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
19 * minor bug 1113: Fix a small memory leak if a mailcap file is malformed.
20 * minor bug 1114: Decode SGML entities and NCRs only once in link/@title
22 * Dropped support for SEE
24 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
26 * critical bug 943: Don't let user JavaScripts call any methods of
27 ``elinks.action'' in tabs that do not have the focus. If a tab was
28 closed with ``elinks.action.tab_close'' while it had pop-up windows,
29 ELinks could crash; as a precaution, don't allow other actions
30 either. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported
32 * critical bug 1083: Avoid an infinite loop when trying to decompress
33 malformed data. Caused by the bug 1068 fix in ELinks 0.12pre3.
34 * bug 1112: Map most numeric character references € ... Ÿ
35 to graphical characters also when the output charset is UTF-8.
36 ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported UTF-8 as the
37 terminal charset, and ELinks 0.12pre5 was the first release that
38 supported UTF-8 as the dump charset.
43 Released on 2009-07-08.
45 * Debian bug 534835: Check the return values of some SpiderMonkey
46 functions, to avoid crashes if out of memory.
47 * minor bug 1017: To work around HTTP server bugs, disable
48 protocol.http.compression by default, until ELinks can report
49 decompression errors or automatically retry the connection.
50 * enhancement: The French translation was updated.
52 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
54 * critical bug 1081: To fix crashes caused by different definitions of
55 regfree() in TRE and in the system libc, link with TRE before any
56 other libraries. ELinks 0.12pre4 was the first release that had
58 * Searching for more than one fullwidth (e.g. Japanese) character now
60 * bug 1080: Support ``--dump-color-mode'' with ``--dump-charset UTF-8''.
61 Neither of those worked before ELinks 0.12pre1.
66 Released on 2009-05-31.
70 * Debian build bug 529821: Use ``pkg-config gnutls'' instead of
71 ``libgnutls-config'', which is not included in GNUTLS 2.7.x.
72 You can no longer specify the location of GNUTLS using
73 ``configure --with-gnutls=DIR''.
77 * critical bug 1077: Fix crash opening a ``javascript:'' link in a new
79 * Debian bug 528661: If using GNUTLS 2.1.7 or later, disable various
80 TLS extensions (including CERT and SERVERNAME) to help handshaking
81 with the SSLv3-only bugzilla.novell.com.
82 * Debian build bug 526349: Include asciidoc.py from AsciiDoc 7.1.2,
83 to remove all dependencies on the installed version.
84 * build enhancement: Recognize ``configure --without-tre''.
86 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
88 * critical bug 1071: Fix crash in get_dom_node_child. ELinks 0.12pre1
89 was the first release that had this bug.
90 * bug 765: Opening a new tab no longer asks about the document of the
91 previous tab. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that had this
97 Released on 2009-03-29. This release also included the changes listed
98 under ``ELinks 0.11.6'' below.
102 * bug 1060: Regexp searching now requires the TRE library.
103 * lzma disabled by default. It's rarely used and doesn't build with new xz.
107 * critical: Fix assertion failure if IMG/@usemap refers to a different
109 * Preserve newlines in hidden input fields, and submit them as CRLF.
110 Previously, they could turn into spaces or disappear entirely.
111 * Perl scripts can use modules that dynamically load C libraries, like
112 XML::LibXML::SAX does.
113 * bug 153: Preserve Unicode characters in XBEL bookmark files.
114 However, Unicode in URIs (really IRIs) does not work reliably yet;
115 this is being tracked as bug 1066.
116 * bug 885: Convert xterm titles to ISO-8859-1 by default, but add an
117 option to disable this. When removing control characters from a
118 title, note the charset. Don't truncate titles to the width of the
120 * bug 1061: Correctly truncate UTF-8 titles in the tab bar.
121 * bug 1068: ELinks used to display a blank or truncated page if an
122 HTTP/1.1 server sent a compressed body with incorrect Content-Length.
123 That has now been fixed, and a new option (protocol.http.compression)
125 * Don't crash when the search-toggle-regex action is used and no regular
126 expression support is compiled in.
127 * minor bug 761: When reading bookmarks from an XBEL file, distinguish
128 attribute names from attribute values.
129 * enhancement: Updated ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-16, KOI8-R, and MacRoman.
131 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
133 * critical bug 1067: Fixed a crash in the RSS parser that ``configure
134 --enable-html-highlight'' enables. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first
135 release that had this bug.
136 * bug 1069: ELinks didn't report ECMAScript errors, even if the
137 ecmascript.error_reporting option was turned on. ELinks 0.12pre2
138 was the first release that had this bug.
143 Released on 2008-09-21. This release also included the changes listed
144 under ``ELinks 0.11.5'' below.
146 * bug 954, enhancement 952: Keep track of ECMAScript form and input
147 objects instead of constructing new ones on every access. When the
148 corresponding ELinks internal objects are destroyed, detach the
149 ECMAScript objects from them, to prevent crashes. (Bug 954 was
150 first added in ELinks 0.11.4, and the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1
151 made crashes more likely.)
152 * critical bug 1029 in user SMJS: Prefer JS_CallFunctionValue over
153 JS_CallFunction, which can crash if given a closure.
154 * critical bug 1031: Use the same JSRuntime for both user SMJS and
155 scripts on web pages, to work around SpiderMonkey bug 378918.
156 * bug 1013: Don't assume errno values are between 0 and 100000.
157 * bug 1022: Add connection.ssl.trusted_ca_file setting for GnuTLS.
158 Before this, ELinks did not trust any certificate authorities when
159 it used GnuTLS, so certificate verification always failed if you
160 enabled it at connection.ssl.cert_verify.
161 * bug 1040: Blacklist servers that don't support TLS. This reduces
162 SSL errors especially in HTTP POST requests using GnuTLS.
163 * bugs 1007, 1041: Display unrecognized lines in FTP directory
164 listings, instead of annoying the user with error messages.
165 * Hurd bug 22861: Work around select() falsely reporting exceptions
167 * minor bug 951: SpiderMonkey scripting objects used to prevent ELinks
168 from removing files from the memory cache.
169 * build bug 1044: Check whether -rdynamic works with libraries.
170 With Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 9, it reportedly doesn't.
172 Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
174 * critical: Fix crash after a tab was opened during reload. This was
175 triggered by the bug 620 fix in ELinks 0.12pre1.
176 * critical bug 1018: Avoid an assertion failure when selecting a value
177 from a pop-up menu for an input field in a tab that is no longer
178 current, e.g. because another tab was opened with elinks -remote.
179 This bug was first released in ELinks 0.12pre1.
180 * major bug 1026 in user SMJS: Protect the callback of elinks.load_uri
181 from the garbage collector. The elinks.load_uri method was added in
183 * bug 955: Reset buttons no longer run FORM/@onsubmit, and
184 ``harmless'' buttons no longer submit the form. ELinks 0.12pre1
185 was the first release that had these bugs.
186 * bug 1033: Fix memory leak in ECMAScript window.open. ELinks 0.12pre1
187 was the first release that had this bug.
188 * bug 1034: ``Content-Encoding: deflate'' allows a zlib header as
189 specified in RFC 2616.
190 * Global ECMAScript functions alert, open, and setTimeout again work
191 with SEE. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported SEE
193 * build bug 1045: Fix ``void function cannot return value'' in
194 never_for_this_site() of src/formhist/formhist.c. ELinks 0.12pre1
195 was the first release that had this bug.
200 Released on 2008-07-01. This release also included the changes listed
201 under ``ELinks 0.11.4'' below.
203 Notable new features:
205 * enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not merely UTF-8 I/O
206 of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions. Double-cell (aka
207 fullwidth) and supplementary characters work too, but combining
208 characters and right-to-left text do not. The only multibyte
209 charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the server outputs
210 e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy. See more notes
212 * enhancement 844: SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
213 the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
214 Unfortunately, Samba 3.2.0 and later seem GPLv2 incompatible.
218 * ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known
219 bugs 548 and 771 with which malicious web pages can hang ELinks,
220 and its security goals are undocumented. If you must enable
221 ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the ELinks
222 process with a sandbox of some kind.
223 * ECMAScript support no longer works with SpiderMonkey versions
224 earlier than JS1.5 RC3a.
225 * Gzip decompression support now requires zlib 1.2.0.2 or later.
226 * bugs 871, 752: The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends
227 on config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
228 different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
230 * Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new). The
231 hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
232 The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
233 previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
234 * Guile scripting reads hooks.scm rather than internal-hooks.scm.
235 (It still reads user-hooks.scm, too.)
239 * critical bug 723: fix dangling pointer crash when following a link
241 * critical bug 756: ``assertion (cached)->object.refcount >= 0 failed''
242 after HTTP proxy was changed
243 * critical bug 869: long mailcap entry buffer overflow (non-security)
245 * tabs opened by -remote now go behind existing dialogs
246 * major bug 534, enhancement 517: fix HTTP gzip and bzip2
247 decompression, and add deflate and LZMA (requires LZMA Utils)
248 * major bug 503: various fixes in parsing and updating of elinks.conf
249 * Debian bug 257762: turn terminal transparency off by default
250 * bug 770: when the user chooses to resume an HTTP download, abort the
251 automatically started one and start a new one with the right range
252 * bug 724: better parsing of escape sequences and control
253 sequences from the terminal
254 * bug 948: fix wrong UTF-8 output after the charset menu was used
255 * bug 816: convert entity references in input/@value only once
256 * bug 916: if a mailcap entry has no %s, provide the file as stdin
257 * bug 744: don't change ``//'' to ``/'' in URIs
258 * bug 766: speed up CSS
259 * bug 355: add documents displayed via ``What to do'' dialog to the
261 * encode and decode filenames in FSP URLs
262 * don't use a busy cache entry if it has expired or should be
263 reloaded. See elinks-users mail from 28 Oct 2005.
264 * several accesskey fixes
265 * in Lua: don't write to the string returned by lua_tostring
266 * minor bug 972: preserve the background color and underlining in
267 spaces when justifying
268 * minor bug 284: render closing bracket for HTML element SUB in the
269 same line; don't let it fall to the next
270 * minor: show quote characters for HTML element Q, rather than italics
271 * trivial bug 387: treat 
 inside <pre>...</pre> as a newline
272 * trivial bug 930: refresh status bar when key prefix is eaten
273 * trivial bug 776: ``elinks -remote http://elinks.cz/'' no longer clears
275 * enhancement 790: If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match
276 * enhancement: HTTP negotiate-auth using GSSAPI
277 * enhancement: FSP progress indicator and password prompt

283 * enhancement: new main actions move-cursor-line-start,
284 move-link-down-line, move-link-left-line, move-link-right-line,
286 * enhancement: new edit actions kill-word-back, move-backward-word,
288 * enhancements 687, 688: options ui.tabs.top, ui.show_menu_bar_always
289 * enhancement: highlight links as one enters link prefixes
290 * enhancement: backspace backs out the last digit of the prefix
291 * enhancement: in text type-ahead searching, don't follow current link
293 * enhancement: add support for parsing space separated CSS class
295 * enhancement: make meta refresh content attribute parsing more tolerant
296 * enhancement: recognize meta http-equiv="cache-control" even if no
298 * enhancement: mouse wheel support over GPM (contrib/gpm-wheel.patch),
299 and on BSD via moused -z 4
300 * enhancement: 24-bit truecolor mode
301 * enhancement 622: -dump-color-mode
302 * enhancement 994: treat only termios.c_cc[VERASE] as "Backspace"
303 * enhancement: support Ctrl+Alt+letter key combinations
304 * enhancement 381: reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
306 * enhancement in user SMJS: new properties/functions elinks.action,

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

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

341 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
343 * enhancement: minimalistic RSS renderer

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

410 across versions of SpiderMonkey
411 * critical bugs 674, 956: don't reuse pointers to SpiderMonkey objects
412 that may have been collected as garbage. This fix causes bug 954.
