http://elinks.cz/community.html says bugs should be reported
to elinks-users but patches should be sent to elinks-dev.
I guess elinks-users is more appropriate here.
This is so that contrib/mkdist need not delete that explicitly
(although it still does, in order to do the right thing with
a few older versions too).
The file could apparently be removed altogether (see recent
emails on elinks-dev) but a small change like this is less
likely to cause any surprises.
Because http://elinks.cz/release.html is made from this file,
I think we'll have to list both 0.11.4.GIT and 0.12pre1.GIT
even though it's a bit difficult to explain which fixes are
in which releases.
gcc-4.3 -O2 was complaining that http_got_header may use uninitialized
version.major and version.minor. That indeed happened with HTTP/0.9
servers, and the PRE_HTTP_1_1(version) check then had an undefined
result, so http->close could remain 0 even though it should have
become 1; fortunately, it was then set to 1 anyway, because there was
no Content-Length header. The undefined version was also saved in
http->recv_version, but it appears nothing ever reads that. So in the
end, the bug did not cause any symptoms at runtime, but the warning
broke the build on gcc-4.3 if ELinks was configured with --enable-debug.
The following is in the HTML 4 standard
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#push-button>):
push buttons: Push buttons have no default behavior. Each push
button may have client-side scripts associated with the element's
event attributes. When an event occurs (e.g., the user presses the
button, releases it, etc.), the associated script is triggered.
Currently, a button such created by such HTML as "<input type="button"
value="foo" />" submits the form by default in ELinks. According to
the above, it shouldn't.
In particular:
- mkdist takes options and need not be run at elinks.cz
- git push just the single tag, rather than all --tags
- explicitly avoid multipart/signed
- add the release date from the elinks-users archive to NEWS
- update download.txt, release.html, and bugzilla/milestones/elinks.html
md5sum -c exits with code 1 if some of the files listed in the md5
file are missing, so each md5 file should list only those files that
the user is supposed to download together. This is also how
elinks-web/download.html has been set up.
.git/HEAD in elinks-0.12pre1.tar.gz broke git-import-orig in Debian's
git-buildpackage 0.4.33:

So let's try with a "git-commit-id" file outside of .git/ instead.
I also considered ".git-commit-id" but that could give the impression
that Git itself reads the file for some purpose.
Git does not appear to have anything like cg clone -s, which makes the
clone in the current directory rather than in a new directory. It
seems possible to work around that with:
git clone --bare http://elinks.cz/elinks.git .git
git --git-dir=.git config core.bare false
git reset --hard
git clean -f
git checkout elinks-0.12
but that's already so complex that I think it'll be easier to just
remove the whole directory and clone to a new one.
The whole concept of first downloading a snapshot and then updating
that from version control comes from the time when ELinks was in CVS.
It made sense then because CVS could download deltas based on the data
in the CVS subdirectories contained in the snapshots. However, Git
wants to get the whole history and does not benefit from having the
files of a single commit available in advance.
The documentation has version numbers in a few places and it's easier
to get those right this way than by building it elsewhere before
running mkdist. This change slows down mkdist but ccache can mitigate
some of that and snapshots use prebuilt documentation anyway.
The RISC OS Unix Porting Project has apparently moved its webpage
to <http://www.riscos.info/packages/SectionIndex.html#Browser>,
but ELinks is no longer listed there.
ftp.fu-berlin.de still has multiple copies of Links, but they seem to
be part of operating systems like NetBSD or Ubuntu; nothing there
looks like a mirror of the Links download site.

Do not retain changed values in form fields when the user reloads. Doing
so can be confusing or even cause data-loss when new default values are
specified in the updated document. For example, when editing an article on
Wikipedia, one loads the edit page for the article, makes and submits
changes, goes back to the edit page to make further modifications, and
reloads to get the new article text. Before this change, reloading the
edit page would not update the textarea on the page with the new article
source, which can lead one (and has led me) to make changes to the original
version of the article by accident.
This fixes bug 620.

This reverts commit 4dc4ea47f2.
Conflicts:
src/network/connection.h: After the original commit, the declaration
of copiousoutput_data had been changed to use the LIST_OF macro.
Also, connection.cgi had been added next to the connection.popen
member added by the original commit.
src/session/download.c: After the original commit, the definition of
copiousoutput_data had been changed to use the INIT_LIST_OF macro.
If the user opens the same file again after it is in the cache, then
ELinks does not always open a new connection, so download->conn can be
NULL in init_type_query(), and download->conn->cgi would crash.
Don't read that, then; instead add a new flag cache_entry.cgi, which
http_got_header() sets or clears as soon as possible after the cache
entry has been created.
(cherry picked from commit 81f8ee1fa2)
CGI scripts are distinguishable from normal files. I hope that this
fixes the bug 991. This commit also reverts the previous revert.
(cherry picked from commit 7ceba1e461)
The comment said "it is not possible to call kill_timer from a timer
handler." Sure, such calls used to crash occasionally, but that was
bug 868 and has already been fixed.
