Changes since 0.10.1:
0.10.2:
New features:
- Merge in the official debian packaging files so it is now easy to
build your own .deb files. Just apt-get install devscripts and run
debuild in the ELinks root directory.
- Add experimental Ruby scripting back-end. An example hooks file is
available in contrib/ruby/hooks.rb but it doesn't do anything
interesting yet.
Feature updates and improvements:
- Add LEDs info dialog. It can be opened using the Help menu and when
the LED display is clicked.
- Introduce a very simple ECMAScript pop-up window blocking mechanism.
Will show a 'P' in the LED indicators. Off by default.
- Add an example user style sheet and configuration file in contrib/.
- Add support for disabling extended horizontal scrolling, so it will
work like vertical scrolling. Requested by Russ Rowan.
- Optimize CSS style handling.
- Enable usage of the search history also for incremental link text
searching.
- Add a little help text to the terminal options dialog, which also
indicates the value of the TERM environment variable. Hopefully this
will help new users to figure out how configuration of terminals
works.
- When in cursor-routing mode, scroll the document as many rows or
columns as necessary rather than only be one row or one column.
- A few documentation updates.
Bugs fixed:
- Fix handling of forms embedded in table code. (bug 602)
- Alert about file saving error when -no-home was given.
- The default user style sheet is now applied correctly.
- Fix leak related to CSS being disabled and applying the default
style sheet.
- Fix underline rendering when using 256 colors.
- Localization fixes.
- Fix calling of get-proxy scripting hooks. Now they should work
again.
- When using the goto link number functionality in cursor-routing
mode, position the cursor on the newly selected link.
- Compile fixes for *BSD and IRIX systems. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
0.10.3:
New features:
- Merge the MingGW patches so that --dump should now work. The patches
also improves portability.
Feature updates and improvements:
- Change the behavior of an empty action attribute to be like Mozilla
which handles action="" as action="<current-URI>". (bug 615)
- The Perl hooks file is growing more and more insane thanks to Russ.
- Improve the reporting of errors related to the proxy configuration.
- Add toggle HTML/plain to the right click menu (aka. the tab menu),
and make it to not display reload/bookmark when no document is
available.
- Add a <base href=cwd /> element to the generated listing of local
directories.
- When the URL parameter to the Refresh HTTP-equiv is missing refresh
the current document.
Bugs fixed:
- Fix opening of either single bookmarks or folders referring to URLs
without a slash at the end.
- Fix honouring of the Refresh-header when the loaded document is
empty.
- Fix CSS handling by reverting the proposed optimization introduced in
0.10.2.
- Fix displaying of ordered lists when <li> is not directly nested in
<ol>-elements.
- Build fixes on amd64.
- Fix the Perl get-proxy hook so that an undef return value from the
Perl hook results in the default proxy being used, as is supposed to
be the case with get-proxy hooks.
- Fix compile error related name clashes with the <locale.h> system
header.
- The debian package now really contains relevant documentation from
doc/.
- Only create $prefix/lib directory if the gettext code is going to
install a new charset.alias file.
- Truncate NNTP cache entries when ending connections.
0.10.4:
New features:
- Explicit keyboard accelerators were defined for buttons in
dialogue boxes and are now highlighted.
- Add support for bookmarks separators.
Feature updates and improvements:
- Switch to use a ``new'' FTP directory listing parser based on code
from GNU Wget. The switch is motivated by licensing issues with
ftpparse.[ch] files. (debian bug 300889)
- More hooks.pl updating by the new cvs commiter Russ Rowan.
- Change the verbose level to show warnings (debian bug 303083)
- Add FAQ from homepage in doc/ directory. (debian bug 301861)
- When block cursor terminal option is set, keep cursor at lower
right of screen in dialogs too. (bug 583)
- Use plural gettext message IDs, which make the resource info
dialog more readable.
- 'I' in the LEDs now mean "insert mode" and 'i' now mean modeless.
The change is due to document.browse.forms.insert_mode defaulting
to 1.
- Strip protocol part (ftp://, etc) also from proxy strings returned
from scripting hooks.
- Add option to control whether (expanded) folder states should be
stored when saving bookmarks (bookmarks.folder_state). Defaults to
on; the current behavior. (bug 642)
- Do not display terminal options help text when terminal height is
too low.
- Introduce the option infofiles.secure_save_fsync, which allows one
to configure whether secure file saving calls fsync(3).
- Move focus to the first widget when clearing a dialog.
- Add two new functions available from Lua scripts:
set_option(name, value) and and get_option(name).
Bugs fixed:
- Only add /dev/stdin to the URL list when no URLs was given on the
command line. Allow special files when /dev/stdin is added.
(debian bug 296976)
- Fix reading from /dev/stdin on Mac OS X. (bug 616)
- Fix Guile and Ruby detection, it was a quoting issue.
- Fix handling of empty cache entries in the HTML highlighting
engine.
- Fix redirection issues on newsnow.co.uk due to single quotes
enclosing of URL.
- Add dialog.checkbox-selected color to options. (bug 644)
- Decode the subject when handling mailto: links. There is still an
encoding problem when adding the subject to the command string.
- Fix displaying of accesskeys.
- Encode the base href URI when generating file listings. (bug 358)
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)

This is the elinks tree - intended to provide feature-rich version of links,
however not rock-stable and dedicated mainly for testing. Its purpuose is to
make alternative to links, until Mikulas will have some time to maintain it,
and to test and tune various patches for Mikulas to be able to include them
in the official links releases.
