Haven't looked into making a form + entry for this yet. With -partial_thres command line option, probably not + necessary (patch by Eric <erbrun@bellatlantic.net>). +* fix some text in lynx.man and Lynx_user_guide.html. The man change includes + changes to "h" and "k" so they work whether or not vi keys are on - DK +* workaround for inconsistency between slang ports to DOS and other platforms + by suppressing test of SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors. This fixes a problem where + colors change in the slang DOS port when the forms_based option menu is + accepted - DK +1998-09-28 (2.8.1pre.4) +* tentative fix for HPUX sed problems (reported by jones.peter@uqam.ca) - TD +* update lynx.man and lynx.hlp to reflect new command-line options - TD +* minor documentation fix - LP +* miscellaneous fixes for build on VMS (reported by Tony Bolton) - TD +* tweak 'const' assignment for VMS (in LYReadCFG.c and LYPrint.c) - LP +* clarify discussion of download in Lynx user's guide (Al Gilman). +* trim trailing newline from lines read from cookie file so that Lynx does + not send embedded newlines in the cookie list - BJP +1998-09-27 (2.8.1pre.3) +* fix a place in cookie_add{accept,reject}list() where cookies would be deleted + from memory if a persistent cookie had the same domain as an entry in + COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP +* move Lynx's writing of persistent cookies to COOKIE_FILE from happening when + you enter the Cookie Jar page to quit time, before cleaning up temporary + files - BJP +* Lynx_user_guide.html: add text about lynx.cfg - LP +* forms-options: options names moved 2 columns to the right (is it good?) - LP +* fix reading .lynxrc "character_set" (trim trailing spaces in fullname) - LP +* fix ReadProgress message for LYshow_kb_rate (while <1024 bytes received + we showed byte-transfer rate even in KB mode), extra dot removed - LP +* DOS text files: opening text mode switch now incorporated in LYNewTxtFile/ + LYAppendToTxtFile and hope for the best - LP +1998-09-25 (2.8.1pre.2) +* fixed forms submission charset: was broken by me in dev26 (HText_SubmitForm() + in GridText.c) - LP +* documentation updates for verbose images - LP +* minor fix for trace message in TrimHightext() -LP +* add compatibility with 2.8/2.7.2 lynx.cfg and (especially) .lynxrc - old + "character_set" parameter now acceptable - LP +* add OUTGOING_MAIL_CHARSET symbol to lynx.cfg to make mail more recognizable + by remote recipient, it may be "US-ASCII" for 7 bit approximation as the + safest case or any other value. If blank, use display character set + (default, compatibility). Currently implemented only for "subject" in + "print-to-email" - LP +* fix SGML.c so invalid characters are not dispalayed in hex UHHHH but just + omitted as already done for plain/text mode - LP +* fix download' suggested file name (8bit) - LP +* correct logic error in "Change Location" command, and allow "~" there in + addition to the existing "~/" prefix (reported by Ismael Cordeiro) - TD +* ifdef'd out "don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese" from dev.23, + with symbol EXP_JAPANESE_SPACES, FIX_JAPANESE_SPACES based on discussion with + HN, LP - TD +* correct missing '\' in generated sed-script for "make install-help" rule, + which changed a couple of "/html" substrings to ".html" (reported by BL) - TD +* modify cfg_defs.sh script to handle empty token in config.cache, e.g., a line + such as "foo=${foo=}" (reported by Philip Chong <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 (patch by BL) + - Make URL guessing (www.huh.com? www.huh.org? www.huh.net?) interruptible. + - Make URL guessing from the command line interruptible. + - Use select() instead of FIONREAD. This makes it work on OSes where + previously it only *looked* like it was working. + - select() on stdin as well as the child pipe, when using [n]curses (not + SLANG). This allows interrupt to be processed instantly, without + up-to-1-second delay. + - While looping, 1 second at a time, bail out after "too many" (currently 50) + loops: just in case something weird happens, like select() returning some + unexpected error that we ignore. + - Make sure child processes are always killed and reaped. + - Close pipe ends as soon as possible. + - Now write the length down the pipe (using a known-to-the-program length of + sizeof(int)) first -- this both helps workaround old CMU TCP bugs and the + fact that select() doesn't let us get number of bytes ready, like FIONREAD + does. +* change default for NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL to TRUE (patch by HN) +* use url for "W3C HTML Validation Service" rather than "A Kinder, Gentler HTML + Validator" +* update url for HTML Quick Reference Guide (report by LE) - TE +* modify verbose images to show ISMAPs and USEMAPs (patch by LE). +* fix typos in AttrList.h, LYStrings.h (reported by LV & HN) - TD +* Chartrans recovery and cleanup: by introducing an invariant + "current_char_set and UCLYhndl_for_unspec always valid charsets" we solve + possible problems with invalid/undeclared charsets. Use + 'safeUCGetLYhndl_byMIME()' for reading charset information from + lynx.cfg/userdefs.h/command line switches to recover possible typos by + fallback to ISO-8859-1; If UCLYhndl_for_unrec or UCLYhndl_HTFile_for_unspec + not set explicitely - now fallback to UCLYhndl_for_unspec (was before, but + not clear in certain places). Add comments to UCMap.h, add comments on + chartrans initialization in LYMain.c. UCAssume_localMIMEcharset and + UCAssume_unrecMIMEcharset now removed (UCLYhandl_* do all the stuff). - LP +* LYCharSets.c: LYRawMode code simplified and comments added. It was realized + that UCAssume_MIMEcharset may differ from its handler as LYRawMode history. + Also: HTMLSetRawModeDefault() moved into HTMLUseCharacterSet() to reduce + clutter, declare HTMLSetCJKCharacterSet() as PRIVATE. - LP +* more "big5" bugs fixed (in HTMIME.c and HTFile.c); function Set_HTCJK() added + to LYCharSets.c - LP +* LYCharUtils.c: META charset code corrected against 2.7.2, obsolete code + removed - LP +* partial mode now repaint the screen in one stage with a complete display + ('display_lines' received, fix in HTPartialDisplay()). Incremental rendering + of the first page may be annoying on slow connection (reported by Nelson + Henry Eric <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 LYCookies.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 dev.17, where lynx can't download files if + it is started from one of the root directories of a disk drive, since it is + trying to write to "c:\\file.ext", rather than "c:\file.ext" - DK +* correct a comment in userdefs.h; commercial Japanese sites are named with + co.jp, not com.jp (LV). +* correct some debug messages in LYCookie.c - BJP +* fix a missing </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 (reported by DK). +* the code in GridText that adds control characters to the current line + does not test for buffer overflow. Normally Lynx gets away with this because + it will wrap the current line as soon as the line exceeds the display width, + but if you have a file with nothing but control characters with no + displayable text in-between (a few thousand hidden links will do), then Lynx + bombs. Modified to silently ignore excess control characters as well as add + a few extra bytes when allocating the line buffer to allow for a bunch of + control characters followed by a kanji or utf-8 sequence. (patch by Dick + Wesseling <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. +* '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 McBrayer) +1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21) +* correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD +* reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros, + PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD +* modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options, + by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and + calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP +* add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD +* add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD +* make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD +* exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP +* The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx + actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for + arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on + the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were + failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps + these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP + mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the + patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and + makefile.wsl - DK +* The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the + default - DK +* correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK +* modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document + source - TD +* add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD +* clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman). +* Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with + a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU + (NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey + Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset + frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g. + on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid. + Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported + starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg + added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP +* Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choises which are not available under + the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print + to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP +* Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize + option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label + "raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for + others. Cleanup postoptions() by introducing flags. - LP +* Force HTuncache_current_document if gen_options() invoked. This is a + dirty fix until we uncache previous document only when necessary. - LP +* Add time/date in addition to X-URL and BASE (PrependBaseToSource), (request + by Hans-Joachim Gurt <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 (patch by Mike Castle), ifdef'd + with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS and configured with --enable-forms-options. +* add option -eat_all_cookies and corresponding config variable + EAT_ALL_COOKIES (Brian J Pardy <posterkid@psnw.com>). +* correct spurious 'Content' string versus newline after X-URL in LYMail.c + (Bela Lubkin and LV). +* updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3 - TD +* updated experimental persistent-cookie support based on RP's patch: Replaced + the call to strsep with a home-rolled one for those people who don't have it. + (Reported by Bela Lubkin, Mon, 27 Jul 1998 16:51:14 -0700 on the mailing + list.) Bela's modification to make some character arrays static is also + included. +* nits/spelling in LYPrint.c, LYUtils.c (reported by Mike Castle). +* changed LYGetFile.c to build lynx2.8.1dev.18 with SLANG and the + DJGPP_KEYHANDLER for DOS - DK +* fix a couple of places where the return-value of calloc was not checked + (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>) - TD +* correct typo in command-line parsing of -lss option (reported by Chris + Kottaridis <chrisk@BSDI.COM>) +* 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.

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 interferring, + problem reported by Jacob Poon & FM). - LP +* modify logic for zero-width spaces in conv_uni_to_pc to exclude 0x200a - LP +* supply missing "break", which was forcing raw utf-8 output in URLs (NOT hex + escaped) - LP +1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.12) +* remove unneeded definition used in testing dev.11 from config.hin) - TD +1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.11) +* fixes for function-keys with slang configuration on DOS (patch by DK). +* correct missing '&' in command-line options entry for syslog (reported by + HN) - TD +* correct initial value for NoColorvideo with PDCurses, from my error in + 1998-05-10 integration (reported by DK) - TD +1998-05-10 (2.8.1dev.10) +* eliminate assignment to stderr for trace-file by making tfp a function. - TD +* added John Davis' keymaps/keysym patch (it really should be integrated with + the normal lynx.cfg file). +* tweak chartrans, "Convert the octet to Unicode": incoming symbols >127 but < + LYlowest_eightbit[IN-charset] now ignored, previously displayed as UFFFD. + (SGML.c, HTPlain.c, LYCharUtils.c) - LP +* removed conflicting/unused declaration of 'bzero()' from tcp.h (from report + by Ashraf Zorkani <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.

(reported by Alex Matulich + alex@unicorn.us.com & FM). - LP +* restore information in the INSTALLATION file for the DOS port on patching + tcplib. Also, clarifies the location of nullpkt. It also clarifies + that the PDCurses beta has incorporated some of the patches we made for + the lynx DOS port. - DK +* modify logic that updates bookmark file after removing a link to use copy + rather than rename, to solve file-ownership problems (patch by Paul + Gilmartin, though I kept the permissions check). - TD +* reduce a little of the clutter in tempname() with fmt_tempname, and + bad_tempname functions. Though this doesn't address the security problems it + does fix the problem with signed getpid values. - TD +* simplify LYUtils.c with compare_type() function - TD +* add/use string functions LYLowerCase, LYUpperCase, LYRemoveBlanks (replaces + collapse_spaces), LYTrimLeading, LYTrimTrailing (incidentally fixes core-dump + in LYCookie.c) - TD +* rewrite read_cfg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a + patch by John Davis) - TD +* rewrite parse_arg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a + patch by John Davis) - TD +* omit -Olimit compiler option on Digital UNIX 4.0 (patch by Tomas Vanhala). +* modify configure test for acs_map[] array to work on Digital UNIX 4.0 + (reported by Jim Spath and Tomas Vanhala <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 Hlav\'{a}\v{c}ek <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". +* Change default for USE_TRACE_LOG in userdefs.h to TRUE, to make behavior + consistent with 2.7.2 - TD +* Rename no_color_video symbol in LYCurses.c to NoColorVideo, to avoid conflict + with term.h, which is included by curses.h on some systems (reported by Paul + Gilmartin). - TD +* modify include-path in djgpp makefile to avoid conflicting tcp.h - DK +* Add -tagsoup option, for initializing parser directly to TagSoup. - TD +* Modify HTML.c, ifdef'ing some of the logic involved in unstacking tags. It + appears to be not completely necessary: makes Lynx a little faster, at the + cost of making the tagsoup parser do the wrong thing. Some entries in the + tagsoup DTD table versus the sortasgml table have SGML_EMPTY versus + SGML_MIXED. This information is used to control unstacking (in the + color-style configuration as well). There is still a problem evidenced + when toggling between the two parsers in the Lynx main help page, but that + appears to be missing logic in 2.8's version of the tagsoup parser. - TD +* Modify HTTCP.c to check the length returned from gethostbyname(), which + returns 0 on error on a SunOS 4 system (reported by Paul Gilmartin). - TD +1998-03-29 (2.8.1dev.5) +* Fixed my typo for FNAMES_8_3 define. WB +* Added SYSTEM_MAIL and SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS defines for DOSPATH target. WB +* Better kluge to set terminal type for DOSPATH. WB +* Restored DOSPATH kludge to get to root of directory. WB +* Added a bit of missing _WINDOWS_NSL ifdef'ing. WB +* Minor DOS dirent mod to work with Tom's rearrangements. WB +* Changed #if XYZ to #ifdef XYZ in tcp.h for dumb (?) compilers. WB +1998-03-25 (2.8.1dev.4) +* restore original string in LYUtils.c when user enters a badly formed or + nonexistent URL when prompted for Goto/history list (patch by Randall + <hezekiah@may98.rahul.net>). Otherwise Lynx would always attempt to load a + local file if the original string omits scheme:// prefix but guessing fails. +* tweak formatting of .message in HTFTP.c so it has leading/trailing blank + lines (patch by Ismael Cordeiro <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@voland.cc.huji.ac.il and wschiavo@concentric.net>) +* consistently use ${cf_cv_ncurses_header-curses.h} rather than + $cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure script, as noted by JS - TD +* tweak include of HTML.h in HTFile.h to fix compile problem on VMS (we really + should not use quote-style includes) - TD +* fixes to LYStyle.c to make color-style code work on Digital Unix 4.0 - TD +1998-03-20 (2.8.1dev.3) * Added death for Win/DOS clients that don't have a TMP space defined. - WB * Added _WINDOWS_NSL to provide interruptable lookups in Win32 per a patch from afn06760@afn.org.
