4 You can see the complete list of recent changes, bugfixes and new features
5 in the http://repo.or.cz/w/elinks.git[gitweb interface]. See the ChangeLog
11 To be released as ELinks 0.13.0.
15 * The protocol.fsp.sort option has been removed. ELinks always sorts.
19 * major bug 181: Slave ELinks processes can now run an external editor.
20 This used to work in the master process only.
21 * major bug 722: Filter CSS according to media types. New option
23 * bug 638: Propagate the existence of $DISPLAY from slave terminals to
24 mailcap test commands.
25 * bug 963: New option document.css.ignore_display_none.
26 * bug 977: Fixed crash when opening in new tab a non link with onclick
28 * bug 983: Give preference to the Content-Type specified in the HTTP
29 header over that specified via the HTML meta tag.
30 * bug 1008: File upload fields in HTML forms now stream the files to
31 the server, instead of reading them to memory in advance. This lets
32 you upload larger files. The downsides are that ELinks may use a
33 cached response even if you have modified a file between requests,
34 and that ELinks can send inconsistent data if you modify a file
35 while it is being uploaded.
36 * bug 1054: Don't abort downloads when closing the terminal from which
37 they were started. When such a download ends, display the message
38 in the most recently used terminal. If the user chooses
39 ``Background and Notify'' via the download manager in some terminal,
40 reassociate the download with that terminal. These changes do not
41 apply to downloads to external handlers.
42 * Really retry forever when connection.retries = 0.
43 * enhancement: Session-specific options. Any options changed with
44 toggle-* actions no longer affect other tabs or other terminals.
45 * enhancement: Domain-specific options. Use set_domain in elinks.conf
46 to e.g. disable cookies for google.com. The option manager window
47 does not yet support this.
48 * enhancement 867: Use bracketed paste mode on xterm. This requires
49 xterm patch #228 or later configured with --enable-readline-mouse.
50 * enhancement 824: Experimental support for combining characters.
51 See features.conf for details.
52 * enhancement: Add a new entry Link Info under Link main menu.
53 * enhancement: New option protocol.http.compression.
54 * enhancement: Indicate backgrounded downloads using an unused led.
55 * enhancement: Display the number of ECMAScript interpreters that have
56 been allocated for documents in the Resources dialog.
57 * Fedora enhancement 346861: Add support for nss_compat_ossl library
58 (OpenSSL replacement).
59 * enhancement: Scrolling the entire contents of dialog boxes.
60 Especially useful for multi-file BitTorrent downloads.

63 The following changes should be removed from NEWS before ELinks 0.13.0
64 is released. They are currently listed here just to show that they
65 have already been considered.
67 * Fixed bugs that were not in previous versions:
68 - critical bug 1009: assertion failure in add_snippets()
70 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
72 ELinks 0.12pre2.GIT now:
73 ------------------------
75 To be released as 0.12pre3, 0.12rc1, or even 0.12.0. This branch also
76 includes the changes listed under ``ELinks 0.11.5.GIT'' below.
80 * bug 1060: Regexp searching now requires the TRE library.
84 * critical: Fix assertion failure if IMG/@usemap refers to a different
86 * Preserve newlines in hidden input fields, and submit them as CRLF.
87 Previously, they could turn into spaces or disappear entirely.
88 * Perl scripts can use modules that dynamically load C libraries, like
89 XML::LibXML::SAX does.
90 * bug 153: Preserve Unicode characters in XBEL bookmark files.
91 However, Unicode in URIs (really IRIs) does not work reliably yet;
92 this is being tracked as bug 1066.
93 * bug 885: Convert xterm titles to ISO-8859-1 by default, but add an
94 option to disable this. When removing control characters from a
95 title, note the charset. Don't truncate titles to the width of the
97 * bug 1061: Correctly truncate UTF-8 titles in the tab bar.
98 * minor bug 761: When reading bookmarks from an XBEL file, distinguish
99 attribute names from attribute values.
100 * enhancement: Updated ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-16, KOI8-R, and MacRoman.
102 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
104 * critical bug 1067: Fixed a crash in the RSS parser that ``configure
105 --enable-html-highlight'' enables. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first
106 release that supported RSS at all.
111 Released on 2008-09-21. This release also included the changes listed
112 under ``ELinks 0.11.5'' below.
114 * bug 954, enhancement 952: Keep track of ECMAScript form and input
115 objects instead of constructing new ones on every access. When the
116 corresponding ELinks internal objects are destroyed, detach the
117 ECMAScript objects from them, to prevent crashes. (Bug 954 was
118 first added in ELinks 0.11.4, and the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1
119 made crashes more likely.)
120 * critical bug 1029 in user SMJS: Prefer JS_CallFunctionValue over
121 JS_CallFunction, which can crash if given a closure.
122 * critical bug 1031: Use the same JSRuntime for both user SMJS and
123 scripts on web pages, to work around SpiderMonkey bug 378918.
124 * bug 1013: Don't assume errno values are between 0 and 100000.
125 * bug 1022: Add connection.ssl.trusted_ca_file setting for GnuTLS.
126 Before this, ELinks did not trust any certificate authorities when
127 it used GnuTLS, so certificate verification always failed if you
128 enabled it at connection.ssl.cert_verify.
129 * bug 1040: Blacklist servers that don't support TLS. This reduces
130 SSL errors especially in HTTP POST requests using GnuTLS.
131 * bugs 1007, 1041: Display unrecognized lines in FTP directory
132 listings, instead of annoying the user with error messages.
133 * Hurd bug 22861: Work around select() falsely reporting exceptions
135 * minor bug 951: SpiderMonkey scripting objects used to prevent ELinks
136 from removing files from the memory cache.
137 * build bug 1044: Check whether -rdynamic works with libraries.
138 With Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 9, it reportedly doesn't.
140 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
142 * critical: Fix crash after a tab was opened during reload. This was
143 triggered by the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1.
144 * critical bug 1018: Avoid an assertion failure when selecting a value
145 from a pop-up menu for an input field in a tab that is no longer
146 current, e.g. because another tab was opened with elinks -remote.
147 This bug was first released in ELinks 0.12pre1.
148 * major bug 1026 in user SMJS: Protect the callback of elinks.load_uri
149 from the garbage collector. The elinks.load_uri method was added in
151 * bug 955: Reset buttons no longer run FORM/@onsubmit, and
152 ``harmless'' buttons no longer submit the form. ELinks 0.12pre1
153 was the first release that had these bugs.
154 * bug 1033: Fix memory leak in ECMAScript window.open. ELinks 0.12pre1
155 was the first release that had this bug.
156 * bug 1034: ``Content-Encoding: deflate'' allows a zlib header as
157 specified in RFC 2616.
158 * Global ECMAScript functions alert, open, and setTimeout again work
159 with SEE. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported SEE
161 * build bug 1045: Fix ``void function cannot return value'' in
162 never_for_this_site() of src/formhist/formhist.c. ELinks 0.12pre1
163 was the first release that had this bug.
168 Released on 2008-07-01. This release also included the changes listed
169 under ``ELinks 0.11.4'' below.
171 Notable new features:
173 * enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not merely UTF-8 I/O
174 of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions. Double-cell (aka
175 fullwidth) and supplementary characters work too, but combining
176 characters and right-to-left text do not. The only multibyte
177 charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the server outputs
178 e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy. See more notes
180 * enhancement 844: SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
181 the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
182 Unfortunately, Samba 3.2.0 and later seem GPLv2 incompatible.
186 * ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known
187 bugs 548 and 771 with which malicious web pages can hang ELinks,
188 and its security goals are undocumented. If you must enable
189 ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the ELinks
190 process with a sandbox of some kind.
191 * ECMAScript support no longer works with SpiderMonkey versions
192 earlier than JS1.5 RC3a.
193 * Gzip decompression support now requires zlib 1.2.0.2 or later.
194 * bugs 871, 752: The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends
195 on config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
196 different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
198 * Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new). The
199 hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
200 The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
201 previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
202 * Guile scripting reads hooks.scm rather than internal-hooks.scm.
203 (It still reads user-hooks.scm, too.)
207 * critical bug 723: fix dangling pointer crash when following a link
209 * critical bug 756: ``assertion (cached)->object.refcount >= 0 failed''
210 after HTTP proxy was changed
211 * critical bug 869: long mailcap entry buffer overflow (non-security)
213 * tabs opened by -remote now go behind existing dialogs
214 * major bug 534, enhancement 517: fix HTTP gzip and bzip2
215 decompression, and add deflate and LZMA (requires LZMA Utils)
216 * major bug 503: various fixes in parsing and updating of elinks.conf
217 * Debian bug 257762: turn terminal transparency off by default
218 * bug 770: when the user chooses to resume an HTTP download, abort the
219 automatically started one and start a new one with the right range
220 * bug 724: better parsing of escape sequences and control
221 sequences from the terminal
222 * bug 948: fix wrong UTF-8 output after the charset menu was used
223 * bug 816: convert entity references in input/@value only once
224 * bug 916: if a mailcap entry has no %s, provide the file as stdin
225 * bug 744: don't change ``//'' to ``/'' in URIs
226 * bug 766: speed up CSS
227 * bug 355: add documents displayed via ``What to do'' dialog to the
229 * encode and decode filenames in FSP URLs
230 * don't use a busy cache entry if it has expired or should be
231 reloaded. See elinks-users mail from 28 Oct 2005.
232 * several accesskey fixes
233 * in Lua: don't write to the string returned by lua_tostring
234 * minor bug 972: preserve the background color and underlining in
235 spaces when justifying
236 * minor bug 284: render closing bracket for HTML element SUB in the
237 same line; don't let it fall to the next
238 * minor: show quote characters for HTML element Q, rather than italics
239 * trivial bug 387: treat 
 inside <pre>...</pre> as a newline
240 * trivial bug 930: refresh status bar when key prefix is eaten
241 * trivial bug 776: ``elinks -remote http://elinks.cz/'' no longer clears
243 * enhancement 790: If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match
244 * enhancement: HTTP negotiate-auth using GSSAPI
245 * enhancement: FSP progress indicator and password prompt
246 * enhancement: autocreate directories needed to download a file

248 * enhancement 887: ``Save'' in the cookie manager now saves cookies
250 * enhancement 145: internal clipboard support
251 * enhancement: new main actions move-cursor-line-start,
252 move-link-down-line, move-link-left-line, move-link-right-line,
254 * enhancement: new edit actions kill-word-back, move-backward-word,
256 * enhancements 687, 688: options ui.tabs.top, ui.show_menu_bar_always
257 * enhancement: highlight links as one enters link prefixes
258 * enhancement: backspace backs out the last digit of the prefix
259 * enhancement: in text type-ahead searching, don't follow current link
261 * enhancement: add support for parsing space separated CSS class
263 * enhancement: make meta refresh content attribute parsing more tolerant
264 * enhancement: recognize meta http-equiv="cache-control" even if no
266 * enhancement: mouse wheel support over GPM (contrib/gpm-wheel.patch),
267 and on BSD via moused -z 4
268 * enhancement: 24-bit truecolor mode
269 * enhancement 622: -dump-color-mode
270 * enhancement 994: treat only termios.c_cc[VERASE] as "Backspace"
271 * enhancement: support Ctrl+Alt+letter key combinations
272 * enhancement 381: reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
274 * enhancement in user SMJS: new properties/functions elinks.action,
275 elinks.execute, elinks.globhist, elinks.load_uri, elinks.vs

280 printing of off_t values
281 * bug 725: fix version checking for Ruby in 'configure'

283 rest before propagating
284 * enhancement: make uninstall
285 * experimental enhancements: --with-python=DIRECTORY, --with-gc=DIRECTORY
286 * experimental enhancement: Win32 port (build with MinGW MSYS)
288 Changes in the experimental ECMAScript support:
290 * disabled by default, as mentioned under ``Incompatibilities'' above
291 * execute event-handler scripts as function bodies, so ``return''
292 statements work as intended
293 * fix error ``forms.namedItem is not a function''
294 * enhancement: SEE ECMAScript backend, an alternative to SpiderMonkey
295 * enhancement: handling onsubmit
296 * workaround: window.open remembers the last few URLs and doesn't
297 reopen them when incremental rendering reruns the onload script
298 * enhancement: better handling of form.action assignments
299 * enhancement: form[x] looks up controls also by 'id', not only 'name'
300 * enhancement: added document.location.href, input.selectedIndex,
301 window.setTimeout, window.status
303 Changes in the experimental NNTP client:
305 * HTML escape header field values
306 * Add support for handling RFC2047 encoded words
307 * Improve listing of articles for groups
309 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
311 * enhancement: minimalistic RSS renderer
312 * enhancement: source highlighting also recognizes
313 application/xhtml+xml and application/docbook+xml. It doesn't yet
314 support arbitrary XML though.
315 * enhancement: make it possible to use more CSS properties with the
317 * enhancement: handle <base href=""> for HTML source rendering
318 * enhancement: add support for scanning comment endings such as

331 * major bug 1004: ignore locales when comparing HTML element names and
332 similar strings, so e.g. ``title'' matches ``TITLE'' even in the

335 than the one selected with move-cursor-* actions
340 Released on 2008-09-21.
342 * critical bug 1027 in user SMJS: make elinks.keymaps treat null and

371 * important Debian bug 380347: prevent a buffer overflow in entity_cache
372 and a possible subsequent crash
373 * major bug 788: don't read STRLEN n_a, which isn't initialized by
374 POPpx of Perl v5.8.8 and later
375 * fix query parsing in file: URIs for local CGI (was broken in 0.11.3)
