===============================================================================
Changes since Lynx 2.8 release
===============================================================================
2024-09-15 (2.9.2g)
* update config.guess (2024-07-28), config.sub (2024-06-03)
* add ka.po from

+ improve file-globbing checks, e.g., for MingW
+ add option --enable-arc4random, normally enabled, to accommodate mawk's
use of the CF_SRAND macro -TD
+ AM_WITH_NLS - don't define IGNOTE_MSGFMT_HACK on the command-line because
that goes into the ".pc" and "*-config" files. Replace this by a check
which can define HAVE__NL_MSG_CAT_CNTR, which is more informative -- should
only occur with GNU gettext -TD
+ CF_BUILD_CC - revert build-fix for PDCurses, because it interferes with
other scripts -TD
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS - modify to work with autoheader (Debian #1071581)

* update Debian test-package for renamed test-package of ncurses -TD

directories and symbolic links -TD
* in POSIX environments, check paths for external programs to ensure that they
are executable, non-empty files -TD
* adapt special case of gzip decompression in 2.8.9dev.12 to brotli, to handle
downloads from websites which support "br" (report by Rajeev V Pillai) -TD
* updated configure macro CF_ANSI_CC_C, to reset flags on test-failure, to
keep options from accumulating.
* build-fix for NetBSD and Solaris system curses libraries, removing an ifdef
added in 2.9.0dev.11 (report by Nelson Beebe) -TD
2024-04-15 (2.9.1)
* add samples/mhtml-tool, from
https://github.com/ThomasDickey/mhtml-tool
which can use Lynx to display an "mhtml" file, e.g., foo.mht by

* add --with-libintl-prefix configure option (from patch for tin by Urs
JanBen) -TD
* improve bookmark file-updates, allowing for users to add HTML markup
(report by TG) -TD
* remove obsolete option --with-included-gettext -TD
* override $BUILD_CPPFLAGS and $BUILD_LIBS when not cross-compiling, to help
build Lynx with PDCurses -TD
* re-order configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to reduce compiler warnings
with gcc 14 -TD
* add configure check for ssp library, needed in some MinGW configurations -TD
* fixes for saving a UTF-8 bookmark title -KH
+ correct comparison of Windows codepage values when setting
DisplayCharsetMatchLocale, to handle UTF-8
+ reset the internal state of UCTransToUni() before using it for bookmark
title check.
* update/cleanup test-packages -TD
* correct logic in HTMLGen.c where XMP was not treated as a preformatted
style, causing NNTP headers to be formatted (report by Marco Moock) -TD
* fix special case of main status line on a page without links, broken by fix
for UBSAN/ASAN issue -TG
2024-01-15 (2.9.0)
* change version of OpenSSL used in Windows installers to 3.x and 1.1.1x,
for new/old respectively -TD
* fixes for UBSAN/ASAN issues with clang on Windows -GV
* modify install-doc rule to use relative path for symbolic links -TD
* add support for gopher's hURL functionality (patch by Viatrix).
* allow ^G interrupt to end read from a stalled connection without exiting
Lynx (Debian #1033423) -TD
* allow the ^S keymap to be disabled in the configuration file, e.g.,
KEYMAP:^S:UNMAPPED
(report by TG) -TD
* repair docs/OS-390.announce and docs/README.jp -TD
* make the test-files non-empty, to appease some packaging tools -TD
* check for getpwuid(), use in preference to deprecated cuserid() -TD
* modify curses initialization to permit ^S built-in keymap to work without
needing external stty changes -TD

* modify HTChunkPutb2() to avoid passing a zero-size or null pointer to
memcpy() -TD
* correct loop in fill_addrinfo() which adds sizes of struct addrinfo's found
in getaddrinfo() call; the 2.8.8dev.15 change did not update the pointer to
the struct addrinfo's (Redhat #2185402) -TD
* modify configure script to reduce implicit-function warnings -TD
* add viewport meta-tag to documentation/test files -TD
* update config.guess (2023-08-22), config.sub (2023-09-15)

http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
2023-01-08 (2.9.0dev.12)

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
2.8.8dev.17: as used via the remap() function, this returns the curses
code for a special key rather than Lynx's internal code (Debian #769601) -TD

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

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.
+ CF_MAKEFLAGS: workaround for GNU make 4.0 incompatibility with previous
releases.
+ CF_SUBDIR_PATH: add /usr/pkg and /opt/local to help configuring with
pkgsrc and macports -TD

_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

an "Accept:" line sent to the server (Debian #725178) -TD
* trim unexpected query-parameters from file: URIs when checking for their
presentation and compression types. Not all browsers do this, etc. -TD
* modify forms-submit to trim query-parameters from the action URI if it
happens to be a file-URL. IE and some other browsers do this. The RFCs
do not mention this since forms are an HTTP feature (Debian #738121) -TD

(report by Klaus-Peter Wegge)
* disable EXP_JAPANESEUTF8_SUPPORT if the system has no iconv support -TD
* modify makefiles to perform the src/chrtrans rules from the top-level rather
than via the src-level, solving the issue of "makefile races" -TD
* reviewed minor fixes from OpenBSD CVS for these issues:
- fix makefile races [espie]
- read/write result checking fixes to avoid unsigned comparisons vs -1 [krw]
However, the former is not an improvement; kept only the latter -TD
2014-01-11 (2.8.8pre.3)

for OpenBSD, MirBSD and EkkoBSD (Christian Weisgerber, Thorsten Glaser).
* build-fix for --disable-forms-options -TD
* omit request for admin-access in NullSoft installer, since lynx could be
installed in user's directory -TD
* change Windows default for LYNX_LSS_FILE to not use a directory-path -TD
2013-11-28 (2.8.8pre.1)

contains spaces -TD
* reduce required privileges for installing in lynx.iss -TD

Previous fixes to highlight arbitrarily long links overlooked this case
(Debian #546264) -TD
* modify the INFO page, normally bound to "=", to show decoded strings for
URLs, e.g., which use %xy hexadecimal encoding. The decoded strings are
shown on the line following the encoded URLs if the strings are different.
Also if display-charset is UTF-8, modify -dump "References" URLs to show
the corresponding decoded strings for consistency with the text which is
already in UTF-8. Other URLs such as that shown in the status area are
shown in encoded form per previous discussion which recommending doing this
to address phishing attempts (Debian #398274) -TD

"localhost", e.g.,
file://localhost/XXX
