a) lang/see support was removed (see below)
b) lang/spidermonkey and wip/spidermonkey185 aren't recognized
ELinks 0.12pre6
---------------
Security fix:
* bug 1124, CVE-2012-4545: Do not delegate GSSAPI credentials in HTTP
Negotiate or GSS-Negotiate authentication. Reported by Marko Myllynen.
(ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported GSSAPI; earlier
releases are not vulnerable.)
Fixed crashes and hangs:
* critical bug 943: Don't let user JavaScripts call any methods of
``elinks.action'' in tabs that do not have the focus. If a tab was
closed with ``elinks.action.tab_close'' while it had pop-up windows,
ELinks could crash; as a precaution, don't allow other actions
either. (ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported
``elinks.action''.)
* critical bug 1083: Avoid an infinite loop when trying to decompress
malformed data. Caused by the bug 1068 fix in ELinks 0.12pre3.
* Fix a possible crash or information disclosure on big-endian 64-bit
systems using HTTP Negotiate or GSS-Negotiate authentication.
Incompatibilities:
* Dropped support for SEE. (ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release
that supported SEE.)
* Guile 2.0.0 (released on 2011-02-16) changed its license to
LGPLv3-or-later, which is not compatible with the GPLv2 that covers
ELinks. Also, Guile has deprecated many of the functions that
ELinks calls.
Other changes:
* major bug 764: Correctly initialize options on big-endian 64-bit
systems.
* bug 983: Give preference to the Content-Type specified in the HTTP
header over that specified via the HTML meta tag.
* bug 1084: Allow option names containing '+' and '*' in the option
manager.
* bug 1112: Map most numeric character references € ... Ÿ
to graphical characters also when the output charset is UTF-8.
(ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that supported UTF-8 as the
terminal charset, and ELinks 0.12pre5 was the first release that
supported UTF-8 as the dump charset.)
* minor bug 1113: Fix a small memory leak if a mailcap file is malformed.
* minor bug 1114: Decode SGML entities and NCRs only once in link/@title
and other attributes.
* build: Fix several warnings reported by GCC 4.7.1. Harmless at
runtime but could break the build if configured --enable-debug.
(This version does not fix all such warnings.)
as well as support for boehm-gc and utf8. Myriad bug fixes.
I've switched the javascript support library over too lang/see,
as it seems to work better. If a release does not come out by
the next branch, I will package a snapshot, as it seems like
they've fixed even more bugs in the development tree.
HOMEPAGE for more information. While here, switch to using lang/ossp-js
package instead of lang/spidermonkey. Goodbye, nspr dependency!
Javascript support seems more stable.
Mark option 'spidermonkey' deprecated in favor of option 'javascript'.
- without-x doesn't make sense, remove option
- depend on libiconv and libidn
- quarantine to prevent changes to the normal LOCALEDIR -- this is
a stupid, non-standard version of gettext for no good reason
- fix mremap on NetBSD
Upstream changes:
- various crashes fixed
- fix use after free
- fix large file support for FTP listenings
- automatic HTML detection
Submitted by Blair Sadewitz, consider switching to links, please.
