* All arguments must now be given as options.
* Documented.
* chmod +x in Git.
* Do not distribute files whose contents should depend on what the
configure script found: config.h, config.log, config.status,
features.log, Makefile.config, contrib/conv/w3m2links.awk,
contrib/lua/hooks.lua, doc/man/man1/elinks.1.
* Do not distribute other files that configure will rebuild anyway:
src/intl/gettext/ref-add.sed, src/intl/gettext/ref-del.sed.
But do distribute contrib/elinks.spec, because it specifies how
to run configure, and only the @VERSION@ varies in it.
* Do not distribute the empty directory po/.deps.
* Save the commit ID into .git/HEAD in the tar file.
* Compress the *.tar.gz and *.tar.bz2 from the same *.tar file.
* Instead of *.tar.gz.md5 and *.tar.bz2.md5, generate a *.md5 file
that contains md5sums for *.tar, *.tar.gz, and *.tar.bz2.
* Use md5sum --binary for the sake of Windows.
This patch changes normalize_uri() to no replace "//" with "/" in URIs. This
fixed this bug but will also lead to possibility that duplicate entries can
exist in ELinks' cache. ELinks might be able to detect in another way by
hashing the content or something.
[ From attachment 310 of bug 744. --KON ]
Previously, an empty string as spidermonkeydir or luadir meant
that the LIBS and CFLAGS variables should be used unchanged. A few
commits ago however, the configure script was changed to require
test -f "$spidermonkeydir$spidermonkeyinclude/jsapi.h" and
test -f "$luadir/include/lua$suffix/lua.h" to succeed. These
commands interpret spidermonkeydir="" and luadir="" as the root
directory. This behaviour was inconsistent with the part that
decides whether to add the directory to *_LIBS and *_CFLAGS or not.
The inconsistency could be solved in two ways. Either (a) add an
exception so that the test -f is skipped if the variable is empty,
or (b) treat an empty string as the root directory throughout.
Because the Makefile of SpiderMonkey always installs to a subdirectory
of the specified include directory, and ELinks uses #include <jsapi.h>
without specifying that subdirectory in source code, it seems unlikely
that the SpiderMonkey header files would ever be in the default
include path. I am therefore implementing solution (b) here.
I suppose similar considerations apply to Lua but did not check that
carefully.
The SpiderMonkey support in ELinks now uses JS_GetReservedSlot,
which was added in SpiderMonkey 1.5 RC3a, released on 2001-05-11.
So ELinks no longer supports earlier versions of SpiderMonkey.
However, be careful not to claim that ELinks needs "SpiderMonkey
1.5 RC3a or later", because we haven't tested 1.5 RC3a.
(I guess we didn't test zlib 1.2.0.2 either... oh, well.)
I'm not sure if JS_GetReservedSlot exists in all versions of the SpiderMonkey.
IMHO the configure script should check for JS_GetReservedSlot.
The patch in the attachment.
The previous code cast the integer (long actually) to void * and gave
that to JS_SetPrivate. This did not work because JS_SetPrivate
expects pointers to be aligned and replaces the least significant bit
with a tag. By using JS_SetReservedSlot instead, we get control of
the jsval conversions and can store the integer properly.
