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

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

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

282 rest before propagating
283 * enhancement: make uninstall
284 * experimental enhancements: --with-python=DIRECTORY, --with-gc=DIRECTORY
285 * experimental enhancement: Win32 port (build with MinGW MSYS)
287 Changes in the experimental ECMAScript support:
289 * disabled by default, as mentioned under ``Incompatibilities'' above
290 * execute event-handler scripts as function bodies, so ``return''
291 statements work as intended
292 * fix error ``forms.namedItem is not a function''
293 * enhancement: SEE ECMAScript backend, an alternative to SpiderMonkey
294 * enhancement: handling onsubmit
295 * workaround: window.open remembers the last few URLs and doesn't
296 reopen them when incremental rendering reruns the onload script
297 * enhancement: better handling of form.action assignments
298 * enhancement: form[x] looks up controls also by 'id', not only 'name'
299 * enhancement: added document.location.href, input.selectedIndex,

306 * Improve listing of articles for groups
308 Changes in the experimental SGML/DOM implementation:
