From the changelog:
Amaya 4.2.1
22 December, 2000
Bug fixes
* The Docttype was not generated for HTML documents after
creation of a new HTML element.
* Doing a transformation on an HTML document crashed
Amaya without saving the edited document.
Amaya 4.2
21 December, 2000
New features
* Amaya is now able to read and save UTF8 documents but
it's only able to display ASCII and ISO-latin-1
characters and some mathematical symbols. For other
characters it keeps the Unicode value of the character
and displays a '?'. When an encoding is not supported
by Amaya, the document is not parsed.
* MathML: attributes rowalign and columnalign are
interpreted.
* MathML 2.0: new attributes mathvariant, mathsize,
mathcolor, mathbackground, linebreak
* Annotations: new configuration options for disabling
the automatic download of local and remote annotations
each time Amaya is started for users who frequently
work without network access. Note that this new option
is enabled by default; users who prefer the previous
behavior of always querying annotation servers can
select that behavior from the Annotations/Configure...
dialog by unchecking the 'Disable remote autoload at
each startup' and checking the two 'Autoload' boxes.
Bug fixes
* Annotations: Annotations didn't work under Windows,
when Amaya was installed in a directory with a space on
its name (e.g., Program Files). Similarly, annotations
on local documents didn't work if the path to this
document had a space.
* After doing a form POST, Amaya always proposed to save
the answer sent back by the server, even if it could
understand its content type (bug introduced in the 4.0
version).
* Since version 4.1, it's possible to change the user
preferences directory by setting the APP_HOME variable
in the win-thot.rc file. However, the user preferences
were still being read from the default location.
* After a crash, modified documents with a space in their
name were not restored.
* When Amaya crashed during a text insertion, the last
inserted text was lost.
* Configure failed to read the version numbers in
/usr/include/libjpeg.h and /usr/include/png.h (thanks
to Patrik Hagglund).
* Updating of German and Italian translations.
* Contribution from Johannes Zellner for enabling
tear-off menus on Unix platforms.
* The command Save As added the suffix ".html" to SVG and
MathML documents.
* Amaya was sometimes confusing MathML and SVG elements:
Schema ids were based on the compiling time (in
seconds) and Amaya used ids to detect whether two
elements belong to the same schema or not. That method
doesn't work with computers that are able to compile
more than one schema per second. Now, Amaya checks
schema names instead of schema ids.
* Selection: When the hyphanation was active the
selection didn't work correctly.
* Print: The command Print crashed when the document
included XLink attributes.
* Print: In some cases Amaya hanged during the printing
or generated too short pages.
* Windows: The dialogue Underline didn't work correctly.
* Windows: Improving drawing functions and a part of the
program print.
* SVG: CSS rules of the SVG element style were not
interpreted when printing.
* SVG: Images can be created and edited freely within an
SVG drawing
* SVG: When changing the xlink:href attribute of elements
image and use in SVG, those elements are redisplayed
according to the new value of the attribute.
* SVG: When the user created a mathematical expression
into a SVG, the math element was displayed before the
user selected a position. This was confusing.
* HTML: Amaya hanged when the META Content-Type was
quoted by simple quotes.
Amaya 4.1
23 November, 2000
New features
* Annotations: localization of the Local Filter menu.
* Windows: It's now possible to change the value of the
user's preferences directory. To do so, edit the
win-thot.rc and add a variable called APP_HOME in the
[amaya] section. The value of this variable should be
the path to directory. This is interesting if you want
to install Amaya in an NFS drive, but store the user's
preferences locally.
* When the encoding of a XML document is not set, it uses
the default enconding (UTF 8). This version of Amaya
doesn't handle UTF 8 and this document shouldn't be
edited with Amaya. In many cases these documents
contain only ASCII characters and can be interperted
correctly as ISOlatin-1encoded documents. It is why
Amaya proposes to set the ISOlatin-1encoding when it's
not found.
Bug fixes
* Open the Log file and close it. Then open the source
view and close it: all other wiews of that document are
also closed
* The entry "Show parsing errors" (previously "Show Log
file") is now located in the Views menu
* Amaya didn't find out the encoding when it is given by
a META element. It works now.
* When saving a HTML document as XML a wrong DOCTYPE was
generated: it said the document was HTML 4.0 whereas it
was XHTML 1.0 actually.
* In a XHTML document, if you copy and paste an anchor
with both a name and an id, the name of the pasted
element was changed to make it unique, but not the id.
* The MakeBook command didn't work well on remote
documents that included images and could crash Amaya.
* The default Windows geometry was too small for some
views and documents.
* Spell checker: some options didn't reflect the current
value. The special characters entry wasn't working
under Windows.
* MathML: entity LeftAngleBracket was not recognized by
the parser
* MathML: the entity InvisibleTimes was displayed with a
too large space on Windows platforms.
* SVG: element style is now recognized and the CSS rules
it contains are applied as expected.
* SVG: element use is recognized and handled correctly
* SVG: comments and PIs were not displayed correctly in
the structure view
* SVG: text elements were displayed a bit below their
normal position
* SVG: in some cases polylines and polygons were resized
by mistake
* SVG: when printing the background of the whole SVG or
group was painted if there was a CSS rule fill
* SVG: elements are now created with the right default
colors (fill=black, stroke=none).
* Annotations: the Annotation element (pencil icon)
wasn't being skipped always when resolving an XPointer.
This problem could occur with orphan and document
annotations.
* Annotations: ID attributes were not always being
searched correctly in the document's tree.
* Annotations: The Windows annotations project was
missing from the source tar package.
Amaya 4.0
10 November, 2000
New features
* Support for a subset of the SVG graphics format, namely
basic shapes, text, images, and foreignObject (the
later is useful to include HTML fragments or MathML
expressions in drawings).
* Support for native MathML and SVG documents.
* Support for collaborative annotations, based on RDF,
XPointer, and XLink..
* A single structure view displays the structure of
equations and drawings along with the document
structure.
* Generates XHTML document with the right charset.
* Three new profiles: XHTML-transitional, XHTML-strict,
XHTML-basic. In these profiles, Amaya checks the validy
of the (X)HTML documents it loads, and it allows the
user to create only elements and attributes
corresponding to the chosen profile.
* MathML: attributes macros, display, overflow, altimg
and alttext are now available for the top-level math
element. Attribute alttext is rendered in the Alternate
view. Attribute linethickness allows to control the
aspect of fraction bars.
Many improvements to math formatting.
Keys -> and <- move the caret according to the MathML
structure.
* Upgraded libwww to release 5.3.1
* Added the HTTP reason string to the the save error
dialog box.
* Spanish translation of the Amaya dialogues contributed
by Pedro Pablo Fabrega
* The inline documentation is now available in French
(other translations are welcome).
* New menu (Special/Create Remove IDs) to add or remove
ID attributes to/from elements, either globally or
within a selection.
* Searching is case insensitive by default.
* The dialog box of link creation allows you to browse
local files.
* When the selection is within a link (an anchor with an
attribute href), the status line displays the URI of
the target.
* The geometry of windows is now expressed in pixels.
Users may have to update their configuration
(Special/Preferences/Window Geometry menu).
Bug fixes
* When the selected OPTION in a SELECT within a FORM had
no content and no value attribute, the value posted for
the SELECT element was some random garbage.
* Amaya hung when reading a textarea with an initial
value.
* When converting a document from HTML to XHTML, Amaya
did not check whether the id's it created were valid.
For instance, it generated id's starting with a digit.
* The charset given in the XML declaration was ignored by
Amaya.
* 24 bits per pixel images were not handled correctly on
Unix platforms (thanks to Walter Bächi)
* Saving a document source crashed Amaya when it followed
an aborted closing of that document source.
* When the BODY element of an (X)HTML document is
selected, command Delete is no longer refused: it let
you with an empty BODY element.
* When a background image is not repeated, Amaya takes
into account the transparency now (Unix and Windows
platforms).
* After a synchronisation Amaya considered that both the
source view and the formatted view should be saved. Now
the user can decide to save either the source or the
formatted view but only one of them.
* The text editing is now more robust.
* When browsing a remote URL, Amaya systematically added
a "/" end character to the URL if the URL didn't finish
by an extension.
* It was hard to create an area Polygon because the
selection hid the associated image.
* When a paragraph with a top margin was reformatted,
included lines (excepted the last one) were shifted by
error.
* In the Structure view, an anchor repeated the attribute
ID of its parent.
* Opening an image that didn' have an extension resulted
in a crash.
Windows bugs
* The menu Background Image on Windows platforms crashed
Amaya.
* On Windows platforms, sometimes Amaya didn't display
background images correctly.
* Some colors (like border colors) were not correctly
displayed on Windows platforms.
* Each time the user clicked on the button Math, a new
Math palette was generated, now only one palette is
displayed.
* It was the same for the dialogue Search/Replace.
* When all entries of a submenu were hidden in the
current profile, the submenu entry was not removed. Now
it works like on Unix platforms.
* Troubles after a cancel of the operation "Close
Dcument".
