---- RELEASE of 2.3  (19-May-1994) ---
-5-19-94
-* Better memory allocation routines used for some VMS systems.
-5-19-94
-* Non-interactive (-source) access to documents requiring access authorization
-  not allowed to avoid crashes.
-3-30-94
-* Lynx exports the environment variable LYNX_VERSION on UNIX systems
-  with the current version number as the value.
-3-29-94
-* added "action=" handling to ISINDEX tags.  (Is that in the spec?)
-3-27-94
-* fixed Telnet security problem
-3-19-94
-* added .mailcap and mailcap support as well as mime.types support
-  for the configuration of viewers and extension mappings.
-  The test command is now implemented so that viewers can be conditionally
-  setup.
-3-17-94
-* Revamped the FTP code to recognize different server types and to parse
-  full directory listings (LIST output).  File types, sizes and dates
-  are displayed when possible.
-3-16-94
-* added transparent support for mosaic bookmark files.  Just point
-  Lynx at your existing default mosaic bookmark file and Lynx will
-  handle the rest.  Viewing, addition, and removal are supported.
-3-15-94
-* added second line of reverse video to show multiline links better.
-3-10-94
-* added configurable MIME types and viewers to lynx.cfg.  MIME types
-  and VIEWERS can be configured by following the instructions within
-  the newest lynx.cfg file.
-3-?-94
-* added second %s argument to PRINTER and DOWNLOADER definitions.
-  If a second %s is present in the command definition it will be
-  filled in by a suggested filename which is derived from the URL
-  of the document.  See lynx.cfg for more details.
-3-?-94
-* got code from CERN to fix HTBTree FTP bug.  Large ftp lists should
-  not crash anymore.
-3-9-94
-* added no_proxy environment variable.  set it to a comma delimited list
-  of domains or hosts that should not be proxyed. (Thanks CERN :)
-  USAGE: (UNIX)
-     setenv no_proxy "domain1.dom, domain2.dom, domain3, etc"
-3-?-94
-* Fixed Referer: field handleing so that it doesn't crash on really
-  long URL's
-3-?-94
-* True popup menus are now supported for non-multiple SELECT lists.
-2-28-94
-* fixed the delete-a-bookmark command and bound it to 'r' for remove.
-  (thanks to David Trueman for the fix)
-
----------- RELEASE of 2.2 ------------------
-2-9-94
-* added 'd' for download current link.  Can be used to force a download
-  of any file.
-* 'r' removed as a comment key.  Use 'c' or reconfigure your keys to
-  add 'r' back in.  (I would like to use 'r' in the future to mean
-  remove current bookmark link)
-* Found the bug in the HTTP redirection code that was causing it
-  not to work.  So HTTP redirection appears to work now!
-* Added Referer: header to HTTP requests to list the URL of
-  the document listing the requsted URL.   Here's an extract from CERN:
-     This optional header field allows the client to specify,
-     for the server's benefit, the address ( URI ) of the document
-     (or element within the document) from which the URI in the
-     request was obtained.
-
-     This allows a server to generate lists of back-links to documents,
-     for interest, logging, etc.  It allows bad links to be traced
-     for maintenance.
-
-2-8-94
-* changed novice line to be displayed on bottom two lines with the
-  status line moved up two lines.
-1-27-94
-* Made configurable keymappings a reality.  Keys can be remapped in
-  the lynx.cfg file.  (diffs from David Trueman)
-* Got code from Foteos to make 'a' work for VMS connection interrupts.
-1-24-94
-* Moving closer towards configurable keymappings.  New keyhandleing
-  code will make it very easy to implement. (diffs from David Trueman)
-1-14-94
-* Lynx FTP now supports PASV code. (fixes to CERN (Dave Raggert?) PASV code
-  from John Ellson)  It is not enabled by default.  Line 43 in
-  WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFTP must be commented out for
-  PASV code to be used.  This was done because not all FTP sites
-  can support PASV FTP.
-1-13-94
-* slight change in forms user interface.  For the better, I hope you will
-  agree.  Text input fields are now active as soon as the cursor pointer
-  is over them.  Therefore you may begin typing into the text field
-  as soon as you come to it.  Tab, and up and down arrow keys will
-  move off of the text input field.  The only problem with this is as
-  follows.  If you are in the habit of using the number keys (keypad)
-  the or h,j,k,l vi keys, as soon as you move over the text link
-  you will begin seeing numbers or hjk or l show up in the text field.
-  In other words, your movement commands are now broken :(  You must
-  use true arrow keys or the tab key to move off of the text field.
-  I've tried this out and it seems to work alright.  I don't think
-  that users unfamiliar with this will have too hard a time figureing
-  it out.  Once you see numbers or letter appearing it becomes fairly
-  obvious whats going on.  I'll put a message at the bottom of the
-  screen saying "use tab or arrow keys to move off of link."
-* added mods by David Trueman to implement -restrictions commandline
-  option.  -restrictions allows a list of services to be disabled
-  selectively. -restrictions takes the form of
-  "lynx -restrictions=[default],[all],[inside_telnet],[outside_telnet],[shell],\
-	[editor],[bookmark],[option_save],[print],[file_url],[download],[exec]"
-
-   all             restricts all options.
-   default         same as commandline option -anonymous.  Disables
-	           default services for anonymous users.  Currently set to,
-	           all restricted except for: inside_telnet, outside_telnet, and
-	           goto.  Defaults settable within userdefs.h
-   inside_telnet   disallow telnets for people coming from inside your
-		   domain.
-   outside_telnet  disallow telnets for people coming from outside your
-		   domain.
-   shell	   disallow shell escapes
-   editor	   disallow editing
-   bookmark	   disallow changing the location of the bookmark file.
-   options_save    disallow saving options in .lynxrc
-   print           disallow most print options
-   goto            disable the 'g' (goto) command.
-   file_url        disallow using G)oto to go to file: URL's
-   download        disallow saving binary files to disk in the download menu.
-   exec            disable execution scripts
-   exec_frozen     disallow the user from changing the execution link
-		   setting in the O)ptions menu.
-1-12-93
-* added new more informative messages for form links.
-1-11-93
-* fixed -dump and -source options so that they work for
-  binary files now.
-* Interruptable I/0 now completely works for UNIX systems.
-  VMS is next.  Just hit an 'a' for abort anytime during a
-  transfer to abort.  If there is a partial file to show, it
-  will be shown.
-* Added command line option -show_curser.  If enabled the curser
-  will not be hidden in the right hand corner but will instead
-  be positioned at the start of the currently selected link.
-  show curser is the default for systems without FANCY_CURSES
-  capibilities, and the default configuration can be changed in
-  userdefs.h
-1-9-93
-* Added NNTP posting capibilities.  Currently uses external inews
-  program which will be included in the utils directory.
-  Would someone like to patch in some freeware inews code, or
-  send me some?
-1-7-93
-* fixed bug in password handling which cuased it to be displayed
-  accidentally :(  (Danny Mayer)
-1-6-94
-* bold and emphasis now use curses underlining to represent
-  ephasized text.  The use of _underline_ chars before and after
-  the text is now removed.
-1-5-94
-* Added configurable download menu so that binary files may
-  be downloaded using any protocal.  Download menu is displayed
-  after selecting a non-displayable file.
-* Added exec links.  4 types currently defined:
-    files ending in:  .csh, .ksh, .sh, (for UNIX)  and .com (for VMS);
-  Use exec link controls to turn on and off exec links.
-* Gopher menues are now within PRE so that spaces are not
-  collapsed in menu entries.
-* added configurable character sets.  Can be set in lynx.cfg
-  by the user in the options screen or in the users .lynxrc file
-  current sets are: ISO Latin I, IBM PC Character set, & 7 bit
-  approximations.  New sets can be added to src/LYCharSets.c

-* Incorporated WWWlib 2.14 and fixed up the descrip.mms files.
-  Foteos Macrides made VMS port changes and wrote a really nice
-  build.com script to make compilation on VMS systems really easy.

-* 's' now means search a searchable indexed document through the
-  server, and can no longer be used to search for strings within

-  multiple directories to find the correct file.  If you still
-  need this capibility talk to me.
-
-10-12-93

-
-8-15-93

-  '\' while viewing a rendered HTML document you will get the HTML source
-  when you press '\' while viewing HTML source you will get the
-  rendered HTML.
-* Added ALT attribute to IMG tag.  When ALT is available the contents
-  are displayed.  When ALT is missing [IMAGE] is displayed.  When
-  ALT="" nothing is displayed.
-
-8-14-93
-* Added document reload command.  CTRL-R when pressed will reload
-  the document into memory and redisplay it, clearing the screen.
-  This is very useful when editing documents, outside of Lynx while
-  using Lynx for rendering.
-* Added source view mode.  '\' when pressed will reload the document
-  and display the HTML source. (doesn't work for gopher directoryies right
-  now, but gopher isn't HTML anyways)
-* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused it not to be able to convert to
-  www/source.
-* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused most binary file transfers to fail
-* added binary file transfer ability.  When binary files are selected

-
-??-??-??
-* At some point I added the ability to edit HTML files on the local
-  machine.
-
-8-12-93
-* Added Nested Lists, up to six levels, with different bullets
-  for each level.
-* Due to the fact that nearly everyone seems to use P to mean
-  two returns within the same style, and Mosaic has been kind
-  enough to support this meaning, :( :( :(  I have changed
-  the P tag to reflect this interpretation.  P can be used
-  anywhere and will mean insert two returns.  (i.e., two BR tags)
-
-8-11-93
-* Made the default Mime type for unknown file types on ftp servers
-  to be text/plain.  Previously the WWWLibrary had the default
-  as application/octet-stream which meant that most files could not
-  be viewed.
-* Changed the ADDRESS style to be more like XMosaic
-  Left flush, newline top and bottom
-* The Statusline now displays the URL when retrieving files.
-* added BR (linebreak) tag!
-  The BR tag inserts a line break and maintains the current style!
-  The BR tag may be used anywhere.
-* added HR (horizontal rule tag!)
-  The HR tag puts a horizontal line seperating two bodies of text.
-  The HR tag may be used anywhere.
-
-8-8-93
-* All spaces, tabs and returns are now collapsed down do one
-  space.
