        http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html

2006-01-22 (2.8.6dev.17)
* improve EXP_JAPANESEUTF8_SUPPORT -TH
  + correct an ifdef in HTMIME.c
  + correct the behavior of encoding a text in input element, 
    when the type is hidden and the text is japanese encoded utf-8.
  + correct "//TRANSLIT" position in iconv_open() parameter.
* remove redundant size-check in change for HText_trimHightext() in 2.8.5dev.8
  to fix highlighting for this case:
    <a href>Line 1<p>Line 2<p>Line 3</a>
  (report by Andrew Belov).
* add U+213B FAX to def7_uni.tbl (Debian #344275)
* adjust anchor extent to discount trailing blank which is trimmed when
  rendering.  If the blank is not trimmed, link highlighting in color-style
  will show a spurious character (report by Karl-Heinz Weirich) -TD
* fixes to source-view of ftp:// and file:// URLs, i.e., eliminate redundant
  PRE's, add DOCTYPE and meta tags (Debian #347989) -TD
* modify makefile.msc to ease scripted building of various configurations
  without needing to edit that file -TD
* fixes to allow building with Visual C++ .NET 2003 -TD
* modify configure script checks for gettext to supply include- and lib-paths,
  e.g., to work on partly broken platforms such as FreeBSD -TD
* modify parsing of filename from Content-Disposition so that the name is not
  truncated on embedded whitespace.  For most systems, the blanks will be
  retained.  For VMS and MSDOS, the blanks are translated to underscores
  (Debian #291716) -TD
* add a range-check for references to the style cache -Andrew Belov
* modify fmt_tempname() to avoid the possibility of long random sequences that
  do not yield an unused filename (report by FLWM) -TD
* modify install rules for lynx.cfg to allow for pathnames on OS/2 EMX that
  begin with a drive letter rather than a slash -TD
* move scripts that are not part of the configure script into scripts
  subdirectory: cfg_defs.sh, cfg_edit, fixtext.sh -TD
* improve workaround for line-drawing characters with font-switching by
  checking if the loaded font has line-drawing characters in the same positions
  as the terminal description, rather than simply ignoring line-drawing when
  the codeset differs (report by Karl-Heinz Weirich) -TD
* fix some ifdef's that did not work when disabling all features -TD
* fix a typo in LYMap.c from Debian #335593 changes (report by Jens
  Schleusener) -TD
* really remove pointer to moxienet (report by Stef Caunter).
