JFYI /The Killer :) ----- Forwarded message from Petr Baudis ----- Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 20:19:05 +0100 From: Petr Baudis Subject: [elinks-users] [ANNOUNCE] elinks-0.5pre10 (Skyrider) To: elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Hello, here goes 0.5pre10. It is 0.5pre9 + few almost meaningless changes (internal cleanups) + an updated ChangeLog ;-). A lot of fixes went in, as well as yet another field day, this time for the BFU code. Of course, a lot of cool cleanups were going on in the other parts of code as well. We now have special plaintext renderer, cache handling was touched a little, as well as the other HTML renderer stuff etc. I hope this release will be better than the previous ones regarding stability, but you never know. The main bugfixing eras are yet to come, some stuff is still being cleaned up (the big cleanups will soon end, though). A lot of new features are scheduled yet, though, so stay tuned. Cookies manager may hit the shelves as well as local CGIs support, marks support and some other sweet stuff. Ideally, ELinks should be The Killer Text Browsers at the time of 0.5.0 - the only drawbacks to the other text browsers should be lack of proper Unicode support and perhaps some SSL deficiences. Otherwise, it should be da best, lynx and w3m having zero chance to compete against it ;-). Also, please note that this is a partially-blind release, I didn't manage to review all the patches which went to CVS yet - I hope I will catch soon, though. Have fun. I will be writing another mail shortly (probably rather brief) regarding the short-term roadmap. Users, please expect this to be unstable as hell and crash now and then --- but please report any bugs you will encounter, shall we fix them (http://bugzilla.elinks.or.cz/). Distribution packagers, please wait yet (unless you are about to push to some experimental-like train - this is really not yet ready for the wide public). Translators, please translate and get CVS access. Patchsubmitters, I know about you and your pending patches, but maybe I don't, resubmit if you don't know. So, the main changes in elinks-0.5pre10 are: * Random crash/other fixes ;-) * Fixed cygwin compilation * Fixed broken compilation w/ --disable-nls * Fixed obscure cases of link underlining * Fixed various problems with cache handling and shrinking * Fixed some frames loading problems * Fixed handling of symlinks which we can't read * Fixed refresh handling in some corner cases * Fixed sending of referer at bad occassions * Fixed in-frame documents not being added to the global history * Fixed elements' alignment not being set properly * Fixed Help::Keys not showing current keybindings * Fixed some URLs being rewritten strangely * ELusive dream is gone until 0.6pre * libtool nightmare is gone until DSO (or ideally forever, it's terrible!) * Massive BFU cleanup and simplification of dialogs creation * Introduction of plaintext renderer * Support for GNU Screen clipboard * Support for X509 client certificates (with OpenSSL) * Linkify URIs in plaintext documents (by default off, experimental) * Compilation option to disable running of ELinks as root (off by default) * Form history can now selectively not-remember password for a site * You can now bookmark stuff in global history dialog * The document info shows more information about the link target, if it can be retrieved from the globhist * Configurable tab separator colors * Handled id attributes for table cells * Ask for confirmation when closing a tab (off by default), about quit when closing the last tab * When saving stuff or displaying help, color values are shown in English instead of hex RGB, if possible * : char is considered shell-safe now * French translation updates * Polish translation updates * Czech translation updates * Italian translation updates * Hungarian translation updates Please see ChangeLog for full list of changes and credits (together with AUTHORS).
