The ability to interrupt nameserver lookup has not + worked in Win98 using the Cygwin port, despite defining _WINDOWS_NSL. It + looks like the threaded code was only for WinNT. At least under Cygwin, that + code also seems to work fine under Win98 -DK +* add FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED as a possible value for DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE in + lynx.cfg as well as keypad_mode in .lynxrc -TD +* add NUMBER_FIELDS_ON_LEFT and NUMBER_LINKS_ON_LEFT to lynx.cfg, use these to + control where field- and link-numbering is placed. Caveat: there are some + cases where fields that do popup's are truncated, e.g., in the Options menu, + when right-alignment is used -TD +* support for DJGPP's two forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and + /dev/[a-zA-z]/ -DK +* add samples/lynxdump script, to illustrate how to use lynx -dump with no + link references (prompted by discussion with LV) -TD +* add samples/keepviewer script, to illustrate how to retain a temporary file + for use in an external viewer -TD +* add ifdef's in is_url() to avoid recognizing URLs if they are disabled in the + given configuration, i.e., bibp, finger, ftp, gopher, news (report by + Frederic L W Meunier) -TD +* modify LYrefresh() to take into account whether a popup window exists, so + that a search prompt will not overwrite a popup. This bug was introduced by + the curses pads (reported by Felicia Neff <neff@panix.com> and Fr3dY + <fr3dy@retemail.es>) -TD +* add note in keystroke_help.html about CTRL-V as literal-next (lnext) for + users who are unfamiliar with stty -TD +* add NcFTP-style ftp-URLs which are supported by Netscape and wget (request + by Martin Mokrejs) -TD +* add traces in LYReadCFG.c and LYrcFile.c to report lines which are not found + in the symbol table, to help diagnose when a user adds lynx.cfg information + to .lynxrc -TD +* define additional -trace-mask option, 8=config -TD +* modify LYtouchline() to avoid using wredrawln() for ncurses, since the + LYwin variable may be a pad much wider than the screen, which is not handled + properly (report by Karl Eichwalder <keichwa@gmx.net>) -TD +* correct beginning configure script, which was supposed to remove + config.cache, but did not, due to a misplaced line when it was added + 1998-06-04 (prompted by a report by Fr3dY <fr3dy@retemail.es> that the + checks for srand/rand did not work) -TD + 2001-08-15 (2.8.5dev.2) * several small fixes to HTFile.c to make directory listings work properly on win32, e.g., stat'ing a directory with a trailing slash fails (reported by |
