--- RELEASE of 2.3  (19-May-1994) ---

5-19-94

* Better memory allocation routines used for some VMS systems.

5-19-94

* Non-interactive (-source) access to documents requiring access authorization

  not allowed to avoid crashes.

3-30-94

* Lynx exports the environment variable LYNX_VERSION on UNIX systems

  with the current version number as the value.

3-29-94

* added "action=" handling to ISINDEX tags.  (Is that in the spec?)

3-27-94

* fixed Telnet security problem

3-19-94

* added .mailcap and mailcap support as well as mime.types support

  for the configuration of viewers and extension mappings.

  The test command is now implemented so that viewers can be conditionally

  setup.

3-17-94

* Revamped the FTP code to recognize different server types and to parse

  full directory listings (LIST output).  File types, sizes and dates

  are displayed when possible.

3-16-94

* added transparent support for mosaic bookmark files.  Just point

  Lynx at your existing default mosaic bookmark file and Lynx will

  handle the rest.  Viewing, addition, and removal are supported.

3-15-94

* added second line of reverse video to show multiline links better.

3-10-94

* added configurable MIME types and viewers to lynx.cfg.  MIME types

  and VIEWERS can be configured by following the instructions within

  the newest lynx.cfg file.

3-?-94

* added second %s argument to PRINTER and DOWNLOADER definitions.

  If a second %s is present in the command definition it will be

  filled in by a suggested filename which is derived from the URL

  of the document.  See lynx.cfg for more details.

3-?-94

* got code from CERN to fix HTBTree FTP bug.  Large ftp lists should

  not crash anymore.

3-9-94

* added no_proxy environment variable.  set it to a comma delimited list

  of domains or hosts that should not be proxyed. (Thanks CERN :)

  USAGE: (UNIX)

     setenv no_proxy "domain1.dom, domain2.dom, domain3, etc"

3-?-94

* Fixed Referer: field handleing so that it doesn't crash on really

  long URL's

3-?-94

* True popup menus are now supported for non-multiple SELECT lists.

2-28-94

* fixed the delete-a-bookmark command and bound it to 'r' for remove.

  (thanks to David Trueman for the fix)

---------- RELEASE of 2.2 ------------------

2-9-94

* added 'd' for download current link.  Can be used to force a download

  of any file.

* 'r' removed as a comment key.  Use 'c' or reconfigure your keys to

  add 'r' back in.  (I would like to use 'r' in the future to mean

  remove current bookmark link)

* Found the bug in the HTTP redirection code that was causing it

  not to work.  So HTTP redirection appears to work now!

* Added Referer: header to HTTP requests to list the URL of

  the document listing the requsted URL.   Here's an extract from CERN:

     This optional header field allows the client to specify,

     for the server's benefit, the address ( URI ) of the document

     (or element within the document) from which the URI in the

     request was obtained.

     This allows a server to generate lists of back-links to documents,

     for interest, logging, etc.  It allows bad links to be traced

     for maintenance.

2-8-94

* changed novice line to be displayed on bottom two lines with the

  status line moved up two lines.

1-27-94

* Made configurable keymappings a reality.  Keys can be remapped in

  the lynx.cfg file.  (diffs from David Trueman)

* Got code from Foteos to make 'a' work for VMS connection interrupts.

1-24-94

* Moving closer towards configurable keymappings.  New keyhandleing

  code will make it very easy to implement. (diffs from David Trueman)

1-14-94

* Lynx FTP now supports PASV code. (fixes to CERN (Dave Raggert?) PASV code

  from John Ellson)  It is not enabled by default.  Line 43 in

  WWW/Library/Implementation/HTFTP must be commented out for

  PASV code to be used.  This was done because not all FTP sites

  can support PASV FTP.

1-13-94

* slight change in forms user interface.  For the better, I hope you will

  agree.  Text input fields are now active as soon as the cursor pointer

  is over them.  Therefore you may begin typing into the text field

  as soon as you come to it.  Tab, and up and down arrow keys will

  move off of the text input field.  The only problem with this is as

  follows.  If you are in the habit of using the number keys (keypad)

  the or h,j,k,l vi keys, as soon as you move over the text link

  you will begin seeing numbers or hjk or l show up in the text field.

  In other words, your movement commands are now broken :(  You must

  use true arrow keys or the tab key to move off of the text field.

  I've tried this out and it seems to work alright.  I don't think

  that users unfamiliar with this will have too hard a time figureing

  it out.  Once you see numbers or letter appearing it becomes fairly

  obvious whats going on.  I'll put a message at the bottom of the

  screen saying "use tab or arrow keys to move off of link."

* added mods by David Trueman to implement -restrictions commandline

  option.  -restrictions allows a list of services to be disabled

  selectively. -restrictions takes the form of

  "lynx -restrictions=[default],[all],[inside_telnet],[outside_telnet],[shell],\

	[editor],[bookmark],[option_save],[print],[file_url],[download],[exec]"

   all             restricts all options.

   default         same as commandline option -anonymous.  Disables

	           default services for anonymous users.  Currently set to,

	           all restricted except for: inside_telnet, outside_telnet, and

	           goto.  Defaults settable within userdefs.h

   inside_telnet   disallow telnets for people coming from inside your

		   domain.

   outside_telnet  disallow telnets for people coming from outside your

		   domain.

   shell	   disallow shell escapes

   editor	   disallow editing

   bookmark	   disallow changing the location of the bookmark file.

   options_save    disallow saving options in .lynxrc

   print           disallow most print options

   goto            disable the 'g' (goto) command.

   file_url        disallow using G)oto to go to file: URL's

   download        disallow saving binary files to disk in the download menu.

   exec            disable execution scripts

   exec_frozen     disallow the user from changing the execution link

		   setting in the O)ptions menu.

1-12-93

* added new more informative messages for form links.

1-11-93

* fixed -dump and -source options so that they work for

  binary files now.

* Interruptable I/0 now completely works for UNIX systems.

  VMS is next.  Just hit an 'a' for abort anytime during a

  transfer to abort.  If there is a partial file to show, it

  will be shown.

* Added command line option -show_curser.  If enabled the curser

  will not be hidden in the right hand corner but will instead

  be positioned at the start of the currently selected link.

  show curser is the default for systems without FANCY_CURSES

  capibilities, and the default configuration can be changed in

  userdefs.h

1-9-93

* Added NNTP posting capibilities.  Currently uses external inews

  program which will be included in the utils directory.

  Would someone like to patch in some freeware inews code, or

  send me some?

1-7-93

* fixed bug in password handling which cuased it to be displayed

  accidentally :(  (Danny Mayer)

1-6-94

* bold and emphasis now use curses underlining to represent

  ephasized text.  The use of _underline_ chars before and after

  the text is now removed.

1-5-94

* Added configurable download menu so that binary files may

  be downloaded using any protocal.  Download menu is displayed

  after selecting a non-displayable file.

* Added exec links.  4 types currently defined:

    files ending in:  .csh, .ksh, .sh, (for UNIX)  and .com (for VMS);

  Use exec link controls to turn on and off exec links.

* Gopher menues are now within PRE so that spaces are not

  collapsed in menu entries.

* added configurable character sets.  Can be set in lynx.cfg

  by the user in the options screen or in the users .lynxrc file

  current sets are: ISO Latin I, IBM PC Character set, & 7 bit

  approximations.  New sets can be added to src/LYCharSets.c

----------RELEASE of Lynx 2.1 and 2.1.1----------------------

-grey area-

* Ability to FTP to VMS systems. (Foteos Macrides)

* Fixed lots of display and interupt problems (Foteos Macrides)

* The Lynx Bookmark file is now interpreted as an HTML document.

  Old Lynx bookmark files must be converted using the lynx2html

  program or deleted.

* HTML+ forms as implemented by XMosaic now work.

  fill in the empty spaces and press the submit button to

  submit the form.

* The TEXTAREA tag isn't done yet.  It will currently only

  give a one line text area.  The next version of Lynx will

  include a true textarea implementation once I figure out a

  reasonable interface.

* Incorporated WWWlib 2.14 and fixed up the descrip.mms files.

  Foteos Macrides made VMS port changes and wrote a really nice

  build.com script to make compilation on VMS systems really easy.

  Foteos also ported Lynx to OpenVMS for alpha axp systems.

* 's' now means search a searchable indexed document through the

  server, and can no longer be used to search for strings within

  the displayed document.

* '/' now only searches through the current displayed document for

  strings and can not be used for searchable index documents.

  internal format document links

* local documents ending in .html can now be referenced with

  just a filename and/or path from the command line.

10-19-93

* Added preloaded searches to gopher URL's.  They previously

  didn't work.  This is readily apparent as preloaded CSO

  searches, which alot of people wanted.

* removed old hytelnet compatibility code which looked in

  multiple directories to find the correct file.  If you still

  need this capibility talk to me.

10-12-93

* The users specified editor is now spawned for mail messages.

  If no editor is defined or if the user is anonymous, the built-in

  lynx mail sender is used.

10-11-93

  (instead of ISOLATIN1), protected by #ifdef LOCALE (Nickolay Saukh)

------Release of Lynx 2.0.11--------------------------------

8-27-93

* Caused major international incident when a large bug was discovered after

  release. :)

* Fixed internal document hypertext refernces with URL's.  '#selector'

  strings now work again.

8-24-93

* When files come through on pre HTTP/1.0 servers they are now

  recognized by their file extensions

8-23-93

* fixed ALT bug that had to do with style changes not

  happening before the alt was printed.

8-21-93

* updated the man file lynx.1.

8-19-93

* updated help and converted it to HTML.  Made a new help location and

  server.  The new default help file is

  http://kufacts.cc.ukans.edu/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html

8-15-93

* changed '\' to toggle between source and no source.  When you press

  '\' while viewing a rendered HTML document you will get the HTML source

  when you press '\' while viewing HTML source you will get the

  rendered HTML.

* Added ALT attribute to IMG tag.  When ALT is available the contents

  are displayed.  When ALT is missing [IMAGE] is displayed.  When

  ALT="" nothing is displayed.

8-14-93

* Added document reload command.  CTRL-R when pressed will reload

  the document into memory and redisplay it, clearing the screen.

  This is very useful when editing documents, outside of Lynx while

  using Lynx for rendering.

* Added source view mode.  '\' when pressed will reload the document

  and display the HTML source. (doesn't work for gopher directoryies right

  now, but gopher isn't HTML anyways)

* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused it not to be able to convert to

  www/source.

* fixed bug in LibWWW that caused most binary file transfers to fail

* added binary file transfer ability.  When binary files are selected

  the user is prompted for a file name to save to.  The default directory

  is the one the user started in.

* Lynx now reloads local HTML files and re-renders them after editing.

??-??-??

* At some point I added the ability to edit HTML files on the local

  machine.

8-12-93

* Added Nested Lists, up to six levels, with different bullets

  for each level.

* Due to the fact that nearly everyone seems to use P to mean

  two returns within the same style, and Mosaic has been kind

  enough to support this meaning, :( :( :(  I have changed

  the P tag to reflect this interpretation.  P can be used

  anywhere and will mean insert two returns.  (i.e., two BR tags)

8-11-93

* Made the default Mime type for unknown file types on ftp servers

  to be text/plain.  Previously the WWWLibrary had the default

  as application/octet-stream which meant that most files could not

  be viewed.

* Changed the ADDRESS style to be more like XMosaic

  Left flush, newline top and bottom

* The Statusline now displays the URL when retrieving files.

* added BR (linebreak) tag!

  The BR tag inserts a line break and maintains the current style!

  The BR tag may be used anywhere.

* added HR (horizontal rule tag!)

  The HR tag puts a horizontal line seperating two bodies of text.

  The HR tag may be used anywhere.

8-8-93

* All spaces, tabs and returns are now collapsed down do one

  space.

* fixed bug whiched caused certain links beginning at the

  begining of a line to be bad.

* added '*' (stars) to unordered lists and numbers to ordered

  lists.

* changed dir lists to be more like menu lists.

* all emphasis, physical and symantic, now have _underlines_

  around them to show emphasis.

bookmark page.

5-30-93

Fixed problem with ftp: URL not being recognized and not working.

5-28-93
