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

259 * enhancement: HTTP negotiate-auth using GSSAPI
260 * enhancement: FSP progress indicator and password prompt
261 * enhancement: autocreate directories needed to download a file

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

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

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

322 * Improve listing of articles for groups
324 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
326 * enhancement: minimalistic RSS renderer
