text_typeahead_handler: Document that passing -2 for action_id will cause a search without error reporting. This behaviour is unintentionally the current behaviour of text_typeahead_handler, but now it is documented so that it can be used. input_line_event_handler: When rewinding, pass -2 for the action_id parameter to the handler instead of passing again whatever action led to the rewinding. The old behavior of input_line_event_handler was particularly problematic with the search-toggle-regex action and the text_typeahead_handler handler: input_line_event_handler would call the handler with ACT_EDIT_SEARCH_TOGGLE_REGEX, and the handler would toggle the setting and perform the search again; then if the search string no longer matched anything, the handler would return INPUT_LINE_REWIND to input_line_event_handler, which would rewind and call the handler with ACT_EDIT_SEARCH_TOGGLE_REGEX again, thus toggling the option back to the original setting. With the new behaviour, input_line_event_handler will not repeat the same action when re-invoking the handler; in the above example with search-toggle-regex, the search string will simply be rewound until it matches with the new setting.
ELinks - an advanced web browser ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ELinks is an advanced and well-established feature-rich text mode web (HTTP/FTP/..) browser. ELinks can render both frames and tables, is highly customizable and can be extended via scripts. It is very portable and runs on a variety of platforms. The ELinks official website is available at http://elinks.cz/ Please see the SITES file for mirrors or other recommended sites. If you want to install ELinks on your computer, see the INSTALL file for further instructions. A good starting point is documentation files available in doc/, especially the file index.txt. If you want to request features or report bugs, see community information at http://elinks.cz/community.html and feedback information available at http://elinks.cz/feedback.html. If you want to write some patches, please first read the doc/hacking.txt document. If you want to add a new language or update the translation for an existing one, please read po/README document. If you want to write some documentation, well, you're welcome! ;) Historical notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Initially, ELinks was a development version of Links (Lynx-like text WWW browser), with more liberal features policy and development style. Its purpose was to provide an alternative to Links, and to test and tune various new features, but still provide good rock-solid releases inside stable branches. Why not contribute to Links instead? Well, first I made a bunch of patches for the original Links, but Mikulas wasn't around to integrate them, so I started releasing my fork. When he came back, a significant number of them got refused because Mikulas did not like them as he just wouldn't have any use for them himself. He aims to keep Links at a relatively closed feature set and merge only new features which he himself needs. It has the advantage that the tree is very narrow and the code is small and contains very little bloat. ELinks, on the contrary, aims to provide a full-featured web browser, superior to both lynx and w3m and with the power (but not slowness and memory usage) of Mozilla, Konqueror and similar browsers. However, to prevent drastic bloating of the code, the development is driven in the course of modularization and separation of add-on modules (like cookies, bookmarks, ssl, scripting etc).
