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

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

276 printing of off_t values
277 * bug 725: fix version checking for Ruby in 'configure'
278 * enhancement: if make -k was used and a sub-Make fails, build the
279 rest before propagating
280 * enhancement: make uninstall
281 * experimental enhancements: --with-python=DIRECTORY, --with-gc=DIRECTORY
282 * experimental enhancement: Win32 port (build with MinGW MSYS)
284 Changes in the experimental ECMAScript support:
286 * disabled by default, as mentioned under ``Incompatibilities'' above
287 * execute event-handler scripts as function bodies, so ``return''
288 statements work as intended
289 * fix error ``forms.namedItem is not a function''
290 * enhancement: SEE ECMAScript backend, an alternative to SpiderMonkey
291 * enhancement: handling onsubmit
292 * workaround: window.open remembers the last few URLs and doesn't
293 reopen them when incremental rendering reruns the onload script
294 * enhancement: better handling of form.action assignments
295 * enhancement: form[x] looks up controls also by 'id', not only 'name'
296 * enhancement: added document.location.href, input.selectedIndex,
