[Lynx-dev] lynx2.8.6dev.9

[Thomas Dickey]

2004-12-30 (2.8.6dev.9)
* remove fixed limit on history[] array (report by Richard Eyre) -TD
* improve logic for highlighting links which extend to multiple lines by
  ensuring that if they cover a blank line that the following lines of the
  link will be highlighted rather than the blank line (report Hataguchi
  Takeshi).
* replace most instances of exit() by exit_immediately(), except those needed
  for the leak-checking code, to add an ifdef'd call to _nc_freeall() which
  simplifies testing with valgrind -TD
* fix definition of put_clip(), to compile in Windows environment (Hataguchi
  Takeshi).
* update da.po, et.po, hu.po, nl.po, sv.po, tr.po from
    http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* fix for mouse versus network I/O -GV
  Building the djgpp version with S-Lang and mouse-support causes network I/O
  to stop when Lynx is idle waiting for key/mouse events.  This patch adds a
  djgpp_idle_loop() function that does what getxkey() used to do; calls
  tcp_tick() to finish off closed sockets and reply to pings etc.  Tested with
  PD-curses 2.6 too, but I couldn't get mouse to work under DOS.  Not sure
  that's possible at all.
* add "Anonymous FTP Password" to Options menu, to allow user to override use
  of personal email address as the anonymous ftp password (Debian #137480) -TD
* modify LYCheckForProxyURL() to check if a colon follows a slash, which would
  make the colon not part of a URL (report/patch by Matt Kraal, Debian
  #240237).
* add test/special_urls.html -TD
* minor fixes/update test/iso8859-1.html from
        http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html
* add check for broken WU_FTPD 2.6.2-12, e.g., at ftp://ftp.pppl.gov/, and
  disable EPSV.  This is ifdef'd with BROKEN_WU_FTPD and checks version (Debian
  #66560, as well as April 2003 reports by HN, PW) -TD
* modify getfile(), etc., to ensure that following a link consisting of a
  fragment will move the cursor to the link containing the target rather than
  simply ensuring that it is visible (Debian #171312) -TD
* modify ShowInfo() to list the rendered size in bytes if the Content-Length
  is not available (Debian #61085) -TD
* modify print_wwwfile_to_fd() and void print_crawl_to_fd() to ensure that no
  trailing blanks are written (Debian #204515) -TD
* modify behavior when user attempts to toggle a radiobutton off, to make the
  message that one radio button must be selected only in novice mode (Debian
  #121520) -TD
* make the maximum number of cookies configurable in lynx.cfg, added
  MAX_COOKIES_DOMAIN, MAX_COOKIES_GLOBAL and MAX_COOKIES_BUFFER (Debian
  #152810) -TD
* reduce embedded blanks in button labels to single blanks -TD
* reduce embedded blanks in title strings to single blanks (Debian #284679) -TD
* add command-line option (-syslog-urls) and lynx.cfg settings (SYSLOG_TEXT,
  SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS) to allow syslog'ing of URLs to be optional.  This
  cannot be set from the options menu (Debian #282739) -TD
* modify HTParse() to restore a slash which may be removed during
  simplification of URLs such as "file://localhost/tmp/..".  The
  LYFillLocalFileURL() function would then append the current directory to the
  URL rather than the expected "/".  This case which happens in DIRED, was
  caused by 2.8.5dev.15 changes (Debian #285140) -TD
