===============================================================================
Changes since Lynx 2.8 release
===============================================================================
2016-04-26 (2.8.9dev.9)
* add workaround for servers such as https://www.xing.com which fail to close
the connection when they finish sending compressed data. This relies on
the content-length (report by Klaus-Peter Wegge) -TD
* restore fix to filter out left-to-right marks which was broken in refactoring
in 2.8.9dev.2, and also filter out right-to-left marks (Debian #808949) -TD
* fix build for current gnutls configuration which dropped the
gnutls_protocol_set_priority function (reported by Axel Beckert, Andreas
Metzler) -TD
* modify CF_LD_RPATH_OPT configure macro, changing FreeBSD case to use
-Wl,-rpath rather than -rpath option. According to FreeBSD #178732, either
works since FreeBSD 4.x; however scons does not accept anything except the
-Wl,-rpath form -TD
* add null-pointer checks for ssl_ctx in HTTP.c in case of error from calls
on SSL_CTX_new (report by Yuan Jochen Kang) -TD
* update config.guess (2016-01-01), config.sub (2016-01-01)
* update da.po, fi.po, tr.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
2015-12-18 (2.8.9dev.8)
* fix regression in SSL support (report by Axel Beckert) -TD
* update et.po, fr.po, vi.po, zh_CN.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
2015-12-18 (2.8.9dev.7)
* make the HTTP version configurable, defaulting to "1.0" (HTTP/1.0) as
HTTP_PROTOCOL, and make it changeable in the options menu -TD
* switch HTTP version to 1.1, adding an explicit "close" to work around
the pitfall of persistent connections. This is to work around a selective
reading of RFC 2068 by duckduckgo.com - see
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2015-12/index.html
-Axel Beckert
* fix a potential null dereference in tidy_tls.c reported by Coverity -TD
* extend advanced mode by showing field names in forms in the status line
(suggested by TG) -TD
* fix some typos found by lintian -Axel Beckert
* correct buffer size in pretty_html() function of LYKeymap.c -TG
* add support for some HTML5 elements -Kihara Hideto
Using this change, you can jump to <section id="speakers">.
(The addition in src{0,1}_HTMLDTD.txt is copied from DIV.)
<section>, <article>, <main>, <aside>, <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <figure>
* improve configure check for extended curses functions, needed for compiling
with ncursesw on OSX, in particular when configuring with ncurses6 (report
by Tom Wyant) -TD
* set SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY in OpenSSL configuration, completing work needed for
Debian #707059 -TD
* correct description used for "K" vs "k" key binding in manpage -TD
* adopt some of the patches from Debian lynx package:
+ add Delete key usage to manpage (patch by Denis Briand, Debian #74358)
+ add $(LDFLAGS) when building makeuctb (patch by Atsuhito Kohda).
+ add NO_BUILDSTAMP symbol to appease
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsFromCPPMacros
+ add -n option to gzip when making gzip'd helpfiles (patch by Andreas
Metzler).
+ add support for client certificates (patch by Simon Kainz, Debian #797901).
* use POSIX locale when sorting entries in cfg_defs.h (patch by Reiner Hermann,
Debian #792770).
* move homepage for Lynx from
http://lynx.isc.org
to
http://lynx.invisible-island.net
because ISC has ended support -TD
* change "GNU Public License" to "GNU General Public License" for consistency
(report by Axel Beckert) -TD
* free a use-after-free in scan_cookie_sublist (Redhat #1120925) -TG
* updates for configure macros from ncurses and xterm -TD
* fix for gnutls logic to support rehandshake on negotiation for optional
client certificate, e.g., for https://contributors.debian.org (patch by
Simon Kainz, Debian #797059).
* update ca.po, sv.po, et.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
* use gnutls_set_default_priority() to simplify algorithm priorities in the
gnutls configuration as well as track occassional changes in that library
(patch by Andreas Metzler, Debian #789189, Debian #784430).
* correct logic in LYsetRcValue() from 2.8.8dev.13, which would free the wrong
pointer if the input had leading blanks (patch by Ruda Moura).
* fix CF_CHECK_SIZEOF autoconf macro to work when its working variables have
been preset to an empty value (report by Andrew Arensburger) -TD
* update config.guess (2015-10-21), config.sub (2015-08-20)
2015-05-06 (2.8.9dev.6)
* add a note about OCSP to url-support documentation (Debian #745835) -TD
* change defaults for SSL prompts when a problem is detected to "no" (Debian
#783477) -TD
* if an SSL error message is too long for the screen-width, trim it with an
ellipsis so that the "(y)" part of the prompt for continuing will be visible
(Debian #783476) -TD
* update test-packages to use ncurses6 test-packages -TD
* modify configure script to check for ncurses ".pc" files first before looking
for the "ncurses*-config" scripts -TD
* modify configure script to accept a release-number for the ncurses/ncursesw
values of the "--with-screen" option, e.g., "--with-screen=ncursesw6" -TD
* cosmetic fixes for autoconf macros to avoid vi-workaround -TD
* update da.po, et.po, fr.po, nl.po, vi.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
* regenerated lynx.pot, sent to translation project -TD
* update config.guess (2015-03-04), config.sub (2015-03-08)
2015-04-12 (2.8.9dev.5)
* add codes U+200A, U+200B to def7_uni.tbl (prompted by report by Sven
Hartrumpf, as well as referring to
https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html) -TD
* restore large buffer-size from follow_link_number() which was altered in
2.8.8dev.10 changes to use LYgetBString() (Debian #699068) -TD, -TG
* loosen the check in IsOurFile() to permit hard-linked files
(Debian #429606) -TD
* update ca.po, cs.po, et.po, fi.po, fr.po, id.po, nl.po, pt_BR.po, ru.po,
sl.po, tr.po, vi.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
2015-01-25 (2.8.9dev.4)
* modify check after gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() to use
gnutls_certificate_verification_status_print() when available, to give
potentially more details on certficate revocation (patch by Andreas Metzler,
Debian #745835, Debian #752610)
2015-01-05 (2.8.9dev.3)
* correct shortcut for "Send To" link used in Inno Setup script, broken in
2.8.8dev.15 -TD
* amend change made in 2.8.8dev.10 to LYLocal.c get_filename(), ensuring that

* correct a bug in the map_string_to_keysym() function introduced in
2.8.8dev.17: as used via the remap() function, this returns the curses
code for a special key rather than Lynx's internal code (Debian #769601) -TD
* add checks when translating from UTF-8 to Unicode, to ensure that only the
shortest encoding is accepted. Other/longer encodings are mapped to the UCS
replacement character as in xterm (Debian #763268) -TD
* modify LYExpandHostForURL() to call HTGetAddrInfo(), allowing DNS lookups
for IPv6 to be interrupted, e.g., by typing ^G. This was a path overlooked

generally are using incomplete dependencies - in turn introducing lots of
duplication. filter out the duplicates.
+ CF_CHECK_CFLAGS: workaround for ash-shell
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS: improve workaround for weak-linkage, seems to fix tests
with NetBSD 6.1
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER: cleanup the -no-gcc option which was leftover from
testing - prcs does not build with this option.

releases.
+ CF_SUBDIR_PATH: add /usr/pkg and /opt/local to help configuring with
pkgsrc and macports -TD
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE: Minix3.2 ifdef's the POSIX.1-2001 functions inside
_NETBSD_SOURCE, even though it was released 2012-02-29 - appease it. At
the same time, turn on the verbose flag to show that most platforms need
platform-specific define's to get POSIX (sic). Also, add case for UnixWare
(report/discussion with Mark Ryan).
+ CF_X_ATHENA: add --with-Xaw3dxft option

an "Accept:" line sent to the server (Debian #725178) -TD
* trim unexpected query-parameters from file: URIs when checking for their
presentation and compression types. Not all browsers do this, etc. -TD
* modify forms-submit to trim query-parameters from the action URI if it
happens to be a file-URL. IE and some other browsers do this. The RFCs
do not mention this since forms are an HTTP feature (Debian #738121) -TD

Previous fixes to highlight arbitrarily long links overlooked this case
(Debian #546264) -TD

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

LYNews.c since those do use LYgetStr's limits as it was designed. Other
calls generally did not need those limits -TD

for pathnames to use the directory of lynx.exe
+ add check for unsafe filenames in DOS/Windows, e.g., those that correspond
to a device.
* update command-line syntax for the blat mailer, to work with blat 2.6.2 -TD

non-experimental status -TD
* change default for --enable-addrlist-page configure option to enabled -TD

* amend implementation of "readonly" attribute from 2.8.7dev.10 to distinguish
it from "disabled" (report by David Paschal) -TD
* amend change to cookie prefix matching from Debian #460108. The discussion
overlooked this definition from RFC 2109:
Path Defaults to the path of the request URL that generated the
Set-Cookie response, up to, but not including, the
right-most /.
In that context, lynx was correct to extract the default "path" attribute
of
http://jukebox/cgi-bin/disorder
as
/cgi-bin
rather than
/cgi-bin/disorder
as asserted in the report. However, lynx warned unnecessarily (according to
the bug report) about the given path attribute. Deciding whether to suppress
this warning is under control of the user via the lynx.cfg setting

directory, e.g., ~/foo -TD
* add an Options menu checkbox to tell if Lynx should send a user-agent string.
Unless the useragent restriction is set, the default for this checkbox is
off, so that Lynx will not send the string. The corresponding setting,
send_useragent, may be saved to ~/.lynxrc, but normally is not -TD
