Subject: [Lynx-dev] lynx2.8.8pre.1
The current version of lynx is 2.8.7
It's available at
http://lynx.isc.org/
ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/
2.8.8 Development & patches:
http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html
2013-11-28 (2.8.8pre.1)
2013-11-28 (2.8.8dev.17)
* revise/update counts in README.metrics, using a script replacing a manual
procedure -TD
* amend check for magic header bytes from 2.8.8dev.3 for "deflate" to limit it
to the 3-bit block header described in RFC-1951 -TD
* install the sample-files in the dpkg test-script -TD
* add configure option --with-cfg-path and environment variables LYNX_CFG_PATH
to provide search-list capability for the ".cfg" and ".lss" files -TD
* modify configuration of COLOR_STYLE value in lynx.cfg, allowing multiple
filenames to be specified and providing those as choices in the O'ptions
menu (Debian #404893) -TD
* updates for lynx_help_main.html -TD
* update URLs in about_lynx.html -TD
* add internal URL "LYNXEDITMAP:", which is (like "LYNXKEYMAP:") generated,
making that the primary page for field-editing help -TD
* improve DOSPATH-related logic in HomeEnv(), making this work properly with
Windows Vista and 7. The feature is needed to read Lynx's bookmarks file
from the user's "Personal" shell-folder (report by Manuel Nunez) -TD
* modify samples/*.bat to work when running in a directory whose pathname
contains spaces -TD
* reduce required privileges for installing in lynx.iss -TD
* improve sed expression appended to help_files.sed to fix a case for the
edit-helpfiles which left a ".gz.gz" suffix for compressed filename URLs,
overlooked since 2.8.1pre.3 -TD
* modify logic in lkcstring_to_lkc() to allow named keys, e.g., from curses,
to be used consistently in a KEYMAP directive -TD
* add version-info to LYIcon.rc -TD
* add symbols in Keysym_Strings[] and table in setup_vtXXX_keymap() for
function keys 2-12, to improve keymap-configurability -TD
* change extra-key #define's in LYStrings.h to enum -TD
* cleanup pre-2.7 debris from LYStrings.c and LYStrings.h -TD
* modify tables for key-bindings and edit-bindings to allow them to be reloaded
to their initial values -TD
* add check in get_connection() for ftp-connections to ensure that a password
from a URL is non-empty -TD
* add samples/oldlynx.bat to demonstrate how to use non-color-style -TD
* add NSIS script, to allow building Windows installer via cross-compiling -TD
* fixes to configure script and makefiles to work with empty $prefix, e.g.,
as used in MSYS -TD
* improve configure check for sleep() for cross-compiling to MinGW -TD
* modify configure check for inet_addr() for cross-compiling to MinGW -TD
* add configure check for Win32 flavor of PDCurses when cross-compiling to
MinGW using the "--with-screen=pdcurses" option -TD
* improve color-style simulation of old color scheme by coloring input fields
with color #5 -TD
* correct search logic to match links which are wrapped on the right margin.
Previous fixes to highlight arbitrarily long links overlooked this case
(Debian #546264) -TD
* modify the INFO page, normally bound to "=", to show decoded strings for
URLs, e.g., which use %xy hexadecimal encoding. The decoded strings are
shown on the line following the encoded URLs if the strings are different.
Also if display-charset is UTF-8, modify -dump "References" URLs to show
the corresponding decoded strings for consistency with the text which is
already in UTF-8. Other URLs such as that shown in the status area are
shown in encoded form per previous discussion which recommending doing this
to address phishing attempts (Debian #398274) -TD
* simplify file-URLs shown in reference list of -dump by trimming unnecessary
"localhost", e.g.,
file://localhost/XXX
becomes
file:///XXX
(Debian #334787) -TD
* extend the "Bad HTML" warning feature to -dump option when the -stderr
option is also set (Debian #398304) -TD
* add -list_inline option, which modifies -dump output to put links inline with
the text rather than in a list at the end of the dump (Debian #584080) -TD
* add clarification in manpage regarding -force_html option versus -dump or
-crawl (Debian #254603, Debian #295273) -TD
* improve manpage descriptions of -reload, -get_data and -post_data (Debian
#350853) -TD
* modify manpage synopsis to make it clearer that Lynx accepts more than one
path and/or URL on the command-line. The paragraph explaining this was
added in 2.8.6dev.5 (Debian #350853) -TD
* update COPYHEADER, clarifying license issues -TD
* minor change to Content-Length logic from 2.8.8dev.13 to work with Amazon's
cookies (Debian #720541) -TD
* improve warning message for GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNER_NOT_FOUND (Debian #695653) -TD
* ignore non-fatal return codes from gnutls_handshake introduced by SNI change
in 2.8.8dev.15 (Debian #724812, patch by Hans Wurst).
* updates for configure macros -TD
+ CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, fix from byacc for "newer" autoconf.
+ CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER, fix from xterm for problem with -Wl,xxx options
+ CF_CURSES_LIBS, modify to allow external script to set $cf_term_lib and/or
$cf_curs_lib
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER, $host_os needs AC_CANONICAL_HOST
+ CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES, add msys / msysdll to known host/platform types
+ CF_RPATH_HACK, use sort and uniq rather than sort -u, to work with HPUX
11.11, etc.
+ CF_TRY_PKG_CONFIG, set variables for consistent usage of this macro
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, add msys / msysdll to known host/platform types
+ CF_X_ATHENA, trim extra X libraries after updating lists, to work with ld
--as-needed option which in effect uses only the first mention of the
library. If that does not follow everything that depends on the library,
ld will silently fail to resolve symbols.
* update config.guess (2013-06-10), config.sub (2013-09-05)
