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 * Really retry forever when connection.retries = 0.
29 * enhancement: Session-specific options. Any options changed with
30 toggle-* actions no longer affect other tabs or other terminals.
31 * enhancement: Domain-specific options. Use set_domain in elinks.conf
32 to e.g. disable cookies for google.com. The option manager window
33 does not yet support this.
34 * enhancement 867: Use bracketed paste mode on xterm. This requires
35 xterm patch #228 or later configured with --enable-readline-mouse.
36 * enhancement 824: Experimental support for combining characters.
37 See features.conf for details.
38 * enhancement: Add a new entry Link Info under Link main menu.
39 * enhancement: New option protocol.http.compression.
40 * enhancement: Indicate backgrounded downloads using an unused led.

43 The following changes should be removed from NEWS before ELinks 0.13.0
44 is released. They are currently listed here just to show that they
45 have already been considered.
47 * Fixed bugs that were not in previous versions:

57 This list now contains all the important changes from ELinks 0.11.0 to
58 ELinks 0.12.GIT (4672bad9c73321019c1a2a7695761b8188bd1a8f) and related
59 bug numbers. Each section is sorted by severity and grouped by topic.
61 The list no doubt includes several changes that are not really
62 important enough. Please move them to the separate "should be removed
63 from NEWS" list below, or coalesce several changes into one entry (but
64 do list all bug numbers).
65 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
69 * enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not merely UTF-8 I/O
70 of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions. Double-cell (aka
71 fullwidth) and supplementary characters work too, but combining
72 characters and right-to-left text do not. The only multibyte
73 charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the server outputs
74 e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy. See more notes
76 * enhancement 844: SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
77 the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
81 * ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known
82 bugs 548 and 771 with which malicious web pages can hang ELinks,
83 and its security goals are undocumented. If you must enable
84 ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the ELinks
85 process with a sandbox of some kind.
86 * ECMAScript support no longer works with SpiderMonkey versions
87 earlier than JS1.5 RC3a.
88 * Gzip decompression support now requires zlib 1.2.0.2 or later.
89 * bugs 871, 752: The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends
90 on config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
91 different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
93 * Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new). The
94 hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
95 The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
96 previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
97 * Guile scripting reads hooks.scm rather than internal-hooks.scm.
98 (It still reads user-hooks.scm, too.)
102 * critical bug 723: fix dangling pointer crash when following a link
104 * critical bug 756: ``assertion (cached)->object.refcount >= 0 failed''
105 after HTTP proxy was changed
106 * critical bug 869: long mailcap entry buffer overflow (non-security)
108 * tabs opened by -remote now go behind existing dialogs
109 * major bug 534, enhancement 517: fix HTTP gzip and bzip2
110 decompression, and add deflate and LZMA (requires LZMA Utils)
111 * major bug 503: various fixes in parsing and updating of elinks.conf
112 * Debian bug 257762: turn terminal transparency off by default
113 * bug 724: better parsing of escape sequences and control
114 sequences from the terminal
115 * bug 948: fix wrong UTF-8 output after the charset menu was used
116 * bug 816: convert entity references in input/@value only once
117 * bug 916: if a mailcap entry has no %s, provide the file as stdin
118 * bug 744: don't change ``//'' to ``/'' in URIs
119 * bug 766: speed up CSS
120 * bug 355: add documents displayed via ``What to do'' dialog to the
122 * encode and decode filenames in FSP URLs
123 * don't use a busy cache entry if it has expired or should be
124 reloaded. See elinks-users mail from 28 Oct 2005.
125 * several accesskey fixes
126 * in Lua: don't write to the string returned by lua_tostring
127 * minor bug 972: preserve the background color and underlining in
128 spaces when justifying
129 * minor bug 284: render closing bracket for HTML element SUB in the
130 same line; don't let it fall to the next
131 * minor: show quote characters for HTML element Q, rather than italics
132 * trivial bug 387: treat 
 inside <pre>...</pre> as a newline
133 * trivial bug 930: refresh status bar when key prefix is eaten
134 * trivial bug 776: ``elinks -remote http://elinks.cz/'' no longer clears
136 * enhancement 121: if a mailcap entry indicates 'copiousoutput', ELinks
137 itself acts as a pager
138 * enhancement 790: If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match
139 * enhancement: HTTP negotiate-auth using GSSAPI
140 * enhancement: FSP progress indicator and password prompt
141 * enhancement: autocreate directories needed to download a file
142 * enhancement: ``Add server'' button in the cookie manager
143 * enhancement 887: ``Save'' in the cookie manager now saves cookies
145 * enhancement 145: internal clipboard support
146 * enhancement: new main actions move-cursor-line-start,
147 move-link-down-line, move-link-left-line, move-link-right-line,
149 * enhancement: new edit actions kill-word-back, move-backward-word,
151 * enhancements 687, 688: options ui.tabs.top, ui.show_menu_bar_always
152 * enhancement: highlight links as one enters link prefixes
153 * enhancement: backspace backs out the last digit of the prefix
154 * enhancement: in text type-ahead searching, don't follow current link
156 * enhancement: add support for parsing space separated CSS class
158 * enhancement: make meta refresh content attribute parsing more tolerant
159 * enhancement: recognize meta http-equiv="cache-control" even if no
161 * enhancement: mouse wheel support over GPM (contrib/gpm-wheel.patch),
162 and on BSD via moused -z 4
163 * enhancement: 24-bit truecolor mode
164 * enhancement 622: -dump-color-mode
165 * enhancement 994: treat only termios.c_cc[VERASE] as "Backspace"
166 * enhancement: support Ctrl+Alt+letter key combinations
167 * enhancement 381: reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
169 * enhancement in user SMJS: new properties/functions elinks.action,
170 elinks.execute, elinks.globhist, elinks.load_uri, elinks.vs
172 Build system and compile-time errors (ignore if you don't build ELinks):
174 * serious Debian bug 464384: fix warnings in alignof, ssl_connect, and
175 printing of off_t values
176 * bug 725: fix version checking for Ruby in 'configure'

178 rest before propagating
179 * enhancement: make uninstall
180 * experimental enhancements: --with-python=DIRECTORY, --with-gc=DIRECTORY
181 * experimental enhancement: Win32 port (build with MinGW MSYS)
183 Changes in the experimental ECMAScript support:
185 * disabled by default, as mentioned under ``Incompatibilities'' above
186 * execute event-handler scripts as function bodies, so ``return''
187 statements work as intended
188 * fix error ``forms.namedItem is not a function''
189 * enhancement: SEE ECMAScript backend, an alternative to SpiderMonkey
190 * enhancement: handling onsubmit
191 * workaround: window.open remembers the last few URLs and doesn't
192 reopen them when incremental rendering reruns the onload script
193 * enhancement: better handling of form.action assignments
194 * enhancement: form[x] looks up controls also by 'id', not only 'name'
195 * enhancement: added document.location.href, input.selectedIndex,

204 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
206 * enhancement: minimalistic RSS renderer

208 application/xhtml+xml and application/docbook+xml. It doesn't yet
209 support arbitrary XML though.

332 is run only by "make test" rather than "make".
333 * support much longer locale-specific timestamps when formatting a
334 directory listing. LC_TIME=fi_FI.UTF-8 now works. Let's treat
335 this as part of the UTF-8 support.

338 * Really retry forever when connection.retries = 0
