When Lynx + is sitting idle in getxkey() waiting for a keypress, no network functions are + called. Hence no sockets are procesessed, "ICMP Echo replies" is sent etc. + This patch has been tested with SLang and '-DDJGPP_KEYHANDLER' I'm not sure + how to hook into 'SLkp_getkey()' or keyboard polling in performed under raw + PCcurses (Gisle Vanem <gvanem@eunet.no>) +* update docs for -tna instead of --sticky_inputs -KW +* document extended KEYMAP syntax in lynx.cfg -KW +* update Users Guide for KEYMAP changes, especially the TEXTAREA-related + sections -KW +* move text on ^V a bit to better place, provide a couple links to it -KW +* add blurb about TRST to Users Guide. Also mention external scripts for table + handling -KW +* revise section in Supported URLs on internal schemes. Toned down, provide + rationale, give examples -KW +* fix a few typos in README.TRST -LP +* use 'rand()' in NewSecureValue() -TD +* use a random number rather than a counter to name temporary files -TD +* change LYReadCFG.c to accept any leading punctuation in lynx.cfg as a comment + delimiter -TD +* eliminate some clutter with typecalloc/typecallocn macros -TD +* eliminate some clutter with new function LYBadHTML() -TD +* add checks for null pointers in CTRACE statements in HTML.c (based on report + by LV) -TD +* change realloc calls in SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE ifdef in StrAllocVsprintf() to + HTalloc, since older machines (e.g., SunOS 4.x) do not necessarily handle a + null pointer parameter to realloc -TD +* correct ordering of command-line options in LYMain.c -TD +* updates for files in lynx_help & keystrokes -PW +* clarify `General Configuration Instructions (all ports)' in INSTALLATION -PW +* remove "your lynx.cfg"/"compiletime settings" from '='Info Page -LP +* add a note to Lynx_Users_Guide.html#lynx.cfg on "g lynxcfg:" -LP,HN +* change LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: to a link from LYNXCFG: -LP +* slightly reorganize partial mode logic: 'display_partial' variable is now + initialized directly in HText_new(), no need for specialized semaphore any + more -LP +* Allow KEYMAP directives in lynx.cfg of extended form + KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:editaction[:sel], where lynxkey and lynxaction are + as before, editaction is a line-editor action like FORW, BACK, ERASE etc. + and sel selects the line-editor style to be affected (as a number, starting + with 1 for the Default Binding; or 0 for all styles (the default); or a + negative number -n meaning "all line-editor styles except n"). See Line + Editor Help pages for keywords to use as editaction. This includes PASS + (which was already implemented), for "passing" on the key when line-editing + form fields so that the normal lynxaction will be invoked. + (KEYMAP:lynxkey:lynxaction:DIRED is also still possible for defining a Dired + mode binding). + This is based on a patch from IZ which introduced combined definitions + in a .lynx-keymaps file in the form: + setkey "\200s" LAC:LEFT_LINK/BACKW # C-left + setkey "\200t" LAC:RIGHT_LINK/FORWW # C-right + Combined definitions in .lynx-keymaps are also supported in this patch, but + the syntax was changed to use another ':' instead of '/' as separator. Note + that there is no need to support .lynx-keymaps (i.e., compile with + USE_KEYMAPS defined) for using the extended KEYMAP lynx.cfg directive with + this patch -KW +* avoid access to uninitialized members in TRSTable.c -KW +* limit span values accepted for TRST with TRST_MAXCOLSPAN and TRST_MAXROWSPAN, + which can be changed in userdefs.h. Without imposing a limit, attempts to + trick lynx into allocating huge blocks of memory (which might cause thrashing + without apparent reason) with something like ROWSPAN=10000000 are just too + easy -KW +* moved definition of SAVE_TIME_NOT_SPACE to userdefs.h. You may want to + undefine it for a platform where running out of memory is a frequent problem + (DOS?), although the effect won't be very pronounced. Used in TRST code to + affect size of some allocations (also used as before for HTSprintf0/HTSprinf) + -KW +* implement COLSPAN=0 and ROWSPAN=0 according to HTML 4.01 (not HTML 4.0). The + span extends until the end of the current column group and row group (i.e. + next THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY), respectively; or until the end of the row or table, + respecitively, if there is no containing group (thus acting as per HTML 4.0). + Also cancel effect of all ROWSPANs at a THEAD/TFOOT/TBODY boundary (problem + with other browser described and behavior proposed by G. James Berigan in + <http://www.war-of-the-worlds.org/html/span-vs-group.html>) -KW +* 'prev_target' is now PRIVATE to LYMainLoop.c [defined outside of mainloop()]; + this undoes some dev.15 changes. -LP, KW +* replace HText_pageDisplay() calls from partial mode (LYUtils.c and + HTFormat.c) with LYMainLoop_pageDisplay() function implemented in + LYMainLoop.c, it simply calls HText_pageDisplay() but has access to + LYMainLoop.c PRIVATE variables. -LP, KW +* make ^X a prefix key in all Line Edit styles. That means ^V should never be + needed any more to invoke the special textarea commands (but it's still + supported). Updates to help files to reflect this change -KW +* don't produce a link from the KEYMAP page to a help file. The one we used to + use doesn't really help -KW +* correction in code executed after textarea external editing (that determines + when to prompt for re-wrapping): use start_anchor not anchor_ptr. Without + this correction, invalid memory access could occur. (This was probably also + responsible for producing the prompt when it shouldn't be produced in some + cases, as has been reported.) -KW +* some tweaks of Novice mode help lines: don't show wrong key "to delete all + text in field" (FORM_NOVICELINE_TWO); replaced an occurrence of <delete> with + <backspace>. In some cases (e.g., disabled fields), prefer no info to wrong + info -KW +* extended KEYMAP option: additional field can specify DIRED to request + mapping in the Dired mode key_override table rather than the normal keymap + table. Documented the DIRED field and default override mapping in lynx.cfg + -KW +* corrected KEYMAP display for dired mode. It could display the normal binding + when that wouldn't actually be used, for example if a key is bound to + DO_NOTHING for DIRED. The logic deciding whether to show a separate line for + uppercase letters was only looking at the normal keymap -KW +* reset the edit_mode flag (indication of Dired mode) in various places, so the + flag doesn't stat TRUE after a new page has been loaded. For example, + invoking the forms based 'O'ptions page from a Dired directory view would + leave the Dired key bindings enabled within the Options page -KW +* for LYNXMESSAGES: page of recent statusline messages, removed setting of the + LYforce_no_cache flag in getfile(). Set the flag in LYMainLoop.c instead, + but only for following a link. This makes the page act more like a normal + no-cache document, for example returning to it via PREV_DOC does not cause an + automatic update. The special handling in LYMainLoop.c is necessary because + the link to LYNXMESSAGES: appears on the History Page, and following a link + from the History Page (as well as some other generated user interface pages) + normally implies overriding of no-cache behavior which we don't want in this + case -KW +* in LYNXMESSAGES: page, number recent statusline messages in historic order, + starting with 1 for the oldest. This should make it more obvious that they + are listed latest-first. Add "(No messages yet)" text if there are no + messages. Removed generation of invalid <pre> -KW +* use a temporary file instead of the normal .lynxrc file for saving and + restoring current settings in reload_read_cfg(). This avoids unexpected side + effects of lynx.cfg reloading (LYNXCFG://reload action), i.e. silent + modification or first-time generation of .lynxrc contents. In principle this + should make reloading of lynx.cfg usable for accounts that don't allow saving + of personal settings (i.e. option_save restriction, implied by -anonymous) + if other restrictions don't forbid it; but currently the option_save + restriction is still obeyed for saving to the temporary file (so that + reloading of lynx.cfg is prevented) -KW +* tweaks for LYNXCFG: and LYNXCOMPILEOPTS: pages: honor REUSE_TEMPFILES + setting if pages need to be regenerated, and clean up the memory for holding + the file URLs in free_lynx_cfg(). Recover if the tempfile has unexpectedly + disappeared, by regenerating it. Also regenerate tempfile if NOCACHE key + ('x') is used. Added extra checks before doing automatic uncaching of + previous page in LYNXCFG://reload code, to test whether the previous page is + really a LYNXCFG: view -KW +* corrected problems with "show color" in forms Options page. Omit "ON" choice + if color is not possible (but saving allowed). When option_save restriction + was in effect, the ON/OFF initialisation was wrong (resulting in unwanted + toggling of color each time options were changed in an anonymous account) -KW +* tweaks of reload_read_cfg() for retaining "show color" setting and for + updating display_lines (user_mode may have changed) -KW +* change for HTParse: if there is a hostname part, recognize a '?' as ending + it if there are no further slash characters -KW +* tweaks in configure.in and INSTALLATION: describe correctly what + --disable-dired-override does. Rename --disable-dired-archive to + --disable-dired-dearchive. Clarified INSTALLATION text for + --disable-full-paths. Changed some "define" to "prevent defining" -KW +* don't try to put cursor in last screen position for hiding in + show_main_statusline if -show_cursor/SHOW_CURSOR is on. The show_cursor + behavior may have been turned on to avoid problems with curses libs or + terminal types that cannot deal with it correctly. On pages with no links, + for example SOURCE display, this may leave the cursor at the end of the + statusline message if show_cursor is on. This just restores previous + versions' behavior in that case. On pages with links, the movement is + unnecessary anyway since the cursor will move again to the current link -KW +* removed a bug in automatic textarea growing. Textarea would grow by + one line unnecessarily if enter was used on the last input line on a + screen (if that was not actually the last line in the textarea). New + function HText_TAHasMoreLines() to help with this -KW +* revision of "nonsticky" behavior / options. Got rid of "sticky" terminology. + Renamed the controlling option to TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION and command line + flag -tna. + Compiling in of this mode can be disabled, see in userdefs.h under + TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION. Two versions of "Textfields Need + Activation" mode are provided. The default mode (simpler yet better IMO) + highlights an inactive selected text input fields like a current normal + anchor. The alternative variant (may go away later?) behaves like VH's + previous implementation and gets used when compiling with + -DINACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH. + Many bugs that would occur in somewhat unusual circumstances are fixed, for + both variants. (Action of various commands on TEXT_SUBMIT_TYPE fields, + interaction with mouse selection, ...) Selecting an inactive input field with + the mouse will activate it. Various tweaks to make sure selecting a field in + this way will put the editing cursor at the right position (even if the line + had been scrolled / might be scrolled on entering the line editor), at least + with NCURSES mouse support. Also, -show_cursor now in general works as + expected. (In the INACTIVE_INPUT_STYLE_VH variant, cursor may sometimes end + up on the statusline after error messages.) -KW +* treat input lines of the same textarea more like one entity, as far as + "Textfields Need Activation" is concerned, as long as movement among those + lines is with PREV_LINK/UP_LINK/LPOS_PREV_LINK/NEXT_LINK/DOWN_LINK/ + LPOS_NEXT_LINK or ACTIVATE keys (the last one only if TEXTAREA_AUTOGROW is + defined, for consistency with line-appending behavior). I.e. moving among + textarea lines with those keys automatically activates ('enters') the new + field for line editing if the previous one was activated -KW +* modified statusline messages to be more appropriate and specific on non- + activated form fields. (The additional messages are not used or compiled + in if TEXTFIELDS_MAY_NEED_ACTIVATION isn't defined.) Avoid unnecessary + repainting/refreshing of the physical statusline in many cases of moving + among fields and links. Make sure the additional lines shown in Novice + mode are also appropriate -KW +* modified line editor behavior on "disabled" form text fields: instead of + disabling all non-terminating edit keys, allow those that never modify the + field contents. The user can now scroll through a long value in a disabled + field with the arrow keys, rather than being stuck at the end -KW +* the ncurses mouse popup window would overlap the statusline in Novice mode. + Limit the overlap to border area (so at least no significant text gets + corrupted) -KW +* modified code for stickiness of the second kind (ex-STICKY_FIELDS) according + to preliminary proposal from Vlad. Named LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT. + Does not depend on any conditional compilation symbols, and is now unrelated + to the other kind of "stickiness" discussed above. See lynx.cfg. This isn't + optimal yet (LAKABOFTIF discussion etc..), but better than leaving it as it + was -KW +* made default width of textarea fields (if no COLS attribute given) depend on + window or screen width, instead of using a fixed default of "60". I.e. for + wider windows make better use of available space, and for narrows windows + avoid wrapped textarea lines. Take the usual left/right margins (depending + on current block style) into account. But for -dump don't make fields longer + than 60 anyway (they will just show up as blocks of underscores anyway, not + showing text content) -KW +* changes in code used to create new bookmark file after a bookmark has been + 'R'emoved. Change should only affect Unix. Basically, revert back to + behavior used before 2.8.1dev.8 for "normal" files (no symlinks or extra + hard links). I.e. use rename / maybe try "mv" instead of "cp", then change + permission bits explicitly. Using "cp" means running the risk of losing or + truncating the user's bookmark file if for example the disk became full + (although these occasions should be rare - the scratch file we are trying + to copy or rename was written just before without error, usually on the + same filesystem). Some more comments in LYBookmark.c. Note: if you like + your bookmark files, make backup copies of them anyway... -KW +* changed F1 key bindings so it always invokes DWIMHELP, also in the Line + Editor (for all three Binding tables). This means that pressing F1 (if you + have it, and it is correctly mapped and recognized) while in a text form + field will now bring up the Line Editor Help Page for the currently selected + line edit style. Other keys bound to HELP by default ('?', 'h') remain + unchanged, they still always go to the main Help Page -KW +* don't let DWIMHELP show Line Editor help for a text input field that is + disabled -KW +* don't mangle a -cookie_file like /home/user/.lynx_cookies.~1~, only interpret + the '~' as reference to HOME if it's right at the beginning and followed by + '/' and then some more. There are probably other instances where '~' gets + mistreated (in addition to the intentional dropping of "user" from something + like "~user/" in file URLs etc.) -KW +* changed type of EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT tables to LYKbLayout_t. They hold + Unicode values, any similarity to LYKeymap_t is just accidental -KW +* changed EXP_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT logic so that input characters that are + unrepresentable in the current display character set (unless it is UTF-8) get + transformed into '?' instead of some accidentally chosen 8-bit character. + For UTF-8, convert to UTF-8 encoding instead. Note the Line Editor isn't yet + UTF-8 aware; with some care it is possible to enter UTF-8 text, but the + display will be messed up, esp. the cursor position will be shown wrong -KW +* some corrections for TPOS, YANK enhanced lineedit functions -KW +* added back in a block in LYmbcsstrlen that got lost somehow -KW +* fix an array boundary accident in GridText.c -JB +* reiterate that LYNXCGI_LINKS is set by the configure script -PW +* note that patches should be generated by "diff -u" -PG +* modify HTReadProgress so that setting SHOW_KB_RATE false will let the + amount read be shown in bytes/sec -DK +* modify mkdirs.sh to ignore DOS-style device -IZ +* modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro to accept DOS-style path syntax, for + use in OS/2 EMX port -IZ +* fix some memory leaks in visited-pages tree -IZ +* correct recent change to LYEditmap.c for EBCDIC -PG +* change 'elf32ppc' to 'elf32ppc*' in config.guess to work on MkLinux DR3 + (reported by Christopher Conrade Zseleghovski (kkz@MIMUW.EDU.PL>) +* add check to HTConfirmDefault() to ensure that NLS form of "yes" and "no" + are distinct in the first character, revert to English if not -TD +* add configure test for wredrawln, and use CF_CURSES_FUNCS -TD +* improve CF_TERMCAP_LIBS configure test -TD 1999-11-17 (2.8.3dev.15) * add popup in options menu to control alternate organizations of the - visited links page (Ilya Zakharevich) + visited links page -IZ * reformatted src/makefile.dos and src/makefile.dsl to make them simpler to modify -TD * add -DOK_OVERRIDE to DIRED_DEFS for djgpp -LP @@ -18,11 +284,6 @@ Changes since Lynx 2.8 release * undo recent no_color_video check for A_BOLD, A_UNDERLINE since this did not have the intended effect (reported by KW) -TD * add note to lynx_url_support.html about lynxcgi -PW -* reorganize the code: 'search_target' now became global, so display_page() - and highlight() could be called from any place easily.
