Patch from Juan RP via PR pkg/21312.
Changes:
- USE_X11BASE->USE_X11
8.0:
====
New features:
- Access keys for activating menu entries (Alt + a letter) are now available
on Windows versions.
- When the document defines an access key which is also used as a menu access
key, Amaya gives the priority to the document access key. The user can
change the modifier key (Ctrl instead of Alt) used by document access keys
in the Preferences menu to avoid conflicts.
- Amaya now allows to create/change a link without using the mouse.
CSS
---
Bug fixes:
- Background images declared in style attributes were not displayed.
- The CSS parser didn't accept attribute values in selectors without quotes.
- CSS style sheets are reapplied when background images are loaded.
- @font-face could break the CSS parser.
- CSS rules contained in a style attribute were misplaced in the CSS cascade.
- Margins expressed as a percentage were not re-evaluated after some changes.
- When trying to link to a CSS file, the browser filter was not set to -.css.
New features:
- Support of the CSS property float.
SVG
---
Bug fixes:
- Amaya used the xlink:href defined by a SVG anchor instead of the xlink:href
defined by the included SVG image.
New features:
- Support of all SVG transformations in the OpenGL versions. Transformations
also apply to embedded XHTML and/or MathML elements.
- Support of SVG animation in the OpenGL versions. Embedded XHTML and/or
MathML elements are animated too.
User Interface/Editing
----------------------
Bug fixes:
- Multi-script texts were misplaced in the structure view.
- When replacing an image by another image in a different format, the new
image was not displayed.
- When two images followed each other immediately, it was impossible to insert
some text in between.
- An existing image can be replaced using the image dialogue (image button or
menu XHTML/Image).
- Partial redisplay of the background image didn't work correctly in Win32
versions.
- Transparent images in Win32 versions.
- The combo box and history were not retaining the form data for GET requests.
- Amaya now looks first for the personal version of the fontconfig file in the
user's work space.
- Background images are correctly redisplayed in all versions (GTK, MOTIF,
Win32, OpenGL).
- When scrolling back, images with only one dimension constraint were not
displayed correctly.
- Amaya crashed when opening the timeline view in the Spanish version.
- On Windows it was impossible to copy the content of the "Parsing errors"
view.
- Some characters entered through the Math/Greek palette were not displayed
correctly.
- Sometimes the text alignment was not correct.
- Sometimes Amaya displayed two selections.
- Copying text from another application and pasting it into Amaya preserves
newlines.
New features:
- Support of attribute align="left" and align="right".
Tables
------
Bug fixes:
- Auto margins were computed too early when the document includes tables.
- Avoid to break the table rendering when CSS (or attribute) constraints are
conflicting.
- Sometimes cells extended vertically were rendered too high.
- When the total of column widths expressed as percentage did not amount to
100, tables were rendered badly.
HTTP
----
Bug fixes:
- Content-Location headers that gave a relative URL were not converted
correctly into absolute URLs (related to publishing "page" rather than
"page.html").
- When submitting a (X)HTML form from a document that had no charset, the form
values were not translated into the document's default charset.
- Digest authentication failed when the server precised both auth and aut-int
QoP values.
- When pipelining broke down, the connection to the server wasn't being
closed. This opened the way to synchronization problems.
(X)HTML
------
Bug fixes:
- The xmlns attribute wasn't updated when Amaya saved a XHTML document as HTML (and vice
versa).
- When the height of a <hr> element is limited to 1 or 2 pixels, a white line was displayed
instead of a colored line.
- When pasting in a paragraph some text copied from another application, line breaks now
generate new paragraphs.
MathML
------
Bug fixes:
- Amaya inserted "LeftArrow" instead of the mathematical operator "not".

Amaya displays its first child it can interpret. That child may be an SVG
construction.

format, as specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.
Many minor new features (at least nothing major struck me)
and lots of bug fixes (details: http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/New.html).
pkg: now uses GTK instead of Motif.
graphics rendering bonus and its more stable on my Alpha.
There are some issues with libPNG file loading but those are the same the
old version had; probably related to running on the Alpha.
NetBSD 1.4 does not have wchar.h, but everything needed by Amaya is
defined in stdlib.h. So add a wchar.h test to configure, and protect
inclusion of wchar.h by HAVE_WCHAR_H.
Solves PR 12358.
the libwww distribution included with the Amaya sources. The two versions
are identical and we want to take advantage of NetBSD fixes/changes to the
libwww library from www/libwww. Major changes from amaya-4.3.2 include:
* Large number of bug fixes.
* Improvement of tables printing.
* Amaya is now able to share structure schemas.
* Amaya provides a profile for XHTML 1.1.
* Support for Ruby Annotation.
* Amaya supports inclusion of SVG files linked by elements img or object.
* Use lesstif/buildlink.mk instead of USE_MOTIF.
* Simplify patch to configure by fixing --with-graphic-libs check.
* Ensure that proper LDFLAGS are passed through to build process to ensure
linking against proper libraries.
