8 ELinks 0.12pre5.GIT now:
9 ------------------------
11 To be released as 0.12pre6 or 0.12rc1.
13 * major bug 764: Correctly initialize options on big-endian 64-bit
15 * bug 983: Give preference to the Content-Type specified in the HTTP
16 header over that specified via the HTML meta tag.
17 * bug 1084: Allow option names containing '+' and '*' in the option
20 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
22 * critical bug 943: Don't let user JavaScripts call any methods of
23 ``elinks.action'' in tabs that do not have the focus. If a tab was
24 closed with ``elinks.action.tab_close'' while it had pop-up windows,
25 ELinks could crash; as a precaution, don't allow other actions
26 either. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported
28 * critical bug 1083: Avoid an infinite loop when trying to decompress
29 malformed data. Caused by the bug 1068 fix in ELinks 0.12pre3.
30 * bug 1112: Map most numeric character references € ... Ÿ
31 to graphical characters also when the output charset is UTF-8.
32 ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported UTF-8 as the
33 terminal charset, and ELinks 0.12pre5 was the first release that
34 supported UTF-8 as the dump charset.
39 Released on 2009-07-08.
41 * Debian bug 534835: Check the return values of some SpiderMonkey
42 functions, to avoid crashes if out of memory.
43 * minor bug 1017: To work around HTTP server bugs, disable
44 protocol.http.compression by default, until ELinks can report
45 decompression errors or automatically retry the connection.
46 * enhancement: The French translation was updated.
48 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
50 * critical bug 1081: To fix crashes caused by different definitions of
51 regfree() in TRE and in the system libc, link with TRE before any
52 other libraries. ELinks 0.12pre4 was the first release that had
54 * Searching for more than one fullwidth (e.g. Japanese) character now
56 * bug 1080: Support ``--dump-color-mode'' with ``--dump-charset UTF-8''.
57 Neither of those worked before ELinks 0.12pre1.
62 Released on 2009-05-31.
66 * Debian build bug 529821: Use ``pkg-config gnutls'' instead of
67 ``libgnutls-config'', which is not included in GNUTLS 2.7.x.
68 You can no longer specify the location of GNUTLS using
69 ``configure --with-gnutls=DIR''.
73 * critical bug 1077: Fix crash opening a ``javascript:'' link in a new
75 * Debian bug 528661: If using GNUTLS 2.1.7 or later, disable various
76 TLS extensions (including CERT and SERVERNAME) to help handshaking
77 with the SSLv3-only bugzilla.novell.com.
78 * Debian build bug 526349: Include asciidoc.py from AsciiDoc 7.1.2,
79 to remove all dependencies on the installed version.
80 * build enhancement: Recognize ``configure --without-tre''.
82 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
84 * critical bug 1071: Fix crash in get_dom_node_child. ELinks 0.12pre1
85 was the first release that had this bug.
86 * bug 765: Opening a new tab no longer asks about the document of the
87 previous tab. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that had this
93 Released on 2009-03-29. This release also included the changes listed
94 under ``ELinks 0.11.6'' below.
98 * bug 1060: Regexp searching now requires the TRE library.
99 * lzma disabled by default. It's rarely used and doesn't build with new xz.
103 * critical: Fix assertion failure if IMG/@usemap refers to a different
105 * Preserve newlines in hidden input fields, and submit them as CRLF.
106 Previously, they could turn into spaces or disappear entirely.
107 * Perl scripts can use modules that dynamically load C libraries, like
108 XML::LibXML::SAX does.
109 * bug 153: Preserve Unicode characters in XBEL bookmark files.
110 However, Unicode in URIs (really IRIs) does not work reliably yet;
111 this is being tracked as bug 1066.
112 * bug 885: Convert xterm titles to ISO-8859-1 by default, but add an
113 option to disable this. When removing control characters from a
114 title, note the charset. Don't truncate titles to the width of the
116 * bug 1061: Correctly truncate UTF-8 titles in the tab bar.
117 * bug 1068: ELinks used to display a blank or truncated page if an
118 HTTP/1.1 server sent a compressed body with incorrect Content-Length.
119 That has now been fixed, and a new option (protocol.http.compression)
121 * Don't crash when the search-toggle-regex action is used and no regular
122 expression support is compiled in.
123 * minor bug 761: When reading bookmarks from an XBEL file, distinguish
124 attribute names from attribute values.
125 * enhancement: Updated ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-16, KOI8-R, and MacRoman.
127 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
129 * critical bug 1067: Fixed a crash in the RSS parser that ``configure
130 --enable-html-highlight'' enables. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first
131 release that had this bug.
132 * bug 1069: ELinks didn't report ECMAScript errors, even if the
133 ecmascript.error_reporting option was turned on. ELinks 0.12pre2
134 was the first release that had this bug.
139 Released on 2008-09-21. This release also included the changes listed
140 under ``ELinks 0.11.5'' below.
142 * bug 954, enhancement 952: Keep track of ECMAScript form and input
143 objects instead of constructing new ones on every access. When the
144 corresponding ELinks internal objects are destroyed, detach the
145 ECMAScript objects from them, to prevent crashes. (Bug 954 was
146 first added in ELinks 0.11.4, and the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1
147 made crashes more likely.)
148 * critical bug 1029 in user SMJS: Prefer JS_CallFunctionValue over
149 JS_CallFunction, which can crash if given a closure.
150 * critical bug 1031: Use the same JSRuntime for both user SMJS and
151 scripts on web pages, to work around SpiderMonkey bug 378918.
152 * bug 1013: Don't assume errno values are between 0 and 100000.
153 * bug 1022: Add connection.ssl.trusted_ca_file setting for GnuTLS.
154 Before this, ELinks did not trust any certificate authorities when
155 it used GnuTLS, so certificate verification always failed if you
156 enabled it at connection.ssl.cert_verify.
157 * bug 1040: Blacklist servers that don't support TLS. This reduces
158 SSL errors especially in HTTP POST requests using GnuTLS.
159 * bugs 1007, 1041: Display unrecognized lines in FTP directory
160 listings, instead of annoying the user with error messages.
161 * Hurd bug 22861: Work around select() falsely reporting exceptions
163 * minor bug 951: SpiderMonkey scripting objects used to prevent ELinks
164 from removing files from the memory cache.
165 * build bug 1044: Check whether -rdynamic works with libraries.
166 With Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 9, it reportedly doesn't.
168 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
170 * critical: Fix crash after a tab was opened during reload. This was
171 triggered by the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1.
172 * critical bug 1018: Avoid an assertion failure when selecting a value
173 from a pop-up menu for an input field in a tab that is no longer
174 current, e.g. because another tab was opened with elinks -remote.
175 This bug was first released in ELinks 0.12pre1.
176 * major bug 1026 in user SMJS: Protect the callback of elinks.load_uri
177 from the garbage collector. The elinks.load_uri method was added in
179 * bug 955: Reset buttons no longer run FORM/@onsubmit, and
180 ``harmless'' buttons no longer submit the form. ELinks 0.12pre1
181 was the first release that had these bugs.
182 * bug 1033: Fix memory leak in ECMAScript window.open. ELinks 0.12pre1
183 was the first release that had this bug.
184 * bug 1034: ``Content-Encoding: deflate'' allows a zlib header as
185 specified in RFC 2616.
186 * Global ECMAScript functions alert, open, and setTimeout again work
187 with SEE. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported SEE
189 * build bug 1045: Fix ``void function cannot return value'' in
190 never_for_this_site() of src/formhist/formhist.c. ELinks 0.12pre1
191 was the first release that had this bug.
196 Released on 2008-07-01. This release also included the changes listed
197 under ``ELinks 0.11.4'' below.
199 Notable new features:
201 * enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not merely UTF-8 I/O
202 of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions. Double-cell (aka
203 fullwidth) and supplementary characters work too, but combining
204 characters and right-to-left text do not. The only multibyte
205 charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the server outputs
206 e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy. See more notes
208 * enhancement 844: SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
209 the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
210 Unfortunately, Samba 3.2.0 and later seem GPLv2 incompatible.
214 * ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known
215 bugs 548 and 771 with which malicious web pages can hang ELinks,
216 and its security goals are undocumented. If you must enable
217 ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the ELinks
218 process with a sandbox of some kind.
219 * ECMAScript support no longer works with SpiderMonkey versions
220 earlier than JS1.5 RC3a.
221 * Gzip decompression support now requires zlib 1.2.0.2 or later.
222 * bugs 871, 752: The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends
223 on config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
224 different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
226 * Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new). The
227 hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
228 The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
229 previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
230 * Guile scripting reads hooks.scm rather than internal-hooks.scm.
231 (It still reads user-hooks.scm, too.)
235 * critical bug 723: fix dangling pointer crash when following a link
237 * critical bug 756: ``assertion (cached)->object.refcount >= 0 failed''
238 after HTTP proxy was changed
239 * critical bug 869: long mailcap entry buffer overflow (non-security)
241 * tabs opened by -remote now go behind existing dialogs
242 * major bug 534, enhancement 517: fix HTTP gzip and bzip2
243 decompression, and add deflate and LZMA (requires LZMA Utils)
244 * major bug 503: various fixes in parsing and updating of elinks.conf
245 * Debian bug 257762: turn terminal transparency off by default
246 * bug 770: when the user chooses to resume an HTTP download, abort the
247 automatically started one and start a new one with the right range
248 * bug 724: better parsing of escape sequences and control
249 sequences from the terminal
250 * bug 948: fix wrong UTF-8 output after the charset menu was used
251 * bug 816: convert entity references in input/@value only once
252 * bug 916: if a mailcap entry has no %s, provide the file as stdin
253 * bug 744: don't change ``//'' to ``/'' in URIs
254 * bug 766: speed up CSS
255 * bug 355: add documents displayed via ``What to do'' dialog to the
257 * encode and decode filenames in FSP URLs
258 * don't use a busy cache entry if it has expired or should be
259 reloaded. See elinks-users mail from 28 Oct 2005.
260 * several accesskey fixes
261 * in Lua: don't write to the string returned by lua_tostring
262 * minor bug 972: preserve the background color and underlining in
263 spaces when justifying
264 * minor bug 284: render closing bracket for HTML element SUB in the
265 same line; don't let it fall to the next
266 * minor: show quote characters for HTML element Q, rather than italics
267 * trivial bug 387: treat 
 inside <pre>...</pre> as a newline
268 * trivial bug 930: refresh status bar when key prefix is eaten
269 * trivial bug 776: ``elinks -remote http://elinks.cz/'' no longer clears
271 * enhancement 790: If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match
272 * enhancement: HTTP negotiate-auth using GSSAPI
273 * enhancement: FSP progress indicator and password prompt
274 * enhancement: autocreate directories needed to download a file

276 * enhancement 887: ``Save'' in the cookie manager now saves cookies
278 * enhancement 145: internal clipboard support
279 * enhancement: new main actions move-cursor-line-start,
280 move-link-down-line, move-link-left-line, move-link-right-line,
282 * enhancement: new edit actions kill-word-back, move-backward-word,
284 * enhancements 687, 688: options ui.tabs.top, ui.show_menu_bar_always
285 * enhancement: highlight links as one enters link prefixes
286 * enhancement: backspace backs out the last digit of the prefix
287 * enhancement: in text type-ahead searching, don't follow current link
289 * enhancement: add support for parsing space separated CSS class
291 * enhancement: make meta refresh content attribute parsing more tolerant
292 * enhancement: recognize meta http-equiv="cache-control" even if no
294 * enhancement: mouse wheel support over GPM (contrib/gpm-wheel.patch),
295 and on BSD via moused -z 4
296 * enhancement: 24-bit truecolor mode
297 * enhancement 622: -dump-color-mode
298 * enhancement 994: treat only termios.c_cc[VERASE] as "Backspace"
299 * enhancement: support Ctrl+Alt+letter key combinations
300 * enhancement 381: reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
302 * enhancement in user SMJS: new properties/functions elinks.action,
303 elinks.execute, elinks.globhist, elinks.load_uri, elinks.vs
305 Build system and compile-time errors (ignore if you don't build ELinks):

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

311 rest before propagating
312 * enhancement: make uninstall
313 * experimental enhancements: --with-python=DIRECTORY, --with-gc=DIRECTORY
314 * experimental enhancement: Win32 port (build with MinGW MSYS)
316 Changes in the experimental ECMAScript support:
318 * disabled by default, as mentioned under ``Incompatibilities'' above
319 * execute event-handler scripts as function bodies, so ``return''
320 statements work as intended
321 * fix error ``forms.namedItem is not a function''
322 * enhancement: SEE ECMAScript backend, an alternative to SpiderMonkey
323 * enhancement: handling onsubmit
324 * workaround: window.open remembers the last few URLs and doesn't
325 reopen them when incremental rendering reruns the onload script
326 * enhancement: better handling of form.action assignments
327 * enhancement: form[x] looks up controls also by 'id', not only 'name'
328 * enhancement: added document.location.href, input.selectedIndex,

331 Changes in the experimental NNTP client:
333 * HTML escape header field values

335 * Improve listing of articles for groups
337 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
339 * enhancement: minimalistic RSS renderer

380 Released on 2008-09-21.
382 * critical bug 1027 in user SMJS: make elinks.keymaps treat null and

406 across versions of SpiderMonkey
407 * critical bugs 674, 956: don't reuse pointers to SpiderMonkey objects
408 that may have been collected as garbage. This fix causes bug 954.
409 * CVE-2007-2027: check if the program path contains "src/" before
411 * important Debian bug 380347, CVE-2008-7224: prevent a buffer

428 Flush all caches' to work around their holding cache entries busy
429 * minor bug 396: never show empty filename in the what-to-do dialog
