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.
Significant changes from 0.11.3 (some where already present in pkgsrc,

Made option elinks-fastmem the default, as it's significantly faster
and I don't trust their wrappers of malloc(), etc. al. anyway.
Version 0.12 supports boehm-gc, which will probably become the default.
If 0.12 isn't released fairly soon, I'll see about backporting support.
Also add elinks-html-highlight as a default, as there's really no
reason not to.
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'.
to list here; one may check the log at <http://repo.or.cz/w/elinks.git>
(see the elinks-0.11 branch). There should be a 0.11.4 release out
fairly soon.
While here, add two patches (from debian maintainer): one to ensure that
its gettext doesn't look for files in ../po/, and the other to disable
transparency by default.
Bump revision.
- 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.
files into its own directory under ${PREFIX}/share/elinks/locale.
This avoids any potential conflicts between these specially hacked
files installed for elinks and the system-wide ones owned by gettext-lib
and libiconv.
This fixes the installation conflict noted in the latest bulk build.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
No changelog, but announcement said:
Use internal OFF_T_FORMAT instead of PRId64
Fix compilation on Minix3
Bug 841, CVE-2006-5925: Prevent enabling the SMB protocol.
Ecmascript: activate link only when onClick returns true
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
ELinks 0.11.1:

ELinks 0.10.6:
--------------
* external editor is configurable at run-time
Changes:
New features:
- Most of the .txt files in the doc/ directory was lifted to the XML
format defined in RFC 2629. It should make it easier to browse the
documentation. Both .txt and .html version is available.
Feature updates and improvements:
- Try to add support for a less aggressive caching strategy. Disable
document.cache.ignore_cache_control to try it. It will try to
better honour info in the Expires, Pragma and Cache-Control in both
the HTTP and the HTML headers. Inspired by Links2.
- Introduce a workaround for document refreshing leading to never
ending file download. It should do the right thing in most cases and
the remaining ones the you will just have to reload to restart the
refreshing.
- Make the gopher code more robust for URIs without entity info.
- Make it possible to have a specific features.conf file for each
build tree and to change compile-time settings without modifying a
file that is tracked by CVS.
- Show link image info in the document dialog.
- Improve error reporting for connections by showing which URI failed.
Furthermore, make it clearer when an IP version specific URIs
(http6://...) failed.
- NNTP error messages are now translated.
- Add --config-dump which dump a configuration file with default
options to stdout. Helpfull for package maintainers when providing
an example config file.
- Don't sleep after config errors when --dump or --source was
specified.
And lots of bug fixes.
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.
