ELinks now:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
|
|
This list now contains all the important changes from ELinks 0.11.0 to
|
|
ELinks 0.12.GIT (26473f72f59641aa60277f14f703f8a76dda5a82). The next
|
|
step will be to scan through Bugzilla and look for bug numbers that
|
|
were not mentioned in related commit messages.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
do list all bug numbers). It might be a good idea to sort the entries
|
|
roughly in decreasing order of importance.
|
|
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
|
|
|
|
* Miscellaneous
|
|
- (bugfix) If ELinks logs debug information to a file, it now opens
|
|
that in binary mode.
|
|
- (bugfix) Use PF_* instead of AF_* as first parameter of socket(2).
|
|
- (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
|
|
- (bugfix 830) Fix misparsing of -remote URLs containing parenthesis.
|
|
- (bugfix 868) kill_timer from timer->func can crash check_timers.
|
|
- (enhancement 831) -remote openURL(URL) can include quoted commas.
|
|
- (enhancement) Reject invalid UTF-8 input from documents and
|
|
terminals.
|
|
* Changes in terminal support
|
|
- (enhancement) Make ELinks FreeBSD friendly. Defined keys used on
|
|
FreeBSD console
|
|
- (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.

|
|
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 772) Recognize Shift+Tab on Xterm.
|
|
- (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.
