Changes:
2.20
----
- Security bug fixed: when links was connected to tor, it would send real
dns requests outside the tor network when the displayed page contains
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="http://host.domain/">.
This bug is present in links-2.15 to links-2.19.
Found by Shi Tian.
- Fix a crash if:
* External fonts are used
* Rendering is optimized for LCD
* The document contains some characters with zero width
- Accept file urls in the form file://localhost/usr/bin/ or
file://hostname/usr/bin/ according to RFC 8089
- Report errors using dialog boxes on OS/2 and Windows because
the standard output may not be visible
- Fix an error "ERROR: select for write (5) failed: Bad file descriptor"
that could happen if the master process was doing dns lookup while being
suspended
- Fixed a memory leak of the SSL structure
- Try to open the file "/dev/input/mice" and use it instead of gpm.
(the user must be in the "input" group)
This results in smooth mouse movement on the framebuffer.
- Report "Lynx/Links" user agent when searching on Google so that
Google returns non-css page
- Support the zstd compression algorithm
- Haiku support
- Fix mouse dragging not being reported in xterm
- Use proper cookie expiry
pkgsrc changes:
- Add fontconfig and freetype2 dependencies to links-gui in order to adjust
per-upstream defaults
Changes:
2.19
----
- Disable high-DPI scaling on Windows
- Links makes it possible to specify scaling of text and images in the
dialog windows, so this should preferably be used instead of
system-level scaling
- Fixed a crash on invalid IDN URL, such as http://test,ï.com/
(found by lsxvdqe@gmail.com)
- Make it possible to select other fonts, using fontconfig and freetype
- Show certificate authority in the "Document info" box
- Use international error messages
- The -dump switch didn't report an error if write to stdout failed
Changes:
=== RELEASE 2.18 ===
- Compile links with graphics support on OpenVMS
- Automatically enable tor mode when the socks port is 9050
- When we are in tor mode, invert the colors on the top line and bottom
line, so that the user can immediatelly see it
- Fix an incorrect shift in write_ev_queue that could cause spurious error
if the socket for interprocess communication fills up.
This bug was introduced in Links 2.15.
- Fix 'runtime error: member access within null pointer' sanitizer warning
- Add a menu entry to save and load a clipboard
- Don't synchronize with the Xserver on every pixmap load
It improves performance on remote connections
- Fix a bug that in the "Network options" dialog box, the value in the
field "Timeout when trying multiple addresses" incorrectly set the value
"Timeout when unrestartable".
- Fix a possible integer overflow in decoder_memory_expand
- Work around a bug on OpenVMS where allocations larger than 0x77fffff0
are treated as if they had 16 bytes
- Fix possible pointer arithmetics bugs if the operating system allocated
memory few bytes below the limit 0xffffffff or 0xffffffffffffffff
- Add a button to never accept invalid certificate for a given server
- Fix incorrect strings -html-t-text-color, -html-t-link-color,
-html-t-background-color, -html-t-ignore-document-color in the manual
page and help (reported by Oliver Schode <oliver.schode@online.de>)
- Windows 7 has a bug (or feature) that corrupts the screen when using the
unaccelerated video driver - when a thread draws into window's device context
and the user simultaneously drags the window, the device context coordinates
may not be updated. Subsequent draws are done with incorrect coordinates.
In order to work around this bug, we detect that a drawing operation
possibly raced with window moving. If it did, we allocate a new DC (the
old one is corrupted) and start a timer that asks the main thread to
redraw the whole window using the new DC.
- Add ascii replacement of Romanian S and T with comma
Fix replacement of c with cedilla and a/i with grave accent a/o/u with
diaeresis
- Use static linking in the released binaries on OS/2 because the DLL
names may clash with other programs
- On OS/2, use AF_OS2 for interprocess communication because the loopback
network device may not be properly configured.
Fall back to 127.0.0.1 only if AF_OS2 in not installed.
- Fixed a bug when IPv6 control connection to a ftp server fails and IPv4
control connection succeeds, links would incorrectly try to make the
data connection using IPv6 (this bug was introduced in Links 2.15).
Remove manual CONFLICTS, pkg_add does this automatically.

Blacklist FORPSI server --- do not send Range: to it
Mon Apr 16 01:49:07 MET DST 2007 mikulas:
Javascript was removed. The reason is that it is very buggy, Martin
Pergel doesn't have time to develop it and code is so messy that no one
else can understand it.
If you use links for special purposes (embedded devices, etc.), you can
bring javascript back by copying javascript files from previous release,
removing "dnl javascript" lines from configure.in, adding *.c and *.h
files to Makefile.am and re-running automake and autoconf.
Javascript hooks from main code were not removed --- they just won't be
maintained.
=== RELEASE 2.1pre28 ===
Wed Apr 11 01:39:36 cet 2007 mikulas:
Fixed a bug in decompression and javascript document.write introduced in
previous release (compressed data were displayed after document.write)

time for it and the code is so messy that it couldn't be understand by
anyone else, javascript will likely be removed in next release)

NT, Window 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista side by side.
(new Cygwin emulates xterm-like mouse on the console, so it's not needed
for mouse)
Cygwin sometimes doesn't send SIGWINCH, it is its bug, so I didn't try
to fix it in links. Press twice Alt-Enter if links doesn't notify window
size change

Removed SDL support until someone fixes it.
Remaining bugs:
palette not installed with 256-color svgalib support
drawing doesn't synchronize with softcursor (seen on svgalib)
stupid keyboard handling (SDL has the ability to query
operating system keymap and translate keys to unicode
but this driver didn't use it)
doesn't support virtual devices with Alt-1 ... Alt-0, like
svgalib and framebuffer
reportedly crashes with sdl-1.2.10
If you want SDL support continued, take file sdl.c from previous
version of links, fix the above issues and resubmit it.
