SpiderMonkey was updated to mozjs24. If you want to build elinks
with ecmascript support, you must compile using g++ with -fpermissive .
There is a lot of warnings.
There are some memleaks in ecmascript code, especially related to JSAutoCompartment.
I don't know yet, where and how to free it.
Debian does not support mozjs24, so I'm going to gradually update SpiderMonkey version.
This patch fixes an issue whereby a newline character appearing within
a hidden input field is incorrectly reinterpreted as a space character.
The patch handles almost all cases, and includes a test case.
15/18 tests pass, but the remainder currently fail due to the fact
that ELinks does not currently support textarea scripting.
Anything that frees struct form_view must now call the new function
ecmascript_detach_form_view. This function should then clear out any
dangling pointers, but that has not yet been implemented.
Anything that frees or reallocates struct form_state must now call the
new functions ecmascript_detach_form_state or ecmascript_moved_form_state.
These functions should then clear out any dangling pointers, but that has
not yet been implemented.
Use it for the actual I/O only. Previously, defining CONFIG_UTF8 and
enabling UTF-8 used to force many strings to the UTF-8 charset
regardless of the terminal charset option. Now, those strings always
follow the terminal charset. This fixes bug 914 which was caused
because _() returned strings in the terminal charset and functions
then assumed they were in UTF-8. This reduction in the effects of
UTF-8 I/O may also simplify future testing.
The configure script no longer recognizes "CONFIG_UTF_8=yes" lines
in custom features.conf files. They will have to be changed to
"CONFIG_UTF8=yes". This incompatibility was deemed acceptable
because no released version of ELinks supports CONFIG_UTF_8.
The --enable-utf-8 option was not renamed.
form_state.state_cell is no longer used for FC_TEXT, FC_PASSWORD, nor FC_FILE.
Instead, get_link_cursor_offset() computes the cell with utf8_ptr2chars
(a new function) or utf8_ptr2cells. This shouldn't slow down ELinks too
much, as it's done only for the selected link and only once per redraw.
The left side of a scrolled input field is always aligned at a
character boundary. The right side might not be.
The new comments describe how the members were apparently intended to
be used. However, the implementation does not actually work when
CONFIG_UTF_8 is defined, and the current semantics do not even allow
an efficient implementation of long (mostly scrolled out) strings.
The menu shows a list of all fields of a form, with the possibility to jump
right to that form field when selecting an entry. The menu text is the
basic form field label "Radio button", "Text field", etc. with the form
field name or alt text as the right menu text.
It introduces a new main action called link-form-menu with no default
binding.
