The projected official - release date is 09-02-96. -* Tweaks of numeric character reference handling. - FM -* Typo fix in LYShowInfo.c. - IC -08-28-96 -* Added handling of ENCTYPE="application/sgml-form-urlencoded" in FORMs - as a directive to use semi-colons instead of ampersands as name=value - separators, and to indicate that as the Content-Type for POSTs. - FM -* Convert ampersands in addresses and link names, and angle-brackets in - link names, to SGML entities when creating bookmarks and showinfo ('=') - link 'l'ist, client-side-image-map, and history list text/html streams - or temporary files. - FM -* More SGML compliance mods for the handling of attribute values which - represent URLs or URL components. - FM -* Tweaks of form INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION handling. - FM -* Check EAGAIN on socket connect or select attempts for all platforms and - flavors. - FM -* Include both <time.h> and <sys/time.h> in tcp.h for AIX. -* Adding warning and info in the INSTALLATION file and userdefs.h on how - to cope with telnetd environment variable spamming for anonymous accounts - running Lynx captively. - FM -08-24-96 -* Enhancements of the History List handling. 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) -============================================================================== |
