(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 - -----------RELEASE of Lynx 2.1 and 2.1.1---------------------- --grey area- -* Ability to FTP to VMS systems. (Foteos Macrides) -* Fixed lots of display and interupt problems (Foteos Macrides) -* The Lynx Bookmark file is now interpreted as an HTML document. - Old Lynx bookmark files must be converted using the lynx2html - program or deleted. -* HTML+ forms as implemented by XMosaic now work. - fill in the empty spaces and press the submit button to - submit the form. -* The TEXTAREA tag isn't done yet. It will currently only - give a one line text area. The next version of Lynx will - include a true textarea implementation once I figure out a - reasonable interface. -* 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. - Foteos also ported Lynx to OpenVMS for alpha axp systems. -* 's' now means search a searchable indexed document through the - server, and can no longer be used to search for strings within - the displayed document. -* '/' now only searches through the current displayed document for - strings and can not be used for searchable index documents. -* Capital 'Q' now quits without asking for confirmation. -* 'm' for Main Menu now askes for confirmation and does NOT clear - the history stack. -* Blockquote style changed slightly. -* fixed bug with A and other tags messing up formatting - withing PRE segments. -* Verbose Gopher option removed, verbose gopher functionality - is now set permenantly on. -* Default editor is now configurable in the lynx.cfg file. -* Default bookmark file is now configurable in the lynx.cfg file. - -12-15-93 -* ownership is no longer inherited. -* link rev="owner" href="mailto:ADDRESS" now accepted as well as - link rev="made" href="mailto:ADDRESS" to define the URL of the - owner or person responsible for the info. -* 's' now only searches ISINDEX server documents. -* '/' always means search within the document. - --grey area- -* still doing massive rewrite. Debugging!! - -11-30-93 -* anonymous users cannot change the bookmark page! (thanks to Jyrki Kuoppal for - pointing out a security hole) - --grey area- -* massive rewrite.

If you still - need this capibility talk to me. - -10-12-93 -* The users specified editor is now spawned for mail messages. - If no editor is defined or if the user is anonymous, the built-in - lynx mail sender is used. - -10-11-93 -* changed all static data structures to be dynamic - This was a pretty major change of code which may add several - bugs. -* rewrote parse_links routine to make it more efficient and to - work with dynamic structures. - -10-6-93 -* added progress messages to HTTP transfers. - -10-5-93 -* added -cache=# command line option to specify the number - of WWW documents cached in memory. - -9-28-93 -* added VMS port fixes from Foteos Macrides. Lynx now - compiles and works on VMS! -* fixed ftp bug in WWWlib that didn't de-escape URL's before - sending request to FTP server. - -9-21-93 -* fixed coredump bug for some files with no links. - -9-3-93 -* Moved many configuration options including printer setup to - lynx.cfg file. The default placement of the lynx.cfg file - will be /usr/local/lib & sys$public - -9-1-93 -* Removed STARTDIR variable from userdefs.h STARTDIR is now inferred - from the STARTFILE. - -8-30-93 -* Fixed bug with only one link selectable out of many on the last line - of the display. -* Ported to SVR4 courtesy of Nickolay Saukh (from Russia, Wow this is - really getting around!) -* Uneditable documents don't get refetched.

Made a new help location and - server. The new default help file is - http://kufacts.cc.ukans.edu/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html - -8-15-93 -* changed '\' to toggle between source and no source. When you press - '\' 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 - the user is prompted for a file name to save to. The default directory - is the one the user started in. -* Lynx now reloads local HTML files and re-renders them after editing. - -??-??-?? -* 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. -* fixed bug whiched caused certain links beginning at the - begining of a line to be bad. -* added '*' (stars) to unordered lists and numbers to ordered - lists. -* changed dir lists to be more like menu lists. -* all emphasis, physical and symantic, now have _underlines_ - around them to show emphasis. - - -RELEASE OF VER 2.0.10 ----------------------------------------------- - -7-8-93 -Added [IMAGE] in all places where IMG tags appear. -added WWW_HOME environment variable support. -fixed searching in WWW. -removed tildas from mail messages for security reasons. -added emacs-like key defs. -changed gopher dir routines and Verbose format of directories - -6-30-93 -Forgot to put all kinds of bug fixes and stuff in here during the -past month.

Will - override the "LYNX_CFG_FILE" definition in userdefs.h. The -cfg command - line switch will override those.

Use -trace to diagnose. **" statusline messages - when bad HTML is encountered, and suppress those statusline messages in - favor of the TRACE messages when -trace is used. - FM -* Fixed anchor deletion problem in yesterday's ISMAP mods. - FM -* Removed -ltermcap from AIX makes (AIX doesn't use it). - FM -04-16-95 -* Send a 0,0 coordinate pair if a user clicks on an ISMAP link, so that - it's handled equivalently to clicks on an ISMAP submit button, and - (typically) will return the server's default. Note that the default - often is the parent document, and if so, the current document will - be returned via redirection (pointlessly 8-). However, this mod - allows the WebMaster to use a pure-text document as the default for - Lynx. - FM -* Protections against crashes for inappropriately positioned form tags. - FM -* Fixes in handling of configurable INEWS path. - FM -* Support for VT500 series terminals. - George Cook (cook@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu) -04-12-95 -* Makefile tweaks for bsdi and aix4. - FM -04-11-95 -* Mods for building with BSD Interative (bsdi). - FM -04-08-95 -* Added translation of HTML entities and decimal escaping for the - VALUEs of INPUT and OPTION tags. - FM -* For TYPE="image" INPUT tags, use "[IMAGE]-Submit" as a pseudo-ALT - string, and submit a 0,0 coordinate pair if it's clicked, which - typically will invoke the server's default (I guess something is - better than nothing. 8-). - FM -* Handle (possibly multiple) angle brackets in bookmark and showinfo - link names. - FM -* Fixed typo in for-ultrix code in LYMain.c. - FM -04-04-95 -* Added ability to set proxy environment variables via lynx.cfg. - FM -04-01-95 -* Added handling of the HTML 3.0 attributes for ISINDEX tags: - ISINDEX HREF="reference" PROMPT="string" - The ACTION attribute didn't make it into HTML 2.0.

Don't require - any host field marker in such URLs - FM -03-21-95 -* Added handling of defaulted localhost in file URLs. - FM -* More protections against bad HTML. - FM -* SYSLOGing enhancements. - GL -* Suspend curses during my_spawn()'s, and fixes of code for the child - and error return detection. - GL -03-20-95 -* More protections against potentially infinite loops. - FM -03-16-95 -* Enhancements of 'c'omment and mailto handling. - FM -* Mods to build.com for enabling submission to BATCH. - FM -* Ultrix terminal-handling fix. - Roman Czyborra (czyborra@cs.tu-berlin.de) -03-15-95 -* Fixed bug in for-Unix directory listing code to screen out inaccessible - parent directories. Was also being applied to ftp listings. - FM -* Made bolding of H1 through H7 headers a lynx.cfg option, with the - non-bolding as the compilation default. - FM -03-13-95 -* Fixed bug in setting link[].lname elements to empty strings for form - INPUT_ANCHORs. Was causing showinfo() to report the links from the - previous document (yet another memory leak bites the dust 8-). - FM -* Numerous fixups of bold and underline handling. - FM -03-09-95 -* Increased the while() loop limit for select() tries in HTTCP.c to 500. - FM -* Memory allocation/free fixes in HTAccess.c. - FM -* Makefile and documentation tweaks. - FM -03-07-95 -* Implemented HT_BOLD when specified for headers in DefaultStyle.c. H1 is - now uppercase, bold, and centered. H2 - H7 are lower or mixed case, bold, - and progressively indented. - FM -* Miscellaneous enhancements of menu displays. - FM -* Allow tabs and '$' in lynxexec commands. - FM -* More TOUPPER/TOLOWER fixes. - FM -03-06-95 -* Added ability to set the INEWS path in lynx.cfg. - FM -03-05-95 -* Separated the newspost URL into newspost versus newsreply, and modified - LYNews.c to behave more rationally for new versus followup posting. - FM -* Added "mode reader" command for news list and article requests. - FM -* Enabled saving of list_dir_style settings in the user's RC file. - FM -* Don't restrict rearming SIGINT in LYClean.c for IGNORE_CTRL_C to just - SVR4. - FM -* Added numerous protections against core_dumps/ACCVIOs in HTML.c for bad - HTML. Should also help reduce likelihood of infinite while() loops and - a runaway CPU if binary files are mistyped and rendering is attempted. - FM -* Added (unsigned char) type casts in addch() calls for proper handling of - high value ISOLATIN1 characters. - FM -* Limited the while() loop for select()'s in HTTCP.c to 50 tries, to help - reduce likelyhood of a runaway CPU on undetected terminal disconnects. - FM -* Fixed typo in build.com. - FM -* Added Craig's lynx_help and about_lynx files for the lynx2-3-7 distribution, - updated for lynx2-3-9 BETA. - FM ---- STARTING 2.3.9 BETA --- -============================================================================== -02-20-95 -* Updated doc files and passed on to UKans for archiving on the - ftp2.cc.ukans.edu server as 2.3.8 BETA. - FM -02-17-95 -* Further updates of building procedures for VMS. - FM -* Further updates of lynx.man, lynx.hlp and documentation. Indicate - that the inside_foo and outside_foo restrictions are not selective - on systems which lack utmp. - FM -* Changed yesterday's DGUX define fo DGUX_OLD, because only older - Data General systems need it. - FM -02-16-95 -* Added Jeff's updates of lynx.man and lynx.hlp, further updated for - v2.3.8 - FM -* Fixed typos in LYMail.c and HTTPC.c. - FM -* Cleaned up #ifdef'ing for -DIGNORE_CTRL_C. - FM -* Added -DDGUX for using inet_addr(host).s_addr instead of inet_addr(host) - in HTParseInet() of HTTCP.c (Data General may need it). - FM -* Don't report "-help" as an invalid option. - FM -02-15-95 -* Handle HTML entities and decimal escaping in ALT strings. - FM -* Build fixups for TCPWARE. - FM -02-14-95 -* Added transmission of Accept-Language headers. A default preferred - language is defined in userdefs.h. It can be overridden via lynx.cfg. - Users can change that via the 'o'ptions menu and save their preference - in their RC file. - FM -* Tweak of FIXED record handling on VMS. - FM -* Defined Unix ZIP_PATH and UNZIP_PATH in userdefs.h. - FM -02-12-95 -* Added -localhost switch for restricting access to files and servers - on the local host. - FM -* Added -nobrowse switch for disabling directory browsing. - FM -* Added -selective switch for requiring a .www_browsable file in - each directory for browsing access to it. The enabling files - are not included in the directory listings. - FM -* Fixed up displaying of README files in directory listings on - VMS. - FM -* Replaced all tolower() and toupper() calls with the TOUPPER() and - TOLOWER() macros in HTUtils.h (should help deal with some of the - strange behavior reported for some flavors of Unix; see header of - HTUtils.h). - FM -Worked in mods from David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) - FM: -* Don't issue the ../ link in Unix local directory listings if the parent - directory is not readable (was already dealt with on VMS - FM). -* Include an Organization: header in Unix news postings, if possible - (was already dealt with on VMS - FM). -* Don't allow the editing of Unix mail headers because that is error - prone (no change on VMS; editable pseudo-headers are included for - informational purposes, but the real headers are those of the - account running Lynx - FM). -* Don't hardcode the Unix mv command; use MV_PATH define in userdefs.h. -* Moved the Unix COPY_COMAND define to userdefs.h as COPY_PATH. -* Completed the Unix ZIP support. -02-10-95 -* Added code for converting the headers of downloaded binaries on VMS - to indicate FIXED 512 record format. See the documentation in - userdefs.h, lynx.cfg and FIXED512.COM for more information. - FM -02-08-95 -* Fixed glitch in HTInit.c which mis-casted the default MIME type for - files with a .sh extension, causing the EXEC_SCRIPT function to be - disfunctional. - FM -* I think I finally have Lynx showing "(p# of N)" properly in the title - lines (we'll see if perfection has really been achieved 8-). - FM -* Extended directory browsing on VMS to the -homepage specification, - if included on the command line, e.g., lynx -homepage=sys$login - will start up Lynx with the default startfile, but the 'm'ain menu - command will yield listings of the home directory. - FM -* Added -fileversions switch on VMS for including all versions of files - in directory browser listings (otherwise, only the highest version is - listed, with no version numbers displayed). - FM -* Modified LYEdit.c to use fopen(filename,"a") instead of access(filename,2) - to verify write access for editing files (checking "append" access appears - to be a more reliable way to do it across platforms/flavors). - FM -02-07-95 -* Implemented directory browsing for VMS. - FM -* Fixed printer command handling to actually prompt for and use a second - filename argument if two "%s" strings are in the command map. - FM -* Added anti-Unix-shell-spoofing code for all of the filename argument - handling. - FM -* Fixed glitch in getenv(DISPLAY) calls on VMS. -02-04-95 -* Fixed a glitch in BASE support. Should now work properly when both - standard and Lynx-specific hrefs are in the document. - FM -02-03-95 -* Added support for posting to newsgroups from Lynx on VMS via the - ANU-NEWS software. - FM -* Numerous href parsing enhancements. - FM -* Enhancements and bug fixes of news displays. - FM -* Enabled display of Linknames with angle brackets (as for news URLs) - in the showinfo page. - FM -* Ensured that a file URL which is really an ftp URL will yield an - "FTP is Disabled" statusline message when it's disabled. - FM -02-01-95 -* Defined out the LYK_VERSION code and made Control-V a dead key again, - since including the Lynx name and version strings in the showinfo ('=') - and 'o'ptions displays is adequate, and people on different platforms - or flavors associate Control-V with other functions. - FM -01-31-95 -* Beefed up the BASE support. - FM -* Made all WWWLib cover pages and menus HTTP/1.0 compliant (to ensure - resetting of any BASE tags) and gave them more pizzaz. - FM -* Trim terminal slashes in ftp paths if not the Welcome directory, so - we'll get "Up to" links. Terminal slashes in file paths still force - that directory to be treated as the Welcome directory. For example, - ftp://host/blah/foo/ will have an "Up to blah" link listed, but - file://host/blah/foo/ will treat /blah/foo/ as "Welcome" (both ftp - and file "Up to" links are blocked by -DNO_PARENT_DIR_REFERENCE). - FM -* The VMS SOCKETSHR_TCP support can't yet handle telnet, tn3270 or - rlogin URL's (Andy Harper is working on it; be patient 8-). Modified - HTTelnet.c to compile properly and behave rationally when such URL's - aren't supported. - FM -* Corrected doc files based on Larry Virden's (lvirden@cas.org) careful - (or is it carefull) proof-reading. Thanks Larry! - FM -* More type casts for ANSI C compliance. - FM -01-30-95 -* Added numerous type casts for ANSI C compliance. - FM -01-29-95 -* Prototyped HTHostName() for yesterday's mods in HTAccess.c. - FM -* Updated lynx.cfg. - FM -01-28-95 -* Added lynx name and version to the showinfo page and options menu. - FM -* Tweaked Danny's news proxying mods for selective no_proxy directives - with a port field (119) for news, and added equivalent code for wais - (port 210). - FM -* Updated the INSTALLATION file (I hope people read it 8-). - FM -* Hadn't included last night's typo fix in the archived fileset. - FM -01-27-95 -* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) mods for proper handling of - no_proxy directives for news (NNTPSERVER) hosts. - FM -* Worked in Ari Luotonen's (luotonen@dxcern.cern.ch) mods for sending - a "Pragma: no-cache" header for use by a proxy server in conjunction - with the RELOAD command. - FM -* Fixed to handle file URL's appropriately in conjunction with proxying - of ftp URL's. For file URL's on the local host, direct access is - attempted, with no ftp attempt if that fails, whether or not proxying - is in effect, and whether or not no_proxy directives have been set. - Both ftp URL's, and file URL's on a remote host, are sought via ftp - without a direct access attempt. File URL's for remote hosts are - converted to ftp URL's before submission to a proxy server, so no - special procedure need be implemented to induce the proxy server to - act on them (You shouldn't continue using file URL's when you intend - ftp, but Lynx will handle such URL's properly when encountered in - old documents that use file when ftp is intended.) - FM -* Fixed typo in yesterday's "psychotherapy". - FM -01-26-95 -* Escaping of ISINDEX queries needed more tweaks to work properly with - high value IsoLatin1 characters. - FM -* Applied psychotherapy to the schizophrenic behavior that was exhibited - when download, upload, print, history or showinfo commands were used - during displays of each other's menus or temporary files. - FM -* Enabled downloading of links from the history page. - FM -01-25-95 -* Added LYK_VERSION command (^V) for showing version of Lynx. - FM -* Include file fixes for TCPWARE. - FM -* Fixed bug in showinfo() which caused core dumps when invoked while - positioned on any form field which has a "linkname" but a NULL - "filename". - FM -* Fixed glitch in 'p'rint menu. - FM -01-24-95 -* Enabled SOCKSification for any Unix flavor via the SITE-LYDEFS, - SITE-DEFS and SOCKSLIB definitions in the top-level Makefile. Added - info in INSTALLATION on how to do it for VMS. Included notes that you - are better off building Lynx normally, and instead using a SOCKSified - proxy server to get through a firewall. - FM -* Added instructions in INSTALLATION for setting up proxy service. - FM -* Fixed multiple submit button handling to distiguish which button was - activated when they have the same name, and include only that button's - name/value pair in the submission. - FM -* Figured out how to apply all security and restrictions checks for - redirecting URLs returned by ISINDEX searches, and accordingly lifted - the bypasses for the previously insecure access types. - FM -* Added option to use Jerry Whelan's (guru@bradley.edu) BSDselect() for - SVR4 systems with the "type any key" problem. - FM -01-23-95 -* Fixed up escaping of queries in HTSearch(). - FM -* Updated the sample jumps files. - FM -* Worked in socksification mods from Reese Ferry (reesef@VNET.IBM.COM) - FM -* Enabled use of LOCALE for international characters with any Unix flavor - (not just sun) via a define in the top level Makefile. - FM -01-22-95 -* Updated the lynx.cfg configuration file. - FM -* Implemented BASE handling. - FM -01-21-95 -* Fixed -cfg switch handling so that the specified, alternate configuration - file properly is read instead of the default system file specified in - userdefs.h. - FM -* Made 'p'rint, 'd'ownload and 'u'pload menu lists single spaced. - FM -* Fixed HTFileFormat() in HTFile.c so that it properly processes the - suffix-to-MIME-type mappings when version numbers are in local file - URLs on VMS. We therefore no longer trim off the version number if - if was included, and Lynx will now access and process that version - rather than only the highest version. - FM -01-18-95 -* Makefile fixes for convex and linux. - FM -01-17-95 -* More Makefile fixes. - FM -01-14-95 -* Fixes for FreeBSD. - FM -01-12-95 -* Made the "ls -l" emulation in local directory listings a compilation - option (see the top level Makefile). - FM -* Made inclusion of "Up to" parent links in local directory listings a - compilation option (see top level Makefile). - FM -* Message fix for checkmail on Unix. - FM -* Fixes for SCO with gcc. - FM -01-11-95 -* Restored original hash table function in HTAnchor.c without (hopefully 8-) - reviving anchor deletion problems. - FM -* Fixed typo in HTAccess.c. - FM -* Added code in HTFile.c from Timothy Newsham (newsham@aloha.net) for - generating long style Unix listings (ls -l). - FM -01-10-95 -* Escape dashes in lynx.man. - FM -* Added NetBSD support from Bryan T. Vold (btv@wiley.HealthPartners.COM). - FM -* Made anchor searches in hash tables case-sensitive (so paths which - differ only in their case can be distinguished, as people using the - DIRED support kept requesting) without (hopefully 8-) reviving anchor - deletion problems. - FM -01-09-95 -* More Makefile and code fixes for building properly with various systems - and compilers. - FM -01-06-95 -* Numerous fixes for handling signals (e.g., SIGWINCH) received during - keystroke fetches, without (hopefully 8-) reviving the problem of - runaway CPU's on undetected terminal disconnects. - FM -* More Makefile and code fixes for building properly with various systems - and compilers. - FM -01-05-95 -* Changed define for syslog() logging to SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS and picked up - logging of ISINDEX search requests that don't go through getfile(). - FM -* More fixes for redirection returned via ISINDEX searches. - FM -* Fixed missing newline character at end of last .lynxrc entry. - FM -* More Makefile tweaks. - FM -* More additions in LYCurses.h for compilers which fail to check whether TRUE - and FALSE are already defined before defining them in curses.h. - FM -01-03-95 -* Fix for redirection returned via ISINDEX searches. - FM -12-29-94 -* Yet more top level Makefile tweaks. - FM -* Fix bcopy problem for UCX. - Martin Zinser (zinser@vscn.gsi.de) -* Fix ioctl() problem for UCX. - MZ -12-27-94 -* More top level Makefile tweaks. - FM -12-26-94 -* Added Lou Montulli's procedure for PURIFY to the top level Makefile. - FM -12-23-94 -* Added Lou Montulli's memory leak fixes. - FM -* Fixed HTLoadedDocumentTitle() call in LYGetFile.c. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.8 BETA --- -12-22-94 -* The WFEB code as of 12-15-94 has been archived at UKans as lynx2-3-7, - so we'll make this lynx2-3-8 to avoid confusion. - FM -* Added bookmark_exec restriction for disallowing use of lynxexec URL's - in the user's bookmark file or converted Mosaic hotlist. - FM -* Enable any lynxexec URL in JUMPFILE if EXEC_LINKS has been defined. - This allows you to set both LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE - to TRUE and a single TRUSTED_EXEC rule that will always fail (e.g., - TRUSTED_EXEC:none), so that *ONLY* the lynxexec URL's in the jumps - file will be acted upon. - FM -* Disallow lynxexec URL's in G)oto if no_shell is set or if - LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE is TRUE. - FM -12-21-94 -* Include LYFLAGS in the BSDI_Makefile. - FM -* Numerous mods based on patches from David Trueman - FM: -* Changed SUN4 ifdef for implementing the "reverse clear screen hack" to - REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM since not all sun4 systems experience this - problem. -* Changed a few messages to use key_for_func() instead of a hard-coded - key mapping. -* Allow control-C as well as control-G to abort or cancel on Unix (as - already on VMS). On VMS, control-C and control-Y evoke a "Do you really - want to quit?" prompt, and a 'n'o reply gets handled as if control-G - has been entered in the first place. On Unix, control-C is treated - simply as a synonym for control-G, and control-Y is not an interrupt - signal. This seems the best way to handle those control signals, based - on what VMSers versus Unixites would expect them to do. -* Added code to disallow the writing of files beginning with a dot if - NO_DOT_FILES is set TRUE in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg. -* Added possibility of logging URL access via syslog() on Unix (ifdef'd - with LOGGING). -* Improved and made more flexible the security for lynxexec URL's. The - default behaviour is the same as now, but source locations and the path - (Unix) or name (VMS) of programs to be executed can be restricted via - TRUSTED_EXEC rules in the lynx.cfg file. -* Convert ~ in lynxexec paths to $HOME on Unix. -* Several changes in DIRED support. Tidied and consolidated code. Changed - the way tags are freed (fixing a bug where they did not always get cleared - properly). Changed all programs to *_PATH defines. Changed the display - of tags so they work with numbered links. -* Added another restriction to disallow telnet port specifications in - G)oto URL's. -* A bit of special case code in jump handling. If key mapping is G, allow it - to be typed as "go target". -* Change strncmp in remap() to strcmp() (bug fix). -* Report offending bad option in main(). -* In mainloop(), make \r same as \t and \n. -* Combine LYK_REMOVE code with LYK_DEL_BOOKMARK so that they can share the - same key map. -* If show_cursor is true, position cursor 1 position before the link, which - makes it less likely that the link is obscured in defective terminal - programs -12-15-94 -* More fixes in LYno_attr_char_case_strstr() and LYno_attr_char_strstr() - FM -* People didn't like having to erase the default WHEREIS ('/') search string - when it wasn't what they wanted in a new document (though most didn't know - that it can be done easily via ^U), and Lynx doesn't have real editing via - LYgetstr() (just deletion from the end of the string), so I got rid of the - the editing offer. The previous search string is still buffered across - document fetches, and can be used across documents via NEXT ('n'). You - also can use WHEREIS without a search string entry to turn off highlighting - within the current document, and then NEXT to restore it. If control-G is - used instead of a blank string to cancel a WHEREIS command, it does not - turn off the highlighting. So everything everyone asked for is now - possible (once you figure out how to do it 8-). - FM -12-14-94 -* Oops! Fixes in tcp.h for MULTINET with DECC/VAX had left SOCKET_ERRNO - undefined for all the other VMS TCPIP packages. That's what I get for - working on this stuff too late at night. - FM -* Additional ANSI compliance fixes in HTTCP.c for builds with DECC/VAX and - non-MULTINET VMS TCPIP packages. - FM -12-13-94 -* Modified searches for strings within the currently displayed document - ('/', as opposed to 's' for ISINDEX searches) so that the highlighting of - the search string is not retained when the current document is changed, - and added recall buffering of the search string so that it's offered as - the default for editing or reuse on subsequent '/' commands. Also, we - now force redraws on invokations of such searches so that hits will be - highlighted even if they occur on the current page. Links with hits such - that they have embedded highlighting of the search strings will not have - the embedded highlighting restored when the cursor is moved onto and then - off of them (helps to distinguished whether it's intended or the due to - the search), but will be restored whenever the page is redrawn. All - embedded highlighting also is restored when the 'n'ext command is used to - repeat the search in the current document, even if the returned hits do not - cause a page change. Note that these searches first search only the links, - and position you on the first link with a hit occurring after the current - link. If there were no hits in the links, then the text is searched and - the first hit occurring after the current link is positioned at the top of - the page. They never did, and still do not, search both the link and text - portions of the document simultaneously. Also note that ISINDEX searches - never have and still do not yield highlighting of the query string(s) in - the returned document. -* Fixed LYno_attr_char_case_strstr() and LYno_attr_char_strstr() in - HTStrings.c so that they properly ignore any attribute characters in - the comparison string and return a pointer to the correct location - of a match with the target string. - FM -12-12-94 -* Modified FTP gateway to display 230- as well as 250- information/help - messages, and on non-Unix as well as Unix systems. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.7 BETA --- -12-11-94 -* Further tweaked explanatory comments in the configuration and samples - files, and updated the instruction files. - FM -12-09-94 -* Modifed PassesTest() in HTInit.c to avoid the overhead of system() calls - by using getenv() when test -n "$DISPLAY" and test -z "$DISPLAY" - commands are encountered in the mailcap file. Otherwise, needlessly - expensive system() calls potentially could be made for virtually every - viewer mapping in that file!. For Lynx, those two strings in the mailcap - file now are equivalent to the :XWINDOWS and :NON_XWINDOWS flags, - respectively, for VIEWER: assignments in lynx.cfg. - FM -* Also modified PassesTest() so that it simply treats test -n "LYNX_VERSION" - as success. Why spawn a system() command to see if Lynx is running, when - it obviously is!. However, that string can be included in the mailcap - file for assignments that should be restricted to Lynx if other software - also uses the file. - FM -* The above two mods make it unnecessary to actually use a "test" script for - differentially setting viewers in XWINDOWS versus NON_XWINDOWS environments, - so VMSers also can use the mailcap files for differential assigments of - viewers, without those DCL error messages about "test" which have been - mystifying so many people. However, yesterday's mods do make it possible - for VMSers to use a "test" script for checking other environment or system - features, and thereby setting viewer switches differentially, analogously - to the command line switches for Lynx itself. - FM -* Modified comments in samples/mailcap to indicate these enhancements. - FM -* Modified comments in userdefs.h to describe correctly what the Lynx code - does as of v2.3: Any SUFFIX or VIEWER mappings in lynx.cfg will be - overridden in src/HTInit.c if they also appear there. Then, any mappings - in mime.type or mailcap will override those from lynx.cfg and src/HTInit.c. - The XLOADIMAGE definition is used in src/HTIinit.c, and you can use - mailcap, but not lynx.cfg, to override it. - FM -* Modified comments in lynx.cfg and samples/lynx.cfg to indicate what Lynx - really does, and the use of mailcap files to do what lynx.cfg had claimed - it could do but doesn't. - FM -* Fully implemented multiple submit button support for both POST and GET - forms. - FM -* Added LYK_RESUBMIT keymap (with default binding to 'x' and 'X') for forcing - submissions of forms to servers (i.e., never use cache). LYK_ACTIVATE - (with default binding to right-arrow and RETURN) still fetches from cache - if available. Statusline help describes these commands when positioned - on a submit button. - FM -12-08-94 -* Fixed HText_submitForm() in GridText.c to handle submitting INPUT types - (e.g., type="image") which have name/value pairs. - FM -* Modified DCLspawn to recognize -1 on failure and 0 or 1 on success as - return or exit values of scripts, and report -1 or 0 as it's own return - value. If a "test" script is used on VMS in conjunction with .mailcap - for setting viewers, it should return -1 if the test fails and 0 or 1 if - it passes (the "test" script can be DCL or an exectutable, and should be - defined as a foreign command). If you don't have a "test" script, don't - include that instruction in .mailcap. - FM -* The tmpaddress pointer in do_www_search() of GridText.c needed to be - initalized to NULL. - FM -12-07-94 -* Made sufficiently ANSI compliant to build with DECC on VMS without using - the /stand=vaxc qualifier, and further modified so that Lynx will build - and run (extremely well 8-) with DECC/VAX. Whooh, that took some doing! - These mods are also desireable for builds on Unix. - FM -12-02-94 -* Fixed the query recall buffer in do_www_search() of GridText.c to restore - the +'s to spaces and unescape properly. - FM -* Include file and define fix ups, for SOCKETSHR/NETLIB support and convex - builds, in tcp.h, LYShowInfo.c and top level Makefile. - FM -11-27-94 -* Fixed bugs associated with failure to check the post_data element in - addition to the address element when making push/pop decisions for the - history stack, and when checking whether a requested document has been - loaded successfully. The address element is insufficient for documents - returned by POST'ed forms. - FM -* Check -trace switch earlier in LYMain.c so that trace messages associated - with setting up the Lynx configuration will actually be displayed. - GL -11-23-94 -* More fix ups for the SOCKETSHR/NETLIB support. Close to "all set" but needs - more field testing with the full range of TCPIP packages for VMS. - FM -* Added HP_TERMINAL define for the DIM workaround to the REVERSE problem with - HP terminals. If not defined, SNAKE builds will not make that substitution - (would be better to do this in a way that checks the terminal at run time, - but we'll hold off on that for now). - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.6 BETA --- -11-21-94 -* Replaced ucx$inetdef.h with socketshr_library:ioctl.h for the - SOCKETSHR_TCP builds. Note that the ioctl.h is not presently included - in the binary distribution of SOCKETSHR/NETLIB. You have to get it from - the sources distribution. - FM -11-18-94 -* Added Andy Harper's (A.Harper@bay.cc.kcl.ac.uk) "first round" support for - SOCKETSHR/NETLIB (see SOCKETSHR.ANNOUNCE). Note that it is presently - including ucx$inetdef.h which is not provided with SOCKETSHR or NETLIB - source sets, and may not be available to non-UCX sites. We're checking - into how to deal with that. - FM -* Made recall buffering of shortcuts for the 'J'ump command a configuration - file option (in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg). - FM -* Added clearerr() before the GetChar() in LYStrings.c. - FM -* Made the optional novice help lines conform to the "standard default" - key bindings. Edit them appropriately in userdefs.h if you plan to use - other bindings with that feature. -* Added George Lindholm's (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) Makefile patch for making it - just a tad easier to set up local compile options. - FM -* Eliminated serial free() in LYSanctify() of LYGetFile.c. - FM -* Restricted all "hack to fix reverse clear screen problem" code to - SUN4 (had missed one 8-). - FM -11-15-94 -* Eliminated separate list and atexit deletions of redirecting anchors. - FM -* Added Rick Dyson's (Dyson@IowaSP.Physics.UIowa.EDU) updates of the - descrip.mms files. - FM -11-12-94 -* Worked in Malcolm MacArthur's (mcscs2mm@zippy.dct.ac.uk) mods for reading - a printer's page length from the configuration file and calculating the - correct number of pages for the statusline query on whether to continue - if the document is longer than 4 printer pages. Further modified that - code to use the current LYlines for the computation when the built in - "print to screen" option is selected. See the comments concerning - "PRINTER:" definitions in lynx.cfg for more information. - FM -* Fixed HTInetStatus() in HTTCP.c to use SOCKET_ERRNO instead of errno, - based on the platform/transport-specific definitions in tcp.h. Thanks - to Danny Mayer (mayer@ljo.dec.com) for tracking down this glitch. - FM -11-10-94 -* Added David Trueman's latest clever enhancement: The command line option - -homepage=URL separates the notion of a home page (or main screen) from - the start file. So, lynx -homepage=URL1 URL2 will start up with URL2 - but the MAIN_MENU key will take the user to URL1 rather than URL2. This - is useful for public accounts that start up with an information page or - form, that then leads the user to a URL for the actual home page. The - MAIN_MENU key can thereafter be used whenever the user wishes to return - to the actual home page. - FM -* Enlarged string buffer in LYEdit.c to handle large paths. - FM -* Made 'K'eymap title and descriptions easier to edit for alternate languages - (e.g., Dutch or Greek) as required by Dick Wesseling (but, alas, the editing - still has to be done in LYKeymap.c, because it's too much to move into - userdefs.h; someday Lynx will have real internationalization code 8-) - FM -* Added titles to tops of jumps files so that the nesting level will be reset - on reloads. - FM -11-09-94 -* More prototyping and include file fixes in LYJump.c and LYMainLoop.c - FM -11-08-94 -* Prototyping fix in LYJump.c. - FM -* Miscellaneous fixes in src/descrip.mms. - FM -* Hadn't included patch for latest LYUtils.c in lynx2-3-5.patches. - FM -11-07-94 -* At popular request (already 8-), changed the "Jump to:" query to work - exactly like the "goto:" query. The previous entry is recalled, a '?' - must be entered explicitly to fetch the shortcut list (with an instruction - about that added to the prompt), and a blank entry or Control-G returns - the user to the current document. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.5 BETA --- -11-05-94 -* Numerous wonderful enhancements based on patches from David Trueman, and - entensions of those mods. Briefly: -* Implemented 'K'eymap command for showing all of the key bindings currently - in effect, with a description of their functions. This is faster and - more helpful than the online help's description of the default key - bindings. Must be uppercase 'K' if VI keys are ON, otherwise the command - is case-insensitive. Try it, you'll love it! - FM -* Implemented 'J'ump command for using "shortcut" names to access URL's in a - local "jumps.html" file that has a sorted DL list which maps each target - (shortcut) DT to it's full URL DD (see the sample jumps files added to - the distribution). The URL's could be local or remote resources, or - lynxexec or launch file URL's for system utilities (e.g., the shortcut - "news" could invoke the news reader, "mail" the mail utility, "swing" the - VMS File/Directory Management Utility, etc.). This feature is enabled by - defining JUMPFILE in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg, and can be disabled via at - run time via -restrictions=jump as a commandline switch. Must be uppercase - 'J' if VI keys are ON, otherwise the command is case-insensitive. Try it, - you'll love this too! - FM -* Added a CHECKMAIL symbol which if set TRUE in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg will - report the existance of unread mail at Lynx startup, and arrivals of new - mail, via statusline messages. VMSers can block unsoliticed system NEWMAIL - screen broadcasts ($ SET BROADCAST/NOMAIL) when using this feature. It - can be disabled at run time via the -restrictions=mail switch, which also - disables standard mail functions in Lynx, but still allows 'J'umps via a - "mail" shortcut to a lynxexec URL for a script which could perform security - functions before permitting or rejecting access to the mail utility. The - hackers will really love this! - FM -* Added ability to toggle the novice help line to show all of the principle - commands. - FM -* Miscellanous bugs and memory leaks found and fixed in conjuction with - adding and enhancing the above features. - FM -* The code may need some tweaking to build and run properly on some flavors - of Unix (appears to be all set for VMS). - FM -11-01-94 -* Fixed bug if editor is dereferenced. - David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) -* Enable alternate boxing of popup windows via defines for BOXVERT and - BOXHORI in userdefs.h - Dick Wesseling (ftu@fi.ruu.nl) -* Check for LYCursesON before making any Curses calls in cleanup() - DW -10-31-94 -* Looks like the last of the problems deleting anchors has been solved - by Dick Wasseling, so the bypass is lifted again. - FM -* If CANT_EDIT_UNWRITABLE_FILES is defined on Unix, write access is - required to edit files (write and delete access are always required - on VMS). - Alex Whittaker (alex@biu.icnet.uk) -* Moved "Press RETURN ..." text to userdefs.h. - AW -10-28-94 -* Uncache documents or bookmark file before reloads (via Control-R or - 'r'emove command) in LYMainLoop.c. - FM -* Uncache showinfo display or print, download, option, etc, menus before - reloading those in GridText.c. - Dick Wesseling (ftu@fi.ruu.nl) -* Above two fixes still don't completely solve the anchor deletion problem, - so we're still bypassing. -* Enable iso entity translations inside TITLEs - DW -10-26-94 -* Problems when deleting anchors have been reported, apparently for - documents which have been (re)loaded with LYforce_no_cache. So, - we'll retore the bypass until that problem is tracked down. - FM -10-25-94 -* Added coded for disabling mail for -anonymous via CAN_ANONYMOUS_MAIL in - userdefs.h, and via -restrictions=mail (default is enabled). - FM -10-21-94 -* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) samples/lynx.com - FM -10-05-94 -* Modified tcp.h to deal with conflicting typedefing in the MultiNet - types.h and time.h versus those for DECC. - FM -* Define FANCY_CURSES for linux-ncurses. - FM -09-30-94 -* -restrictions help list in LYMain.c should indicate "option_save" (not - "options_save") for disabling the saving of options in .lynxrc. - FM -09-29-94 -Mods based on patches from George Lindholm (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) - FM: -* Fixed problem when IGNORE_CTRL_C is defined, that was created by the - fix for runaway processes on Unix when undetected terminal disconnects - occurred. -* Added options to disable rlogin and/or ftp access. -09-28-94 -* Use "hack to fix reverse clear screen problem" in GridText.c if SUN4 is - defined (still need clarification on the exact nature of the problem - to decide if this is the best way to handle it; it bothers me to have - this kind of hack in the code 8-) - FM -Mods based on patches from George Lindholm (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) - FM: -* Move the "quit" text to userdefs.h from LYMainLoop.c for easier - customization. -* Typo fix for buttons submit value in GridText.c -* Renable SIGINT signal for SVR4 machines if control-c is to be ignored - when editing. -* Solaris fixes for LYCurses.h. -* Recognize pico as a special editor. -* Fix -restrictions help text. -* Fix -telnet and -news options so that they actually do something. -* Fix upload code so that you can have more than one uploader option, - and fix for freeing a static variable. -* Various prototype fixes. -* -editor command line option signals that the editor can't be changed. -* Added a SYSTEM_EDITOR option to lynx.cfg for a locked editor. ---- RELEASE of 2.3.4 BETA --- -09-27-94 -* Alas! I think I've tracked down and fixed all the bugs that were causing - ACCVIOs/CoreDumps if anchors were deleted/freed when freeing the cached - documents. So now we do delete/free them. This plugs a major memory - leak in Lynx (which we knew about, but heretofore had to live with). - FM -* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) fix so that MIME types are handled - case-insensitively. - FM -* Restored text/html (WWW_HTML) as the default MIME type when an HTTP/1.0 - server fails to send it in the headers. This happens because it's the - default in Mosaic and developers using that don't realize their server or - script code is failing to send it (other MIME types will be caught as an - error, and the code will be fixed by the developers). Garrett's change to - application/octet-stream (WWW_UNKNOWN) was technically correct. You can - change it back to that where indicated in HTMIME.c if you prefer that Lynx - be technically correct but functionally wrong when dealing with this - situation. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.3 BETA --- -09-22-94 -* Finished up redirection handling. Will now handle serial redirections - across multiple sites (with an arbitrary limit of 10, to prevent the - possibilily of an infinite loop of circular redirections), works properly - with redirections via the VALUE fields of OPTION tags, and no longer alters - any anchor addresses, avoiding all the problems that caused in the hash - table. - FM -* Worked in Rick Mallett's (rmallett@ccs.carleton.ca) fix for runaway - processes on Unix when undetected terminal disconnects occur. - FM -* Added Eric Jon Rostetter's (ERIC@uoft02.utoledo.edu) code for proper - keyboard handling with DEC eightbit terminals. - FM -* Added David Greer's (david_greer@robelle.com) mods for curses on - HP terminals. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.2 BETA --- -09-17-94 -* More fix ups of forms structure handling, freeing and redirecting. - FM -* Fixed problem with free's of startfile, thanks to Dick Wesseling - ftu@fi.ruu.nl - FM -09-14-94 -* More memory leak and redirection fix ups (still not perfect). - FM -* Various mods to speed up memory management with VAXC on VAXen (still - slow compared to DECC on AXPen). - FM -09-13-94 -* If an ISINDEX document is one returned by a previous search, the 's' - command puts up the query which returned it, for editting as a new query - (use Control-U to erase, Control-G to abort) Otherwise, no string is - offered in the prompt for a database query. If the previous query is - submitted without modification, a message to use Control-R to resubmit - the same query is display (so that the search will not be repeated - inadvertantly). - FM -09-12-94 -* Fixed failure to load the popped menu properly when a gopher search was - selected and a NULL string, Control-G, or arrow key is entered to cancel - the prompt for a query. - FM -* Hit lists/documents returned by ISINDEX searches are now always displayed - at their tops. They no longer inherit, inappropriately, the page and link - numbers of the previous list/document. - FM -09-11-94 -* Fixed redirection handling so that the hash tables are updated and the - history stack works properly, including with forms that have VALUE - fields in OPTION tags that return Location: URL's for searches (e.g., - the CUSI forms at Nexor). Whew, that took some doing! - FM -09-05-94 -* Fixed up remaining problems with OPTION VALUE="foo" handling and the - associated popup window positioning and scrolling. - FM -* Fixed bugs and several inadequacies in the history structure and code - (still needs some redesigning to deal more effectively with all aspects - of documents returned by forms and/or redirection). - FM -* Now deals properly with anchors in a single document returned by - a form. - FM -* Command line file specs on VMS can now be any valid explicit, wildcarded, - partial, or relative VMS specification, and will be converted to a valid - file://localhost/ URL, so that partial or relative URL's within the file - also will be interpretted properly. - FM -* Now trims trailing white space and won't get tripped up by '=' characters - when reading configuration files. - FM -* Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements. - FM -* Tracked down and eliminated more memory leaks. - FM ---- RELEASE of 2.3.1 BETA --- -7-08-94 -* Correction handling of OPTION VALUE="" implemented. -* Miscellaneous bugs corrected. -6-17-94 -* Option to log memory leaks at exit by defining LY_FIND_LEAKS at compilation. -6-17-94 -* Check amount of allocated memory, rather than just number of documents - cached, before deciding to remove the oldest document (implemented for - VMS with VAXC, not yet for Unix or VMS with DECC). -6-16-94 -* VMS bookmark file version numbers are reset on additions of bookmarks. -6-16-94 -* Gopher URL's with /hGET%20/ are converted to http URL's, as in the UMN - Unix/VMS gopher+ client. -6-16-94 -* Added DIRECT_WAIS support for VMS -6-16-94 -* Added build support for VMS TCPWare TCP/IP -5-28-94 -* Increased nesting of HTML elements from 40 to 400. Hopefully this will limit - won't be encountered often. -5-28-94 -* Modified for handling of Telnet URLs with spaces/other characters in the - username. -5-26-94 -* Began terminating memory leaks with extreme predjudice. -5-24-94 -* WAIS searches will now work when they are of type "www/present" as opposed - to only viewing the source. -5-23-94 -* Added VMS CMU TCP/IP support, thanks to Andy Harper. ---- RELEASE of 2.3 (19-May-1994, see CHANGES2-3) --- diff --git a/docs/CHANGES2.5 b/docs/CHANGES2.5 deleted file mode 100644 index 6d2980ca..00000000 --- a/docs/CHANGES2.5 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1696 +0,0 @@ ---- Rename of Lynx2-4-FM and release as Lynx2-5 (02-May-1996) --- -============================================================================== -05-02-96 ---- Release of Lynx2-5 ---- -* Modified documentation, help, and example files based on feedback for - yesterday's Lynx2-5 pre-release. - FM -* Include ";q=0.001" whenever "iso8859-1" or "us-ascii" are autoappended - to Accept-charset headers. - FM -* Added SITE_LIBS symbol in Makefile for convenient linking to any - site-specific libraries associated with any site-specific patches. - FM -* Fixed an unsigned char typecast in GridText.c - FM -* Eliminated statusline and TRACE warnings about possibly strange formatting - when TABLEs are in a document. - FM -05-01-96 -* Renamed Lynx2-4-FM for pre-release as Lynx2-5 -04-30-96 -* Modified the fatal error messages such that they direct the user to - the local system administrator to confirm a bug before reporting it - to lynx-dev, and started updated the help and about files for the - switch to lynx-dev@sig.net as the primary list server. - FM -04-28-96 -* Made use of ordered versus unordered lists and inclusion of article dates - in listings for news groups compilation and configuration options in - userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM -04-27-96 -* Added -realm switch for restricting URLs to the realm of the startfile. - The bookmark and jumps files are always considered as part of the realm. - Any execution links or form ACTIONs are permitted if obtained from - documents in the realm, but any switches that restrict bookmark operations - will still apply. For example, -book -realm will use the bookmark file - as the startfile, and restrict URLs to files in the user's account. Adding - -restrictions=bookmark_exec will block execution links in the bookmark - file, but not in other files within the realm (i.e., in the user's - account). If the startfile is an http URL, the realm will be equivalent - to that in http authorization procedures. Can be used with -traversal - for restricting the traversal to documents within the starting realm - for an http server. - FM -* Fixed bug in form structure which could cause POST to be treated as - GET. - FM -04-25-96 -* Added code to send Host: headers as described in the 23-Apr-96 HTTP/1.1 - draft. - FM -04-23-96 -* Modified HTMIME.c to pass documents with an ISO-8859-3 through -9, EUC-KR, - or ISO-2022-KR charset specified in the Content-Type header, to set the - flag for not doing 8-bit reverse translations, and to issue a statusline - message about the charset instead of forcing a download offer. Will have - garbage in the displays of 8-bit characters if one doesn't have the - corresponding charset installed for the terminal, but no harm should be - done, and those who do can get the files displayed instead of just being - up the creek without a paddle. Korean escape sequences will still be - trashed, since be have no translation functions as for Japanese, and we - still force a download offer if there is a mismatch for the supported - character sets, so the user can cancel and then modify the terminal setup - and charset choice appropriately. - FM -* Increased the maximum number of attributes for tags (was too small for - OBJECT), updated the DTD for SCRIPT, and added the STYLE attribute for - all tags which presently, or might someday, accept it. - FM -04-21-96 -* Modified the news gateway to use an ordered list with the numbers and - dates of the articles indicated in newsgroup listings. - FM -* Fixed the checking and passing of the mailto argument in LYMainLoop.c - to mailmsg() in LYMail.c. - FM -04-20-96 -* Fixed bugs in parsing of nntp and snews partial HREFs, and in the - parsing of NNTP message headers for creation of mailto and newspost - or newsrepy links. - FM -04-19-96 -* Added OBJECT and BODYTEXT to the DTD, based on the 12-Apr-96 W3C draft. - The code for INSERT is still there, and should be remove if OBJECT - becomes a stable replacement.

Yesterday's appears to have been bad. - FM -04-03-96 -* More optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM -* More mods for handling keyboard input via SLANG library functions, - based on patches from JED. Note that the code for IGNORE_CTRL_C - has been bypassed in those mods, as they presently stand. - FM -04-02-96 -* Added "first pass" handling of P end tags. - FM -* Mods of HTCheckForInterrupt() for SLANG, based on patches from JED. - Note that the for-SLANG code is not taking possible SOCKSification of - Lynx into account. - FM -* Use 3 for ^C instead of 7 for ^G as the argument for the slang abort - key in calls to SLang_init_tty(). - JED -* Tweaks of make for clix. - AM -03-31-96 -* More tweaks of memory management. - FM -03-30-96 -* Added support for Japanese translations of text/plain in addition to - text/html documents, and for ALTs and form fields (see 03-26-96 mods). - Needs checking. Also added an LYK_JPN_TOGGLE, mapped to '@' by default, - for toggling JAPANESE mode ON and OFF, and code to indicate the situation - in the 'o'ptions menu. - FM -* Added make for ultrix-slang and decstation-slang, and tweaks of LYCgi.c - for ultrix. - Alvian Tam (atm@newt.phys.unsw.edu.au) -* Found and fixed some typos in yesterday's mods. - FM -03-29-96 -* Added build-slang.com for building Lynx with the SLANG library instead - of curses on VMS. - FM -* Mod to treat an EOF with errno of EINTR when GetChar() is defined as - getchar() in LYgetch() as due to a Ctrl-Z suspend, and invoke another - character fetch instead of exit on error. Based on patch from Gregory - Neil Shapiro (gshapiro@WPI.EDU). - FM -* Numerous optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM -03-28-96 -* More tweaks of SLANG support. - FM -* Yet more tweaks of the HTList functions and macros, and their associated - memory management. - FM -03-27-96 -* Fixed bug which could cause a crash if links are numbered and you - activate a link via a number when there are no links on the currently - displayed page. - FM -* Tweaks of Content-Encoding header handling, and more detailed messages - about it in trace mode. - FM -03-26-96 -* Added code in HTMIME.c for taking into account Content-Encoding headers, - so that compressed text/html or text/plain files are not displayed - inappropriately based on their Content-Type. - FM -* Added "first pass" support for Japanese character translations, based on - patches for Lynx2-4-1 by Takuya Asada (asada@icsd6.tj.chiba-u.ac.jp). Is - to be checked out by Nelson Henry Eric (nelsonhe@ews07.nara.kindai.ac.jp) - because I have no way to check it here. Translations can be made the - default behavior by setting JAPANESE to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or - lynx.cfg. The default can be toggled via a "-jpn" command line switch. - If made TRUE by any means, the value of KANJI_CODE set in userdefs.h - and or lynx.cfg (EUC, SJIS, or NONE) will be applied, and can be changed - via "-euc", "-sjis" or "-ascii" command line switches, for setting Kanji - code translations to EUC, Shift JIS, or disabling it, respectively. Note - that Japanese translations are not yet performed in the line editor - (LYgetstr() of LYStrings.c and form_getstr() of LYForms.c), for form - field values, or for gateways (let's first see if what I've done so far - works right 8-) - FM -* Added "LY" prefix for pop(), pop_num() and push() function names to - avoid possible conflicts with the ncurses library functions, and fixed - continuation line typo in solaris2 make, based on feedback from PN. - FM -03-23-96 -* Tweaks of memory management in the CSO/PH gateway. - FM -* Tweaks of wait() versus waitpid() handling for NeXT, aix4 and mips, - based on feedback from PN. - FM -03-22-96 -* Tweaks of SLANG support for Unix, and finished up code support for it on - VMS (but tested only with OpenVMS/AXP). Haven't yet decided how to add - VMS build support for it in the COM and MMS files. Get the SLANG library - code from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis and then add USE_SLANG in the - DEFINE list and the path to it's headers in the INCLUDE list for the - compilation, and [path]slang.olb/lib in the link list immediately before - the OPT file. We still need the curses library in the OPT file, because - that's not just curses functions on VMS and we're using ones not replaced - by the SLANG library (Try it, you'll like it! 8-). - FM -* Tweaks for NeXT, based on feedback from Paul Nevai - (nevai@ops.mps.ohio-state.edu). - FM -03-20-96 -* Tweaks of code for sorting directory listings by date (take into account - the 6-month-old time versus year rule on Unix). - FM -* Tweaks of memory management for HTList-based buffers (use internal - allocations, instead of the libwww macros). - FM -* Added solaris2-slang to Makefile, and tweaks of the sun4 makes. - LWV -03-19-96 -* Tweak of MAP handling so that the ordered lists are displayed exactly - in the order of the resolved AREA tags. -03-18-96 -* Added SLANG support (for colorized Lynx) based on patches from JED. - The make support is for linux and sun4, but it should be portable to - other Unix flavors. I have it working on VMS, but the SLANG interrupt - and exit handlers are incompatible with the current ones for VMS in - Lynx (and with the VMS debugger), so I haven't yet included SLANG - support in build.com or the MMS files. - FM -03-17-96 -* Tweaks of 'd'ownload menu handling on returns to it from a DOWNLOADER - action. - FM -* Added various anti-crash protections and cleaner code from John E. Davis - (davis@space.mit.edu) for trimming trailing white space and finding - unescaped colons in LYReadCFG.c, and cleaned up and more fully commented - the functions and subfunctions in that and the LYMainLoop.c modules. - FM -03-16-96 -* Fixed routine which sorts directory listings by date (based on 'o'ptions - menu setting) to do it accurately and in reverse chronological order. - FM -03-15-96 -* Added code to create links for likely URLs in results returned by - the CSO/PH and finger gateways. Try: - gopher://ns.bradley.edu:105/2 or: - cso://ns.bradley.edu/ and search for David Henderson. - Also try: - gopher://cegt201.bradley.edu:79/0/w%20davidh or: - finger://cegt201.bradley.edu/w/davidh as URL.s - FM -* Added LYK_INTERRUPT handling for the CSO/PH and finger gateways, and - made their memory management more efficient. - FM -* Made the my_spawn() function in LYLocal.c more portable by using - waitpid() instead of wait(). - FM -* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current position and link - on return from 'e'dit. May be wrong if the file was modified, but it - might be in the right ball park, and nothing really bad will happen if - it's far off. - FM -03-14-96 -* Added -reload switch for instructing Lynx to send "Pragma: no-cache" and - "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers when requesting the startfile from an - http server (doesn't apply to subsequent fetches, or to non-http startfile - URLs). - Peter Ekberg (peda@lysator.liu.se) -* Put the correct LYMain.c, which declares no_change_exec_perms, in the zip - (second try, hope I really did 8-). - FM -03-13-96 -* Yet more tweaks of the CSO/PH gateway. - FM -* Yet more tweaks of the finger gateway. - FM -03-12-96 -* Made the URL and command buffering in the finger gateway secure from stack - modifications, beautified the HTLoadFinger() and response() functions, and - added support for the following URL formats for sending a "", "/w", - "username", or "/w username" command to the finger server: - finger://host finger://@host - finger://host/ finger://@host/ - finger://host/%2fw finger://@host/w - finger://host/w finger://host/w/ - finger://host/username[@host] finger://username@host - finger://host/username[@host]/ finger://username@host/ - finger://host/w/username[@host] finger://username@host/w - finger://host/%2fw%20username[@host] finger://host/username[@host]/w -* Replaced the _tolower macro in the CSO/PH gateway with TOLOWER. - FM -* Tweaks of DIRED_SUPPORT. Added NO_CHANGE_EXECUTE_PERMS compilation - symbol and change_exec_perms restrictions switch for restricting - changes of the eXecute permissions to directories, and not files, - when OK_PERMIT has been set. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca) & FM -* Added make support for Intergraph CLIX (note that some online help files - must be edited and renamed to meet this Unix flavor's 14 character file - name limit). - Alex Matulich (matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil) -03-11-96 -* Added support for using finger://host/w/username to send "/w username" - to finger (port 79) servers. - FM -* Tweaks of alignment handling to deal with (illegally) embedded CENTER - containers (typically due to omission of an end tag for the first - CENTER of the pair; ugh!). - FM -03-10-96 -* Added form-based CSO/PH (port 105) gateway. Can be invoked via a - cso://host[:port]/ or gopher://host[:port]/2 URL. If the gopher - format is used and a query token is appended (?[query]), the old - ISINDEX-based gateway will be used. - FM -03-07-96 -* Added NO_FROM_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -nofrom - command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of From headers - by Lynx. - FM -* Added NO_REFERER_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -noreferer - command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of Referer headers - by Lynx. - FM -* Enhancements of the 'o'ptions menu. - FM -03-06-96 -* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current document position - and link on (^R)eloads. Will be wrong if the document is actually a - changing script output, or SSI with changes in the sizes of inserts, - and any form entries will be lost with no warning about that if no - form links are in the currently displayed page (and there may be other - glitches I don't remember any more). However, it's correct, and more - convenient, most of the time, and nothing really bad will happen if - it's wrong. - FM -03-05-96 -* Added SAVE_SPACE configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and LYNX_SAVE_SPACE - environment variable (Unix) or logical (VMS) for setting a default path - prefix in suggested filenames in Save to Disk operations of the 'p'rint - and 'd'ownload menus. If not set, only a filename will be suggested, - for saving in the current default directory. See the INSTALLATION file - and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM -03-02-96 -* If an IMG tag has both ISMAP and USEMAP attributes, create links for - both, and use the ALT string, if present, for the USEMAP link. The - server-side script might have a content-rich default set up for non-GUI - clients, so we may as well be able to try it, and still have our own - USEMAP listing available if it's a site unconcerned about text and - braille clients, or GUI clients with image loading turned off. - FM -* Tweaks of MAP code to maximize efficiency of fetching and processing - MAPs from a different document. - FM -* Make sure the traversal code doesn't get tripped up by any HREFs - which contain newline characters due to misparsing (e.g., because a - close-double-quote wasn't present where required, and soft_dquotes - wasn't toggled ON, or invalid comments were present, and mimimal or - historical comment parsing weren't toggled ON). - FM -* Renamed LYK_RESUBMIT ('x' or 'X') to LYK_NOCACHE and modified it's code - so that it applies to normal links as well as form submit buttons. If - used instead of LYK_ACTIVATE, any HText cache from a previous submission - or request will be dumped, and the submission or request will be made - with the "Pragma: no-cache" and "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers - included, to ensure that a proxy/cache server also will not return a - cached copy (assuming it respects either of those headers). - FM -03-01-96 -* Converted the client-side image MAP code to a protocol which returns - a stream, rather than using a temporary file. This allows saving - the link as a bookmark, for fetching the MAP and creating a listing - without need to fetch and render the original document. Also enabled - direct downloading of the MAP listing. - FM -02-29-96 -* Added handling of client-side image MAPs. If both USEMAP and ISMAP - attributes are present, the client-side MAP is used instead of the - the server-side script. The MAPs can be in the same or different - documents. The HREFs of the AREA tags are presented as a list, - with their ALTs (if present, otherwise their HREFs) as the link names - in the list. Added a TITLE attribute for MAPs, which will be ignored - by GUI clients, but if present will be used by Lynx as an H1 for the - list (MAP NAME="welcomemap" TITLE="Welcome Map"). Otherwise, the - IMG's ALT (if present, otherwise "[USEMAP]") will be used as an H1 - in the list. The MAP's resolved URL also is shown in the list, since - the URL for the list is a temporary file. - FM -02-25-96 -* Added a MINIMAL_COMMENTS configuration symbol, which if set TRUE in - lynx.cfg will emulate the Netscape v2.0 comment parsing bug of seeking - only a '-->' terminator, and not interpreting '--' pairs as serial - comments within the overall comment element. The compilation default - is FALSE, but we'll set it TRUE in lynx.cfg until Netscape gets its - comment parsing right, and "decorative" dashes in comment elements - cease to be so common in "Enhance for Netscape" pages. Also added - a '-minimal' command line switch for toggling the Mininal or Valid - configuration setting, and an LYK_MINIMAL command key toggle (mapped - by default to backquote). Note that setting Historical comments on - will override the Minimal or Valid setting (i.e., any '>' will be - treated as the terminator of a comment element). A statusline - message indicates whether Historical, Minimal or Valid comment - parsing has gone into effect when the LYK_MINIMAL or LYK_HISTORICAL - command key toggles are used (i.e., those two toggles in effect are - a "troggle"). - FM -02-22-96 -* Tweak of HTList manipulations. - FM -* Additions to the online help. - FM -* Unescape any hex escaped username and/or password in ftp URLs. - FM -02-20-96 -* Handle timeout disconnects of cached NNTP connections. - FM -* Allow head or tail match specifications (e.g., comp.infosystems.* - or *.unix) in news, nntp and snews URLs (That's illegal, so don't - use it in public documents.). - FM -* Tweak of bookmark handling. - Ismael Cordeiro (ismael@CAM.ORG) -02-16-96 -* Tweak of the new code for setting a default CHECKED radio button. - FM -02-15-96 -* Issue a sensible exit message if a non-http URL is used as the startfile - with -traversal. - FM -* Tweaks of bookmark handling. - FM -* Tweaks of Home_Dir() type casting. - FM -02-14-96 Happy Valentine's Day!!! -* Tweaks of charset conversions. - FM -02-12-96 -* Made inclusion of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT the compilation default, and - its refinement easier to understand and set in the Makefile. - Will - Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com) & FM -* Changed (X) and ( ) to [X] and [ ] for indicating checked or unchecked - checkboxes. For radio buttons, we still use (*) and ( ). - FM -02-11-96 -* Distinguish checkboxes from radio buttons in the Lynx display by using - (X) versus (*), respectively, when they are checked or selected. - FM -* Make the first radio button in a series with the same NAME checked by - default if none of them had CHECKED specified. - FM -02-09-96 -* Added LYK_HISTORICAL and LYK_SOFT_DQUOTES, mapped by default to the - the single- and double-quote keys, respectively, for toggling valid - versus "historical" comment parsing, and valid versus "old Mosaic- - and Netscape-like" double-quote parsing. - FM -* Added SCRIPT to the DTD and code to ensure that bad comments in its - content don't generate garbage in the display. - FM -* Added -DSVR4 to the make for solaris2. - KH -* Use copy instead of rename in descrip.mms for putting lynx.exe in the - top directory, as in build.com. - FM -* Added TITLE attribute to FORM, and code to use it for the Subject in - mailto ACTIONs. It's not in the spec, but better to offer it than - to settle into Netscape's ?subject=foo tack-on kludge which breaks - mailto for clients which haven't added code to cope with it. - FM -02-08-96 -* Added -book switch for using the bookmark page as the startfile. The - default or command line startfile will still be set for the 'm'ain screen - command, and be used as the startfile if the bookmark page is unavailable - or blank. - FM -* Fixed glitch for Unix in yesterday's LYMail.c mods. - FM -* Try graceful alternatives if getenv("HOME") returns NULL. - Kenneth Herron - (kherron@campus.mci.net) & FM -02-07-96 -* Added support for the ?subject=foo tack-on kludge to specify the Subject - in mailto ACTIONs and HREFs. - FM -* Convert Explorer's semi-colon Internet address separators to commas - before acting on mailto address lists on Unix or VMS. - FM -* Made EMBED empty again (the W3C container version has been replaced - by INSERT, and Netscape still has it empty). - FM -02-06-96 -* Tweaks of descrip.mms files for VMS. - FM -02-04-96 -* Fixed caching of news/nntp connections so that we access the correct host - when more than one has been specified. - FM -02-03-96 -* Added ndash and mdash to the entities conversion tables. The W3C's - DTD specifies those, whereas the text descriptions say endash and - emdash, so we'll cover all the bases by supporting all four. - FM -* Reduced the "en" metric for TAB to 2 per column. Was 12, to be - compatible with UdiWWW, but that's pixels. You can change the enval - initialization in HTML.c from 2 to 12 if you want the old behavior. - FM -* Force use of DECC in build.com if that compiler is installed on VMS, - and make sure external logicals don't defeat a choice of DECC via - descrip.mms. - FM -02-02-96 -* Mods to handle lone CRs as newlines when dislaying text/plain files - from MAC servers. Note that they'll stay CRs when downloading, or - fetching with -source, but be handled as newlines when the '\' source - toggle is used for text/html files and their source is displayed as - text/plain. - FM -01-31-96 -* Added dummy initializers in LYCharSets.c and LYEditmap.c to ensure the - modules are linked if the external model is common block and they are - placed in a library. - FM -01-30-96 -* For submissions of forms with a mailto ACTION, allow the user to edit - the default Subject string (the TITLE of the document containing the - form) via a statusline prompt, or to cancel the submission via Ctrl-G - at the prompt, analogously to 'c'omments or for anchors with a mailto - HREF. - FM -01-29-96 -* Typo fixes in HTML.c, LYJump.c and LYGetFile.c. - PM -01-28-96 -* Tweaks of redirection handling. - FM -01-27-96 -* Support use of the TITLE attribute for setting the Subject in LINKs with - REV="made" or REV="owner" and a mailto HREF, equivalently to its use - with anchors in the BODY. - FM -* Always use the parent document's URL for X-URL in mailto anchors, but - still use mailto:address if it was entered as a 'g'oto. - FM -* Improvements of the code in LYMainLoop.c for checking the types of - links (first make sure that there are links to check 8-). - FM -01-26-96 -* Made LYCharSets.c an object module instead of header for HTML.c, and - created LYCharUtils.c with character-related functions from HTML.c, - to reduce the size of HTML.c (got a report of memory exhaustion when - trying to compile HTML.c). - FM -* Added BGSOUND to the DTD and code for creating a link to the source - when clickable_images is set. - FM -01-24-96 -* Tweak of URL resolving when http servers return the obsolete file URL - format for what are actually ftp URLs (as DEC's servers are doing). - FM -* Added LYE_LOWER and LYE_UPPER for lower or upper casing lines with the - line editor. Default bindings are Ctrl-K and Ctrl-T, respectively (not - "intuitive" but they're the only "safe" non-printing keys left 8-). - FM -01-23-96 -* Yet more tweaks aimed at getting Lynx to compile across versions of - MultiNet through v3.5A and DECC through v5.2 or VAXC. Pat Rankin - is trying to cope with this mess for compilations with MultiNet and - his VMS port of GNUC (cross your fingers 8-). - FM -* Updates of the help and about files. - FM -* Tweak of sendmail path for BSDI. - Bennett Todd (bet@ritz.mordor.com) -01-22-96 -* More tweaks for dealing with header conflicts in MultiNet v3.5A with - DECC v5.2. - FM -* Tweak of our kludge to append a 0,0 coordinate pair for ISMAP URLs. - FM -* Tweaks of base handling in HTML.c. - FM -01-20-96 -* Mods for builds with NetBSD, or MultiNet v3.5A with DECC v5.2 (they - have conficting headers). FM & PR -01-18-96 -* Improved and corrected the fatal error messages. - FM -01-17-96 -* Added ability to set the NNTPSERVER environment variable via lynx.cfg if - it has not been set externally (analogously to the proxy variables). - FM -* Tweaks of proxy handling. - FM -* Modifed the "Accept-Language: " header handling so that is uses the - "perferred document lang(G)uage" string without any modifications. - This allows the user to specify a comma-separated string with quality - values included, exactly to his/her requirements. - FM -01-16-96 -* Modified the traversal code so that it always outputs to an error file if - requests fail or unknown statuses are received from the http server. - FM -* Added target "sun4-ncurses" to the Makefile. - Bennett E. Todd - (bet@nyc.fcmc.com) -* Tweaks of "preferred document lan(G)uage" and "preferred document c(H)arset" - 'o'ptions handling. Send only the preferrence or comma-separated list of - preferrences in the "Accept-Language: " and "Accept-Charset: " headers. - Append ", en" if "en" isn't present, and ", ISO-8859-1" and/or ", US-ASCII" - if those aren't present, rather than relying on servers to honor defaults, - but still don't send an "Accept-Charset: " header at all if no preference - has been specified by the user. - FM -* Fixed typos in the about and help files. - FM -01-15-96 -* Tweaks of bold and underline setting in split_line() of GritText.c. - FM -* Fixed handling of FORM start tags with no ACTION specified. - FM -* Tweaks of "IBM PC character set" and added "IBM PC codepage 850" - (ISO8859-1, see IBMPC-charsets.announce). - Mike Brown (mike@hyperreal.com) -* Check in userdefs.h whether LYNX_CGF_FILE has been defined via the - Makefile, build.com or descrip.mms. - PG -* Created CHANGES2-3 with changes through release of Lynx2-3 on 04-19-94, - and CHANGES2-4 with subsequent changes through the rename of lynx2-3-FM - to Lynx2-4 and its release on 06-18-95, and deleted those sections from - this file. - FM -* Added the new Copyright and links to it in about_lynx.html. - FM -01-11-96 -* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c for compatibility across versions of FreeWAIS. - FM -* Unescape any hex escaped percents in mailto URLs and ACTIONs. - FM -01-10-96 -* Added an LYCheckForProxyURL() function, and a PROXY_URL_TYPE return value - for is_url(), so that Lynx can proxy URLs with an unknown scheme if a - proxy for the scheme has been set, e.g., if "foo_proxy" has been set - to "http://host/", then "foo:blah", where "blah" may or may not begin - with a slash, will be handled as "http://host/foo:blah". Components of - "blah" will be checked versus "no_proxy", if set, but since we don't - know the default port for scheme "foo", the checks for any ports - associated with the no_proxy values may not be reliable (but if we - don't proxy, nor know the scheme, nor find "foo:blah" as a local file, - the URL would fail, anyway) - FM -* Fixed typo in VMSPrint.com. - Paul Farnham (farnham@pasco.wednet.edu) -01-06-96 -* Tweak of traversal code. - FM -01-04-96 -* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ -01-03-96 -* Added circular recall buffers for JUMP shortcuts. If multiple jumps - files are installed, each has it's own recall buffer. If Lynx was built - with PERMIT_GOTO_FROM_JUMP defined, any random URLs accessed via the JUMP - command are placed in the goto circular buffer, not that for shortcuts, - and a JUMP entry of the single character ':' for the target is treated - as a command to invoke the circular buffer of previously resolved goto - URLs (as if 'g'oto followed by Up-Arrow were used). - FM -* Added GOTOBUFFER, homologous to JUMPBUFFER, for specifying via userdefs.h - and/or lynx.cfg whether to offer the previous goto URL, if any, for - reuse or editing whenever the 'g'oto command is entered, or simply rely - on invoking the circular buffer via the Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow keys for - accessing previously resolved goto URLs. - FM -* Tweak of 'g'oto recall buffering loop in LYMainLoop.c. - AH -01-02-96 -* Added circular recall buffering for 'g'oto URLs. Is invoked (if previous - URLs have been entered) via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow after entering the - 'g'oto command. - FM -* Added circular recall buffering for WHEREIS queries. Buffer is shared with - that for ISINDEX queries, and invoked via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow following - the WHEREIS ('/') command. The 'n'ext command still uses the last WHEREIS - query, not necessarily the last entry in the recall buffer, which might - have been entered via a 's'earch command for an ISINDEX document. - FM -* Extended treatment of FORMs which have only one INPUT (TYPE="text") field - for user entries as SUBMITting on press of RETURN in that field, so that - this behavior is retained if INPUT TYPE="hidden" fields are present. - FM -* Tweaks of bookmark deletion sanity checks. - DT -01-01-96 (Happy New Year!!!!) -* Added circular recall buffer for ISINDEX queries. Up-Arrow will cylce - you from the most current query in the list to previous ones, and roll - from the oldest to the most current. Down-Arrow will cycle from the - oldest query to subsequent ones, and roll from the most current to the - oldest. If a previous query is reused, it is removed from the recall - buffer and reinserted as the most current.- FM -* Plugged memory leaks in LYUtils.c and LYJump.c. - FM -12-30-95 -* Added LOCALHOST_ALIAS symbols for lynx.cfg which can be set to local - host aliases or to trusted hosts at other sites which will be accepted - as "local" when the -localhost switch is set. - FM -* Added the endash and emdash entities. - FM -12-29-95 -* Use exit(0) versus exit(-1) more consistently for normal versus abnormal - exits, respectively. - FM -12-26-95 -* Tweak of RELOAD handling for lynxcgi URLs. - FM -* More anti-crash protections for bad HTML. - FM -* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ -12-23-95 -* Tweaks of directory building on VMS. - FM -* Tweaks of log file declarations for direct wais builds. - FM -* Tweak of DIRED_SUPPORT mods so that non-TAG entries don't show up when - there are tagged files. - DT -12-22-95 -* Added HTMake_VMS_name() to HTFTP.c for use by Unix as well as VMS with - VMS ftp servers. - FM -* Added INSERT and ALIAS to the DTD, updated PARAM and OVERLAY, and made - FIG a paragraphing block, all as described in the 12-21-95 W3C working - draft for INSERT. In contrast to FIG, the INSERT and "heritage" EMBED - and APPLET elements invoke paragraphing only if their content displayed - by Lynx dictates it. The rules for resolving the sources for INSERTs or - for handling its ISMAP attribute are extremely complicated, and are not - implemented. Let's wait to see how people in the "real world" try to - make sense of them and actually use INSERT (if they do 8-). We still - create source links in "clickable_image" mode for the "heritage" versions - of FIG, OVERLAY, EMBED and APPLET markup, and send a 0,0 cooridinate pair - for IMG with the ISMAP attribute. See comments in HTML.c - FM -12-21-95 -* Fixed bug in yesterday's ftp password-handling mods that could cause a - crash, and handle ftp://user:@host/path as specified in RFC 1738. - FM -* Added protection against crashes for SELECT tags without the (required) - NAME attribute. - FM -* Added code in HTFTP.c for recognizing MS Windows (Chameleon NEWT) servers - and parsing their LIST output (tested on ftp://emoryi.jpl.nasa.gov/) - FM -* Another typo fix for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM -* Modified HTFTP.c to use personal_mail_address, if available, for the - password with anoymous FTP. It will still use "user@" (trim off the - host) if the host does not contain a dot and thus could not be a fully - qualified domain name, so it will work with Unix servers such as - ftp.uu.net (see get_connection() in HTFTP.c), but this will cause it - to fail with MS Windows servers. - FM -* Added lots more info to the trace output for the ftp gateway. - FM -12-20-95 -* Modified HTFTP.c to handle a hex escaped slash (%2F) following the - "punctuation" slash according to the strict provisions of RFC 1738 - when connected to VMS ftp servers, so that a device can be in the - path and not be mishandled as a subdirectory, e.g., the URL - ftp://user:password@host/%2Fsys$common/syshlp - will create a directory listing for sys$common:[syshlp]. - FM -* Fixed typo for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM -12-19-95 -* Enhancements of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT (see header of LYLocal.c). - DT -12-18-95 -* Tweaks of element and entity structure alignments. - FM -12-17-95 -* Tweaks of APPLET CODEBASE attribute resolving. - FM -* Added support for a -nosocks command line switch to turn off SOCKS proxy - usage if Lynx was SOCKSified. - Thomas Zerucha (tz@execpc.com) -12-16-95 -* Added the APPLET element and attributes to the DTD, and code for - creating links to the Applet code via image_links - FM -* Added code to handle password fields in telnet URLs. - FM -* Expanded EMBED as an "attribute soup" (for compatibility with - old versions of Netscape). - FM -12-15-95 -* Added PARAM, and its attributes in the W3C draft for EMBED, to the DTD, - and code in HTML.c to minimize the possiblity of an INPUT belonging to - an EMBED being misassociated with a standard FORM container. - FM -* Added "first pass" EMBED handling. Should be OK with both the W3C - container version and the Netscape "attribute soup" version (we'll - see 8-). The clickable_image switch and toggle ('*') are now misnomers. - They will cause creation of links to the EMBED SRCs whether they are - images or not. - FM -* Enhancements of Unix uploading (see header of LYUpload.c). - GL -12-14-95 -* Modified LYUnEscapeEntities() and LYExpandString() in HTML.c to make - it more likely that they'll be handled correctly across flavors of - compilers. - FM -* Changed NETSCAPE_QUOTES and -netscape_quotes to SOFT_DQUOTES and - -soft_dquotes. - FM -* Added '&' to the exclusion list for VMS suggested file names. - FM -12-13-95 -* Added CAN_ANONYMOUS_GOTO_TELNET_PORT symbol which if set TRUE in - userdefs.h will allow anonymous users to specify a port in 'g'oto - commands for telnet URLs. - FM -* Added NETSCAPE_QUOTES symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause - Lynx to emulate the Netscape bug of treating '>' as a co-terminator - of a double-quoted attribute value and the tag which contains it. - FM -* Forgot to define FORM_LINK_RESUBMIT_MESSAGE in the distribution's - userdefs.h for yesterday's mods. - FM -* Forgot to put the HTFile.c with the LIST_FORMAT mods into the - distribution (maybe I should just concentrate on Christmas 8-). - FM -12-12-95 -* Changed handling of the no-cache META directive so that it applies to - the document which contains the META tag, rather than to any form submit - buttons within it. The form's CGI script should return a stream which - contains the directive to force resubmissions, and any (e.g., ISINDEX) - script or (e.g., foo.shtml) document can include the directive to - force reloading by Lynx. - FM -* Added ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_FORMS symbol in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for setting - forced resubmissions of forms, and a -resubmit_forms command line switch - for toggling the default. - FM -12-11-95 -* Moved values of LYStrings.h function key definitions from 0x80 - 0x8D to - 0x100 - 0x10D and modified all the structures and functions in LYKeymap.c - and LYEditmap.c accordingly. - FM -* Added the KOI8-R (Russian) character set. - Andrey A. Chernov - (ache@astral.msk.su). -* Replace gets() with fgets() for the Unix setup() in LYCurses.c - AAC -* Tweaks for building with FreeBSD. - AAC & FM -* Added handling of META directives for ISO-8859-2 and KOI8-R if the - document is text/html and a server header didn't already set the - charset. - AAC & FM -12-10-95 -* Tweaks of memory management. - FM -* Made the LONG_LIST parameters for Unix local directory listings - configurable via userdefs.h and lynx.cfg - DT -12-09-95 -* Added code for re-computing and retaining the current link if it is still - on the page when using the LYK_UP_TWO and LYK_DOWN_TWO commands. - FM -* Added support for nested emphasis tags (they're all still displayed as - HT_UNDERLINE, but no longer terminated prematurely). - FM -12-08-95 -* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM -* Tweak of META attribute definitions. - FM -12-06-95 -* Don't reject LYNXKEYMAP and lynxcgi URLs with the -localhost switch. - FM -12-05-95 -* Made the loaded_texts list in GridText.c functionally "circular", so - that returning to a cached document causes it to be treated as the most - current, and dumps of cache, when necessary to load a new document, are - done for the least recently viewed rather than least recently fetched - document. - FM -* Show the METHOD and ACTION in showinfo() of LYShowInfo.c if invoked when - the cursor is positioned on a submit button. - FM -* If the user mode is advanced, keep showing the URL in the statusline - when Lynx is in forms mode but the link is not a form field. - FM -12-03-95 -* Tweaks of code for submissions of forms with only a single INPUT - (TYPE="text") field. - FM -12-02-95 -* Treat any META directives with a NAME or HTTP-EQUIV value of "Pragma" - or "Cache-Control" and a CONTROL value of "no-cache" as an instruction - always to resubmit any form(s) in the document. - FM -* Added parsing of META directives. Functions can be added where indicated - in HTML.c. - FM -* Include the HTTP/1.1 "Cache-Control: no-cache" header together with the - HTTP/1.0 "Pragma: no-cache" header for reload or resubmit requests. - FM -* Fixed bug in the check for an all-space ALT in IMG when creating a - link for its SRC. - FM -* Fixed parsing of square-bracketted DOCTYPE fields. - FM -12-01-95 -* Improvments of logic for indentations within lists. - FM -11-30-95 -* For resiliency, treat upper case letters as equivalent to lower case in - scheme names (e.g., allow "HTTP" as well as "http"), by converting them - to the appropriate case before entering them into the anchor hash table - or otherwise acting on them. - FM -* Added ability to change the default reply to the "really quit" prompt - from "[Y]" to "[N]" via a compilation symbol in userdefs.h. - DT -11-29-95 -* Added ALIGN attribute for HR (default is "center"). - FM -11-28-95 -* If a form has a single field, and it's INPUT TYPE="text", treat - RETURN as a submit command for it. - FM -* Added START as a synonym for the SEQNUM attribute in OL. - FM -11-27-95 -* Enhancements of the wais gateway. - FM -11-26-95 -* Fixed up HREF, ACTION and SRC resolving to be conformant with RFC 1808 - (except that we don't yet support a ";params" field). - FM -11-25-95 -* Tweaks of yesterday's jumps file mods. - FM -11-24-95 -* Enhancements of 'J'umps file handling, including ability to install - multiple jumps files mapped to different keys and associated with - different statusline prompts and recall buffers. - DT & FM -* Deal with ALTs that have only spaces when in clickable_image mode. - FM -* Worked in WM's mods to make the REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM workaround - a configuration option via ENABLE_SCROLLBACK in lynx.cfg and a command - line toggle (-enable_scrollback), for use with comm programs which have - screen display buffers that can be accessed for review independently - of the Lynx commands (see comments in lynx.cfg). - FM -11-23-95 -* Use the BASE, if present, instead of the original document URL, as the - default ACTION for forms. - FM -* Tweaks of paragraph alignment handling. - FM -* Make sure we don't realloc() a NULL env pointer in LYCgi.c. - DT -* Cancel bookmark deletion if the line does not have a complete link or if - there is more than one link on the line. - DT -11-21-95 -* Fixed bad logic in the setting of bold and/or underline starting points - in new lines created via split_line() of GridText.c. - FM -* Added case KEY_BACKSPACE in LYgetch() of LYStrings.c. - GL -11-19-95 -* Fixed problem of SELECT causing all immediately following white space - to be ignored. - FM -* More tweaks of paragraphing, and handling of labeled blocks within - PRE blocks. - FM -11-18-95 -* Added INFOSECS, MESSAGESECS and ALERTSECS symbols in userdefs.h and - lynx.cfg for setting the durations of statusline pauses (important when - using Lynx with a braille-based access). See comments in userdefs.h and - lynx.cfg for more information. - FM -* More tweaks of paragraph handling. - FM -* Include the Reference lists is crawl output files if the -number_links - switch was included and the -nolist switch wasn't. - FM -11-17-95 -* Tweaks of finger and telnet gateways. - FM -* Added handling of MARQUEE equivalently to BANNER. - FM -* Various tweaks of 8-bit character and related HTML handling (OLs - or ULs without attributes or some wrong combinations were crashing - Lynx). - FM -11-16-95 -* Implemented the ID attribute for TAB, and the TO and INDENT attributes - when its ALIGN attribute is "left" (the default) and the style's - alignment is HT_LEFT (the default). If these conditions don't apply, - or if the TAB target is outside the current margins or would overlap - prior text, a collapsible space is inserted instead of TABing. The - INDENT values are in "en" units, treated as 12 per column. Added - tabtest.html in the test subdirectory to illustrate TABing. - FM -11-15-95 -* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for SPOT, and fully - implemented it (use SPOT ID="foo" as SGML_EMPTY instead of named anchors - with no content). - FM -* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for TAB. For now, it - simply puts a collapsible space in the text stream if the TO attribute - is present. - FM -* Added the top-level HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for MATH, and - implemented it's ID attribute. The markup is captured as HTML_LITTERAL, - and until we have a processor, is output as is, in brackets to alert the - user about the situation. - FM -11-14-95 -* Tweaks of LYK_UP_LINK and LYK_DOWN_LINK handling, and added them to the - default mapping as '<' and '>'. - FM -* Tweaks of LYK_TOOLBAR handling. - FM -11-13-95 -* Added LYK_TOOLBAR (mapped by default to '#') for jumping up to the pseudo - Toolbar or Banner if present in the current document. Using '#' instead - of Home to jump there allows you to Left-Arrow back to where you were in - the current document. Set up a BANNER in about_lynx-dev.html to serve - as an example of this feature. - FM -* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for BANNER, implemented - its ID attribute, and set it up to act as a pseudo Toolbar if one hasn't - been set up already via REL attributes of LINKs. - FM -* Tweaks of paragraphing for CAPTION, CREDIT, FOOTNOTE, and NOTE. - FM -11-12-95 -* Handle (i.e., ignore) any P that immediately follows an LI, DT or DD. - FM -* Cancel any file fetch and viewer spawn or launch during traverals. - FM -11-11-95 -* Added finger gateway (finger://host[/request]) based on patches from - Martin Hamilton (martin@mrrl.lut.ac.uk). - FM -* Added LYE_TAB for mapping keys to act as LYE_ENTER, but return '\t' so - that the behavior of TAB is emulated in TEXTAREAs, and mapped Do to - LYE_TAB in the default binding. - FM -* Fixed glitch in handling of DEC extended characters which contain two - digits (affected Do and Find). - FM -* Better documented that disabling access to hidden (dot) files also - disables ability to create such files via Lynx. - FM -11-10-95 -* Added handling of mailto as a form ACTION. See http://www.q-d.com/swc.htm - for software to extract and unescape the mailed content. - FM -* Added lynxprog URL handling, which is identical to lynxexec URL handling - except that the user is not prompted to enter RETURN before returning - to Lynx. Use lynxprog for scripts or programs such as mail which do not - need an enforced pause to let the user read the screen output. - FM -* Removed code in HTFile.c for treating ',' as a synomym of '.' for - hidden files (nobody seems to know why that was being done 8-). - FM -* Moved inclusions from LYBookmark to tcp.h. - FM -11-08-95 -* Extend optional hidden (dot) file/directory support to Unix, and embellished - it on VMS and Unix with regulation via a command line switch and 'o'ptions - menu setting. See userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - GL & FM -* Added support on Unix for straight tar files and a compile time option that - disables the ability to extract files from an archive file (since there is - no control over the files extracted). - GL -11-07-95 -* More tweaks of 8-bit character handling. - FM -* Added "Macintosh (8 bit)" character set. - Neil K. Guy - (nkg@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca) -* Added "Example Lynx Optimized User Home Page" to the online 'h'elp. - FM -11-05-95 -* Fixed Cc: header handling for email on Unix. - FM -11-04-95 -* Reference the current character set for any raw 8-bit characters in - text/plain streams (but don't translate named or decimal escaped - entities, since that's specific for text/html). - FM -* Block any illegal control or escape characters in text/plain streams, - to avoid problems if a binary ftp or local file was mistyped and sent - to the screen as that Content-type. - FM -* Eliminated mod in SGML.c which emulated Netscape's bug of treating '>' - as both a close-double-quote and close-tag (Netscape v2.0 fixed its - bug, so hopefully the bad HTML with it will go away. 8-). - FM -11-02-95 -* Assume an ISO-8859-1 character set for all local files. If it's - actually ISO-8859-2 and the terminal is using that, set the Lynx - CharSet option to "ISO Latin 1" so that 8-bit characters will be - sent raw to the terminal. - FM -* Added Martin Ramsch's iso8859-1.html to the test subdirectory. - Use it to complete the conversion tables in LYCharSets.c. - FM -* Don't block insertion of a lead space for INPUTs in PRE blocks, so - alignments will be compatible with those of graphic clients. - FM -* Don't block all access to the 'p'rint menu for the print restriction - (should still offer printer options which have the TRUE flag set; - all access is still blocked for -validate). - FM -* Replaced the STDfoo_FILENO symbols in LYCgi.c with the more portable - fileno(stdfoo). - WM -* Added NCURSESINCDIR compilation symbol for setting the path to the - NCURSES header file in LYCurses.h to that of the latest version. - GL -* Tweaks of interrupt handling on VMS. -10-31-95 -* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM -* Mods in LYCgi.c which hopefully makes the code more portable across - Unix flavors. - FM -10-28-95 -* Tweaks of global flag initializations and resets in HTML.c. - FM -* Added RESOLVLIB symbol in the top Makefile for including -lresolv - in the LIBS= list, if needed, for SUN 3 or 4 OS, and comments about - that in the Makefile, and INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS files based on an - explanation from Will Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com). - FM -10-27-95 -* Mods of top level Makefile: Added NOPORT compilation symbol for forcing - use of PASV in ftp URLs. Added NO_S_IFSOCK compilation symbol for Unix - flavors which lack an S_IFSOCK definition for lstat(). - FM -* Reload the current document whenever the character set is changed. - FM -* Don't reference entities for raw (or decimal escaped) 8-bit characters - if the document is not text/html, or for any local files if the charset - is Latin. - FM -* Made Ctrl-H a synonym for DELETE instead of Left-Arrow in the line - editor. - FM -10-25-95 -* Handle all characters in strings for the new line editor as unsigned - so they don't go negative if 8-bit. - DW -* Restored proper handling of the MAXLENGTH attribute in INPUTs for - strings entered with the new line editor. - FM -10-24-95 -* Deal with all non-printing characters when setting up the SELECT - pop-up window strings. - FM -* Handle raw 8-bit characters via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named - entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected - character set. - FM -* Yet more tweaks of non-breaking space handling. - FM -10-22-95 -* Improved treatment of the startpage URL with -traversal so that it only - blocks traversals of links on other servers. Any links on the same - http server which shouldn't be traversed may be blocked via explicit - and/or wildcarded entries in REJECT.DAT. Updated CRAWL.announce to - make this more clear. - FM -* Typo fixes in top-level Makefile. - Steve Jeske (jeske@pa.dec.com) -10-21-95 -* Handle decimal escaped entities via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named - entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected - character set. - FM -10-20-95 -* Tweaks of formatting for LONG_LIST directory lists and README file - inclusions in HTFile.c and HTVMSUtils.c. - FM -* Tweaks of decimal escaped non-breaking space handling in HTML.c. - FM -* Force unescaping of hidden VALUEs for INPUTs as ISO-LATIN1. - FM -* Added ".shtml" and ".htmlx" as text/html extensions in HTInit.c. - FM -10-18-95 -* Made parsing of the name and address out of the NNTP From: header more - reliable in HTNews.c. - FM -* Added "LYNX_TEMP_SPACE" environment variable (Unix) or VMS logical, - which if present at run time will be used instead of the the TEMP_SPACE - definition in userdefs.h as the path prefix for temporary files. - FM -10-17-95 -* Added TYPE attritute for OL, and coordinated it with the SEQNUM and - CONTINUE attributes. The default TYPE is "1" (Arabic numbers), and - SEQNUM values for it can range from -29997 to the system's maximum - integer. The Alphabetic TYPEs are "A" (upper case) and "a" (lower - case), and can range from 1 (" A." or " a.") to 18278 ("ZZZ." or - "zzz."). The Roman TYPES are "I" (upper case) and "i" (lower case), - and can range from 1 (" I." or " i.") to 3000 ("MMM." or "mmm."). - SEQNUM values should always be Arabic, and will be converted to - other types (e.g., SEQNUM="27" TYPE="a" will yield "aa." for the - next LI). The CONTINUE attribute will cause the sequence and TYPE - of the preceding OL to be continued for LIs in the current OL. - FM -10-16-95 -* Treat a value of "*" for "no_proxy" as a global override of any - existing proxy variables. - FM -10-15-95 -* Deal with raw or decimal escaped non-breaking space characters in - SGML_character() of SGML.c and LYUnEscapeEntities() of HTML.c. - FM -10-14-95 -* Updated info about lynx-dev in lynx.man and lynx.hlp. - FM -* Don't force LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED in dumps if -nolist was included. - FM -* Output the References list for dumps with OL-style numbering. - FM -* More tweaks of "anti-spoof" handling for telnet URLs. - FM -10-13-95 -* Block direct access to the telnet prompt for telnet URLs entered without - a host field. - FM -* Include the TRUSTED flag in spawns for OpenVMS/AXP v6.1 or greater. - FM -10-12-95 -* Convert any strings in news articles that look like URLs into links. - FM -* Use the Followup header in news articles, if present, for followups. - Otherwise, use the Newsgroups header. - FM -* Ignore any invalid ISO 646 7-bit control characters or ISO 8859 8-bit - control characters in SGML_character() of SGML.c. - FM -10-11-95 -* Typo fix in HTTCP.c for non-MULTINET VMS builds. - Gary Chow (garyc@mrs.com) -10-09-95 -* Assume the root as path in HTParse() of HTParse.c if the access and host - but no path are given, and the access is http, https, or ftp. - FM -10-05-95 -* Make sure the FREE(x) macro gets defined for HTTCP.c. - FM -10-04-95 -* Mods in HTTCP.c to prevent string buffer overruns. - FM -* Prevent possible string buffer underrun for terminal white space trims - in GridText.c. - Renato Buda (renato@peoplebank.co.uk) -10-01-95 -* Updated the listserv and archive addresses in the about and help files. - FM -09-30-95 -* Added support for Windows_NT FTP servers. - FM -* Added ability to send a self copy of mail via a Cc: header on Unix - (sending of self copies is set via the mail software itself on VMS). - FM -* Tweaks of SOCKET_ERRNO handling in HTTCP.C. - FM -* Include unistd.h more consistently on Unix (via tcp.h) if NO_UNISTD_H - is not defined. - FM -* Modified the FreeBSD and NetBSD libwww Makefiles to use the - CommonMakefile. - FM -* Makefile addition (snake3) for the HP-UX purchased compiler. - Andy - Finkenstadt (genie@panix.com) -09-29-95 -* Deal with HTAlert.c function calls to LYgetstr(), e.g., for a password, - when doing a -dump or -source non-interactive fetch. - FM -* Output HTAlert() messages to both stderr and stdout in TRACE mode. - FM -09-28-95 -* Added a description of the line editor's default key bindings to the - help file set. - FM -* Tweaks of the line editor. - FM -* Declare DCLspawn_exception() in LYCurses.c as unsigned int only for - DECC (otherwise as int, for VAXC and GNUC). - FM -09-27-95 -* Added common line editor for forms and prompted queries, with configurable - line editor key bindings. See LYStrings.h and LYEditmap.c for the default - configuration. - DW & FM -* Tweaks of build.com's symbol assignments when in batch mode. - MM -09-22-95 -* Added ISO-8859-2 CharSet, and mods for Accept-Charsets handling based - on patches from Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si). - FM -09-19-95 -* Tweaks of OL attribute handling. Allow negative SEQNUM values. Keep - better track of CONTINUE versus non-CONTINUE OL sequences within nests. - Allow CONTINUE in the first OL of a new nest, set to the last LI count - of the previous nest (at any depth in that previous nest). - FM -09-17-95 -* Tweak of LYUnEscapeEntities() in HTML.c. - DW & FM -* Another tweak of groupid handling in LYShowInfo.c. - DW -* More fixes of 7-bit character approximations. - DW -* More help and about file tweaks. - DSL -09-16-95 -* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for DIV, and implemented - its ALIGN and ID attributes. I think I have it behaving rationally if it - is used together with CENTER, LEFT and/or RIGHT (Though they're all treated - as DIVs by Lynx, and shouldn't be embedded in each other, somebody will do - that anyway!. 8-). - FM -* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for FN (Footnote). It - should be handled as a popup window, but for now, it's implemented as a - labelled block and has the same style and behavior as a NOTE with an ID - attribute. - FM -* Some compilers can't handle the continuation line in yesterday's - LYCurses.h. Made it one long line. - FM -09-16-95 -* Further enhanced the online help and about files. - FM -* Added -DNO_FILIO_H to Makefile for SCO. - FM -* Worked in stuff from 14-Sep-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. - FM: --------------------------------------------------------- - 09-06-95 - * Added patch to compile Lynx on BSDI with Ncurses package. -RK - 09-06-95 - * Ported Lynx to DG-UX. - RK --------------------------------------------------------- -09-12-95 -* Further modified HTNews.c so that it returns unmodified news messages - when the display is toggled to source ('\') or when downloading them, - so uuencoded messages always can be saved without corruption, and so - I also changed the SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS compilation default to - TRUE. - FM -* Simplified a compound if() in HTParse.c which may have been giving the - AIX v4.1 compiler a headache. - FM -09-11-95 -* Eliminated distinct style sheets for CAPTION and CREDIT so their content - will inherit the current style, and added HTML_EnsureDoubleSpace() and - HTML_ResetParagraphAlignment() in HTML.c for coping with the absence of - distinct style sheets for those elements, and for FIG. -09-10-95 -* Added SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, with - a compilation default of FALSE, and a -buried_news switch for toggling - the default. When TRUE, Lynx scans the bodies of news articles for - references and converts them to news links, but creates false news - links if any email addresses are enclosed in angle brackets, and can - trash uuencoded messages. - FM -* Eliminated distinct style sheet for FIG so its content will inherit the - current style and display appropriately within lists. Should be OK if - people use valid HTML 3.0 in it's content for non-graphic clients. - FM -* Added links for the W3C HTML 2.0 and 3.0 specifications and for the - HAL HTML validation service to the Lynx help file set. -* Made the BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS compilation symbols FALSE by default. Most - documents now include emphasis tags for NAME (ID) anchors if it's desired, - because the most common graphic clients don't emphasize them by default, - so we should adjust to that in Lynx as well (IMHO 8-). Added emphasis - tags for the NAME anchors in the Lynx help files. - FM -* Eliminated forced uppercasing of H1 headers. Most documents have mixed - casing and we should preserve it (IMHO 8-). Added a BOLD_H1 configuration - symbol, set FALSE by default, for making H1 headers bold even if BOLD_HEADERS - is FALSE. Modify the two configuration symbols in lynx.cfg for the pattern - or header emphasis which pleases you. - FM -* Tweak of list paragraphing. Added HText_PeviousLineSize() in GridText.c - for determining if the previous line had only non-printing characters. - FM -09-09-95 -* Impelemented true paragraphing and the P ALIGN attribute within lists (UL, - OL and DL blocks) and within ADDRESS blocks. Paragraphs within lists have - one blank line inserted. Within ADDRESS blocks, a newline will be created - if needed, but no blank lines are inserted. Use BR, not P, to force extra - newlines within blocks. Do not place a P immediately following the LI or - DD tags. Alignments of P blocks are done with respect to the "second line" - margins of LI or DD elements. - FM -09-08-95 -* Convert '~' to getenv("HOME") in file URLs whether or not DIRED_SUPPORT - is defined. - FM -* Tweak of TR and more tweaks of HR handling. Added HText_LastLineSize() - and HText_TrueLineSize() functions in GridText.c for determining if - lines have only non-printing characters in decisions on whether to - insert additional newlines. - FM -09-07-95 -* Act on Page-Up, Page-Down, Home, End, Find and Select in the form_getstr() - editor (hoping they have their default mappings 8-). Also act on Remove - and Control-D as delete keys in that line editor (as in the LYgetstr() - line editor). - FM -* Tweak of HR handling. - FM -* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary printer files. - FM -* More fixes for NeXT. Temporary files for VIEWER, DOWNLOADER or PRINTER - commands on NeXT all have the ".html" default suffix replaced with ones - indicative of the Content-type. - FM -09-06-95 -* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary viewer or downloader - files. - FM -* Fixes for NeXT. - FM -09-05-95 -* Enabled the -help switch when no configuration file is available and - Lynx would otherwise exit (i.e., it now outputs the help message before - it exits). - FM -* Documented the -child switch. - FM -* Fixed and documented the -nolog switch. - FM -* Changed the -linknums switch to -number_links, fixed the code to work, - and documented the switch. - FM -* Made handling of escaped colons (\:) in VIEWER commands reliable. - FM -09-04-95 -* Implemented the PLAIN attribute for UL, and the SEQNUM and CONTINUE - attributes for OL. - FM -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for DD, DL, DT, LI, OL and UL - to HTML 3.0, added LH, and implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for those, - and B, BLINK, BR, CENTER, CITE, CODE, DFN, DIR, EM, FORM, KBD, I, LEFT, - LISTING, MENU, PLAINTEXT, PRE, RIGHT, SAMP, STRONG, TT, U, VAR and XMP - (some of which are obsoleted in HTML 3.0, but what the heck 8-). - FM -09-03-95 -* Made bolding of NAME (ID) anchor contents configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM -09-02-95 -* Tweaks of FIG and OVERLAY handling: Only put up [FIGURE] (and +[OVERLAY]) - links if clickable_images is set. Assume P ALIGN="left" if contained - text does not begin with an explicit tag that sets an alignment. - FM -* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for IMG. - FM -* Tweaks for FreeBSD. - Masafumi NAKANE (t94303mn@sfc.keio.ac.jp) -08-31-95 -* Added support for using a TITLE attribute as the subject in anchors with a - mailto HREF (A HREF="mailto:address" TITLE="RE: subject"). - FM -08-30-95 -* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for A, ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE, BQ, - CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, H1 - H6, HR, INPUT, NOTE, OPTION, P, SELECT, TABLE, - TD, TEXTAREA, TH and TR. - FM -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for ADDRESS to HTML 3.0. - FM -* Block insertion of any escape sequence characters or substitutes when - editing form INPUTs or TEXTAREAs. - FM -08-29-95 -* Tweak of ALIGN attribute handling in paragraphs. - FM -* Protect against hanging on escape sequences if received (illegally) in - documents typed as text/plain or text/html. - FM -08-28-95 -* Declared DCLspawn_exception() as an unsigned int to keep DECC happy. - FM -08-27-95 -* Give LYUpload() a return value (because LYLocal.c has been testing for - one all these years 8-). - FM -* Force reload on return from 'o'ptions menu if HTfileSortMethod or - keypad_mode are changed. - FM -* Force no cache of keymap display whenever vi_keys or emacs_keys are - changed. - FM -* Added Remove and Control-D as Delete synonyms for removing characters to - the left of the cursor in the LYgetstr() line editor, and Control-F as - Right-arrow synonym for moving the cursor to the right. - FM -08-24-95 -* Modified prompted string editing via LYgetstr() along lines in patch - from PM (editing of form INPUT and TEXTAREA strings is unchanged). - Here's how the prompted string editing works: Left-arrow and Backspace - (Control-H) move the cursor to the left, and Right-arrow to the right, - within the string. Characters are INSERTed at the cursor position. - Delete removes characters to the left of the cursor. Home, Find and - Control-A move the cursor to the beginning of the string. End, Select - and Control-E move the cursor to the end. Control-U erases the string. - Control-G cancels at any time. Return accepts if a string is present, - or cancels if it was fully erased or never entered. A right-curley - brace appears in the right-most column when the string has segment(s) - scrolled off screen, and if left scrolled, the cursor sits on it for - further editing with the above command keys (or acceptance via Return). - Long strings scroll both left and right between the prompt string and - right-curley brace. Had to modify 17 files to make this line editor - crash safe (I hope people like it! 8-). - FM -08-22-95 -* Use a macro in parse_arg() of LYMain.c to ensure proper handling of - switches which take a value and might have a space instead of an '=' - between the name and value. - DW -* Insulate any system RTL's getline() from the one in HTInit.c. - DW -* Enabled editing of titles when adding bookmarks. - FM -08-21-95 -* Fixed the IBM PC character set in LYCharSets.c (Note: The PC-set has the - currency symbol but it is a control character - ^O - so there is a chance - that curses or the user's terminal may discard it. Did not fix the - Icelandic characters). - DW -* Check whether getpwuid() and getgrid() have returned NULL pointers in - LYShowInfo.c. - DW -* Break up the too elaborate, compound assignment statements in LYList.c - so no compilers get tripped up by evaluation order effects. - DW -* Worked in mods from DW to cope with CR, CRLF or LF all as EOL in HTML.c - and GridText.c (not sure if they take into account all of the consequences - of Lou's "big cheat" in GridText.c, but they appear to, so far). - FM -* Explicitly preserve the Lynx bookmark file mode on Unix. - DSL -08-20-95 -* More documentation and help updates. - FM -08-19-95 -* Updated INSTALLATION and comments in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM -* If save to disk was done via the download menu, and a VMS rename() attempt - succeeded so we don't spawn a COPY, we no longer can access the file via - the download menu, so pop in that situation. - FM -* Worked in stuff from 16-Aug-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. Most had already been - added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM: ---------------------------------------------------- - 08-16-95 - * Applied patch from Peter van Heusden (pch@ucthpx.uct.ac.za) to fix - a bug when lynx encounters an OPTION tag before the style is - ever updated. - CL - 08-09-95 - * Added some tweaks to Makefile and LYCurses.h to get lynx to properly - compile on ISC. Thanks to Robert Salter (salter1@master.nsbf.nasa.gov). ---------------------------------------------------- -08-18-95 -* Added a -validate switch for turning off everything except http URLs, - helpfiles, and secure menus in Lynx. Can be used with -dump in CGI - scripts, but is intended for use with anonymous telnet logins. In the - latter case, the user can start with his/her server's or userdir homepage, - and validate everything, while able to manipulate the display features - (e.g., whether or not links are numbered) and turn on trace (Control-T, - then Control-R to reload) when a "Bad HTML" document is encountered. The - telnet approach is particularly useful when used with the 'l'ist feature. - When used with -dump, compare it with versus without -nolist. - FM -* Added a missing curley brace in EF's (08-16-95) patches. - FM -08-17-95 -* Added HISTORICAL_COMMENTS symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause - Lynx to revert to the "historical" behavior of treating any '>' as a - comment terminator instead of (a valid) '-->', and a -historical switch - for toggling the default behavior. - FM -* Added a -nolist switch for turning off the link list feature in dumps. - FM -* Modified SGML.c so that it still substitutes the expected end tag if a - different one is encountered (e.g, due to a document having interdigitated - instead of validly embedded tags), but doesn't do a wind down of the - element stack. This gives it a better chance of recovering from bad - HTML, and the sanity checks I've added thus far in HTML.c appear to still - be adequate for avoiding crashes (we'll see 8-). - FM -08-16-95 -* Mods to support within-document anchors in documents returned via - lynxcgi scripts. - FM -* Worked in EF's patches to handle changes of keymaps under DIRED_SUPPORT - with OK_OVERRIDE, and to give the user some feedback during an Install - command. - FM -08-15-95 -* Don't include a Referer header for 'g'oto URLs. - FM -* Added patches from PR for compilations with VMS port of GNUC: Modified - several prototypes to avoid GNUC warnings about conflicts with ones in - lib$routines.h, and added code in HTVMS_WaisUI.c to deal with an obscure - glitch for GNUC v2.6.[123] and v2.7.0 (not present in v2.6.0 or earlier, - and fixed in v2.7.1). - FM -* Worked in code from PR as LYVMS_FixedLengthRecords() in HTFWriter.c to - change attributes of binary files on VMS from Stream_LF to FIXED 512, - no implied carriage control, best try contiguous. Replaces the spawn - to execute FIXED512.COM. - FM -08-14-95 -* Modified TEXTAREA handling to succeed or fail on bad HTML equivalently - to Netscape. - FM -08-12-95 -* Mods to avoid crashes and to do something reasonable with OPTION strings - that are wider than the available popup window width. Truncation is - indicated by omission of a terminating ']' in the window link, and the - window, when popped up, is made equal to the screen width (but we can't - wrap the strings within the window, so they're truncated if they still - don't fit). - FM -* Mods to handle INPUT fields that are packaged in PRE and would extend past - the wrap column. No way to make that perfect without a major redesign, - but it's better now. - FM -08-10-95 -* Handle 'g'oto entries equivalently to STARTFILE and HOMEPAGE, i.e., if - the user's entry isn't a URL, convert it to a file URL if it's a file - or directory on the local system, otherwise convert it to an http URL. - For example, "~/" will be converted to a file URL for listing the HOME - directory (on both Unix and VMS), and "www.netscape.com" will become - "http://www.netscape.com". - FM -* Fix LYCurses.h to deal with definitions of TRUE and FALSE in cursesX.h - on ultrix. - Brian Exelbierd (bex@ncsu.edu) -* Made SYSTEM_MAIL, and MAIL_ADRS on VMS, configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM -08-08-95 -* Fixed two initialization problems that could account for reports of - inappropriate HEAD requests in pops of cached documents. - FM -* More tweaks for coping with bad HTML. - FM -* Fixed bug in code for bypassing bad SUFFIX: or VIEWER: entries. - FM -08-06-95 -* Added code in GridText.c to deal with syntactically OK but symantically - nonsensical uses of ALT="" in IMG tags (i.e., when the IMG is structured - to provide the anchor for a link, and so the anchor ends up with nothing - but nonprinting characters for bolding), and removed the forcing of an - "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT in HTML.c. The show_anchor element in TextAnchor - structures is now set to NO whenever an anchor does not have any - printing characters. - FM -* Modified HTML.c to issue only one "Bad HTML" statusline message per - document (unless it's one of those unbelievably bad CGI script outputs - that are functionally multiple, concatenated documents 8-), and similarly - for "Table in Form" and "Form in Table" informational messages. - FM -* Don't bother prompting whether to send a HEAD request for the current - document if there are no links on the page (but still prompt if the user - makes a HEAD request when positioned on an inappropriate form link). - FM -08-05-95 -* Added code in SGML.c for storing Identfiers (e.g., !DOCTYPE) and Comments - (i.e., tags beginning with !--) and for reporting them in trace mode. - Serves as a model for actually using them someday (i.e, functions for - analyzing them could be called where we presently just invoke a trace - output to stderr). - FM -08-03-95 -* Modified SGML.c to handle comments as in the current specs, and put - Paul Gilmartin's (pg@sweng.stortek.com) TestComment.html in the - test subdirectory. - FM -* Added binary extensions in HTInit.c that were giving people problems - on FTP servers. - FM -08-02-95 -* Added explicit check for CMU in telnet support with SOCKETSHR-built - images. - SB -* Added -link switch for setting the count in lnk#.dat files with -crawl - (needed if you interrupt a traversal and want to pick up again where - you left off). - DM -* More tweaks of -traversal code and Makefile. All known bugs appear to - have been dealt with at this point. Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and - help files to include the -traversal and -crawl switches. - FM -08-01-95 -* Changed the SEQUENT compilation sympbol to PTX2 and added a ptx2 procedure - to the Makefile for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx v2, because more current - versions reportedly have solved the problems which the conditional - compilation attempted to address. - FM -* Force in the "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT if someone uses ALT="" for an IMG tag - that has ISMAP specified. - FM -* Tweaks of the -traversal code (still experimental). - DM & FM -07-31-95 -* Worked in code from David Mathog (mathog@seqaxp.bio.caltech.edu) for - implementing the TRAVERSAL function from old versions of Lynx, but via - a command line switch (-traversal) instead of in a separately compiled - executable, and for a CRAWL function, invoked via a command line switch - (-crawl), which allows Lynx to be used as the front end for a Web Crawler. - See CRAWL.announce for more information. - FM -* More tweaks of LYCurses.c and LYCgi.c for GNUC on VMS. - SB -* More tweaks of src/Makefile. - DSL -07-30-95 -* Tweaks of yesterday's Makefile and descrip.mms files. - FM -07-29-95 -* Tweak in HTFTP.c to ensure that Lynx doesn't sit around waiting for an - FTP server's good-bye message if the server closes the connection itself - and doesn't send one. - FM -* Added GNUC support to the VMS descrip.mms files. - FM -* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c socket handling on VMS (I can't reproduce a reported - problem with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB, but these tweaks might help). - FM -* Added my guesses at code for HTTelnet.c to implement telnet, tn3270 and - rlogin support, if available, when building with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB on - VMS. - FM -07-28-95 -* Mods for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx - Mark Kolmar (mkolmar@ccs.nslsilus.org) -* Added GL's lynxcgi patches posted to lynx-dev, plus some tweaks. - FM -* Worked in GL's lynxcgi mods as in Lynx2-4-2: - -------------------------------------------- - Added George Lindholm's LYNXCGI feature. This allows lynx to bypass - http daemons to run local CGI scripts using a URL of the form - "lynxcgi:/path/cgi-script". To implement in Lynx, LYNXCGI_LINKS - must be uncommented in userdefs.h and TRUSTED_LYNXCGI must be fixed - in lynx.cfg. It doesn't handle redirection or mime-types and - scripts should probably generate partial URLs when referring back to - itself. If the file you're going after isn't an executable then it - will be loaded as regular file. This makes it possible to go back - and forth between cgi-scripts and .html files. - I changed the way TRUSTED_LYNXCGIs are recorded because they don't - work quite the same as TRUSTED_EXECs do. Also, George says it works - fine on SunOS and Solaris, and it seems to work fine on Linux. - CL - -------------------------------------------- -* Don't block access to the download menu when both no_download and - no_disk_save are set if any of the download commands have always_enabled - set (ie. present a reduced menu, with those still available). - FM -* More tweaks of help and html files. - DSL -07-26-95 -* Added support for GNUC in the VMS .com files. Should now compile and link - automatically for GNUC via build.com, but that needs testing. - FM -* Reorganized VMS option files into ones for the transport and ones for the - compiler, with corresponding updates of the .com and .mms files. - FM -* Tweaks of mods for GNUC on VMS, based on further discussions with - SB. - FM -* Tweaks of -help output. - Daniel S. Lewart (d-lewart@uiuc.edu) -07-25-95 -* Ugh!! Blew it for Unix when setting up the GLOBALDEF/GLOBALREF definitions - in tcp.h for VAXC vs. DECC vs. GNUC on VMS this morning (I'm a night - person 8-). - FM -* Worked in code for compiling with the VMS port of GNUC, based on patches - from Sterling Bjorndahl (bjorndahl@augustana.ab.ca) and advice from - Pat Rankin (rankin@eql.caltech.edu). Needs testing, and the linking - procedure still needs to be addressed explicitly. - FM -* Prevent possibility of a null pointer dereference if an ISMAP anchor - fetch fails. - David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) -07-21-95 -* Added LYK_HEAD (mapped by default to ']') to send HEAD requests for the - current document or link (always sent with LYforce_no_cache). - FM -* More lynx.man, lynx.hlp, help file and documentation updates. - FM -07-19-95 -* Put back "-mime_headers" with mods like those in lynx2-4-2, i.e., so that - a source dump is forced. Both "-mine_headers" and "-head" show the status - line as well as the MIME headers. - FM -* Modified "-error_file" to show the complete status line, as well as the - URL and METHOD, and to concatenate entries instead of creating separate - files for each request. - FM -* Updated the lynx.man, lynx.hlp and lynx_help files. - FM -07-18-95 -* Changed "-mime_headers" to "-head" and implemented it as a HEAD request - for fetching the MIME headers as text/plain. - FM -07-17-95 -* Removed 00DIFFERENT from this distribution. - FM -* Made use of _underline_ format in dumps optional via SUBSTITUTE_UNDERSCORES - definitions in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and added a "-underscore" - command line switch for toggling the default on or off. - FM -* Use system("exec $SHELL") for spawning the default shell on Unix. - Paul - Gilmartin (pg@sweng.stortek.com) -* Fixed typo in check for news vs. nntp URLs in HTNews.c. - Wilson Cheung - (wcheung@netcom.com) -* Added code to the VMS setup() for dealing with curses conficts if someone - used -post_data or -get_data without specifying -dump under conditions - which require it, so it's not forced in LYMain.c as on Unix. If fact, - -get_data and -post_data are very useful in interactive invokations. - FM -* Fixed memory leak in the -post_data and -get_data handling. - FM -* Added LYNX_HOST_NAME in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for defining an alias - which will be treated equivalently to "localhost" and HTHostName (the - fully qualified domain name of the system running Lynx) in checks for - URLs on the local host (e.g., when the -localhost switch is set). - FM -* Added in or improved descriptions for the new switches in the Lynx - command line help and Lynx_users_guide.html. - FM -07-16-95 -* Tweaks of yesterday's startfile and -homepage mods, and added treatment - of '~' as SYS$LOGIN when used as the lead character on VMS (e.g., on - VMS as on Unix, lynx ~/ will create a listing of the login directory - for the account running lynx). - FM -* Worked in stuff from 13-Jul-95 lynx2-4-1 upgrade. Most had already been - added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM: ---------------------------------------------------- - 07-13-95 -* Added some command line patches from Peter Brooks - CL: - (pbrooks@micromind.com). The new command lines are: - -post_data, -get_data = send form data from stdin and dumps results. - -auth=ID:PASSWD = sets authorization stuff at startup. - -mime_header = prints mime header with -source. - -noredir = prevents automatic redirection - -error_file=file = prints HTTP status code to file. (Not sure of - his motivation on this one, something to do with SlipKnot, - I think.) - (Replaced Peter's strdup()'s with more portable code. - FM) - 07-11-95 -* Added Erik Olson's (olson@phys.washngton.edu) patch to use the - _underline_ format when using the -dump option. - CL - (Kept the old code, #ifdef'ed out, to make this optional someday. - FM) - 07-07-95 -* Fixed a bug in local_dired. Specifically, a pointer to a fixed array - was being fed into StrAllocCopy as the destination. Linux was choking - on this although OSF/1 and AIX seemed to handle it better. - CL ---------------------------------------------------- -07-15-95 -* If a command line "startfile" and/or -homepage is not a URL, and can't - be located as a file or directory on the local system, treat it as an - http URL, e.g., www.wfeb.edu will be treated as http://www.wfeb.edu - FM -07-13-95 -* Added nntp URL handling (nntp://news_host[:port]/path). Made it read - access only (use news URLs for both read and post access). - FM -07-12-95 -* Added code for proxying https and snews URLs. The Netsite proxy server - can proxy them without need for SSL code in the clients themselves, i.e., - for Lynx as publically distributed (need client-resident SSL code and - tunneling for the CERN proxy server, sorry). - FM -* Added the CONNECT protocol to our local code, so that SSL URLs can be - tunneled through proxy servers, and reorganized some code so that patches - for the SSL hooks can be applied easily if NSA regulations are relaxed. - FM -07-11-95 -* More tweaks of alignment code. - FM -* Fixed bad code for removing trailing white space in GridText.c, LYrcFile.c, - LYReadCFG.c and LYUtils.c. - FM -* Added snews and nttp protocols, which simply inform the user that they - aren't implemented. - FM -* The claim is that even mere hooks to the RSA and SSL libraries are - objectionable to the NSA, so I removed then from the public distribution, - but left in the https protocol, which simply informs the user that it - isn't implemented. - FM -07-08-95 -* Worked in Lou Montulli's (montulli@netscape.com) code for https URL - handling into the Common Library. To actually use it, you have to - get the RSA and SSL libraries, which are restricted to US citizens - (it works if you are and do 8-). I can't include those in this - distribution, because by US law that would in turn restrict it to - US citizens. - FM -* Tweaks of paragraph alignment code. - FM -07-07-95 -* If we are not allowed to change the status of the "lynxexec - execution of links" from the option screen then we shouldn't be - allowed to change it from the .lynxrc file either. - GL -* Added George Lindholm's patch to add uudecode support to Lynx's file - manager. Unfortunately, uudecode puts the uudecoded file in the - current working directory, namely the directory where lynx is started. - I haven't thought of a workaround yet, so I made lynx print a - statusline message informing the user. - CL -07-06-95 -* Modified redirection-handling code in HTTP.c to ensure that we get all of - the headers before trying to track down the Location: header. - FM -* For move's or rename's in the local DIRED code, don't write the new file - name into the same buffer as the old. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca) -07-05-95 -* Added GL's mods to use a stream-based procedure for displaying the - current Lynx keymap. Faster and more efficient than the temporary - file-based procedure. - FM -07-04-95 (Enjoy the fireworks!!! 8-) -* More mods of SGML/HTML parsing to help recover from bad HTML. - FM -* Fixed some cryptic initialization problems in the Common Library's - centering and right alignment code, that we're now using, by changing - the malloc's in HTChunk.c to calloc's. - FM -* Secured some unsafe code in the LYstrncpy() function. - FM -* Increased the connect() and select() while()-looping limit in HTTCP.c - to 30,000 tries. - FM -* Tweak of HR WIDTH attribute handling. - FM -07-03-95 -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for HR to HTML 3.0, plus - its Netscape WIDTH and SIZE attributes, and implemented WIDTH, e.g., - HR WIDTH="50%" yields a centered horizontal rule half the width - between the current left and right margins. - FM -* Fixed problem of header end tags not yielding line breaks when embedded - in CENTER, LEFT or RIGHT tags. - FM -07-02-95 -* Added MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg which can - be defined FALSE to treat inlines without an ALT string as having ALT="" - instead of inserting the pseudo-ALT string "[INLINE]" into the document. - The configuration file default can be toggled via a -pseudo_inlines - command line switch, and the user can toggle the inclusion of pseudo-ALT - strings on or off at run time via LYK_INLINE_TOGGLE (mapped by default - to '['). - FM -* Made the -image_links command line switch a toggle for the configuration - file default setting. - FM -* Enabled processing of forms that use TABLE for formatting. I don't see any - risk of crashes, and they might end up usable. Messages warn the user that - the display of the form may be strange. - FM -* Relaxed anti-crash protections for forms with bad HTML (usually due - to interdigitated instead of embedded tags, written by providers with - Netscape or Mosaic clients, which are insensitive to such fundamentally - bad HTML). I got the code to still work with several bad forms on the - Net, and if a crash should occur, the user has been tipped off via the - statusline or trace message about the nature of the problem. - FM -07-01-95 -* Restored the meaning of the P element to be the beginning of a paragraph, - updated its structures and definitions in the DTD to HTML 3.0, and - implemented its ALIGN attribute (left, center, right). Note that it - no longer forces double spacing (you'll get the spacing defined in - the stylesheet for the current element, which may or may not be - double) and empty paragraphs (serial Ps) will not yield additional - newlines (use serial BRs for that). - FM -* If both download options and disk saves are restricted, don't fetch - binary files with a download offer when their links are activated - (just issue a statusline message that the file can't be displayed), - and issue a "disabled" statusline message for any overt 'd'ownload - attemps. - FM -* For disk saves in LYDownload.c, on VMS attempt a rename() first, and then - a spawned DCL copy if that fails. - FM -* Added memory exhaustion checks for all mallocs, reallocs and callocs in - the LYfoo modules. - FM -* Added CL's realloc() substitute for AIX and ultrix in GridText.c. - FM -* Map extensions .html3 and .ht3 to text/html in HTInit.c. - FM -06-29-95 -* Added code to enable creation of links for all images. Can be made the - default by setting MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or - lynx.cfg (not advised). Can be implemented for the session via a command - line switch, -image_links, e.g., use lynx -dump -image_links to get links - for all images, as well as standard links, listed in the output. Can be - toggled on and off at run time via LYK_IMAGE_TOGGLE (mapped by default to - '*'). Use that in conjuction with the LYK_LIST command to get a list of - links that includes all images, e.g., for adding them as bookmarks. The - toggle also invokes a reload, so that the change will be implemented for - the current and any future documents, but if you return to cached - documents, those will need to be reloaded explicitly. See comments in - userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM -* Don't restrict use of Control-T for toggling trace mode to advanced - usermode (i.e., make it available in all usermodes, so people might - follow the instructions in "BAD HTML" statusline messages to check - the document in trace mode). - FM -* Modified LYList.c to indicate the anchor NAME/ID, if present, following - the TITLE, if known, in interactive 'l'ists. -* Modified SGML.c to treat '>' as both a close-double-quote and close-tag. - Now Lynx acts like Netscape, in that respect, so all that bad HTML - Netscape users are generating will not bother Lynx. - FM -06-28-95 -* Oops, missed an initialization in this morning's centering and right - alignment mods. - FM -* Fixed up HTML.c to bypass HTML 3.0 attribute checks for start tags generated - by the Common Library's non-http access types (gopher, ftp, news, wais) - Could crash, otherwise. - FM -* Fixed up GridText.c code to take non-printing control characters properly - into account when formatting centered or right-aligned text. - FM -* Mods to improve appropriate carryover or cancelling of alignment attributes - across successive elements. - FM -* Implemented Netscape LEFT and RIGHT extensions, homologously to CENTER. - FM -* Implemented Netscape BLINK extension as HT_UNDERLINE. - FM -06-26-95 -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for H1 - H6 to HTML 3.0 and - implemented their ALIGN attribute (left, right and center). - FM -* Implemented the Netscape CENTER extension. - FM -06-25-95 -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, - SELECT and OPTION to HTML 3.0. - FM -* Implemented the HTML 3.0 DISABLED attribute for FORM elements. - FM -* INPUT type "scribble" implemented as "text" according to the HTML 3.0 - recommendation for non-GUI clients. - FM -* Added protections against problems with INPUT types "range" and "file" - until they're implemented (will be tricky, but do-able 8-). - FM -06-23-95 -* Added all ISO8859-1 entities to the DTD. - FM -06-22-95 -* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for A and IMG to HTML 3.0, and - implemented their ID attribute. - FM -* Tweaks of FIG handling. - FM -* It is somehow inappropriate to teach our users to write correct HTML and - to tell them to always check it before publishing, when Lynx's on-line - help gives such a bad example :-} (not to mention versions from a couple - of months back). Better now. - Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si) -06-20-95 -* Made the DTD structures and definitions for the HTML 3.0 elements - BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY complete, and added - those for STYLE, TABLE, TD, TH and TR. -* Tweaks of yesterday's HTML 3.0 additions (still just "first pass"). - FM -* Added code for avoiding potential problems with stylesheets and tables - in HTML 3.0 documents. - FM -06-19-95 -* Added "first pass" handling of HTML 3.0 elements BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT, - FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY. - FM -06-17-95 -* Close the configuration file on completion of the big while() in - LYReadCFG.c. - PM -* Added 00DIFFERENT to keep track of files in this code set which - presently differ from those in the latest development code set - at UKans (currently, lynx2-4-1.zip of 15-Jun-95). - FM -* Tweak of the pseudo-toolbar code. The 'l'ist command now displays the - TITLE (or RelValue, if TITLE is defaulted) of those links if they have - never been accessed, or their actual HTML titles if accessed, at the - top of the links list, so you can use that command instead of LYK_HOME - to reach the toolbar links at any time, and then left-arrow to where - you were in the current document instead of having to page back down - to that location. - FM -06-16-95 -* Added LINK REL="RelValue" HREF="foo" TITLE="TitleValue" HTML 3.0 - handling (as in http://www.hpl.hp.co.uk/people/dsr/html3/dochead.html - of 28-Mar-95). The HREF and REL values are required (the LINK will be - ignored if either is missing or has a zero-length value). TITLE is - optional, i.e., the RelValue will be used as the link name if TITLE - is omitted. Currently registered toolbar RelValues are: Home, ToC, - Index, Glossary, Copyright, Up, Next, Previous, Help, and Bookmark. - The Bookmark links are intended to have TITLEs (e.g., "Order Form"). - The others have RelValues that yield self-evident link names. The LINKs - should be placed in the HEAD section, so they'll be displayed in a manner - simulating a toolbar (but not a real one, since we don't have Windows and - mouse support; use your LYK_HOME command to access it at any time 8-). - The BODY should have a line-breaking element (e.g, H1) to set them off. - For now, the Banner RelValue is treated like another toolbar element. - The StyleSheet RelValue is ignored, since we don't yet have loadable - stylesheet handling. - FM -* Fixed up the 06-13-95 NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL patch to be appropriate for - VMS - FM. -06-14-95 -* Added LYK_LIST command ('l' or 'L'; must be uppercase if VI keys are on) - for creating an ACTIVATEable list of references (links) in the current - document. If LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, it's a UL, otherwise it's an - OL. Visited links have the TITLE displayed, otherwise the HREF is - displayed. - FM -* Added code to append a list of references (links), if present in the - document, when -dump is used. Dumps are done with LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED - turned on. The reference list is numbered, and always shows the HREFs, - so that they can be referenced to the links in the document. - FM -* Updated help files. - FM ---- lynx2-4-1 on ftp2.cc.ukans.edu (added to lynx2-4-FM on 06-16-95) -06-13-95 -* Added George Lindholm's patch to add -r (recurse) to the zip call in DIRED. - - JP -06-12-95 -* Added George Lindholm's new file permission patch. Here's his description: - "Here is a rewamped version of my earlier file permission patch. This version - uses a html page to prompt for user input (rather than having the user - enter a obscure unix chmod string) using checkboxes." - JP -* Added George Lindholm's addition of a compiler flag (NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL). - If NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL is set the user will not be able to add their own - from header.

Show each link's actual address - in addition to the titles, since the actual addresses can't be determined - via showinfo or the 'l'ist display, and links in the History List derived - from searches can have the same titles but different searchparts or hidden - content appended. If a link in the History List is activated, is still - cached, has POST content, and ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS was configured off (as - recommended) and wasn't toggled on via -resubmit_posts, prompt the user - whether to resubmit the form (versus retrieve the cached rendition from - the previous submission). We don't bother prompting on PREV_DOC ("back") - fetches, and still resubmit forms with POST content whenever their submit - buttons are activated, i.e., regardless of whether ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS - has been configured or toggled on. - FM -* If a user attempts to add a bookmark while viewing a document returned - via a form submission with POST content, and it contains links, offer - the current link with it's link name for editing. Otherwise, display - a statusline message that documents from forms with POST content cannot - be saved as bookmarks. - FM -08-23-96 -* Added UP_HALF and DOWN_HALF commands, mapped by default to '(' and ')', - for going back or forward half a page in the document. These are - complementary to UP_TWO and DOWN_TWO, for going back or forward two - lines (remember to use the 'K'eymap command for a list of all of the - keystroke command bindings currently in effect, since they may have - been changed via lynx.cfg from the defaults described in the online - 'H'elp). - FM -* Made the Control-A and Control-E keys default synonyms for HOME and END, - complementary to their use for going to the beginning or end of the line - when using the line editor. - FM -* Don't lose track of source versus present mode on returns from temporary - menu files to documents derived from forms with method POST. - FM -* Ugh, I had deleted one too many lines from HTTP.c when stripping out my - SSL hooks for the distribution copy (no wonder the Authorization mods - worked fine for me but nobody else 8-). - FM -08-22-96 -* Added handling of named entities and numeric character references in - the values of most of the non-URL attributes (we don't waste overhead - doing that for the values of simple attributes, like ALIGN, which have - designated strings). - FM -08-21-96 -* Safely handle named entities and numeric character references in the values - of BASE, LINK, HREF, SRC, ACTION, DATA, CODEBASE and CODE attributes, and - in the URL field for the CONTENT of META with a "Refresh" HTTP-EQUIV or - NAME. They are converted in relation to the "ISO Latin 1" Character Set - array regardless of the selected Character Set (except that nbsp and shy - remain 160 and 173), then 8-bit translations are hex escaped (as they - should have been in the markup 8-), and ESC is hex escaped or omitted - depending on whether a CJK character set has been selected. There's no - way to do it such that the resolved URL always will be valid no matter - what yoyos or CGI scripts put in document instances, but this strategy - maximizes the chances while making sure no "dangerous" characters, based - on the selected Character Set, are ever sent to the screen (it used to be - HyperText Markup Language, not HyperGraphic Markup Language 8-)- FM -* Allow Control-G or a zero-length username or password to act as a cancel - of the request (and restoration of the current document) when an http - server invokes prompting for Authorization. - FM -* When using a proxy server, report the target host instead of the proxy - in prompts for Authorization. - FM -* Show MIME types of files, if known, whenever a download offer is forced, - regardless of why it was forced (i.e, not only for mismatches between - the document's charset and the selected character set). - FM -08-20-96 -* Yet more tweaks of MIME header parsing. - FM -08-19-96 -* Enhancements of the news gateway. - FM -* Tweaks of Content-Type and charset handling. - FM -* Tweaks of MIME header parsing. - FM -08-18-96 -* Tweaks of the news gateway and its documentation. - FM -08-17-96 -* Added overt (rational 8-) handling of all status codes that might be - returned (appropriately or inappropriately 8-) from HTTP/1.1 http - servers, and massively annotated the code in HTTP.c. - FM -* Added parsing in HTMIME.c, and at least trace mode reporting, for all - http server reply and entity headers as in the 08-12-96 HTTP/1.1 draft. - We should not get many of them, unless we declare ourselves as an HTTP/1.1 - client and send the appropriate request headers, but they're all available - now for use as more HTTP/1.1 features are added. - FM -08-16-96 -* Added handling of "Pragma: no-cache" or "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers - from http servers, and polished up the code for handling them via META - directives. - FM -08-15-96 -* Modified form handling so that Lynx always resubmits forms if their method - is POST, even if their content was not changed, when their submit buttons - or submitting text input are activated. Changed the ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_FORMS - compilation and configuration definitions, and -resubmit_forms command - line toggle, to ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_POSTS, and -resubmit_posts. When FALSE, - you still get the previously returned document from a POSTed form if that - document had links which you activated, and then go back with the PREV_DOC - command or via the history list. If set TRUE, the form will be resubmitted - under those circumstances as well. Documents returned by forms with method - GET still require use of the RESUBMIT command to resubmit if the forms' - content was not changed, and forms with a mailto action still always mail - the content on activation of the submit button or submitting text input - (no document is returned, so the PREV_DOC command and history list behaviors - are irrelevant). - FM -* Use space to plus conversions for values of submitted form content (Ugh, - Lynx has been using %20 all these years! It worked because they are - unescaped to space, anyway. 8-). - FM -* Polished up and massively annotated the redirection handling code. If - a user approves redirection of a form with POST content, it will not be - freed and the submission will not be converted to a contentless GET request - unless the status was 303 (See Other). For 300 (Multiple Choices), the - returned document is offered, which should include links with descriptions - of their media types. The returned document (if any) is now displayed for - any redirection status code if no Location: header was present, and for - unknown 3xx codes (i.e., greater than 305). If Lynx gets an inappropriate - 304 (Not Modified), it switches to HEAD mode and displays the status line, - and anything else returned by the server, as text/plain. A 301 (Moved - Permanently) will be treated as 302 (Moved Temporarily) for form submissions - with POST content. Otherwise, Lynx will use the new URL for the remainder - of the current session (users will have to do a 'r'emove and 'a'dd for their - bookmarks themselves, for now). A 305 (Use Proxy) will not be honored if - Lynx is already using a proxy, and instead the returned document will be - displayed. The limit on serial redirections was dropped from the current - 10 to 5, as recommended in the August 10, 1996 HTTP/1.1 draft. - FM -08-13-96 -* Mods to accommodate the HTTP/1.1 300 - 305 Redirection status codes, and - to require user confirmation for any redirection of POST content. - FM -* Tweaks of OBJECT handling. - FM -08-12-96 -* Implemented all aspects of OBJECT that make sense for a text client. - Will descend though nested OBJECTs. Can be used for presenting PRE - formatted character-cell versions of images, and appears to handle - all likely uses of the SHAPES and USEMAP attributes in OBJECTs. The - pseudo-ALTs for links to non-script DATA values (i.e, the for-GUI - sources) when offered as links (e.g., in clickable_images mode), if - not a markup-specified string (e.g., based on a TITLE attribute), - are (IMAGE) or (OBJECT), based on whether the nature of the source - can be inferred from the context, or an explicit TYPE attribute in - the OBJECT start tag. The use of parens instead of square-brackets - indicates that the links are for OBJECTs as opposed to IMGs. - FM -* Tweaks of SELECT and OPTION handling. - FM -08-09-96 -* Lots more stuff added to the online help files. - FM -* Added state code in SGML.c to avoid getting tripped up by any single or - double quotes in CJK escape sequences that are within single or double - quoted attribute values. - TA -* Restrict resetting the Kanji code flag on white space to Japanese - (i.e., not also Chinese, Taipai, or Korean). - TA -* Added handling of EPLF lines (with local time) for the FTP gateway. - - D. J. Bernstein (djb@koobera.math.uic.edu) -08-08-96 -* Added code for handling captured OBJECT content with the SHAPES - attribute equivalently to our handling of FIG, and with USEMAP and/or - ISMAP content equivalently to our handling of IMG. -* Added code for capturing potentially nested container elements that - require pre-processing, e.g., OBJECT, and for passing the processed - markup back to the SGML parser to be inserted within the ongoing HTML - stream. -* Added CHECK_EAGAIN Makefile definition for non-SVR4 Unix flavors which - might need it for socket connect() and select() calls. - FM -* Tweaks of keyboard input with slang when LYCursesON is FALSE. - FM -08-06-96 -* Terminate and start a new Accept: header line if the current one will - exceed 1 KB (shouldn't be necessary, but otherwise the long lines cause - an error for WebSitePro and crash Netscape servers, and perhaps have - adversed effects on some other http servers with ill designed code for - content negotiation). - FM -* Give temporary files suffixes matched to the Content-Type for all flavors - of Unix and for VMS, not just for NeXT. - FM -* Tweak of Location: header parsing in HTTP.c (trim all lead spaces). - FM -08-05-96 -* More help and documentation updates. - FM -08-04-96 -* Updated the online help files. - FM -08-03-96 -* Mods of "user (A)gent" 'o'ption handling. Also added a "useragent" - -restriction, included in the defaults for anonymous accounts. See - the "Lynx options menu" section of the "Lynx Users Guide" via the - online 'h'elp for more information. - FM -* Tweaks of messaging for unsupported URLs. - FM -* Tweaks of interrupt handling on VMS. - FM -08-02-96 -* Added handling of Refresh in META tags. The URL is presented as a link - pointed to by a "REFRESH(n sec):" label, where "n" is the seconds - parameter from the META tag, and you must activate it yourself, which - should enable people using Lynx via a braille interface to examine - the initial document before it is refreshed. The META format is: - <META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="n; URL=url"> where "n" can be "0" or - a positive integer, and the "; URL=url" field is optional, defaulting - to the document's own address. Netscape's docs say that "url" should - be a complete URL, but their client doesn't require it, and so it's - users don't reliably use complete URLs. Lynx therefore resolves "url" - versus the document's own address if it is not complete. - FM -08-01-96 -* Added handling of ENCTYPE="text/plain" for FORMs with a mailto ACTION. - The name=value pairs are not hex escaped, and physical newlines instead - of '&' separate the pairs, so that the content is readable directly. - FM -* Added SUBJECT attribute as synonym for TITLE in FORMs (Some clients - are using it instead of TITLE for mailto ACTIONs, ugh!). - FM -* Tweaks of DEL, S, STRIKE, and INS handling. - FM -* Handle any newline characters in quoted INPUT values. - FM -* Added news-ncurses and news-slang Makefile targets, and tweaks of headers - for sony_news. - Makoto MATSUSHITA (matusita@ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp) -07-30-96 -* Finished and incorporated lynx_url_support.html in the online help, - and updated lynx_help_main.html. - FM -* Tweaks of ID attribute handling. - FM -* Tweaks of the gopher gateway. - FM -* Updated IBMPC-charsets.announce. - MB -07-26-96 -* Set the default anonymous account restrictions if Lynx is invoked in - the account pointed to by ANONYMOUS_USER, or with the -anonymous switch, - before processing any additional command line restrictions, so that any - greater restrictions will not drop back to the compilation defaults. - Note that the full set of -validate restrictions always are enforced for - that switch, i.e., no matter what other switches or compilation options - are used, and whether or not the account is anonymous. - FM -* Implemented handling of the ANONYMOUS_USER definition on VMS (equivalently - to it's implementation on Unix). - FM -* Tweaks of mailto URL handling and setting of the default subject via - TITLE attributes. - FM -* Tweak of the news gateway's handling of the author (From:) field. - FM -07-25-96 -* If a server returns redirection without a complete URL indicated, resolve - it relative to the original request instead of issuing an error message - (this is incorrect behavior, but that's another trashed standard, and - Lynx may as well handle the situation as standard-less clients do). - FM -* Move the NO_JUMPFILE and JUMP_PROMPT definitions to LYMessages_en.h - FM -* Added code for selective disabling of goto by scheme in anonymous accounts, - along lines of patch from Doug Lawson (dlawson@epfl2.epflbalto.org). - FM -* Ignore any viewer mappings for text/html or text/plain in mailcap - files. - FM -07-22-96 -* Updated ptx target and added ptx-slang. - Alan Coopersmith - (alanc@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU) -* Added all the new elements and attributes from the July 12 HTML 3.2/Cougar - DTD, and implemented the new IMG TITLE attribute for use with USEMAP. -* Added a -startfile_ok switch for allowing a non-http startfile or homepage - with -validate, and restored the behavior of not allowing *any* non-http - URLs by default. -07-19-96 -* Treat PLAIN and TYPE="plain" as equivalent in UL tags. - FM -* Fixed the mispositioning of thinsp in HTMLDTD.c. - FM -07-18-96 -* Moved the statusline prompt, message, and warning string definitions - out of userdefs.h into an LYMessages_en.h header. See the comments - in userdefs.h and LYMessages_en.h for more information. - FM -* Removed the -lc from the LIBS= list of the snake3 and snake3-slang - targets, added a description of the HP/UX 10.10 select() problems - and reported (but not yet satisfactory) workarounds in the PROBLEMS - file, and a note in the Makefile to read the PROBLEMS file. - FM -07-17-96 -* Numerous typecasts added for optimized compilations. - FM -* Tweaks for ISC. - WS -* Changed make to $(MAKE) and -g to -O for Unix targets (may need - tweaking for some flavors 8-). - FM -* Added news target for SONY NEWS-OS 4.2.1R based on patch from - Kazuya 'Sharl' Masuda (masuda@sp.hudson.co.jp) and TA. - FM -* Fixed typo in LYList.c from yesterday's mods. - FM -07-16-96 -* Plugged memory leaks associated with temporary file names. - FM -* Finally figured out what was creating orphan child anchors, and plugged - that memory leak in HTAnchor_delete(). - FM -* Replace <sys/select.h> with <sys/timeb.h> for SCO in tcp.h. - BL -* Mods to avoid warning about redefinition of signal when building on - VMS with old versions of SOCKETSHR (irrelevant, but might worry - people who don't know that the warning can be ignored). - FM -07-15-96 -* Plugged various memory leaks in FORM handling code. - FM -07-13-96 -* Add the startfile, and homepage if different, to the 'g'oto recall - buffer so that they are available for editing in addition to any - overtly entered 'g'oto URLs. - FM -* Changed TRUSTED_URL to ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC for clarity, and plugged - memory leaks and some security holes in that code. - FM -* Fixed typo in code for handling Z compressed files. - FM -07-12-96 -* Added handling of   ( ), and handling of   as  , -   as  , – as – or &endash;, — as — or - &emdash;, and ™ as ™ (treated as ® ®), based on the - Cougar DTD. - FM -* Increased the line buffer size in HTLoadHTTP() and limited the deflt string - length in HTPrompt() to avoid possibilities of buffer overruns. - FM -07-11-96 -* Block access to file: URLs via network served files or bookmarks in - addition to 'g'oto entries when -restrictions=file_url is set (one of - the default restrictions for -anonymous). - FM -* Extended compressed file handling to the ftp gateway and local files. - If you ACTIVATE the link instead of overtly invoking a 'd'ownload, and - the path with the gz or Z stripped maps to a displayable Content-Type or - one for which you have a viewer or helper app, the file will be treated - as if it had a Content-Encoding: header indicating the compression (i.e., - uncompressed and displayed or passed to the viewer or helper app). - FM -* Mods to send http servers an Accept-Encoding: header indicating gzip and - compress, and to block inclusion of our new, internal www/compressed MIME - type in the Accept: header list. - FM -* Changed the names of the lex_buffer and lex_lines globals to HTlex_buffer - and HTlex_lines in case name conflicts are causing segmentation faults on - linux for long usernames in authorization requests, and changed all - malloc()'s to calloc()'s in that code in case there's an initialization - glitch I don't yet see. - FM -07-09-96 -* Use the username and password of an -auth= command line argument only - for the first realm that requests authorization, so they don't preclude - access to other realms later in any interactive session that might have - a different username and/or password, and handle inclusion of only a - username or only a password in the -auth= argument. - FM -* Tweaks of memory leak plugs in authorization handling functions (hopefully - now avoiding segmentation faults on linux 8-). - FM -* Include -lc in the first position of the LIBS= list for snake3 targets. - - Donald S. Teiser <dsteis01@homer.louisville.edu) -* Enhancements of Makefile. - LWV -07-07-96 -* Tweaks of code for uncompressing on the fly. Will now force a download - offer without uncompressing if there is no presentation mapping for the - Content-Type. - FM -* Retain blank lines within TEXTAREA content (but not trailing blanks). - DT -07-07-96 -* Added functions for uncompressing and handling documents which have - Content-Encoding headers that indicate "x-gzip", "gzip", "x-compress", - or "compress" (instead of forcing a download offer). The files are - not uncompressed if they were fetched via the 'd'ownload command. - Note, however, that if you activate a link for a compressed image or - other binary file, and don't have a viewer or helper app mapped for it, - it will already have been uncompressed before a D)ownload or C)ancel - offer can be made, so use the 'd'ownload command directly if it is - your intention to download such files. Note also that on VMS "gzip -d" - is used for both gz and Z uncompression. See the INSTALLATION file for - info on getting the VMS port of gzip. - FM -07-06-96 -* Allow any startfile and homepage in -validate mode even if they are not - http URLs. - FM -* Made all the 'o'ptions menu statusline prompts and informational messages - strings that can be defined in userdefs.h for different languages. - FM -* Mods to send one Accept header as a comma-separated list instead of a - series of individual Accept header statements. - FM -07-05-96 -* Added NO_FILE_REFERER configuration symbol and -nofilereferer switch - for disabling transmissions of Referer headers for any file URLs (is - a subset of what NO_REFERER_HEADER and -noreferer disable). - FM -* Tweaks to facilitate additions of security-related patches. - FM -07-04-96 -* Added NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE and NEWS_MAX_CHUNK configuration symbols and - -newschunksize and -newsmaxchunk switches for regulating the chunking - of news article listings. See comments in lynx.cfg for explanation. - FM -07-02-96 -* Tweaks of URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES and URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES handling (was - doing double scheme prefixing under some circumstances). - FM -* Fixed problem of potential crashes with bad HTML which lacks any - OPTION tags in SELECT containers (Yes, HTML that bad is really out - there! 8-). - FM -* Fixed problem of potential infinite loop in HText_endAppend() for documents - that contain nothing but SCRIPTs and empty OBJECT containers (as in the - Microsoft ActiveX demos). -FM -07-01-96 -* Added circular recall buffer for paths used as the second argument in - 'd'ownload and 'p'rint menu commands. Use the up- and down-arrow keys - to access then at the statusline prompt, equivalently to the recalls for - previous 'g'oto URLs, 'j'ump shortcuts, and ISINDEX or WHEREIS search - queries. - FM -* Modified the LYMail.c functions to work as intended with both curses - and slang (through v0.9-33) on both Unix and VMS. - FM -06-30-96 -* Changed yesterday's symbols to URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES and URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES - and added code to guess the scheme based on the first field of the domain - name (e.g., gopher.wfbr.edu will become gopher://gopher.wfbr.edu instead - an http://host URL). Note also that a partial host string can contain a - dot within it and still be tested with prefixes and suffixes if the DNS - lookup fails with the host string as entered (e.g., cc.ukans will become - http://www.cc.ukans.edu), and only dots at the end or beginning of the - partial host string will block prepending or appending, respectively, of - items from the prefix or suffix lists (e.g., ftp.foo. will block use of - items from the prefix list, but permit tests from the suffix list, and - will become ftp://ftp.foo.dom if the ftp.foo.dom lookup succeeds). - FM -06-29-96 -* Added HTTP_DOMAIN_PREFIXES and HTTP_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES in userdefs.h and - lynx.cfg for defining lists and setting the order of domain name prefixes - and suffixes to use when creating http:// URLs from command line and - 'g'oto arguments which are not already URLs and cannot be opened via a - file://localhost URL (see 05-30-96 entry). - FM -06-28-96 -* Tweaks of MIME header handling. - FM -06-27-96 -* Do not send a referer header for links obtained from the history list, - bookmark file, or jumps file. - FM -* Made sorts by name case-sensitive in ftp and file listings. - FM -* Added osf-slang make target. - FM -* Enable ^C (SIGINT) interrupts during spawns on Unix (^C and ^Y interrupts - were already being enabled for VMS ). - FM -* Fixed glitch in WHEREIS search handling. - Michael Barabanov - (baraban@luz.cs.nmt.edu) -06-26-96 -* Tweaks of ftp gateway for VM/CMS servers based on feedback from PG. - FM -* More tweaks of 'o'ptions menu and DISPLAY handling. - FM -* Tweaks for builds with WIN_TCP on VMS. - FM -06-24-96 -* Modified 'o'ptions menu handling to allow NULLing of strings which were - set at startup. Note that if you NULL (or set) the DISPLAY variable, - Lynx configured itself for X/Motif or not based on whether it was set - (or NULL) at startup, and you need to restart Lynx to really change the - configuration for 'd'ownload forces versus X/Motif viewer spawns. - FM -* More tweaks of language code, to make the HTCJK enum checks more - portable. - FM -06-23-96 -* Set up handling of nested DIV tags with ALIGN attributes (and CENTER, - which is treated as DIV ALIGN="center"). - FM -* Removed INSERT, ALIAS and MH from the DTD, and their associated code - from HTML.c and GridText.c. - FM -06-22-96 -* Tweaks of character set handling. - FM -* Added function for graphic boxing of popups with curses on VMS. - FM -06-21-96 -* Mods to translate CJK escape sequences and take Kanji into account when - handling statusline() messages. That's in effect if a CJK character set - is selected, and regardless of the raw or CJK mode setting, because the - strings are coming from definitions in userdefs.h, not the document that - is being rendered or displayed. - FM -* Added more statusline() string definitions in userdefs.h. - FM -* Ignore a server's Content-Encoding header if it inappropriately indicates - "8bit" or "7bit" (should be indicated a compression scheme). - FM -* Mods to use charset strings as in the 07-Jun-1996 HTTP/1.1 draft, and to - check for those as well as their common synonyms. - FM -* Mods to revive clearok() functionality with the slang 0.99-33 library - (need it for Kanji handling and for VMS), and to deal with the definition - conflicts for the (poorly added) TRUE and FALSE definitions in the new - slang library's SLcurses.h. - FM -06-20-96 -* Added handling of the SFS file system on VM ftp servers, tested on - ftp://ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu/ (be sure to escape the colons if you use SFS - paths, e.g., ftp://ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu/vmsysu%3alistserv.webshare) - FM -* More memory management enhancements and leak plugs. - FM -* Added -DUNIX and -DSCO to the sco and sco5 libwww targets. - BL -06-17-96 -* Added handling of ­, ­, and 8-bit 173 for ISO-Latin-1 documents, - as a soft hyphen for all of the character sets. - FM -* Polished up and massively annotated the new character set handling - code. - FM -* Made all the dummy libwww headers in WWW/Library/Implementation - compatible with the new, actually used, headers in /src. - FM -* Fixed some bad ifdef-ing for statusline string definitions which - were added to userdefs.h. - FM -06-15-96 -* Added many more userdefs.h definitions for statusline() and HTAlert() - messages. - FM -* Tweaks of ALT string handling when they are used as forced link names - for USEMAP, AREA, IMG, EMBED or APPLET sources. - FM -* Oops, hadn't put the new HTML.h in the zip. - FM -* Fixed casing typo for HTCJK.h inclusion in HTMIME.c. - LWV -06-14-96 -* Updated the help files, lynx.man and lynx.hlp concerning the character - set handling. - FM -* Changed the -jpn switch to a generic -raw switch, and the LYK_JPN_TOGGLE - ('@') to a generic LYK_RAW_TOGGLE. The toggling also can be done via - the 'o'ptions menu, in conjunction with selecting character sets. See - the comments about CHARACTER_SET in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more - information. The toggle determines whether raw 8-bit characters in the - document are assumed to be ISO-8859-1, and therefore translated for the - non-"ISO Latin 1" character sets based on their LYCharSets.c arrays, or - are assumed to match the character set (e.g, 8-bit ISO-8859-2 when the - "ISO Latin 2" set is selected, or Kanji when a CJK set is selected) and - therefore processed raw. Use raw or CJK mode when you know the charset - of the document is a match to your selected character set, but no header - or suffix has indicated that the charset is not ISO-8859-1. Be careful - about this when "Other ISO Latin" is selected, since the document could - be, e.g., ISO-8859-3, but you are using, e.g., ISO-8859-5. - FM -* Added "Other ISO Latin", "Chinese", "Japanese (EUC)", "Japanese (SJIS)", - "Korean", and "Taipei (Big5)", character sets, which presently translate - 8-bit ISO-8859-1 named and numeric entities to 7-bit approximations, and - added a default "CHARACTER_SET" definition in userdefs.h, complementary - to that in lynx.cfg. - FM -* Worked in the expanded CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) escape sequence and - Kanji handling from Takuya ASADA's June 11, 1996 Lynx2-5CJK (available in - ftp://ftp.three-a.co.jp/pub/www/lynx). - FM -06-11-96 -* Tweak of the ftp gateway to handle Reflection Unix emulation servers. - FM -* Made lynx_version_putenv_command a global so we can free it at exit - via free_lynx_globals() in LYMain.c. - FM -06-10-96 -* Convert a 0xFFFF value from slang in LYgetch() to 7 (^G) to cancel - whatever called it, instead of exiting on error. - FM -* Tweaks of Makefile to use symbolic, $(include) and $(lib) paths with - ncurses for convex, NeXT and sun4, and for SOCKSLIB. - LWV -* Tweaks of mail editor handling based on patch from Arne Riiber - (riiber@systek.no). - FM -06-09-96 -* Had overdone it plugging memory leaks and was freeing the proxy, news - server, and lynx version variables too soon. - FM -06-07-96 -* Moved the Kanji handling variables into HText structure elements to make - the GridText.c functions reentrant for them, and added code for regulating - them via charset parameters in server headers or META tags. The recognized - parameters are EUC-JP, Shift-JIS, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, and EUC-KR. - E.g., a META with: - HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=Shift-JIS" - will set up handling of the document as Shift-JIS. - FM -* Made handling of Kanji more reliable when SJIS is the default, based - on the strategy in Takuya ASADA's Japanized Lynx2-4-2. - FM -* K&Rized the Ichikawa ISO-2022-JP MIME header handling functions and added - them to HTMIME.c, together with Takuya ASADA's (asada@three-a.co.jp) - function for guessing whether an escape has been lost and filling it in, - and use them for checking news headers. - FM -* Retry DCL spawns without the TRUSTED flag if it was included and we - got back an INVARG status. - Robert C. Gray (gray@cyberodyssey.com) -06-06-96 -* Plugged lots of memory leaks. - FM -* Handle colons in code for expanding host names and prepending http:// - (e.g., wfbr:8002 will become http://www.wfbr.edu:8002/). - FM -* More tweaks of character conversions. - FM -* Block crashes if illegal markup such as Anchors are present in the - OPTION strings for SELECT. - FM -06-04-96 -* Mods of entity and end tag handling in SGML.c and LYCharUtils.c. - FM -* Tweaks of make target for sun4-slang. - NHE -06-03-96 -* More tweaks of the ftp gateway. - FM -* More anti-crash protections for bad HTML. - FM -* Tweaks of LYCharUtils.c and SGML.c. - KW -* Enclose the username for rlogin URLs in double-quotes on VMS to preserve - mixed casing if present. - Robert C. Gray (gray@cyberodyssey.com) -06-02-96 -* Made DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE and DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE configurable via - lynx.cfg. - FM -* Added comments in HTFTP.c to make more clear some of the counterintuitive - things being done, and why. - FM -* Oops, had left my ISSPACE() debugging macro in HTFTP.c yesterday. Is - now back to isspace(). - FM -06-01-96 -* Added support for ;type=I (or A or D) to specify Image or ASCII transfer - modes, or a Directory, in ftp URLs. - FM -* Added support for VM/CMS ftp servers. Note that 'd'ownloaded text files - will have CRLF as line terminators, due to their use of ASCII records - (tested on ftp://pucc.princeton.edu/anonymou.376). - FM -* Added support for use of a tilde on Unix ftp servers to indicate that you - want a listing of the user's login directory instead of the root (i.e., - ftp://user@host/~ or ftp://user@host/~username will cause Lynx to attempt - a listing of the translated ~ or ~username). Paths can be appended (e.g., - ftp://user@host/~/subdirectory). This should not be used with anonymous - ftp, or in public documents. It yields the behavior on Unix or Unix-like - ftp servers which should occur without the tilde, based on RFC 1738. Note - that the valid behavior involving use of %2f is implemented for VMS (see - the 12-20-95 entry, below), but the behavior for Unix and Unix-like ftp - servers emulates Lynx's Unix DIRED_SUPPORT. - FM -* Mods of CSO/PH gateway to deal with discontinuous field name tokens - (e.g., "NYU fax" instead of "NYU_fax"). - FM -* More fixes for the putenv_command pointer in LYMain.c. - CC -* Add curly braces to the current hack for mininizing reversals of - trace messages with slang. - KW -05-30-96 -* Modified the http:// prepending code to try expanded host names if the - the first (or only) element does not contain a dot and is not a known - host name. Will first try it as www.host.com, then www.host.edu, then - www.host.net, then www.host.org, e.g., wfbr/dir/lynx will become an - http://www.wfbr.edu/dir/lynx URL. - FM -* Added handling of MSDOS_SERVER ftp server type (tested on ftp.hayes.com) - and corrected WINDOWS_NT_SERVER handling (tested on ftp.boca.org). - FM -* Reset any modified, non-HT-LEFT styles in HTML_free() if they were not - reset in HTML_end_element() due to missing end tags. - FM -* Initialize the putenv_command pointer in LYMain.c. - Christophe Colle - (colle@krtkg1.rug.ac.be) -* Include LYLocal.h in LYCgi.c. - Carl Hansen (hansen@best.com) -05-28-96 -* Made all mainloop() statusline() message strings definitions in userdefs.h - for easier modification to other languages (we'll move them to a catalog - someday 8-). - FM -* Added string definitions in userdefs.h for statusline messages identifying - active or DISABLED radio buttons. - FM -* More tweaks of character conversions. Note that numeric entities with - values greater than 255 are displayed as text, until we are able to - handle them as Unicode. - FM -* Implemented ID handling for BDO. - FM -05-27-96 -* Added nested handling of Q, so that it alternates between double-quotes - and single-quotes, with directionality of start and end single-quotes - (should someday check the LANG and DIR attributes, and character set, - to use other quoting conventions if appropriate). - FM -* Use [DEL: ... :DEL] labeling to indicate DEL content, and [INS: ... :INS] - labeling to indicate INS, S, and STRIKE content. - FM -* Added ID handling for ABBREV, ACRONYM, AU, AUTHOR, BIG, DEL, INS, Q, S, - SMALL, SUB, SUP and SPAN. - FM -* Added code to clear the screen of any trace messages directed to the - screen, once the full page has been created. - FM -* Added code to minimize slang's casting of trace messages as reverse when - directed to the screen instead of a file. - FM -05-26-96 -* More tweaks of character conversions. - FM -* Added submit_enctype elements to the forms structures as will be needed to - implement INPUTS with TYPE="file" (someday 8-), and set disabled for FORM - fields if the ENCTYPE is multipart/form-data, until we can handle that - (someday 8-), so the user won't fill out the FORM pointlessly. - FM -* Made the third argument of SLang_init_tty() 1 so that '\n' will be treated - as CRLF when trace messages are sent to the screen instead of to a file. - Might cause problems with the slang screen management functions, but - doesn't seem to according to KW. - FM -05-25-96 -* Mods to pass 8-bit control characters entered via the line editor. They - should be assumed to be valid if the user entered them, and could indeed - be valid for Japanese and Russian. - FM -* Check for a NULL return value from initscr() on Unix. - Geert Jan de Groot - (GeertJan.deGroot@ripe.net) -* Tweaks of character conversions, and of 8-bit character handling with - slang. - Klaus Weide (kweide@tezcat.com) -* Added TRUSTED_URL for specifying lynxexec and lynxprog URLs which always - are permitted, based on patches from David Drum (david@more.net). - FM -05-21-96 -* Made the LOCAL_DOMAIN symbol configurable via lynx.cfg. - FM -* Added descriptions of the quality (q=) and maxbytes (mxb=) parameters - in the sample mailcap file. - FM -* Added a maxbytes element to the libwww presentation and converter - structures, and code for specifying a maximum for mailcap entries via - a semi-colon-separated mxb=value field, where "value" is a positive - integer (e.g., ; mxb=1000000). The default is 0, meaning no maximum. - If the value exceeds 0, a maxbytes parameter will be appended in the - Accept: header for the Content-Type. - FM -05-20-96 -* Added code for specifying a quality parameter for mailcap entries via - a semi-colon-separated q=value field, where "value" is a floating point - number (e.g., ; q=0.002), and for appending the quality parameters in - Accept: headers if the values are less than 1.0. - FM -* Treat screen width as 80 for the startup page when doing traversals with - a slang-build Lynx to prevent a crash. - FM -05-19-96 -* Mods in HTML.c to make resolving of local file URLs more efficient. - FM -* Tweaks of Makefile for slang. - Ed Doolittle (dolittle@math.toronto.edu) -05-18-96 -* Added FRAME elements and attributes to the DTD, and code for creating - links to the SRCs. - FM -* Added numerous sanity checks for valid but inappropriate combinations - of attributes based on the HTML 3.2 DTD. -05-17-96 -* Added support for TYPE and VALUE attributes of LIs in OLs. TYPEs - are equivalent to those for OL, and VALUE is equivalent to START - or SEQNUM for OL. See the 11-28-95, 10-17-95, 09-19-95 and 09-04-95 - entries in this file. If a TYPE is changed via an LI, the change - persists for subsequent LIs of that OL. The VALUE set for an LI - similarly increments for subsequent LIs in that OL. - FM -05-16-96 -* Made SGML_character() in SGML.c fully reentrant. - FM -* Set up capturing of marked sections, and DOCTYPE, ELEMENT, ATTLIST and - ENTITY declarations in SGML.c. Lynx doesn't do anything with them yet, - besides reporting them in trace mode, but they at least won't create - garbage in the display if they start being used for the "next generation" - of clients. - FM -* Set up base code for CSIs (Client Side Includes, homologous to SSIs). - See the comments for LYDoCSI() in LYUtils.c. It should be moved to a - separate module if someone wants to work on CSIs seriously. LYDoCSI() - is called from SGML.c if the document was obtained via a file URL on - the local host and has comments that begin with "!--#". - FM -05-15-96 -* Add a MIME charset parameter to POST Content-Type headers if it's not - ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII and the server included the parameter when it - sent the form (but don't do it simply on the basis of the user's current - character set, because if the server didn't include the parameter, it's - CGI script probably won't parse the client header either, and will return - an error instead of processing the form submission). - FM -05-14-96 -* Tweaks for Unixware and addition of a unixware-slang Makefile target based - on patches from Thanh Ma (tma@encore.com). - FM -* Tweaks for SCO and addition of an sco5 Makefile target based on patches - from Bela Lubkin (filbo@armory.com). - FM -* Include ;q=0.001 for the wildcard (*/*) Accept header. - FM -05-13-96 -* Added support for a host field in news URLs, analogous to that for nntp - URLs. Though illegal according to the current RFCs, discussions with a - W3C member about this Netscapism indicate that Lynx may as well support - it now, rather than continue failing when it is encountered. - FM -05-12-96 -* Added an explicit GetYX definition for slang in LYForms.c. - FM -05-11-96 -* Eliminated the NCURSESINCDIR compilation symbol and added NCURSESHEADER, - so the default now is to seek ncurses/curses.h and -DNCURSESHEADER invokes - a seek for the (now obsolete 8-) ncurses.h. - FM -* Added an explicit GetYX definition for slang in LYStrings.c (now avoids - reference to stdscr). - FM -* Mods in tcp.h for TCPWARE builds on VMS with DECC. - FM -05-08-96 -* Fixed typo in Makefile entry for linux. - LWV -05-07-96 -* Added LYPassHighCTRL boolean for passing normally illegal 8-bit control - characters, and set it TRUE when the KOI8-R character set is selected - (note that they also are passed when Japanese character support is - toggled ON). - FM -05-06-96 -* Mods in SGML.c to handle "<URL:" as text instead of an unknown tag. - FM -05-05-96 -* Added typecasts of the third arguments for the getsockname() and - accept() calls in HTFTP.c to void pointers, to avoid conflicts with - their declarations as int versus unsigned int across platforms and - flavors. - FM -* Renamed the for-VMS opendir(), readdir() and closedir() to HTVMSopendir(), - HTVMSreaddir() and HTVMSclosedir(), and the for-UCX ioctl() to HTioctl(), - to avoid possible conflicts with their additions to newer versions of - VMS and UCX. - FM -05-04-96 -* Fixed typo which was placing a space instead of a slash between the - User-Agent name and version. - Tim Rowley (tor@cs.brown.edu) - ---- STARTING 2.5FM --- ---- Rename of Lynx2-4-FM and release as Lynx2-5 (02-May-1996) --- - (see CHANGES2-5, CHANGES2-4 and CHANGES2-3) -============================================================================== diff --git a/docs/CHANGES2.7 b/docs/CHANGES2.7 deleted file mode 100644 index 559ebd25..00000000 --- a/docs/CHANGES2.7 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,831 +0,0 @@ -======================================================================= ---- Release of Lynx2-6FM as Lynx v2.7 (February 15, 1997) --- -======================================================================= -1997-02-15 -* Release of Lynx2-6FM as Lynx v2.7. - FM -* Included -Ae when compiling the Implementation modules for the snake3 - target. - FM -1997-02-14 -* Mods to issue an alert about a BASE tag not having an absolute URL only - once per document. - FM -* Added code for appending LYNX_SIG_FILE to email messages as well as to - news posts or followups, and updated the Users Guide accordingly. - FM -* Updated build-slang.com. - FM -1997-02-12 -* Fixed some problems in the code for using a hookless Lynx image with - snew_proxy, snewspost_proxy, and snewsreply_proxy set to - "nntp://host:port/" so that it uses Tom Zerucha's (tz@execpc.com) - daemon which handles the SSL communications on behalf of the Lynx - image. Also polished up all of the news gateway code, and added - comments for the benefit of new developers. - FM -* Added an ECGOTO command mapped by default to 'G', complementary to the - GOTO command (default 'g'), to edit the current document's URL and then - go to it. Using case-sensitive letters with different command definitions - ensures that both will appear with their brief explanations in the 'k'eymap - listing. For ECGOTO, Control-G, failure to modify the URL, or complete - deletion of it, all act as a cancel. If the current document has POST - content associated with it, a warning will be issued before offering the - URL to edit. The POST content is retained if the modification merely - involves a change in fragment for the URL. Otherwise, the modified URL - (if it has an http scheme) will be submitted with method GET and no POST - content. If the ECGOTO command is not cancelled, or not simply a fragment - change, the modified URL will be added to the 'g'oto buffer, and can be - re-accessed, to edit further, via the GOTO command. See the updated online - 'h'elp for more information. - FM -1997-02-10 -* Amplified the comments concerning deletion of prototypes for MultiNet - socket library functions as they get added to MultiNet's own headers - in newer versions of it's socket library. - FM -* Added a missing fclose() in post_article() of HTNews.c, and added code - to delete the temporary file there, so it's gone as soon as we're done - with it. - FM -02-09-97 -* Enhanced the Set-Cookie header parser to handle values that contain - spaces but were not enclosed in double-quotes, and to use such - quoting or not when sending Cookie headers, depending on whether - this was done in the Set-Cookie header. Also added anti-crash - checks should the parser's efforts to handle both historical (a.k.a. - original Netscape) cookies and Version 1 cookies go awry (does deal - successfully now with all the cookies which had been reported as - problematic). - FM -* Mods of the screen handling in LYNews.c for cleaning up any screen - trash created by the external editor. - FM -* Tracked down an uninitialized pointer in LYNews.c that probably was - behind reports of crashes when posting to newsgroups. - FM -* Plugged a memory leak in LYMainLoop.c. - TJC -* Added posting ability to the news gateway, in lieu of the previous, - variably reliable, use of a spawned news client for posting. The - news, nntp, and snews URLs now all return links for posting new - messages or followups (replies) to the server from which a newsgroup - listing or news article was retrieved, unless the server indicates - that it does not accept posts from the site at which Lynx is running. - See the updated INSTALLATION, userdefs.h, and lynx.cfg files, the - "USENET News posting" section of the Users Guide, and "Supported URLs" - page of the online 'h'elp for more information. -* Fixed typo for e-dieresis in the KOI8-R charset. - AJF -* Replaced an inappropriate _user_message() call in HTConfirmCookie() - of HTAlert.c with a _statusline() call. The original code could - cause crashes with some cookie values. - FM -02-06-97 -* Added support for both hex escaped and unescaped white characters - in lynxexec and lynxprog URLs. Normally, Lynx strips out any white - characters that are not hex escaped in attribute values that are - to be resolved as URLs, on the assumption that they were derived - from wrapping in the markup. Any serial white characters in - lynxexec and lynxprog URLs are condensed to one space (' '), and - any lead or trailing white characters are trimmed. Note that we - still require hex escaping of spaces in mailto URLs, e.g, - HREF="mailto:lynx-dev@sig.net%20(I%20found%20a%20bug.)". - FM -* Removed the 'e' switch from tar commands in LYLocal.c for greater - portability across all supported Unix flavors. - FM -* Expanded the information in the PROBLEMS file on how to deal with - DECC and MultiNet header incompatibilites for different combinations - of the VMS compiler and socket library versions. - FM -* Added TRACE message of the edit command created for the system() - call in LYEdit.c. - LWV -* Fixed a typo in the userdefs.h comments. - NHE -02-04-97 -* Mod in LYMainLoop.c to bypass mailing "not found" messages when - MAIL_SYSTEM_ERROR_LOGGING was set TRUE (which it should NOT be, - indescriminately) if the document's owner is the lynx-dev list. - FM -* Added crash protection checks for the actual presence of anchors - in all HText structure anchor scans in GridText.c, based on a crash - report and suggested fix for one of them from Jonathan Sergent - (sergent@hillres55-129.cc.purdue.edu). - FM -* Eliminated the typecast for ttytype (apparently varies across flavors, - and each flavor should know it's own typing; we'll see) in LYCurses.c, - and moved VMS system definitions with non-ANSI conformant tokens to a - separate header for VMS (LYVMSdef.h). - BL -* Made the description of HISTORY in the 'k'eymap page more clear that - it invokes a list of the "suspended" documents currently held in the - history stack. - DC -* Typo fixes in the help files and lynx.cfg. - LWV -02-03-97 -* Today's distribution is a pre-release of v2.7. The projected official - release date is 02-15-97. All header, help and documentation files, - and the top directory name, have been updated for v2.7. - FM -* Made xli, which is freeware, the default XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND for Unix - in userdefs.h (still xv on VMS, since its port is freeware), and - expanded the "self-documentation" to indicate where to get this - freeware. Added XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND as a configuration symbol in - lynx.cfg, so that the compilation default can be overridden on - systems which have and prefer xv (all users can override the default - mappings for image helper apps via their mailcap files) - FM -* Added a -base command line switch which can be used with -source or - -mime_header to prepend the request URL as a comment, and a BASE tag - (which may or may not be the same as the request URL, depending on - HTTP/1.1 headers) for text/html documents, equivalent to the prepend - kludge for 'd'ownloads (see 09-20-96 mods). - FM -* Added a check for an "ORGANIZATION" environment variable for inclusion - as a news post header on Unix (all system logicals intended for news - post headers automatically are included on VMS), and a sleep() before - restoring curses mode after the post, to allow reading of any error - messages from the news software. - FM -* Fixed bug which yielded a "[LINK]" instead of "[INLINE]" pseduo-ALT - for ALT-less IMG tags used as the content for NAME-ed Anchors without - an HREF. - FM -* Portability tweaks for the mini inews utility. - FM -* Fixed an old and irrelevant typo in HTWriter.c. - JS -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 - freeing them on exit (should help for memory-limited systems 8-). - FM -* Tweaks of DIRED_SUPPORT. - KW -12-02-96 -* 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 -* Tweaks of BASE resolving. - 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 -11-30-96 -* Added the ability to set the advanced mode for multiple bookmarks from - the options menu and save the defaults in the .lynxrc file - HL -* Various typo corrections including one which kept LYMainLoop.c from - compiling under Unix when DIRED_SUPPORT was defined. - HL -11-29-96 -* Numerous additional refinements and enhancements of the multiple bookmark - support. Added support for REFRESH and PREV_DOC in the options and bookmark - menus, and NEXT_PAGE, PREV_PAGE, and ACTIVATE in the bookmark menus or - prompts. Expanded the anchor and document structures to keep track of - different bookmark files in conjunction with VIEW_BOOKMARK, ADD_BOOKMARK, - and DEL_BOOKMARK commands, to restore the proper bookmark files on reloads - (overt, or because the cache was dumped for subsequent documents accessed - via bookmark links), and in conjunction with security-related restrictions. - Multiple bookmark support can be regulated via MULTI_BOOKMARK_SUPPORT, - BLOCK_MULTI_BOOKMARKS and ADVANCED_MULTI_BOOKMARKS symbols in userdefs.h - (or as SITE_DEFS in the Makefile) and lynx.cfg. The multiple bookmark - support can be blocked via a -restrictions=multibook command line switch, - which is also set for -anonymous and -validate. Prompting or display of - the bookmark file selection menu occurs only if bookmark files in addition - to the startup default have been defined (via the B)ookmark command in the - 'o'ptions menu, if mu(L)ti bookmarks has been turned on; the setting and - definitions can be saved in the .lynxrc file). Plugged memory leaks in - the previous implementation of multiple bookmark support. Added code for - inserting the current description and filepath for each bookmark file - dynamically during rendering. - FM -* Another tweak of attribute order in HTMLDTD.c. - KW -11-28-96 -* Tweaked multiple bookmark support to fix an error which was causing a - crash on some systems and incorrect behavior on others - HL -* Tweaked editing of multiple bookmark filenames to correct shifting of - screen between multiple pages - HL -11-26-96 -* Added support for setting the rendering of SELECT OPTIONs as popup menus - versus radio button lists via the 'o'ptions menu, and saving the default - in the RC file. Changed NO_SELECT_POPUPS to USE_SELECT_POPUPS in lynx.cfg - and userdefs.h. The -popup switch still overrides everything. - FM -* Added multiple bookmark support along the lines of the patch from Filip M. - Gieszczykiewicz (filipg@paranoia.com), plus numerous enhancements of the - 'o'ptions menu and bookmark handling. - FM -* Tweaks of attribute orders in HTMLDTD.h and HTMLDTD.c. - KW -11-25-96 -* Updated the "Lynx Enhanced Pages" links to the new "Lynx links" - (http://www.crl.com/~subir/lynx.html) throughout the help, docs, - and code. - FM -11-24-96 -* Modified the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" handling to indicate the - Content-Type with charset parameter, when known, within each part - rather than in the main Content-Type header. - FM -* Corrected typo in HTNews.c. - FM -* Added support for setting the suggested filename in 'd'ownload and - 'p'rint options based on the Content-Disposition header if it included - the string file; filename=name.suffix in its value. Can be used by - CGI scripts to set the suggested filename for saves to disk, downloads - or mailings of the script's reply body, so it won't be the last symbolic - element in the path field of the form's ACTION (which is normally the - the script, itself, or a PATH_INFO element, and thus misleading). - FM -* Tweaks of change_sug_filename() in LYUtils.c for better handling of - gzipped files on VMS. - FM -11-23-96 -* Added reporting of the Server, Date and Last-Modified headers, if present - in server replies, to the showinfo ('=') display. - FM -* Added the ability to store the NO_SELECT_POPUPS in the .lynxrc, but the - .lynxrc must be edited manually until the options handling is converted - to a form-like interface that accommodates more options. For now, select - 'O'ptions and write out the options with '>' to create a block in .lynxrc - with an explanation of the switch. The switch is "select_popups" and - can have the values of "on", "off", or nothing. If nothing, the default - set in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg will persist. Otherwise, "on" will set use - of popups and "off" will set use of radio buttons as the default. The - startup default always can be toggled via the -popup switch. - HL & FM -* Corrected a couple of typos in the help files. - HL -11-22-96 -* Added support for WHEREIS ('/') and 'n'ext searches within SELECT popups. - The buffering for 'n'ext is separate from that in the main loop (i.e., - for non-form field document searches), but all previously entered search - strings are still combined into a circular buffer and can be accessed via - the up-arrow or down-arrow keys at the prompt for a search string. The - searches within popup menus do not yield highlighting of the search string, - but simply positioning of the cursor on successive options which contain - the search string. - FM -* Added support for all of the navigation commands within SELECT popup - windows, including HOME, END, UP_TWO, DOWN_TWO, UP_HALF and DOWN_HALF, - in addition to the single line and paging navigation commands. - FM -* Added support for the REFRESH command within SELECT popup windows. - FM -* Tweak of hookless snews handling. - FM -11-21-96 -* Added handling of forms with ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data". Note that - we still don't support INPUTs with TYPE="file" or TYPE="range", and - thus still set the DISABLED attribute for all fields in the form if - either of those two TYPEs are present in it. - FM -* Tweak of -mime_header handling. - FM -* Typo fixes of comments in HTML.c. - Albert S Woodhull - (aswNS@hamp.hampshire.edu) -11-20-96 -* Added a NO_SELECT_POPUPS compilation (userdefs.h) and configuration - (lynx.cfg) definition, normally set FALSE. If set TRUE, single-choice - SELECT blocks (i.e., ones without the MULTIPLE attribute) will be handled - as a list of radio buttons instead of via a popup window. Also added a - -popup command line switch for toggling the compilation or configuration - setting. - FM -11-18-96 -* Tweak of LYFindEndOfComment() in LYCharUtils.c. - Brian Borowski - (brianb@braille.uwo.ca) -11-17-96 -* Added links to the lynx-dev hypertext archive at FLORA in the online - 'h'elp. - FM -* Tweaks of my_spawn() in LYLocal.c. - KW -11-16-96 -* Added support for use of the 'd'ownload command on TYPE="submit" and - TYPE="image" submit buttons. You still must use the History Page for - TYPE="text" INPUT fields that also act as submit buttons by virtue of - being the only non-hidden field, because the 'd'ownload command key - could be a text entry into the field, and thus must be treated as - such. - FM -11-15-96 -* Mods of HTFormat.c and HTTP.c for better handling of unexpected server - disconnects. - FM -11-13-96 -* Wind down the element stack on EOF if any unclosed tags were received. - FM -* Fixed typos in the HTMLDTD.c BODYTEXT definitions. - FM -11-10-96 -* More tweaks of hook-less snews handling. - FM -* Changed the default STARTFILE to http://lynx.browser.org/ and the default - HELPFILE to the v2.6 set at NYU in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM -* New function HTUnEscapeSome() in HTParse.c for unescaping selected - characters in a string.. - KW -* Numerous changes to make DIRED_SUPPORT work as intended, to use the - library's HTList functions and macros for managing the list of tagged - file URLs, and to keep track of proper levels of URL escaping so that - unusual filenames which contain #% etc. are handled properly. Can now - edit, move, etc. Abc%25252525def.html, #xy#~, etc. - KW -11-09-96 -* Treat 301 or 302 redirection of a POST as 303 when the Lynx process is - non-interactive, rather than rejecting the redirection, since 303 is - still most likely what the CGI script actually intends (will still - prompt if the process is interactive). - FM -* Added parsing and trace mode reporting of Content-Disposition headers - in HTMIME.c (should be used, someday, to set the suggested file name - for disk saves and downloads based on any filename=foo.blah field). - FM -* Further mods of HTNews.c to facilitate use of Lynx without SSL-hooks - in conjunction with an SSL-capable daemon/proxy for snews URLs that - returns NNTP streams for Lynx itself to convert into HTML, instead - of already converted streams as from a standard proxy. - TZ & FM -11-08-96 -* Changed information returned by "-version" in LYMain.c to point to - lynx.browser.org and added a date to the copyright info. - HL -11-07-96 -* Mods of HTNews.c to facilitate use of Lynx without SSL-hooks in - conjunction with an SSL-capable daemon/proxy for snews URLs. - TZ -11-05-96 -* Typo fixes in HTMIME.c. - KW -* Tweak of NSL_FORK mods. - FM -11-04-96 -* Tweaks of host parsing when a password and/or username is present - in override_proxy() of HTAccess.c. - FM -* Tweaks of the UNDERSCORES and STARS macro setup and useage to avoid - possible crashes for FORMs with long values. - FM -* Worked in Tom Zerucha's (tz@execpc.com) code for fork-based name - server lookups that can be 'z'apped.

The occasional absence of such spaces due to poor - HTML was problematic for blind users. Note that markup which uses - an image for a fancy letter with the ASCII letter as an ALT will - have that letter separated from the rest of the word. Also note - that these spaces will not be collapsed in PRE blocks, but IMG is - invalid in PRE blocks. The spaces could be omitted when IMG is - used invalidly in PRE blocks, but that would revive the problem - for blind users that they might not be present at all, so it seems - better to suffer extra spaces in such cases. - FM -1998-01-24 -* Tweak in HTAccess.c to reset the title element in anchors on forced - reloads. - FM -1998-01-22 -* Tweaks in HTML.c to prevent collapsing of blank lines within TEXTAREA - default values.

When PRE blocks are used to create - blank lines, you should get only as many as are actually included in - the PRE block, unless you include less than the number specified for - "before" the block to which you return, in which case you'll get the - latter number of blank lines. - FM -1998-01-13 -* Fixed a typo in the HTParse() code of HTParse.c for checking whether - a colon in the host field indeed delimits a port number. - FM -* Changed the internal MIME names for all Microsoft Windows codepages - from cp#### to windows-####, since the latter is used more commonly - as the charset value in META elements and/or Content-Type headers, - and most of them have been registered that way with IANA. Note, - however, that Microsoft uses cp instead of windows- prefixes in the - charset names for the Unicode conversion tables submitted to the - Unicode Consortium. Also note that we still treat cp, cp-, and ibm - prefixes as synonyms for the windows- prefix. - FM -1998-01-06 -* work around for 'keypad()' function w/o corresponding key defines - (reported by Francisco A.

Works like the - ECGOTO ('G') keystroke command for editing the URL of the current - document as a goto URL, i.e., if the URL is not modified, is set to - a zero-length string, or ^G is entered, the command is cancelled. - FM -* Mods of LYMainLoop.c to disallow ECGOTO or ELGOTO commands for File - Management (DIRED_SUPPORT) menu URLs. - FM -1997-12-15 -* Added reporting of the Discard value (YES or NO), in the Cookie Jar Page - (note that until we have code for storing cookies beyond the current - session, Lynx behaves as if Discard were set, whether or not it was set - by the server, but we still report the server's instructions, as we do - for the Maximum Gobble Date). - FM -1997-12-14 -* added a lynx.cfg switch to turn on/off extended dos translations for keys. - -WB -* added minor DOS tweaks by Doug Kaufman and myself. - WB -* fixed windows binary mode piping. - WB -1997-12-13 -* Tweaks in LYList.c to make the link numbers correspond with those in - the current document when LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED in on, - and to show the current document's URL in the display. - FM -* Mods in HTTP.c to show the body of a 305 return status instead of ever - acting on it. A number of security/privacy problems with this status - are being discussed in the HTTP-WG, and it's likely to be dropped or - deprecated in the next revision of the HTTP/1.1 specs. - FM -* Restored the v2.7.1 HTmmdecode() that's specific for iso-2022-jp in - HTMIME.c. We still only call it when HTCJK == JAPANESE, and the - generalized version reportedly has problems. - FM -* Removed the *stderr = LYOrigStderr; statement from VMSexit() in LYCurses.c - and added it to the if() claused section which closes the TRACE log file, - if opened, in cleanup() of LYClean.c. This is just a stab in the dark - for dealing with reported problems on exit with VAXC on VAXen. We may - need to use freopen() for redirecting TRACE messages to a file for VAXC - or VAXen (there's no apparent problem with the current code with DECC - on VMS/AXP). - FM -* Added more function key cases to the keypad() mode switch() in LYgetch() - of LYStrings.c. We don't need them with this code set, but they may as - well be there for completeness. - FM -* check for and use ncurses default-color extension, use to make the - color-style configuration usable on xterm with white background. - TD -* add cases in LYgetch() for remaining VT220-compatible codes, reported - by Michael Ritzert and FM. - TD -* add configure test to see if slang can be linked without curses or - termcap libraries, request by John Davis. - TD -* set umask in mkdirs.sh script to work around users who have set root's - umask to 077. - TD -* split up install rule to install-bin, install-cfg, install-man and - install-help. - TD -* suppress suffixes in top-level makefile so 'make' won't try to create - a file named "install" from install.sh - TD -* make $(CPPFLAGS) inherit consistently from top-level makefile. - TD - (reported by Mark Mentovai) -* add configure option --enable-externs, to turn on USE_EXTERNS. - TD -* use explicit comparison for enum values, fix compile problem with VAX C - for UCAux functions (reported by Brian Tillman). - TD -1997-12-03 -* Remove CHANGES.configure, since it is redundant. - TD -* Make -g3 option check for OSF/1 3.2 consistent with -Olimit check. - TD -* Use 'result' rather than 'time' in mktime.c to avoid shadowing. - TD -* Use wborder only if configure finds it, not ifdef FANCY_CURSES. - PHDM -* List of systems having strerror replaced by configure test. - PHDM -* Beautifying of mktime.c (`now' was misleading). - PHDM -1997-12-02 -* Mods in LYCookie.c to prompt whether to accept (or reject) cookies with - an invalid domain value which yields a hostname prefix with a dot (as - specified in section 4.3.2 of the IETF cookie drafts and RFC), rather - than rejecting it silently. Note that it is rejected in non-interactive - (-dump or -source) mode, because the user can't be prompted. - FM -1997-11-27 -* Added a PREPEND_BASE_TO_SOURCE configuration symbol in lynx.cfg which - can be set FALSE to suppress prepending of a Request URL comment and - BASE element to text/html sources retrieved for 'd'ownloading or passed - to 'p'rint functions. Note that this prepending is not done for -source - dumps unless the -base switch also was included on the command line, and - the latter switch overrides the setting of the PREPEND_BASE_TO_SOURCE - configuration variable. - FM -1997-11-25 -* Mods in LYMail.c and LYPrint.c to handle to=address(es), cc=address(es), - subject=string, keywords=word_list, and body=message fields in the - ?searchpart of mailto URLs as specified in the 1997-11-16 draft: - ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/draft-hoffman-mailto-url-03.txt - The cc=address(es) values are now handled as a Cc: header, and a self - copy, if confirmed on prompt, is added to the Cc: header. Note that - the draft now allows mailto:?to=address(es)[&foo=blah] as a format, - i.e., without an address before the ?searchpart. The Netscape - ?searchpart tack-on broke all pre-existing implementations of mailto, - and this breaks Lynx's support through v2.7.1. Though it's now - supported in this code set, don't use it. Complaints and formal - requests to provide this functionality via a new scheme (e.g., - mail: or smtp:) without breaking existing implementation of mailto:, - including from TimBL (HimSelf :), thus far have fallen on deaf ears. - You can send email to those deaf ears via: - mailto:masinter@parc.xerox.com%20(Larry%20Masinter) - Don't allow the IETF backward compatibility principle to go down - the drain. - FM -* Mods to support use of the PMDF SEND command on VMS in conjunction with - a temporary header file, so that all headers specified in the ?searchpart - of mailto URLs can be included in the mailing, and made that the compilation - default in userdefs.h to go with the default MAIL_ADRS mask for PMDF (If - the "generic" VMS MAIL utility is used, not all of the headers can be - specified on the command line, as it requires). Look at the code in - LYMail.c and LYPrint.c that is used when isPMDF is TRUE as a model of how - to do this with other header-file-capable VMS mailers (but I don't have - any besides PMDF, and can't do it for you :). - FM -* Tweak of the 1997-11-17 URL parsing mods so that relative symbolic - elements immediately preceding a ?searchpart are handled identically - to when a ?searchpart is not present. - FM -* Added support for setting both SYSTEM_MAIL and SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS in - both userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM -1997-11-23 -* integrate PHDM's patch. - TD -* Check for existence of sys/wait.h. - PHDM -* Do not include sys/stat.h twice. - PHDM -* New autoconf-macros to check if a function is declared after including a - specific set of files. - PHDM -* Declare strstr if it is not declared by string.h. - PHDM -* Declare getgrgid and getgrnam if not declared by grp.h. - PHDM -* Provide strstr and mktime implementations, and use them if needed. - PHDM -* Always include sys/types.h in HTUtils.h. - PHDM -* define NO_GROUPS if we do not have getgroups. - PHDM -* define NEED_REMOVE also if test yields unknown. - PHDM -* define mode_t if not done by system include files. - PHDM (phdm@macqel.be) -* change CF_UNION_WAIT to use compile+link rather than compile, to ensure - that we pick up the wait-macros rather than an implied function, which - should fix configure problems on NeXT for Francisco A. Tomei Torres - <fatomei2@mail.unm.edu>. - TD -* spelling nit from Larry Virden. - TD -* add osf3.0 to special case compiler options using -g3 in place of - -O -g, from Harsh Kumar <harsh@krcl.ernet.in>. - TD -* remove redundant "-c" option from $(installbin) in makefile.in, reported - by Michael Warner <warner@wsu.edu>, for OSF/1 4.0. - TD -* if configure --srcdir is not used, comment-out rmdir's in "make distclean" - rule. - TD -* modify recent erase/clear change so that it applies only to FANCY_CURSES, - since BSD curses does not otherwise clear the screen when restoring after - popup. - TD -* modify change for boxes so this builds with BSD curses, which has no - wborder() function. - TD -* reverse ifdef for NO_SIZECHANGEHACK to USE_SIZECHANGEHACK, which is - normally off, since this code did not work with BSD 4.4 curses, SVr4 - curses, or ncurses 4.1 with xterm. (Will make a configure test if anyone - can identify a configuration that works). - TD -1997-11-21 -* Changed LYE_LINKN to LYE_LKCMD (still mapped by default to Ctrl-V; may - need to be entered twice for some systems) for invoking a prompt to - enter any Lynx keystroke command when in form text fields. - FM -1997-11-20 -* Added an LYK_CLEAR_AUTH command, mapped to underscore ('_') by default, - which clears all authorization info for the current session. This is - recommended for the situation when one leaves one's terminal but doesn't - want to end the browser session, nor want others to be able to retrieve - protected documents with previously entered username and password info. - Note that we don't yet have a way to block access to any protected - documents which are still in cache. - FM -1997-11-19 -* Tweak of HTTP.c to ensure closing of the connection when interrupted - ('z'apped) on the first socket read. - FM -1997-11-18 -* Mods to use the explicit label "Bad HTML:" in trace messages corresponding - to BAD_HTML_USE_TRACE messages. - FM, KW -* Tweak of the restored TABLE-in-PRE block handling to deal with the - case when it's encased in a CENTER or DIV with ALIGN="center". - FM -* Changed docs/README.defines to refer to INSTALLATION file - HN -1997-11-17 -* Changed the default ASCII BOXVERT and BOXHORI definitions from '*' to - to '|' and '-', and new function LYbox() for non-VMS (n)curses. - FM -* Use explicitly specified characters for drawing the corners of popup - boxes with non-VMS (n)curses if we have also specified characters for - vertical and horizontal lines. - KW -* Mods in HTTP.c to trim any "LYNXIMGMAP:" leader from Referer header - values and strip the #fragment when making http(s) requests via links - in the pseudo-documents constructed for MAP elements. - FM, KW -* Mods of SGML parsing to better handle SELECT blocks with invalid markup, - in effect for both TagSoup and SortaSGML parsing (for the latter just - in case it doesn't already prevent invalid markup from being passed on). - Only OPTION elements are accepted in SELECT blocks. - Otherwise, if the element is a form-related start tag, the - SELECT block is closed and the new form-related element is started. - All other elements are ignored. A FORM end or start tag ends any open - SELECT block and the current FORM (before starting another FORM if - it is a start tag). Note that we now support SELECT blocks outside - of FORM blocks, which some providers are using for "informational" - popups, but no Lynx user would do anything that awful, right? - FM -* Tweak in LYMainLoop.c to override an LYresubmit_posts flag if we are - reloading a popped document due to a NOT_FOUND or NULLFILE return - value from getfile(). - FM - (But if the document that would be loaded after such a failure has POST - data and is not in memory, still jump to the PREV_DOC code, see enttry - for 1997-11-03. - KW) -* Worked in a variant of AJL's suggestion of setting LINES and COLUMNS - artificially high before the initscr() call with Unix curses, then - using a dummy call to size_change() for setting LYlines and LYcols - to the actual screen dimensions, so that increases in the screen size - during the Lynx session, and not just decreases, can be handled. - Note that one still needs to do a RELOAD (^R) overtly to create a - new HText structure based on the current screen size. - FM - (The new code can be disabled by defining NO_SIZECHANGEHACK, in case - some curses version or terminal cannot deal with it. - KW) -* Tweaks of the chartrans code. - FM, KW -* Change in HTNews.c to ignore very long bogus newsgroup names when listing - available groups. - KW -* Tweaks in code for highlighting search text in anchors, to better deal with - terminals in UTF-8 mode. - KW -* Mods to ignore anything past a '?' character when simplifying URL paths, - as is now more clearly specified in the Fielding URL draft. Note that - we still assume a ';' is not in fact a parameter delimiter, or won't - have a value with characters that could be misinterpreted as relative - path specs. - FM -* Increased the redirection limit to the original Lynx's value of 10, - because the HTTP/1.1 draft no longer will restrict it to 5, but instead - will leave it to the discretion of the browser (and I like 10, as a - reminder of the "good old days" :). - FM -1997-11-15 -* Mods of parsing in HTML.c to restore support for the TABLE-in-PRE-block - HTML kludge described in http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/tablejob.html, - which stopped working in conjunction with the 1997-05-21 mods (see below) - for treating TABLEs as DIVisions to support ALIGNment attributes in TABLE - markup. The PRE-in-TABLE-block HTML kludge was not affected by those mods - but works only with the TagSoup parsing mode. - FM, KW -1997-11-12 -* Made handling of the 'x' in hexadecimal character references (&#xH;) - case insensitive, as for the "alphabetic digits" (a-f, A-F). - FM -* Added a LINKN command key in the line editor, mapped to Ctrl-V, for - invoking the F_LINK_NUM prompt when in form text fields. Ctrl-V is - still a dead key under other circumstances in the line editor. - FM -* remove options --with-lss-file and --with-cfg-file, since the corresponding - files will always be installed under $(libdir), reported by Henry Eric - Nelson (HN). - TD -* modify configure script and makefile templates to permit builds with the - --srcdir option, noted by Philippe De Muyter. - TD -1997-11-08 -* Added Unicode support for "DosArabic (cp864)", "WinArabic (cp1256)", - "DosGreek (cp737)", "DosGreek2 (cp869)", "WinGreek (cp1253)", - "DosHebrew (cp862)", and "WinHebrew (cp1255)". Note that we still - have no code for taking DIR attributes, or directionality in general, - into account. - FM -* Mods to handle "cp-#" charset names as synonyms for "cp#", and some - cp# names as synonyms for "windows-#". -FM, KW -1997-11-07 -* Change of LY_SLrefresh() in LYCurses.c as suggested by JED - FM -* add logic to make install-directories as needed. - TD -* remove --disable-char-trans option (ifdef's still remain). - TD -* correct type used in first compile-test for union wait. - TD -* correct order of deletions in "make distclean" rule. - TD -* new versions of macros used to check for ncurses version. - TD -* don't suppress -I/usr/local/include when checking -I/usr/local/include/*, - to accommodate older versions of gcc. - TD -1997-11-06 -* Use erase() instead of clear() in some places, to avoid unnecessary full - screen repainting even for UNIX (and similar) curses. Renamed LY_SLclear - to LY_SLerase, but it is used for erase() and clear() now, so there should - be no change in behavior for slang introduced by this. - KW -* Added new format for lines in chartrans .tbl files: U+NNNN "a string" where - the string can have C backslash-escaped characters. This allows to write - replacement strings with 8-bit characters that won't be garbled when the - .tbl files are transferred in some non-binary way. Note there is no ':' - between the Unicode value and the beginning quote character. - KW -* Changes to HTMLDTD.c (for SortaSGML parsing) and HTML.c (second line of - defense) for dealing with invalid SELECT tags. Also tolerate SELECT - outside of forms. - KW -* Change in HTLocalName for DOSPATH so that it doesn't depend on whether - HTDOS_name returns a pointer to static memory or not. - KW -* Started new file docs/README.defines. Renamed CHANGES to CHANGES2-7, - removed duplicate 2-7-1 entries. Minor changes to INSTALLATION, other - files. CHANGES.chartrans is gone. - KW -* Tweaked color style stuff again. Statusline may behave better. - KW -* Don't use memmove for HEAD in HTNews.c. - KW -* For UNIX, use normal umask permissions, instead of the extra-cautious temp - file permissions, for files saved to disk by the default actions for PRINT - and DOWNLOAD. - KW -* Changes (untested) in the code dealing with reading of compressed files in - HTFile.c, in parallel to the code for other systems. - KW -* Mods to avoid va_start redefinition warnings when building with slang. - FM -1997-11-05 -* Change in LYForms.c to avoid full screen repaint after popup is retracted - for slang. - KW, FM -1997-11-03 -* Internal links code revised. Some details follow, but first a summary - of the basic premises. Links in a document given as href="#fragment" or - href="" (empty, but href attribute is present) mean something different - from href="url#fragment" or href="url" (where url is a non-empty absolute - or relative URL not including a fragment), they are internal links pointing - to an element or a location within the same copy of the document (or to the - document itself, for href=""). In contrast, a URL-Reference with a non- - empty URL refers to a (generally...) external resource. If the "url" - happens to coincide with (or, if it is relative, resolve to) the URL from - which the current document was retrieved, the current document is a - representation of the resource, but not the same thing. In most such cases - we can treat href="#fragment" and href="url#fragment" the same way, i.e. - activating such a link is interpreted as a request to reposition within - the current document; we are using the current document as a cache copy - of the resource (like we would other documents in the memory cache). But - if we have marked our copy as no-cache, it seems more consistent to treat - activation of a href="url#fragment" link as a request for retrieving a - new copy and _then_ locating #fragment in it, as we do for "any-other-url - #fragment" if we have cached a document which represents "any-other-url" - and which is marked no-cache. Following a href="" link should just result - in repositioning to the start of the document, not in a new retrieval for - no-cache documents. - If the current document is the result of a POST submission, there is in - general no way to refer to its underlying resource with a URL, since there - is no URL notation for "url+post_data". Internal links can be used within - the context of this document, but there is no way to hyperlink to it or - parts of it from "outside". A link to a href="url" or href="url#fragment" - target should always imply a GET retrieval, whether it occurs within a - document from a POST submission or not, for consistency. - This understanding also applies to other than <A href=..> uses of URL- - References in documents, for example the link implied between a USEMAP - attribute and a MAP element; but not to all uses, for example a FORM's - ACTION requires an external resource and not an internal reference, so - ACTION="" is resolved to an absolute URL (using a base URL if one is - given). - The semantics for URL-less URL-References are given in Internet Draft - <http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/draft-fielding-url-syntax-09.txt>, - including that "Traversal of such a reference should not result in an - additional retrieval action." No comparable prescriptions are made for - references which have a URL, in particular it is not stated that they - should be treated as equivalent when the URL coincides with or resolves - to the current document's retrieval URL. - The changes to the Lynx code attempt to implement what is outlined above, - by keeping track of how a link destination was originally specified. href= - "#fragment" and href="" links are still "resolved" into a "url#fragment" - and "url" form, for use internally, and if an explicit NOCACHE action is - requested, and for generating lists of links etc., and in general for use - outside of the context of the current document. - To the best of my knowledge they do not lead to unwanted (or misdirected) - resubmission of POST content without prompting the user for confirmation - (although the prompt texts probably need improvement). - KW -* The notion of the context of the "current document" is extended, so that - auxiliary LYNXIMGMAP documents generated by Lynx are within the scope of - the underlying document, i.e., the document containing the MAP and AREA - elements. Although they are treated as separate documents for display - and internal handling, following links between the underlying document - and its LYNXIMGMAP documents will result in display from cached data - (if available) even for no-cache documents, if a fragment-only (or empty) - URL-Reference was used in the HTML. This includes the link generated for - pointing from the IMG to the LYNXIMGMAP if the USEMAP attribute value was - was fragment-only; the LYNXIMGMAP is normally regenerated from the list - of MAP and AREA elements kept internally when a link to it is activated. - (Note that a LYNXIMGMAP screen is still not reloaded from external sources - even when RELOAD or NOCACHE keys are used, if data for the MAP is found - in the internal list; but that reloading the underlying document will - refresh the internal lists.) - KW -* List Page screens are also in the context of the underlying document, so - that internal links in the underlying document can be listed and activated - from the List Page. When following an internal link from a List Page, it - is not pushed on the history stack (similar to the History List Page), to - reduce the chance of confusion when walking back through history. - KW -* LYNXIMGMAP and List Page auxiliary documents can now be associated with - POST data. This does not mean that the data is posted to a "LYNXIMGMAP:" - or "file:" URL, which is impossible; but that the underlying document is - associated with the POST data. This way these aux documents can still - have links regarded as "internal" pointing to the document of which they - are logically a part, keeping track of what POST data are applicable if - several form submissions have occurred. Normally the underlying document - should be in the document cache when such a link is activated, so that - resubmission of the POST can be overridden. If it is not found, - resubmission may happen after user confirmation. Although the POST data - content is not shown on such aux pages, it can be inspected with the INFO - ('=') command. Note that the association of LYNXIMGMAPs and List Pages - with POST data automatically excludes them from various operations which - may otherwise be possible, such as bookmarking or inclusion in the - 'V'isited Links Page. Note also that such aux pages are treated internally - as different documents from their POST-free counterparts with the same - address, which might be generated for example after typing the address - at a 'g'oto prompt while viewing a different text. It may be possible to - generate confusing situations, but regenerating the displayed data (by - invoking 'L'IST again, or by following a LYNXIMGMAP: link) will always - show the currently applicable information. - For image maps, the change implements link-following capabilities which - come naturally to graphical UAs, which can handle IMG USEMAP and the - corresponding MAP elements from the same data stream as objects within - the same document instance. - KW -* To implement the above, MAP and AREA information from a POST response is - not kept in the global list shared by all other documents, but in a separate - list specific to the underlying (containing) document and the POST data. - The specific lists are managed with the underlying document's anchor - structure so that they can automatically expire after the anchor is removed - from memory and will not stay around and accumulate until session end. - KW -* POST data is kept in mainloop when following an internal link, but is now - always dropped for links that were given with a URL. This removes the - limitation by which a link in a POST response to the URL of the POST - submission script would be inappropriately converted to a resubmission of - the POST data. (example: search form from <http://www.marshall.edu/htbin/ - calendar>) - KW -* Changes to the PREV_DOC handling in mainloop. When encountering documents - that may need to be reloaded while walking back in history, because they - have POST data associated and are not marked "safe" and are either not found - in the memory cache or -resubmit_posts has been set, the user is prompted - for confirmation as before; if the reply is 'n' the document will be skipped - but if the user cancels with ^G the walkback operation is cancelled and the - currently viewed document remains loaded. Some of the aux documents which - can new be associated with POST data may be automatically skipped if their - document structures are not any more in memory. - KW -* When following a link marked internal from a List Page and confirmation is - required, ^G may also have the different effect of cancelling the operation - while responding 'n' may attempt to follow the link as a GET request (i.e. - with POST data dropped). - KW -* In some situations, automatic popping from the history stack in mainloop - after getfile fails to load a new document could lead to resubmission of - a previous POST request without prompting. This is now avoided by jumping - to the code handling PREV_DOC. - KW -* Use new LYinternal_flag variable for propagating info to HTAccess, rather - than overloading LYoverride_no_cache. - KW -* Tweaks for bad form tag soup with crashes on unclosed SELECT. Changes in - HTML.c and GridText.c to prevent memory leaks resulting from insanely - placed or unclosed form field tags, hopefully not introducing other - problems... - KW -1997-11-02 -* Changes in HTParse's scan to leave additional '#' characters alone after - the first has been found when scanning (from left) for fragments, and - to apply the "don't treat '#' as start of a fragment for some kinds of - URLs" hack only when the '#' will become part of what has been scanned - as a path. NNTP articles with more than '#' in the message-id are now - accessible with the "news:" or "nntp:" schemes. We should actually always - escape when generating URLs and unescape when parsing them instead. - KW -* Changed HTUnEscape to leave '%' alone if not followed by two valid hex - digits. - KW -* Allow the HEAD key and -head and -mime_header flags for "lynxcgi:" URLs - and for "news:" and "nntp:" URLs that specify a single news article. - KW -* Change to writing of POST data in LYCgi.c, to close file descriptor after - done writing and before reading as suggested by mhw@bcs.org.uk (Mark - H. Wilkinson), and to check status from the write() call and retry if - needed. Note that the code is not appropriate for handling large - amounts of POST data, since it still first does all the writing and - then all the reading. - KW -1997-11-01 -* Added support for presentation of text/plain files in SOURCE ('\') mode, - homologously to text/html files, rather than treating the command as a - synonym for 'd'ownload when viewing a text/plain file. Note that if the - text/plain file has no long lines, the display of it will not change, - but otherwise, the long lines will not be wrapped in SOURCE mode, and - thus can be 'p'rinted without line wrapping. One still should use - 'd'ownload for a faithful copy of the file, i.e., without charset - conversions and expansions of TABs. - FM -1997-10-30 -* Get numbering of links on List Page right, by faking hidden links for - form fields which get counted but are not selectable. - KW -* Allow LYNXHIST: links in List Page since the History Page may get - 'L'isted... - KW -* Mods of HTML.c parsing to close any open Anchor or emphasis elements - at the starts of TABLE elements, as the Big Two's TABLE handlers appear - to do now. - FM -* Tweaks of charset handling via META elements and CHARSET attributes. - FM -1997-10-29 -* Tweak of SortaSGML DTD for insane HTML with FORM start before HEAD. - KW -* Prevent memory leaks from HTChunks for option and textarea with very - bad markup, added TRACE and BAD_HTML_USE_TRACE warnings for those. - KW -* Don't call tigetnum("ncv") for _WINDOWS - BD -* Added Unicode tables for the "DEC Multinational", "Macintosh (8 bit)", - and "NeXT character set" display character sets. - FM -1997-10-28 -* Disable setting of the `reloading' flag in HTLoadDocument which would - generate no-cache headers for request where this is not appropriate. - KW -* Memory leak for first OPTION in SELECT removed. - KW -* Changed HTDOS_name to not return pointer to static area. - Binh Do - <bdo@mailman.epnet.com> -* Changes to INSTALLATION file. - HN -* Fix in HTMIME.c to recognize Content-location. - KW -1997-10-27 -* Don't disable FORMs that have INPUTs with TYPE="file" or TYPE="range" - since those fields may be optional and the rest of the FORM may be - valid to submit. - FM -* Updated links to www.w3.org in help files. - KW -* Some changes for DOS compilation. - DK -* Changes to INSTALLATION file. - HN -* Tweaks of internal links stuff. - KW -* Allow HEAD on URLs starting with LYNXIMGMAP:http by stripping the - prefix. - KW -* Reverted LYCheckForCSI() to previous incarnation. - KW -1997-10-26 -* If compiled with -DDONT_TRACK_INTERNAL_LINKS, behavior with respect to - internal links as in FM's code. - KW -* Some chartrans tweaks. - KW -1997-10-25 -* Changes to INSTALLATION file. - HN -* Make temp file names conform to 8+3 naming convention for DOS, and - give LYNX_TEMP_SPACE priority over TEMP and TMP for DOS. - DK -* Create temp file names with '-' char as separator between pid and - sequential number for non-8+3 systems, to prevent (unlikely) - collision. - KW -1997-10-24 -* Change in HTML.c to use the base (rather than current document, if the - base differs) in all cases for form ACTIONs (i.e., if the ACTION is - empty, or has a lone fragment, or an ACTION attribute is not included) - as specified in the -07 to -09 Fielding URL drafts. - FM -1997-10-23 -* Fixed a few typos and glued together a few URLs to make it easier for - folk to cut and paste them, in the new INSTALLATION file. - LV -1997-10-22 -* Many locations of files changed, about_lynx/ directory and references to - aboutfilepath removed, userdefs.h reorganized, changed README, new - INSTALLATION file, doc changes, some doc files removed. - HN - (Removed paragraph in README which doesn't apply yet, some files still - not done - KW) -* Patch to WWW/Library/djgpp/makefile - WS -* Added entity names from HTML 4.0 draft to extra entities in HTMLDTD.c - KW -* Understand lists in ACCEPT-CHARSET attributes. Added a list of forms - to GridText structure (currently underused). - KW -* Don't try to use box drawing chars in UTF-8 display mode. - KW -* Changed chartrans mechanism (UCdomap.c, makeuctb.c) so that the "default" - translation table is now used as a fallback for other translation tables. - This also applies to display character sets which do not have a chartrans - table file but are listed in LYCharSets.c. Changed syntax of table files - (see src/chrtrans/README.format), added a keyword to disable using the - fallback. Currently def7_uni (corresponding to "7 bit approximations" - and the MIME charset "us-ascii") is used as default table, as before; - but previously the default table didn't have any real meaning. - Conceptually every translation table (unless it disables fallback) is - extended as if it included all the replacements from the default table. - Note that mappings for some characters in the default table file still - differ from the old mappings given in LYCharSets.c, and what is displayed - e.g., for umlaut characters may not be consistent, this still has to be - sorted out. It may just have become more visible now. - KW -* Tweaks to some replacement strings in def7_uni.tbl; contributions of - more useful strings would be welcome... - KW -* Removed mappings for invalid chars from some chartrans files, removed - Ethiopic chars from iso01_uni.tbl. - KW -* Some other corrections and tweaks for chartrans mechanisms. - KW -1997-10-21 -* Fixed handling of Control-D (delete character under the cursor) in the - line editor when the cursor is at the end of the line instead of on a - character in the string being edited. - FM -* revised tests for wait/waitpid/union-wait. - TD -* correct/update handling of default prefix in CF_WITH_PATH macro, used for - parsing --with-cfg-file and --with-lss-file options. - TD -* add uninstall target to top-level makefile. - TD -* remove redundant install options from $(INSTALL_DATA). - TD -* add configure --with-lss-file option - TD -* minor cleanup of gcc warnings, ifdefs. - TD -1997-10-20 -* Mods in the CSO/PH gateway to set the anchor's safe flag to TRUE so the - user need not be bothered with confirmation prompts on resubmissions of - the search form. - FM -* Tweaked the break point setting code in GridText.c for CJK di-bytes - so that one is set after a recognized "ESC(" ISO 2022 escape sequence - has been found. - FM -1997-10-16 -* Tweaks to recognition of Japanese (better recognize x-euc-*), and to - the mechanism in GridText.c keeping track of which encoding is used for - Japanese. The state for this is now reset on explicit '\n' and '\r' - received by the HText object in addition to space chars. - KW -* Tweaks in HTTP.c to avoid access to uninitialized memory and pacify - paranoid dbx. - KW -* Try to more consistently remember the charset in effect for a document - when going to SOURCE view, using new LYUC{Push,Pop}Assumed functions. - Note that this is only in effect immediately when switching to SOURCE - view; any later reloading while within SOURCE view (including those - caused by RELOAD, RAW_TOGGLE and other keys, or by Options Screen changes) - may still revert to the usual assumption about charset, which means a - charset specified in a META tag may be forgotten at that point; this may - be considered a feature... - KW -* Refer to TagSoup and SortaSGML parsing (coined by FM), rather than "old" - and "new" DTD. - KW -* Made some of the changes concerning and removal and location changes of - files proposed by HN. - KW -* Restored LYCheckForCSI example function to its previous form, with a check - added and comments added. - KW -1997-10-15 -* Changed the order of display character set entries for the options menu - popup. "ISO Latin 1" and its "DosLatin1 (cp850)" and "WinLatin1 (cp1252)" - equivalents come first, then the system-based charsets (note that I - changed "IBM PC character set" to "DosLatinUS (cp437)"), then the CJK - and Vietnamese charsets, then "Other ISO Latin" (probably don't need - that one any more), then the known ISO 8859-# charsets with their - homologs (e.g, Dos and Win Cyrillic and KOI8-R) in groups, then - "UNICODE UTF 8" and the Unicode mnemonic charsets. - FM -* Various fixes for color style code, should prevent memory corruption. - KW -* Some LYCharUtils.c cleanup. - KW -* Added some of the changes from fotemods to SGML.c, especially handling of - ‌ as allowing a line break, and conversion to UNICODE UTF-8. - KW -* Mods in code handling mailcap lines, to avoid access to invalid memory. - KW -1997-10-12 -* Added LYLeakSACopy and LYLeakSACat to LYLeaks.c. Running Lynx compiled - with LY_FIND_LEAKS defined will now give the source locations where - StrAllocCopy and StrAllocCat are used, if those create leaks. Added - missing include of LYLeaks.h in LYCookie.c. - KW -* More heavy tweaks in LYCharUtils.c. Associated changes in HTChunk.c - (new functions), small change for -raw (in connection with attribute - values) in SGML_character. LYCharUtils.c is still a work in - progress... - KW -* Tweaks to allow some chars as data input (0x97, 0x9b, 0xa0) if the - current display character set seems to have those values as printable - characters (by testing LYlowest_eightbit[]). - KW -1997-10-11 -* Mods in HTFTP.c to recognize NetPresenz server (variation of AppleShare - claiming to be Peter Lewis server?, try current ftp://www.unicode.org/), - and to show server's identification from initial greeting on info - screen for FTP URLs. Other cosmetic changes in HTFTP.c. - KW -* Fixed various memory leaks. - KW -* Some more minor cleanup tweaks for color style code. - KW -* Avoid unnecessary pauses if TRACE is on and a Trace Log file is in use. - KW -1997-10-10 -* Renamed lynx_help/keystroke_commands/ directory to lynx_help/keystrokes/ - for the benefit of DOS, and changed references accordingly. - KW -* Changed parsing of command line options for -lss file, it should now - be used and override the default from userdefs.h or environment variables - as advertised. - KW -* More tweaks and cleanup in HText_SubmitForm. - KW -* Code to recover from memory exhaustion, sometimes. The requests for - dynamic memory which heuristically most often fail for lack of memory - when rendering large documents are the calloc() calls in split_line. - They are replaced by LY_check_calloc() which has the same calling - conventions as calloc() but additionally checks if "enough" memory is - available for the requested amount plus some margin and tries some - remedial action if this is not the case. The additional safety margins - are required to make it likely that other allocation requests in other - places of the program won't fail before the next check. The actions - which may be taken in order to avoid exiting if low memory is detected: - (1) Try to unload cached documents (other than the one currently being - loaded), until we seem to have enough memory. (2) If that fails (or - there are no other documents cached in memory), try to fake a 'Z' key - interruption; this will have the same effect as if the user had pressed - 'Z' so it will only detected if some other part of the program tests - HTCheckForInterrupt() and acts on it. (3) If this seems not to be - sufficient to stop loading, halt appending of normal text data to the - document structure (A warning *** MEMORY EXHAUSTED *** is appended - instead). - KW -* A tweak of color style memory allocation. - KW -1997-10-09 -* Some more tweaks from FM for VMS build - KW -* For DJGPP compilation, src/chrtrans/makefile.dos - WS (Bill Schiavo - <Wschiavo@concentric.net>) -* Some cleanup in Hext_SubmitForm (needs more). Start using ACCEPT-CHARSET - (doesn't recognize list yet, only recognized if on the INPUT field that - causes submission). - KW -* Added two test files for iso-8859-2 charset. - KW -* Tweaks in LYMainLoop.c for various keys that page up, to better preserve - keep the current link selected if possible and to correct a glitch with - UP_LINK. - KW -* Reorder text/html and text/plain to the beginning of HTPresentations list, - so they will be found more quickly and will appear at the beginning of - Accept request header fields. - KW -1997-10-08 -* add logic to implement mouse button 2 "previous document" for - ncurses configuration. - TD -* add dependencies on 'lynx' to top-level 'all' and 'install' rules - in makefile.in - TD -* add osf4.0 to special case compiler options using -g3 in place of - -O -g, for Heikki Kantola <hezu@iki.fi>. - TD -* correct some of the uninitialized-variable warnings. - TD -* Removed the compilation of the old libwww-FM HTAlert.c module for VMS, - as previously removed for Unix. - FM -* Added comments and tweaks of build.com, build-slang.com and libmake.com, - (and a complementary tweak of tcp.h) to make more clear how compiler - definitions and compiler and linker options can be added. - FM -1997-10-07 -* Changed PROBLEMS file for ^Z and for "forgetting emphasis of link text" - problem (which shouldn't occur any more). - KW -1997-10-05 -* Changed SGML.c parsing of unrecognized and invalid start tags. If the - '<' character in HTML is followed by a 7-bit letter character, we now - do tag parsing even if the element name is not recognized, instead of - going to 'S_junk_tag' mode, so that a '>' embedded in an attribute value - (which may also be part of a CJK character's encoding) will not - prematurely end the tag. (But "soft double-quotes parsing" mode is - recognized.) Treat a '<' followed by most other 7-bit chars as data, - i.e., recover it and the following char. - KW -1997-10-04 -* Corrected check for empty string at beginning of LYUnEscapeEntities. - KW -* Squeezed option for "Assume charset if unknown:" into Options screen. - It is selected with a control char (^A), is only available in Advanced User - mode, and the value is currently not saved into .lynxrc with '>', i.e. - for a persistent change lynx.cfg has to be modified (or use an alias or, - for DOS, a batch file to call lynx with -assume_charset=...). The - interaction with the Raw M(O)de setting may be confusing (or confused :) ), - and it is possible to set nonsensical values that have no effect. - KW -* Changed order and criteria of transformation attempts in HTPlain.c to - be more like SGML.c. For plain text KOI8-R would use 8-bit stripping - to early. HTPlain_write still is too different from SGML_character... - KW -* Reinstate the slash after special interpretation of /~ at beginning of - file URL path for DOSPATH - DK -* Changed SGML_character to not try to convert attribute values to UTF-8 - if HTCJK is in effect (arrggh!) - KW -* Changed effect of -raw / '@' for CJK display character sets: it now toggles - the effective charset assumption between that specified with ASSUME_CHARSET - or -assume_charset (or iso-8859-1 if none given) and the charset that - corresponds to the selected display character set, as for non-CJK. An - exception is made if both charsets are CJK charsets, so that the toggle - will still have the function of toggling CJK mode on and off. Explicitly - specifying a CJK charset as assumed is currently not very useful, since we - cannot translate from that to other character sets. - KW -* Oh, by the way: compilation without defining EXP_CHARTRANS won't work any - more. Regard #ifdef EXP_CHARTRANS as some strange kind of comment for - now, until it goes away. - KW -* Write comment at top of .lynxrc file to make clear that it is different - from lynx.cfg, suggested by LV. - KW -1997-09-30 -* Changed order of display character sets on options screen a bit, and - corrected charset listings in lynx.cfg and userdefs.h files - KW -* Added comment on lynx.lss in userdefs.h, moved it. - KW -1997-09-27 -* Made TRACE messages which correspond to BAD_HTML_USE_TRACE warnings stand - out more by decorating them with ***** characters, so that users who - follow the BAD_HTML_USE_TRACE advice can more easily find the relevant - messages. - KW -* Reworked LYUnEscapeEntities() while loop into a (hopefully) more - understandable and consistent state-based switch, and integrated - LYUnEscapeToLatinOne functionality. - KW -* Non-ASCII characters in URLs and similar strings encountered in the HTML.c - processing (previously handled by LYUnEscapeToLatinOne) are now generally - URL-encoded, instead of doing this just for 8-bit characters which are - the result of entity expansion. There is no clear standard definition what - non-ASCII characters in URLs in HTML attributes (HREF etc.) actually mean, - especially if the transmission character encoding is something else than - iso-8859-1. Leaving them as the raw byte values as received runs against - the HTML i18n view that the transmission encoding is distinct from the - document character set and has to be (conceptually at least) decoded before - SGML parsing. It also won't work in general for entities that expand to - to Unicode characters which cannot be expressed at all in the currently - effective (or assumed) charset, and would lead to problems with displaying - URLs on the statusline or representing them in auxiliary screens or bookmark - files. So now we try to first transform to the document charset "as usual" - (undo the transmission encoding), then translate the Unicode value into a - sequence of (one or more) byte values which are then URL-encoded. Since - character values > 255 cannot be expressed in a byte, always use UTF-8 - for them. It may not be what the author intended, but should be at least - consistent between internal (fragment) HREFs and NAME (or ID) attributes - in the same document or set of documents. Since this is dealing with - bytes currently disallowed in URLs, it falls under error recovery. But - the handling should be roughly in line with current Internet Drafts - (draft-masinter-url-i18n-00.txt, draft-duerst-query-i18n-00.txt, - draft-ietf-ftpext-intl-ftp-02.txt). - For character values < 256 (but > 127) this isn't currently consistently - done, we may still be URL-escaping the byte value without UTF-8 encoding -KW -1997-09-25 -* Integrated the attribute and form field translation stuff from separate - code line. This is still a rough attempt. Needs testing and refinement, - for various character set situations, expect glitches and bugs. - KW -1997-09-24 -* Removed the compilations of the old libwww-FM HTInit.c and HTFWriter.c - modules for VMS, as previously removed for Unix. - FM -* Added other changes from FM's feedback for VMS. - KW -* Fixed a bug in the SGML unescaping of OPTION values. - FM -* Fixed a bug in the SGML unescaping of TEXTAREA text. - KW -1997-09-23 -* Fixed file 'E'dit command from dired directory listing, which I had - broken in 2.7.1ac-0.69. - KW -* Added -width=NUMBER option to specify line width for non-interactive - formatting (-dump output). Also used by -preparsed source mode. - KW -* Changed suffix mapping mechanism to deal with "real" content-encoding - parameters (gzip, compress) in addition to 7bit, 8bit, and binary. Added - a new field for brief descriptive text, so that the MIME type doesn't have - to be abused for this purpose, but left most settings in HTInit.c unchanged - for now. - KW -* Changes in HTFWriter.c and HTFile.c so that we don't forget the file type - and encoding information we already have for a compressed file when passing - control to HTLoadFile (possibly after uncompression). - KW -* Introduced FNAMES_8_3 symbol (for DOS 8+3 file system), and HTML_SUFFIX - which should be defined as ".htm" for DOS and ".html" otherwise. Various - tweaks to deal with systems with 8+3 restricted filenames, in general and - in connection with uncompression. - KW -* Applied diffs from FM for VMS, compared with recent fotemods. - KW -1997-09-21 -* Use 0.01 rather than 0.001 as the q value for inserted iso-8859-1 and - us-ascii charset parameters in Accept-Charset headers. - FM -* Added internal buffering of I.value elements in HTML_start_element() - of HTML.c. - FM -1997-09-20 -* Show HTTP header for all 2xx status codes (including 204-206) if requested - with HEAD or -head. - KW -1997-09-19 -* Modified the Unix "strange character" filter in exec_ok() of LYGetFile.c - to allow '+', '&' and '=' characters. - FM -* minor ifdef/declaration fixes required to build on IRIX 6.2, - SunOS (K&R) and VAX C. - TD -1997-09-18 -* Try again after interrupted waitpid() in LYLoadCGI(), as in LYExecv() - KW -* Tweak in LYKeymap.c to bypass the isalpha() test for non-ASCII values, - including values > 255 mapped to arrow keys, etc., when generating the - 'k'eymap display. - KW -* Changes to prevent many (but not all) compiler warnings about `const'. - Not that this is different from TD's recent changes. Also some other minor - tweaks relating to (gcc) compiler warnings. - KW -1997-09-17 -* Mods in GridText.c to use HTEscapeSP() for space-to-plus conversions of - name fields, and not just value fields, in submitted form content. Note - that some CGI scripts may still be doing plus-to-space restorations only - for value fields, and only hex unescaping for name fields, while others - may not be hex unescaping the name fields, so we may as well follow the - specs fully (and cross our fingers :). - KW, FM -* merge symbols 'has_color' and 'lynx_has_color' to simplify ifdef's, - and correct a problem building color-style configuration. - TD -* add configure symbol for ifdef'ing presence of waitpid, which - was stopping build on HP-UX. - TD -* correct the symbol that is defined by CF_SIZECHANGE test, noted - by failure to build SCO version after making an include for - <sys/ioctl.h> ifdef'd according to configure test. - TD -* corrected check for broken (pre-1.9.9g) ncurses versions so that - they can build with color support. - TD -* cache state of CF_NETLIBS so that rerunning configure will yield - the same results for network libraries. - TD -* Add configure test for HP-UX -lHcurses library. - TD -* Minor adjustments to names of configure-script variables, to make - them the same as other programs (e.g., tin-unoff). - TD -1997-09-16 -* Added code to JKT's and KW's mods in LYPrint.c to also handle VMS, i.e., - set the document's title as a logical on VMS (can be accessed via - f$trnlnm("LYNX_PRINT_TITLE") in scripts). - FM -* Smaller cleanups here and there - FM, KW -1997-09-15 -* Recover from bad sequence "<=" in SGML.c by outputting those characters - literally. - KW -* Try again after interrupted waitpid() in LYExecv(). - JED -* Some tweaks in new DTD, some doc typo corrections. - KW -1997-09-13 -* Changes in LYConvertToURL() for better handling of the case when the - pathname of the current directory (when Lynx is invoked) contains - unusual, URL-reserved characters (especially '#') and we test for - a relative but URL-encoded path. (no change for VMS) - KW -1997-09-13 -* Changes in LYStrings.c to enable keypad() processing for non-NCURSES - if HAVE_KEYPAD is defined. - KW -1997-09-12 -* Correct mismatch/omission of HAVE_TYPE_UNIONWAIT symbol from - change for wait vs waitpid. - TD -1997-09-11 -* Tweaks in HTMLGen.c for display of special characters and line breaking - with -preparsed. - KW -* Got rid of use of underlining together with reverse for non-current - links for (n)curses if color is not used. - KW -* Small HTMLDTD.c changes for new parsing. - KW -* Change in SGML.c to always recognize SOFT HYPHEN when given as ­. - KW -1997-09-10 -* Modify CF_WITH_PATH to allow substitution of --libdir and other - configure options pathnames, e.g., for --with-cfg-file. - TD -* Include lynx_cfg.h in userdefs.h to resolve redefinition reported by - AAC. - TD -* Remove Ultrix/sony_news -specific ifdef's for curses headers, - replace with configure-tests. - TD -* Remove AIX/NeXT/sony_news -specific ifdef's for wait vs waitpid, - replace with configure-tests. - TD -* Add/use CF_HELP_MESSAGE macro to visually break down the very long - help message into sections. - TD -* Move the development options to the beginning of the configure script, - to facilitate adjustment of compiler options (especially for Ultrix) - to reduce the number of spurious warnings from miscombining -g/-O - options. - TD -* Correct misplaced assignment to cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure.in, - which caused misconfigure against vendor curses, reported by Hynek Med - (Ultrix) and Roger Hill (HP-UX 10.x). - TD -1997-09-09 -* Added arguments to the multinet_htons() and multinet_ntohs() declarations - in tcp.h. - FM -* Tweak of the this_MIMEcharset[] and this_LYNXcharset[] checks in - makeuctb.c. - FM -* Replaced the index() and bcopy() with strchr() and memcpy() in the - putenv() for NeXT in LYUtils.c. - FM -1997-09-08 -* Added a -preparsed flag, to be used with -source or with SOURCE view. - When invoked with this flag, show HTML text as it is output from the SGML - parsing stage, regenerated via HTMLGen.c functions, rather than the usual - more raw rendering (in SOURCE view) or the original byte stream (as with - the -source flag, possibly with BASE information prepended). Lynx will - attempt to wrap the text to screen width (or 80 cols for the -source flag), - but will not always succeed. Unrecognized tags and attributes as well as - comments are dropped, attributes reordered, missing end tags supplied, - abd other changes made, showing how Lynx internally treats the document's - structure. This is probably most useful for debugging (of either Lynx's - parsing or of HTML documents, although a real validator should be used for - the latter!). It can also be instructive to switch the DTD parsing mode - (with the ^V key) while viewing preparsed source. - Note that this doesn't work so well now with character translations and - entity expansion don't work well now, showing some of the same problems - which appear for rendered documents and dropping some characters. Making - those problems of parsing more directly visible was one of the motivations - for this flag. Also note that META tags which may contain charset info - are never interpreted when using -source (with or without the -preparsed - flag), but when interactively switching to SOURCE view, Lynx MAY remember - that charset info from the previous non-SOURCE full parsing (again this - applies with or without -preparsed); the INFO screen should always show - the assumption currently in effect. - KW -* Updated some HTMLGenerator functions to use line wrapping logic found in - newer libwww versions, and further mods in HTMLGen.c. - KW -* Tweaks to use of chartrans stages, should now better preserve charset - info from META tags even in compressed HTML files. - KW -* Fixed a problem with LYCheckForCSI which could lead to crashes. - KW -1997-09-06 -* Modifications to allow the Lynx lynxcgi feature to process - PATH_INFO in addition to QUERY_STRINGS in URLs. DOCUMENT_ROOT - may be set by the user in lynx.cfg and is then passed as well. - If DOCUMENT_ROOT is set, then PATH_TRANSLATED is calculated and - passed as well. - JKT (J Kevin Ternes <jkternes@mindspring.com>) -* Changes to LYPrint.c to put the variable LYNX_PRINT_TITLE - into the system()'ed environment for use by post-Lynx, pre-lp - formatting scripts. LYNX_PRINT_TITLE is simply generated by - calling HText_GetTitle(). - JKT -* Corrections to JKT's mods (to avoid memory leaks etc.). Avoid - unnecessary stat() calls. Other fixes in LYCgi.c. Make - setting of HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET actually work. Now URL-unescape - the path in lynxcgi URLs before doing anything with it. - Better logic for when to check for restrictions, the previous checking - for !reloading could be easily circumvented. Also check whether - the full path including a possible PATH_INFO passes the restrictions - test by exec_ok(), to catch "../" segments. Don't try to handle - a non-executable lynxcgi URL as a file URL if there was a PATH_INFO - part, it gets too confusing. Strip '#' fragments from the lynxcgi - path, but leave the interpretation of '#' characters after a '?' as - before so that they are still regarded as part of the query or search - string. If PATHINFO is present, unescaped '#' characters in it will - still be rejected by exec_ok(). - KW -* added a bit of text about running ./configure to INSTALLATION - file - David Combs (<dkcombs@netcom.com>), KW -* Added a translation table for Vietnamese (VISCII), and associated code - changes. See the file viscii_uni.tbl. - KW -1997-09-05 -* Mods in LYGetFile.c to retain a fragment on redirection if the redirection - URL does not include a fragment. - FM -1997-09-04 -* Correct ifdef'ing for getbkgd function calls. - TD -* Correct ifdef'ing for remaining inline chmod calls. - TD -* Consolidate various logic for opening secure files into utility - functions, correcting portability problems as well. - TD -* Add configure option --with-cfg-file to override default location of - Lynx configuration file (requested by Laura Eaves). - TD -* Strip -g option from CFLAGS for the non-debug version of Ultrix - configuration (requested by Hynek Med). - TD -* Add configure test for HP "color" curses (noting that this cannot - possibly comply with XPG4 due to naming conventions, we'll expect - other problems with it). - TD -* Add checks to configure test for COLOR_CURSES to work around bug - report for HP-UX. - TD -* Don't cache configure options except where essential (e.g., the - setting of 'screen'). - TD -* Change some configure options to disable/enable for consistency. - TD -1997-09-03 -* Tweaks in HTML_put_string() and LYUnEscapeEntities() to deal with line- - breaks within attributes more consistently, and more independently of - which convention is used (CRLF, CR, or LF). - KW -* Tweaks to prevent a few compiler warnings. - KW -* Tweaks of the iso06_uni.tbl and iso08_uni.tbl files now compiled in. - Note that a replacement character or string to replace invalid or - unrecognized characters can be defined by mapping the Unicode value - U+FFFD, which is done here (for testing, and because these two charsets - have a lot of undefined code points). Also some mods in default 7-bit - table for some Hebrew characters and points. - KW -1997-09-02 -* Mods to include "ISO 8859-6 Arabic" and "ISO 8859-8 Hebrew" in the display - character set options (Note, though, that Lynx presently has no code to - deal overtly with non-Latin directionalities.). - DK, FM -1997-08-31 -* Mod of HTMIME.c to ignore any Content-Encoding header with a value of - "identity" (case insensitive). Shouldn't happen, but better safe than - sorry. - FM -1997-08-28 -* Correct a quoting error in CF_RECHECK_FUNC macro. - TD -1997-08-27 -* Further refine/correct configure macros for finding network and curses - libraries, adding CF_RECHECK_FUNC to simplify CF_NETLIBS. - TD -* Rename #define for NCURSESHEADER to HAVE_NCURSES_H, for consistency. - TD -* Add-back test for -lm to support slang shared libraries. - TD -* Modify test for disentangling ncurses library from mytinfo on FreeBSD - to workaround linker limitation. - AAC -1997-08-22 -* Fixed typo in LYReadCFG.c when checking for a NOVICE mode default. - JN - (Note that this and other lynx.cfg defaults which have 'o'ptions settings - are overridden when the 'o'ptions are saved to the RC file. - FM) -1997-08-21 -* Tweak to LYHistory.c to better remember last position on page. - KW -* Eliminated two more MIME types (application/html and text/x-sgml) from - the Accept header generated by default by setting the q-value to 2.0, - since there are more standard alternatives for these names. - KW -* Lower maximum length for generated Accept header lines from 1000 to 252, - to accommodate an incompetent Windows HTTP server. - KW -* Changed order of some functions in LYCharUtils.c (no other change there - yet). - KW -1997-08-20 -* Modify top-level install rule to depend on 'all'. - TD -* Suppress check for ANSI compiler when we are using gcc. - TD -* Use -g3 option in place of -O -g for Ultrix compiler --debug configuration - (request by Hynek Med). - TD -* Drop "-lm" library from slang configuration, since it does not seem to - be used. - TD -* Add configure --includedir and --oldincludedir values to header search - path for ncurses and slang. - TD -* Modify configure checks for ncurses and slang libraries to generate - -L options as required, using new macros CF_FIND_LIBRARY and - CF_LIBRARY_PATH. - TD -* Add substitution for CPP in src/makefile.in so that .c.i rule works. - TD -* Add configure test for lint program. - TD -* Add "make depend" target to generated makefiles. This is intended only - for use in editing/developing, since many of the header dependencies in - chrtrans are generated during the build process and cannot be determined - by makedepend in advance. - TD -* Add configure option --with-zlib. - TD -1997-08-19 -* Tweak of highlight() in LYUtils.c to ensure that split link names with a - soft hyphen are handled identically for slang, VMS curses and Unix curses - when such links are made current. - FM -1997-08-17 -* Use 0.01 rather than 0.001 as the q value for the global wildcard in - Accept headers. - FM -* Put up correct makefile for dos port (oops) - WB -1997-08-16 -* Mini tweaks for the win-dos ports. One fix for the pull down boxes - and the rest mostly maintenance. - WB -* Fixed a bug in LYNews.c which caused overwriting of the first three - characters in the Subject for a followup. - FM -1997-08-15 -* Hack in highlight() to preserve a '-' character at the end of line - within anchor text, which can result from splitting at the position - of a ­ or <SHY> or SOFT HYPHEN character. - KW -* Tweaks in print_wwwfile_to_fd print_crawl_to_fd to output a soft hyphen - character if it is present at the end of a line. For -dump, a raw - ISO 8859 SOFT HYPHEN character may be written if the Display Character - Set (default from lynx.cfg or saved value in .lynxrc) is an ISO 8859 - character set, but this may be overridden with the -raw toggle. - Otherwise represent soft hyphen with '-' as usual. - KW -* Modified the news gateway to try XGTITLE for wildcarded lists of - available newsgroups (e.g., news:bionet.* for the bionet hierarchy, - or news:* for all of its served newsgroups). If that fails, Lynx - retries with the old behavior of using LIST NEWSGROUPS and parsing - the reply itself for the desired groups. Note that LIST NEWSGROUPS - can take a wildcarded argument for some nntp servers, but not all, - so we don't risk it. - FM -* Fixed a bug in HTHandleAuthInfo() of yesterday's HTNews.c which could - yield an infinite while() loop. - FM -* Various tweaks in HTNews.c to HTHandleAuthInfo() and elsewhere, to - keep connections open more often in some common cases of non-fatal - errors, and also avoid trying to use the network socket after some - recognized case of closing by the server. Only based on some testing - with INN's nnrpd, not on any written specs. - KW -1997-08-14 -* Added nntp authorization (AUTHINFO) handling to the news gateway. - FM -* Added a "Loading cfg file '%s'." trace message in LYMain.c to indicate - the absolute path of the configuration (lynx.cfg) file which was used - at startup (if Lynx is invoked with the -trace command line switch). - FM -* Added code in HTFWriter.c to avoid calling HTLoadFile() on the temporary - file which results from decompression of a temporary file created by - HTCompressed(), if this would just result in making a copy of the file - and then invoking an external viewer. Instead the viewer command is - now invoked directly from the HTFWriter_free of the HTCompressed() - stream after decompression. - KW -* Added code in HTFWriter.c, HTFile.c, and HTFormat.c to support reading - of gzipped local files directly, using functions from the zlib library. - Note that gzipped files from remote servers are still first copied to - a temporary file before lynx can process them further, and an external - GZIP_PATH command is still needed at least for passing such files to an - external viewer, as well as for various DIRED_SUPPORT File menu functions. - To activate this code, the symbol USE_ZLIB has to be defined, it is - currently not set by the auto-config script. The zlib library may be - already installed on your system (probably called libz.a or libz.so.1 - or similar, the required header files are zlib.h and zconf.h), otherwise - it is available through <http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/>, it - appears to support all platforms for which lynx is available (including - VMS, DOS, MS Win32). Note that this library would probably also be - needed if in the future support for the HTTP/1.1 "deflate" content-coding - is added. - KW -* Don't send MIME types in Accept headers whose q values are outside of the - allowed range 0.0 <= q <= 1.0 - KW -* Tweaks in HTInit.c to use the official names for image/png and image/tiff, - but still support the image/x-* forms. - KW -1997-08-13 -* Tweaks of LYConvertToURL() in LYUtils.c and HTParseInet() in HTTCP.c - to deal more coherently with 'z'ap attempts during gethostbyname() - calls. - FM -* Tweaks of split_line() and HText_endAppend() in GridText.c to handle - trimming of spaces from the tails of link names more effectively. - FM -* Expanded the OL nesting depth and type counters to track up to 12 list - depths before punting to the lowest negative number. Note that the - indentations still are limited to 6 nested depths, so use the TYPE - attribute to distinguish OLs with deeper nestings. - FM -1997-08-12 -* Mods of LYMainLoop.c to maintain treatment of a local startfile as - text/html source when it does not have a suffix mapped to that MIME - type and the -force_html switch was used. - FM -* Added .phtml to the default suffix mappings for text/html. - FM -* Mods of LYCurses.c to avoid using /dev/tty arbitrarily for stdin on - Unix when compiling with slang versions greater than 0.99-35, based - on JED's suggestion to lynx-dev. - FM -* Tweaks of HTCheckFnameForCompression() in GridText.c to avoid warnings - from some compilers. - FM -1997-08-09 -* Changed the code of 1997-08-06 which modifies suggested filenames for a - 'D'ownload to be more cautious: don't remove a '.gz', '.Z' etc. suffix - if there is no header indication that we have a compressed file. Not - all servers and gateways (including the internal FTP gateway) detect - and label compressed content reliably. - KW -1997-08-08 -* Mods of HTTP.c so that download requests are converted to presentation - requests for interactive users, and traversal requests are converted to - cancels, when servers return non-success statuses with bodies which - should be displayed to interactive users. - FM -* Added the "DosCyrillic (cp866)" display character set to the chartrans - support, and tweaked the other Cyrillic charset tables. - AAC, KW -* Tweaked MULTI_SUFFIX support in HTFile.c, so that it now somewhat - works. Dunno whether it's useful for anybody. - KW -1997-08-07 -* Tweaks of yesterdays mods in GridText.c. - FM -* Correct storage class of variables in UCMap.h, from -warn-common linker - option. - TD -* Refine configure tests for acs_map, ttytype to accommodate broken linker - on FreeBSD 2.1.5 - TD -* Modify README.configure to indicate the associated definitions for - each configure option, as suggested by Klaus Weide. - TD -* Correct duplicate declaration of Current_Attr, which Linux linker ignores - (reported by Hynek Med). - TD -* Add -G7 option to Ultrix compiler options (request by Hynek Med - <xmedh02@lada.vse.cz>). - TD -* Add include for <sys/types.h> to utmp configure test (reported by Andrey - A. Chernov). - TD -* Add check for FreeBSD library mytinfo (reported by Andrey A. Chernov - <ache@null.net>). - TD -* Modify ./makefile.in so that 'all', the default target, will build the - Lynx executable. The old 'all' target is retained as "make help". - TD -* Modify src/makefile.in to allow development compiles within the src - directory. - TD -* Mask spaces in the bkgd (background attribute) calls for color curses to - make the color-style code work better with SVr4 curses. - TD -* Change workaround for 8-bit acs characters by adding to the initialization - a loop forcing the entries of acs_map[] to 8-bits. - TD -* Many minor tweaks for the DJGPP version by DK - WB -* A rename of about_lynx_dev.html to lynx_dev.html for 8.3 systems - WB -1997-08-06 -* Modified HTMIME.c and LYCharUtils.c so that setting of suggested filenames - via a filename=value pair in Content-Disposition headers and META elements - is not restricted to the file disposition type. - FM -* Mods in GridText.c, LYGetFile.c and HTAnchor.c so that suggested filenames - will have appropriate suffixes when 'd'ownloading, based on whether or not - the file is gzipped or Unix compressed. - FM -1997-08-05 -* Mods of the lead relative symbolic element stripping for http/https - URLs in cases for which they would persist when resolved to an - absolute URL. The latest URL draft is ambiguous about whether this - should be considered an error, and leaves the handling of it up to the - UA. So we now get rid of all lead relative symbolic elements from the - resolved http/https URLs, but no others, and still issue a Bad Partial - Reference statusline message. - FM -* Tweaks of title handling in LYMainLoop.c and LYShowInfo.c so that the - known title, or link name associated with ACTIVATE-ion, form submission, - or a HEAD request, will be used in the INFO ('=') display. - FM, KW -1997-08-04 -* Fixed header parsing in HTMIME.c so that "Safe:" is recognized. - KW -* Changed confirmation prompts for HEAD (']') commands acting on a POST - document, to reflect the fact that the POST request body will not - actually be submitted in a HEAD request. - KW -* Reset LYCancelDownload to FALSE at top of getfile(), to prevent delayed - effect which can otherwise occur. - KW -* Block URLs with port numbers outside the range of valid numbers in - getfile(). - KW -1997-08-03 -* Changed the NSL_FORK code in HTTCP.c so that the gethostbyname() call - is retried without forking if the child process exits without returning - enough data. Also added trace output, to show whether something - unusual has happened to the child process. - KW -* The IETF has indicated intent to adopt KW's "status 307" proposal for - dealing with the status 302 problems, so HTTP.c and HTAlert.c implement - that now. The 302 status is "General (temporary) Redirection" which - can be handled as 303 at the UA's discretion, so we do that in all cases, - rather than prompting the user whether to do that when the 302 is for - a POST submission. The 307 (and 305) for POST submissions invokes a - prompt whether to P)roceed or C)ancel, without the Use G)ET option. - The 301 is treated as permanent, normally, but for POST submissions - still is treated as temporary and invokes a prompt which includes the - Use G)ET option, because scripts written to empirical behavior may - still be expecting that (it's virtually never encountered in redirections - of POSTs, though, because the document containing the form typically - is redirected, so the user only sees the form if a local copy has been - made, and it would be best to C)ancel and get a new local copy of the - document from the correct http/https URL, to serve as a BASE for the - form's ACTION). - FM -* Changed the typedef for HTCoord in HTStyle.h from float to int, for - significant speedup of rendering on machines without floating-point - hardware based on DW's, KW's, BL's analyses. Note that this should - be taken into account when/if external style sheet support is added - for page formatting (e.g., for optimum handling by speech synthesizers - and braille interfaces), beyond the current emphasis on colorizing. - FM -1997-08-02 -* The cookie pre-draft has been adopted as an IETF ID, see - ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-03.txt - so the code for combining Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers has been - eliminated in LYCookie.c (see mods for 1997-07-31). - FM -1997-08-01 -* Fixed typos in LYCookie.c. - FM -1997-07-31 -* Mods of the cookie handling based on the latest pre-draft. Add a - Cookie2: $Version="1" header in any requests that use historical - cookies in the Cookie: request header, so that modern servers will - use Set-Cookie2 headers with modern cookies in their subsequent - replies. Limit the scheme for commentURLs to http or https, not - just to network servers (e.g., gopher is now barred too). Include - a $Port attribute in modern Cookie request headers if it was set - via a server's reply header. The pre-draft indicates intention - to drop the requirement to combine Set-Cookie2 and Set-Cookie - headers if both types were received. We're still combining them, - but based on bona fide one-to-one correspondence checks (which were - not specified in the earlier draft), so that's OK, and we'll get - rid of that needless overhead if the current pre-draft holds up - and becomes an official IETF draft. - FM -* Added a -nocc command line switch for disabling the Cc: prompt - for self copies of mailings. Note that this does not disable - any CCs that have been incorporated within a mailto URL or form - ACTION. - FM -* Added a NO_FORCED_CORE_DUMP compilation (userdefs.h) and configuration - (lynx.cfg) symbol, normally set FALSE, which if changed to TRUE will - block forced core dumps on Unix via abort() calls on fatal errors or - assert() calls on potentially fatal error checks. Also added a -core - command line switch for toggling the default. - FM -* Updated the documentation and 'h'elp concerning the new symbol and - switches. - FM -1997-07-30 -* Added workaround for curses with broken handling of 8-bit acs characters - (which may be used for drawing of popup boxes) to LYCurses.h. This fixes - box characters and attributes/colors for solaris curses used with linux - console as terminal. Currently it is not automatically enabled or - configured, but can be enabled by -DBROKEN_CURSES_8BIT_ACS. - KW -* Mod in HTFWriter.c to change the statusline appropriately when an - uncompression has completed. - FM -* Fixed code in LYOptions.c for the case when NEVER_ALLOW_REMOTE_EXEC was - not defined and ALLOW_USERS_TO_CHANGE_EXEC_WITHIN_OPTIONS was defined. - KW -1997-07-28 -* Avoid traversing the full list of anchors each time when HText_endAnchor() - is called with a non-zero anchor number, if that number corresponds to - the last anchor added to the HText structure. It is is the most common case - that HText_endAnchor() refers to the last anchor, and the only case that - could be handled correctly before FM's changes of 1997-05-13. Avoiding - the loop over the list of anchor can improve loading time significantly, - especially for large files with thousands of anchors. - KW -* Add progress display and 'z'appability for loading of local files. - They are activated only after a few hundred k bytes have been read. - Added define for HT_PARTIAL_CONTENT to HTUtils.h, used in above. - (The WWW Library 5.x uses HTTP-ish status codes like this throughout. - I find it much less confusing than -29998 and so on, and there's no - conflict in this case. - KW -* Minor LYUtils.c tweaks. - KW -1997-07-27 -* Changed code for checks in LYGetFile.c for URL schemes which should - be rejected when received as redirections, added checks for more - schemes. - FM -* Rename top-level Makefile to Makefile.old (it's obsolete) - TD -* Reduce top-level targets to one, 'lynx' - TD -* Move comments describing DirEd to README.configure from makefile.in, - leaving only the definitions that haven't been integrated yet. - TD -* Add configure options to enable/disable DirEd and its associated modes. - TD -* Add configure option to enable/disable char-trans support. - TD -* Correct sense of autoconf'd symbol for size-change. - TD -* Accommodate systems with obsolete ncurses.h in configure tests. - TD -1997-07-26 -* Changed the variable hline in LYUtils.c to hLine, so as not to conflict - with a curses function or macro. - FM -* Fixed an esoteric glitch in highlight() of LYUtils.c which could cause - the last character of a current link to receive WHEREIS search target - emphasis if it happened to be the first character of the target (though - perfection is unattainable, we should strive to achieve it :). - FM -* Changed the default value for STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS (lynx.cfg) to TRUE. - KW -* Made some of the additional checks introduced yesterday in LYMainLoop.c - for invalid links to internal dired URLs more strict, as they probably - were intended. - KW -* Added checks for some internal URL types, which should be rejected - if received in a server redirection, to LYGetFile.c. Maybe more types - should be added to the list. - KW -1997-07-25 -* Map charsets of the form "ibmNNN<...>" to "cpNNN<...>" in UCdomap.c - if not already recognized. Also recognize "windows-1252". - KW -* Compared the handling of 4-way "show color (&)" in the 'o'ptions menu - against FM's implementation, and made some changes (mostly in formatting, - variable and constant names and usage, ordering of statements) to aid - further comparison. The logic is still messy and needs further cleanup - and simplification, but seems to do what it should. Note that this - also handles color-curses, in a (hopefully) reasonable way. Command - line flags -nocolor and (if using slang) -color override a preference - found in the RC file. See updated "Lynx Users Guide" file and the - comments written to the RC file. - Documentation changes adapted from FM's changes. - KW -* Mods of the DIRED_SUPPORT to check the actual URLs of temporary files - rather than just their titles when filtering for spoofing attempts via - external files with internal URLs. Also recast the PRIVATE my_spawn() - to a PUBLIC LYExecv(), so that it can be used by any module (though - presently it's still used only by LYLocal.c functions). - FM -* Tweaks of LYCharUtils.c to handle Set-Cookie HTTP-EQUIVs in META elements - without risking crashes in LYCookie.c or HTParse.c. - FM -1997-07-24 -* Made "show color" option a 4-way choice, if compiled with color support - and if saving of options to a .lynxrc file is allowed. - KW -* Made changing file permissions with DIRED_SUPPORT work again; one of - the recently added checks in LYMainLoop.c was too restrictive. - Added protection to permit_location in LYLocal.c, similar to the changes - of 1997-06-24 to LYDownload.c. - KW -* Generate CANCELLED message when editing of a string value on the Options - Screen has been cancelled (typically with ^G), instead of an - inappropriate VALUE_ACCEPTED statusline. - KW -1997-07-23 -* Tweaks of the strtok() calls for textarea values in HTML.c, so that they - will never be repeated after NULL has been returned, and thus won't cause - linux-alpha to crash. - FM -* Make -nocolor command line flag work if compiled with slang. Note that - -nocolor is strong, it overrides all other reasons that might otherwise - turn color on. - KW -* Tweaks in LYCurses.c to ensure that slang library and Lynx flags for - whether color support is on stay in register. - FM -* Change the default in userdefs.h for SHOW_COLOR to FALSE for USE_SLANG. - Because of the different logic used for LYShowColor in the curses code - vs. slang code, setting SHOW_COLOR to TRUE makes it difficult to invoke - a binary compiled with slang so that color is not used on startup - (except by using -nocolor). - Note that reading show_color from .lynxrc is still commented out. - KW -* There is now a "trailing comment" handler in LYReadCFG.c. It treats '#' - as a comment token only if it is somewhere after the last colon for the - lynx.cfg entry and is preceded by a space or tab. - FM -* Added TT to the Utterly Tag and Attribute Soup group of HTML elements. - FM - (applies only to "old" DTD in this code set, as usual - KW) -1997-07-22 -* Modify curses popups in LYForms.c and LYOptions.c to use background color - from main window - TD -* Ifdef'd out the logic that saves "show color" to .lynxrc, since it is - deemed to be confusing to users - TD -* Merged FM's changes to the "show color (&)" toggle to save to .lynxrc, - support slang, update online documentation - TD -* Add error message to show actual context in error-checking for color - parsing suggested by Filip M Gieszczykiewicz - TD -* Check for/suppress duplicate -lsocket in network library configure - TD -* Remove HP-UX snake2/snake3 targets from makefile.in - TD -* Add configure script case for 'sequent', drop ptx, ptx2 targets from - makefile.in - TD -* Add logic to configure script handling of slang to suppress spurious - -Ipredefined when header location is given in $CFLAGS - TD -1997-07-21 -* Check for lynx_uses_color and LYShowColor in lynx_start_status_color() - and lynx_stop_status_color() of LYCurses.c so that the statusline - will appear reverse (or otherwise highlighted if the terminal doesn't - support reverse), if color support is compiled in but not currently - used. - KW -* Added comments on color usage to lynx.cfg. - KW -1997-07-20 -* Added command-line option "-nocolor" to disable color on terminals that - would otherwise support it. Added options toggle for colors, tested - with ncurses. - TD -* Remove option value from configure option "--with-color-styles". - TD -* Correct background of popups in LYOptions.c - TD -* Add configure check for compiler options to enable prototypes - TD -* Remove IRIX "-cckr" compiler flags. - TD -* Correct whitespace as per LPS: LYCurses.c, LYOptions.c - TD -* Tweaks of LYMainLoop.c in the code controlling how the document is reloaded - due to any changes in the 'o'ption menu which require a new rendering of - the document (but still without forcing a proxy cache refresh when that is - inappropriate; see the 1997-05-26 mods). - FM -1997-07-18 -* Mods in LYexit.c and LYCurses.c to ensure restoration of stderr (if it - was changed for output to the trace log) on all exits. - BL, FM -* Include an unsigned char typecast in the HASH_FUNCTION definition for - HTAtom.c - CK -* Modified change to is_url() of 1997-07-13 to check for the slash after - stripping any lead space characters. - FM -1997-07-16 -* Added the Windows Cyrillic display character set. - AAC - (Andrey A. Chernov <ache@null.net>) -1997-07-15 -* Added support for a commentURL attribute in cookies. This attribute is - under discussion in the HTTP-WG and not presently in the draft (see the - 1997-07-09 mods for the draft's URL), but would be extremely advantageous - for multi-lingual and non-English-speaking sites because the comment - attribute can have only ASCII characters in its value, whereas a request - for the comment via a URL in turn allows use of charset and language - negotiation for what the server returns. The value of the commentURL is - resolved and retained only if it's scheme points to a server (i.e., file - and special lynx URLs are rejected), and if it is retained, is included - as a link in the Cookie Jar Page. If commentURL is not ultimately - included in the revised State Management RFC, sites which wish to use - it could do a User-Agent check for Lynx (and any other browsers which - implement it). - FM -* Fixed a typo in HTCompressed() of HTFWriter.c so that the last dot in a - tentative temporary filename is sought via strrchr(), as is done for - HTSaveAndExecute() and HTSaveToFile(). - KW -1997-07-14 -* Yet more tweaks of the cookie support. We include $PATH and/or $DOMAIN - attribute/value pairs in Cookie request headers only when their values - were set explicitly via a server's Set-Cookie and/or Set-Cookie2 reply - headers (and the cookies are $VERSION="1" or greater). - FM -* Added support for IFRAME homologous (but not identical) to that for FRAME. - It is handled as a block with a blank line before and after style, and - with margins and default alignment inherited from the containing block, - division, or span. The IFRAME rendition always begins with an emphasized - "IFRAME: " label followed by the NAME attribute's value, if present, or - the URL for the SRC attribute, serving as a link for the SRC, followed - on a new line by any rendered IFRAME content. - FM -* Added handling of LEGEND elements. The content is rendered in place, - as for CAPTION elements, since we don't have multiple pass inlining - capabilities. Hopefully, if the LEGEND is intended to be ALIGN-ed at - the "top" or "bottom" of the associated insert, the author will place - the LEGEND element above or below it, respectively. Note that LABEL - elements similarly are rendered in place, and will be displayed - interpretably only if the INPUT to which the LABEL's "for" attribute - refers, immediately follows the LABEL element. - FM -* Added recognition of BUTTON elements, and handling of them (sorta :) - when they are TYPE="submit" or TYPE="reset" in forms. The default - "submit" or "reset" string, or the value of a VALUE attribute, if - present, is embedded in parentheses and used for the link, and the - content is simply rendered and displayed in place. Until we see what - kind of markup the real world puts in such elements, it's too risky - to try to use that rendition as the link. Also, the W3C's HTML 4.0 - draft presently is very fuzzy about whether, and if so, when, an IMG - element in the BUTTON content should be treated as an image map, so - the present code doesn't try to cast any submitted BUTTON name/value - pairs into the format for INPUTs with TYPE="image". When the BUTTON - is a script control rather than submit or reset button, a "[BUTTON]" - pseudo-ALT is inserted to warn users of its presence, but the form - is not disabled. The W3C's HTML 4.0 draft makes scripting intrinsic, - with no SGML-based fallbacks if it is not available or is disabled by - security-conscious sites. Dave Raggett of the W3C replied to criticisms - of this in www-html@w3c.org by saying that he wished it have been - otherwise, but "market forces" prevailed (Sigh...) - FM -1997-07-13 -* Changed is_url() to return immediately if the string to check starts with - a slash character. This prevents some false positives if the string - contains ':' characters. - KW -* Added support for "MACOS AppleShare IP FTP Server" to HTFTP.c. - Only based on and tested with (the current incarnation of) - <ftp://www.unicode.org/>. - KW -1997-07-12 -* Correct some build issues with the merge (ifdefs for the curses modules) - as well as minor fix for makefile distclean rule. - TD -* More refinements of the cookie support in relation to recent discussions - in the HTTP-WG, and for more fully effective protection against denial - of service attacks. If the same attribute appears more than once for - the same cookie, ensure that the first instance will be used. Limit - the total number of cookies across Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers - to 50 per server reply, and each cookie to a maximum of 4096 bytes. - FM -1997-07-11 -* Added support for hexadecimal character references (&#xH;) as proposed - in the W3C HTML 4.0 draft. - FM -1997-07-10 -* Synchronized the development code against the fotemods patches up to - 1997-07-06 (relevant changes listed below, as usual). Note that FM - has now included the chartrans code, but has eliminated conditional - compilation of it; however, in this code set setting "-DEXP_CHARTRANS" - at compile time is still necessary (but compilation without it has not - been tested). - KW -* Fixed character counting logic in display_line() for lines where - soft hyphens (­ or <SHY> or a soft-hyphen character) are used - for their intended purpose. - KW - NOTE: The W3C HTML 4.0 draft explicitly specifies handling of ­, - ­ (and now also ­) in the manner long implemented by Lynx - (i.e., as a truly soft hyphen), and not in the brain-dead manner - implemented by Netscape and MSIE. - FM -* Various tweaks of the cookie support to handle likely (based on past - experience in the real world :) abuses of Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 - headers from servers. Most importantly, apply sanity checks to the - values of port attributes so that any unquoted port list will not be - misinterpreted as the start of a new cookie within the port list. - Also added code to fold (CR LF TAB) Cookie request headers if they - contain a long sequence of cookies which would exceed 1024 bytes on - one line, since some servers suffer buffer overruns and crash in such - cases. - FM -* Modified HTNews.c to use HTmmdecode() and HTrjis() for the Subject and - Author strings in listings of news articles when using a Japanese display - character set. - HN -1997-07-09 -* Massive updating and revamping of the cookie support in accordance with - http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-02.txt - which is scheduled to replace RFC 2109 on July 15, 1997. Noteworthy - changes are that (1) the blanket port restriction is now lifted, and - sharing of cookies among servers with matching domains but different - ports is blocked only if a port attribute was included in the - Set-Cookie2 header (or Set-Cookie header, though it's not expected - there), with a value which defaults to the request's port, but can - be a comma separated list of ports, and (2) the blanket restriction - on sharing of SSL-encrypted (https) cookies with http servers is - lifted, and normally depends on the Set-Cookie or Set-Cookie2 header - having included a secure attribute. However, a configuration option - (see lynx.cfg) to FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE is now available, and the - compilation or configuration default can be toggled via a -force_secure - command line switch. - FM -* Make NOCACHE ('x' key) work as expected from history list for internal - links. - KW -* Removed bogus checking for a config file in home directory which had - been introduced into the development code. - KW -1997-07-08 -* Synchronized the development code against the fotemods patches up to - 1997-06-24 - TD, KW -1997-07-06 -* Implemented popup windows for the 'o'ptions menu, homologous to those - for SELECT blocks in forms. They are implemented when select_popups - is on, and include WHEREIS search and 123[g,p] features (very useful - for navigating the choice list of 28 display character sets :). Use - the F_LINK_NUM command ('0') to invoke the prompt for a choice list - number when in NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS mode. The popups are not invoked for - the simple, binary choice options. Also modified the options menu so - that the cursor is positioned to the left of choices when show_curser - is on (but it is still positioned initially at the endings of strings - when the line editor is invoked for options that have user-entered - values). - FM -1997-07-04 (KaBoom! :) -* Mods of HTMIME.c and HTFile.c to ignore Content-Type parameters other - than charset when charset is not present, as we do when it is present - and we know we can handle it. - FM -* Fixed bug in LYNews.c which could cause Lynx to crash when posting or - sending followups to news groups and the Organization header was - obtained from the /etc/organization file. - FM -* Fixed bug in LYEdit.c which could cause Lynx to crash when an editor - to which a line number is passed as an argument is used and there are - no links on the current page of the document to be edited. - FM -* Added information about the new $USER feature to the comments about - TEMP_SPACE in userdefs.h. - FM -1997-07-03 -* Tweaks of change_sug_filename() in LYUtils.c to make protections against - buffer overruns explicit within the function. - FM -* Tweaks of the #ifdef'ing in HTTCP.c. - FM -1997-07-02 -* Mods in LYDownload.c and LYPrint.c to treat a suggested output file - entry of "/dev/null" on Unix, and "nl:" or "/nl/" paths on VMS (case - insensitive), as a cancel (^G). - FM -* Mods in LYGetFile.c to include URLs with content from a form submission - with method GET in the group for which Referer headers are never sent, - because the content might include private (e.g., password or credit - card) information which should not be visible in Referer logs. - FM -* Added -G 7 to the LYFLAGS and MCFLAGS for the ultrix and ultrix-slang - Makefile targets when using the native ultrix compiler. - HM -* Added -DNSL_FORK to the LYFLAGS for all of the solaris2 and Linux - targets in Makefile. - FM -* The above two changes don't affect the makefile used by auto-config - KW -1997-06-30 -* Removed a redundant declaration in UCdomap.c which was causing some - compilers to balk. - FM -* Fixed typos in SGML.c which could cause echoing of numeric character - references for some of the display character sets. - FM -1997-06-29 -* Updated lynx.hlp, lynx.man and the online 'h'elp concerning the chartrans - support. - FM -1997-06-26 -* Tweak of the "tag and attribute soup" parsing mods in HTML.c so that the - PLAIN attribute works for UL blocks again. - FM -* More tweaks of LYMainLoop.c to issue informative statusline messages - about attempts to ACTIVATE, DOWNLOAD, or submit URLs or ACTIONs which - are disallowed in the current context and destined to fail, rather than - acting on them and generating actual failures. - FM -* Mods of LYmktime() in LYUtils.c to support dd-mm-yyyy format for expires - headers and cookie attributes. - FM -* Oops, hadn't included checks for whether there are links on the page - in this morning's LYMainLoop.c mods to ensure appropriate statusline - messages for attempts to bookmark special URLs that can't be bookmarked, - which could yield a crash it there aren't any. The checks are in there - now. - FM -* Added ability to bookmark links from the Lynx List Page, as from the - Visited Links Page, but not for those pages, themselves, since they - are temporary files. Note that Lynx List Page links will not have - the documents' titles, as do those in the Visited Links Page, unless - you've visited them before invoking the Lynx List Page. - FM -* Added explicit protections against buffer overruns in the LYDownload.c - handling of suggested filenames. - FM -* Changes in LYCurses.c, GridText.c, HTML.c, and LYUtils.c, and smaller - changes to some other files, to fix problems with RP's style code. - Color leaking should now be at least much reduced, and some possible - crashes avoided. - KW -1997-06-24 -* Mods in LYDownload.c to check whether the File= field in a LYNXDOWNLOAD - URL has the value that was inserted into the URL via the most recent - download options menu. This prevents spoofing with arbitrary LYNXDOWNLOAD - URLs entered via the 'g'oto or ECGOTO commands, or ACTIVATE-ed in a file - other than the most recent download options menu which was created by - Lynx internally. - FM -* Mods in LYMainLoop.c to ignore LYNXCOOKIE, LYNXDIRED, LYNXDOWNLOAD, and - LYNXPRINT URLs if entered via a 'g'oto or ECGOTO command, and to issue - a statusline message explaining that the special URL is not allowed as a - goto. This is just for informational purposes, and the above anti-spoof - mod is not dependent on it. - FM -1997-06-23 -* remove "Styles" identifier from Lynx version string in userdefs.h - since it causes "patch-o-matic" to choke. - JES -1997-06-20 -* Now that we add or subtract attributes for Unix FANCY_CURSES, as for VMS - curses and slang, the 1997-05-30 mods based on LE's patch for keeping track - of whether links occur in an underlining context, and if so, restoring it - when a current link is made non-current, should be extended to FANCY_CURSES - as well. So they are extended, now, in highlight() of LYUtils.c. - FM -* Added code in LYNewsPost() of LYNews.c for converting any EUC or SJIS to - JIS (ISO-2022-JP) in posts or followups to Usenet news groups if the - display character set is "Japanese (EUC)" or "Japanese (SJIS)". The mods - need testing by Japanese users, because the TO_JIS() function I added - long ago in SGML.c has not actually been used before. - FM -* Modified the hack in LYPrint.c for mailing HTML source so that it never - appends a charset parameter to the "text/html" value of the Content-Type - header if compiled without chartrans enabled. - FM, KW -1997-06-18 -* Added a check for nonsense LINES and COLS values in setup() of LYCurses.c, - homologous to the check in size_change() of LYUtils.c, and set LYlines and - LYcols to the 80x24 default if they're nonsense. The slang library and - most curses implementations do the equivalent themselves, but we may as - well make sure it's done. - FM -* Tweaks of the anti-spoof mods in HTFWriter.c for additional protection - against extra %s entries in viewer command mappings. - FM -1997-06-17 -* Came up with a low overhead way to restore the emphasis for WHEREIS - search targets when links are made current or non-current and the - target string starts before and/or extends past the end of the link - name (hightext or hightext2) string (see 1997-06-14 mods), so the - restoration works in that case as well, now. - FM -1997-06-14 -* Fixed a longstanding bug in highlight() of LYUtils.c which caused seeking - of a column position less than 0 and strange behavior when a link is made - current, if show_cursor is on and the link begins at column 0 (as can - happen in PRE blocks). We now position the cursor on the first character - of such links, so the current link will remain clear for those with speech - or braille interfaces. - FM -* Added functions in LYCurses.c, along the lines of those in the development - code, so that the [w]start_foo() and [w]stop_foo() functions no longer - just replace character attributes for Unix FANCY_CURSES, but now add or - subtract them as for VMS curses and slang. - FM -* More mods in GridText.c and LYUtils.c so that the handling of WHEREIS - search target emphasis when links are made current and non-current is the - full equivalent for Unix FANCY_CURSES of that for VMS curses and slang. - Note that the restoration of search target emphasis does not succeed if - the hit started before or extends beyond the link name (hightext or - hightext2 string). What it would take to succeed in that case as well - doesn't seem worth the overhead, but I'm still thinking about it. Also - note that we still do not emphasize search target hits, but only do link - or page re-positioning, for Unix curses when only standout() and standin() - are supported. In that case, standout() is being used for all links, - including the current (with the latter indicated via cursor position by - turning show_cursor on), so we don't want to create a totally confusing - situation by using standout() for search target hits as well. The code - is still designed to degrade gracefully when the terminal does not have - the capabilities of the curses or slang with which Lynx was built. - FM -1997-06-13 -* Tweak of yesterday's LYGetFile.c mods. Lost a lynx_edit_mode = FALSE - statement that is still needed when DIRED_SUPPORT is defined. - FM -* Mods in LYForms.c so that the cursor is positioned at the left of the - current option in select popup windows when show_cursor is on, as when - the cursor is used to indicate the current link in the main document. - This is important when Lynx is used with a speech or braille interface, - or a terminal which does not respond to the highlighting/color for the - current option. When show_cursor is off, the cursor is still positioned - to the right of the current option for curses, and is fully "hidden" in - the lower right corner for slang, so that the highlighting or color of - the current option can be used without the distraction of a blinking - cursor in the left-to-right reading field. - FM -* Added ability to change the show_cursor setting via the 'o'ptions menu - and to save that as the default in the RC file (otherwise, the default - is still that set in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg). The -show_cursor command - line switch toggles the default, however obtained, homologously to the - -popup toggle. Updated the online 'h'elp accordingly (option_help.html - and Lynx_users_guide.html). - FM -1997-06-12 -* Tweaks of the 1997-06-04 mods for restoring emphasis of WHEREIS search - targets in link names when they are changed to the current link or again - made non-current. When the link is made current, the first and last - characters of the link name never are emphasized, so they'll retain the - attributes/color for the current link, and the user can see (if sighted) - that the link was made current. With this change, the restoration of - emphasis also is interpretable with Unix FANCY_CURSES, so the block for - that is lifted. Note that I figured out why the bold+reverse+underline - combination doesn't work for that. The vanilla and this Lynx code are - not adding or subtracting attributes for their start_foo() and stop_foo() - functions (as is done for slang and VMS curses), but are replacing them, - so you always end up with the last attribute in a series of start_foo() - calls (underlining for the search target emphasis). I don't know if - ability to sum attributes applies to all Unix curses flavors for which - FANCY_CURSES is defined in the Makefile, so I left the Unix, non-slang - start_foo() and stop_foo() functions the way they are, for now. - FM -* Mods in LYGetFile.c so that any '~' in file URLs is handled as when in - startfile, home page, or 'g'oto commands. Only the first '~' is converted - to Home_Dir(), and only for the first symbolic element in the URL, and if - it is followed by a username, that username is stripped (so that the - "~username" becomes a reference to the home of the account running Lynx, - as if only '~' had been used, and can't be used as a reference for an - arbitrary home). Note that we don't do this stripping for ftp URLs, - because the ftp server should decide, itself, whether to grant access to - arbitrary homes, based on the username and password that were used to - log in. Note, also, that if the account running Lynx is allowed access - to the root of the file system for its home, then access to any arbitrary - home in that file system can be gained from there. Access to the root - never is allowed for file URLs in the for-VMS code, but depends on the - root's protection in the for-Unix code. Also, any arbitrary path in file - URLs will be attempted if it is specified as an absolute path. The - stripping of the username from "~username" in most cases on Unix only - protects against probing for homes in other file systems, without the - user knowing the corresponding absolute path. - FM -1997-06-11 -* Mods in HTAABrow.c, HTTP.c and HTAlert.c so that auth_proxy is no - longer a module wide global, and the structures which handle/create - authentication/authorization headers maintain separate setup trees - for proxy authentication/authorization versus for protected limbs of - http/https data trees (realms) on the same server. This ensures that - each proxy's template, which is the global '*' for all paths (that are - in fact full URLs) in its proxying requests, are kept distinct from - the templates for true paths of the protected limbs on the same saver, - even if the user fails to include that proxy in the no_proxy list, or - the server's WebMaster fails to do the equivalent configuration for - the server, and the realm names overlap. Also modified the prompt - strings for the username and password to be encrypted for protected - document requests versus for proxy access so that they indicate - explicitly whether the user's entries will be used for one or the - other. - FM -* Added a -pauth=id:pw switch for proxy servers, homologous to the - -auth=id:pw switch for protected documents, along the lines of AJL's - patch. Note that the -pauth value is used only for authorization - headers to the first protected proxy server encountered, and the -auth - value is used only for the authorization headers in document requests - for the first protected limb encountered. Now that we have an explicit - switch for proxy authentication, it should be used explicitly for that, - instead of still allowing use of the -auth=id:pw switch for either - (IMHO). Also, there's no serious need to make inclusion of the code - for handling these switches a compilation option, because they are only - available to users with shell access. Updated the help files concerning - these switches, and included advice to make sure any script files which - use these switches have restricted access. - FM -1997-06-09 -* More refinements of the code in GridText.c, HTML.c and LYCharUtils.c - for handling visible versus hidden links, blank lines, stripping of - the numbered brackets for links, and the interactions of these things - with soft hyphens. - FM -1997-06-06 -* Fixed typos in LYrcFile.c which caused failure to start two comments - on new lines when writing to the RC file. - FM -* Fixed a typo in the lead dot pair stripping code in LYLegitimizeHREF() - of LYCharUtils.c. - FM -* Tweak of code in GridText.c for handling soft hyphens so that we don't - display a hyphen if it's the first character in the line, or is preceded - by a space, even if it is followed by a newline. - FM -* Mods of the hidden link handling and numbered bracket stripping code in - GridText.c so that it succeeds no matter how many blank lines are in - the anchor content. - FM -1997-06-04 -* Mods in LYLegitimizeHREF() of LYCharUtils.c for dealing more effectively - with fragments which have illegal characters, as is becoming common due - to authoring tools such as Microsoft's Frontpage and Netscape's HTML - editor. The actual URL-reference is still handled so as to yield a - fully legitimate absolute URL, without any unescaped spaces, but the - fragment is checked only for problem characters such as tab or newline, - and otherwise is unmodified. (Try the vanilla versus modified code with - the http://www.cnib.org/library/ww_flw96.htm atrocity, brought to you - discourtesy of Frontpage. :) - FM -* Worked into the fotemods code use of bold+reverse+underline highlighting - of WHEREIS search hits for VMS curses, and slang on both VMS and Unix (with - or without the color mode on), and added code in highlight() of LYUtils.c - for restoring that highlighting when links are made current or non-current - if the string for the hit was contained within the string for the link (won't - be restored if the hit's string starts before or extends past the link's - string). Couldn't get any of this to work with curses and the solaris2 - target, so for Unix curses the hit string still is just underlined and - not restored when links are made current or non-current. - FM -* Fixed typo in the 1997-06-01 LYOptions.c mods. - FM -1997-06-03 -* Mods in LYList.c to skip setting up a list block for visible links if - the document has only hidden links, and in HTML.c to include a notice - about this with a suggestion to use the 'l'ist command. Try it with - the http://www.sony.com/ atrocity. - FM -* Tweak in LYMainLoop.c to fix a longstanding bug which would cause the - curdoc.line and curdoc.link numbers to be mishandled, and thus cause - the wrong page and current link to be restored on return to the document - via PREV_DOC or the History Page, if the document was fetched originally - with a fragment and a link on its first page had been activated. - FM -* Tweaks in GridText.c so that returns from image map menus to parent - documents are not treated as if a different document is being sought, - and thus any no-cache directives associated with the parent will be - ignored unless another fetch is initiated within the parent or via - another, externally existing document. - FM -* Added SEEK_FRAG_MAP_IN_CUR and SEEK_FRAG_AREA_IN_CUR configuration - (lynx.cfg) options for how to resolve USEMAP attribute values in - IMG or OBJECT tags and HREF attribute values in AREA tags when they - consist solely of a fragment (USEMAP="#frag" or HREF="#frag"). The - compilation default is TRUE, i.e., they are resolved with respect - to the current document's URL, even if the base is different, as is - being done for the HREF attribute values of Anchors and LINKs. The - compilation default seems to be working out, even though most of the - currently deployed browsers still use the base. - FM -1997-06-02 -* Mods in LYMain.c so as not to require that a lone "-" argument for - invoking input of command line arguments from stdin be the only - argument on the actual command line. That requirement preluded use - of this feature when the command for invoking Lynx was aliased so - as to include arguments, because the lone "-" then could not be the - only argument. Also tweaked the code so that any stdin-derived - arguments which need to be processed early in main() are so processed. - The vanilla code had severely flawed logic in this respect. The - security considerations associated with switch handling have gotten - hairy beyond reasonable bounds, but I think I've thought it all through - (we'll see :), and have plugged some holes in the vanilla code for - this feature. Redirection of stdout and/or stderr to a file now also - works reliably in conjunction with this feature. - FM -* Added an explanation in the PROBLEMS file of the bad getsockname() and - getpeername() functions within SOCKETSHR 0.9D which affect the ftp - gateway, and the URLs for Andy Harper's (A.HARPER@kcl.ac.uk) fixes of - the SOCKETSHR 0.9D sources. - FM -* Cast LYLocal.c into the Lynx programming style. - FM -1997-06-01 -* Added support for numbered form fields, and options in SELECT popups, - based on LE's patch. The LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED keypad - mode can be defined in userdefs.h and via the 'o'ptions menu. When - in SELECT popups, the F_LINK_NUM ('0') command can be used in any mode - to invoke a "Select option (or page) number:" prompt, which can take - 'g' or 'p' suffixes, homologously to the - "Follow link (or goto link or page) number:" - prompt in the main document with popups retracted. Note that when in - the main document, the F_LINK_NUM command has an implied 'g' suffix - for form links (i.e., will position you on the form link, not, for - example, ACTIVATE a submit button), but *not* in popup windows (i.e., - without a 'g' suffix, the option corresponding to the number will be - selected, and the popup will be retracted, as if you had pressed - ACTIVATE when positioned on that option). The 123p feature is quite - useful in popups with a very large number of options, and supplements - the HOME, END and WHEREIS functions for seeking positions in the list - (again, regardless of keypad mode, if F_LINK_NUM is used to invoke - the prompt). A "page" is defined as the number of lines within the - vertical dimension of the popup box. - FM -* Mods in LYEdit.c to seek the current page and line when the editor - is sedt on VMS. - FM -* Updated the online 'h'elp concerning the "Follow link (or page) number:" - and "Select option (or page) number:" features (Lynx_users_guide.html, - follow_help.html, keystroke_help.html and other_help.html). - FM -* changes to help files to reflect the different prompt string. - KW -1997-05-30 -* Worked in LE's patch for keeping track of whether links occur in an - underlining context, and if so, restore it when slang color is on and - a current link is made non-current, thereby actually dealing with the - longstanding bug discussed in the 1997-05-27 mods (This is just a hobby, - and I always reserve the right to change my mind! :). - FM -* Mods of LYForms.c and LYStrings.c to deal with form field values too - long to fit in the line editor's buffer (such as long TEXTAREA values - which have no newlines in them). As much of the tail as fits in the - buffer is offered for editing, with statusline messages explaining the - situation. If the tail is modified, it is combined with the unmodified - head when the form field is made non-current. The result can be edited - further by making the form field current again. If the form has a - Reset button, it can be used to restore the original value. The - vanilla code would crash on buffer overflow (Ugh! A potential - security hole.). - FM -1997-05-29 -* Restored underlining in conjunction with reversing for the current link - with slang when colors are being used, but not otherwise. - FM -* The 1997-05-26 mods to bypass screen redraws on retractions of SELECT - popups when the selected OPTION was not changed worked properly only - for VMS curses. Tweaked the for-slang code so that it now works like - VMS curses (though not as efficiently). However, with Unix curses, - the delwin() - refresh() sequence does not restore what was there - before the popup was invoked, and none of the tweaks I tried got that - to work, so the poor Unix folks using Unix curses are now stuck again - with screen redraws for every popup retraction. - FM -1997-05-27 -* Eliminated in the fotemods code underlining in conjunction with reversing - for the current link with slang, to avoid the longstanding bug of - underlining being lost (and distracting color changes occurring) when that - link ceases to be current and it was embedded in an underlined region of - text. The attributes of the current link can be better handled in the - development code based on configurable style sheets, so there's no - point letting this bug ride, nor trying to deal with it through - temporary internal mods, in the fotemods code set. - FM -1997-05-26 -* Mods of display_title() in GridText.c to eliminate the "format" - mask as in KW's 1997-05-14 development code mods, and to make the - memory management more efficient. - FM -* Mods of change_form_link() in LYForms.c to bypass the screen redraw - on retraction of a SELECT popup if the SELECT block is DISABLE-ed - or the selected OPTION was not changed. Note that the complete - elimination of the screen redraw in the 1997-05-20 development code - mods, i.e., even when the selected OPTION was changed, results in - the change not being made evident to the user in the retracted popup - unless the screen is redrawn fortuitously (e.g., due to subsequent - paging). - FM -* Modified the caching-related changes of 1997-05-15 to LYMainLoop.c, - handling automatic reloading after a change of the User-Agent string - like after comparable other option changes. - We force a reload if "preferred document lan(G)uage" - or "preferred document c(H)arset" are changed via the 'o'ptions menu, - and to set the "reloading" flag for forcing a proxy cache refresh if - those or "user (A)gent" are changed and the current document has an - http, https or lynxcgi scheme, but not force a proxy cache refresh if - we're reloading due to an INLINE_TOGGLE, IMAGE_TOGGLE, or RAW_TOGGLE - command. - KW, FM -1997-05-25 -* Mods in LYMain.c to convert $USER if present in the TEMP_SPACE - definition or LYNX_TEMP_SPACE environment variable to the string - returned by getenv("USER"). - FM -* Fixed two typos for me->inFONT settings in HTML.c - TD -* Added chmod(file, 0600) calls for most files created by Lynx. - FM -1997-05-24 -* integrate patch JED's mods which support mouse for slang as well as add - new functions to encapsulate differences between slang/curses. - TD -1997-05-21 -* Mods in HTML.c and LYCharUtils.c so that TABLE blocks are treated - as divisions in the DIV nest, with a default alignment of HT_LEFT - if the TABLE start tag lacks an ALIGN attribute, and otherwise, - that attribute's value. Nested TABLEs extend the DIV nest. This - avoids the problem in the vanilla code of TABLE content inheriting - the alignment of a containing CENTER or DIV which is intended for - alignment of the TABLE as a whole. Also added support for ALIGN - attributes in TR elements. If the TR has no ALIGN attribute, it - inherits that of the current division, which should be that of the - current TABLE. This, of course, still does not yield true TABLEs - for truly tabular content, but makes TABLEs used for formatting - more readable. - FM -1997-05-20 -* correct 2 occurrences of "me->inFONT == TRUE;" in HTML.c - TD -* add configure --with-color-style option to merge RP's alpha changes for - color styles (this works only with ncurses, since it does not initialize - the window background, leaving it null, thereby exploiting a bug in - ncurses which sets null backgrounds to a space). Also some whitespace - (and renamed CS to make this build w/o ncurses) - TD -* test-built with ncurses 1.8.7, 1.9.4, 1.9.9e and 4.0, as well as bsd 4.4 - curses and slang - TD -* Tweak of HTFWriter.c so that it does the anti-spoof tests normally - done by tempname() (see the 1997-05-19 mods) in all cases for which - it changes the temporary file suffix from any of those checked by - tempname() itself. At this point, every way I've thought of for - trying to spoof Lynx via links for temporary files is blocked, but - people should beat on today's code to see if there's any spoofing - strategy I haven't yet blocked. - FM -* Modified the Lynx Trace Log handling so that it doesn't use actual - redirection of stderr via freopen() calls, and restores the original - value of stderr during any escape to shell. This avoids the problem - on Unix that sh and ksh send their prompt strings to stderr, and that - bash sends both its prompt and command line echo to stderr, so they - end up in the log instead of being visible. I had tested the initial - design on VMS and with csh on Unix, and thus didn't notice this - foolishness for the other Unix shells. Anyway, it's OK for all of - them now. - FM -* Tweaked SIGTSTP interrupt handler in the USE_SLANG for-unix code, so - that it gets set to SIG_DFL when stop_curses() is called, to prevent - strange interferences experienced when ^Z is used while a helper - process is in the foreground. - KW -* Change in LYForms.c to prevent forced screen refresh after selection - from a popup box. - KW -1997-05-19 -* Recognize Linux console F1 key in LYgetch() (applies if "-DNO_KEYPAD" - is in effect, as for all binaries built with slang). - KW -* Protect LYgetch() against returning raw values of keypad() symbols - which are invalid when used later as an index into keymap[], - override[], etc. - KW -* in the USE_SLANG for-unix start_curses(), honor the no_suspend flag - if set. This implements -restrictions=suspend handling for slang - (although it was intended for curses implementations which have - problems with ^Z within Lynx; see the PROBLEMS file). - Note that the no_suspend flag cannot be suspected to have - the desired effect if lynx is executed from a shell script, unless - the shell process forked for the script also ignores the SIGTSTP - signal generated (usually) by the ^Z key. Also if the user is - allowed to execute any helper process (VIEWER, PRINTER, etc.) which - does allow suspending while no_suspend is in effect for the Lynx - parent process (by overriding the SIG_IGN setting done by Lynx or by - other means), then suspending may still be possible, in addition to - strange effects either immediately or when the process or process group - is continued (wrong tty and screen state, zombie processes, total - hang of the session without any way to interrupt - you get the idea...). - Trying to use the suspend restriction in order to prevent users from - getting a shell prompt doesn't make much sense anyway when they are - allowed access to execute commands which may be interrupted or allow - escaping to a shell... - KW -* Tweak of HTFile.c so that we no longer lose an LYforce_HTML_mode - directive if the file is gzipped or compressed and the uncompressed - suffix is not mapped to text/html. - FM -* Modified tempname() in LYUtils.c so that it checks whether files - with the current PID and target count already exist, and if so, - increments the count until a name for a non-existing file has been - created. - FM -1997-05-18 -* Mods in LYMainLoop.c and LYClean.c so that Control-G is treated as - a synonym for 'n'o in quit confirmation prompts. - FM -* Mods in LYPrint.c to strip any gzip or compress suffix from the - suggested filename, on the assumption that we're deal with a text/html - or text/plain file that had a corresponding Content-Encoding and no - Content-Disposition: file; filename=name.suffix header indicating - the appropriate filename after uncompression. This assumption does - apply for our current ftp gateway, and for most present-day http - servers. This mod in turn ensures that text/html files which are - not being printed as source will have their uncompressed suffixes - converted to .txt, indicated that they are rendered. - FM -1997-05-17 -* Fixed long-standing bug in display_page() of GridText.c. When it - was updating the links structures, it wasn't re-initializing the - form element if the links structure is not for a form field. - FM -* Mods in HTML.c to deal more effectively with H# headers used instead - of LH in lists. We now, in effect, treat them fully as if they were - LH, so that their left indentations are in register with the current - list nesting depth, and we apply better error recovery in cases where - the author is mis-using H# for a FONT change rather than as an actual - header. - FM -1997-05-16 -* Changed the line where a WHEREIS search target should preferably be - displayed to the 4th line (not counting the title line). This can - be changed by redefining SEARCH_GOAL_LINE in userdefs.h. - SEARCH_GOAL_LINE can also be a simple expression in terms of the - variable display_lines, e.g., `#define SEARCH_GOAL_LINE (display_lines/3)', - this should then automatically adapt to screen size changes (provided the - display system can deal with that...) - Note that this this goal line will normally not be used if the next - target, according to the algorithm Lynx uses, is already on the displayed - screen. Also, when the displayed page changes to show a search result, - there is no guarantee that it will end up on the line set by - SEARCH_GOAL_LINE. It should rather be regarded as a maximum. - For example the presence of anchors on the line with the target or on - the preceding lines will change the positioning. - KW -* The SEARCH_GOAL_LINE line will also be used for "going to" a link with - 'g' suffix at the "Follow link ..." prompt, although the algorithm is - quite different. As for a search target, this only applies when Lynx - has to position to a different page of the document, and then is only - a maximum. - KW -* Enabled the no-cache setting for the pseudo document Lynx creates for - a client-side image map in LYMap.c, for now. - KW -* Minor typo fix for the proxy authentication mods. - FM -* Tweak of PRE block handling in HTML.c to ensure an implied paragraph - after the block if it is in a list and not followed by an LI. - FM -* Tweaks of SGML.c and LYCharUtils.c to allow any non-digit to terminate - a numeric character reference once at least one digit has been found in - the reference. - FM -* Change in LYUnEscapeToLatinOne() to use isdigit() instead of isalnum() - for recognizing numeric character references like LYUnEscapeEntities() - does. - KW -1997-05-15 -* Worked in JED's mods for taking a suspend into account during select() - calls. - FM -* Mods in LYMainLoop.c to not force a cache refresh on a proxy any more - when INLINE_TOGGLE, IMAGE_TOGGLE, RAW_TOGGLE are used. On the other - hand, do force a proxy cache refresh after one of the variables relevant - for content negotiation `language' or `pref_charset' has been changed - from the Options screen, if the current document is from a http, https, or - lynxcgi resource. - KW -* Set HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET environment variable for the child process in - LYCgi.c if pref_charset is not NULL. - KW -* (chartrans) Write a META tag with the current display character sets to - the files generated for Bookmarks, List, Info, History, and Visited Links - pages, so title strings contained in those files will (hopefully) not - get erroneously translated again. Use new function LYaddMETAcharsetToFD() - in LUCharUtils for this purpose. - KW -* (chartrans) makeuctb now sets RawUni to UCT_ENC_8BIT if not otherwise set - and if there are char values above 127. - KW -* (chartrans) Change in HTuncache_current_document() to prevent caching of - UCStages info which should be discarded. Still allow caching for this - in the node_anchor for source display, so that a META tag in the parsed - HTML can influence the display after using the SOURCE '\' key. - KW -1997-05-14 -* Don't use title in showlist() if it is empty, to prevent "hidden links" - on the List Page itself caused by documents with <TITLE></TITLE>. - KW -* Changed display_title() in GridText.c to not rely on sprintf() to get - the number of blanks right. - KW -* (chartrans) Added new lynx.cfg symbols ASSUME_CHARSET, - ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET, and ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET. They are only - recognized if compiled with -DEXP_CHARTRANS. They correspond to the - command line options -assume_charset, -assume_local_charset, and - -assume_unrec_charset. - The default for ASSUME_CHARSET is iso-8859-1 (corresponding to display - character set "ISO Latin 1"). If no ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET is set, - the explicit or default value for ASSUME_CHARSET will also be used for - local files. ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET has no default. See added text - in lynx.cfg. - KW -* (chartrans) Changes in LYCharSets.c to HTMLSetCharacterHandling() and - HTMLSetUseDefaultRawMode() to support (hopefully) more consistent - and user-friendly handling of raw mode and its default. - Note that the following description does not apply if the display - character set is one of the CJK settings. In that case, -raw and - the corresponding Options setting is used as a CJK toggle as before. - Note that the -raw flag is a toggle. It changes the "raw mode" - setting from the default. The current setting of "raw mode" can be - seen on the Options screen, and is also shown in a statusline message - when the RAW_TOGGLE key (normally '@') is used. - The default depends on the display character set (as previously) - but now also on the ASSUME_CHARSET setting (as determined by a setting - in lynx.cfg, possibly overridden by -assume_charset on the command - line, or the default iso-8859-1). When the display character set - corresponds to the ASSUME_CHARSET, the default for "raw mode" is ON, - otherwise it is OFF. - The effect of "raw mode" on the interpretation of documents which have - no explicit charset label (from HTTP headers, a META tag, or otherwise) - is as follows. There is an internal "assume charset" which may differ - from the user-specified ASSUME_CHARSET value. When "raw mode" is set - ON, the internal variable is set to correspond to the display character - set. When "raw mode" is set OFF, the internal variable changes to - the user-specified ASSUME_CHARSET or, if that also corresponds to the - display character set (so that otherwise there would be no change), - reverts back to the iso-8859-1 Web default. - Raw mode doesn't imply total rawness. HTML character entities may - be expanded and translated with either setting, 8-bit characters which - are inappropriate for the display character set will not be sent to - the terminal. For a "more raw" setting, try the "Transparent" pseudo - display character set. - KW -1997-05-13 -* Changed the compilation default in userdefs.h for USE_TRACE_LOG - to FALSE, for now. - KW -* Code for "fixing" of relative http and https URLs which start with a - ../ segment from FM added, but it has to be enabled with the new - lynx.cfg symbol STRIP_DOTDOT_URLS (default currently set to FALSE). - See FM's description under 1997-04-23. - KW -* Changed the test for dot segment fixing in LYLegitimizeHREF() so - that now (if enabled) it also applies when the http or https base URL - in effect does have a non-empty path but without any slashes in it - (beyond the initial one between host and path). The test was too narrow - before and did not recognize this case, so that an unmodified URL with - ../ in it would still be sent to the server and without generating a - statusline message. - KW -* Tweak of case LYK_REFRESH: in LYMainLoop.c so that the REFRESH command - still invokes an obligatory, complete refresh of the screen for slang - on Unix with the new LY_SLclear() function (see 1997-05-09 mods), - by using scrollok() if USE_SLANG is defined. - FM -* Changed the local variable name, lines, in follow_link_number() of - LYGetFile.c to nlines, to deal with the AIX 4.2 bug of treating lines - as a macro. Also changed the variable name, pages, to npages for - logical complementarity (they both refer to the total number). - FM -* Mods in HTML.c, LYCharUtils.c and GridText.c to deal with links for - positioning, specified via NAME or ID attributes, when they are embedded - in Anchors which have an HREF, so that they now don't force premature - closing of those Anchors. Also tweaked the code for creating links for - the sources of images or other for-GUI embedded objects when clickable - images ('*') is toggled on, so they use those mods as well, when - possible. Note, however, that the clickable images feature is creating - Anchors with HREFs which aren't actually there, and still can create - technically invalid markup, on occasion, when the non-doctored markup - actually is valid. The latter mods still need some improvements in the - formatting, but are OK to use for now, and my brain hurts from trying - to think through all the possible markup we might encounter. - FM -* Tweaks of the Lynx Trace Log handling to deal with reloads when the - HText structure for the log has been dumped. Made the first letter - of the filename uppercase (Lynx.trace), complementary to Lynx.leaks. - Eliminated the log from the Visited Links Page so it can't be sought - there as a forward link. Use the History Page if you want to 'd'ownload - the log, or use the 'p'rint option while viewing the log. Note that - suffix maps do tail matching, and thus the so-called suffixes need not - begin with a dot. If you want to use an external viewer for the log, - you can put: - SUFFIX:Lynx.trace:application/x-LynxTrace - VIEWER:application/x-LynxTrace:most +s %s - in your lynx.cfg, or their equivalents in your mime.types and mailcap - files. - FM -* Tweaks in LYMainLoop.c to set newdoc.title for various special pages - generated by Lynx (History Page, Info Page, etc.) and when following - a link. - FM -* Small change to the heuristics for New_DTD in start_element() - in SGML.c (try a bit more to close containing element if it's the - same tag) - KW -1997-05-12 -* Added support for proxy authentication. - AJL, FM -* Updated follow_help.html to indicate that 0 is the universal - F_LINK_NUM mapping for invoking the "Follow link (or ...) number:" - prompt. - FM -1997-05-11 -* Tweaks in LYMainLoop.c to ensure that the LYforce_HTML_mode flag is - reset reliably, so it doesn't carry over to requests for text/plain - documents, as it was doing under some circumstances in the vanilla - code, e.g., when a bookmark file was used as the startfile via a - file://localhost/path URL rather than via the -book switch. - FM -* Very minor change in Lynx_users_guide.html, added two words - KW -1997-05-10 -* Fixed a typo in statusline() of LYUtils.c. The check for whether - the string is zero length before bothering to convert CJK multi-bytes - was checking a holding buffer instead of the string. - FM -* Fixed a bug in LYHandleMETA() of LYCharUtils.c. The check for a - URL following the SECONDS value in REFRESH directives was not - taking into account that an EOL might follow the digits for the - SECONDS value. - FM -* Changed the behavior of boolean_choice() in LYOptions.c so that the - cursor is positioned immediately at the option display line instead - of staying at the statusline instructions until an initial entry is - made, and modified the statusline instructions accordingly. - LE, FM -* Added a check for a NULL pointer in the LYCookie.c code for blocking - sharing of SSL encrypted cookies with http servers, based on a patch - from RT, and added a comment on why code for a block based on the - scheme is there, despite its being redundant with the current blanket - restriction based of the ports. - FM -* Mapped 0 to F_LINK_NUM (as suggested by KW), so that 0 invokes the - "Follow link (or goto link or page) number:" prompt under all - circumstances (but with the 0 not treated as the first digit of - the number entry). That's a better way - to do it, because then the F_LINK_NUM command and explanation always - appears in the "Current Key Map" display, and only the mappings of - numbers to functions drop out when going from NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS to - LINKS_ARE_NUMBERS mode (as they should, 'cuz the numbers no longer - are mapped to functions; though maybe they should stay mapped to - functions now that we have an explicit command key for invoking the - prompt; something to think about...). - FM -* Updated the PROBLEMS file to indicate that you should try changing - -lresolve to -lbind if you have upgraded to the bind-8.1 or later - library on a Sun system and keep getting the message "Alert!: Unable - to connect to remote host". - FM -1997-05-09 -* Typo fix in follow_help.html. - FM -* Added an LY_SLclear() function in LYCurses.c as a more efficient - substitute for slang of the curses clear(), based on a patch from - JED. - FM -* Added a USE_TRACE_LOG compilation (userdefs.h) symbol and -tlog command - line toggle of the compilation default (normally TRUE), for directing - syserr messages to a lynx.trace file in the user's home directory when - TRACE mode has been turned on (either via the -trace command line switch, - or the TOGGLE_TRACE (Control-T) command. Also added a TRACE_LOG command - (normally ';') for viewing the "Lynx Trace Log" (lynx.trace) at any time, - if one has been initiated during the current session. The trace log - feature is disabled automatically in anonymous or validation accounts, - and should not be used in any account which could have different users - simultaneously. The mods work well to the extent I've exercised them - thus far on VMS and for the solaris2 target, but possibly need more - refinements, depending on the behavior for other Unix flavors of - freopen(), which is used for redirecting stderr to the log. Updated - lynx.man, lynx.hlp, and the online 'h'elp to describe these new - features. - FM -1997-05-08 -* Made the handling of hidden links dependent on a new command line - option. With -hiddenlinks=listonly hidden links are only shown on - 'l'ist screens and listings generated by -dump or from the 'p'rint - menu, but appear separately at the end of those lists. - With -hiddenlinks=ignore they don't appear even in listings. - With -hiddenlinks=merge hidden links are treated as before, - i.e., they show up as bracketed numbers if LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, - and are numbered together with other links in the sequence of their - occurrence in the document. The default is -hiddenlinks=listonly. - Changed the new follow_help.html file accordingly. - This may help obviate an apparent need to call something a bug which - others regard as a feature... - KW -* Function HText_AreDifferent() updated as in FM's code, but still - unused. - KW -1997-05-07 -* Added another argument in follow_link_number() of LYGetFile.c for - returning the number entered at the "Follow link (or page) number:" - prompt to the mainloop(), and modified the statusline error messages - that may be issued from the mainloop() in conjunction the with 'g' or - 'p' suffixes so that they report that number when appropriate. - FM -* Changed the prompt to "Follow link (or goto link or page) number:" - KW -* Tweaked case HTML_DD: in HTML.c so that it checks whether a wrap - has just occurred naturally before imposing a newline for DD start - tags. Without that check, seemingly random, extra newlines could - occur in the DL/DT/DD blocks. - FM -* Created a follow_help.html for the keystroke_commands subdirectory - of the online 'h'elp, describing the "Follow link (or page) number:" - features, and added links to it in Lynx_users_guide.html and - keystroke_help.html. - FM -* Changed the help description according to what is implemented here - KW -1997-05-06 -* Further tweaked KW's mainloop() tweak (see yesterday's entry), so that - newdoc.link is reinitialized properly when we're going to, but not - ACTIVATE-ing, a link in the current page due to a 'g' suffix for a - "Follow link (or page) number:" entry. Otherwise, if the number with - a 'g' suffix was used to make the last link on the current page the - current link, and then a NEXT_LINK command was used, one could end - up on a link beyond the first one in the next page. Also added a - statusline message if the 'g' suffix is used with a number which - corresponds to a link that already is current. - FM -* Tweaked yesterday's LYList.c mods so that an OL with the CONTINUE - attribute is used when a "Hidden links:" list is appended to a - "Visible links:" list and NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS mode is on. This allows - you to see the number to enter at "Follow link (or page) number:" - prompts, as when LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED mode is on. - FM -* Mods in HTML.c for LI and LH handling so that a pointless wrap will not - occur at the spacer following the bullet in UL blocks or the Arabic - number, Roman numeral, or upper- or lowercase letter in OL blocks if - the subsequent text has no spaces, itself, up to the right margin. - In such cases, that text now stays on the initial LI or LH line, and - wraps at the right margin to the left indentation for a second or - greater line in the LI or LH. - FM -* Changes to avoid memory leaks in LYCookie.c - KW -* Escape '<' and '>' characters (using the LYEntify functions) in URL - strings written to the temporary files for LIST and INFO screens, to - avoid invalid HTML and corrupted display as a result of URLs which - contain these characters (although they shouldn't) and have not been - escaped earlier. - KW -* Changed the label for the currently selected link from "Filename:" - to "URL:", and fixed an alignment glitch for the 9th item on the - History and Visited Links pages. - KW -* Changed an "8-bit" occurring in HtInit.c to "8bit", tweaked LYKeymap.c - comments. - KW -1997-05-05 -* Added HText_AddHiddenLink(), HText_HiddenLinkCount(), and - HText_HiddenLinkAt() functions in GridText.c for keeping track of the - addresses (URL, plus fragment if present) for links that were converted - to hidden by HText_endAnchor() due to their having no visible link name, - and modified showlist() and printlist() in LYList.c so that if any hidden - links were create during the rendition, the "References in this document:" - menu for the 'l'ist command or appendix on dumps segregates and clearly - labels the visible versus hidden links. - FM -* Plugged a memory leak in LYEntify() of LYCharUtils.c. - FM -* Modified experimental DTD info to not close anchors when an invalid - P, H1-H6, or ADDRESS start tag is encountered, and to change error - recovery for P and MAP. - KW -* Modified experimental DTD info and HTML.c to not close PRE when - an invalid FORM start tag is encountered, and to use the appropriate - handling for preformatted text if PRE is in effect but is not the top - element on HTML.c's stack. The HTStyle structure's freeFormat (which - wasn't used anywhere before) is now used as one test whether we are - within preformatted text, also corrected the style setting of freeFormat - for PRE in DefaultStyle.c. - KW -* Changed internal gateways (in HTNews.c, HTFile.c, HTWAIS.c, HTWSRC.c) - to end LI, DT, and DD elements if they are not declared SGML_EMPTY, - so that HTML.c's stack won't get overloaded in this case. - KW -* Tweaks in mainloop() handling of DO_GOTOLINK_STUFF and DO_GOTOPAGE_STUFF. - Going to a link with the 'g' suffix and then immediately ACTIVATing that - link could previously show the wrong page of the new document, since - newdoc.line was not being reset. - KW -1997-05-03 -* (chartrans) Now always check for LYlowest_eightbit[current_char_set] - near the top of HText_appendCharacter(), to prevent writing C1 control - chars to the terminal if they are not valid as displayable characters - according to the selected "display character set" Option. - All this should be handled earlier in processing, and this check may - disappear again for testing, but somebody asked for it... - KW -* (chartrans) Small changes to README files. - KW -* In the section of HTUtils.h for non-autoconf builds, don't set - HAVE_KEYPAD or HAVE_TTYTYPE if USE_SLANG is defined. - KW -* Modified HText_LinksInLines() to not count hidden form fields. - KW -* Added support for setting an anchor's no_cache element based on a - comparison between Expires and Date headers if both were received - and we didn't set it based on a Cache-Control directive. Also - added equivalent support for a comparison between an Expires value - from a META tag and a Date header. We still compare Expires header - or META values versus the system time if no Date header was received, - and still do not accept Date values from META tags because they are - unlikely to be reliable. - FM -1997-05-02 -* Fixed a bug in LYAddImageMap() of LYMap.c which could cause multiple - insertions of the same MAP into the LynxMaps structure, and crashes - on some systems due to the consequent multiple FREE()'s at exit. - FM -1997-05-01 -* More mods in HTML.c, LYCharUtils.c and GridText.c for rational handling - of potentially wrapped form fields in PRE blocks. We now artificially - wrap the line if the form field would start within 6 columns from the - right margin. This makes sure that editing windows and the highlighted - segments of submit or reset buttons will not ever be ridiculously short, - and is homologous to our use of a collapsible space before input fields - and buttons when not in PRE blocks to promote a wrap there instead of - within the fields or buttons. - FM -* Expanded the WHEREIS query support so that it also locates the values - of form fields within the current document and repositions or pages - accordingly, as for normal (Anchor) links and for text strings. Note - that if the hit was for an OPTION value in a retracted SELECT popup, - you are positioned on the retracted window, and must pop it up and - search again to be positioned on the OPTION value with the hit, unless - it already is the selected OPTION. The mods are hairy enough without - trying to do the latter automatically, at least for now. - FM -1997-04-30 -* Quote the URL for external command (not for VMS or DOS or Windows) - to avoid dangerous chars and shell spoofing. - KW -* Escape characters properly when constructing URLs from filenames - in LYConvertToURL. If a string given for startfile, home page, or - a goto command which does not already have the form of an absolute - URL starting with an URL scheme and which does not start with '~' - (but may start with '/') specifies an existing file or directory in - valid Unix-like format for the native filesystem, i.e., without using - escaping, it gets URL-escaped, otherwise it is assumed to already - be URL-escaped. - KW -1997-04-29 -* Updated RP Styles 0.2 code, don't allow comma as separator between - fg and bg colors after all, fix the LYNX_VERSION string generation - in userdefs.h to have `-Styles' appended *within* the quoted string. - KW -* Added support for a 'p' suffix, like the 'g' suffix for making a link - number the current link rather than ACTIVATE-ing it, - but for displaying the page indicated by the number preceding the - 'p' suffix entered at the "follow link (or goto link or page) number:" - prompt. [...] If the number - entered at the prompt is '1' or less followed by the 'p' suffix, or only - 'p' is entered, you get the same behavior as for the HOME command. If - the number is equal to or greater than the number of pages, you get the - last page displayed as you would if you had used successive PAGE_DOWN - commands from the HOME position to reach it. This differs from the END - command, which fills the screen with lines from the end of the document - if you are not already displaying the end of the document. Note that if - you enter a number without a suffix (to ACTIVATE the link with that number) - or with the 'g' suffix (to make the link with that number the current link) - it must correspond to a valid link number or an error statusline message - will be issued, in contrast to the 'p' suffix for which an out of range - number is treated as a request to display the first or last actual page in - the current document. - FM -* Fixed some typos in lynx.man. - LV -* More modifications of the anchor counting code for HTGetLinkInfo() in - GridText.c so that it properly skips hidden form fields and anchors - without selectable text. - KW -* More modifications in GridText.c and HTML.c so that it deals rationally - with submit or reset button values, and the underscore placeholders for - other form fields, when in versus not in PRE blocks. The entire submit - or reset button values are now always displayed, whether or not a portion - of it was wrapped, but we still can only highlight the portion before the - wrap to indicate a link for submission of the form or for resetting the - form field values. - FM -* Undid some mysterious changes in SIGHUP setting (SIG_IGN vs. SIG_DFL) - which had sneaked in in connection with adding the NOSIGHUP - conditional. - KW -* Tweaks to New DTD's extra info for CENTER and H1..H6 - KW -* New function HText_AreDifferent() from FM added to GridText.c, but - not used yet. - KW -* Tweaks to WB's additions for external command: use strncasecomp, add - LYExtern.o to src/makefile.in, changed test for empty command. - KW -* Changed LYKeymap.h and LYKeymap.c so they agree about the symbols - assigned to the new keys (SWITCH_DTD, EXTERN). - KW -* correct minor syntax err that caused SCO 3.x to fail make-include - autoconf test. also, eliminate whitespace before '#' that causes - compile-fail on K&R compilers. - TD -1997-04-28 -* Updated lynx_url_support.html so as to make clear that the offer to - include the currently displayed document with right-angle-bracket - prefixing for mailto, newsreply, and snewsreply URLs is made only if - the user has defined an external editor via the Options Menu, and that - the user is expected to edit this inclusion so that it retains only - those passages relevant to the email or followup message which the - user will add. - FM -* Tweak of INPUT handling in HTML.c so that we use nbsp instead of any - spaces when loading a submit or reset button's actual value instead - of a series of underscores into the HText structure, so that we - still promote a wrap, if needed, at the space we ensured would be - present before each INPUT. - FM -* Made first_option a structure member rather than a static variable - in HTML.c - KW -1997-04-27 -* Tweak of Control-C and Control-G handling for popup_options() in - LYForms.c. They were being sought improperly as command keys rather - than as raw keyboard entries. Note that only Control-G should be - used as "cancel" within popup windows on Unix, because Control-C - is not being trapped to a handler as on VMS. - LE, FM -* Tweak of the anchor counting code for HTGetLinkInfo() in GridText.c - so that it takes form fields into account when making a link current - based on a "Follow link number" entry with the 'g' suffix. - Also added comments to that code. - KW -1997-04-25 -* Added information in the "Lynx bookmarks" section of the Users Guide - about appropriate versus unsupported modifications when editing the - bookmark files. - FM -* RP Styles 0.2 fixed a bit and brought up to current experimental code - level (no autoconfig or simple-curses, only older version of Wayne's - mods, maybe something else is missing, too). No documentation, no - detailed checking, no real cleanup. Makefile slightly adapted, - but still needs changing for new systems - see comments there. - KW -1997-04-24 -* Tweaks for enhanced mouse support in Win32 and hooks for 386 which - doesn't have mouse support yet. - WB -* External command added. See LYExtern.* in src and lynx.cfg. - You need to define USE_EXTERNALS to compile this in. - WB -1997-04-23 -* Modified LYCharUtils.c, HTML.c and LYMessages_en.h so that if a - partial reference (HREF or SRC value) would be resolved to an http - or https URL which has only two dots as the first symbolic element in - the path (e.g., http://host/../foo.html), such that the server would - reject the request, that element is excluded from the resultant URL, - but a statusline message is issued (once per document) about a bad - partial reference, as immediate feedback which might lead to the - document provider correcting the bad partial reference(s). We still - retain that first symbolic element, in compliance with the IETF RFCs - and IDs for resolving URLs, with other URL schemes (e.g., ftp). - FM -* Added a skip_stack int to the HTML.h struct _HTStructured, to use - for flagging that the next call to HTML_start_element or - HTML_end_element is an internal shortcut and should skip pushing - or popping the HTML.c paragraph style stack even for elements - that are not declared SGML_EMPTY. Added a SET_SKIP_STACK macro - to HTML.c to set the flag, use it. - KW -* Changes to HTML.c to better deal with a number of elements which may - or may not have been declared SGML_EMPTY in HTMLDTD.c: - if the last stacked element is HTML_OPTION, treat text as for - HTML_SELECT in HTML_put_character and HTML_put_character and - HTML_put_string. Added handling code for </P> to HTML_end_element - (similar but not identical to that for P in HTML_start_element). - Added check whether a SELECT is still open to FORM handling in - HTML_end_element. Added check whether a FORM is open to SELECT - handling in HTML_end_element. Added cases for end tags of - TABLE-related elements (TR, THEAD, TFOOT, TBODY, COLGROUP, TH, TD) - and of DT, DD, LH, LI, FONT, OVERLAY to the switch in - HTML_end_element, currently just break from the switch. - KW -* Some tweaks and corrections to the additional element info and - to the content types used with New_DTD, in HTMLDTD.c. Made - OPTION non-empty. - KW -* Now changed the tags_old[] in HTMLDTD.c, which is used with the - switchable "old" SGML parsing, to follow the changes for A, B, - BLINK, CITE, EM, FONT, I, STRONG, and U mentioned in the entry - of 1997-04-15. These, together with FORM and P, are all declared - as SGML_EMPTY now when the "old" SGML parsing is in effect, but - not with new parsing. - KW -* Changes to LYMail.c and LYPrint.c to send Content-Transfer-Encoding - headers and/or a charset parameter when mailing, based on idea from - Hynek Med. Don't use charset if we only have 7-bit characters - anyway. If compiled with EXP_CHARTRANS, use MIME name corresponding - to display character set if it looks valid (not "x-"), otherwise - only an explicitly given document charset. In the chartrans case, - don't send charset parameter for CJK since it may be wrong... - KW -* Added TRACE output to UCAuto.c - HM -1997-04-22 -* refined check for slang libraries/headers by checking if $CFLAGS has been - set so that slang.h is in the search path - TD -* add check to allow use of broken ncurses 1.9.9e's color - TD -* add check for NGROUPS, TRUE, FALSE macro definitions - TD -* remove top-level makefile.in targets that can be combined with the generic - target (more work required on the remaining ones) - TD -* Plugged memory leak in deleteLinks() of HTAnchor.c. - KW -* When dumping or outputting a rendered document via the 'p'rint menu, - Lynx would use the underscore placeholders for submit/image/reset - buttons as for other INPUT fields. We now load the values of - submit/image/reset buttons instead of placeholders into the HText - structure, so the values will be seen when dumping or outputting - via the 'p'rint menu. See the comments under case HTML_INPUT: in - HTML.c for the still less than optimal things that happen if a - wrap occurs within the INPUT value or placeholder strings, as might - happen in PRE blocks, or for strings wider than the screen. - LE, FM -* SGML_abort() did not free memory used by the SGML.c parser stack. - Now it does, but still doesn't call HTML_end_element() for the - stacked elements (it's an abort after all...) - KW -1997-04-21 -* Tweaks of the 1997-04-11 and 1997-04-09 mods in HText_endAnchor() of - GridText.c so as to take possible wrapping of Anchor content into - account when deciding whether or not to implement the Anchor as an - ACTIVATE-able link. - FM -* New SGML.c parser, and new HTMLDTD.c with additional element info. - Extra content information for each tag is now included in the - HTTag structure, and given in an extended tags_new[] table in - HTMLDTD.c. Modified start_element() and end_element() in SGML.c - to perform some heuristic wind-downs of the parsing stack, based - on the extra element info. - KW -* Revert treatment of some tags which were treated as SGML_EMPTY - before to their "natural" content model. No changes made to - HTML.c to accommodate this change, so results may differ where - HTML.c relies on previous hacks or has now handling code for - end tags of elements which were previously SGML_EMPTY. - KW -* Made SGML parsing switchable between old and new HTMLDTD info - and SGML.c code, controlled by a New_DTD global variable and - LYK_SWITCH_DTD toggle key. Use (temporarily?) ^V for the toggle key. - This is not yet changeable via command line, lynx.cfg, etc., and the - default is New_DTD==YES (so that it gets tested :-) ). - KW -* Made some of the error messages before exit in LYMainLoop.c and - LYMain.c go to stderr instead of stdout, but only for UNIX and, - in the case of the LYMainLoop.c messages, only if - dump_output_immediately was in effect. - KW -1997-04-20 -* Tweaks in LYCharUtils.c to bind META CONTENT to a header value only - via an HTTP-EQUIV attribute (i.e., not via a NAME attribute). - FM -* Mod in HTAccess.c to ignore the anchor's no_cache element if we're - seeking a position in the currently loaded document. - FM -* Commented out the above change in HTAccess.c. There's a more complete - mechanism for it already in this code... - KW -* Fixed a typo in the bookmark file lead text. - DK (Doug Kaufman - <dkaufman@rahul.net>) -1997-04-19 -* Changed the inappropriate StrAllocCat() to StrAllocCopy() for - loading the XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND in LYReadCFG.c. - PC -1997-04-18 -* Based on recent discussions in www-html@w3.org, added HY and SHY - to the DTD (treated as synonyms; one or the other is most likely - to be used in future HTML specs, so for now, we support both), as - markup equivalent to the named entity ­ and numeric character - reference ­ (soft hyphen). Note that Lynx implements soft - hyphens as specified in IETF RFC 2070 (link "HTML i18n" in the - Users Guide). Use of a tag instead of entity is preferable for - a soft hyphen because browsers which do not support soft hyphen - will ignore it as an "unknown tag" instead of inappropriately - inserting a hyphen or displaying the raw entity. Also added WBR, - which is handled like soft hyphen (indicating a permissible wrap - point), but does not insert a hyphen at the wrap. - FM -1997-04-17 -* Mods in HTML.c, HTML.h, and LYMessages_en.h to issue an HTML stack - overrun message only once per document, and as a statusline message - if not in TRACE mode, and to check in HTML_end_element() for - correspondence between the SGML and HTML stacks if an overrun should - occur. - FM -* Corrections in HTML.c for the bounds checks associated with DIV and - CENTER nesting levels, and for an HTML stack underrun. - KW -* Plugged a memory leak under case HTML_IMG: of HTML_start_element() in - HTML.c, and removed an inappropriate if(){} in HText_endAnchor() of - GridText.c. - FM, KW -* Modified the lead text created for bookmark files in LYBookmark.c so - that it indicates that an editor can be used to delete or reorder - the links, but that the format within lines should not be changed, - nor other HTML markup added. Note that the new lead text will be - used only when new bookmark files are created via the 'a'dd bookmark - link command. A new bookmark file is not created if the one being - sought already exists, so existing ones will still have the old - lead text. - FM -1997-04-16 -* Extensive changes to try to keep track of whether a document (or - a location within it) was reached by an internal (fragment-only) - URL reference or not. The basic idea is to be serious about I-D - (currently) draft-fielding-url-syntax-04.txt. - URL references starting with '#' are always to the current - document (from which the reference is made). This leads to a - lot of hackery in HTML.c, LYMainLoop.c, LYHistory.c, etc. etc... - to distinguish a doc that was reached by an "internal" reference - from others. But it seems necessary to keep track of how the - reference to a fragment was specified, whether with a non-empty - "real" URL (possibly relative) preceding the '#' or without it, - all the way way from the HTML parsing to the mainloop. Only then - can the mainloop decide to not start a new retrieval for an internal - reference without skipping a new retrieval if a full URL reference - with fragment is made to a location in the same document (which - may be non-cachable or the result of a POST)... - This code prevents unnecessary/inappropriate POST form resubmissions - on following an internal link in a POST response, as they are - present for example in WebTechs validation results. - KW -* A "Goto numbered link" feature. The user interface could be improved... - Start typing the link number, then add 'g' before hitting enter - KW -* Some improvements to WHEREIS search. Will not always position - found string on first line (details depend on whether anchors are - present, usually will position in top third of screen), and avoid - some unnecessary screen updates. - KW -1997-04-15 -* Miscellaneous additional tweaks in HTML.c for more robust error recovery - from bad HTML involving emphasis or style elements (B, BLINK, CITE, EM, - FONT, I, STRONG, and U), or HREF-less NAME-ed Anchors without matching - end tags. - FM -* Modified the declarations in HTMLDTD.c and code in SGML.C, HTML.c, and - GridText.c to handle A, B, BLINK, CITE, EM, FONT, I, STRONG, and U - container elements homologously to the modified handling of FORM (see - 1997-04-05 mods) so that if they are invalidly interdigitated or have - spurious end tags in the markup, substitutions of the "expected" end - tags by the SGML.c stack-based parser will not be made, and without - messing up the HTML.c stack-based parser. Appears to work reliably - for all of the elements, and to be reasonably crash safe (hopefully - as safe as the vanilla v2.7.1), but there are no guarantees. - FM -* Only *some* (most?) of the changes described in the above two - entries are used, as far as they change HTML.c. Not yet using the - changes to HTMLDTD.c and SGML.c. - KW -* refined logic of SVr4 curses color support to test the no_color_video - attribute - TD -* ifdef'd NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION logic to allow build with ncurses 1.9.4 - TD -* ifdef'd wgetbkgd misspelling to allow build with ncurses prior to 1.9.9g - TD -* document USE_MOUSE configuration-option - TD -* modify configure script and makefile.in templates to make BSDI_Makefile - obsolete - TD -* rename config.h to lynx_cfg.h to minimize conflict when configuring against - ncurses or slang in nonstandard locations - TD -* new autoconf macro CF_HEADER_PATH is used to make header-search for slang - the same as ncurses - TD -* modify CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_NCURSES_LIBS and CF_SLANG_LIBS to accommodate - predefinition of $LIBS variable - TD -* corrected autoconf'd compiler flags for Ultrix - TD -* add config.guess & config.sub to allow specialized host-type checks - TD -* guard against redefinition of NO_FILIO_H - TD -* use new autoconf macro CF_SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS -JES -1997-04-14 -* Tweaked LYAddImageMap() in LYMap.c so that it removes all pre-existing - AREA element entries when updating MAP element content, and set the - no_cache anchor element in LYLoadIMGmap() so that the updated MAPs - always will be used when rendering. - FM -* Not using the no_cache change from last entry, until further - investigation. - KW -* Removed two spurious lines under case LYK_PRINT: in LYMainLoop.c - (from an old cut and paste from case LYK_HISTORY: done too late - at night 8-). - FM -1997-04-13 -* Modified the handling of BASE for resolving HREFs in relation to MAP - and AREA elements, and USEMAPs in IMG and OBJECT elements. The - formally released code was treating such links equivalently to the - handling of fragments for positioning the display to ID-ed elements - or NAME-ed Anchors, and assuming they're in the same document if the - associated HREF value begins with a '#', rather than resolving versus - the BASE, and was always resolving versus the BASE for MAP ID or NAME - attributes, and for the AREA HREFs in MAP content. We now always - resolve the MAP ID or NAME attributes versus the current stream's - address (since the MAP must be in it or we wouldn't be handling it) - [...] According to the - original draft and the current HTML 3.2 Proposed Standard, - MAPs need not be in the same document as the IMG or OBJECT elements - which specify links to the MAPs. Because MAPs are "deferred objects", - they logically should be placed above any IMG or OBJECT elements which - reference them in the same document (as is done for SCRIPTs), but this - isn't stated in the specs, nor always done in practice. [...] - ([A]uthors who place the MAPs further down in the same document should be - informed about "deferred objects" and encouraged to move them up 8-). - FM -* Use logical extension of the rules for HREF references also for - USEMAP references to MAPs: relative URL references are resolved with - respect to a BASE element if one is present in the document where they - occur, unless they are URL references without a URL, i.e., only a - fragment starting with '#'. In the latter case they are taken as - internal references referring to a MAP in the same document where - the USEMAP occurs, whether the MAP occurs before the USEMAP (as it - should, according to previous entry) or after the USEMAP. - HREF's in AREA elements follow the same rules. - KW -* Fixed bug in HTML_free() for the case when LYMapsOnly is set. We - didn't create an HText structure for the stream (just scanned it for - MAPs and processed them into LYMap.c's LynxMaps structure), nor do - we want to create a blank one (as was being done) since we didn't - render the stream, nor would we have a me->target set. So we just - free any me elements that might still be allocated (though they - should have been freed already), and return rather than continuing - through the rest of the HTML_free() code. - FM -1997-04-11 -* Fixed bugs in Gridtext.c and HTML.c which could cause mishandling - of anchors in LINKS_ARE_NUMBERS mode if a line wrap occurred in - the numbered bracket or the anchor content following the bracket, - and failures to suppress the numbered bracket if the anchor content - was empty due to ALT="" in an IMG tag, or if Lynx was configured or - toggled to suppress the link for the server-side image map if both - ISMAP and USEMAP attibutes were present in the IMG tag. - FM -* Only using the number-removing code under additional conditions: - ISMAPs which appear together with USEMAPs and which are suppressed - with LYNoISMAPifUSEMAP in LINKS_ARE_NUMBERS mode. - KW -* Extended the disk_save restriction to the print menu as well as - the download menu, and accordingly updated lynx.hlp, lynx.man, and - Lynx_users_guide.html. - HN, FM -1997-04-09 -* Many changes to further the Win32 and 386 ports. An emulation of - the HTVMS_ calls was used to try and cover all the DOS'izms. - A specialized ifdef for pdcurses color mapping added. Some keypad - tweaks. More generalized process spawning. .lynxrc is lynx.rc for 386 - WB -* Tweak to ensure that a newline isn't inserted by virtue of a - FORM start tag if it's in the first line of a list element and - no text precedes it other than a UL's bullet or OL's number - on that line. - FM -* Added pauses for the "Bad HTML" statusline messages under cases - HTML_HTML and HTML_BODY in HTML_end_element(), and eliminated - their checks for an unclosed FORM because we no longer expect - that to cause a serious problem. - LE, FM -* Added a NO_ISMAP_IF_USEMAP configuration symbol and -ismap - command line toggle for suppressing inclusion of a link for the - server-side-image-map if an IMG or OBJECT element has both ISMAP - and USEMAP attributes such that a client-side-image-map link is - created. Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and Lynx_users_guide.html - accordingly. - FM -* Fixed a glitch in HText_endAnchor() of Gridtext.c which could - cause dangling Anchors in LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED mode if the Anchor's - content was handled in a manner which caused it to become zero - length. - FM -* Moved handling for NEWS_POSTING in LYReadCFG.c to the right place, - so that it can actually have an effect. - LV -* Typo fixes for the comment concerning NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL in - userdefs.h - HN, FM -1997-04-08 -* New translation table koi8r_uni for KOI8-R charset. Lynx can now - translate between iso-8859-5 and KOI8-R, at least for the Cyrillic - characters present in both. - KW -* New translation table def7_uni with default 7-bit mappings - (replacement representation). Based on RFC1345 and mnemonic,ds - from ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/ and previous Lynx replacements - in LYCharSets.c and IPA FAQ convention and stuff for Ethiopic and - KOI8-R. It maps many of the accented Latin characters present in - Unicode to their unaccented counterparts. This table is now - used for the "7 bit approximations" display "character set". - KW -* Entities for Latin2 characters added to HTMLDTD.c These also - include many entity names for ASCII characters, and characters - which are in both iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-2. - Hynek Med -* Changes to the non-chartrans translation tables in LYCharSets.c - for Đ, Ð, and ð. Treat Đ more like - an entity for the (Latin-2) Unicode character U+0110, since - that seems to be SGML standard usage. - KW -* Added mappings for some "smart quote" characters to several - translation tables. - KW -* Make makeuctb slightly more flexible (accept unicode range for - mapping to single code point). - KW -1997-04-07 -* Took out special-case handling in the curses-color code for underlining - when lynx is running under Linux using the linux console with color. - The code was introduced on 1997-03-12 and would ignore "smul" capability - info from terminfo or termcap under those circumstances, always using - bold instead of underline. - KW -* Slightly modified the FORM handling patch of 1997-04-05, as follows: - Use a generic test for a non-SGML_EMPTY element for bypassing the - stack pop in HTML_end_element() of HTML.c instead of an explicit - test for HTML_FORM. - KW -1997-04-06 -* Patch for IMG elements which have both ISMAP and USEMAP in effect. - In HTML_start_element() don't generate the "[ISMAP]-" string for - output in this case, unless clickable_images is set TRUE. - KW -1997-04-05 -* Patch for Lynx v2.7.1 to handle invalidly interdigitated container - elements or spurious container end tags without substitutions of - "expected" FORM end tags by the SGML.c stack-based parser, and - without messing up the HTML.c stack-based parser. Reliably succeeds - in not closing FORMs before all of the FORM elements, including - submit buttons, have been processed. Should be reasonably crash - safe (hopefully as safe as the vanilla v2.7.1), but there are no - guarantees. - FM -1997-04-04 -============================================================================ ---- Release of Lynx2-7 + BUGFIXES as Lynx v2.7.1 (April 4, 1997) by FM --- -============================================================================ -* Note that 2.7.1 was not a release from this code set, but all 2.7 -> 2.7.1 - bugfixes and other changes are also included in this code set, in either - identical or equivalent form. Therefore the entries below this point - comprise the 2.7 -> 2.7.1 changes, and additionally other changes made to - the development code set during that time. - KW -1997-04-02 -* add Andrew Kuchling's patch to support mouse-clicks with ncurses. - TD -* refine tests that address porting problems to SCO (detecting struct winsize, - workaround for misdefinition of 'remove') - TD -* refine CF_COLOR_CURSES test to avoid ncurses 1.9.9e bugs. - TD -* refine CF_PATH_PROG to allow for machines that haven't the given programs, - by using only the program name and added configure option - --disable-full-paths to enforce this behavior. - TD -* fixes for some gcc compiler warnings (missing prototypes, unused variables, - uninitialized variables, shadowed variables). - TD -* Fixed typos in LYHistory.c, LYMail.c and LYMain.c which caused - failures of flag setting in the distributed code. - TD -* correct cast in HTFWriter.c that may break if atoi() is not prototyped. - TD -* add top-level makefile target 'maintainer-clean', use this to remove - Lynx.prj - TD -1997-03-31 -* Added a missing check for whether the fragment token is NULL in - LYConvertToURL() of LYUtils.c. Without the check, the for-Unix code - could crash if a local file spec was entered as a startfile or goto - with escaped characters. - KW -* Mod in HTML.c to retain "[INLINE]" as the default ALT string if an - IMG element has an ISMAP attribute but is not in Anchor content such - that it could not in fact function as a server-side image map. - FM -1997-03-27 -* In mainloop(), after the call to HText_pageDisplay() following a change - of the document view, ensure that curdoc.link does not remain set to -1 - if there are any links on the screen. This would otherwise happen if - a document is pushed to the history stack while there are no links, and - later popped (and refreshed) after one or more links have been created. - This change prevents segmentation faults which occurred after creation - of a new file in a previously empty directory via the DIRED menu. The - access to invalid memory only occurred if the screen showing the empty - directory did not have a parent dir reference link (which is always the - case if NO_PARENT_DIR_REFERENCE was specified at compilation time). - KW -* In LYLocal.c, modified the code handling DIRED_MENU to do more careful - checking of the selected file. In addition to "TAG", "FILE", and "DIR", - DIRED_MENU definitions in lynx.cfg now also recognize LINK as a type. - DIRED_MENU definitions with a type field of "LINK" are only used if the - current selection is a symbolic link ("FILE" and "DIR" definitions are - not used in that case). The default menu definitions have been updated - to reflect this change, and to avoid the showing of menu items whose - action would always fail - KW -* Some cleanup to eliminate compiler warnings, remove some unused - variables - KW -* Fixed a typo and added comments for the code in LYMainLoop.c which - decides whether to load the URLs for homepage and/or startfile into - the goto buffer at startup. The typo in the distributed code caused - the startfile URL always to be added to the goto buffer, even if - it had POST content such that it could be resent inappropriately - as a GET request via the goto buffer. - FM -* Added a bsdi-slang target to the Makefile. - Laura Eaves -1997-03-26 -* Changed highlighting of strings found by a WHEREIS ('/') search. - Now uses Christmas tree attribute combination ("all bits are on"), - which with color support translates to COLOR:7. - KW -* Modified the HTStream structure and associated code in src/HTFWriter.c - so that we save and use the relevant content of the associated - HTPresentation structure as two HTFormat elements rather than via a - pointer to the HTPresentation structure itself, because the latter - structure might not be valid under some circumstances when - HTFWriter_free() is called. The distributed code might indirectly - result in segmentation faults during downloading on Linux and some - other flavors of Unix (though they don't occur for most flavors, or - on VMS). - KW -1997-03-23 -* Further reduction of top-level makefile.in by moving definitions out of - WWW/Implementation/*/Makefile, so only one is needed for autoconfigured - build (i.e., WWW/Implementation/unix/Makefile). This highlights the - remaining differences between the top-level targets - TD -* Make configure script generate Unix makefiles in subdirectories, a step - toward being able to run make from any directory, for development - TD -* Add autoconf tests for paths of programs, including sendmail vs mmdf - TD -* Add configure script options for development (--disable-echo, --enable-debug, - --enable-find-leaks, --enable-warnings) - TD -* Allow user to override search path for ncurses header by setting $CFLAGS or - $CPPFLAGS - TD -* Correct array limit in LYCurses.c for SVr4 color support - TD -* Use addstr rather than printw in popup-forms to address concern about 8-bit - characters - TD -1997-03-21 -* Changes in auto config handling of ncurses header location, function - used for reading terminal input, some other system dependent tweaks - (including SCO broken remove, time.h) - TD -* Fix for popup handling with late ncurses versions (uses wprintw - instead of waddstr in LYForms.c) - TD -* Mods in LYPrint.c to use ".txt" as the output file extension for - all rendered text/html files regardless of their original extension. - The distributed code was doing this only for ones with an extension - of ".html". The original extension still is retained if the file - is being output as source. - FM -* Added protection against passing a NULL pointer for path_url to - render_item() from dired_options() in LYLocal.c. - GN -1997-03-20 -* Tweaked the protection against URLs directed to port 19 or port 25 so - that it can't be circumvented via lead zeros in the port numbers. - FM -* Changed the compilation default so as not to send From MIME headers to - http or https servers. The default can still be changed via lynx.cfg. - Replaced the -nofrom disabling switch to a -from switch for toggling - the compilation or configuration default. Sending the From header - has become widely regarded as an invasion of privacy risk, particularly - in conjunction with cookie support. - FM -* Corrected a typo in the lynx.cfg comments concerning TRUSTED_LYNXCGI - rules. - KW -1997-03-17 -* Mods of LYNews.c and LYMail.c to prepend a "-- " separator before - appending the LYNX_SIG_FILE signature file to news and email - messages. - FM -* Made the installation mode 755 in the top-level Makefile. The - distributed code used 555, and some install commands were unable - to do the strip. - LV -1997-03-14 -* Corrected typos and expanded the comments concerning lynxcgi symbols - in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM -* Modified SGML.c to handle the numeric character reference ™ as - the named entity ™ also in the non-chartrans case. The - trademark character (given by ™ or ™) will be shown as - "(TM)" as the ASCII substitution unless the current display character - has a code point for the trademark character or unless overridden by a - chartrans translation table. The code of 1997-02-25 prevented showing - the trademark sign as "(R)" but did not work in all non-chartrans - cases. - KW -* Include time.h via tcp.h for SVR4 systems. The tcp.h header does include - sys/time.h for Unix systems, but this apparently doesn't get struct tm - and extern char * ctime() declared for SVR4. - FM -1997-03-13 -* Added protection in LYGetFile.c against connections to the port 25 - ESMTP service. - FM -1997-03-12 -* (chartrans) Make compilation in src/chrtrans less verbose, no more - generating automatic *.h_old backup copies. - KW -* Refinement to the SVr4 (ncurses) color support, allowing it - to more closely model the slang support. - TD -1997-03-11 -* Tweak for command line parsing of files with no URL in LYUtils.c. - Also added ability to pass partial domain names in the DJGPP version. - WB -* Added the closing function for Win32 TCP in LYExit.c (did anyone see a - difference?!). - WB -* Altered LYCurses.c so that the DJGPP version could spawn other programs - without certain death. - WB -* Ignoring the whole ~/lynx.cfg problem (expanding '~') entirely for the - Win32 version for now. - WB -* Some other tweaks for Win32 and DJGPP - WB -* Added protection in LYGetFile.c against denial of service attacks via - the port 19 CHARGEN service. The distributed code left Lynx or proxies - vulnerable to such attacks via direct or redirection URLs. - FM -1997-03-10 -* Fixed error in the handling of numeric character references with values - greater than 255 in SGML.c. The distributed code was breaking after - substitutions instead of falling through to reset the string chunk and - recycle the terminator if not a semi-colon. - FM -1997-03-09 -* Integrated (simple) color, auto-configure patches with 2.7 following - chrtrans patch - TD (T.Dickey), JES (J.Spath) -1997-03-08 -* Fixed error in the switch positioning of checks for XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND - and wais_proxy in LYReadCFG.c. The distributed code had them reversed - under case 'W' versus case 'X'. - PDS -* Expanded the copyright and licensing statements in the -version - output. - FM -1997-03-04 -* Corrected the offset computation in textsearch() of LYSearch.c so that - WHEREIS searches repeated on a page with no links seek the target - starting at the line immediately following the last displayed. The - distributed code was setting a greater offset. - JES -1997-03-02 -* Don't entify post content for the showinfo display, now that we are - making it an XMP block in that display to handle all of the supported - enctypes. - FM -* Patches to fix mail and FTP for Win32 (LYMail.c, HTFile.c). - WB -* Makefiles to compile chartrans code for Win32. - WB -* (chartrans) Minor cleanups (makeuctb.c, chrtrans/Makefile, HTPlain.c) - to enable successful compilation on Win32. - KW -1997-02-28 -* Changed all references to "image/*" to just "image" in the userdefs.h - and lynx.cfg comments about XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND.

An implementation based on the -simple observation above is relatively straightforward, for simple -tables. On encountering the start of a TABLE element, Lynx generates -output as usual for LMTS. But it also keeps track of cell positions -and lengths in parallel. If all goes well, that additional information -is used to fix up the already formatted output lines when the TABLE -ends.

One advantage is that we always -have a 'safe' fallback to well-understood traditional LMTS formatting: -TRST won't make more complex tables look worse than before. - -What are 'simple' tables? A table is simple enough if each of its TR -rows translates into at most one display line in LMTS formatting (excluding -leading and trailing line breaks), and the width required by each row -(before as well as after fixup) does not exceed the available screen size. -Note that this excludes all tables where some of the cells are marked up as -block elements ('paragraphs'). Tables that include nested TABLE elements -are always specifically excluded, but the inner tables may be subject to -TRST handling. Also excluded are some constructs that indicate that markup -was already optimized for Lynx (or other browsers with no or minimal table -support): TABLE in PRE, use of TAB. - -The description so far isn't completely accurate. In many cases, tables are -not simple enough according to the last paragraph, but parts of each TR row -can still benefit from some TRST treatment. Some partial treatment is done -for some tables in this grey zone, which may or may not help to a better -display, depending on how the table is used. This is an area where tweaks -in the future are most expected, and where the code's behavior is currently -not well defined. - -One possible approach: -- The table is 'simple' according to all criteria set out in the previous - paragraph, except that some cells at the beginning and/or end of TR rows - may contain block elements (or other markup that results in formatting - like separate paragraphs). -- There is at most one range of (non-empty) table cells in each row whose - contents is not paragraph-formatted, and who are rendered on one line - together by LMTS, separate from the paragraph-formatted cells.

Most of the typical tables in typical Web pages aren't -used in a way that can benefit from the TRST approach. Parts of such -tables may still end up getting shifted left or right by the TRST code -when that doesn't improve anything, but I haven't seen it make things -really worse so far (with the current code). - -TRST and Partial Display ------------------------- -[ Partial display mode is the feature which allows viewing and scrolling -of pages while they are loaded, without having to wait for a complete -transfer. ] During partial display rendering, table lines can sometimes -be shown in the original formatting, i.e. with horizontal fixups not yet -applied.

Sometimes the display -may flicker: first the preliminary rendering of table lines is shown, then -after loading is finished it is replaced by the fixed-up version.

A link can suggest the target's - charset in this way. - - - Support for ACCEPT-CHARSET attribute of FORM tags. - - - EXPERIMENTAL, currently enabled only for Linux console: - can (attempt to) automatically switch terminal mode and load new - code pages on change of display character set. - - - some minor changes: sometimes invalid characters were displayed in a hex - notation Uxxxx (helps debugging, but I also regard it as at least not - worse than showing the wrong char without warning), now they are not - displayed to reduce garbage. - -Additions/changes to user interface: - - - many new Display Character Sets are available on O)ptions screen. - (One can use arrow keys, HOME, END etc. for cycling through the list - or use selection from popup box, as for other options.) - - - new command line flags: - -assume_charset=... assume this as charset for documents that don't - specify a charset parameter in HTTP headers - -assume_local_charset=... assume this as charset of local file - -assume_unrec_charset=... in case a charset parameter is not recognized; - docs also available as ASSUME_CHARSET etc. in lynx.cfg - In "Advanced User" mode, ASSUME_CHARSET can be changed during a session - from the Options Screen. - - - The "Raw" toggle (from -raw flag, '@' key, or Options screen) - o toggles the assumption "Default remote charset is same as Display - Character Set" on or off. - Toggling of the assumed charset is between Display Character Set and - the specified ASSUME_CHARSET or, if they are the same, between the - specified ASSUME_CHARSET and ISO-8859-1. - o The default for raw mode now depends on the Display Character Set as - well as on the specified ASSUME_CHARSET value. - o should work as before for CJK charsets (turning CJK-mode on or off). - o If the effective ASSUME_CHARSET and the Display Character Set are - unchanged from the ISO-8859-1 default, toggling "Raw" may have some - additional effect for characters that can't be translated. - (Try the "Transparent" Display Character Set for more "rawness".) - - -Requirements: same as for Lynx in general :) - -The chartrans code is now merged with Wayne Buttle's changes for -32-bit MS Windows and DOS/DJGPP, with Thomas Dickey's and Jim Spath's -emerging auto-configure mechanism, and with BUGFIXES from Foteos -Macrides. See the accompanying file CHANGES for the current -status. - - -A warning: -In some cases undisplayable bytes may still get sent to the terminal -which are then interpreted as control chars, there is no protection -against if strange things are defined in the table files. - - -HOW TO INSTALL: - -(4) before compiling: - - Check top level makefile or Makefile and userdefs.h as usual. - - NOTE that there is a new "#define" in userdefs.h for MAX_CHARSETS - near the end (in "Section 3."). - -(5) Building Lynx: - - Compiling the chartrans code is now integrated into the normal - installation procedures for UNIX (configure script) and other - platforms. - - What's supposed to happen (in addition to the usual things when - building Lynx): in the new subdirectory src/chrtrans, make should - first compile the auxiliary program `makeuctb', then invoke that - program to create xxxxx_yyy.h files from the provided xxxxx_yyy.tab - translation table files. (See README.* files in src/chrtrans for - more info.) - - If all goes well, just invoking make from the top-level Lynx dir - as usual should do everything automatically. If not, the makefiles - may need some tweaking... or: - -(6) Some things to look at if compilation fails: - - In src/chrtrans/UCkd.h there is a typedef for an unsigned 16bit - numeric type which may need to be changed for your system. - See comment near top there. - - For recompiling Lynx, `make clean' should not be necessary if only - files in src/chrtrans have been changed. On the other hand - may not propagate to the src/chrtrans directory (depending how things - are going with auto-config), you may have to cd to that directory - and `make clean' there to really clean up there. - -(7) To customize (add/change translation tables etc.): - - See README.* files in src/chrtrans. - Make the necessary changes there, then recompile. - (A general `make clean' should not be necessary, but make sure - the ...uni.h file in src/chrtrans gets regenerated.) - - Note that definition of new character entities (if e.g., you want - Lynx to recognize Ž) are not covered by these table files, - they have to be listed in entities.h. - - _If you are on a Linux system_ and using Lynx on the console (i.e. - not xterm, not a dialup *into* the Linux box), you can compile - with -DEXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH. This is very useful for testing - the various Display Character Sets, Lynx will try to automatically - change the console state. You need to have the Linux kbd package - installed, with a working `setfont' command executable by the user, - and the right font files - check the source in src/UCAuto.c for - the files used and/or to change them! - NOTE that with this enabled, - - Lynx currently will not clean up the console state at exit, - it will probably left like the last Display Character Set you used. - - Loading a font is global across _all_ virtual text consoles, so - using Lynx (compiled with this flag) may change the appearance of - text on other consoles (if that text contains characters - beyond US-ASCII). - -(8) Some suggested Web pages for testing: - - <URL: http://www.tezcat.com/~kweide/lynx-chartrans/test/> - - <URL: http://www.isoc.org:8080/>, - especially - <URL: http://www.isoc.org:8080/liste_ml.htm>. - - <URL: http://www.accentsoft.com/un/un-all.htm> - -(9) Please report bugs, unexpected behavior, etc. - to <lynx-dev@nongnu.org>. - - Suggestions for improvement would be welcome, as well as - contributed translation tables (for stuff that is not available - at ftp://dkuug.dk or ftp://ftp.unicode.org). - -KW 1997-11-06 diff --git a/docs/README.cookies b/docs/README.cookies deleted file mode 100644 index af044f92..00000000 --- a/docs/README.cookies +++ /dev/null @@ -1,60 +0,0 @@ -README.cookies - -Cookie handling when using the lynx browser: - -General Usage on a unix system: - -Cookie handling may be set so that you read them in on session start up from a -saved file, and to restore all cookies to that file on session close. - -Warning and Disclaimer: - -The lynx browser provides great opportunity to examine and make decisions about -cookies by default, but some users just want the speed benefits of the lynx -browser without the prompting for a decision to accept or reject the cookie. -Should you think that this is your situation, please read this: - -There are a number of privacy issues with accepting all cookies blindly, not -the least of which is that you are storing evidence of your browsing activity -into a regular disk file. - -You have been warned.

What are root certificates? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Making a secure connection is like sending your valuables (for storage or -consumption) to somebody who agreed to be at a prearranged place. To -guard the valuables on the way there, you can ask for a police escort; this is -what https:// connections are about. However, it does not make any sense to -have an escort if the goods are transfered to a random person who happens to be -at this place; one needs to certify the identity of the receiver as well. - -The certification process is a chain; when site A wants to certify that it is -actually what it claims, it actually says "Check this certificate with site B"; -to proceed, one needs to certify that site B is what it claims, so B may -redirect to site C etc. For this process to stop, some sites claim -"You must know my certificate, check it yourself". These certificates are -"root certificates"; one cannot verify such a site unless one has the -certificate for the "end of its certification chain". If you don't have the -relevant root certificate in your local certificates file, it means that -you don't trust anyone to vouch for the authenticity of the site. - -So one should have a collection of known certificates from several well-known -sites known as "Root Certification Authorities". Most sites for large-scale -businesses have certificates which will eventually resolve to these places. -Such certicates represent people like Verisign that are in the business of -confirming the identity of servers, etc. - -Additionally, since having yourself certified through another site costs, -some sites avoid this cost via presenting "end-of-chain certificates". -One should have a way to obtain these certificates via other means than -insecure Internet connection (e.g., one can walk into the office and copy -the certificate file to a floppy). These are so-called "Self-signed -certificates"; they are "root certificates" as well. The locally-installed -securely obtained copies of such certificates are referred to as -"local certificates". (See 'What is "Snake Oil Ltd."' below.) - -If you are presented with a locally-unresolvable root certificate, and you -*believe* that you are really talking to the site, and not someone -in between (who is either completely simulating the site or relaying -your requests onto the real site - called a "man in the middle" attack), -you will still have an encrypted connection. Otherwise, you should act -as though the site was an impostor, unless and until you manage to get -a root certificate from a trustworthy source, and that root certificate -represents someone that you would trust to have vetted the site you -want to connect to. - -Local certificates are stored in SSL_CERT_FILE (this "cert bundle", usually -named cert.pem, contains several signatures for "Root Certification -Authorities") and SSL_CERT_DIR (which has a signature per file, and usually -contain local copies of self-signed certificates). - -There are three crucial considerations to be added to this picture: - - a) While there are ways to ensure that the receivers are who they claim, - there is absolutely no technological way to verify how *trustworthy* - the receiving party is. It does not make sense to secure-send your - valuables to a certified receiver if this receiver is a crook (or will - just keep them later in a publicly accessible place). - - b) "VeriSign Syndrome". For the above scheme of "a chain of trust" to work, - the "Root Certification Authorities" should be *very* trustworthy - high-integrity entities. Unfortunately, there are certain doubts that - this is so. E.g., fall 2003, VeriSign started an attack on DNS scheme - which could disrupt the whole architecture of Internet (hijacking *all* - unclaimed Internet addresses and redirecting them to a promotional site; - google for VeriSign DNS hijack). - - One major company even issued a Microsoft certificate to a company - other than Microsoft, and there had to be a Windows critical update - to block that certificate. - - c) Keep in mind that the "big 2 browsers" are adding an increasing - number of root certificates, and most users fail to realise that they - are putting a trust in the supply chain for the browser to give them - the certificates of reliable organisations (the browser suppliers could - make bad choices, or the browser could have been hacked before you got - it). - - Incidentally, standard browsers come with certificates representing - very different levels of identity verification, but most people accept - all of those supplied with the big 2 as equally valid. - -Q. How to obtain root certificates? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Certificate files, such as cert.pem, are security critical; you have to -trust whoever supplies it to you; all your certification process is no more -trustworthy than the site you downloaded cert.pem from. So you shouldn't just -accept any offer. - -One way is to copy them from a machine which already obtained them in a secure -way. Another one is to extract them from a web browser which was itself -obtained in a secure way (see "How to extract certificates from Internet -Explorer" below). If anything else fails, obtaining a privately-generated -bundle from third-parties, such as - - http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/encryption/ca-bundle.crt.text - -is *not* much better than no certificates at all, but may avoid some warnings -from applications. One of the places which has a bundle is the mod_ssl site. - -Q. Should you trust this distribution system? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -It is very hard to imagine a situation when the answer is different from -"Absolutely not!". - -Indeed, obtaining the certificates is only half of the problem. -The certificates are going to be checked by the SSL library. Can you trust -these executables (DLLs)? Did you obtain the library via a secure connection? -Are you sure that the place you obtained it from has reasonable security -practice, so that the archive could not be tampered with? The latter place -most probably did not build the DLLs themselves; chances are they just -store what a fourth-party supplied them. Was *that* file transfer done via -secure channels? Can you trust this fourth-party so that it did not insert -Trojans? - -Chances are that all of these questions are answered "No". There are still -major problems with bootstrapping security via the Internet... - -What about the application which uses these DLLs? Do you have any reason to -trust it? What about the OS itself? Did it come from a trustworthy source -via trustworthy channels? Are you sure it was not tampered with? - -Q. How to compile and link with OpenSSL libraries? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Put the files from include and lib to your emx directory, -or directories on C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH. -Note that openssl should become a subdirectory of your include directory. -If you need .lib files you can create them using emxomf. - -The supplied library files link against the new renamed dlls open_ssl and -cryptsll. - -See the doc directory for some information and visit -http://www.columbia.edu/~ariel/ssleay/ for more infos. - - -Q. Why do you need your own keys and certificates? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -There are several situations: having a server which accepts secure connections; -authenticating yourself to a server by means other than login/password, -sending S-Mime crypto-mail, authenticating from a client browser to a server. -In each of these situations one needs keys. - -The following sites may be useful: - - http://www.pseudonym.org/ssl/ssl_cook.html#environment - http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.53b/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#8.2 - -Q.

Select all the certificates, then "export" to a file. -It will be saved as a PKCS#7 file, with suffix ".p7b". You can call -it "ca_bundle.p7b".

Then lynx can check the certificates against the -set of certificates that you (or Microsoft) trusts, and you won't get the -warning message any more. - -Q. How to install a self-signed certificate? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -When you would like to trust a self-signed (non-commercial) certificate you will -need to get hold of the actual file. If it's a cert local to your network you -can ask the sysadmin to make it available for download as a link on a webpage. - -If such file is not human-readable it's probably DER formatted and will need to -be converted to PEM format to allow openssl to use it. - -To convert DER formatted certificates into something openssl can deal with: - -Save the cert as site_name.crt in a directory.

There is almost no -online documentation available regarding how to use openssl's certificate -management with other programs, so this will accompany lynx and hopefully -encourage good practical security for unix clients. - -Lynx relies on openssl to not only encrypt connections over https, but also to -determine whether it should even accept a certificate and establish a secure -connection with a remote host. Because of this reliance upon openssl by lynx, -most of this tutorial deals with how to use openssl to "install" both -vendor-provided CA cert bundles as well as self-signed certs from trusted sources -and, most importantly, how to get them recognized by lynx. - -While lynx on many systems will transparently accept valid certificates, not -all systems enjoy such functionality. Further, as noted above, older versions -of lynx do not perform any validity checks on a certificate. - -There is also the common case of wanting to trust, use and install a -self-signed certificate from a known server source and have it be trusted by -client programs. - -Briefly, the procedure will involve confirming the default system location for -certificates, setting values for SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE in -the environment, and converting and hashing the certificates using openssl -utilities to enable recognition. - -THE CURRENT SITUATION: - -Prior to lynx2.8.5dev9, lynx did not check at all for certificate validity. - -Since lynx2.8.5.dev9, lynx has reported this openssl error: - -SSL error:unable to get local issuer certificate-Continue?
