(Is that in the spec?) +3-27-94 +* fixed Telnet security problem +3-19-94 +* added .mailcap and mailcap support as well as mime.types support + for the configuration of viewers and extension mappings. + The test command is now implemented so that viewers can be conditionally + setup. +3-17-94 +* Revamped the FTP code to recognize different server types and to parse + full directory listings (LIST output). File types, sizes and dates + are displayed when possible. +3-16-94 +* added transparent support for mosaic bookmark files. Just point + Lynx at your existing default mosaic bookmark file and Lynx will + handle the rest. Viewing, addition, and removal are supported. +3-15-94 +* added second line of reverse video to show multiline links better. +3-10-94 +* added configurable MIME types and viewers to lynx.cfg. MIME types + and VIEWERS can be configured by following the instructions within + the newest lynx.cfg file. +3-?-94 +* added second %s argument to PRINTER and DOWNLOADER definitions. + If a second %s is present in the command definition it will be + filled in by a suggested filename which is derived from the URL + of the document. See lynx.cfg for more details. +3-?-94 +* got code from CERN to fix HTBTree FTP bug. Large ftp lists should + not crash anymore. +3-9-94 +* added no_proxy environment variable. set it to a comma delimited list + of domains or hosts that should not be proxyed. (Thanks CERN :) + USAGE: (UNIX) + setenv no_proxy "domain1.dom, domain2.dom, domain3, etc" +3-?-94 +* Fixed Referer: field handleing so that it doesn't crash on really + long URL's +3-?-94 +* True popup menus are now supported for non-multiple SELECT lists. +2-28-94 +* fixed the delete-a-bookmark command and bound it to 'r' for remove. + (thanks to David Trueman for the fix) + +---------- RELEASE of 2.2 ------------------ +2-9-94 +* added 'd' for download current link. Can be used to force a download + of any file. +* 'r' removed as a comment key. Use 'c' or reconfigure your keys to + add 'r' back in. (I would like to use 'r' in the future to mean + remove current bookmark link) +* Found the bug in the HTTP redirection code that was causing it + not to work. So HTTP redirection appears to work now! +* Added Referer: header to HTTP requests to list the URL of + the document listing the requsted URL. Here's an extract from CERN: + This optional header field allows the client to specify, + for the server's benefit, the address ( URI ) of the document + (or element within the document) from which the URI in the + request was obtained. + + This allows a server to generate lists of back-links to documents, + for interest, logging, etc. It allows bad links to be traced + for maintenance. + +2-8-94 +* changed novice line to be displayed on bottom two lines with the + status line moved up two lines. +1-27-94 +* Made configurable keymappings a reality. Keys can be remapped in + the lynx.cfg file. (diffs from David Trueman) +* Got code from Foteos to make 'a' work for VMS connection interrupts. +1-24-94 +* Moving closer towards configurable keymappings. New keyhandleing + code will make it very easy to implement. (diffs from David Trueman) +1-14-94 +* Lynx FTP now supports PASV code. (fixes to CERN (Dave Raggert?) PASV code + from John Ellson) It is not enabled by default. Line 43 in + WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFTP must be commented out for + PASV code to be used. This was done because not all FTP sites + can support PASV FTP. +1-13-94 +* slight change in forms user interface. For the better, I hope you will + agree. Text input fields are now active as soon as the cursor pointer + is over them. Therefore you may begin typing into the text field + as soon as you come to it. Tab, and up and down arrow keys will + move off of the text input field. The only problem with this is as + follows. If you are in the habit of using the number keys (keypad) + the or h,j,k,l vi keys, as soon as you move over the text link + you will begin seeing numbers or hjk or l show up in the text field. + In other words, your movement commands are now broken :( You must + use true arrow keys or the tab key to move off of the text field. + I've tried this out and it seems to work alright. I don't think + that users unfamiliar with this will have too hard a time figureing + it out. Once you see numbers or letter appearing it becomes fairly + obvious whats going on. I'll put a message at the bottom of the + screen saying "use tab or arrow keys to move off of link." +* added mods by David Trueman to implement -restrictions commandline + option. -restrictions allows a list of services to be disabled + selectively. -restrictions takes the form of + "lynx -restrictions=[default],[all],[inside_telnet],[outside_telnet],[shell],\ + [editor],[bookmark],[option_save],[print],[file_url],[download],[exec]" + + all restricts all options. + default same as commandline option -anonymous. Disables + default services for anonymous users. Currently set to, + all restricted except for: inside_telnet, outside_telnet, and + goto. Defaults settable within userdefs.h + inside_telnet disallow telnets for people coming from inside your + domain. + outside_telnet disallow telnets for people coming from outside your + domain. + shell disallow shell escapes + editor disallow editing + bookmark disallow changing the location of the bookmark file. + options_save disallow saving options in .lynxrc + print disallow most print options + goto disable the 'g' (goto) command. + file_url disallow using G)oto to go to file: URL's + download disallow saving binary files to disk in the download menu. + exec disable execution scripts + exec_frozen disallow the user from changing the execution link + setting in the O)ptions menu. +1-12-93 +* added new more informative messages for form links. +1-11-93 +* fixed -dump and -source options so that they work for + binary files now. +* Interruptable I/0 now completely works for UNIX systems. + VMS is next. Just hit an 'a' for abort anytime during a + transfer to abort. If there is a partial file to show, it + will be shown. +* Added command line option -show_curser. If enabled the curser + will not be hidden in the right hand corner but will instead + be positioned at the start of the currently selected link. + show curser is the default for systems without FANCY_CURSES + capibilities, and the default configuration can be changed in + userdefs.h +1-9-93 +* Added NNTP posting capibilities. Currently uses external inews + program which will be included in the utils directory. + Would someone like to patch in some freeware inews code, or + send me some? +1-7-93 +* fixed bug in password handling which cuased it to be displayed + accidentally :( (Danny Mayer) +1-6-94 +* bold and emphasis now use curses underlining to represent + ephasized text. The use of _underline_ chars before and after + the text is now removed. +1-5-94 +* Added configurable download menu so that binary files may + be downloaded using any protocal. Download menu is displayed + after selecting a non-displayable file. +* Added exec links. 4 types currently defined: + files ending in: .csh, .ksh, .sh, (for UNIX) and .com (for VMS); + Use exec link controls to turn on and off exec links. +* Gopher menues are now within PRE so that spaces are not + collapsed in menu entries. +* added configurable character sets. Can be set in lynx.cfg + by the user in the options screen or in the users .lynxrc file + current sets are: ISO Latin I, IBM PC Character set, & 7 bit + approximations. New sets can be added to src/LYCharSets.c + +----------RELEASE of Lynx 2.1 and 2.1.1---------------------- +-grey area- +* Ability to FTP to VMS systems. (Foteos Macrides) +* Fixed lots of display and interupt problems (Foteos Macrides) +* The Lynx Bookmark file is now interpreted as an HTML document. + Old Lynx bookmark files must be converted using the lynx2html + program or deleted. +* HTML+ forms as implemented by XMosaic now work. + fill in the empty spaces and press the submit button to + submit the form. +* The TEXTAREA tag isn't done yet. It will currently only + give a one line text area. The next version of Lynx will + include a true textarea implementation once I figure out a + reasonable interface. +* Incorporated WWWlib 2.14 and fixed up the descrip.mms files. + Foteos Macrides made VMS port changes and wrote a really nice + build.com script to make compilation on VMS systems really easy. + Foteos also ported Lynx to OpenVMS for alpha axp systems. +* 's' now means search a searchable indexed document through the + server, and can no longer be used to search for strings within + the displayed document. +* '/' now only searches through the current displayed document for + strings and can not be used for searchable index documents. +* Capital 'Q' now quits without asking for confirmation. +* 'm' for Main Menu now askes for confirmation and does NOT clear + the history stack. +* Blockquote style changed slightly. +* fixed bug with A and other tags messing up formatting + withing PRE segments. +* Verbose Gopher option removed, verbose gopher functionality + is now set permenantly on. +* Default editor is now configurable in the lynx.cfg file. +* Default bookmark file is now configurable in the lynx.cfg file. + +12-15-93 +* ownership is no longer inherited. +* link rev="owner" href="mailto:ADDRESS" now accepted as well as + link rev="made" href="mailto:ADDRESS" to define the URL of the + owner or person responsible for the info. +* 's' now only searches ISINDEX server documents. +* '/' always means search within the document. + +-grey area- +* still doing massive rewrite. Debugging!! + +11-30-93 +* anonymous users cannot change the bookmark page! (thanks to Jyrki Kuoppal for + pointing out a security hole) + +-grey area- +* massive rewrite. Removed all Lynx internal format code and + restructured all the source files. + +11-8-93 +* added (non-breaking space),   and   + +---------- RELEASE of 2.0.12 ----------------- +11-1-93 +* Change HTInit.c so that unsupported types are not sent out + in accept parameters. For non X screen only text/html and + application/octet-stream are sent. + +10-26-93 +* descriptive title added to files mailed from lynx + +10-25-93 +* disabled FTP connection caching to help fix multiple FTP problems + +10-23-93 +* added preliminary level 1 forms support. + +10-20-93 +* fixed a bunch of gopher holes +* gopher lists are turned into URL's now instead of lynx + internal format document links +* local documents ending in .html can now be referenced with + just a filename and/or path from the command line. + +10-19-93 +* Added preloaded searches to gopher URL's. They previously + didn't work. This is readily apparent as preloaded CSO + searches, which alot of people wanted. +* removed old hytelnet compatibility code which looked in + multiple directories to find the correct file. If you still + need this capibility talk to me. + +10-12-93 +* The users specified editor is now spawned for mail messages. + If no editor is defined or if the user is anonymous, the built-in + lynx mail sender is used. + +10-11-93 +* changed all static data structures to be dynamic + This was a pretty major change of code which may add several + bugs. +* rewrote parse_links routine to make it more efficient and to + work with dynamic structures. + +10-6-93 +* added progress messages to HTTP transfers. + +10-5-93 +* added -cache=# command line option to specify the number + of WWW documents cached in memory. + +9-28-93 +* added VMS port fixes from Foteos Macrides. Lynx now + compiles and works on VMS! +* fixed ftp bug in WWWlib that didn't de-escape URL's before + sending request to FTP server. + +9-21-93 +* fixed coredump bug for some files with no links. + +9-3-93 +* Moved many configuration options including printer setup to + lynx.cfg file. The default placement of the lynx.cfg file + will be /usr/local/lib & sys$public + +9-1-93 +* Removed STARTDIR variable from userdefs.h STARTDIR is now inferred + from the STARTFILE. + +8-30-93 +* Fixed bug with only one link selectable out of many on the last line + of the display. +* Ported to SVR4 courtesy of Nickolay Saukh (from Russia, Wow this is + really getting around!) +* Uneditable documents don't get refetched. (Nickolay Saukh) +* National language support through LOCALE + (instead of ISOLATIN1), protected by #ifdef LOCALE (Nickolay Saukh) + +------Release of Lynx 2.0.11-------------------------------- +8-27-93 +* Caused major international incident when a large bug was discovered after + release. :) +* Fixed internal document hypertext refernces with URL's. '#selector' + strings now work again. + +8-24-93 +* When files come through on pre HTTP/1.0 servers they are now + recognized by their file extensions + +8-23-93 +* Lynx can now speak to old NCSA pre HTTP/1.0 servers +* fixed ALT bug that had to do with style changes not + happening before the alt was printed. + +8-21-93 +* updated the man file lynx.1. + +8-19-93 +* updated help and converted it to HTML. Made a new help location and + server. The new default help file is + http://kufacts.cc.ukans.edu/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html + +8-15-93 +* changed '\' to toggle between source and no source. When you press + '\' while viewing a rendered HTML document you will get the HTML source + when you press '\' while viewing HTML source you will get the + rendered HTML. +* Added ALT attribute to IMG tag. When ALT is available the contents + are displayed. When ALT is missing [IMAGE] is displayed. When + ALT="" nothing is displayed. + +8-14-93 +* Added document reload command. CTRL-R when pressed will reload + the document into memory and redisplay it, clearing the screen. + This is very useful when editing documents, outside of Lynx while + using Lynx for rendering. +* Added source view mode. '\' when pressed will reload the document + and display the HTML source. (doesn't work for gopher directoryies right + now, but gopher isn't HTML anyways) +* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused it not to be able to convert to + www/source. +* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused most binary file transfers to fail +* added binary file transfer ability. When binary files are selected + the user is prompted for a file name to save to. The default directory + is the one the user started in. +* Lynx now reloads local HTML files and re-renders them after editing. + +??-??-?? +* At some point I added the ability to edit HTML files on the local + machine. + +8-12-93 +* Added Nested Lists, up to six levels, with different bullets + for each level. +* Due to the fact that nearly everyone seems to use P to mean + two returns within the same style, and Mosaic has been kind + enough to support this meaning, :( :( :( I have changed + the P tag to reflect this interpretation. P can be used + anywhere and will mean insert two returns. (i.e., two BR tags) + +8-11-93 +* Made the default Mime type for unknown file types on ftp servers + to be text/plain. Previously the WWWLibrary had the default + as application/octet-stream which meant that most files could not + be viewed. +* Changed the ADDRESS style to be more like XMosaic + Left flush, newline top and bottom +* The Statusline now displays the URL when retrieving files. +* added BR (linebreak) tag! + The BR tag inserts a line break and maintains the current style! + The BR tag may be used anywhere. +* added HR (horizontal rule tag!) + The HR tag puts a horizontal line seperating two bodies of text. + The HR tag may be used anywhere. + +8-8-93 +* All spaces, tabs and returns are now collapsed down do one + space. +* fixed bug whiched caused certain links beginning at the + begining of a line to be bad. +* added '*' (stars) to unordered lists and numbers to ordered + lists. +* changed dir lists to be more like menu lists. +* all emphasis, physical and symantic, now have _underlines_ + around them to show emphasis. + + +RELEASE OF VER 2.0.10 ----------------------------------------------- + +7-8-93 +Added [IMAGE] in all places where IMG tags appear. +added WWW_HOME environment variable support. +fixed searching in WWW. +removed tildas from mail messages for security reasons. +added emacs-like key defs. +changed gopher dir routines and Verbose format of directories + +6-30-93 +Forgot to put all kinds of bug fixes and stuff in here during the +past month. I have been working on upgrading to the 2.X WWWlibrary +Today I changed 'g' to mean goto a url, and 'v' to be view the +bookmark page. + +5-30-93 +Fixed problem with ftp: URL not being recognized and not working. + +5-28-93 +Tried to remove the use of tabs and replace them with appropriate +spaces. This was done to support brain dead curses packages that +don't handle tabs. (like linux) + +5-20-93 +Fixed socket problem which was causing a problem with telnet's +connecting + +5-18-93 +Fixed SUN curses problem, now works with the /usr/5lib routines + +4-9-93 +Added an option to turn on link numbering + +4-7-93 +Fixed read_rc() bug which caused .lynxrc files to be read incorrectly +Fixed file cacheing bug which only allowed searching to be performed +once. (it cached the answer and displayed that each time a new +search was requested) + +4-2-93 +Fixed VMS I/O bug and TCP routines. + +4-1-93 +Ported 2.0 to VMS + +3-17-93 +Fixed a bug: Multiply defined procedure async_abort in +the files get_file and get_bin_file + +3-16-93 +Optomized Gopher TCP routines, increased speed by a factor of 10! + +3-9-93 +Added WWW support by integrating the WWWlib1.4 + +2-10-93 +Added home page support and append features. + +12-22-92 +Added support for Image types using xloadimage for X-terminals. + +12-1-92 +Added gopher binary file types diff --git a/docs/CHANGES2.4 b/docs/CHANGES2.4 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..19221e36 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/CHANGES2.4 @@ -0,0 +1,891 @@ +--- Rename of Lynx2-3-FM and release as Lynx2-4 (08-June-1995) --- +============================================================================== +06-08-95 +* All of the changes from lynx2-3-FM are now located at ftp2.cc.ukans.edu. + We will call this version lynx2-4 and all new changes will be added here. + - JP +06-05-95 +* Added isc support based on post to lynx-dev from Ami Fischman + (a540ami@pic.ucla.edu). - FM +06-04-95 +* Initialize t1->name before the StrAllocCopy() in LYMainLoop.c for + DIRED_SUPPORT tagging. - Rick Mallett (rmallett@ccs.carleton.ca) +* Don't bother creating a /tmp copy of local files for downloading + under the DIRED_SUPPORT, and don't include "Save to disk" in the + download menu for such files. - RM +* Deal with any newlines or tabs in statusline messages, along lines + in patch from Peter Marquardt. - FM +* Various fixes to ensure terminations of strings, along lines suggested + by PM. - FM +* Made HTAlert messages more readable in trace mode. +* Replaced info.cern.ch with www.w3.org in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - GL +* Allow definition of the global configuration file (lynx.cfg) path and + name via a "LYNX_CFG" VMS logical or Unix environment variable. Will + override the "LYNX_CFG_FILE" definition in userdefs.h. The -cfg command + line switch will override those. SYS$LOGIN (VMS) or '~' (Unix) can be + used in the path to treat the global configuration file as a personal + configuration file ($HOME will be substituted for '~'). Meets objective + in patch posted by Danny Meyer (mayer@ljsrv2.enet.dec.com) but does + not seek lynx.cfg in the user's HOME directory without an explicit + directive to do so. Issue a screen message and then exit if the + configuration file is not readeable (rather than continuing as if + one had been found and read). - FM +* Added protections from NAMEless INPUT or TEXTAREA tags. - FM +05-29-95 +* Changed close(*s) typo in HTTCP.c to NETCLOSE(*s). Caused tight loops if + on error *s became stdin. - Peter_Marquardt (wwwutz@cha01.tfh-berlin.de) +05-20-95 +* Mods of proxying/gatewaying code, replace obsolete info.cern.ch default + URL addresses with www.w3.org, and add option to use the new www.w3.org + wais search gateway in cover page for wais searches. - FM +05-10-95 +* If a startfile specified on the command line maps to a MIME type + which invokes an alternate display device, allow -homepage, if also + specified, to be substituted for startfile on quiting from the display + device, rather than forcing an exit due to the original startfile having + been neither text/html nor text/plain. Based on a patch from GL, with + protections against possible infinite getfile() loops added. - FM +* Include -t switch when pico is the editor for reply_by_mail() in + LYMail.c. - GL +05-04-95 +* Oops. Had zipped the wrong LYReadCFG.c in yesterday's mods. - FM +05-03-95 +* Do not override any external proxy and no_proxy variables with those + in lynx.cfg. Bug fixes in code for setting proxy variables on Unix, + based on patches from Roman Czyborra (czyborra@cs.tu-berlin.de). - FM +* Fixes for tagging when Lynx jumps to another screen and then comes back, + and deal with possibility of screen outputs from compress/decompress + utilities. - GL +* Added support for Sequent's DYNIX/ptx operating system, and bug fixes + in HTTCP.c's BSDselect(). - Rodney Barnett (RBarnett@us.teltech.com) +* Increased limits in select() loops to 5000 tries. - FM +* Specify /nomember for compilations with DECC. It's not the default + on AXP and the code assumes byte alignment. - FM +04-19-95 +* Added Alan Hirsh's script (LynxDir:VMSPrint.com) for dealing with busy + VMS print queues such that Lynx might otherwise delete the temporary + file before it has been queued for printing. - FM +* Added lots of type casting to the mathematical operations in GridText.c + to minimize possible sizing/alignment problems for DECC/AXP (and any + Unix flavors that use the Alpha chip). - FM +04-17-95 +* Use test=test -z "$LYNX_VERSION" like test=test -n "$LYNX_VERSION" + in mailcap files simply as flags for non-LYNX versus LYNX environment, + without actually bothering to execute a test. - FM +* Issue "** Bad HTML!!! Use -trace to diagnose. **" statusline messages + when bad HTML is encountered, and suppress those statusline messages in + favor of the TRACE messages when -trace is used. - FM +* Fixed anchor deletion problem in yesterday's ISMAP mods. - FM +* Removed -ltermcap from AIX makes (AIX doesn't use it). - FM +04-16-95 +* Send a 0,0 coordinate pair if a user clicks on an ISMAP link, so that + it's handled equivalently to clicks on an ISMAP submit button, and + (typically) will return the server's default. Note that the default + often is the parent document, and if so, the current document will + be returned via redirection (pointlessly 8-). However, this mod + allows the WebMaster to use a pure-text document as the default for + Lynx. - FM +* Protections against crashes for inappropriately positioned form tags. - FM +* Fixes in handling of configurable INEWS path. - FM +* Support for VT500 series terminals. - George Cook (cook@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu) +04-12-95 +* Makefile tweaks for bsdi and aix4. - FM +04-11-95 +* Mods for building with BSD Interative (bsdi). - FM +04-08-95 +* Added translation of HTML entities and decimal escaping for the + VALUEs of INPUT and OPTION tags. - FM +* For TYPE="image" INPUT tags, use "[IMAGE]-Submit" as a pseudo-ALT + string, and submit a 0,0 coordinate pair if it's clicked, which + typically will invoke the server's default (I guess something is + better than nothing. 8-). - FM +* Handle (possibly multiple) angle brackets in bookmark and showinfo + link names. - FM +* Fixed typo in for-ultrix code in LYMain.c. - FM +04-04-95 +* Added ability to set proxy environment variables via lynx.cfg. - FM +04-01-95 +* Added handling of the HTML 3.0 attributes for ISINDEX tags: + ISINDEX HREF="reference" PROMPT="string" + The ACTION attribute didn't make it into HTML 2.0. For now, we'll keep + supporting it in Lynx by treating it as a synonym for HREF. - FM +03-31-95 +* Mods for AIX v4.1.1 and addition of make aix4. - FM +* Added prototype and extern declarations for BSDselect(). - FM +* Fixed bugs in form_getstr() that could clobber the stack. - GL +* Fixes for symlink handling. - GL +* Made LYShowInfo.c aware of the setuid, setgid and sticky file modes, + and nicer mode display if the file doesn't have the read bit set. - GL +03-30-95 +* Fixed glitch in BASE tag handling. - FM +03-29-95 +* Initialize pointers in add_trusted() of LYGetFile.c before the + StrAllocCopy() calls. - FM +03-26-95 +* Miscellaneous TRACE and related messaging tweaks. - FM +03-24-95 +* Handle defaulted localhost in file BASE tags, and related tweaks of + defaulted localhost handling in file URLs. - FM +* Use RM_PATH for both file and directory deletions with the DIRED_SUPPORT + remove function. - GL +--- STARTING 2.3-FM --- +============================================================================== +03-23-95 +* Designate this code set as lynx2-3-FM to avoid any confusion with the + official releases at UKans. - FM +* Tweaks of code for defaulted localhost in file URLs. Don't require + any host field marker in such URLs - FM +03-21-95 +* Added handling of defaulted localhost in file URLs. - FM +* More protections against bad HTML. - FM +* SYSLOGing enhancements. - GL +* Suspend curses during my_spawn()'s, and fixes of code for the child + and error return detection. - GL +03-20-95 +* More protections against potentially infinite loops. - FM +03-16-95 +* Enhancements of 'c'omment and mailto handling. - FM +* Mods to build.com for enabling submission to BATCH. - FM +* Ultrix terminal-handling fix. - Roman Czyborra (czyborra@cs.tu-berlin.de) +03-15-95 +* Fixed bug in for-Unix directory listing code to screen out inaccessible + parent directories. Was also being applied to ftp listings. - FM +* Made bolding of H1 through H7 headers a lynx.cfg option, with the + non-bolding as the compilation default. - FM +03-13-95 +* Fixed bug in setting link[].lname elements to empty strings for form + INPUT_ANCHORs. Was causing showinfo() to report the links from the + previous document (yet another memory leak bites the dust 8-). - FM +* Numerous fixups of bold and underline handling. - FM +03-09-95 +* Increased the while() loop limit for select() tries in HTTCP.c to 500. - FM +* Memory allocation/free fixes in HTAccess.c. - FM +* Makefile and documentation tweaks. - FM +03-07-95 +* Implemented HT_BOLD when specified for headers in DefaultStyle.c. H1 is + now uppercase, bold, and centered. H2 - H7 are lower or mixed case, bold, + and progressively indented. - FM +* Miscellaneous enhancements of menu displays. - FM +* Allow tabs and '$' in lynxexec commands. - FM +* More TOUPPER/TOLOWER fixes. - FM +03-06-95 +* Added ability to set the INEWS path in lynx.cfg. - FM +03-05-95 +* Separated the newspost URL into newspost versus newsreply, and modified + LYNews.c to behave more rationally for new versus followup posting. - FM +* Added "mode reader" command for news list and article requests. - FM +* Enabled saving of list_dir_style settings in the user's RC file. - FM +* Don't restrict rearming SIGINT in LYClean.c for IGNORE_CTRL_C to just + SVR4. - FM +* Added numerous protections against core_dumps/ACCVIOs in HTML.c for bad + HTML. Should also help reduce likelihood of infinite while() loops and + a runaway CPU if binary files are mistyped and rendering is attempted. - FM +* Added (unsigned char) type casts in addch() calls for proper handling of + high value ISOLATIN1 characters. - FM +* Limited the while() loop for select()'s in HTTCP.c to 50 tries, to help + reduce likelyhood of a runaway CPU on undetected terminal disconnects. - FM +* Fixed typo in build.com. - FM +* Added Craig's lynx_help and about_lynx files for the lynx2-3-7 distribution, + updated for lynx2-3-9 BETA. - FM +--- STARTING 2.3.9 BETA --- +============================================================================== +02-20-95 +* Updated doc files and passed on to UKans for archiving on the + ftp2.cc.ukans.edu server as 2.3.8 BETA. - FM +02-17-95 +* Further updates of building procedures for VMS. - FM +* Further updates of lynx.man, lynx.hlp and documentation. Indicate + that the inside_foo and outside_foo restrictions are not selective + on systems which lack utmp. - FM +* Changed yesterday's DGUX define fo DGUX_OLD, because only older + Data General systems need it. - FM +02-16-95 +* Added Jeff's updates of lynx.man and lynx.hlp, further updated for + v2.3.8 - FM +* Fixed typos in LYMail.c and HTTPC.c. - FM +* Cleaned up #ifdef'ing for -DIGNORE_CTRL_C. - FM +* Added -DDGUX for using inet_addr(host).s_addr instead of inet_addr(host) + in HTParseInet() of HTTCP.c (Data General may need it). - FM +* Don't report "-help" as an invalid option. - FM +02-15-95 +* Handle HTML entities and decimal escaping in ALT strings. - FM +* Build fixups for TCPWARE. - FM +02-14-95 +* Added transmission of Accept-Language headers. A default preferred + language is defined in userdefs.h. It can be overridden via lynx.cfg. + Users can change that via the 'o'ptions menu and save their preference + in their RC file. - FM +* Tweak of FIXED record handling on VMS. - FM +* Defined Unix ZIP_PATH and UNZIP_PATH in userdefs.h. - FM +02-12-95 +* Added -localhost switch for restricting access to files and servers + on the local host. - FM +* Added -nobrowse switch for disabling directory browsing. - FM +* Added -selective switch for requiring a .www_browsable file in + each directory for browsing access to it. The enabling files + are not included in the directory listings. - FM +* Fixed up displaying of README files in directory listings on + VMS. - FM +* Replaced all tolower() and toupper() calls with the TOUPPER() and + TOLOWER() macros in HTUtils.h (should help deal with some of the + strange behavior reported for some flavors of Unix; see header of + HTUtils.h). - FM +Worked in mods from David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) - FM: +* Don't issue the ../ link in Unix local directory listings if the parent + directory is not readable (was already dealt with on VMS - FM). +* Include an Organization: header in Unix news postings, if possible + (was already dealt with on VMS - FM). +* Don't allow the editing of Unix mail headers because that is error + prone (no change on VMS; editable pseudo-headers are included for + informational purposes, but the real headers are those of the + account running Lynx - FM). +* Don't hardcode the Unix mv command; use MV_PATH define in userdefs.h. +* Moved the Unix COPY_COMAND define to userdefs.h as COPY_PATH. +* Completed the Unix ZIP support. +02-10-95 +* Added code for converting the headers of downloaded binaries on VMS + to indicate FIXED 512 record format. See the documentation in + userdefs.h, lynx.cfg and FIXED512.COM for more information. - FM +02-08-95 +* Fixed glitch in HTInit.c which mis-casted the default MIME type for + files with a .sh extension, causing the EXEC_SCRIPT function to be + disfunctional. - FM +* I think I finally have Lynx showing "(p# of N)" properly in the title + lines (we'll see if perfection has really been achieved 8-). - FM +* Extended directory browsing on VMS to the -homepage specification, + if included on the command line, e.g., lynx -homepage=sys$login + will start up Lynx with the default startfile, but the 'm'ain menu + command will yield listings of the home directory. - FM +* Added -fileversions switch on VMS for including all versions of files + in directory browser listings (otherwise, only the highest version is + listed, with no version numbers displayed). - FM +* Modified LYEdit.c to use fopen(filename,"a") instead of access(filename,2) + to verify write access for editing files (checking "append" access appears + to be a more reliable way to do it across platforms/flavors). - FM +02-07-95 +* Implemented directory browsing for VMS. - FM +* Fixed printer command handling to actually prompt for and use a second + filename argument if two "%s" strings are in the command map. - FM +* Added anti-Unix-shell-spoofing code for all of the filename argument + handling. - FM +* Fixed glitch in getenv(DISPLAY) calls on VMS. +02-04-95 +* Fixed a glitch in BASE support. Should now work properly when both + standard and Lynx-specific hrefs are in the document. - FM +02-03-95 +* Added support for posting to newsgroups from Lynx on VMS via the + ANU-NEWS software. - FM +* Numerous href parsing enhancements. - FM +* Enhancements and bug fixes of news displays. - FM +* Enabled display of Linknames with angle brackets (as for news URLs) + in the showinfo page. - FM +* Ensured that a file URL which is really an ftp URL will yield an + "FTP is Disabled" statusline message when it's disabled. - FM +02-01-95 +* Defined out the LYK_VERSION code and made Control-V a dead key again, + since including the Lynx name and version strings in the showinfo ('=') + and 'o'ptions displays is adequate, and people on different platforms + or flavors associate Control-V with other functions. - FM +01-31-95 +* Beefed up the BASE support. - FM +* Made all WWWLib cover pages and menus HTTP/1.0 compliant (to ensure + resetting of any BASE tags) and gave them more pizzaz. - FM +* Trim terminal slashes in ftp paths if not the Welcome directory, so + we'll get "Up to" links. Terminal slashes in file paths still force + that directory to be treated as the Welcome directory. For example, + ftp://host/blah/foo/ will have an "Up to blah" link listed, but + file://host/blah/foo/ will treat /blah/foo/ as "Welcome" (both ftp + and file "Up to" links are blocked by -DNO_PARENT_DIR_REFERENCE). - FM +* The VMS SOCKETSHR_TCP support can't yet handle telnet, tn3270 or + rlogin URL's (Andy Harper is working on it; be patient 8-). Modified + HTTelnet.c to compile properly and behave rationally when such URL's + aren't supported. - FM +* Corrected doc files based on Larry Virden's (lvirden@cas.org) careful + (or is it carefull) proof-reading. Thanks Larry! - FM +* More type casts for ANSI C compliance. - FM +01-30-95 +* Added numerous type casts for ANSI C compliance. - FM +01-29-95 +* Prototyped HTHostName() for yesterday's mods in HTAccess.c. - FM +* Updated lynx.cfg. - FM +01-28-95 +* Added lynx name and version to the showinfo page and options menu. - FM +* Tweaked Danny's news proxying mods for selective no_proxy directives + with a port field (119) for news, and added equivalent code for wais + (port 210). - FM +* Updated the INSTALLATION file (I hope people read it 8-). - FM +* Hadn't included last night's typo fix in the archived fileset. - FM +01-27-95 +* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) mods for proper handling of + no_proxy directives for news (NNTPSERVER) hosts. - FM +* Worked in Ari Luotonen's (luotonen@dxcern.cern.ch) mods for sending + a "Pragma: no-cache" header for use by a proxy server in conjunction + with the RELOAD command. - FM +* Fixed to handle file URL's appropriately in conjunction with proxying + of ftp URL's. For file URL's on the local host, direct access is + attempted, with no ftp attempt if that fails, whether or not proxying + is in effect, and whether or not no_proxy directives have been set. + Both ftp URL's, and file URL's on a remote host, are sought via ftp + without a direct access attempt. File URL's for remote hosts are + converted to ftp URL's before submission to a proxy server, so no + special procedure need be implemented to induce the proxy server to + act on them (You shouldn't continue using file URL's when you intend + ftp, but Lynx will handle such URL's properly when encountered in + old documents that use file when ftp is intended.) - FM +* Fixed typo in yesterday's "psychotherapy". - FM +01-26-95 +* Escaping of ISINDEX queries needed more tweaks to work properly with + high value IsoLatin1 characters. - FM +* Applied psychotherapy to the schizophrenic behavior that was exhibited + when download, upload, print, history or showinfo commands were used + during displays of each other's menus or temporary files. - FM +* Enabled downloading of links from the history page. - FM +01-25-95 +* Added LYK_VERSION command (^V) for showing version of Lynx. - FM +* Include file fixes for TCPWARE. - FM +* Fixed bug in showinfo() which caused core dumps when invoked while + positioned on any form field which has a "linkname" but a NULL + "filename". - FM +* Fixed glitch in 'p'rint menu. - FM +01-24-95 +* Enabled SOCKSification for any Unix flavor via the SITE-LYDEFS, + SITE-DEFS and SOCKSLIB definitions in the top-level Makefile. Added + info in INSTALLATION on how to do it for VMS. Included notes that you + are better off building Lynx normally, and instead using a SOCKSified + proxy server to get through a firewall. - FM +* Added instructions in INSTALLATION for setting up proxy service. - FM +* Fixed multiple submit button handling to distiguish which button was + activated when they have the same name, and include only that button's + name/value pair in the submission. - FM +* Figured out how to apply all security and restrictions checks for + redirecting URLs returned by ISINDEX searches, and accordingly lifted + the bypasses for the previously insecure access types. - FM +* Added option to use Jerry Whelan's (guru@bradley.edu) BSDselect() for + SVR4 systems with the "type any key" problem. - FM +01-23-95 +* Fixed up escaping of queries in HTSearch(). - FM +* Updated the sample jumps files. - FM +* Worked in socksification mods from Reese Ferry (reesef@VNET.IBM.COM) - FM +* Enabled use of LOCALE for international characters with any Unix flavor + (not just sun) via a define in the top level Makefile. - FM +01-22-95 +* Updated the lynx.cfg configuration file. - FM +* Implemented BASE handling. - FM +01-21-95 +* Fixed -cfg switch handling so that the specified, alternate configuration + file properly is read instead of the default system file specified in + userdefs.h. - FM +* Made 'p'rint, 'd'ownload and 'u'pload menu lists single spaced. - FM +* Fixed HTFileFormat() in HTFile.c so that it properly processes the + suffix-to-MIME-type mappings when version numbers are in local file + URLs on VMS. We therefore no longer trim off the version number if + if was included, and Lynx will now access and process that version + rather than only the highest version. - FM +01-18-95 +* Makefile fixes for convex and linux. - FM +01-17-95 +* More Makefile fixes. - FM +01-14-95 +* Fixes for FreeBSD. - FM +01-12-95 +* Made the "ls -l" emulation in local directory listings a compilation + option (see the top level Makefile). - FM +* Made inclusion of "Up to" parent links in local directory listings a + compilation option (see top level Makefile). - FM +* Message fix for checkmail on Unix. - FM +* Fixes for SCO with gcc. - FM +01-11-95 +* Restored original hash table function in HTAnchor.c without (hopefully 8-) + reviving anchor deletion problems. - FM +* Fixed typo in HTAccess.c. - FM +* Added code in HTFile.c from Timothy Newsham (newsham@aloha.net) for + generating long style Unix listings (ls -l). - FM +01-10-95 +* Escape dashes in lynx.man. - FM +* Added NetBSD support from Bryan T. Vold (btv@wiley.HealthPartners.COM). - FM +* Made anchor searches in hash tables case-sensitive (so paths which + differ only in their case can be distinguished, as people using the + DIRED support kept requesting) without (hopefully 8-) reviving anchor + deletion problems. - FM +01-09-95 +* More Makefile and code fixes for building properly with various systems + and compilers. - FM +01-06-95 +* Numerous fixes for handling signals (e.g., SIGWINCH) received during + keystroke fetches, without (hopefully 8-) reviving the problem of + runaway CPU's on undetected terminal disconnects. - FM +* More Makefile and code fixes for building properly with various systems + and compilers. - FM +01-05-95 +* Changed define for syslog() logging to SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS and picked up + logging of ISINDEX search requests that don't go through getfile(). - FM +* More fixes for redirection returned via ISINDEX searches. - FM +* Fixed missing newline character at end of last .lynxrc entry. - FM +* More Makefile tweaks. - FM +* More additions in LYCurses.h for compilers which fail to check whether TRUE + and FALSE are already defined before defining them in curses.h. - FM +01-03-95 +* Fix for redirection returned via ISINDEX searches. - FM +12-29-94 +* Yet more top level Makefile tweaks. - FM +* Fix bcopy problem for UCX. - Martin Zinser (zinser@vscn.gsi.de) +* Fix ioctl() problem for UCX. - MZ +12-27-94 +* More top level Makefile tweaks. - FM +12-26-94 +* Added Lou Montulli's procedure for PURIFY to the top level Makefile. - FM +12-23-94 +* Added Lou Montulli's memory leak fixes. - FM +* Fixed HTLoadedDocumentTitle() call in LYGetFile.c. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.8 BETA --- +12-22-94 +* The WFEB code as of 12-15-94 has been archived at UKans as lynx2-3-7, + so we'll make this lynx2-3-8 to avoid confusion. - FM +* Added bookmark_exec restriction for disallowing use of lynxexec URL's + in the user's bookmark file or converted Mosaic hotlist. - FM +* Enable any lynxexec URL in JUMPFILE if EXEC_LINKS has been defined. + This allows you to set both LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE + to TRUE and a single TRUSTED_EXEC rule that will always fail (e.g., + TRUSTED_EXEC:none), so that *ONLY* the lynxexec URL's in the jumps + file will be acted upon. - FM +* Disallow lynxexec URL's in G)oto if no_shell is set or if + LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE is TRUE. - FM +12-21-94 +* Include LYFLAGS in the BSDI_Makefile. - FM +* Numerous mods based on patches from David Trueman - FM: +* Changed SUN4 ifdef for implementing the "reverse clear screen hack" to + REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM since not all sun4 systems experience this + problem. +* Changed a few messages to use key_for_func() instead of a hard-coded + key mapping. +* Allow control-C as well as control-G to abort or cancel on Unix (as + already on VMS). On VMS, control-C and control-Y evoke a "Do you really + want to quit?" prompt, and a 'n'o reply gets handled as if control-G + has been entered in the first place. On Unix, control-C is treated + simply as a synonym for control-G, and control-Y is not an interrupt + signal. This seems the best way to handle those control signals, based + on what VMSers versus Unixites would expect them to do. +* Added code to disallow the writing of files beginning with a dot if + NO_DOT_FILES is set TRUE in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg. +* Added possibility of logging URL access via syslog() on Unix (ifdef'd + with LOGGING). +* Improved and made more flexible the security for lynxexec URL's. The + default behaviour is the same as now, but source locations and the path + (Unix) or name (VMS) of programs to be executed can be restricted via + TRUSTED_EXEC rules in the lynx.cfg file. +* Convert ~ in lynxexec paths to $HOME on Unix. +* Several changes in DIRED support. Tidied and consolidated code. Changed + the way tags are freed (fixing a bug where they did not always get cleared + properly). Changed all programs to *_PATH defines. Changed the display + of tags so they work with numbered links. +* Added another restriction to disallow telnet port specifications in + G)oto URL's. +* A bit of special case code in jump handling. If key mapping is G, allow it + to be typed as "go target". +* Change strncmp in remap() to strcmp() (bug fix). +* Report offending bad option in main(). +* In mainloop(), make \r same as \t and \n. +* Combine LYK_REMOVE code with LYK_DEL_BOOKMARK so that they can share the + same key map. +* If show_cursor is true, position cursor 1 position before the link, which + makes it less likely that the link is obscured in defective terminal + programs +12-15-94 +* More fixes in LYno_attr_char_case_strstr() and LYno_attr_char_strstr() - FM +* People didn't like having to erase the default WHEREIS ('/') search string + when it wasn't what they wanted in a new document (though most didn't know + that it can be done easily via ^U), and Lynx doesn't have real editing via + LYgetstr() (just deletion from the end of the string), so I got rid of the + the editing offer. The previous search string is still buffered across + document fetches, and can be used across documents via NEXT ('n'). You + also can use WHEREIS without a search string entry to turn off highlighting + within the current document, and then NEXT to restore it. If control-G is + used instead of a blank string to cancel a WHEREIS command, it does not + turn off the highlighting. So everything everyone asked for is now + possible (once you figure out how to do it 8-). - FM +12-14-94 +* Oops! Fixes in tcp.h for MULTINET with DECC/VAX had left SOCKET_ERRNO + undefined for all the other VMS TCPIP packages. That's what I get for + working on this stuff too late at night. - FM +* Additional ANSI compliance fixes in HTTCP.c for builds with DECC/VAX and + non-MULTINET VMS TCPIP packages. - FM +12-13-94 +* Modified searches for strings within the currently displayed document + ('/', as opposed to 's' for ISINDEX searches) so that the highlighting of + the search string is not retained when the current document is changed, + and added recall buffering of the search string so that it's offered as + the default for editing or reuse on subsequent '/' commands. Also, we + now force redraws on invokations of such searches so that hits will be + highlighted even if they occur on the current page. Links with hits such + that they have embedded highlighting of the search strings will not have + the embedded highlighting restored when the cursor is moved onto and then + off of them (helps to distinguished whether it's intended or the due to + the search), but will be restored whenever the page is redrawn. All + embedded highlighting also is restored when the 'n'ext command is used to + repeat the search in the current document, even if the returned hits do not + cause a page change. Note that these searches first search only the links, + and position you on the first link with a hit occurring after the current + link. If there were no hits in the links, then the text is searched and + the first hit occurring after the current link is positioned at the top of + the page. They never did, and still do not, search both the link and text + portions of the document simultaneously. Also note that ISINDEX searches + never have and still do not yield highlighting of the query string(s) in + the returned document. +* Fixed LYno_attr_char_case_strstr() and LYno_attr_char_strstr() in + HTStrings.c so that they properly ignore any attribute characters in + the comparison string and return a pointer to the correct location + of a match with the target string. - FM +12-12-94 +* Modified FTP gateway to display 230- as well as 250- information/help + messages, and on non-Unix as well as Unix systems. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.7 BETA --- +12-11-94 +* Further tweaked explanatory comments in the configuration and samples + files, and updated the instruction files. - FM +12-09-94 +* Modifed PassesTest() in HTInit.c to avoid the overhead of system() calls + by using getenv() when test -n "$DISPLAY" and test -z "$DISPLAY" + commands are encountered in the mailcap file. Otherwise, needlessly + expensive system() calls potentially could be made for virtually every + viewer mapping in that file!. For Lynx, those two strings in the mailcap + file now are equivalent to the :XWINDOWS and :NON_XWINDOWS flags, + respectively, for VIEWER: assignments in lynx.cfg. - FM +* Also modified PassesTest() so that it simply treats test -n "LYNX_VERSION" + as success. Why spawn a system() command to see if Lynx is running, when + it obviously is!. However, that string can be included in the mailcap + file for assignments that should be restricted to Lynx if other software + also uses the file. - FM +* The above two mods make it unnecessary to actually use a "test" script for + differentially setting viewers in XWINDOWS versus NON_XWINDOWS environments, + so VMSers also can use the mailcap files for differential assigments of + viewers, without those DCL error messages about "test" which have been + mystifying so many people. However, yesterday's mods do make it possible + for VMSers to use a "test" script for checking other environment or system + features, and thereby setting viewer switches differentially, analogously + to the command line switches for Lynx itself. - FM +* Modified comments in samples/mailcap to indicate these enhancements. - FM +* Modified comments in userdefs.h to describe correctly what the Lynx code + does as of v2.3: Any SUFFIX or VIEWER mappings in lynx.cfg will be + overridden in src/HTInit.c if they also appear there. Then, any mappings + in mime.type or mailcap will override those from lynx.cfg and src/HTInit.c. + The XLOADIMAGE definition is used in src/HTIinit.c, and you can use + mailcap, but not lynx.cfg, to override it. - FM +* Modified comments in lynx.cfg and samples/lynx.cfg to indicate what Lynx + really does, and the use of mailcap files to do what lynx.cfg had claimed + it could do but doesn't. - FM +* Fully implemented multiple submit button support for both POST and GET + forms. - FM +* Added LYK_RESUBMIT keymap (with default binding to 'x' and 'X') for forcing + submissions of forms to servers (i.e., never use cache). LYK_ACTIVATE + (with default binding to right-arrow and RETURN) still fetches from cache + if available. Statusline help describes these commands when positioned + on a submit button. - FM +12-08-94 +* Fixed HText_submitForm() in GridText.c to handle submitting INPUT types + (e.g., type="image") which have name/value pairs. - FM +* Modified DCLspawn to recognize -1 on failure and 0 or 1 on success as + return or exit values of scripts, and report -1 or 0 as it's own return + value. If a "test" script is used on VMS in conjunction with .mailcap + for setting viewers, it should return -1 if the test fails and 0 or 1 if + it passes (the "test" script can be DCL or an exectutable, and should be + defined as a foreign command). If you don't have a "test" script, don't + include that instruction in .mailcap. - FM +* The tmpaddress pointer in do_www_search() of GridText.c needed to be + initalized to NULL. - FM +12-07-94 +* Made sufficiently ANSI compliant to build with DECC on VMS without using + the /stand=vaxc qualifier, and further modified so that Lynx will build + and run (extremely well 8-) with DECC/VAX. Whooh, that took some doing! + These mods are also desireable for builds on Unix. - FM +12-02-94 +* Fixed the query recall buffer in do_www_search() of GridText.c to restore + the +'s to spaces and unescape properly. - FM +* Include file and define fix ups, for SOCKETSHR/NETLIB support and convex + builds, in tcp.h, LYShowInfo.c and top level Makefile. - FM +11-27-94 +* Fixed bugs associated with failure to check the post_data element in + addition to the address element when making push/pop decisions for the + history stack, and when checking whether a requested document has been + loaded successfully. The address element is insufficient for documents + returned by POST'ed forms. - FM +* Check -trace switch earlier in LYMain.c so that trace messages associated + with setting up the Lynx configuration will actually be displayed. - GL +11-23-94 +* More fix ups for the SOCKETSHR/NETLIB support. Close to "all set" but needs + more field testing with the full range of TCPIP packages for VMS. - FM +* Added HP_TERMINAL define for the DIM workaround to the REVERSE problem with + HP terminals. If not defined, SNAKE builds will not make that substitution + (would be better to do this in a way that checks the terminal at run time, + but we'll hold off on that for now). - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.6 BETA --- +11-21-94 +* Replaced ucx$inetdef.h with socketshr_library:ioctl.h for the + SOCKETSHR_TCP builds. Note that the ioctl.h is not presently included + in the binary distribution of SOCKETSHR/NETLIB. You have to get it from + the sources distribution. - FM +11-18-94 +* Added Andy Harper's (A.Harper@bay.cc.kcl.ac.uk) "first round" support for + SOCKETSHR/NETLIB (see SOCKETSHR.ANNOUNCE). Note that it is presently + including ucx$inetdef.h which is not provided with SOCKETSHR or NETLIB + source sets, and may not be available to non-UCX sites. We're checking + into how to deal with that. - FM +* Made recall buffering of shortcuts for the 'J'ump command a configuration + file option (in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg). - FM +* Added clearerr() before the GetChar() in LYStrings.c. - FM +* Made the optional novice help lines conform to the "standard default" + key bindings. Edit them appropriately in userdefs.h if you plan to use + other bindings with that feature. +* Added George Lindholm's (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) Makefile patch for making it + just a tad easier to set up local compile options. - FM +* Eliminated serial free() in LYSanctify() of LYGetFile.c. - FM +* Restricted all "hack to fix reverse clear screen problem" code to + SUN4 (had missed one 8-). - FM +11-15-94 +* Eliminated separate list and atexit deletions of redirecting anchors. - FM +* Added Rick Dyson's (Dyson@IowaSP.Physics.UIowa.EDU) updates of the + descrip.mms files. - FM +11-12-94 +* Worked in Malcolm MacArthur's (mcscs2mm@zippy.dct.ac.uk) mods for reading + a printer's page length from the configuration file and calculating the + correct number of pages for the statusline query on whether to continue + if the document is longer than 4 printer pages. Further modified that + code to use the current LYlines for the computation when the built in + "print to screen" option is selected. See the comments concerning + "PRINTER:" definitions in lynx.cfg for more information. - FM +* Fixed HTInetStatus() in HTTCP.c to use SOCKET_ERRNO instead of errno, + based on the platform/transport-specific definitions in tcp.h. Thanks + to Danny Mayer (mayer@ljo.dec.com) for tracking down this glitch. - FM +11-10-94 +* Added David Trueman's latest clever enhancement: The command line option + -homepage=URL separates the notion of a home page (or main screen) from + the start file. So, lynx -homepage=URL1 URL2 will start up with URL2 + but the MAIN_MENU key will take the user to URL1 rather than URL2. This + is useful for public accounts that start up with an information page or + form, that then leads the user to a URL for the actual home page. The + MAIN_MENU key can thereafter be used whenever the user wishes to return + to the actual home page. - FM +* Enlarged string buffer in LYEdit.c to handle large paths. - FM +* Made 'K'eymap title and descriptions easier to edit for alternate languages + (e.g., Dutch or Greek) as required by Dick Wesseling (but, alas, the editing + still has to be done in LYKeymap.c, because it's too much to move into + userdefs.h; someday Lynx will have real internationalization code 8-) - FM +* Added titles to tops of jumps files so that the nesting level will be reset + on reloads. - FM +11-09-94 +* More prototyping and include file fixes in LYJump.c and LYMainLoop.c - FM +11-08-94 +* Prototyping fix in LYJump.c. - FM +* Miscellaneous fixes in src/descrip.mms. - FM +* Hadn't included patch for latest LYUtils.c in lynx2-3-5.patches. - FM +11-07-94 +* At popular request (already 8-), changed the "Jump to:" query to work + exactly like the "goto:" query. The previous entry is recalled, a '?' + must be entered explicitly to fetch the shortcut list (with an instruction + about that added to the prompt), and a blank entry or Control-G returns + the user to the current document. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.5 BETA --- +11-05-94 +* Numerous wonderful enhancements based on patches from David Trueman, and + entensions of those mods. Briefly: +* Implemented 'K'eymap command for showing all of the key bindings currently + in effect, with a description of their functions. This is faster and + more helpful than the online help's description of the default key + bindings. Must be uppercase 'K' if VI keys are ON, otherwise the command + is case-insensitive. Try it, you'll love it! - FM +* Implemented 'J'ump command for using "shortcut" names to access URL's in a + local "jumps.html" file that has a sorted DL list which maps each target + (shortcut) DT to it's full URL DD (see the sample jumps files added to + the distribution). The URL's could be local or remote resources, or + lynxexec or launch file URL's for system utilities (e.g., the shortcut + "news" could invoke the news reader, "mail" the mail utility, "swing" the + VMS File/Directory Management Utility, etc.). This feature is enabled by + defining JUMPFILE in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg, and can be disabled via at + run time via -restrictions=jump as a commandline switch. Must be uppercase + 'J' if VI keys are ON, otherwise the command is case-insensitive. Try it, + you'll love this too! - FM +* Added a CHECKMAIL symbol which if set TRUE in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg will + report the existance of unread mail at Lynx startup, and arrivals of new + mail, via statusline messages. VMSers can block unsoliticed system NEWMAIL + screen broadcasts ($ SET BROADCAST/NOMAIL) when using this feature. It + can be disabled at run time via the -restrictions=mail switch, which also + disables standard mail functions in Lynx, but still allows 'J'umps via a + "mail" shortcut to a lynxexec URL for a script which could perform security + functions before permitting or rejecting access to the mail utility. The + hackers will really love this! - FM +* Added ability to toggle the novice help line to show all of the principle + commands. - FM +* Miscellanous bugs and memory leaks found and fixed in conjuction with + adding and enhancing the above features. - FM +* The code may need some tweaking to build and run properly on some flavors + of Unix (appears to be all set for VMS). - FM +11-01-94 +* Fixed bug if editor is dereferenced. - David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) +* Enable alternate boxing of popup windows via defines for BOXVERT and + BOXHORI in userdefs.h - Dick Wesseling (ftu@fi.ruu.nl) +* Check for LYCursesON before making any Curses calls in cleanup() - DW +10-31-94 +* Looks like the last of the problems deleting anchors has been solved + by Dick Wasseling, so the bypass is lifted again. - FM +* If CANT_EDIT_UNWRITABLE_FILES is defined on Unix, write access is + required to edit files (write and delete access are always required + on VMS). - Alex Whittaker (alex@biu.icnet.uk) +* Moved "Press RETURN ..." text to userdefs.h. - AW +10-28-94 +* Uncache documents or bookmark file before reloads (via Control-R or + 'r'emove command) in LYMainLoop.c. - FM +* Uncache showinfo display or print, download, option, etc, menus before + reloading those in GridText.c. - Dick Wesseling (ftu@fi.ruu.nl) +* Above two fixes still don't completely solve the anchor deletion problem, + so we're still bypassing. +* Enable iso entity translations inside TITLEs - DW +10-26-94 +* Problems when deleting anchors have been reported, apparently for + documents which have been (re)loaded with LYforce_no_cache. So, + we'll retore the bypass until that problem is tracked down. - FM +10-25-94 +* Added coded for disabling mail for -anonymous via CAN_ANONYMOUS_MAIL in + userdefs.h, and via -restrictions=mail (default is enabled). - FM +10-21-94 +* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) samples/lynx.com - FM +10-05-94 +* Modified tcp.h to deal with conflicting typedefing in the MultiNet + types.h and time.h versus those for DECC. - FM +* Define FANCY_CURSES for linux-ncurses. - FM +09-30-94 +* -restrictions help list in LYMain.c should indicate "option_save" (not + "options_save") for disabling the saving of options in .lynxrc. - FM +09-29-94 +Mods based on patches from George Lindholm (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) - FM: +* Fixed problem when IGNORE_CTRL_C is defined, that was created by the + fix for runaway processes on Unix when undetected terminal disconnects + occurred. +* Added options to disable rlogin and/or ftp access. +09-28-94 +* Use "hack to fix reverse clear screen problem" in GridText.c if SUN4 is + defined (still need clarification on the exact nature of the problem + to decide if this is the best way to handle it; it bothers me to have + this kind of hack in the code 8-) - FM +Mods based on patches from George Lindholm (lindholm@ucs.ubc.ca) - FM: +* Move the "quit" text to userdefs.h from LYMainLoop.c for easier + customization. +* Typo fix for buttons submit value in GridText.c +* Renable SIGINT signal for SVR4 machines if control-c is to be ignored + when editing. +* Solaris fixes for LYCurses.h. +* Recognize pico as a special editor. +* Fix -restrictions help text. +* Fix -telnet and -news options so that they actually do something. +* Fix upload code so that you can have more than one uploader option, + and fix for freeing a static variable. +* Various prototype fixes. +* -editor command line option signals that the editor can't be changed. +* Added a SYSTEM_EDITOR option to lynx.cfg for a locked editor. +--- RELEASE of 2.3.4 BETA --- +09-27-94 +* Alas! I think I've tracked down and fixed all the bugs that were causing + ACCVIOs/CoreDumps if anchors were deleted/freed when freeing the cached + documents. So now we do delete/free them. This plugs a major memory + leak in Lynx (which we knew about, but heretofore had to live with). - FM +* Added Danny Mayer's (mayer@ljo.dec.com) fix so that MIME types are handled + case-insensitively. - FM +* Restored text/html (WWW_HTML) as the default MIME type when an HTTP/1.0 + server fails to send it in the headers. This happens because it's the + default in Mosaic and developers using that don't realize their server or + script code is failing to send it (other MIME types will be caught as an + error, and the code will be fixed by the developers). Garrett's change to + application/octet-stream (WWW_UNKNOWN) was technically correct. You can + change it back to that where indicated in HTMIME.c if you prefer that Lynx + be technically correct but functionally wrong when dealing with this + situation. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.3 BETA --- +09-22-94 +* Finished up redirection handling. Will now handle serial redirections + across multiple sites (with an arbitrary limit of 10, to prevent the + possibilily of an infinite loop of circular redirections), works properly + with redirections via the VALUE fields of OPTION tags, and no longer alters + any anchor addresses, avoiding all the problems that caused in the hash + table. - FM +* Worked in Rick Mallett's (rmallett@ccs.carleton.ca) fix for runaway + processes on Unix when undetected terminal disconnects occur. - FM +* Added Eric Jon Rostetter's (ERIC@uoft02.utoledo.edu) code for proper + keyboard handling with DEC eightbit terminals. - FM +* Added David Greer's (david_greer@robelle.com) mods for curses on + HP terminals. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.2 BETA --- +09-17-94 +* More fix ups of forms structure handling, freeing and redirecting. - FM +* Fixed problem with free's of startfile, thanks to Dick Wesseling + ftu@fi.ruu.nl - FM +09-14-94 +* More memory leak and redirection fix ups (still not perfect). - FM +* Various mods to speed up memory management with VAXC on VAXen (still + slow compared to DECC on AXPen). - FM +09-13-94 +* If an ISINDEX document is one returned by a previous search, the 's' + command puts up the query which returned it, for editting as a new query + (use Control-U to erase, Control-G to abort) Otherwise, no string is + offered in the prompt for a database query. If the previous query is + submitted without modification, a message to use Control-R to resubmit + the same query is display (so that the search will not be repeated + inadvertantly). - FM +09-12-94 +* Fixed failure to load the popped menu properly when a gopher search was + selected and a NULL string, Control-G, or arrow key is entered to cancel + the prompt for a query. - FM +* Hit lists/documents returned by ISINDEX searches are now always displayed + at their tops. They no longer inherit, inappropriately, the page and link + numbers of the previous list/document. - FM +09-11-94 +* Fixed redirection handling so that the hash tables are updated and the + history stack works properly, including with forms that have VALUE + fields in OPTION tags that return Location: URL's for searches (e.g., + the CUSI forms at Nexor). Whew, that took some doing! - FM +09-05-94 +* Fixed up remaining problems with OPTION VALUE="foo" handling and the + associated popup window positioning and scrolling. - FM +* Fixed bugs and several inadequacies in the history structure and code + (still needs some redesigning to deal more effectively with all aspects + of documents returned by forms and/or redirection). - FM +* Now deals properly with anchors in a single document returned by + a form. - FM +* Command line file specs on VMS can now be any valid explicit, wildcarded, + partial, or relative VMS specification, and will be converted to a valid + file://localhost/ URL, so that partial or relative URL's within the file + also will be interpretted properly. - FM +* Now trims trailing white space and won't get tripped up by '=' characters + when reading configuration files. - FM +* Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements. - FM +* Tracked down and eliminated more memory leaks. - FM +--- RELEASE of 2.3.1 BETA --- +7-08-94 +* Correction handling of OPTION VALUE="" implemented. +* Miscellaneous bugs corrected. +6-17-94 +* Option to log memory leaks at exit by defining LY_FIND_LEAKS at compilation. +6-17-94 +* Check amount of allocated memory, rather than just number of documents + cached, before deciding to remove the oldest document (implemented for + VMS with VAXC, not yet for Unix or VMS with DECC). +6-16-94 +* VMS bookmark file version numbers are reset on additions of bookmarks. +6-16-94 +* Gopher URL's with /hGET%20/ are converted to http URL's, as in the UMN + Unix/VMS gopher+ client. +6-16-94 +* Added DIRECT_WAIS support for VMS +6-16-94 +* Added build support for VMS TCPWare TCP/IP +5-28-94 +* Increased nesting of HTML elements from 40 to 400. Hopefully this will limit + won't be encountered often. +5-28-94 +* Modified for handling of Telnet URLs with spaces/other characters in the + username. +5-26-94 +* Began terminating memory leaks with extreme predjudice. +5-24-94 +* WAIS searches will now work when they are of type "www/present" as opposed + to only viewing the source. +5-23-94 +* Added VMS CMU TCP/IP support, thanks to Andy Harper. +--- RELEASE of 2.3 (19-May-1994, see CHANGES2-3) --- diff --git a/docs/CHANGES2.5 b/docs/CHANGES2.5 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6d2980ca --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/CHANGES2.5 @@ -0,0 +1,1696 @@ +--- Rename of Lynx2-4-FM and release as Lynx2-5 (02-May-1996) --- +============================================================================== +05-02-96 ---- Release of Lynx2-5 ---- +* Modified documentation, help, and example files based on feedback for + yesterday's Lynx2-5 pre-release. - FM +* Include ";q=0.001" whenever "iso8859-1" or "us-ascii" are autoappended + to Accept-charset headers. - FM +* Added SITE_LIBS symbol in Makefile for convenient linking to any + site-specific libraries associated with any site-specific patches. - FM +* Fixed an unsigned char typecast in GridText.c - FM +* Eliminated statusline and TRACE warnings about possibly strange formatting + when TABLEs are in a document. - FM +05-01-96 +* Renamed Lynx2-4-FM for pre-release as Lynx2-5 +04-30-96 +* Modified the fatal error messages such that they direct the user to + the local system administrator to confirm a bug before reporting it + to lynx-dev, and started updated the help and about files for the + switch to lynx-dev@sig.net as the primary list server. - FM +04-28-96 +* Made use of ordered versus unordered lists and inclusion of article dates + in listings for news groups compilation and configuration options in + userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM +04-27-96 +* Added -realm switch for restricting URLs to the realm of the startfile. + The bookmark and jumps files are always considered as part of the realm. + Any execution links or form ACTIONs are permitted if obtained from + documents in the realm, but any switches that restrict bookmark operations + will still apply. For example, -book -realm will use the bookmark file + as the startfile, and restrict URLs to files in the user's account. Adding + -restrictions=bookmark_exec will block execution links in the bookmark + file, but not in other files within the realm (i.e., in the user's + account). If the startfile is an http URL, the realm will be equivalent + to that in http authorization procedures. Can be used with -traversal + for restricting the traversal to documents within the starting realm + for an http server. - FM +* Fixed bug in form structure which could cause POST to be treated as + GET. - FM +04-25-96 +* Added code to send Host: headers as described in the 23-Apr-96 HTTP/1.1 + draft. - FM +04-23-96 +* Modified HTMIME.c to pass documents with an ISO-8859-3 through -9, EUC-KR, + or ISO-2022-KR charset specified in the Content-Type header, to set the + flag for not doing 8-bit reverse translations, and to issue a statusline + message about the charset instead of forcing a download offer. Will have + garbage in the displays of 8-bit characters if one doesn't have the + corresponding charset installed for the terminal, but no harm should be + done, and those who do can get the files displayed instead of just being + up the creek without a paddle. Korean escape sequences will still be + trashed, since be have no translation functions as for Japanese, and we + still force a download offer if there is a mismatch for the supported + character sets, so the user can cancel and then modify the terminal setup + and charset choice appropriately. - FM +* Increased the maximum number of attributes for tags (was too small for + OBJECT), updated the DTD for SCRIPT, and added the STYLE attribute for + all tags which presently, or might someday, accept it. - FM +04-21-96 +* Modified the news gateway to use an ordered list with the numbers and + dates of the articles indicated in newsgroup listings. - FM +* Fixed the checking and passing of the mailto argument in LYMainLoop.c + to mailmsg() in LYMail.c. - FM +04-20-96 +* Fixed bugs in parsing of nntp and snews partial HREFs, and in the + parsing of NNTP message headers for creation of mailto and newspost + or newsrepy links. - FM +04-19-96 +* Added OBJECT and BODYTEXT to the DTD, based on the 12-Apr-96 W3C draft. + The code for INSERT is still there, and should be remove if OBJECT + becomes a stable replacement. Code to handle data URLs for OBJECTs + not yet attempted. - FM +* More tweaks for Japanese character handling. - FM +04-18-96 +* If LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, include the list of references in the + outputs of 'p'rint menu options, analogously to the output with + -dump. - FM +04-14-96 +* Mods to report the content of SCRIPT, STYLE and ALIAS blocks in trace + mode. - FM +* Made ¨, ¯ and ™ synonyms for ¨, &hibar; and ®, + respectively. - FM +* Fixed typo in second line link highlighting code for slang. - ES +04-13-96 +* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM +* Reinitialize timeout values after select() calls in LYUtils.c. - ES +04-12-96 +* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM +* Tweak of target line and link setting when toggling to image_links mode + in LYMainLoop.c. - FM +* Tweaks of circular buffer handling based on analyses from Mike Castle + (mcastle@umr.edu) and Bryan T. Vold (btv@ldl.HealthPartners.COM). - FM +* Fixed typo for NeXT in tcp.h, based on feedback from LWV - FM +* Reinitialize timeout values after select() calls in HTTCP.c. - Erik + Sundkvist (ess@lysator.liu.se) +04-11-96 +* More tweaks of Japanese character handling. - FM +* Added code for handling charset mappings for file and ftp URLs. - FM + You can set the mappings via lynx.cfg (or mime.types), e.g.: + SUFFIX:.html8R:text/html; charset=KOI8-R + SUFFIX:.txt8R:text/plain; charset=KOI8-R +* Tweak of charset handling in HTMIME.c - FM +04-09-96 +* Modified news gateway to handle split header lines. - FM +* Tweaks of authorization header handling to make failures due to bad + headers from the http server clear to the Lynx user. - FM +04-08-96 +* Yet more tweaks of memory management. - FM +04-07-96 +* Tweaks for handling Japanese received via gateways. - FM +04-06-96 +* More memory management tweaks. - FM +04-05-96 +* Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and the online help files. - FM +* Tweaks of INPUT, TEXTAREA and SELECT popup OPTION handling when + Japanese character translations are on. - FM +04-04-96 +* Created new zip. Yesterday's appears to have been bad. - FM +04-03-96 +* More optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM +* More mods for handling keyboard input via SLANG library functions, + based on patches from JED. Note that the code for IGNORE_CTRL_C + has been bypassed in those mods, as they presently stand. - FM +04-02-96 +* Added "first pass" handling of P end tags. - FM +* Mods of HTCheckForInterrupt() for SLANG, based on patches from JED. + Note that the for-SLANG code is not taking possible SOCKSification of + Lynx into account. - FM +* Use 3 for ^C instead of 7 for ^G as the argument for the slang abort + key in calls to SLang_init_tty(). - JED +* Tweaks of make for clix. - AM +03-31-96 +* More tweaks of memory management. - FM +03-30-96 +* Added support for Japanese translations of text/plain in addition to + text/html documents, and for ALTs and form fields (see 03-26-96 mods). + Needs checking. Also added an LYK_JPN_TOGGLE, mapped to '@' by default, + for toggling JAPANESE mode ON and OFF, and code to indicate the situation + in the 'o'ptions menu. - FM +* Added make for ultrix-slang and decstation-slang, and tweaks of LYCgi.c + for ultrix. - Alvian Tam (atm@newt.phys.unsw.edu.au) +* Found and fixed some typos in yesterday's mods. - FM +03-29-96 +* Added build-slang.com for building Lynx with the SLANG library instead + of curses on VMS. - FM +* Mod to treat an EOF with errno of EINTR when GetChar() is defined as + getchar() in LYgetch() as due to a Ctrl-Z suspend, and invoke another + character fetch instead of exit on error. Based on patch from Gregory + Neil Shapiro (gshapiro@WPI.EDU). - FM +* Numerous optimizations and bug fixes based on patches from JED. - FM +03-28-96 +* More tweaks of SLANG support. - FM +* Yet more tweaks of the HTList functions and macros, and their associated + memory management. - FM +03-27-96 +* Fixed bug which could cause a crash if links are numbered and you + activate a link via a number when there are no links on the currently + displayed page. - FM +* Tweaks of Content-Encoding header handling, and more detailed messages + about it in trace mode. - FM +03-26-96 +* Added code in HTMIME.c for taking into account Content-Encoding headers, + so that compressed text/html or text/plain files are not displayed + inappropriately based on their Content-Type. - FM +* Added "first pass" support for Japanese character translations, based on + patches for Lynx2-4-1 by Takuya Asada (asada@icsd6.tj.chiba-u.ac.jp). Is + to be checked out by Nelson Henry Eric (nelsonhe@ews07.nara.kindai.ac.jp) + because I have no way to check it here. Translations can be made the + default behavior by setting JAPANESE to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or + lynx.cfg. The default can be toggled via a "-jpn" command line switch. + If made TRUE by any means, the value of KANJI_CODE set in userdefs.h + and or lynx.cfg (EUC, SJIS, or NONE) will be applied, and can be changed + via "-euc", "-sjis" or "-ascii" command line switches, for setting Kanji + code translations to EUC, Shift JIS, or disabling it, respectively. Note + that Japanese translations are not yet performed in the line editor + (LYgetstr() of LYStrings.c and form_getstr() of LYForms.c), for form + field values, or for gateways (let's first see if what I've done so far + works right 8-) - FM +* Added "LY" prefix for pop(), pop_num() and push() function names to + avoid possible conflicts with the ncurses library functions, and fixed + continuation line typo in solaris2 make, based on feedback from PN. - FM +03-23-96 +* Tweaks of memory management in the CSO/PH gateway. - FM +* Tweaks of wait() versus waitpid() handling for NeXT, aix4 and mips, + based on feedback from PN. - FM +03-22-96 +* Tweaks of SLANG support for Unix, and finished up code support for it on + VMS (but tested only with OpenVMS/AXP). Haven't yet decided how to add + VMS build support for it in the COM and MMS files. Get the SLANG library + code from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis and then add USE_SLANG in the + DEFINE list and the path to it's headers in the INCLUDE list for the + compilation, and [path]slang.olb/lib in the link list immediately before + the OPT file. We still need the curses library in the OPT file, because + that's not just curses functions on VMS and we're using ones not replaced + by the SLANG library (Try it, you'll like it! 8-). - FM +* Tweaks for NeXT, based on feedback from Paul Nevai + (nevai@ops.mps.ohio-state.edu). - FM +03-20-96 +* Tweaks of code for sorting directory listings by date (take into account + the 6-month-old time versus year rule on Unix). - FM +* Tweaks of memory management for HTList-based buffers (use internal + allocations, instead of the libwww macros). - FM +* Added solaris2-slang to Makefile, and tweaks of the sun4 makes. - LWV +03-19-96 +* Tweak of MAP handling so that the ordered lists are displayed exactly + in the order of the resolved AREA tags. +03-18-96 +* Added SLANG support (for colorized Lynx) based on patches from JED. + The make support is for linux and sun4, but it should be portable to + other Unix flavors. I have it working on VMS, but the SLANG interrupt + and exit handlers are incompatible with the current ones for VMS in + Lynx (and with the VMS debugger), so I haven't yet included SLANG + support in build.com or the MMS files. - FM +03-17-96 +* Tweaks of 'd'ownload menu handling on returns to it from a DOWNLOADER + action. - FM +* Added various anti-crash protections and cleaner code from John E. Davis + (davis@space.mit.edu) for trimming trailing white space and finding + unescaped colons in LYReadCFG.c, and cleaned up and more fully commented + the functions and subfunctions in that and the LYMainLoop.c modules. - FM +03-16-96 +* Fixed routine which sorts directory listings by date (based on 'o'ptions + menu setting) to do it accurately and in reverse chronological order. - FM +03-15-96 +* Added code to create links for likely URLs in results returned by + the CSO/PH and finger gateways. Try: + gopher://ns.bradley.edu:105/2 or: + cso://ns.bradley.edu/ and search for David Henderson. + Also try: + gopher://cegt201.bradley.edu:79/0/w%20davidh or: + finger://cegt201.bradley.edu/w/davidh as URL.s - FM +* Added LYK_INTERRUPT handling for the CSO/PH and finger gateways, and + made their memory management more efficient. - FM +* Made the my_spawn() function in LYLocal.c more portable by using + waitpid() instead of wait(). - FM +* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current position and link + on return from 'e'dit. May be wrong if the file was modified, but it + might be in the right ball park, and nothing really bad will happen if + it's far off. - FM +03-14-96 +* Added -reload switch for instructing Lynx to send "Pragma: no-cache" and + "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers when requesting the startfile from an + http server (doesn't apply to subsequent fetches, or to non-http startfile + URLs). - Peter Ekberg (peda@lysator.liu.se) +* Put the correct LYMain.c, which declares no_change_exec_perms, in the zip + (second try, hope I really did 8-). - FM +03-13-96 +* Yet more tweaks of the CSO/PH gateway. - FM +* Yet more tweaks of the finger gateway. - FM +03-12-96 +* Made the URL and command buffering in the finger gateway secure from stack + modifications, beautified the HTLoadFinger() and response() functions, and + added support for the following URL formats for sending a "", "/w", + "username", or "/w username" command to the finger server: + finger://host finger://@host + finger://host/ finger://@host/ + finger://host/%2fw finger://@host/w + finger://host/w finger://host/w/ + finger://host/username[@host] finger://username@host + finger://host/username[@host]/ finger://username@host/ + finger://host/w/username[@host] finger://username@host/w + finger://host/%2fw%20username[@host] finger://host/username[@host]/w +* Replaced the _tolower macro in the CSO/PH gateway with TOLOWER. - FM +* Tweaks of DIRED_SUPPORT. Added NO_CHANGE_EXECUTE_PERMS compilation + symbol and change_exec_perms restrictions switch for restricting + changes of the eXecute permissions to directories, and not files, + when OK_PERMIT has been set. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca) & FM +* Added make support for Intergraph CLIX (note that some online help files + must be edited and renamed to meet this Unix flavor's 14 character file + name limit). - Alex Matulich (matuli_a@marlin.navsea.navy.mil) +03-11-96 +* Added support for using finger://host/w/username to send "/w username" + to finger (port 79) servers. - FM +* Tweaks of alignment handling to deal with (illegally) embedded CENTER + containers (typically due to omission of an end tag for the first + CENTER of the pair; ugh!). - FM +03-10-96 +* Added form-based CSO/PH (port 105) gateway. Can be invoked via a + cso://host[:port]/ or gopher://host[:port]/2 URL. If the gopher + format is used and a query token is appended (?[query]), the old + ISINDEX-based gateway will be used. - FM +03-07-96 +* Added NO_FROM_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -nofrom + command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of From headers + by Lynx. - FM +* Added NO_REFERER_HEADER configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and -noreferer + command line switch, for blocking all transmissions of Referer headers + by Lynx. - FM +* Enhancements of the 'o'ptions menu. - FM +03-06-96 +* Restored the Lynx2-3 behavior of seeking the current document position + and link on (^R)eloads. Will be wrong if the document is actually a + changing script output, or SSI with changes in the sizes of inserts, + and any form entries will be lost with no warning about that if no + form links are in the currently displayed page (and there may be other + glitches I don't remember any more). However, it's correct, and more + convenient, most of the time, and nothing really bad will happen if + it's wrong. - FM +03-05-96 +* Added SAVE_SPACE configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, and LYNX_SAVE_SPACE + environment variable (Unix) or logical (VMS) for setting a default path + prefix in suggested filenames in Save to Disk operations of the 'p'rint + and 'd'ownload menus. If not set, only a filename will be suggested, + for saving in the current default directory. See the INSTALLATION file + and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM +03-02-96 +* If an IMG tag has both ISMAP and USEMAP attributes, create links for + both, and use the ALT string, if present, for the USEMAP link. The + server-side script might have a content-rich default set up for non-GUI + clients, so we may as well be able to try it, and still have our own + USEMAP listing available if it's a site unconcerned about text and + braille clients, or GUI clients with image loading turned off. - FM +* Tweaks of MAP code to maximize efficiency of fetching and processing + MAPs from a different document. - FM +* Make sure the traversal code doesn't get tripped up by any HREFs + which contain newline characters due to misparsing (e.g., because a + close-double-quote wasn't present where required, and soft_dquotes + wasn't toggled ON, or invalid comments were present, and mimimal or + historical comment parsing weren't toggled ON). - FM +* Renamed LYK_RESUBMIT ('x' or 'X') to LYK_NOCACHE and modified it's code + so that it applies to normal links as well as form submit buttons. If + used instead of LYK_ACTIVATE, any HText cache from a previous submission + or request will be dumped, and the submission or request will be made + with the "Pragma: no-cache" and "Cache-Control: no-cache" headers + included, to ensure that a proxy/cache server also will not return a + cached copy (assuming it respects either of those headers). - FM +03-01-96 +* Converted the client-side image MAP code to a protocol which returns + a stream, rather than using a temporary file. This allows saving + the link as a bookmark, for fetching the MAP and creating a listing + without need to fetch and render the original document. Also enabled + direct downloading of the MAP listing. - FM +02-29-96 +* Added handling of client-side image MAPs. If both USEMAP and ISMAP + attributes are present, the client-side MAP is used instead of the + the server-side script. The MAPs can be in the same or different + documents. The HREFs of the AREA tags are presented as a list, + with their ALTs (if present, otherwise their HREFs) as the link names + in the list. Added a TITLE attribute for MAPs, which will be ignored + by GUI clients, but if present will be used by Lynx as an H1 for the + list (MAP NAME="welcomemap" TITLE="Welcome Map"). Otherwise, the + IMG's ALT (if present, otherwise "[USEMAP]") will be used as an H1 + in the list. The MAP's resolved URL also is shown in the list, since + the URL for the list is a temporary file. - FM +02-25-96 +* Added a MINIMAL_COMMENTS configuration symbol, which if set TRUE in + lynx.cfg will emulate the Netscape v2.0 comment parsing bug of seeking + only a '-->' terminator, and not interpreting '--' pairs as serial + comments within the overall comment element. The compilation default + is FALSE, but we'll set it TRUE in lynx.cfg until Netscape gets its + comment parsing right, and "decorative" dashes in comment elements + cease to be so common in "Enhance for Netscape" pages. Also added + a '-minimal' command line switch for toggling the Mininal or Valid + configuration setting, and an LYK_MINIMAL command key toggle (mapped + by default to backquote). Note that setting Historical comments on + will override the Minimal or Valid setting (i.e., any '>' will be + treated as the terminator of a comment element). A statusline + message indicates whether Historical, Minimal or Valid comment + parsing has gone into effect when the LYK_MINIMAL or LYK_HISTORICAL + command key toggles are used (i.e., those two toggles in effect are + a "troggle"). - FM +02-22-96 +* Tweak of HTList manipulations. - FM +* Additions to the online help. - FM +* Unescape any hex escaped username and/or password in ftp URLs. - FM +02-20-96 +* Handle timeout disconnects of cached NNTP connections. - FM +* Allow head or tail match specifications (e.g., comp.infosystems.* + or *.unix) in news, nntp and snews URLs (That's illegal, so don't + use it in public documents.). - FM +* Tweak of bookmark handling. - Ismael Cordeiro (ismael@CAM.ORG) +02-16-96 +* Tweak of the new code for setting a default CHECKED radio button. - FM +02-15-96 +* Issue a sensible exit message if a non-http URL is used as the startfile + with -traversal. - FM +* Tweaks of bookmark handling. - FM +* Tweaks of Home_Dir() type casting. - FM +02-14-96 Happy Valentine's Day!!! +* Tweaks of charset conversions. - FM +02-12-96 +* Made inclusion of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT the compilation default, and + its refinement easier to understand and set in the Makefile. - Will + Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com) & FM +* Changed (X) and ( ) to [X] and [ ] for indicating checked or unchecked + checkboxes. For radio buttons, we still use (*) and ( ). - FM +02-11-96 +* Distinguish checkboxes from radio buttons in the Lynx display by using + (X) versus (*), respectively, when they are checked or selected. - FM +* Make the first radio button in a series with the same NAME checked by + default if none of them had CHECKED specified. - FM +02-09-96 +* Added LYK_HISTORICAL and LYK_SOFT_DQUOTES, mapped by default to the + the single- and double-quote keys, respectively, for toggling valid + versus "historical" comment parsing, and valid versus "old Mosaic- + and Netscape-like" double-quote parsing. - FM +* Added SCRIPT to the DTD and code to ensure that bad comments in its + content don't generate garbage in the display. - FM +* Added -DSVR4 to the make for solaris2. - KH +* Use copy instead of rename in descrip.mms for putting lynx.exe in the + top directory, as in build.com. - FM +* Added TITLE attribute to FORM, and code to use it for the Subject in + mailto ACTIONs. It's not in the spec, but better to offer it than + to settle into Netscape's ?subject=foo tack-on kludge which breaks + mailto for clients which haven't added code to cope with it. - FM +02-08-96 +* Added -book switch for using the bookmark page as the startfile. The + default or command line startfile will still be set for the 'm'ain screen + command, and be used as the startfile if the bookmark page is unavailable + or blank. - FM +* Fixed glitch for Unix in yesterday's LYMail.c mods. - FM +* Try graceful alternatives if getenv("HOME") returns NULL. - Kenneth Herron + (kherron@campus.mci.net) & FM +02-07-96 +* Added support for the ?subject=foo tack-on kludge to specify the Subject + in mailto ACTIONs and HREFs. - FM +* Convert Explorer's semi-colon Internet address separators to commas + before acting on mailto address lists on Unix or VMS. - FM +* Made EMBED empty again (the W3C container version has been replaced + by INSERT, and Netscape still has it empty). - FM +02-06-96 +* Tweaks of descrip.mms files for VMS. - FM +02-04-96 +* Fixed caching of news/nntp connections so that we access the correct host + when more than one has been specified. - FM +02-03-96 +* Added ndash and mdash to the entities conversion tables. The W3C's + DTD specifies those, whereas the text descriptions say endash and + emdash, so we'll cover all the bases by supporting all four. - FM +* Reduced the "en" metric for TAB to 2 per column. Was 12, to be + compatible with UdiWWW, but that's pixels. You can change the enval + initialization in HTML.c from 2 to 12 if you want the old behavior. - FM +* Force use of DECC in build.com if that compiler is installed on VMS, + and make sure external logicals don't defeat a choice of DECC via + descrip.mms. - FM +02-02-96 +* Mods to handle lone CRs as newlines when dislaying text/plain files + from MAC servers. Note that they'll stay CRs when downloading, or + fetching with -source, but be handled as newlines when the '\' source + toggle is used for text/html files and their source is displayed as + text/plain. - FM +01-31-96 +* Added dummy initializers in LYCharSets.c and LYEditmap.c to ensure the + modules are linked if the external model is common block and they are + placed in a library. - FM +01-30-96 +* For submissions of forms with a mailto ACTION, allow the user to edit + the default Subject string (the TITLE of the document containing the + form) via a statusline prompt, or to cancel the submission via Ctrl-G + at the prompt, analogously to 'c'omments or for anchors with a mailto + HREF. - FM +01-29-96 +* Typo fixes in HTML.c, LYJump.c and LYGetFile.c. - PM +01-28-96 +* Tweaks of redirection handling. - FM +01-27-96 +* Support use of the TITLE attribute for setting the Subject in LINKs with + REV="made" or REV="owner" and a mailto HREF, equivalently to its use + with anchors in the BODY. - FM +* Always use the parent document's URL for X-URL in mailto anchors, but + still use mailto:address if it was entered as a 'g'oto. - FM +* Improvements of the code in LYMainLoop.c for checking the types of + links (first make sure that there are links to check 8-). - FM +01-26-96 +* Made LYCharSets.c an object module instead of header for HTML.c, and + created LYCharUtils.c with character-related functions from HTML.c, + to reduce the size of HTML.c (got a report of memory exhaustion when + trying to compile HTML.c). - FM +* Added BGSOUND to the DTD and code for creating a link to the source + when clickable_images is set. - FM +01-24-96 +* Tweak of URL resolving when http servers return the obsolete file URL + format for what are actually ftp URLs (as DEC's servers are doing). - FM +* Added LYE_LOWER and LYE_UPPER for lower or upper casing lines with the + line editor. Default bindings are Ctrl-K and Ctrl-T, respectively (not + "intuitive" but they're the only "safe" non-printing keys left 8-). - FM +01-23-96 +* Yet more tweaks aimed at getting Lynx to compile across versions of + MultiNet through v3.5A and DECC through v5.2 or VAXC. Pat Rankin + is trying to cope with this mess for compilations with MultiNet and + his VMS port of GNUC (cross your fingers 8-). - FM +* Updates of the help and about files. - FM +* Tweak of sendmail path for BSDI. - Bennett Todd (bet@ritz.mordor.com) +01-22-96 +* More tweaks for dealing with header conflicts in MultiNet v3.5A with + DECC v5.2. - FM +* Tweak of our kludge to append a 0,0 coordinate pair for ISMAP URLs. - FM +* Tweaks of base handling in HTML.c. - FM +01-20-96 +* Mods for builds with NetBSD, or MultiNet v3.5A with DECC v5.2 (they + have conficting headers). FM & PR +01-18-96 +* Improved and corrected the fatal error messages. - FM +01-17-96 +* Added ability to set the NNTPSERVER environment variable via lynx.cfg if + it has not been set externally (analogously to the proxy variables). - FM +* Tweaks of proxy handling. - FM +* Modifed the "Accept-Language: " header handling so that is uses the + "perferred document lang(G)uage" string without any modifications. + This allows the user to specify a comma-separated string with quality + values included, exactly to his/her requirements. - FM +01-16-96 +* Modified the traversal code so that it always outputs to an error file if + requests fail or unknown statuses are received from the http server. - FM +* Added target "sun4-ncurses" to the Makefile. - Bennett E. Todd + (bet@nyc.fcmc.com) +* Tweaks of "preferred document lan(G)uage" and "preferred document c(H)arset" + 'o'ptions handling. Send only the preferrence or comma-separated list of + preferrences in the "Accept-Language: " and "Accept-Charset: " headers. + Append ", en" if "en" isn't present, and ", ISO-8859-1" and/or ", US-ASCII" + if those aren't present, rather than relying on servers to honor defaults, + but still don't send an "Accept-Charset: " header at all if no preference + has been specified by the user. - FM +* Fixed typos in the about and help files. - FM +01-15-96 +* Tweaks of bold and underline setting in split_line() of GritText.c. - FM +* Fixed handling of FORM start tags with no ACTION specified. - FM +* Tweaks of "IBM PC character set" and added "IBM PC codepage 850" + (ISO8859-1, see IBMPC-charsets.announce). - Mike Brown (mike@hyperreal.com) +* Check in userdefs.h whether LYNX_CGF_FILE has been defined via the + Makefile, build.com or descrip.mms. - PG +* Created CHANGES2-3 with changes through release of Lynx2-3 on 04-19-94, + and CHANGES2-4 with subsequent changes through the rename of lynx2-3-FM + to Lynx2-4 and its release on 06-18-95, and deleted those sections from + this file. - FM +* Added the new Copyright and links to it in about_lynx.html. - FM +01-11-96 +* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c for compatibility across versions of FreeWAIS. - FM +* Unescape any hex escaped percents in mailto URLs and ACTIONs. - FM +01-10-96 +* Added an LYCheckForProxyURL() function, and a PROXY_URL_TYPE return value + for is_url(), so that Lynx can proxy URLs with an unknown scheme if a + proxy for the scheme has been set, e.g., if "foo_proxy" has been set + to "http://host/", then "foo:blah", where "blah" may or may not begin + with a slash, will be handled as "http://host/foo:blah". Components of + "blah" will be checked versus "no_proxy", if set, but since we don't + know the default port for scheme "foo", the checks for any ports + associated with the no_proxy values may not be reliable (but if we + don't proxy, nor know the scheme, nor find "foo:blah" as a local file, + the URL would fail, anyway) - FM +* Fixed typo in VMSPrint.com. - Paul Farnham (farnham@pasco.wednet.edu) +01-06-96 +* Tweak of traversal code. - FM +01-04-96 +* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ +01-03-96 +* Added circular recall buffers for JUMP shortcuts. If multiple jumps + files are installed, each has it's own recall buffer. If Lynx was built + with PERMIT_GOTO_FROM_JUMP defined, any random URLs accessed via the JUMP + command are placed in the goto circular buffer, not that for shortcuts, + and a JUMP entry of the single character ':' for the target is treated + as a command to invoke the circular buffer of previously resolved goto + URLs (as if 'g'oto followed by Up-Arrow were used). - FM +* Added GOTOBUFFER, homologous to JUMPBUFFER, for specifying via userdefs.h + and/or lynx.cfg whether to offer the previous goto URL, if any, for + reuse or editing whenever the 'g'oto command is entered, or simply rely + on invoking the circular buffer via the Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow keys for + accessing previously resolved goto URLs. - FM +* Tweak of 'g'oto recall buffering loop in LYMainLoop.c. - AH +01-02-96 +* Added circular recall buffering for 'g'oto URLs. Is invoked (if previous + URLs have been entered) via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow after entering the + 'g'oto command. - FM +* Added circular recall buffering for WHEREIS queries. Buffer is shared with + that for ISINDEX queries, and invoked via Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow following + the WHEREIS ('/') command. The 'n'ext command still uses the last WHEREIS + query, not necessarily the last entry in the recall buffer, which might + have been entered via a 's'earch command for an ISINDEX document. - FM +* Extended treatment of FORMs which have only one INPUT (TYPE="text") field + for user entries as SUBMITting on press of RETURN in that field, so that + this behavior is retained if INPUT TYPE="hidden" fields are present. - FM +* Tweaks of bookmark deletion sanity checks. - DT +01-01-96 (Happy New Year!!!!) +* Added circular recall buffer for ISINDEX queries. Up-Arrow will cylce + you from the most current query in the list to previous ones, and roll + from the oldest to the most current. Down-Arrow will cycle from the + oldest query to subsequent ones, and roll from the most current to the + oldest. If a previous query is reused, it is removed from the recall + buffer and reinserted as the most current.- FM +* Plugged memory leaks in LYUtils.c and LYJump.c. - FM +12-30-95 +* Added LOCALHOST_ALIAS symbols for lynx.cfg which can be set to local + host aliases or to trusted hosts at other sites which will be accepted + as "local" when the -localhost switch is set. - FM +* Added the endash and emdash entities. - FM +12-29-95 +* Use exit(0) versus exit(-1) more consistently for normal versus abnormal + exits, respectively. - FM +12-26-95 +* Tweak of RELOAD handling for lynxcgi URLs. - FM +* More anti-crash protections for bad HTML. - FM +* Tweak of dynamic SOCKS mods. - TZ +12-23-95 +* Tweaks of directory building on VMS. - FM +* Tweaks of log file declarations for direct wais builds. - FM +* Tweak of DIRED_SUPPORT mods so that non-TAG entries don't show up when + there are tagged files. - DT +12-22-95 +* Added HTMake_VMS_name() to HTFTP.c for use by Unix as well as VMS with + VMS ftp servers. - FM +* Added INSERT and ALIAS to the DTD, updated PARAM and OVERLAY, and made + FIG a paragraphing block, all as described in the 12-21-95 W3C working + draft for INSERT. In contrast to FIG, the INSERT and "heritage" EMBED + and APPLET elements invoke paragraphing only if their content displayed + by Lynx dictates it. The rules for resolving the sources for INSERTs or + for handling its ISMAP attribute are extremely complicated, and are not + implemented. Let's wait to see how people in the "real world" try to + make sense of them and actually use INSERT (if they do 8-). We still + create source links in "clickable_image" mode for the "heritage" versions + of FIG, OVERLAY, EMBED and APPLET markup, and send a 0,0 cooridinate pair + for IMG with the ISMAP attribute. See comments in HTML.c - FM +12-21-95 +* Fixed bug in yesterday's ftp password-handling mods that could cause a + crash, and handle ftp://user:@host/path as specified in RFC 1738. - FM +* Added protection against crashes for SELECT tags without the (required) + NAME attribute. - FM +* Added code in HTFTP.c for recognizing MS Windows (Chameleon NEWT) servers + and parsing their LIST output (tested on ftp://emoryi.jpl.nasa.gov/) - FM +* Another typo fix for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM +* Modified HTFTP.c to use personal_mail_address, if available, for the + password with anoymous FTP. It will still use "user@" (trim off the + host) if the host does not contain a dot and thus could not be a fully + qualified domain name, so it will work with Unix servers such as + ftp.uu.net (see get_connection() in HTFTP.c), but this will cause it + to fail with MS Windows servers. - FM +* Added lots more info to the trace output for the ftp gateway. - FM +12-20-95 +* Modified HTFTP.c to handle a hex escaped slash (%2F) following the + "punctuation" slash according to the strict provisions of RFC 1738 + when connected to VMS ftp servers, so that a device can be in the + path and not be mishandled as a subdirectory, e.g., the URL + ftp://user:password@host/%2Fsys$common/syshlp + will create a directory listing for sys$common:[syshlp]. - FM +* Fixed typo for VMS GNUC in HTFinger.c. - FM +12-19-95 +* Enhancements of Unix DIRED_SUPPORT (see header of LYLocal.c). - DT +12-18-95 +* Tweaks of element and entity structure alignments. - FM +12-17-95 +* Tweaks of APPLET CODEBASE attribute resolving. - FM +* Added support for a -nosocks command line switch to turn off SOCKS proxy + usage if Lynx was SOCKSified. - Thomas Zerucha (tz@execpc.com) +12-16-95 +* Added the APPLET element and attributes to the DTD, and code for + creating links to the Applet code via image_links - FM +* Added code to handle password fields in telnet URLs. - FM +* Expanded EMBED as an "attribute soup" (for compatibility with + old versions of Netscape). - FM +12-15-95 +* Added PARAM, and its attributes in the W3C draft for EMBED, to the DTD, + and code in HTML.c to minimize the possiblity of an INPUT belonging to + an EMBED being misassociated with a standard FORM container. - FM +* Added "first pass" EMBED handling. Should be OK with both the W3C + container version and the Netscape "attribute soup" version (we'll + see 8-). The clickable_image switch and toggle ('*') are now misnomers. + They will cause creation of links to the EMBED SRCs whether they are + images or not. - FM +* Enhancements of Unix uploading (see header of LYUpload.c). - GL +12-14-95 +* Modified LYUnEscapeEntities() and LYExpandString() in HTML.c to make + it more likely that they'll be handled correctly across flavors of + compilers. - FM +* Changed NETSCAPE_QUOTES and -netscape_quotes to SOFT_DQUOTES and + -soft_dquotes. - FM +* Added '&' to the exclusion list for VMS suggested file names. - FM +12-13-95 +* Added CAN_ANONYMOUS_GOTO_TELNET_PORT symbol which if set TRUE in + userdefs.h will allow anonymous users to specify a port in 'g'oto + commands for telnet URLs. - FM +* Added NETSCAPE_QUOTES symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause + Lynx to emulate the Netscape bug of treating '>' as a co-terminator + of a double-quoted attribute value and the tag which contains it. - FM +* Forgot to define FORM_LINK_RESUBMIT_MESSAGE in the distribution's + userdefs.h for yesterday's mods. - FM +* Forgot to put the HTFile.c with the LIST_FORMAT mods into the + distribution (maybe I should just concentrate on Christmas 8-). - FM +12-12-95 +* Changed handling of the no-cache META directive so that it applies to + the document which contains the META tag, rather than to any form submit + buttons within it. The form's CGI script should return a stream which + contains the directive to force resubmissions, and any (e.g., ISINDEX) + script or (e.g., foo.shtml) document can include the directive to + force reloading by Lynx. - FM +* Added ALWAYS_RESUBMIT_FORMS symbol in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for setting + forced resubmissions of forms, and a -resubmit_forms command line switch + for toggling the default. - FM +12-11-95 +* Moved values of LYStrings.h function key definitions from 0x80 - 0x8D to + 0x100 - 0x10D and modified all the structures and functions in LYKeymap.c + and LYEditmap.c accordingly. - FM +* Added the KOI8-R (Russian) character set. - Andrey A. Chernov + (ache@astral.msk.su). +* Replace gets() with fgets() for the Unix setup() in LYCurses.c - AAC +* Tweaks for building with FreeBSD. - AAC & FM +* Added handling of META directives for ISO-8859-2 and KOI8-R if the + document is text/html and a server header didn't already set the + charset. - AAC & FM +12-10-95 +* Tweaks of memory management. - FM +* Made the LONG_LIST parameters for Unix local directory listings + configurable via userdefs.h and lynx.cfg - DT +12-09-95 +* Added code for re-computing and retaining the current link if it is still + on the page when using the LYK_UP_TWO and LYK_DOWN_TWO commands. - FM +* Added support for nested emphasis tags (they're all still displayed as + HT_UNDERLINE, but no longer terminated prematurely). - FM +12-08-95 +* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM +* Tweak of META attribute definitions. - FM +12-06-95 +* Don't reject LYNXKEYMAP and lynxcgi URLs with the -localhost switch. - FM +12-05-95 +* Made the loaded_texts list in GridText.c functionally "circular", so + that returning to a cached document causes it to be treated as the most + current, and dumps of cache, when necessary to load a new document, are + done for the least recently viewed rather than least recently fetched + document. - FM +* Show the METHOD and ACTION in showinfo() of LYShowInfo.c if invoked when + the cursor is positioned on a submit button. - FM +* If the user mode is advanced, keep showing the URL in the statusline + when Lynx is in forms mode but the link is not a form field. - FM +12-03-95 +* Tweaks of code for submissions of forms with only a single INPUT + (TYPE="text") field. - FM +12-02-95 +* Treat any META directives with a NAME or HTTP-EQUIV value of "Pragma" + or "Cache-Control" and a CONTROL value of "no-cache" as an instruction + always to resubmit any form(s) in the document. - FM +* Added parsing of META directives. Functions can be added where indicated + in HTML.c. - FM +* Include the HTTP/1.1 "Cache-Control: no-cache" header together with the + HTTP/1.0 "Pragma: no-cache" header for reload or resubmit requests. - FM +* Fixed bug in the check for an all-space ALT in IMG when creating a + link for its SRC. - FM +* Fixed parsing of square-bracketted DOCTYPE fields. - FM +12-01-95 +* Improvments of logic for indentations within lists. - FM +11-30-95 +* For resiliency, treat upper case letters as equivalent to lower case in + scheme names (e.g., allow "HTTP" as well as "http"), by converting them + to the appropriate case before entering them into the anchor hash table + or otherwise acting on them. - FM +* Added ability to change the default reply to the "really quit" prompt + from "[Y]" to "[N]" via a compilation symbol in userdefs.h. - DT +11-29-95 +* Added ALIGN attribute for HR (default is "center"). - FM +11-28-95 +* If a form has a single field, and it's INPUT TYPE="text", treat + RETURN as a submit command for it. - FM +* Added START as a synonym for the SEQNUM attribute in OL. - FM +11-27-95 +* Enhancements of the wais gateway. - FM +11-26-95 +* Fixed up HREF, ACTION and SRC resolving to be conformant with RFC 1808 + (except that we don't yet support a ";params" field). - FM +11-25-95 +* Tweaks of yesterday's jumps file mods. - FM +11-24-95 +* Enhancements of 'J'umps file handling, including ability to install + multiple jumps files mapped to different keys and associated with + different statusline prompts and recall buffers. - DT & FM +* Deal with ALTs that have only spaces when in clickable_image mode. - FM +* Worked in WM's mods to make the REVERSE_CLEAR_SCREEN_PROBLEM workaround + a configuration option via ENABLE_SCROLLBACK in lynx.cfg and a command + line toggle (-enable_scrollback), for use with comm programs which have + screen display buffers that can be accessed for review independently + of the Lynx commands (see comments in lynx.cfg). - FM +11-23-95 +* Use the BASE, if present, instead of the original document URL, as the + default ACTION for forms. - FM +* Tweaks of paragraph alignment handling. - FM +* Make sure we don't realloc() a NULL env pointer in LYCgi.c. - DT +* Cancel bookmark deletion if the line does not have a complete link or if + there is more than one link on the line. - DT +11-21-95 +* Fixed bad logic in the setting of bold and/or underline starting points + in new lines created via split_line() of GridText.c. - FM +* Added case KEY_BACKSPACE in LYgetch() of LYStrings.c. - GL +11-19-95 +* Fixed problem of SELECT causing all immediately following white space + to be ignored. - FM +* More tweaks of paragraphing, and handling of labeled blocks within + PRE blocks. - FM +11-18-95 +* Added INFOSECS, MESSAGESECS and ALERTSECS symbols in userdefs.h and + lynx.cfg for setting the durations of statusline pauses (important when + using Lynx with a braille-based access). See comments in userdefs.h and + lynx.cfg for more information. - FM +* More tweaks of paragraph handling. - FM +* Include the Reference lists is crawl output files if the -number_links + switch was included and the -nolist switch wasn't. - FM +11-17-95 +* Tweaks of finger and telnet gateways. - FM +* Added handling of MARQUEE equivalently to BANNER. - FM +* Various tweaks of 8-bit character and related HTML handling (OLs + or ULs without attributes or some wrong combinations were crashing + Lynx). - FM +11-16-95 +* Implemented the ID attribute for TAB, and the TO and INDENT attributes + when its ALIGN attribute is "left" (the default) and the style's + alignment is HT_LEFT (the default). If these conditions don't apply, + or if the TAB target is outside the current margins or would overlap + prior text, a collapsible space is inserted instead of TABing. The + INDENT values are in "en" units, treated as 12 per column. Added + tabtest.html in the test subdirectory to illustrate TABing. - FM +11-15-95 +* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for SPOT, and fully + implemented it (use SPOT ID="foo" as SGML_EMPTY instead of named anchors + with no content). - FM +* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for TAB. For now, it + simply puts a collapsible space in the text stream if the TO attribute + is present. - FM +* Added the top-level HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for MATH, and + implemented it's ID attribute. The markup is captured as HTML_LITTERAL, + and until we have a processor, is output as is, in brackets to alert the + user about the situation. - FM +11-14-95 +* Tweaks of LYK_UP_LINK and LYK_DOWN_LINK handling, and added them to the + default mapping as '<' and '>'. - FM +* Tweaks of LYK_TOOLBAR handling. - FM +11-13-95 +* Added LYK_TOOLBAR (mapped by default to '#') for jumping up to the pseudo + Toolbar or Banner if present in the current document. Using '#' instead + of Home to jump there allows you to Left-Arrow back to where you were in + the current document. Set up a BANNER in about_lynx-dev.html to serve + as an example of this feature. - FM +* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for BANNER, implemented + its ID attribute, and set it up to act as a pseudo Toolbar if one hasn't + been set up already via REL attributes of LINKs. - FM +* Tweaks of paragraphing for CAPTION, CREDIT, FOOTNOTE, and NOTE. - FM +11-12-95 +* Handle (i.e., ignore) any P that immediately follows an LI, DT or DD. - FM +* Cancel any file fetch and viewer spawn or launch during traverals. - FM +11-11-95 +* Added finger gateway (finger://host[/request]) based on patches from + Martin Hamilton (martin@mrrl.lut.ac.uk). - FM +* Added LYE_TAB for mapping keys to act as LYE_ENTER, but return '\t' so + that the behavior of TAB is emulated in TEXTAREAs, and mapped Do to + LYE_TAB in the default binding. - FM +* Fixed glitch in handling of DEC extended characters which contain two + digits (affected Do and Find). - FM +* Better documented that disabling access to hidden (dot) files also + disables ability to create such files via Lynx. - FM +11-10-95 +* Added handling of mailto as a form ACTION. See http://www.q-d.com/swc.htm + for software to extract and unescape the mailed content. - FM +* Added lynxprog URL handling, which is identical to lynxexec URL handling + except that the user is not prompted to enter RETURN before returning + to Lynx. Use lynxprog for scripts or programs such as mail which do not + need an enforced pause to let the user read the screen output. - FM +* Removed code in HTFile.c for treating ',' as a synomym of '.' for + hidden files (nobody seems to know why that was being done 8-). - FM +* Moved inclusions from LYBookmark to tcp.h. - FM +11-08-95 +* Extend optional hidden (dot) file/directory support to Unix, and embellished + it on VMS and Unix with regulation via a command line switch and 'o'ptions + menu setting. See userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - GL & FM +* Added support on Unix for straight tar files and a compile time option that + disables the ability to extract files from an archive file (since there is + no control over the files extracted). - GL +11-07-95 +* More tweaks of 8-bit character handling. - FM +* Added "Macintosh (8 bit)" character set. - Neil K. Guy + (nkg@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca) +* Added "Example Lynx Optimized User Home Page" to the online 'h'elp. - FM +11-05-95 +* Fixed Cc: header handling for email on Unix. - FM +11-04-95 +* Reference the current character set for any raw 8-bit characters in + text/plain streams (but don't translate named or decimal escaped + entities, since that's specific for text/html). - FM +* Block any illegal control or escape characters in text/plain streams, + to avoid problems if a binary ftp or local file was mistyped and sent + to the screen as that Content-type. - FM +* Eliminated mod in SGML.c which emulated Netscape's bug of treating '>' + as both a close-double-quote and close-tag (Netscape v2.0 fixed its + bug, so hopefully the bad HTML with it will go away. 8-). - FM +11-02-95 +* Assume an ISO-8859-1 character set for all local files. If it's + actually ISO-8859-2 and the terminal is using that, set the Lynx + CharSet option to "ISO Latin 1" so that 8-bit characters will be + sent raw to the terminal. - FM +* Added Martin Ramsch's iso8859-1.html to the test subdirectory. + Use it to complete the conversion tables in LYCharSets.c. - FM +* Don't block insertion of a lead space for INPUTs in PRE blocks, so + alignments will be compatible with those of graphic clients. - FM +* Don't block all access to the 'p'rint menu for the print restriction + (should still offer printer options which have the TRUE flag set; + all access is still blocked for -validate). - FM +* Replaced the STDfoo_FILENO symbols in LYCgi.c with the more portable + fileno(stdfoo). - WM +* Added NCURSESINCDIR compilation symbol for setting the path to the + NCURSES header file in LYCurses.h to that of the latest version. - GL +* Tweaks of interrupt handling on VMS. +10-31-95 +* Added more suffix maps in HTInit.c. - FM +* Mods in LYCgi.c which hopefully makes the code more portable across + Unix flavors. - FM +10-28-95 +* Tweaks of global flag initializations and resets in HTML.c. - FM +* Added RESOLVLIB symbol in the top Makefile for including -lresolv + in the LIBS= list, if needed, for SUN 3 or 4 OS, and comments about + that in the Makefile, and INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS files based on an + explanation from Will Mengarini (seldon@eskimo.com). - FM +10-27-95 +* Mods of top level Makefile: Added NOPORT compilation symbol for forcing + use of PASV in ftp URLs. Added NO_S_IFSOCK compilation symbol for Unix + flavors which lack an S_IFSOCK definition for lstat(). - FM +* Reload the current document whenever the character set is changed. - FM +* Don't reference entities for raw (or decimal escaped) 8-bit characters + if the document is not text/html, or for any local files if the charset + is Latin. - FM +* Made Ctrl-H a synonym for DELETE instead of Left-Arrow in the line + editor. - FM +10-25-95 +* Handle all characters in strings for the new line editor as unsigned + so they don't go negative if 8-bit. - DW +* Restored proper handling of the MAXLENGTH attribute in INPUTs for + strings entered with the new line editor. - FM +10-24-95 +* Deal with all non-printing characters when setting up the SELECT + pop-up window strings. - FM +* Handle raw 8-bit characters via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named + entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected + character set. - FM +* Yet more tweaks of non-breaking space handling. - FM +10-22-95 +* Improved treatment of the startpage URL with -traversal so that it only + blocks traversals of links on other servers. Any links on the same + http server which shouldn't be traversed may be blocked via explicit + and/or wildcarded entries in REJECT.DAT. Updated CRAWL.announce to + make this more clear. - FM +* Typo fixes in top-level Makefile. - Steve Jeske (jeske@pa.dec.com) +10-21-95 +* Handle decimal escaped entities via reference to the ISO-LATIN1 named + entities so they in turn can be referenced to the currently selected + character set. - FM +10-20-95 +* Tweaks of formatting for LONG_LIST directory lists and README file + inclusions in HTFile.c and HTVMSUtils.c. - FM +* Tweaks of decimal escaped non-breaking space handling in HTML.c. - FM +* Force unescaping of hidden VALUEs for INPUTs as ISO-LATIN1. - FM +* Added ".shtml" and ".htmlx" as text/html extensions in HTInit.c. - FM +10-18-95 +* Made parsing of the name and address out of the NNTP From: header more + reliable in HTNews.c. - FM +* Added "LYNX_TEMP_SPACE" environment variable (Unix) or VMS logical, + which if present at run time will be used instead of the the TEMP_SPACE + definition in userdefs.h as the path prefix for temporary files. - FM +10-17-95 +* Added TYPE attritute for OL, and coordinated it with the SEQNUM and + CONTINUE attributes. The default TYPE is "1" (Arabic numbers), and + SEQNUM values for it can range from -29997 to the system's maximum + integer. The Alphabetic TYPEs are "A" (upper case) and "a" (lower + case), and can range from 1 (" A." or " a.") to 18278 ("ZZZ." or + "zzz."). The Roman TYPES are "I" (upper case) and "i" (lower case), + and can range from 1 (" I." or " i.") to 3000 ("MMM." or "mmm."). + SEQNUM values should always be Arabic, and will be converted to + other types (e.g., SEQNUM="27" TYPE="a" will yield "aa." for the + next LI). The CONTINUE attribute will cause the sequence and TYPE + of the preceding OL to be continued for LIs in the current OL. - FM +10-16-95 +* Treat a value of "*" for "no_proxy" as a global override of any + existing proxy variables. - FM +10-15-95 +* Deal with raw or decimal escaped non-breaking space characters in + SGML_character() of SGML.c and LYUnEscapeEntities() of HTML.c. - FM +10-14-95 +* Updated info about lynx-dev in lynx.man and lynx.hlp. - FM +* Don't force LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED in dumps if -nolist was included. - FM +* Output the References list for dumps with OL-style numbering. - FM +* More tweaks of "anti-spoof" handling for telnet URLs. - FM +10-13-95 +* Block direct access to the telnet prompt for telnet URLs entered without + a host field. - FM +* Include the TRUSTED flag in spawns for OpenVMS/AXP v6.1 or greater. - FM +10-12-95 +* Convert any strings in news articles that look like URLs into links. - FM +* Use the Followup header in news articles, if present, for followups. + Otherwise, use the Newsgroups header. - FM +* Ignore any invalid ISO 646 7-bit control characters or ISO 8859 8-bit + control characters in SGML_character() of SGML.c. - FM +10-11-95 +* Typo fix in HTTCP.c for non-MULTINET VMS builds. - Gary Chow (garyc@mrs.com) +10-09-95 +* Assume the root as path in HTParse() of HTParse.c if the access and host + but no path are given, and the access is http, https, or ftp. - FM +10-05-95 +* Make sure the FREE(x) macro gets defined for HTTCP.c. - FM +10-04-95 +* Mods in HTTCP.c to prevent string buffer overruns. - FM +* Prevent possible string buffer underrun for terminal white space trims + in GridText.c. - Renato Buda (renato@peoplebank.co.uk) +10-01-95 +* Updated the listserv and archive addresses in the about and help files. - FM +09-30-95 +* Added support for Windows_NT FTP servers. - FM +* Added ability to send a self copy of mail via a Cc: header on Unix + (sending of self copies is set via the mail software itself on VMS). - FM +* Tweaks of SOCKET_ERRNO handling in HTTCP.C. - FM +* Include unistd.h more consistently on Unix (via tcp.h) if NO_UNISTD_H + is not defined. - FM +* Modified the FreeBSD and NetBSD libwww Makefiles to use the + CommonMakefile. - FM +* Makefile addition (snake3) for the HP-UX purchased compiler. - Andy + Finkenstadt (genie@panix.com) +09-29-95 +* Deal with HTAlert.c function calls to LYgetstr(), e.g., for a password, + when doing a -dump or -source non-interactive fetch. - FM +* Output HTAlert() messages to both stderr and stdout in TRACE mode. - FM +09-28-95 +* Added a description of the line editor's default key bindings to the + help file set. - FM +* Tweaks of the line editor. - FM +* Declare DCLspawn_exception() in LYCurses.c as unsigned int only for + DECC (otherwise as int, for VAXC and GNUC). - FM +09-27-95 +* Added common line editor for forms and prompted queries, with configurable + line editor key bindings. See LYStrings.h and LYEditmap.c for the default + configuration. - DW & FM +* Tweaks of build.com's symbol assignments when in batch mode. - MM +09-22-95 +* Added ISO-8859-2 CharSet, and mods for Accept-Charsets handling based + on patches from Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si). - FM +09-19-95 +* Tweaks of OL attribute handling. Allow negative SEQNUM values. Keep + better track of CONTINUE versus non-CONTINUE OL sequences within nests. + Allow CONTINUE in the first OL of a new nest, set to the last LI count + of the previous nest (at any depth in that previous nest). - FM +09-17-95 +* Tweak of LYUnEscapeEntities() in HTML.c. - DW & FM +* Another tweak of groupid handling in LYShowInfo.c. - DW +* More fixes of 7-bit character approximations. - DW +* More help and about file tweaks. - DSL +09-16-95 +* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for DIV, and implemented + its ALIGN and ID attributes. I think I have it behaving rationally if it + is used together with CENTER, LEFT and/or RIGHT (Though they're all treated + as DIVs by Lynx, and shouldn't be embedded in each other, somebody will do + that anyway!. 8-). - FM +* Added the HTML 3.0 DTD structures and definitions for FN (Footnote). It + should be handled as a popup window, but for now, it's implemented as a + labelled block and has the same style and behavior as a NOTE with an ID + attribute. - FM +* Some compilers can't handle the continuation line in yesterday's + LYCurses.h. Made it one long line. - FM +09-16-95 +* Further enhanced the online help and about files. - FM +* Added -DNO_FILIO_H to Makefile for SCO. - FM +* Worked in stuff from 14-Sep-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. - FM: +-------------------------------------------------------- + 09-06-95 + * Added patch to compile Lynx on BSDI with Ncurses package. -RK + 09-06-95 + * Ported Lynx to DG-UX. - RK +-------------------------------------------------------- +09-12-95 +* Further modified HTNews.c so that it returns unmodified news messages + when the display is toggled to source ('\') or when downloading them, + so uuencoded messages always can be saved without corruption, and so + I also changed the SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS compilation default to + TRUE. - FM +* Simplified a compound if() in HTParse.c which may have been giving the + AIX v4.1 compiler a headache. - FM +09-11-95 +* Eliminated distinct style sheets for CAPTION and CREDIT so their content + will inherit the current style, and added HTML_EnsureDoubleSpace() and + HTML_ResetParagraphAlignment() in HTML.c for coping with the absence of + distinct style sheets for those elements, and for FIG. +09-10-95 +* Added SCAN_FOR_BURIED_NEWS_REFS configuration symbol in lynx.cfg, with + a compilation default of FALSE, and a -buried_news switch for toggling + the default. When TRUE, Lynx scans the bodies of news articles for + references and converts them to news links, but creates false news + links if any email addresses are enclosed in angle brackets, and can + trash uuencoded messages. - FM +* Eliminated distinct style sheet for FIG so its content will inherit the + current style and display appropriately within lists. Should be OK if + people use valid HTML 3.0 in it's content for non-graphic clients. - FM +* Added links for the W3C HTML 2.0 and 3.0 specifications and for the + HAL HTML validation service to the Lynx help file set. +* Made the BOLD_NAME_ANCHORS compilation symbols FALSE by default. Most + documents now include emphasis tags for NAME (ID) anchors if it's desired, + because the most common graphic clients don't emphasize them by default, + so we should adjust to that in Lynx as well (IMHO 8-). Added emphasis + tags for the NAME anchors in the Lynx help files. - FM +* Eliminated forced uppercasing of H1 headers. Most documents have mixed + casing and we should preserve it (IMHO 8-). Added a BOLD_H1 configuration + symbol, set FALSE by default, for making H1 headers bold even if BOLD_HEADERS + is FALSE. Modify the two configuration symbols in lynx.cfg for the pattern + or header emphasis which pleases you. - FM +* Tweak of list paragraphing. Added HText_PeviousLineSize() in GridText.c + for determining if the previous line had only non-printing characters. - FM +09-09-95 +* Impelemented true paragraphing and the P ALIGN attribute within lists (UL, + OL and DL blocks) and within ADDRESS blocks. Paragraphs within lists have + one blank line inserted. Within ADDRESS blocks, a newline will be created + if needed, but no blank lines are inserted. Use BR, not P, to force extra + newlines within blocks. Do not place a P immediately following the LI or + DD tags. Alignments of P blocks are done with respect to the "second line" + margins of LI or DD elements. - FM +09-08-95 +* Convert '~' to getenv("HOME") in file URLs whether or not DIRED_SUPPORT + is defined. - FM +* Tweak of TR and more tweaks of HR handling. Added HText_LastLineSize() + and HText_TrueLineSize() functions in GridText.c for determining if + lines have only non-printing characters in decisions on whether to + insert additional newlines. - FM +09-07-95 +* Act on Page-Up, Page-Down, Home, End, Find and Select in the form_getstr() + editor (hoping they have their default mappings 8-). Also act on Remove + and Control-D as delete keys in that line editor (as in the LYgetstr() + line editor). - FM +* Tweak of HR handling. - FM +* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary printer files. - FM +* More fixes for NeXT. Temporary files for VIEWER, DOWNLOADER or PRINTER + commands on NeXT all have the ".html" default suffix replaced with ones + indicative of the Content-type. - FM +09-06-95 +* Mods to prevent creating multiple copies of temporary viewer or downloader + files. - FM +* Fixes for NeXT. - FM +09-05-95 +* Enabled the -help switch when no configuration file is available and + Lynx would otherwise exit (i.e., it now outputs the help message before + it exits). - FM +* Documented the -child switch. - FM +* Fixed and documented the -nolog switch. - FM +* Changed the -linknums switch to -number_links, fixed the code to work, + and documented the switch. - FM +* Made handling of escaped colons (\:) in VIEWER commands reliable. - FM +09-04-95 +* Implemented the PLAIN attribute for UL, and the SEQNUM and CONTINUE + attributes for OL. - FM +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for DD, DL, DT, LI, OL and UL + to HTML 3.0, added LH, and implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for those, + and B, BLINK, BR, CENTER, CITE, CODE, DFN, DIR, EM, FORM, KBD, I, LEFT, + LISTING, MENU, PLAINTEXT, PRE, RIGHT, SAMP, STRONG, TT, U, VAR and XMP + (some of which are obsoleted in HTML 3.0, but what the heck 8-). - FM +09-03-95 +* Made bolding of NAME (ID) anchor contents configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM +09-02-95 +* Tweaks of FIG and OVERLAY handling: Only put up [FIGURE] (and +[OVERLAY]) + links if clickable_images is set. Assume P ALIGN="left" if contained + text does not begin with an explicit tag that sets an alignment. - FM +* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for IMG. - FM +* Tweaks for FreeBSD. - Masafumi NAKANE (t94303mn@sfc.keio.ac.jp) +08-31-95 +* Added support for using a TITLE attribute as the subject in anchors with a + mailto HREF (A HREF="mailto:address" TITLE="RE: subject"). - FM +08-30-95 +* Implemented full HTML 3.0 ID handling for A, ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE, BQ, + CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, H1 - H6, HR, INPUT, NOTE, OPTION, P, SELECT, TABLE, + TD, TEXTAREA, TH and TR. - FM +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for ADDRESS to HTML 3.0. - FM +* Block insertion of any escape sequence characters or substitutes when + editing form INPUTs or TEXTAREAs. - FM +08-29-95 +* Tweak of ALIGN attribute handling in paragraphs. - FM +* Protect against hanging on escape sequences if received (illegally) in + documents typed as text/plain or text/html. - FM +08-28-95 +* Declared DCLspawn_exception() as an unsigned int to keep DECC happy. - FM +08-27-95 +* Give LYUpload() a return value (because LYLocal.c has been testing for + one all these years 8-). - FM +* Force reload on return from 'o'ptions menu if HTfileSortMethod or + keypad_mode are changed. - FM +* Force no cache of keymap display whenever vi_keys or emacs_keys are + changed. - FM +* Added Remove and Control-D as Delete synonyms for removing characters to + the left of the cursor in the LYgetstr() line editor, and Control-F as + Right-arrow synonym for moving the cursor to the right. - FM +08-24-95 +* Modified prompted string editing via LYgetstr() along lines in patch + from PM (editing of form INPUT and TEXTAREA strings is unchanged). + Here's how the prompted string editing works: Left-arrow and Backspace + (Control-H) move the cursor to the left, and Right-arrow to the right, + within the string. Characters are INSERTed at the cursor position. + Delete removes characters to the left of the cursor. Home, Find and + Control-A move the cursor to the beginning of the string. End, Select + and Control-E move the cursor to the end. Control-U erases the string. + Control-G cancels at any time. Return accepts if a string is present, + or cancels if it was fully erased or never entered. A right-curley + brace appears in the right-most column when the string has segment(s) + scrolled off screen, and if left scrolled, the cursor sits on it for + further editing with the above command keys (or acceptance via Return). + Long strings scroll both left and right between the prompt string and + right-curley brace. Had to modify 17 files to make this line editor + crash safe (I hope people like it! 8-). - FM +08-22-95 +* Use a macro in parse_arg() of LYMain.c to ensure proper handling of + switches which take a value and might have a space instead of an '=' + between the name and value. - DW +* Insulate any system RTL's getline() from the one in HTInit.c. - DW +* Enabled editing of titles when adding bookmarks. - FM +08-21-95 +* Fixed the IBM PC character set in LYCharSets.c (Note: The PC-set has the + currency symbol but it is a control character - ^O - so there is a chance + that curses or the user's terminal may discard it. Did not fix the + Icelandic characters). - DW +* Check whether getpwuid() and getgrid() have returned NULL pointers in + LYShowInfo.c. - DW +* Break up the too elaborate, compound assignment statements in LYList.c + so no compilers get tripped up by evaluation order effects. - DW +* Worked in mods from DW to cope with CR, CRLF or LF all as EOL in HTML.c + and GridText.c (not sure if they take into account all of the consequences + of Lou's "big cheat" in GridText.c, but they appear to, so far). - FM +* Explicitly preserve the Lynx bookmark file mode on Unix. - DSL +08-20-95 +* More documentation and help updates. - FM +08-19-95 +* Updated INSTALLATION and comments in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg. - FM +* If save to disk was done via the download menu, and a VMS rename() attempt + succeeded so we don't spawn a COPY, we no longer can access the file via + the download menu, so pop in that situation. - FM +* Worked in stuff from 16-Aug-95 lynx2-4-2 upgrade. Most had already been + added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM: +--------------------------------------------------- + 08-16-95 + * Applied patch from Peter van Heusden (pch@ucthpx.uct.ac.za) to fix + a bug when lynx encounters an OPTION tag before the style is + ever updated. - CL + 08-09-95 + * Added some tweaks to Makefile and LYCurses.h to get lynx to properly + compile on ISC. Thanks to Robert Salter (salter1@master.nsbf.nasa.gov). +--------------------------------------------------- +08-18-95 +* Added a -validate switch for turning off everything except http URLs, + helpfiles, and secure menus in Lynx. Can be used with -dump in CGI + scripts, but is intended for use with anonymous telnet logins. In the + latter case, the user can start with his/her server's or userdir homepage, + and validate everything, while able to manipulate the display features + (e.g., whether or not links are numbered) and turn on trace (Control-T, + then Control-R to reload) when a "Bad HTML" document is encountered. The + telnet approach is particularly useful when used with the 'l'ist feature. + When used with -dump, compare it with versus without -nolist. - FM +* Added a missing curley brace in EF's (08-16-95) patches. - FM +08-17-95 +* Added HISTORICAL_COMMENTS symbol which if set TRUE in lynx.cfg will cause + Lynx to revert to the "historical" behavior of treating any '>' as a + comment terminator instead of (a valid) '-->', and a -historical switch + for toggling the default behavior. - FM +* Added a -nolist switch for turning off the link list feature in dumps. - FM +* Modified SGML.c so that it still substitutes the expected end tag if a + different one is encountered (e.g, due to a document having interdigitated + instead of validly embedded tags), but doesn't do a wind down of the + element stack. This gives it a better chance of recovering from bad + HTML, and the sanity checks I've added thus far in HTML.c appear to still + be adequate for avoiding crashes (we'll see 8-). - FM +08-16-95 +* Mods to support within-document anchors in documents returned via + lynxcgi scripts. - FM +* Worked in EF's patches to handle changes of keymaps under DIRED_SUPPORT + with OK_OVERRIDE, and to give the user some feedback during an Install + command. - FM +08-15-95 +* Don't include a Referer header for 'g'oto URLs. - FM +* Added patches from PR for compilations with VMS port of GNUC: Modified + several prototypes to avoid GNUC warnings about conflicts with ones in + lib$routines.h, and added code in HTVMS_WaisUI.c to deal with an obscure + glitch for GNUC v2.6.[123] and v2.7.0 (not present in v2.6.0 or earlier, + and fixed in v2.7.1). - FM +* Worked in code from PR as LYVMS_FixedLengthRecords() in HTFWriter.c to + change attributes of binary files on VMS from Stream_LF to FIXED 512, + no implied carriage control, best try contiguous. Replaces the spawn + to execute FIXED512.COM. - FM +08-14-95 +* Modified TEXTAREA handling to succeed or fail on bad HTML equivalently + to Netscape. - FM +08-12-95 +* Mods to avoid crashes and to do something reasonable with OPTION strings + that are wider than the available popup window width. Truncation is + indicated by omission of a terminating ']' in the window link, and the + window, when popped up, is made equal to the screen width (but we can't + wrap the strings within the window, so they're truncated if they still + don't fit). - FM +* Mods to handle INPUT fields that are packaged in PRE and would extend past + the wrap column. No way to make that perfect without a major redesign, + but it's better now. - FM +08-10-95 +* Handle 'g'oto entries equivalently to STARTFILE and HOMEPAGE, i.e., if + the user's entry isn't a URL, convert it to a file URL if it's a file + or directory on the local system, otherwise convert it to an http URL. + For example, "~/" will be converted to a file URL for listing the HOME + directory (on both Unix and VMS), and "www.netscape.com" will become + "http://www.netscape.com". - FM +* Fix LYCurses.h to deal with definitions of TRUE and FALSE in cursesX.h + on ultrix. - Brian Exelbierd (bex@ncsu.edu) +* Made SYSTEM_MAIL, and MAIL_ADRS on VMS, configurable in lynx.cfg. - FM +08-08-95 +* Fixed two initialization problems that could account for reports of + inappropriate HEAD requests in pops of cached documents. - FM +* More tweaks for coping with bad HTML. - FM +* Fixed bug in code for bypassing bad SUFFIX: or VIEWER: entries. - FM +08-06-95 +* Added code in GridText.c to deal with syntactically OK but symantically + nonsensical uses of ALT="" in IMG tags (i.e., when the IMG is structured + to provide the anchor for a link, and so the anchor ends up with nothing + but nonprinting characters for bolding), and removed the forcing of an + "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT in HTML.c. The show_anchor element in TextAnchor + structures is now set to NO whenever an anchor does not have any + printing characters. - FM +* Modified HTML.c to issue only one "Bad HTML" statusline message per + document (unless it's one of those unbelievably bad CGI script outputs + that are functionally multiple, concatenated documents 8-), and similarly + for "Table in Form" and "Form in Table" informational messages. - FM +* Don't bother prompting whether to send a HEAD request for the current + document if there are no links on the page (but still prompt if the user + makes a HEAD request when positioned on an inappropriate form link). - FM +08-05-95 +* Added code in SGML.c for storing Identfiers (e.g., !DOCTYPE) and Comments + (i.e., tags beginning with !--) and for reporting them in trace mode. + Serves as a model for actually using them someday (i.e, functions for + analyzing them could be called where we presently just invoke a trace + output to stderr). - FM +08-03-95 +* Modified SGML.c to handle comments as in the current specs, and put + Paul Gilmartin's (pg@sweng.stortek.com) TestComment.html in the + test subdirectory. - FM +* Added binary extensions in HTInit.c that were giving people problems + on FTP servers. - FM +08-02-95 +* Added explicit check for CMU in telnet support with SOCKETSHR-built + images. - SB +* Added -link switch for setting the count in lnk#.dat files with -crawl + (needed if you interrupt a traversal and want to pick up again where + you left off). - DM +* More tweaks of -traversal code and Makefile. All known bugs appear to + have been dealt with at this point. Updated lynx.man, lynx.hlp and + help files to include the -traversal and -crawl switches. - FM +08-01-95 +* Changed the SEQUENT compilation sympbol to PTX2 and added a ptx2 procedure + to the Makefile for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx v2, because more current + versions reportedly have solved the problems which the conditional + compilation attempted to address. - FM +* Force in the "[ISMAP]" pseudo-ALT if someone uses ALT="" for an IMG tag + that has ISMAP specified. - FM +* Tweaks of the -traversal code (still experimental). - DM & FM +07-31-95 +* Worked in code from David Mathog (mathog@seqaxp.bio.caltech.edu) for + implementing the TRAVERSAL function from old versions of Lynx, but via + a command line switch (-traversal) instead of in a separately compiled + executable, and for a CRAWL function, invoked via a command line switch + (-crawl), which allows Lynx to be used as the front end for a Web Crawler. + See CRAWL.announce for more information. - FM +* More tweaks of LYCurses.c and LYCgi.c for GNUC on VMS. - SB +* More tweaks of src/Makefile. - DSL +07-30-95 +* Tweaks of yesterday's Makefile and descrip.mms files. - FM +07-29-95 +* Tweak in HTFTP.c to ensure that Lynx doesn't sit around waiting for an + FTP server's good-bye message if the server closes the connection itself + and doesn't send one. - FM +* Added GNUC support to the VMS descrip.mms files. - FM +* Tweaks of HTWAIS.c socket handling on VMS (I can't reproduce a reported + problem with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB, but these tweaks might help). - FM +* Added my guesses at code for HTTelnet.c to implement telnet, tn3270 and + rlogin support, if available, when building with SOCKETSHR/NetLIB on + VMS. - FM +07-28-95 +* Mods for Sequent Symmetry DYNIX/ptx - Mark Kolmar (mkolmar@ccs.nslsilus.org) +* Added GL's lynxcgi patches posted to lynx-dev, plus some tweaks. - FM +* Worked in GL's lynxcgi mods as in Lynx2-4-2: + -------------------------------------------- + Added George Lindholm's LYNXCGI feature. This allows lynx to bypass + http daemons to run local CGI scripts using a URL of the form + "lynxcgi:/path/cgi-script". To implement in Lynx, LYNXCGI_LINKS + must be uncommented in userdefs.h and TRUSTED_LYNXCGI must be fixed + in lynx.cfg. It doesn't handle redirection or mime-types and + scripts should probably generate partial URLs when referring back to + itself.

Should now compile and link + automatically for GNUC via build.com, but that needs testing. - FM +* Reorganized VMS option files into ones for the transport and ones for the + compiler, with corresponding updates of the .com and .mms files. - FM +* Tweaks of mods for GNUC on VMS, based on further discussions with + SB. - FM +* Tweaks of -help output. - Daniel S. Lewart (d-lewart@uiuc.edu) +07-25-95 +* Ugh!! Blew it for Unix when setting up the GLOBALDEF/GLOBALREF definitions + in tcp.h for VAXC vs. DECC vs. GNUC on VMS this morning (I'm a night + person 8-). - FM +* Worked in code for compiling with the VMS port of GNUC, based on patches + from Sterling Bjorndahl (bjorndahl@augustana.ab.ca) and advice from + Pat Rankin (rankin@eql.caltech.edu). Needs testing, and the linking + procedure still needs to be addressed explicitly. - FM +* Prevent possibility of a null pointer dereference if an ISMAP anchor + fetch fails. - David Trueman (david@cs.dal.ca) +07-21-95 +* Added LYK_HEAD (mapped by default to ']') to send HEAD requests for the + current document or link (always sent with LYforce_no_cache). - FM +* More lynx.man, lynx.hlp, help file and documentation updates. - FM +07-19-95 +* Put back "-mime_headers" with mods like those in lynx2-4-2, i.e., so that + a source dump is forced. Both "-mine_headers" and "-head" show the status + line as well as the MIME headers. - FM +* Modified "-error_file" to show the complete status line, as well as the + URL and METHOD, and to concatenate entries instead of creating separate + files for each request. - FM +* Updated the lynx.man, lynx.hlp and lynx_help files. - FM +07-18-95 +* Changed "-mime_headers" to "-head" and implemented it as a HEAD request + for fetching the MIME headers as text/plain. - FM +07-17-95 +* Removed 00DIFFERENT from this distribution. - FM +* Made use of _underline_ format in dumps optional via SUBSTITUTE_UNDERSCORES + definitions in userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and added a "-underscore" + command line switch for toggling the default on or off. - FM +* Use system("exec $SHELL") for spawning the default shell on Unix. - Paul + Gilmartin (pg@sweng.stortek.com) +* Fixed typo in check for news vs. nntp URLs in HTNews.c. - Wilson Cheung + (wcheung@netcom.com) +* Added code to the VMS setup() for dealing with curses conficts if someone + used -post_data or -get_data without specifying -dump under conditions + which require it, so it's not forced in LYMain.c as on Unix. If fact, + -get_data and -post_data are very useful in interactive invokations. - FM +* Fixed memory leak in the -post_data and -get_data handling. - FM +* Added LYNX_HOST_NAME in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for defining an alias + which will be treated equivalently to "localhost" and HTHostName (the + fully qualified domain name of the system running Lynx) in checks for + URLs on the local host (e.g., when the -localhost switch is set). - FM +* Added in or improved descriptions for the new switches in the Lynx + command line help and Lynx_users_guide.html. - FM +07-16-95 +* Tweaks of yesterday's startfile and -homepage mods, and added treatment + of '~' as SYS$LOGIN when used as the lead character on VMS (e.g., on + VMS as on Unix, lynx ~/ will create a listing of the login directory + for the account running lynx). - FM +* Worked in stuff from 13-Jul-95 lynx2-4-1 upgrade. Most had already been + added to lynx2-4-FM. This is the new stuff. - FM: +--------------------------------------------------- + 07-13-95 +* Added some command line patches from Peter Brooks - CL: + (pbrooks@micromind.com). The new command lines are: + -post_data, -get_data = send form data from stdin and dumps results. + -auth=ID:PASSWD = sets authorization stuff at startup. + -mime_header = prints mime header with -source. + -noredir = prevents automatic redirection + -error_file=file = prints HTTP status code to file. (Not sure of + his motivation on this one, something to do with SlipKnot, + I think.) + (Replaced Peter's strdup()'s with more portable code. - FM) + 07-11-95 +* Added Erik Olson's (olson@phys.washngton.edu) patch to use the + _underline_ format when using the -dump option. - CL + (Kept the old code, #ifdef'ed out, to make this optional someday. - FM) + 07-07-95 +* Fixed a bug in local_dired. Specifically, a pointer to a fixed array + was being fed into StrAllocCopy as the destination. Linux was choking + on this although OSF/1 and AIX seemed to handle it better. - CL +--------------------------------------------------- +07-15-95 +* If a command line "startfile" and/or -homepage is not a URL, and can't + be located as a file or directory on the local system, treat it as an + http URL, e.g., www.wfeb.edu will be treated as http://www.wfeb.edu - FM +07-13-95 +* Added nntp URL handling (nntp://news_host[:port]/path). Made it read + access only (use news URLs for both read and post access). - FM +07-12-95 +* Added code for proxying https and snews URLs. The Netsite proxy server + can proxy them without need for SSL code in the clients themselves, i.e., + for Lynx as publically distributed (need client-resident SSL code and + tunneling for the CERN proxy server, sorry). - FM +* Added the CONNECT protocol to our local code, so that SSL URLs can be + tunneled through proxy servers, and reorganized some code so that patches + for the SSL hooks can be applied easily if NSA regulations are relaxed. - FM +07-11-95 +* More tweaks of alignment code. - FM +* Fixed bad code for removing trailing white space in GridText.c, LYrcFile.c, + LYReadCFG.c and LYUtils.c. - FM +* Added snews and nttp protocols, which simply inform the user that they + aren't implemented. - FM +* The claim is that even mere hooks to the RSA and SSL libraries are + objectionable to the NSA, so I removed then from the public distribution, + but left in the https protocol, which simply informs the user that it + isn't implemented. - FM +07-08-95 +* Worked in Lou Montulli's (montulli@netscape.com) code for https URL + handling into the Common Library. To actually use it, you have to + get the RSA and SSL libraries, which are restricted to US citizens + (it works if you are and do 8-). I can't include those in this + distribution, because by US law that would in turn restrict it to + US citizens. - FM +* Tweaks of paragraph alignment code. - FM +07-07-95 +* If we are not allowed to change the status of the "lynxexec + execution of links" from the option screen then we shouldn't be + allowed to change it from the .lynxrc file either. - GL +* Added George Lindholm's patch to add uudecode support to Lynx's file + manager. Unfortunately, uudecode puts the uudecoded file in the + current working directory, namely the directory where lynx is started. + I haven't thought of a workaround yet, so I made lynx print a + statusline message informing the user. - CL +07-06-95 +* Modified redirection-handling code in HTTP.c to ensure that we get all of + the headers before trying to track down the Location: header. - FM +* For move's or rename's in the local DIRED code, don't write the new file + name into the same buffer as the old. - Earl Fogel (fogel@duke.usask.ca) +07-05-95 +* Added GL's mods to use a stream-based procedure for displaying the + current Lynx keymap. Faster and more efficient than the temporary + file-based procedure. - FM +07-04-95 (Enjoy the fireworks!!! 8-) +* More mods of SGML/HTML parsing to help recover from bad HTML. - FM +* Fixed some cryptic initialization problems in the Common Library's + centering and right alignment code, that we're now using, by changing + the malloc's in HTChunk.c to calloc's. - FM +* Secured some unsafe code in the LYstrncpy() function. - FM +* Increased the connect() and select() while()-looping limit in HTTCP.c + to 30,000 tries. - FM +* Tweak of HR WIDTH attribute handling. - FM +07-03-95 +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for HR to HTML 3.0, plus + its Netscape WIDTH and SIZE attributes, and implemented WIDTH, e.g., + HR WIDTH="50%" yields a centered horizontal rule half the width + between the current left and right margins. - FM +* Fixed problem of header end tags not yielding line breaks when embedded + in CENTER, LEFT or RIGHT tags. - FM +07-02-95 +* Added MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg which can + be defined FALSE to treat inlines without an ALT string as having ALT="" + instead of inserting the pseudo-ALT string "[INLINE]" into the document. + The configuration file default can be toggled via a -pseudo_inlines + command line switch, and the user can toggle the inclusion of pseudo-ALT + strings on or off at run time via LYK_INLINE_TOGGLE (mapped by default + to '['). - FM +* Made the -image_links command line switch a toggle for the configuration + file default setting. - FM +* Enabled processing of forms that use TABLE for formatting. I don't see any + risk of crashes, and they might end up usable. Messages warn the user that + the display of the form may be strange. - FM +* Relaxed anti-crash protections for forms with bad HTML (usually due + to interdigitated instead of embedded tags, written by providers with + Netscape or Mosaic clients, which are insensitive to such fundamentally + bad HTML). I got the code to still work with several bad forms on the + Net, and if a crash should occur, the user has been tipped off via the + statusline or trace message about the nature of the problem. - FM +07-01-95 +* Restored the meaning of the P element to be the beginning of a paragraph, + updated its structures and definitions in the DTD to HTML 3.0, and + implemented its ALIGN attribute (left, center, right). Note that it + no longer forces double spacing (you'll get the spacing defined in + the stylesheet for the current element, which may or may not be + double) and empty paragraphs (serial Ps) will not yield additional + newlines (use serial BRs for that). - FM +* If both download options and disk saves are restricted, don't fetch + binary files with a download offer when their links are activated + (just issue a statusline message that the file can't be displayed), + and issue a "disabled" statusline message for any overt 'd'ownload + attemps. - FM +* For disk saves in LYDownload.c, on VMS attempt a rename() first, and then + a spawned DCL copy if that fails. - FM +* Added memory exhaustion checks for all mallocs, reallocs and callocs in + the LYfoo modules. - FM +* Added CL's realloc() substitute for AIX and ultrix in GridText.c. - FM +* Map extensions .html3 and .ht3 to text/html in HTInit.c. - FM +06-29-95 +* Added code to enable creation of links for all images. Can be made the + default by setting MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES to TRUE in userdefs.h and/or + lynx.cfg (not advised). Can be implemented for the session via a command + line switch, -image_links, e.g., use lynx -dump -image_links to get links + for all images, as well as standard links, listed in the output. Can be + toggled on and off at run time via LYK_IMAGE_TOGGLE (mapped by default to + '*'). Use that in conjuction with the LYK_LIST command to get a list of + links that includes all images, e.g., for adding them as bookmarks. The + toggle also invokes a reload, so that the change will be implemented for + the current and any future documents, but if you return to cached + documents, those will need to be reloaded explicitly. See comments in + userdefs.h and lynx.cfg for more information. - FM +* Don't restrict use of Control-T for toggling trace mode to advanced + usermode (i.e., make it available in all usermodes, so people might + follow the instructions in "BAD HTML" statusline messages to check + the document in trace mode). - FM +* Modified LYList.c to indicate the anchor NAME/ID, if present, following + the TITLE, if known, in interactive 'l'ists. +* Modified SGML.c to treat '>' as both a close-double-quote and close-tag. + Now Lynx acts like Netscape, in that respect, so all that bad HTML + Netscape users are generating will not bother Lynx. - FM +06-28-95 +* Oops, missed an initialization in this morning's centering and right + alignment mods. - FM +* Fixed up HTML.c to bypass HTML 3.0 attribute checks for start tags generated + by the Common Library's non-http access types (gopher, ftp, news, wais) + Could crash, otherwise. - FM +* Fixed up GridText.c code to take non-printing control characters properly + into account when formatting centered or right-aligned text. - FM +* Mods to improve appropriate carryover or cancelling of alignment attributes + across successive elements. - FM +* Implemented Netscape LEFT and RIGHT extensions, homologously to CENTER. - FM +* Implemented Netscape BLINK extension as HT_UNDERLINE. - FM +06-26-95 +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for H1 - H6 to HTML 3.0 and + implemented their ALIGN attribute (left, right and center). - FM +* Implemented the Netscape CENTER extension. - FM +06-25-95 +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, + SELECT and OPTION to HTML 3.0. - FM +* Implemented the HTML 3.0 DISABLED attribute for FORM elements. - FM +* INPUT type "scribble" implemented as "text" according to the HTML 3.0 + recommendation for non-GUI clients. - FM +* Added protections against problems with INPUT types "range" and "file" + until they're implemented (will be tricky, but do-able 8-). - FM +06-23-95 +* Added all ISO8859-1 entities to the DTD. - FM +06-22-95 +* Updated the DTD structures and definitions for A and IMG to HTML 3.0, and + implemented their ID attribute. - FM +* Tweaks of FIG handling. - FM +* It is somehow inappropriate to teach our users to write correct HTML and + to tell them to always check it before publishing, when Lynx's on-line + help gives such a bad example :-} (not to mention versions from a couple + of months back). Better now. - Mark Martinec (Mark.Martinec@nsc.ijs.si) +06-20-95 +* Made the DTD structures and definitions for the HTML 3.0 elements + BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT, FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY complete, and added + those for STYLE, TABLE, TD, TH and TR. +* Tweaks of yesterday's HTML 3.0 additions (still just "first pass"). - FM +* Added code for avoiding potential problems with stylesheets and tables + in HTML 3.0 documents. - FM +06-19-95 +* Added "first pass" handling of HTML 3.0 elements BQ, CAPTION, CREDIT, + FIG, NOTE and OVERLAY. - FM +06-17-95 +* Close the configuration file on completion of the big while() in + LYReadCFG.c. - PM +* Added 00DIFFERENT to keep track of files in this code set which + presently differ from those in the latest development code set + at UKans (currently, lynx2-4-1.zip of 15-Jun-95). - FM +* Tweak of the pseudo-toolbar code. The 'l'ist command now displays the + TITLE (or RelValue, if TITLE is defaulted) of those links if they have + never been accessed, or their actual HTML titles if accessed, at the + top of the links list, so you can use that command instead of LYK_HOME + to reach the toolbar links at any time, and then left-arrow to where + you were in the current document instead of having to page back down + to that location. - FM +06-16-95 +* Added LINK REL="RelValue" HREF="foo" TITLE="TitleValue" HTML 3.0 + handling (as in http://www.hpl.hp.co.uk/people/dsr/html3/dochead.html + of 28-Mar-95). The HREF and REL values are required (the LINK will be + ignored if either is missing or has a zero-length value). TITLE is + optional, i.e., the RelValue will be used as the link name if TITLE + is omitted. Currently registered toolbar RelValues are: Home, ToC, + Index, Glossary, Copyright, Up, Next, Previous, Help, and Bookmark. + The Bookmark links are intended to have TITLEs (e.g., "Order Form"). + The others have RelValues that yield self-evident link names. The LINKs + should be placed in the HEAD section, so they'll be displayed in a manner + simulating a toolbar (but not a real one, since we don't have Windows and + mouse support; use your LYK_HOME command to access it at any time 8-). + The BODY should have a line-breaking element (e.g, H1) to set them off. + For now, the Banner RelValue is treated like another toolbar element. + The StyleSheet RelValue is ignored, since we don't yet have loadable + stylesheet handling. - FM +* Fixed up the 06-13-95 NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL patch to be appropriate for + VMS - FM. +06-14-95 +* Added LYK_LIST command ('l' or 'L'; must be uppercase if VI keys are on) + for creating an ACTIVATEable list of references (links) in the current + document. If LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED is on, it's a UL, otherwise it's an + OL. Visited links have the TITLE displayed, otherwise the HREF is + displayed. - FM +* Added code to append a list of references (links), if present in the + document, when -dump is used. Dumps are done with LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED + turned on. The reference list is numbered, and always shows the HREFs, + so that they can be referenced to the links in the document. - FM +* Updated help files. - FM +--- lynx2-4-1 on ftp2.cc.ukans.edu (added to lynx2-4-FM on 06-16-95) +06-13-95 +* Added George Lindholm's patch to add -r (recurse) to the zip call in DIRED. + - JP +06-12-95 +* Added George Lindholm's new file permission patch. Here's his description: + "Here is a rewamped version of my earlier file permission patch. This version + uses a html page to prompt for user input (rather than having the user + enter a obscure unix chmod string) using checkboxes." - JP +* Added George Lindholm's addition of a compiler flag (NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL). + If NO_ANONYMOUS_EMAIL is set the user will not be able to add their own + from header. This will only work if the mail package being used will + add this information. - JP +--- lynx2-4-1 on ftp2.cc.ukans.edu +06-09-95 +* Replaced info.cern.ch with www.w3.org in html and make files.

These facilities allow +the user to delete, rename, and re-locate files and/or directories and +to create and/or upload new files and directories. This will mainly +be of interest to systems administrators who are interested in running +lynx as a restricted shell in order to provide controlled access to a +range of services (as in a freenet). It may also be of use at sites +where some of the users are experiencing difficulty with the raw Unix +interface. + +Support for the new facilities is enabled at compile time by defining +the variable `DIRED_SUPPORT' in the `MCFLAGS' list in the Lynx +Makefile, and in the WWW makefile `CommonMakefile'. Runtime support +for disabling the facilities is provided by way of the restriction +`dired_support' which can be set on the command line for a particular +session. + +The Makefile also provides additional compile time flags for +controlling the extent and application of the file management +facilities; specifically, `OK_TAR' which enables support for creating +and expanding tar archives, `OK_GZIP' which enables use of gzip to +compress and decompress files, and `OK_OVERRIDE' which allows access +to the file management facilities directly from the keyboard in +addition to access by way of a file management menu. + +There are two possible modes of operation; the first in which a single +file management menu is invoked via the `f', or `F' key; the second, +in which the more often used facilities are made available directly +from the keyboard in addition to access via the menu. The second +method provides a much better user interface but requires re-mapping +some of the keys from their standard lynx interpretation, temporarily +when file management mode is in effect. For example, if OK_OVERRIDE is +defined at compile-time, then the line at the bottom of the screen, in +novice mode, will be + + C)reate D)ownload E)dit F)ull menu M)odify R)emove T)ag U)pload + +rather than the standard second noviceline, + + H)elp O)ptions P)rint G)o M)ain screen Q)uit /=search [delete]=history list + +when the user is browsing part of the file system. If OK_OVERRIDE is not +defined then all access to file management functionality must be by way +of the menu. The only exception is that the facility to tag files for +subsequent removal and/or re-location is always available directly from +the keyboard using `t', and `T'. + +This is a first release of the file management enhancements and suggestions +for improvements are welcome. Among the enhancements which are currently +being considered are facilities for changing file access attributes, and +a facility for listing and extracting part of an archive. + +In order to use the file management facilities you may either point +the program at a directory on the command line or point the program at +an html file which contains a link of the following form: + + <a href="file://localhost/~/"> Manage Personal Directory ? </a> + +where the anchor `file://localhost/~/' implies a reference to +/home/username. Because the `~/' in a file URL is converted to +`/home/username' regardless of origin, these facilities also work when +the anchor shown above is served from an http server as well. In +either case the reference is to files on the local system and not +files in the domain of the server. + +By default the file listing is in standard Unix mixed format, but you +may use the Options menu to select WWW `directories first' format, or +`files first' format if you prefer. + +Rick Mallett, Carleton University, Ottawa Canada.

Probably it would be cpXXX. Please +contact lynx-dev mailing list if you want any new codepage not listed there. + +Note that all points of the connection between the display at your end and Lynx +at the remote end must be 8-bit clean. If the high bit is being stripped at +any point in between, the only character set you can use (effectively) in Lynx +will be "7 bit approximations". More on that later. + + +MS-DOS character set weirdness +============================== +MS-DOS uses a bass-ackwards character set in which half the normal characters +have been replaced by pseudo-graphic line and box-drawing characters, and in +which almost all of the international characters are mapped to nonstandard +numbers. It also contains Greek letters. + +Further confusing matters, there is more than one MS-DOS character set. The +character sets are referred to as "codepages," each of which has a unique +number. IBM PCs and compatibles come with one hardware-based default codepage +and a keyboard to match. In the US market the hardware codepage is 437. PCs +destined for other regions of the world often have a different default codepage +which contains characters for other languages and keyboards. Under MS-DOS, one +can load different codepages into memory and use one of them instead of the +hardware default. + +If you are using Lynx through an MS-DOS based terminal program or telnet +client, you should use an appropriate DOS codepage in Lynx and you need not any +translation within terminal program (this is different from old-style behavior +and works better because of superior Lynx translation support). + +Check your display by accessing Martin Ramsch's ISO-8859-1 table +(iso8859-1.html in the Lynx distribution's test subdirectory). + +Ramsch's table describes each entity and shows examples of each. It should be +immediately obvious that you are either seeing what you are supposed to, or +you're not. If you see box and line-drawing characters and mismatched letters +and so on, you are likely displaying 7 bit data, not 8. Ensure that all points +of your connection are 8-bit clean: + + On any remote UNIX systems you must pass through, do + 'stty cs8 -istrip' or 'stty pass8'. 'stty -a' should list + your settings. + On any remote VMS systems, do 'set terminal /eightbit'. + Make sure your terminal program or telnet client is not filtering + 8-bit data. You may found the choice between "VT-100 strict" + and "VT-100 relaxed" emulation mode - use relaxed. + Note: Procomm for DOS has a confusing "Use 7 bit or 8 bit + ANSI" setting -- this has to do with ANSI sequences. If set to + 8 bit, some 8-bit character sequences, including those passed + by Lynx as well as those which are for your terminal type + (vt100, etc.) will be processed by Procomm as ANSI screen + control codes and will most likely result in a garbled display. + Set it to 7 bit. + If going through a dialup terminal server, you may have to set the + terminal server itself to pass 8 bit data.
