for problem introduced by 2.8.8dev.17 code-cleanup -GV
* trim unnecessary intllib symbols from src/chrtrans/makefile.in -TD
* when cross-compiling, trim LDFLAGS from makefile rule linking makeuctb,
because it is a build tool, which should generally use BUILD_LDFLAGS
(patch by Thomas Petazzoni)
2018-05-06 (2.8.9dev.18)
* ignore content-encoding in HTContentToCompressType() if the content-type is
known, to improve the suggested filename (report by Russell Bell) -TD
* add support for using client certificate with OpenSSL configuration (patch
by Elliot Thomas).
* fix a few more memory leaks -TD

* modify HTDoConnect(), adding a check for keyboard interrupt with 'z' in the
select-loop -TD
* modify legacy feature from Lynx 2.7.2 which checks the hostname of a URI
to guess whether to use HTTP, FTP, etc., depending upon the prefix of the
URIs hostname. This is now an optional feature, GUESS_SCHEME, which defaults
to FALSE (Debian #893907) -TD
2018-03-21 (2.8.9dev.17)
* modify samples/oldlynx.bat to check if Lynx recognizes the -lss option -TD
* modify samples/*lynx.bat to check for environment variables that Lynx would
test for temp-directory, and only if those are absent will the scripts
attempt to create a temp-directory -TD
* modify samples/*lynx.bat to set PATH for executing utility programs -TD
* remove unused critSec_DNS -TD
* use EnterCriticalSection in ws_netread rather than InitializeCriticalSection
since critSec_READ was initialized in LYMain.c (report by GV) -TD

them into lynx's application directory -TD
* add oldlynx.bat sample script to windows installer -TD
* use default lynx.lss color scheme with samples/lynx.bat -TD
* modify windows installers to use static libraries for pdcurses and slang,
because the dll for the latter is much larger than the rest of lynx.
Even with this change, lynx.exe is 50% larger when using slang than with
pdcurses -TD
* rename test-package for ".rpm" to "lynx-dev" for consistency with ".deb" -TD
* improve samples/lynx.bat by using location of script rather than current
directory -loto1992@inbox.ru ("Smuggler")

take into account server headers which extend past the first block read
(report/test-case by Dick Wesseling) -TD
* permanently enable EXP_HTTP_HEADERS feature -TD
* modify color-style hashing to check for collisions (reported by TG, Russell
Bell) -TD
* add PREFERRED_CONTENT_TYPE defaulting to text/plain and options-menu to
replace an assumption in HTMIMEConvert that everything is text/html.
Since most servers provide a valid Content-Type for HTML, and are more likely
to omit it for files lacking a known suffix, defaulting to text/plain is a
better choice -TD
* remove dead-code for OMIT_SCN_KEEPING -TD
* remove dead/unreachable pretty-source code in HTML.c, noticed because
it complicates hashing -TD
* improve hashing for anchors and styles by using a more suitable hash-table
size -TD

number of cells needed for a multibyte string in the editable text-fields
(Debian #841155) -TD
* improve manual page discussion of environment variables, prompted by
comments in Debian #791452, which overlooked the fact that details of proxy
behavior are found in the user guide -TD
* cleanup some of the user's guide formatting, e.g., for quote-characters -TD
* consistently use "_" in command-line options table and manual page, to work
with program logic that treats "-" as "_", but not the reverse (report by

options. According to RFC-3986, this is deprecated, but testing shows other
clients support it -TD
* fix several minor warnings reported by Coverity -TD
* remove redundant asserts which follow a check that leads to outofmem(),
added in 2.8.8dev.4 to appease clang 2.6, since clang 3.x understands
no-return function declarations -TD
* when converting host+params to idna, temporarily separate the params to
avoid a warning from idna_to_ascii_8z() -TD
* improve warning messages from 2.8.9dev.11 fixes when stripping user/password,

user name was not logged (report by Axel Beckert) -TD
* update config.guess (2017-03-05), config.sub (2017-02-07)
2016-11-15 (2.8.9dev.11)
* amend fix for stripping user/password to ensure that the stripped value is
used when connecting to the host (prompted by discussion of CVE-2016-9179
at https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2016/11/threads.html#00072) -TD
2016-11-08 (2.8.9dev.10)
* improved fix for OpenSSL 1.1 (Taketo Kabe).
* improve warning message when stripping user/password from URL; report on
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/322 treated as a Lynx parsing error the
punctuation such as "?" which is permitted by RFC-1738 in a user or password
field. RFC-3986 subsequently modified this. The improved message points out
the possible confusion by users when these fields contain punctuation -TD
* build-fix for OpenSSL 1.1 (Kamil Dudka)
* begin work to parse gopher extension "link to URL" -TD
* remove an obsolete comment in the manual page about -dump versus -force_html
(report by Peter Schmitt) -TD

than providing an empty "-lss" option -TD
* amend change made in 2.8.8dev.17 to permit multiple COLOR_STYLE items to
restore the ability to cancel the color-style by providing an explicitly
empty configuration item (in lynx.cfg, -lss or $LYNX_LSS). In lynx.cfg, it
is possible to follow the empty COLOR_STYLE with other data, but the -lss
option overrides everything, and if that is not found, $LYNX_LSS overrides
lynx.cfg -TD
* correct ifdef so that if the "news" parsing is disabled at compile time,
HTTP.c interprets https:// links correctly when a https_proxy is set up
(patch by Al Walker).
* add a limit-check in case colspan is given as zero for non-nested-table case
(report by Sami Liedes) -TD
* update nl.po, sl.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
2016-04-26 (2.8.9dev.9)
* add workaround for servers such as https://www.xing.com which fail to close
the connection when they finish sending compressed data. This relies on
the content-length (report by Klaus-Peter Wegge) -TD
* restore fix to filter out left-to-right marks which was broken in refactoring
in 2.8.9dev.2, and also filter out right-to-left marks (Debian #808949) -TD
* fix build for current gnutls configuration which dropped the
gnutls_protocol_set_priority function (reported by Axel Beckert, Andreas
Metzler) -TD
* modify CF_LD_RPATH_OPT configure macro, changing FreeBSD case to use
-Wl,-rpath rather than -rpath option. According to FreeBSD #178732, either
works since FreeBSD 4.x; however scons does not accept anything except the
-Wl,-rpath form -TD
* add null-pointer checks for ssl_ctx in HTTP.c in case of error from calls
on SSL_CTX_new (report by Yuan Jochen Kang) -TD

* make the HTTP version configurable, defaulting to "1.0" (HTTP/1.0) as
HTTP_PROTOCOL, and make it changeable in the options menu -TD
* switch HTTP version to 1.1, adding an explicit "close" to work around
the pitfall of persistent connections. This is to work around a selective
reading of RFC 2068 by duckduckgo.com - see
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2015-12/index.html
-Axel Beckert
* fix a potential null dereference in tidy_tls.c reported by Coverity -TD

in 2.8.8dev.3 did not take into account UTF-8 values (Debian #770011) -TD
* correct a bug in the map_string_to_keysym() function introduced in

shortest encoding is accepted. Other/longer encodings are mapped to the UCS
replacement character as in xterm (Debian #763268) -TD
* modify LYExpandHostForURL() to call HTGetAddrInfo(), allowing DNS lookups
for IPv6 to be interrupted, e.g., by typing ^G. This was a path overlooked
in 2.8.8dev.13 (reports by Chad Kline, etc.) -TD
* drop libgnutls-extra when using --with-gnutls-compat option -TD
* drop libgcrypt dependency when building with gnutls, using gnutls_rnd()
rather than gcry_randomize() (adapted from patch by Andreas Metzler,

+ CF_ACVERSION_CHECK: work around another gratuitous incompatibility
introduced in 2.69 (reported by Ross Burton, openembedded.org)
+ CF_ADD_CFLAGS: workaround for ash-shell

generally are using incomplete dependencies - in turn introducing lots of
duplication. filter out the duplicates.
+ CF_CHECK_CFLAGS: workaround for ash-shell
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS: improve workaround for weak-linkage, seems to fix tests
with NetBSD 6.1
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER: cleanup the -no-gcc option which was leftover from
testing - prcs does not build with this option.

_NETBSD_SOURCE, even though it was released 2012-02-29 - appease it. At
the same time, turn on the verbose flag to show that most platforms need
platform-specific define's to get POSIX (sic). Also, add case for UnixWare
(report/discussion with Mark Ryan).
+ CF_X_ATHENA: add --with-Xaw3dxft option
+ CF_X_TOOLKIT: add workaround for breakage in XQuartz upgrades
