post toggle is on (since resubmission
+  always would occur; not advised).  If not toggled on, resubmissions
+  would occur when no_cache is set or the previous reply has been dumped
+  from the cache.  When using the PREV_DOC command or History Page, if
+  confirmation is not obtained, Lynx will skip to the yet earlier document,
+  or cancel, as appropriate. - FM
+* Added parsing of the Safe header in HTMIME.c, and added a safe element
+  to the anchor and document structures.  Will be FALSE unless a Safe
+  header is received that specifies "YES" or "TRUE" (case-insensitive,
+  only "YES" is in the specs), and applies only to replies from form
+  submissions with the POST method. - FM
+* Cleanup of code in HTAccess.c.  May correct problem of crashes for
+  ISINDEX searches on some systems, though I couldn't reproduce that
+  problem here. - FM
+12-09-96
+* Added an HTSetPresentation() for image/x-xbitmap in HTInit.c when DISPLAY
+  is set. - FM
+* Added an LYOutOfMemory boolean that is set by the outofmem() macro, and
+  code in the Unix FatalProblem() and VMS exit handler for reporting the
+  memory exhaustion instead of the misleading "bug" message when they are
+  invoked due to memory exhaustion.  May not be reported reliably for
+  linux, because for some reason I don't understand, the SIGBUS trapping
+  is ifdef'ed out for linux in LYMain.c. - FM
+* Fixed typo in the new LYAddVisitedLink() in LYHistory.c of yesterday's
+  mods. - KW
+12-08-96
+* Added a VLINKS command, mapped by default to upper case 'V', and code
+  for creating a list of all links 'V'isited during the current Lynx session
+  in order of recency (most recent highest in the list).  Lower case 'v' is
+  still mapped to VIEW_BOOKMARKS.  The VLINKS listing is complementary to
+  the History Page listing, and formatted similarly.  It excludes POST
+  replies, and bookmark, menu and list files (use the History Page or
+  direct keystroke commands for those).  It includes any links that were
+  downloaded, or passed to a helper app (except mailto and newsreply or
+  newsfollowup links, since those require activation in the original
+  document for proper inclusion of it in the email message or news
+  post).  You can print the Visited Links Page, or 'd'ownload it via
+  the History Page. - FM
+* Added reporting of the Charset parameter, if present in a server reply
+  header, META tag, or by virtue of a suffix map, to the showinfo ('=')
+  display. - FM
+12-07-96
+* Added 'p'rint menu support for the History Page. - FM
+* Added a content_length element to the anchor structure and use that,
+  if a Content-Length header has been received, to indicate the total
+  bytes in the statusline when receiving the stream. - FM
+* Include HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE in the lynxcgi environment. - David Trueman
+  (david@cs.dal.ca).
+12-06-96
+* Many more cleanups and commenting of the code for the benefit of new
+  developers. - FM
+* Tweaks of URL parsing and path simplifications.  Added simplification
+  of the file://localhost paths from startup and 'g'oto guesses. - FM
+* More anti-crash protections for bad HTML in SELECT blocks. - FM
+* Usability enhancement for DIRED's 'F' menu: list number and names of
+  (some of) the tagged items, and provide a way to untag all items. - KW
+* Force screen refresh after a DIRED system command has failed. - KW
+* Modified HTFile.c to handle relative and "Up to parent" links more
+  effectively. - KW
+* Added KEYGEN to the DTD (but no code to do anything with it yet). - FM
+12-05-96
+* Fixed typo in the for-Unix section of LYAddPathToHome() that was added
+  yesterday in LYUtils.c. - James Troup (J.J.Troup@comp.brad.ac.uk)
+12-04-96
+* Numerous cleanups and commenting of the LYfoo.c and LYfoo.h modules,
+  for the benefit of new Lynx developers. - FM
+* More security-related enhancements and polishing up of the multiple
+  bookmark file support. - FM
+* Increased the sizes of MAXHIST and MAXLINKS, added statusline messages
+  should they ever be exceeded (not likely now 8-), and code for freeing
+  all excess pointers on each page draw instead of letting them grow and

+* Show nntp server status messages in group listings when not 221 (normal
+  reply to HEAD request), so the user will know that the articles are
+  not available from the server, rather than a bug in Lynx. - FM

+* Added "trick" to send hostname guesses to stdout when the startfile or
+  homepage are not URLs, as we send to the statusline for 'g'oto guesses
+  (but don't use stdout if we are not interactive and the desired output
+  is going to stdout).  If the DNS lookup stalls, one thus can Control-C
+  out, instead of wondering why Lynx is taking so long to start up. - FM
+* Cleaned up the read_rc() and save_rc() functions in LYrcFile.c. - FM
+* Eliminated all printw() calls to avoid problems with non-ASCII and/or
+  multibyte/CJK characters. - FM
+* Numerous additional bug fixes and enhancements of the multiple bookmark
+  file support. - FM
+* Got rid of the ADVANCED_MULTI_BOOKMARKS symbol now that the choice can
+  be made in the 'o'ptions menu and saved in the .lynxrc file. - FM
