http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html
2013-11-28 (2.8.8pre.1)
2013-11-28 (2.8.8dev.17)
* revise/update counts in README.metrics, using a script replacing a manual
procedure -TD
* amend check for magic header bytes from 2.8.8dev.3 for deflate to limit it
to the 3-bit block header described in RFC-1951 -TD
* install the sample-files in the dpkg test-script -TD
* add configure option --with-cfg-path and environment variables LYNX_CFG_PATH
to provide search-list capability for the .cfg and .lss files -TD
* modify configuration of COLOR_STYLE value in lynx.cfg, allowing multiple
filenames to be specified and providing those as choices in the O'ptions
menu (Debian #404893) -TD
* updates for lynx_help_main.html -TD
* update URLs in about_lynx.html -TD
* add internal URL LYNXEDITMAP:, which is (like LYNXKEYMAP:) generated,
making that the primary page for field-editing help -TD
* improve DOSPATH-related logic in HomeEnv(), making this work properly with
Windows Vista and 7. The feature is needed to read Lynx's bookmarks file
from the user's Personal shell-folder (report by Manuel Nunez) -TD
* modify samples/*.bat to work when running in a directory whose pathname
contains spaces -TD
* reduce required privileges for installing in lynx.iss -TD
* improve sed expression appended to help_files.sed to fix a case for the
edit-helpfiles which left a .gz.gz suffix for compressed filename URLs,
overlooked since 2.8.1pre.3 -TD
* modify logic in lkcstring_to_lkc() to allow named keys, e.g., from curses,
to be used consistently in a KEYMAP directive -TD
* add version-info to LYIcon.rc -TD
* add symbols in Keysym_Strings[] and table in setup_vtXXX_keymap() for
function keys 2-12, to improve keymap-configurability -TD
* change extra-key #define's in LYStrings.h to enum -TD
* cleanup pre-2.7 debris from LYStrings.c and LYStrings.h -TD
* modify tables for key-bindings and edit-bindings to allow them to be reloaded
to their initial values -TD
* add check in get_connection() for ftp-connections to ensure that a password
from a URL is non-empty -TD
* add samples/oldlynx.bat to demonstrate how to use non-color-style -TD
* add NSIS script, to allow building Windows installer via cross-compiling -TD
* fixes to configure script and makefiles to work with empty $prefix, e.g.,
as used in MSYS -TD
* improve configure check for sleep() for cross-compiling to MinGW -TD
* modify configure check for inet_addr() for cross-compiling to MinGW -TD
* add configure check for Win32 flavor of PDCurses when cross-compiling to
MinGW using the --with-screen=pdcurses option -TD
* improve color-style simulation of old color scheme by coloring input fields
with color #5 -TD
* correct search logic to match links which are wrapped on the right margin.
Previous fixes to highlight arbitrarily long links overlooked this case
(Debian #546264) -TD
* modify the INFO page, normally bound to =, to show decoded strings for
URLs, e.g., which use %xy hexadecimal encoding. The decoded strings are
shown on the line following the encoded URLs if the strings are different.
Also if display-charset is UTF-8, modify -dump References URLs to show
the corresponding decoded strings for consistency with the text which is
already in UTF-8. Other URLs such as that shown in the status area are
shown in encoded form per previous discussion which recommending doing this
to address phishing attempts (Debian #398274) -TD
* simplify file-URLs shown in reference list of -dump by trimming unnecessary
localhost, e.g.,
file://localhost/XXX
becomes
file:///XXX
(Debian #334787) -TD
* extend the Bad HTML warning feature to -dump option when the -stderr
option is also set (Debian #398304) -TD
* add -list_inline option, which modifies -dump output to put links inline with
the text rather than in a list at the end of the dump (Debian #584080) -TD
* add clarification in manpage regarding -force_html option versus -dump or
-crawl (Debian #254603, Debian #295273) -TD
* improve manpage descriptions of -reload, -get_data and -post_data (Debian
#350853) -TD
* modify manpage synopsis to make it clearer that Lynx accepts more than one
path and/or URL on the command-line. The paragraph explaining this was
added in 2.8.6dev.5 (Debian #350853) -TD
* update COPYHEADER, clarifying license issues -TD
* minor change to Content-Length logic from 2.8.8dev.13 to work with Amazon's
cookies (Debian #720541) -TD
* improve warning message for GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNER_NOT_FOUND (Debian #695653) -TD
