||||
|
||||
* Notable new features
|
||||
- (unfinished enhancement 822) UTF-8 as terminal charset: not
|
||||
merely UTF-8 I/O of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions.
|
||||
Double-cell (aka fullwidth) and non-BMP 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.
|
||||
- (enhancement 844) SMB protocol using libsmbclient. This replaces
|
||||
the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
|
||||
* Incompatibilities
|
||||
- ECMAScript support is now disabled by default. It has known bugs
|
||||
(548, 755, 771) with which malicious web pages can crash or 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.
|
||||
- (bug 871) The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends on
|
||||
config options. This change makes elinks.conf portable between
|
||||
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.
|
||||
* Miscellaneous
|
||||
- (bugfix) If ELinks logs debug information to a file, it now opens
|
||||
that in binary mode.
|
||||
- (enhancement 752) Documentation updates
|
||||
- (enhancement 381) Reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
|
||||
other arrays.
|
||||
- (bugfix) Secure file saving: restore umask after _all_ failure
|
||||
conditions
|
||||
- (enhancement) Reject invalid UTF-8 input from documents and
|
||||
terminals.
|
||||
* Changes in terminal support
|
||||
- (enhancement) Mouse wheel support on BSD via moused -z 4
|
||||
- (enhancement) Support for mouse wheel over GPM
|
||||
- (experimental, new feature) UTF-8 as terminal charset: not merely
|
||||
UTF-8 I/O of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions.
|
||||
Double-cell (aka fullwidth) and non-BMP 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.
|
||||
- (bugfix) Kill the ESC timer when blocking the terminal.
|
||||
- (bugfix 724) Better parsing of escape sequences and control
|
||||
sequences from the terminal.
|
||||
- (bugfix) Decode UTF-8 only from bytes, not from codes of special
|
||||
keys.
|
||||
- (bugfix) Do not call toupper with potentially out-of-range values.
|
||||
- (new feature) 24-bit truecolor mode
|
||||
- (enhancement) "Resize terminal" tries to use the window size
|
||||
increment.
|
||||
- (new feature) Support Ctrl+Alt+letter key combinations.
|
||||
- (bugfix) Subprocess forked for SIGTSTP calls _exit, not exit.
|
||||
- (enhancement) Turn terminal transparency off by default.
|
||||
- (bugfix 871) Lock down the numbering of terminal.*.colors
|
||||
regardless of config options. This change makes elinks.conf
|
||||
portable between different configurations but unfortunately not
|
||||
between this and previous versions.
|
||||
* Changes in cookies and bookmarks
|
||||
- (new feature) "Add server" button in the cookie manager.
|
||||
- (enhancement) Tell the user how to move bookmarks.
