If blank, use display character set - (default, compatibility). Currently implemented only for "subject" in - "print-to-email" - LP -* fix SGML.c so invalid characters are not dispalayed in hex UHHHH but just - omitted as already done for plain/text mode - LP -* fix download' suggested file name (8bit) - LP -* correct logic error in "Change Location" command, and allow "~" there in - addition to the existing "~/" prefix (reported by Ismael Cordeiro) - TD -* ifdef'd out "don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese" from dev.23, - with symbol EXP_JAPANESE_SPACES, FIX_JAPANESE_SPACES based on discussion with - HN, LP - TD -* correct missing '\' in generated sed-script for "make install-help" rule, - which changed a couple of "/html" substrings to ".html" (reported by BL) - TD -* modify cfg_defs.sh script to handle empty token in config.cache, e.g., a line - such as "foo=${foo=}" (reported by Philip Chong <pchong@boopsie.ml.org>) - TD -* modify so that lynx_cfg_infopage() and lynx_compile_opts() pages are not - invoked when Lynx is running -anonymous - TD -1998-09-22 (2.8.1pre.1) -* correct logic error in parse_restrictions() which caused infinite loop, - probably from changes in dev.8 (reported by HN) - TD -* add SHOW_KB_RATE symbol to lynx.cfg to allow user to control whether - HTReadProgress should show KB/sec or bytes/sec - TD -* modify HTReadProgress to allow user to display KB/sec or bytes/sec - BL -* add/use new function LYstyles(), to force initialization of styles[] array - when it is used outside HTML.c; fixes a problem with Lynx not using styles - for files listed on the command line - TD -* correct keymap strings for F1 and DO_KEY - TD -* add keymap table entries for F1, to accommodate slang which appears to ignore - terminal description when keymaps are defined - TD -1998-09-20 (2.8.1dev.29) -* add checks/warnings for user agent string in forms-options menu - TD -* change render_item to force a '/' before substituted path or directory strings - if (as in OS/2 EMX) absolute filenames do not normally begin with a '/' -TD -* modify HTnameOfFile_WWW() to interpret an empty acc_method as a local file, - allowing its use in permit_location(), making OS/2 EMX dired-mode change - permissions work - TD -* make download and print menus a little more compact in intermediate/advanced - user modes - TD -* correct filename shown in download menu - LP -* change behavior of configure --enable-forms-options switch. By default, both - old and new options menu are available via a command-line toggle - "-forms_options" or lynx.cfg statement "FORMS_OPTIONS:TRUE/FALSE". Configure - --enable-forms-options now _disables_ old-style code, which is - ifdef'ed with "#ifndef EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS" - LP -* add more pointer-checks in GridText.c so that "lynx LYNXDOWNLOAD://" does - not crash (reported by Wilson Cheung) - TD -* add special case to handle NNTPSERVER environment variable, which had been - lowercased as part of LYReadCFG.c cleanup (reported by Wilson Cheung - <wcheung@netcom.com>) - TD -* modify info-page to add link to new internal page showing the noncomment - lines from lynx.cfg - LP, TD -* use function wwwName to reduce clutter - LP -* create "lynx.cfg Information" page, comments skipped, "include" OK. - The link is available from '='InfoPage and 'O'ptions menu. - Since DJGPP/Win32 binary have no built-in absolute path for distributions - lynx.cfg those ports will look for a copy of lynx.cfg in lynx_help/ - for most advanced info/comments (if you made http:// depository for lynx help - please care of it) - LP -* tweak helpfilepath URL (for DOSPATH only) - LP -* some cleanup of cp852, cp850, cp775 - LP -1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.28) -* minor fix to make PRCS ProjectDate print in "dd mmm yyyy" form - TD -1998-09-17 (2.8.1dev.27) -* minor fixes for recent (dev24 and dev25) chartrans changes - LP -* add LYNX_DATE definitions in userdefs.h; Info Page now shows the date of your - lynx along with version number and a link to the latest sources. - LP -* use ECHO_CC symbol in install-help rule to control whether the sed commands - are echoed - TD -* corrected install-help rule to avoid getting compress-suffix repeated in - the generated/updated files - TD -* documentation nit for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (Michael Warner) -* use getsockname_s rather than getsockname for djgpp (from patch by Gisle - Vanem) - DK -* add .bz2 suffix to lynx.cfg and HTInit.c, for bzip2 utility - DK -* modify store_cookie to suppress warning message for invalid domain if Lynx is - setup to accept all cookies - LV -* modify/expand LYLocalFileToURL() function, getting rid of most places where - inline concatenation is used for "file://localhost/<filename>", as well - as eliminating a number of static buffers - TD -* move fallback definitions for POSIX S_ISLNK, etc., out of NeXT ifdef's, to - make this compile on Apollo (reported by David Eaton) - TD -* restructured pathname-tests in LYLocal.c, using common utility functions - ok_stat, ok_lstat, ok_file_or_dir to simplify freeing pointer allocated - by HTfullURL_toFile - TD -* modify HTLocalName, making it a macro around a more flexible function - HTnameOfFile_WWW, to reuse logic for stripping off "file://localhost" and - "file:" prefixes, fixing some places where a spurious '/' would be left in - EMX local filenames (other macros: HTfullURL_toFile, HTpartURL_toFile) - TD -* modify configure script macro CF_PATH_PROGS for OS/2 EMX, so that compiled-in - utility pathnames work - TD -* use HTDOS.c module for OS/2 EMX, since it has similar device syntax - TD -* correct logic for wrapping long lines, to not use the rightmost column of the - screen, fixes a problem with duplicated character (reported by LP) - TD -* correct logic for dumping screen to file, so that blank lines are retained, - not counted in the logic for pruning soft-newlines which supports wrapped - lines - TD -* add info and user messages to traces - TD -1998-09-12 (2.8.1dev.26) -* change behavior of NSL_FORK and related I/O (patch by BL) - - Make URL guessing (www.huh.com? www.huh.org? www.huh.net?) interruptible. - - Make URL guessing from the command line interruptible. - - Use select() instead of FIONREAD. This makes it work on OSes where - previously it only *looked* like it was working. - - select() on stdin as well as the child pipe, when using [n]curses (not - SLANG). This allows interrupt to be processed instantly, without - up-to-1-second delay. - - While looping, 1 second at a time, bail out after "too many" (currently 50) - loops: just in case something weird happens, like select() returning some - unexpected error that we ignore. - - Make sure child processes are always killed and reaped. - - Close pipe ends as soon as possible. - - Now write the length down the pipe (using a known-to-the-program length of - sizeof(int)) first -- this both helps workaround old CMU TCP bugs and the - fact that select() doesn't let us get number of bytes ready, like FIONREAD - does. -* change default for NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL to TRUE (patch by HN) -* use url for "W3C HTML Validation Service" rather than "A Kinder, Gentler HTML - Validator" -* update url for HTML Quick Reference Guide (report by LE) - TE -* modify verbose images to show ISMAPs and USEMAPs (patch by LE). -* fix typos in AttrList.h, LYStrings.h (reported by LV & HN) - TD -* Chartrans recovery and cleanup: by introducing an invariant - "current_char_set and UCLYhndl_for_unspec always valid charsets" we solve - possible problems with invalid/undeclared charsets. Use - 'safeUCGetLYhndl_byMIME()' for reading charset information from - lynx.cfg/userdefs.h/command line switches to recover possible typos by - fallback to ISO-8859-1; If UCLYhndl_for_unrec or UCLYhndl_HTFile_for_unspec - not set explicitely - now fallback to UCLYhndl_for_unspec (was before, but - not clear in certain places). Add comments to UCMap.h, add comments on - chartrans initialization in LYMain.c. UCAssume_localMIMEcharset and - UCAssume_unrecMIMEcharset now removed (UCLYhandl_* do all the stuff). - LP -* LYCharSets.c: LYRawMode code simplified and comments added. It was realized - that UCAssume_MIMEcharset may differ from its handler as LYRawMode history. - Also: HTMLSetRawModeDefault() moved into HTMLUseCharacterSet() to reduce - clutter, declare HTMLSetCJKCharacterSet() as PRIVATE. - LP -* more "big5" bugs fixed (in HTMIME.c and HTFile.c); function Set_HTCJK() added - to LYCharSets.c - LP -* LYCharUtils.c: META charset code corrected against 2.7.2, obsolete code - removed - LP -* partial mode now repaint the screen in one stage with a complete display - ('display_lines' received, fix in HTPartialDisplay()). Incremental rendering - of the first page may be annoying on slow connection (reported by Nelson - Henry Eric <nelsonhe@nara.kindai.ac.jp>) - LP -* temp fix for HText_trimHightext side effect from partial mode by introducing - a flag in HText_beginInput(), so this side effect still only happens for long - documents with forms input mixed with normal href= link. - LP -* print menu: fixed document URL near the top (was temp file name) - LP -* forms-options menu: fixed screen size in Novice mode - LP -* limit length of strings copied via tok_values[] in LYCookies.c - TD -* clean up a few memory leaks in cookie_add_acceptlist() and - cookie_add_rejectlist() in LYCookie.c. These were leaking 4 bytes for each - entry in COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS - BJP -* fix to LYLoadCookies() which was causing duplicate invalid cookies to be - loaded - BJP -* split out install-doc rule in top-level makefile to install extra documentation - files in $(libdir)/lynx_doc (request by HN) - TD -* improved algorithm to set 'secure_value', used in forms-options to circumvent - spoofing (based on comments from Mike Castle) - TD -* integrate WB's mouse changes (see 1997-04-24) for page-up/down into the Unix - flavors of mouse support (e.g., ncurses and slang) - TD -* use ncurses define_key to implement lynx-keymaps (see dev.10) - TD -* modify slang keymap code to work with slang 0.99-38 - TD -* replace several ifdef'd pathname constructions to use LYAddPathToHome() - TD -* make keymaps file consistently named on Unix and VMS - TD -* remove redundant "Lynx" from internal-page titles (suggested by LP) - TD -* remove install-log makefile target, generate cfg_defs.h file directly from - lynx_cfg.h and config.cache, to compile-in the configuration-definitions - rather than rely on external file lynx_site.txt - TD -1998-09-06 (2.8.1dev.25) -* corrected compiled-in path for lynx_site.txt - TD -* implement logic for exec-links in forms-options page - TD -* add configure options --enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts - TD -* correct logic for show-color in forms-options page (reported by DK) - TD. -* implement logic to set $DISPLAY in forms-options page - TD -* add/use functions LYsetXDisplay() and LYgetXDisplay() to reduce clutter - TD -* retain help-link on internal pages only for those where the pages would be - pushed onto the history stack, and only in novice mode - TD -* absorb LYSystem.h into LYUtils.h, adding LYSystem() and LYSysShell functions - to LYUtils.c to hide djgpp clutter - TD -* limit strings passed to mailer in LYMail.c to 7-bit ASCII, converting other - characters to '?'. This guards against trash on the end of the mailing - address in a mailto link (from Duncan Simpson <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>). -* add fallback definitions for <sys/stat.h> S_xxx macros to tcp.h (from report - by Francisco A Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu> that OpenStep 4.0 - lacks definition for S_IWOTH) - TD -* modify quote_pathname() so that for DJGPP it does not put single-quotes - around the result - DK -* correct a missing assignment to turn bold off in split_line (GridText.c) - LE -* Fixed: forms input in display_partial mode! Previously hightext was printed - at wrong positions while loading was in process (try -debug_partial to see - the bug). Fix made in HText_pageDisplay: we call HText_trimHightext() which - was the main part of HText_endAppend() before. Seems no more problems - reported from incremental rendering mode! - LP -* set PARTIAL mode ON by default, unless it disabled in lynx.cfg or by - configure --disable-partial option - LP -* restore temporary -debug_partial switch, broken in dev.23. - LP -* made trace in HText_appendCharacter() a little more readable - for lynx special characters - LP -* chartrans: human-readable character set names in Options Menu now changed - according to Netscape 4.x style - "language (MIMEname)", it looks more useful - and reduce chaos in people's heads. Documentation corrected - (option_help.html/Lynx_User_guide.html). Minor tip: "Central and Eastern - European" was truncated to "Eastern European" because of space limitation in - popup menu. (Changes in chrtrans/*.tbl, LYCharSets.c, also docs including - userdefs.h/lynx.cfg). Since names were changed, users on display other than - iso-8859-1 should go to options menu and resave .lynxrc (and probably correct - lynx.cfg - character_set now uses MIME notation in sync with other charset - settings, although complete name string is still acceptable for this field). - - LP -* an attempt made to tweak the code replacing lynx internal 'main' charset '0' - (iso-8859-1 in fact) with its MIME name. - LP -* rename ifdef EXP_8BIT_TOUPPER in favor of lynx.cfg switch FORCE_8BIT_TOUPPER - - LP -* remove a lot of "(char **)" casts from HTML.c which obscured some type - mismatches - TD -* add/use functions LYIsHtmlSep, LYAddHtmlSep, LYTrimHtmlSep, LYIsPathSep, - LYAddPathSep, LYTrimPathSep to reduce clutter - TD -* fix a bug, present at least since dev.17, where lynx can't download files if - it is started from one of the root directories of a disk drive, since it is - trying to write to "c:\\file.ext", rather than "c:\file.ext" - DK -* correct a comment in userdefs.h; commercial Japanese sites are named with - co.jp, not com.jp (LV). -* correct some debug messages in LYCookie.c - BJP -* fix a missing </h1> in ShowInfo.c - SKY -* modified '+'->' ' conversion to allow Unix commands to have '+' beginning - options - TD -* sorted all option items (i.e., static variables, postoptions(), gen_options()) - according to the sections they are in - SKY -* added '+'->' ' conversion for forms-options values - SKY -* centered 'save to disk' and put a dash between 'accept' and 'reset' for - clarity - SKY -* add "-cookie_file=" commandline option to specify cookie file - BJP -* add "cookie_file=" option to .lynxrc - BJP -* add "cookie_file:" option to lynx.cfg - BJP -* change default cookie file to "Home_Dir()/cookies" (or sys$login:cookies - for VMS, which may or may not work, DOS also needs to be checked) - BJP -* add cookies switch to options menu - LP -* Security considerations and form-based options: items restricted in - gen_options() should be ALSO restricted under the same conditions in - postoptions() to prevent a limited access user to edit option's HTML code - manually and submit a restricted items. This may be not a good idea to have - two functions in sync but those functions are synchronized anyway. Please - read comments inside the functions if change something! - LP -* add new functions BeginInternalPage and EndInternalPage to reduce clutter in - code that sets up internal pages (email from LP). -* change version in makefile.in to 2-8-1 (reported by DK). -* the code in GridText that adds control characters to the current line - does not test for buffer overflow. Normally Lynx gets away with this because - it will wrap the current line as soon as the line exceeds the display width, - but if you have a file with nothing but control characters with no - displayable text in-between (a few thousand hidden links will do), then Lynx - bombs. Modified to silently ignore excess control characters as well as add - a few extra bytes when allocating the line buffer to allow for a bunch of - control characters followed by a kanji or utf-8 sequence. (patch by Dick - Wesseling <ftu@fi.uu.nl>) -* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTInit.c, which is not used, since - src/HTInit.c has this functionality - TD -* change ID="<number>" in Lynx_users_guide.html to ID="<name>" to appease - weblint; tested with IE&NS - TD. -* Al's convention of '#<number>' into '#<id name>' in Lynx_users_guide.html is - included - SKY -1998-08-31 (2.8.1dev.24) -* re-correct DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS (reported by LV) - TD -1998-08-29 (2.8.1dev.23) -* make interim fix for gzip'd html files until we can resolve portability - issues raised by SKY's renaming - TD -* implement LY_SOFT_NEWLINE, to mark places where wrapping is done in - HText_appendCharacter, to allow printing to join lines back together - (reported by LP) - TD -* correct missing assignment in change to HText_appendCharacter, fix a core - dump - TD -* removed SKY's change that attempted to skip help-links, since it causes a core - dump, e.g., when viewing source - TD -* use LYCloseTempFP in forms-options code and LYPrint.c where file was opened - with LYOpenTemp, to fix a core dump - TD -* All XYZ_TITLE defines of UIPs (User Interface Page) are collected in - LYMessages_en.h for multi language support - SKY -* Head and H1 of each UIP is standardized; reduced to 1 line. In this line a - context sensitive Help anchor introduced which is skipped by default; i.e., - 'd' will directly goto 'Save to Disk' not to the help anchor - SKY -* Download and Print UIPs are divided into 'Standard' and 'Local additions'. - Current and Suggested Filenames are printed on the page which was hidden on - the status line or accessed only by '=' - SKY -* Information page now has links to either development or lynx home pages - depending on LYNX_RELEASE define. Besides compile options can also be - accessed on this page: $helpdir/lynx_site.txt. A file derived from - 'config.cache'. Its corresponding makefile macro is 'install-log' - SKY -* New Form-based options page is re-organized; logical sections are introduced - and sorted alphabetically (except for 'User Mode' - SKY -* All links in the help files are marked, i.e., each - 'href="../_filename.html_#section"' is converted to - 'href="../@FILENAME@#section"'. This is useful if a help filename or - link has to be changed through out whole package. -* 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' is introduced which contains - FILENAME=_filename.html_ definitions. Format and details are given in the - file - SKY -* All help files are renamed from '.html' -> '.html_' - SKY -* For context sensitive help links in UIPs 'src/LYHelp.h' is created with all - the filenames marked like the help files. It will be included from - LYGlobal.h. In 'src/makefile.in' necessary changes are done to load the - filenames from 'lynx_help/help_files.txt' - SKY -* To be able to compress help files '--enable-gzip-help' option is added in - configure script. In 'makefile' 'install-help:' is updated. - If COMPRESS_PROG and COMPRESS_EXT are *both* left empty (default) no - compression will be carried. For the moment compression is restricted only - to 'gzip'. Necessary updates are done in configure.in - SKY -* documentation fixes for nsl-fork, print screen - PW -* don't replace '\n' with ' ' if Chinese or Japanese - HN -* use title information rather than suggested filename as a subject line when - printing a page to email - LP -* add verbose_images to old-style options menu, and the .lynxrc - LE -* add verbose_images and useragent to forms-based options menu - LP -* disable download of "mailto:" links (reported by SKY (Sinan Kaan Yerli) - <sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ) - LP -* Change HTUserMsg to HTInfoMsg for "ALREADY_AT_BEGIN" and "ALREADY_AT_END" - messages to make it less annoying - LP -* reduce clutter in mainloop by inserting LYpop() in postoptions() - LP -* makefile.dos: split long lines - LP -* Fix bug with TAIPEI big5 charset in src/LYCharUtils.c - (this typo also found in lynx2.7.2: "big-5" instead of "big5"), - patch by Shou-Chuan Lai <chuan@cs.nthu.edu.tw> - LP -* Add -debug_partial command line switch so we got MessageSecs dely - between incremental rendering stages if partial display mode is ON. - (MessageSecs available from lynx.cfg and set to 2 sec by default). - The problem in incremental rendering of forms input was reported by SKY - (Sinan Kaan Yerli) <sky@star.cpes.susx.ac.uk> ), still not fixed - but now we may enter form-based options menu in -debug_partial mode - and rerender the page with Cntrl-R to see what is happening in fact. - LP -* Serious bug fixed for DISP_PARTIAL: two asynchronous processes synchronized. - HTDisplayPartial() synchronized by flag against HText_new() which create - the new HTMainText object. Otherwise HTDisplayPartial() sometimes was - matching old HTMainText (with its own line counter) and repaint previous doc, - not a new one. TRACE log now got a message from HText_pageDisplay - LP -* fixed last chartrans changes, lines such as - #0x99 #NOTDEFINED - should not be commented with leading comment symbol because they are ignored - by makeuctbl in fact - LP -* modify DH's patch for COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS to only modify the nonstandard case, - thereby making that more restrictive, and restoring standard behavior - (reported by HN) - TD -1998-08-21 (2.8.1dev.22) -* correct test for -std1 compiler option on Digital Unix (reported by Michael - Warner) - TD -* modify treatment of COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS, so that if it is set TRUE, two or more - concurrent BRs will be collapsed into a single blank line. Note that the - valid way to insert extra blank lines in HTML is via a PRE block with only - newlines in the block (David Henderson <davidh@psiphi.org>) -* clarification in userdefs.h - HN -* MS Windows codepages updated for EURO SIGN (0x20AC), from ftp.unicode.org - LP -* minor fix for DISP_PARTIAL, disable scrolling when HTTP request already sent - but the new document not displayed on the screen yet - LP -* ifdef DOS/WINDOWS to open lynx.trace in text mode - LP -* rearrange text in lynx.cfg concerning character_set - LP -* correct miscellaneous typos - LP -* Fixed: Verbose images now work with [IMAGE]-Submit. Also, fixed the core - dump when clickable_images is on. The problem was an oversight in - MakeNewTitle() - LE -* reviewed the INSTALLATION file as it relates to DOS and updated it for the - newly released version of PDCurses 2.3. Added the HAVE_GETBKGD define to - makefile.dos, fixes some of the unusual background color handling that was - present in the PDCurses DOS port - DK -* correct ifdef: LYOptions.c fails to build with -DEXP_FORMS_OPTIONS but - _without_ -DDIRED_SUPPORT (e.g. djgpp) - LP -* redesigned cookie_add_{accept,reject}list in LYCookie.c -- they work now - BJP -* added COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS in .lynxrc handling to LYrcFile.c - BJP -* slight spacing fix in lynx.cfg - BJP -* added blurb in lynx.cfg about COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS - BJP -* -accept_all_cookies on the commandline works as a toggle now (against - lynx.cfg value -- NOT against .lynxrc value) - BJP -* change HTAlert for bad partial reference to an HTUserMsg to make it less - annoying (request by Philip Webb, Jason McBrayer) -1998-08-15 (2.8.1dev.21) -* correct pathname for help file in forms-options screen - TD -* reduce clutter in LYOptions.c with SELECTED, DISABLED, NOTEMPTY macros, - PutOptValues, GetOptValues functions - TD -* modified LYOptions to include MBM support from form-based options, - by making a link href="LYNXOPTIONS://MBM_MENU" like it was in LYPrint.c and - calling edit_bookmarks() from postoptions() - LP -* add/use HTUserMsg to encapsulate most of the important messages - TD -* add/use HTInfoMsg to encapsulate most of the informational messages - TD -* make most of the alert messages use HTAlert, for consistency - TD -* exclude forms-options pages from Visited Links page - LP -* The current keymapping for the DOS Slang ports maps the keys directly to lynx - actions via keymap.c. There are several places in the code that test for - arrow keys, page up or down, home and end for special handling that depend on - the lynx definition of the keys. Hence, the keys in the DOS Slang ports were - failing the tests and not working as expected. The following patch now maps - these special keys. They can no longer be mapped individually via the KEYMAP - mechanism in lynx.cfg. Arrows should now work in GOTO fields. Tested the - patch against the binaries maade by makefile.dos, makefile.dsl, and - makefile.wsl - DK -* The wsl port seems to be working well with DISP_PARTIAL, make this the - default - DK -* correct spelling in lynx.cfg - DK -* modify HText_appendCharacter to wrap long lines when displaying HTML document - source - TD -* add configure option --enable-cgi-links - TD -* clarify discussion of no_proxy in lynx.cfg (Al Gilman). -* Multilingual bookmarks: now we store characters >127 in bookmark titles with - a more consistent and independent way, by keeping in unicode as &#UUUU - (NCR=numeric character reference). The idea belongs to Klaus Weide & Andrey - Chernov (long ago). It may be useful if we need switching display charset - frequently. This is the case when you use lynx on different platforms, e.g. - on UNIX and from remote PC, but want to keep common bookmarks file valid. - Compatibility: NCR as part of I18N and HTML4.0 specifications supported - starting with Lynx 2.7.2, Netscape 4.0 and MSIE 4.0. New option to lynx.cfg - added: NCR_IN_BOOKMARKS which is FALSE by default. - LP -* Tweak "print options menu" to exclude choises which are not available under - the certain conditions (print to the screen and lpansi on DOS/WINDOWS, print - to e-mail for local_host_only). - LP -* Forms options menu: add a link on option_help.html; synchronize - option_help.html against Lynx_User_guide.html and lynx.cfg. Rename label - "raw 8-bit or CJK Mode" with "CJK Mode" for CJK people and "raw 8-bit" for - others. Cleanup postoptions() by introducing flags. - LP -* Force HTuncache_current_document if gen_options() invoked. This is a - dirty fix until we uncache previous document only when necessary. - LP -* Add time/date in addition to X-URL and BASE (PrependBaseToSource), (request - by Hans-Joachim Gurt <gurt@nacamar.net>) - LP -* Turn partial_display off if we are not interactive (reported by Ari Moisio - <armoi@sci.fi>) - LP -* more fixes/refinements for auto-configuring socks5 on AIX (report by Brian - Hauber) - TD -1998-08-06 (2.8.1dev.20) -* rename eat_all_cookies to accept_all_cookies everywhere - BJP -* added ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES lines to the dist lynx.cfg with the appropriate - description - BJP -* added COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS and COOKIE_REJECT_DOMAINS to lynx.cfg. These are - comma delimited lists of the domains to handle - BJP -* added cookie_add_acceptlist and cookie_add_rejectlist to LYCookie.c, which - are passed the list of domains from lynx.cfg and add them to the global - cookie list. These may be subject to change, as I might not be handling the - LYstrsep() right -- it works with dev19's LYstrsep(), but hasn't been tested - with Bela's... - BJP -* added a big ugly ifdef'd out section to LYrcFile.c with what I have so far on - the .lynxrc handling of COOKIE_{ACCEPT,REJECT}_DOMAINS. Don't use it. Makes - nasty segfaults - BJP (Brian J Pardy) -* fix a bug where the DJGPP_KEYHANDLER version doesn't allow movement by arrow - keys within a text area. Undo previous patch to LYGetFile.c, with LYgetch - now changed where it is defined in LYStrings.c, rather than at each place - where it is used. The patch in LYStrings.c regarding Windows should fix the - problem with keymapping that occurred when we got rid of RAWDOSKEYHACK - DK -* turn on DISP_PARTIAL in makefile.dos - DK -* correct typo in LYOptions.c - BL -* corrected logic of LYstrsep - BL -* Few minor typos and forgotten notes in man/hlp/cfg files; also quote Bela's - note on lynx.cfg INCLUDE facility - LP -* correct typos in makefile.wsl, makefile.dsl - LP -* correct typos, fix character set problems in recent changes of LYOptions.c - - LP -* move include for socks.h past tcp.h, to allow for redefinition of some - symbols on AIX (report by Brian Hauber) - TD -* adjust headers so that each can be compiled separately, eliminating order - dependencies - TD -* include tcp.h always from within HTUtils.h, to enforce ordering of headers - needed for socks5 definitions - TD -* use S_ISREG, S_ISDIR macros to reduce clutter - TD -* make test for OpenHiddenFile to overwrite user's file more stringent by - ensuring that the given pathname is not a link from a world-writable - directory (reported by BL, with suggested patch) - TD -* add/use LYPathLeaf() function to reduce clutter of pathname-leaf parsing - TD -* eliminate redundant definition of 'FREE() - TD -* ifdef'd LYOptions.c to reduce unneeded code wrt --enable-forms-options - TD -* check in OpenHiddenFile to ensure that we overwrite only regular files, - since we also force the file's permissions to 0600 - TD -1998-07-31 (2.8.1dev.19) -* modify OpenHiddenFile so that it can overwrite files owned by the real - user if the O_EXCL open fails because the file already exists - TD -* add experimental forms-based options screen (patch by Mike Castle), ifdef'd - with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS and configured with --enable-forms-options. -* add option -eat_all_cookies and corresponding config variable - EAT_ALL_COOKIES (Brian J Pardy <posterkid@psnw.com>). -* correct spurious 'Content' string versus newline after X-URL in LYMail.c - (Bela Lubkin and LV). -* updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3 - TD -* updated experimental persistent-cookie support based on RP's patch: Replaced - the call to strsep with a home-rolled one for those people who don't have it. - (Reported by Bela Lubkin, Mon, 27 Jul 1998 16:51:14 -0700 on the mailing - list.) Bela's modification to make some character arrays static is also - included. -* nits/spelling in LYPrint.c, LYUtils.c (reported by Mike Castle). -* changed LYGetFile.c to build lynx2.8.1dev.18 with SLANG and the - DJGPP_KEYHANDLER for DOS - DK -* fix a couple of places where the return-value of calloc was not checked - (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>) - TD -* correct typo in command-line parsing of -lss option (reported by Chris - Kottaridis <chrisk@BSDI.COM>) -* define _AIX if needed for socks5 (request by Brian Hauber) - TD -* improved configure test for getgroups array type - TD -1998-07-24 (2.8.1dev.18) -* improved test for socks5, to account for special cases on AIX (reported by - Brian Hauber) - TD -* several changes to reduce the number of gcc cast-qual warnings, by adding - CONST, removing casts - TD -* add configure option --enable-syslog to enable system logging of requested - URL's - TD -* add RP's experimental persistent-cookie support, and configure option - --enable-persistent-cookies, ifdef'd with EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES - TD -* removed references to DOSRAWKEYHACK, which is no longer used.

This is ifdef'd with - __BORLANDC__ for the time being (WB). -* resync build-slang.com, against build.com - TD -* add $(MMSQUALIFIERS) to top-level descrip.mms, e.g., to use options such as - /FROM, /IGNORE, /NOACTION, etc., and $(INCLUDES) definitions to lower-level - descrip.mms files. Improve error-recovery in build.com (patches by Liam - Davis <ld@stian.demon.co.uk>) -* use memset to clear soc_in fields before doing a connect, needed for BSD/OS - (patch by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>). -* remove spurious sprintf params when using FIXED_RECORD_COMMAND_MASK which has - only one parameter, change VMSsignal from void* to void (report by Mike Xun - Ma <mike@mira.concordia.ca> ) - TD -* use open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL) to open new hidden files - TD -* eliminate_*putenv_cmd variables used by LYReadCFG.c as placeholders for - putenv calls - TD -* disable include of <sys/filio.h> for VMS, from report by Chris Doran) - TD -* fixes for VMS: mismatched curly brace, etc., from CTRACE and buffer-overflow - changes (reported by chris.doran@gblis.mail.abb.com) - TD -* correct a loop in HTML_start_element that strips 7 leading characters from - an href, fixes a core-dump in traversing ".." to "/" - TD -* use new macro SetOutputMode to reduce some clutter - TD -* modify interface of LYCachedTemp so fileCache member is reset to null, fixes - bug in my recent cleanup of temp-files, which caused a core-dump - TD -* add kb/sec rate to HTReadProgress message - TD -* modify computation in HTReadProgress to interpolate rate - LP -* One more fix for DISP_PARTIAL: to avoid blinking while reloading document - with Newline_partial > 1 (say, we press '*' and noproxy) we repaint the page - only when Newline_partial <= HText_getNumOfLines(). - LP -* add "-verbose" command-line switch. - LP -* DOS fix: open stdout in TEXT mode for -help and startup error message. - LP -* correct use of $mapname variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (Tomas Vanhala) -1998-06-25 (2.8.1dev.17) -* add configure option --with-socks5 (request by Brian Hauber - <bhauber@frenzy.com>) - TD -* define symbols HAVE_CURSESX_H, HAVE_JCURSES_H (report by Georg Schwarz - <schwarz@physik.tu-berlin.de>) - TD -* modify logic that reports progress of download to update screen no more than - once per second, fix an overrun problem (reported by Jacob Poon - <a324poon@cdf.toronto.edu>) - TD -1998-06-11 (2.8.1dev.16) -* modify configure script to check for special compiler options which are - assumed for particular platforms (suggested by BL) - TD -* modify display_page in GridText.c so that TRACE does not cause a repaint, - since that causes colors to be incorrectly rendered when tracing - TD -* fix a few of the signed/unsigned mismatch warnings in GridText.c - TD -* correct pathname in LYOpenScratch call for bookmarks (reported by DK) - TD -* DISP_PARTIAL: fix initialization of newdoc.line (case LYK_DOWNLOAD, - mainloop) to correct display while 'd'ownloading files (it was initialized - _after_ the download completed and was good enough without display_partial - mode). - LP -* correct some ifdef's for DISP_PARTIAL - LP -1998-06-04 (2.8.1dev.14) -* minor formatting fixes and documentation for upload screen - LP -* remove config.cache at beginning of configure script - TD -* eliminate cast for GetChar in LYStrings.c (from bug report by Michael Warner, - analysis by BL) - TD -* shorten logs from WWW/* by disabling echo of compiler options as in src/* - TD -* add configure test for types pid_t and uid_t - TD -* add configure test for array type used in getgroups call, to distinguish - between BSD and POSIX variations which use different sizes - TD -* modify configure script to compile DISP_PARTIAL code by default - TD -* fix compiler warnings dealing with unreached statements - TD -* change 'keymap[] array to unsigned char, move logic that relies on its size - into LYKeymap.c - TD -* make LYOpenScratch() work properly for 8.3 names (reported by DK) - TD -* DISP_PARTIAL: introduce separate variables Newline_partial and - NumOfLines_partial, initialize them in mainloop and synchronize with Newline - later when the reload completes (case NORMAL). To reduce the CPU usage while - downloading, call HText_pageDisplay only if NumOfLines_partial is in the - current display page or any Scroll key pressed by the user. We disable - partial_display if requested URL have #fragment, otherwise user will see the - top page first (yes, s/he will be moved to #fragment when the download - completed, but only if no scroll keys were pressed before!). Processing of - "END" key changed from MAXINT to real number of lines in the document - (important for display_partial mode) - LP. -* correct problem that caused DGJPP version built with slang 1.2.2 to lose its - socket whenever the rendering of a http URL is interrupted with "z". This is - in HTCheckForInterrupt in LYUtils.c (reported by John Lewis) - DK -* add files pdcurses.key, slang.key, djgpp.key to document the keybindings - used for DJGPP version - DK -* allow mapping of ALT and Function keys with the DOS port for both the - PDCurses version and the SLANG version with the DJGPP keyhandler. The - extended keys to be mapped have to be specified numerically according to the - definitions in curses.h (for PDCurses) or in keys.h (for SLANG with DJGPP - keyhandler). DJGPP maps keys up to 0x293, while PDCurses maps keys up to - 0x1c0 - DK -* don't try to use -std1 option for gcc on Digital Unix (reported by Michael - Warner <warner@wsu.edu>) - TD -1998-05-23 (2.8.1dev.13) -* use new function LYLocalFileToUrl to cleanup some pathname references - TD -* eliminate 'tempname()' function, using LYNewTxtFile, etc., with new functions - LYOpenTemp, LYCloseTemp, etc., so that temporary files are opened with - appropriate permissions - TD -* correct use of cache variable in CF_ALT_CHAR_SET (reported by BL) - TD -* spell out the logic in HTPlain.c against 2.7.2: there was a certain problem - with chartrans in text/plain mode (LYRawMode was wrongly interferring, - problem reported by Jacob Poon & FM). - LP -* modify logic for zero-width spaces in conv_uni_to_pc to exclude 0x200a - LP -* supply missing "break", which was forcing raw utf-8 output in URLs (NOT hex - escaped) - LP -1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.12) -* remove unneeded definition used in testing dev.11 from config.hin) - TD -1998-05-14 (2.8.1dev.11) -* fixes for function-keys with slang configuration on DOS (patch by DK). -* correct missing '&' in command-line options entry for syslog (reported by - HN) - TD -* correct initial value for NoColorvideo with PDCurses, from my error in - 1998-05-10 integration (reported by DK) - TD -1998-05-10 (2.8.1dev.10) -* eliminate assignment to stderr for trace-file by making tfp a function. - TD -* added John Davis' keymaps/keysym patch (it really should be integrated with - the normal lynx.cfg file). -* tweak chartrans, "Convert the octet to Unicode": incoming symbols >127 but < - LYlowest_eightbit[IN-charset] now ignored, previously displayed as UFFFD. - (SGML.c, HTPlain.c, LYCharUtils.c) - LP -* removed conflicting/unused declaration of 'bzero()' from tcp.h (from report - by Ashraf Zorkani <zorkani@aucegypt.edu>) - TD -* modify the set/unset/toggle options to allow "on" and "off" values also - TD -* apply the "partial display" patch, modified from: - http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0398/msg00993.html - The behavior is controlled by a compile-time option (DISP_PARTIAL), by a - command-line argument (-partial), and by a lynx.cfg option (PARTIAL). - BL -* extend command-line option processing of set/unset/toggle options - -toggle- (set that toggle to FALSE) - -toggle+ (set that toggle to TRUE) - e.g., - lynx -show_cursor+ -case- - or with explicit 1/0 values, e.g., - -toggle=0 (set that toggle to FALSE) - -toggle=1 (set that toggle to TRUE) - NOTE: this allows you to change a few flags that would previously have been - controlled by lynx.cfg, and are security-related, such as -locexec or - -telnet. I believe there is no issue, because if the user can control the - command line to Lynx, he could have run `lynx -cfg my_cfg_file` and - circumvented those settings anyway. - BL -* fix for buffer-overrun in LYMail.c when processing a mailto:very-log-address - URL - BL -* correct, for OS/2 EMX, a place in LYConvertToURL() which must not use - HTDOS_wwwName() (patch by Jason F. McBrayer <jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>) -* similar changes to LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.wsl, for building - DOS version with slang - Bill Schiavo -* modify LYCurses.c, LYMain.c, LYStrings.c, add src/makefile.dsl, for building - DOS version with slang - DK -* fix to improve reloading if user changed assume_charset in options menu - using ^A, which sometimes did not work - LP -* add several chartrans-related files to test/ directory: spaces.html, - c1.html, raw8bit.html - LP -* fixes to compile on SunOS with K&R compiler. - TD -1998-05-03 (2.8.1dev.9) -* correct missing counter increment in tempname(), from cleanup. - TD -1998-05-02 (2.8.1dev.8) -* Fix for CGI-related URLs processing (syntax: ?x=1&yz=2). To avoid interfere - with SGML we restrict '=' as terminator for a named entity, this only applied - for HREF= attribute translation (LYCharUtils.c). (reported by Alex Matulich - alex@unicorn.us.com & FM). - LP -* restore information in the INSTALLATION file for the DOS port on patching - tcplib. Also, clarifies the location of nullpkt. It also clarifies - that the PDCurses beta has incorporated some of the patches we made for - the lynx DOS port. - DK -* modify logic that updates bookmark file after removing a link to use copy - rather than rename, to solve file-ownership problems (patch by Paul - Gilmartin, though I kept the permissions check). - TD -* reduce a little of the clutter in tempname() with fmt_tempname, and - bad_tempname functions. Though this doesn't address the security problems it - does fix the problem with signed getpid values. - TD -* simplify LYUtils.c with compare_type() function - TD -* add/use string functions LYLowerCase, LYUpperCase, LYRemoveBlanks (replaces - collapse_spaces), LYTrimLeading, LYTrimTrailing (incidentally fixes core-dump - in LYCookie.c) - TD -* rewrite read_cfg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a - patch by John Davis) - TD -* rewrite parse_arg function to make it more table-driven (reworked from a - patch by John Davis) - TD -* omit -Olimit compiler option on Digital UNIX 4.0 (patch by Tomas Vanhala). -* modify configure test for acs_map[] array to work on Digital UNIX 4.0 - (reported by Jim Spath and Tomas Vanhala <vanhala@ling.helsinki.fi>). - TD -1998-04-23 (2.8.1dev.7) -* fix core-dump when pressing '.' on a page with no links (patch by - Jan Hlav\'{a}\v{c}ek <lahvak@math.ohio-state.edu>). -* initial changes to use macros CTRACE and tfp to replace explicit use of - stderr for the trace log. Remaining work is required for some complex - expressions, switching file pointers and for perror-substitute. - TD -* ifdef's for OS/2 EMX, mostly pathname tweaks (patch by Jason F. McBrayer - <jmcbray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>). -1998-04-18 (2.8.1dev.6) -* correct misplaced ifdef in LYMail.c, which caused Cc to not work (patch - by LE). -* convert \x escapes to octal form (reported by Claude Soma). - TD -* modify configure script to check for cursesX before curses library, for - ultrix 4.3 (reported by Claude Soma <soma_c@decus.fr>). - TD -* incorporate lpansi into LYPrint.c (patch by HN). -* modify top-level makefile to use INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA - consistently, rather than installbin and installdoc (reported by - <karl@deas.harvard.edu>). - TD -* modify treatment of -auth and -pauth options to allow setting a blank - password, e.g., -pauth=user: specifies a blank password, and -pauth=user - leaves the password unspecified (patch by Frederick P Herrmann - <fph@tiac.net>). -* Change documentation to indicate "Lynx.trace" file rather than "lynx.trace". -* Change default for USE_TRACE_LOG in userdefs.h to TRUE, to make behavior - consistent with 2.7.2 - TD -* Rename no_color_video symbol in LYCurses.c to NoColorVideo, to avoid conflict - with term.h, which is included by curses.h on some systems (reported by Paul - Gilmartin). - TD -* modify include-path in djgpp makefile to avoid conflicting tcp.h - DK -* Add -tagsoup option, for initializing parser directly to TagSoup. - TD -* Modify HTML.c, ifdef'ing some of the logic involved in unstacking tags. It - appears to be not completely necessary: makes Lynx a little faster, at the - cost of making the tagsoup parser do the wrong thing. Some entries in the - tagsoup DTD table versus the sortasgml table have SGML_EMPTY versus - SGML_MIXED. This information is used to control unstacking (in the - color-style configuration as well). There is still a problem evidenced - when toggling between the two parsers in the Lynx main help page, but that - appears to be missing logic in 2.8's version of the tagsoup parser. - TD -* Modify HTTCP.c to check the length returned from gethostbyname(), which - returns 0 on error on a SunOS 4 system (reported by Paul Gilmartin). - TD -1998-03-29 (2.8.1dev.5) -* Fixed my typo for FNAMES_8_3 define. WB -* Added SYSTEM_MAIL and SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS defines for DOSPATH target. WB -* Better kluge to set terminal type for DOSPATH. WB -* Restored DOSPATH kludge to get to root of directory.

WB -1998-03-25 (2.8.1dev.4) -* restore original string in LYUtils.c when user enters a badly formed or - nonexistent URL when prompted for Goto/history list (patch by Randall - <hezekiah@may98.rahul.net>). Otherwise Lynx would always attempt to load a - local file if the original string omits scheme:// prefix but guessing fails. -* tweak formatting of .message in HTFTP.c so it has leading/trailing blank - lines (patch by Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@CAM.ORG>) -* retested 'make depend' rule (for LV (Larry Virden)) - TD -* eliminate (except for absolute pathnames, as in VMS) quoted includes - TD -* remove WWW/Library/Implementation/HTAlert.[ch], since they conflict with - src/HTAlert.[ch], and are not used - TD -* replace the [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] comments (for images without ALT) - with filenames of these images. This feature can be enabled or disabled by - setting VERBOSE_IMAGES in lynx.cfg and/or userdefs.h (patches by - helen@voland.cc.huji.ac.il and wschiavo@concentric.net>) -* consistently use ${cf_cv_ncurses_header-curses.h} rather than - $cf_cv_ncurses_header in configure script, as noted by JS - TD -* tweak include of HTML.h in HTFile.h to fix compile problem on VMS (we really - should not use quote-style includes) - TD -* fixes to LYStyle.c to make color-style code work on Digital Unix 4.0 - TD -1998-03-20 (2.8.1dev.3) +1998-03-20 * Added death for Win/DOS clients that don't have a TMP space defined. - WB * Added _WINDOWS_NSL to provide interruptable lookups in Win32 per a patch from afn06760@afn.org.
