|
This list now contains all the important changes from ELinks 0.11.0 to
|
2007-07-29 07:06:34 -04:00
|
|
|
ELinks 0.12.GIT (21052fafb0be0b87b7f376fb4edfa70304e365cc) and related
|
2007-05-06 04:00:31 -04:00
|
|
|
bug numbers. Each section is sorted by severity and grouped by topic.
|
2007-01-01 08:55:10 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list no doubt includes several changes that are not really
|
|
|
|
important enough. Please move them to the separate "should be removed
|
|
|
|
from NEWS" list below, or coalesce several changes into one entry (but
|
2007-05-06 04:00:31 -04:00
|
|
|
do list all bug numbers).

2007-05-02 04:30:33 -04:00
|
|
|
Notable new features:
|
2007-05-02 04:41:49 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2007-05-20 11:07:35 -04:00
|
|
|
* enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not merely UTF-8 I/O
|
|
|
|
of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions. Double-cell (aka
|
2007-06-17 13:31:29 -04:00
|
|
|
fullwidth) and supplementary characters work too, but combining
|
|
|
|
characters and right-to-left text do not. The only multibyte
|
|
|
|
charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the server outputs
|
|
|
|
e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy. See more notes
|
|
|
|
in features.conf.
|
2007-05-02 04:30:33 -04:00
|
|
|
* enhancement 844: SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
|
|
|
|
the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incompatibilities:
|
2007-05-02 04:41:49 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2007-05-02 04:30:33 -04:00
|
|
|
* ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known
|
2007-05-27 16:20:19 -04:00
|
|
|
bugs 548 and 771 with which malicious web pages can hang ELinks,
|
|
|
|
and its security goals are undocumented. If you must enable
|
|
|
|
ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the ELinks
|
|
|
|
process with a sandbox of some kind.
|
2007-06-27 16:40:41 -04:00
|
|
|
* ECMAScript support no longer works with SpiderMonkey versions
|
|
|
|
earlier than JS1.5 RC3a.
|
2007-06-11 03:15:43 -04:00
|
|
|
* Gzip decompression support now requires zlib 1.2.0.2 or later.
|
2007-05-06 04:00:31 -04:00
|
|
|
* bugs 871, 752: The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends
|
|
|
|
on config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
|
2007-05-02 04:30:33 -04:00
|
|
|
different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
|
|
|
|
previous versions.
|
|
|
|
* Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new). The
|
|
|
|
hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
|
|
|
|
The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
|
|
|
|
previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
|
|
|
|
* Guile scripting reads hooks.scm rather than internal-hooks.scm.
|
|
|
|
(It still reads user-hooks.scm, too.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
2007-05-06 12:55:36 -04:00
|
|
|
* bug 355: add documents displayed via ``What to do'' dialog to the
|
2007-05-02 04:30:33 -04:00
|

|
|
|
* encode and decode filenames in FSP URLs
|
2007-05-06 04:00:31 -04:00
|
|
|
* don't use a busy cache entry if it has expired or should be

The following changes should be removed from NEWS before ELinks 0.12.0
