2001-10-06 (2.8.5dev.3) * add CF_MKSTEMP configure macro, from vile, to check for a working mkstemp(). This will quiet some bogus warning messages in recent runtime support, but (see 2.8.3) does not affect the security of temporary files in lynx -TD * updated CF_PATH_SYNTAX configure macro, from vile, to handle leading "\\" in a win32 pathname -TD * for configurations that provide scrollbar, add a checkbox to the Options menu to enable or disable it -TD * modify LYGetHostByName() in HTTCP.c to use the threaded _WINDOWS_NSL code for all Cygwin machines. The ability to interrupt nameserver lookup has not worked in Win98 using the Cygwin port, despite defining _WINDOWS_NSL. It looks like the threaded code was only for WinNT. At least under Cygwin, that code also seems to work fine under Win98 -DK * add FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED as a possible value for DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE in lynx.cfg as well as keypad_mode in .lynxrc -TD * add NUMBER_FIELDS_ON_LEFT and NUMBER_LINKS_ON_LEFT to lynx.cfg, use these to control where field- and link-numbering is placed. Caveat: there are some cases where fields that do popup's are truncated, e.g., in the Options menu, when right-alignment is used -TD * support for DJGPP's two forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and /dev/[a-zA-z]/ -DK * add samples/lynxdump script, to illustrate how to use lynx -dump with no link references (prompted by discussion with LV) -TD * add samples/keepviewer script, to illustrate how to retain a temporary file for use in an external viewer -TD * add ifdef's in is_url() to avoid recognizing URLs if they are disabled in the given configuration, i.e., bibp, finger, ftp, gopher, news (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD * modify LYrefresh() to take into account whether a popup window exists, so that a search prompt will not overwrite a popup. This bug was introduced by the curses pads (reported by Felicia Neff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Fr3dY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) -TD * add note in keystroke_help.html about CTRL-V as literal-next (lnext) for users who are unfamiliar with stty -TD * add NcFTP-style ftp-URLs which are supported by Netscape and wget (request by Martin Mokrejs) -TD * add traces in LYReadCFG.c and LYrcFile.c to report lines which are not found in the symbol table, to help diagnose when a user adds lynx.cfg information to .lynxrc -TD * define additional -trace-mask option, 8=config -TD * modify LYtouchline() to avoid using wredrawln() for ncurses, since the LYwin variable may be a pad much wider than the screen, which is not handled properly (report by Karl Eichwalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) -TD * correct beginning configure script, which was supposed to remove config.cache, but did not, due to a misplaced line when it was added 1998-06-04 (prompted by a report by Fr3dY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that the checks for srand/rand did not work) -TD
