The justified line was shorter than expected when justifying text -TD * fix a special case of trailing whitespace not shown in pretty source, at the end of a closing tag -TD * remove "Bad HTML" warning for buttons outside a form, since those can be inline, according to the HTML 4 DTD -TD * provide navigation to script-buttons, to make them more visible, showing their name -TD * change default for send_useragent option to true (prompted by discussion on lynx-dev) -TD * correct check for default type of HTML BUTTON, which is "submit". The code treated this as "button" (prompted by discussion on lynx-dev) -TD 2009-05-25 (2.8.7pre.4) * update lynx.pot file -TD * fix a typo in change for Debian #388622 -TD 2009-05-25 (2.8.7pre.3) * suppress check for "disabled" attribute in a select, as a workaround (Debian #525934) -TD * accommodate (in)compatibility "feature" in HTML5 draft which replaces ISO-8859-1 with Windows-1252, as indicated here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#character-encodings-0 (Debian #514897) -TD * remove check for -dump option from HTHandleAuthInfo(), allowing Lynx to -dump or -source NNTP urls (report by Dallas E Legan II) -TD * amend fix for Debian #388622 to allow the user to save names to the home directory, e.g., ~/foo -TD * add an Options menu checkbox to tell if Lynx should send a user-agent string. Unless the useragent restriction is set, the default for this checkbox is off, so that Lynx will not send the string. The corresponding setting, send_useragent, may be saved to ~/.lynxrc, but normally is not -TD * correct type for HTNewsGetCharacter() in HTNews.c, which could return a sign-extended character mistaken for EOF (report by Dallas E Legan II) -TD 2009-04-26 (2.8.7pre.2) * update it.po from http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx/ * update lynx user's guide section on Options Menu -TD * modify prompt in LYLoadCGI() from 2.8.6dev.15 to always prompt user (from FEDORA-2008-9597), and modify compiled-in configuration default for consistency with other lynx.cfg settings to require that lynx.cfg be set

for --enable-ascii-ctypes to true -TD * modify Lynx's DTD information to allow it to display form-related tags that are inline, even without being in a form as indicated in http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd for %inline.forms and %misc.inline (Debian #398986) -TD * finish dtd_util, making it able to load and save data from a flat file that can be edited -TD * correct length of padding with underscores in LYhighlight, which used the wrong variable based on glyph count rather than cells (Debian #519199) -TD * fix a few cases where PUTC's intended for pretty-src would display in the HTML view (Debian #521489) -TD * fix some mismatched BOOL vs BOOLEAN from compiler warnings due to dev.13 change to LYStructs.h -TD * add TNS SNI support for the OpenSSL configuration -Phil Pennock * add docs/README.cookies and docs/README.options -Stefan Caunter * update docs/README.sslcerts -Stefan Caunter * add NO_PAUSE setting to lynx.cfg, .lynxrc and Options menu (request by Stefan Caunter) -TD 2009-03-17 (2.8.7pre.1) 2009-03-17 (2.8.7dev.14) * modify command-passing for Win32/DOS to use double-quotes -TD * adapt features from vile's

This also allows one to add SUFFIX commands to lynx.cfg to display the corresponding plain files. For example: SUFFIX:CHANGES.*:text/plain:8bit SUFFIX:CHANGES:text/plain:8bit for http://foo/CHANGES.tmp.gz http://foo/CHANGES.gz * workaround for STRING redefinition in parsdate.c on DJGPP -GV * improve configure-check to determine proper fallback when no long-long printing format is available -TD * update win32 makefiles/build scripts to add LYmktime, parsdate modules -TD * update config.guess (2008-04-14), config.sub (2008-06-16) 2008-09-21 (2.8.7dev.10) * remove rw.po, since the translation project no longer supplies it -TD * implement "readonly" attribute for TEXTAREA and TEXT fields -TD * update Lynx's tables of HTML attributes to cover (except for events) the keywords from HTML 4.01 -TD * modify initial active link in download-page to be the first download action rather than the "help" link which is provided in Novice mode (Debian #376259) -PBM, TD * implement "chunked" transfer-encoding to work with servers that ignore the version number in HTTP get's -TD * change initialization of trace file, handing this during the first part of argument parsing along with -help and -version, to show steps done for initialization of presentors, etc -TD * minor fix to LYstartPopup() to handle a case where the popup menu was too large for the screen -TD * fixes for srcdir!=objdir (report by FLWM) -TD * modify man2hlp.sh to work from subdirectory, e.g., its parameter would be "../lynx.man" -TD * set POSIX locale for install-cfg.sh and man2hlp.sh since they use character ranges -TD * add switch -xhtml-parsing and lynx.cfg XHTML_PARSING setting to control whether the extensions for XHTML 1.0 are used (prompted by bug report by FLWM, as well as discussion on lynx-dev) -TD * modify external editing of TEXTAREA to not do tab-conversion -TD * modify LYhighlight() to limit display of multicolumn characters -TD * rewrite LYRefreshEdit(), to display multibyte/multicolumn characters properly when using wide-character curses -TD * revise introductory comment written to ".lynxrc" (Debian #461158) -TD * discard anchor's post_data field in HTLoadDocument() if Lynx is about to reload a document. That would happen if the result of the form includes a link back to the form. Removing the data causes Lynx to prompt the user, e.g., Resubmit POST content to http://localhost/cgi-bin/lynxtest.pl ? (y/n) to offer the user the choice between revisiting form or re-POST'ing the data that was on the form (report by Andreas K Foerster) -TD * fixes for LYHighlight() when the highlighted text is empty -TD * translate named entities, etc., for "content" field of refresh-URL, cf: 2.8.5dev.13 (report by Ivan Shmakov) -TD * suppress computation in TrimmedLength() for source-view, which is not needed for Debian #204515 (patch by Mike Knight) * add check-po rule to po/makefile -TD * modify top-level makefile to work with configure --srcdir -TD * add update-po rule to top-level makefile -TD * update fr.po, nl.po, tr.po, vi.po, zh_TW.po,sv.po from http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx/ * parse doctype for xhtml, to tell when empty tags such as "
