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.)
ELinks 0.12pre5:
----------------
* Debian bug 534835: Check the return values of some SpiderMonkey
functions, to avoid crashes if out of memory.
* minor bug 1017: To work around HTTP server bugs, disable
protocol.http.compression by default, until ELinks can report
decompression errors or automatically retry the connection.
* enhancement: The French translation was updated.
Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
* critical bug 1081: To fix crashes caused by different definitions of
regfree() in TRE and in the system libc, link with TRE before any
other libraries. ELinks 0.12pre4 was the first release that had
this bug.
* Searching for more than one fullwidth (e.g. Japanese) character now
works.
* bug 1080: Support ``--dump-color-mode'' with ``--dump-charset UTF-8''.
Neither of those worked before ELinks 0.12pre1.
ELinks 0.12pre4:
----------------
Released on 2009-05-31. This release also included the changes listed
under ``ELinks 0.11.6'' below.
Incompatibilities:
* Debian build bug 529821: Use ``pkg-config gnutls'' instead of
``libgnutls-config'', which is not included in GNUTLS 2.7.x.
You can no longer specify the location of GNUTLS using
``configure --with-gnutls=DIR''.
Other changes:
* critical bug 1077: Fix crash opening a ``javascript:'' link in a new
tab.
* Debian bug 528661: If using GNUTLS 2.1.7 or later, disable various
TLS extensions (including CERT and SERVERNAME) to help handshaking
with the SSLv3-only bugzilla.novell.com.
* Debian build bug 526349: Include asciidoc.py from AsciiDoc 7.1.2,
to remove all dependencies on the installed version.
* build enhancement: Recognize ``configure --without-tre''.
Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
* critical bug 1071: Fix crash in get_dom_node_child. ELinks 0.12pre1
was the first release that had this bug.
* bug 765: Opening a new tab no longer asks about the document of the
previous tab. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first release that had this
bug.
ELinks 0.12pre3:
----------------
Released on 2009-03-29. This release also included the changes listed
under ``ELinks 0.11.6'' below.
Incompatibilities:
* bug 1060: Regexp searching now requires the TRE library.
* lzma disabled by default. It's rarely used and doesn't build with new xz.
Other changes:
* critical: Fix assertion failure if IMG/@usemap refers to a different
file.
* Preserve newlines in hidden input fields, and submit them as CRLF.
Previously, they could turn into spaces or disappear entirely.
* Perl scripts can use modules that dynamically load C libraries, like
XML::LibXML::SAX does.
* bug 153: Preserve Unicode characters in XBEL bookmark files.
However, Unicode in URIs (really IRIs) does not work reliably yet;
this is being tracked as bug 1066.
* bug 885: Convert xterm titles to ISO-8859-1 by default, but add an
option to disable this. When removing control characters from a
title, note the charset. Don't truncate titles to the width of the
terminal.
* bug 1061: Correctly truncate UTF-8 titles in the tab bar.
* bug 1068: ELinks used to display a blank or truncated page if an
HTTP/1.1 server sent a compressed body with incorrect Content-Length.
That has now been fixed, and a new option (protocol.http.compression)
has been added.
* Don't crash when the search-toggle-regex action is used and no regular
expression support is compiled in.
* minor bug 761: When reading bookmarks from an XBEL file, distinguish
attribute names from attribute values.
* enhancement: Updated ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-16, KOI8-R, and MacRoman.
Bugs that should be removed from NEWS before the 0.12.0 release:
* critical bug 1067: Fixed a crash in the RSS parser that ``configure
--enable-html-highlight'' enables. ELinks 0.12pre1 was the first
release that had this bug.
* bug 1069: ELinks didn't report ECMAScript errors, even if the
ecmascript.error_reporting option was turned on. ELinks 0.12pre2
was the first release that had this bug.
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,
as we used the 0.11.4 release candidate tarballs):
* critical bug 755: fix crashes due to dangling pointers to struct
form_state
* critical bugs 613, 714, 961: "assertion list_empty(form_controls)
failed"
* critical bug 945: don't crash if a Lua script calls e.g. error(nil)
* critical bug 1003: don't crash if a smart URI rewrite template gets
too few parameters
* critical bug 1016: avoid JSFunctionSpec for better compatibility
across versions of SpiderMonkey
* critical bugs 674, 956: don't reuse pointers to SpiderMonkey objects
that may have been collected as garbage. This fix causes bug 954.
* CVE-2007-2027: check if the program path contains "src/" before using
../po files
* important Debian bug 380347: prevent a buffer overflow in entity_cache
and a possible subsequent crash

empty)
* bug 978: Python's webbrowser.open_new_tab(URL) works since now
* bug 1012: compile with -fno-strict-overflow or -fwrapv if available
* bug 1014: fix incompatible pointer type in Perl_sys_init3 call
* minor bug 54, Debian bug 338402: don't force the terminal to 8 bits
with no parity, and don't disable XON/XOFF flow control either
* minor bug 951 in user SMJS: garbage-collect SMJS objects on File ->
Flush all caches to work around their holding cache entries busy
* minor bug 396: never show empty filename in the what-to-do dialog

munmap() doesn't
see GIT history.
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:
--------------
* Native FSP protocol support (replaces CGI program in contrib/cgi/)
ELinks 0.11.0 (Elated):
-----------------------
* SSL support via GNUTLS now requires 1.2 or higher
* support for Lua 4.x was dropped, we only support Lua 5.x now
* Python scripting back-end (experimental)
* Spidermonkey based ECMAScript scripting back-end (experimental)
* 88 colors support
* default URI-rewrite rule, used when no other rules match but the string that
was entered in the Go to URL box does not resemble a URI
* support prefixes for add-bookmark-link, document-info, goto-url-current-link,
history-move-back, and history-move-forward
* BitTorrent protocol (experimental)
* FSP protocol via a CGI script (see contrib/cgi/README.FSP) (experimental)
* sysmouse support on the BSD console
* new GNU make based build system (aclocal from automake is still required)
* move from CVS to GIT
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.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
