1.69 stable for DOS
----
Release date: 11th December 2000
Bug fixes: Setup now actually runs in fullscreen mode.
Connection: keep-alive now actually works.
Memory leaks on pages with forms were totally fixed (Arachne
now doesn't allocate conventional memory for HTML page at all).
Tables shouldn't grow incredibly wide any more (eg. CNN.com
in Arachne 1.68).
"+" is valid e-mail address character, so it is no longer
allowed as separator on TO:, CC: or BCC: field.
Opensource mail viewer Insight was upgraded to version 3.69.
Insight 3.69 creates more intelligent DOS filenames for
both named and unnamed attachments and handles CC: header
field properly (includes it in replies and forwarded mails, etc)
Arachne should be able to follow URLs with & entity, as
well as malformed URLs with URI (filename) starting with "../".
find: pseudoprotocol was repaired.
Improvements: Arachne 1.69 requires 2 KB less DOS memory then 1.68.
In new screen layout, you can see full document title on
status bar if you move mouse over partial title.
New Tips & Tricks box was added to PPP dialer setup screen
(Clarence will definitely hate that option, I am sure ;-)
<TABLE BACKGROUND> tag implemented (see new EXAMPLES\TABLES.HTM)
(Unfinished: Table and cell backgrounds cannot be transparent
yet - this will take slightly more time than <TABLE BACKGROUND>
which took cca 3 minutes to implement, BTW it is still not
supported in Opera 4.x ;-)
<BLOCKQUOTE> rendering was improved to conform Netscape
rendering (==empty line in front of blockquote).
Arachne message composer is now able to insert Bcc: field
to outgoing message (warning: it is not guaranteed, that Bcc:
will be removed from message header - some SMTP relays are
known to remove these fields automaticaly, some not).
New ARACHNE.CFG variable Editor allows you to specify external
HTML editor (external message editing is planned for future)
It is not possible to search internet just by typing one or more
words to URL input field (same as find: pseudoprotocol).
Changes: Google.com was choosed as prefered search engine for Arachne.
Maximum hostname length in URL was increased to 48 characters.
Yours faithfuly,
Michael Polak,
Arachne developer
