Voyager is a web browser for Amiga computers. It has been programmed over the last two years by Oliver Wagner <owagner@vapor.com>, and is a part of the VaporWare suite of Internet applications. For more information on VoyagerNG or any of the other VaporWare products, please visit the VaporWare website - http://www.vapor.com/. This is the first public release of VoyagerNG since version 2.88. In the past months, many parts of VoyagerNG's internal workings have been rewritten from scratch. A direct result of this is the implementation of HTTP/1.1 which allows VoyagerNG to use persistent connections to websites in order to decrease load times, the only Amiga web browser capable of this. This version of VoyagerNG has undergone thorough internal beta testing over the last few months. Despite this, some bugs have surely remained. If you do encounter a bug, please submit a bug report to our online BugTrack database, at http://www.vapor.com/bugtrack/ ...thanks! Please subscribe to the VoyagerNG Mailing List if you would like to discuss the program. Details of all VaporWare Mailing Lists are on the website, http://www.vapor.com. VoyagerNG is *SHAREWARE*. You can register it easily with the included registration utility at any of our registration sites around the world. These include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the USA. To use your Credit Card or First Virtual account to register online, just point your browser at http://order.vapor.com/cgi-bin/regform. This is a secure site. All Credit Card orders are processed through the UK registration site, at current UK prices. All First Virtual orders are processed through the USA registration site, at current USA prices. The executable comes in two versions: One, called "V", is compiled for 68000/020/EC030/EC040 CPUs, the other, "V030" is compiled for 68030 CPUs (and up) equipped with an FPU (68881/68882, 040 and 060). The install program should select the right executable for your CPU. (For a full list of changes since version 2.88, please see below). VoyagerNG 2.95's new features include: - Rewritten networking code supporting the HTTP/1.1 standard. This allows Voyager to "park" connections to HTTP/1.1-capable websites in order to use them again as needed. Parked HTTP/1.1 connections show up as grey LEDs. This majorly improves speed when browsing around a web site by eliminating any TCP layer overhead for connection establishment. - Persistant FTP implementation. This allows Voyager to maintain connections to FTP sites instead of reconnecting every time the user does something. This allows for fast access to FTP sites and better FTP browsing. - Voyager is now capable of blitting images to and from Fast RAM on ECS/AGA systems. This totally eliminates the 1/2 MB Chip mem barrier and any problems related to that. - Voyager will now complete a URL you type in as best it can. For example, entering www.yah will have V complete it with "oo.com" if you have recently visited Yahoo. - The print feature has been greatly optimised with options to print graphics, graphics with background, or text only. Voyager also supports Turboprint for printing from 16/24 bit screens. - Searching for text within documents is now possible. - Cache handling has been improved and optimised, including a new Cache browser. - SSL certificate management is included in Voyager's settings area. Note that this feature is only activated when using Voyager's own SSL plugin, not MiamiSSL. - Image decoder now supports the XBM format. - Voyager can now view and save files using MimePrefs. - SSL sessions may now be cached. - Overall layout speed has been heavily improved. - Voyager's context menus now include a WebTV interface. - Voyager has a direct interface to Microdot II for news/mail. Version History =============== [NOTE: Changes prior to version 2.89 have been removed] V2.89 ----- - major speedup during page layout (esspecially obvious on larger pages) and handling - now specifies MUIA_Application_UsedClasses correctly - fixed multi page printing problems with certain printer drivers - fixed a problem with string form elements being layouted too narrow thus causing MUI layout size complaints - fixed a major bug in handling form posts and meta refresh updates causing access to freed memory with all kind of nasty side effects ranging from forms not working up to utter crashes V2.90 ----- - added ScreenToFront and ScreenToBack ARexx commands - fixed POSTing of form data - images are no longer cashed till crash on ECS/AGA systems - no longer constantly tries to open javascript library for every created object (oops), thus slowing down general operation beyond belief V2.91 ----- - fixed and heavily improved POST handling. POST URLs are now properly listed in history, can be reloaded and multi stage POST forms with the same URL don't stupidly reload the first instance from cache - URL loader no longer nukes on path/arg combinations longer than 512 chars - further improved setup speed of link objects - redesigned memory handling of HTML docview. Instead of fragmenting the general all-purpose pool with myriards of small allocs/frees, temporary data is now allocated from the per document pool, which is freed with a general DeletePool() on a document switch - fixed <TEXTAREA> - selecting a form cycle gadget no longer starts dragging - send mail/post news window now work again - fixed <SELECT> handling. No longer limited to 128 chars. Now offers <MULTIPLE> with list representation. Selects with more than 5 entries are now automatically presented as a popup list. V2.91a ------ - now supports FRAMEBORDER correctly - fixed lame deadlock bug introduced in 2.91 V2.91b ------ - single item <SELECT> could fail due to incorrect size calculation - improved setup/rendering speed of table border objects - <FONT> attributes are now reset for ever <TD> and resetted after a table. This should fix many suspected "table bugs". - removed excess TextLength() from calculating anchor label widths, thus speeding up pages with lots of links - fixed problems with "end of transfer" going unnoticed - added "Disable Proxies?" menu item - added "Spoof as Mozilla?" menu item V2.91c ------ - form <select> poplist class didn't properly inherit the current font - plain text was accidentally rendered in <size-1> font, instead of the fixed font - links are now in the window cycle chain and can be reached with tab cycling. Also, string elements in forms now have AdvanceOnCR and do no longer autosubmit as long as there is a submit button in the form - fixed a few broken cycle chains in prefs - improved keyboard control for htmlview. Current mapping: LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN (also 4/8/6/2 on numpad) as expected SHIFT-UP/DOWN (also 9/3 on numpad) page up/down CTRL-UP/DOWN (also 1/7 on numpad) top/bottom SHIFT-LEFT/RIGHT linestart/end CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT linestart/end ALT-LEFT/RIGHT page back/forward NUMKEY-- page back NUMKEY-+ page forward SPACE - page down BACKSPACE - up - key controls now only affect the "active" frame (the one last loaded or last clicked into) V2.91d ------ - file:/// errors now show a proper DOS error string - <TR ALIGN> is now properly inherited - FORM POSTing via Proxies was totally broken - no longer pukes when submitting forms which already had ? in their ACTION URLs - added support for Proxy Authorization - now converts &; entities inside <FORM ACTION> for compatibility with some broken cgi-bins <sigh> - added support for SSL Proxy tunneling - fixed a problem with <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX> objects causing MUI layout complaints due to minimum size violation - plaintext was still rendered using <SIZE-1> font, although calculated with fixed font. V2.91e ------ - fixed catalog string messup introduced in 2.91d - source view window now uses textinput (in non-edit mode) - Voyager SSL now does certificate verification. Unknown certificates are recognized, warned and optionally stored/accepted (note that V will store and accept single server certs if it can't find the issuing authority. This matches NS/MSIE behavior) V2.91f ------ - redesigned prefs window to avoid double frames thus saving display space - added new prefs page to view, enable and disable SSL certs - fixed a problem with framesets not properly recognizing "Document done" state due to a cut off method - added load/save prefs menu commands - added load/save bookmarks menu commands - spoof and noproxy menu states are now properly saved V2.91g ------ - load images now has 4 options: all/imaps only/none and backgrounds. - added "ignore frames" option - added flush document/flush image cache options - cleaned up menu shortcuts - fixed shift-click - fixed loading of individual images (also inside frames) - <TABLE> no longer causes a left/right document frame flush - prefs loader no longer nukes on hosed configuration files - (hopefully) fixed a fancy problem with tables being wordwrapped pointlessly due to rounding problems in weight distribution V2.91h ------ - fixed loading of single images - URL parser failed to merge URLs which had a host, no path but args (happened on some Cookie-Emulation redirect servers). This should fix a lot of "forms related" bugs - checkbox form elements are now properly scaled to font size, and have a proper background - URL arguments weren't passed properly to the server when not using a proxy V2.91i ------ - maximum number of network connections is now properly honored - fixed a problem with URL gets not being properly started up (that's the "images are sometimes(tm) not all loaded" one) under certain race conditions - fixed two potential low-mem crash problems in the image decoder - "Stop" now properly aborts main document get as well as images and subframes - fixed <FORM> ACTION assembly - checkbox sizes were still miscalculated V2.91j ------ - Certificate info now shows serial number and fingerprint - random number generation for SSL is now feed properly with input event data to provide proper seeds - improved SSLeay efficiency - color names are now understood without spaces, too, for Netscape compatibility (i.e. "saddle brown" == "saddlebrown") - totally rewrote management of file downloads. Now has a single "download" window which contains all active downloads. No longer downloads to a ram buffer. Mime "Ask" handling now works properly, as does the handling of unknown media types generally. - tabs in <PRE> were calculated with the wrong font width - prefs are now saved on exit again V2.91k ------ - fixed deadlock when fetching documents from the memory cache - <textarea> didn't properly set minimum line width, thus causing messes inside tables - fixed a few remaining string class instances in the prefs window V2.91l ------ - Referer: referencing to POST result pages was hosed - no longer encodes "-" when encoding form data; legal, but broke some lame cgis - Cookies weren't properly overwriting; this introduced a lot of fancy bugs including www.microsoft.com not working at all - fixed problems with <P> occuring after <TD> - ALIGN=MIDDLE is now thoroughly accepted as an alias to ALIGN=CENTER - <caption> still caused messups most of the time - fixed popup width calculation for <OPTION> V2.91m ------ - fixed a problem with PNG 24bit images with transparency viewing on non truecolor screens causing enforcer hits - fixed handling of grayscale PNGs on non-colormapped screens V2.92a ------ (internal only) V2.92b ------ - internal image decoder now supports XBM bitmaps - image decoder now handles redirected <IMG> pointers - fixed a sync problem in the image class; if a image load was "too fast" and the image wasn't scaled, the image wasn't properly drawn on the final GS_DONE. Liked to show up with broken images and (now) XBMs - completely rewrote networking code from scratch, using a single process multiplexing socket connections and a few sub threads to do DNS lookups with the standard resolver lib. Uses much less resources than before, esspecially in SSL mode. - Now supports HTTP/1.1 persistant connections and chunking, with automagic fallback to HTTP/1.0 for old servers. Open connections are marked with magenta LEDs. V2.92c ------ - starting V with a invalid URL caused enforcer orgy - now stores it's PROGDIR: name in ENV(ARC):Vapor/Voyager_LASTUSEDDIR for Update/Setup and other purposes V2.92d ------ - fixed a serious bug in the HTTP/1.1 chunked handling; if a object contained multiple chunks, only the first two were read properly and major memory trashing occured - fixed a unhandled out-of-memory condition in the PNG decoder V2.92e ------ - clicking on "Stop" caused the main HTML object to be freed and major crashes afterwards - fixed a race condition in the network stream handler which could cause an object to be not terminated properly - fixed a bug in the applet loader V2.92f ------ - fixed a lame duplicate ReleaseSemaphore() bug when switching screens (or changing MUI prefs), causing a exec semaphore-corrupt alert and consecutive crash V2.92g ------ - fixed problems with some strange servers which send a pre HTTP/1.0 response in reply to a HTTP/1.1 request - SSL now works again - fixed a sync problem in HTTP/1.1 fallback; if several 1.1 requests where opened to a host which doesn't do 1.1, only the first failed request was retried as 1.0. This happened when a host which supports 1.1 has <IMG> links to a 1.0-only server (hotmail was a prime example) - POST didn't work at all (broken URL was sent) - fixed problem with "100 Continue" response causing protocol desync - fixed download to file - <INPUT TYPE=image> objects weren't put in the cycle chain V2.92h ------ - "SSL now works again" is no longer a lie (requires updated VSSL plugin version 4.1) - SSL now properly utilizes the session cache to avoid renegotiating of algorithm and certificates for every new link - height for <applet height> wasn't taken into layout calculations - fixed problems with merging absolute URLs (mailto: for example, merged on a normal http:// URL) - fixed problem with <TITLE> forwarding race V2.92i ------ - POST requests are now always executed as HTTP/1.0 in order to avoid problems with several servers not accepting message bodies correctly in a HTTP/1.1 transaction - fixed another race conditions between network handler/layouer causing trash to appear on the display sometimes V2.92j ------ - fixed a problem with lame sites which violate RFC-1866 by not specifying a NAME tag in <INPUT TYPE=image>. This fixes (e.g.) www.teleauskunft.de V2.92k ------ - empty textfields are now also included in form data - added "about:dnscache" to get an overview of the current DNS cache list for debugging purposes - added "about:memcache" to get an overview of in memory objects for debugging purposes - fixed problems with saving of objects to file after they have already been loaded into memory - fixed the network handler to no longer push methods to removed objects (would cause crashes when using framed pages) - HTTP authentication works again V2.92l ------ - fixed startup enforcer hits caused by accidentally referencing scmffp/stdio under certain circumstances - fixed a problem with parked HTTP/1.1 connections being closed exactly when a new request was sent (reason for frequent "Link broke" errors) - fixed a problem with SCROLLING=AUTO not working properly - net loader would crash if a data block >4k was initially pushed (shouldn't have happened during normal network operation) V2.92m ------ - when downloading to file, the file wasn't closed until the netstream itself was closed - fixed startup race which could lead to nukes when a network request was issued before the network server process was actually up - DNS cache now stores all returned IPs for a host, not only the first one - fixed DNS cache preinit to not have a link field with a <stacktrash> next pointer thus causing startup crashes and/or hit flood - fixed a race conditition with the HTTP loader handing a pointer to <uninitialized buffer memory> to it's clients when a object was returned with a valid Content-Length: and before reading any data - will now retry a HTTP/1.1 request as 1.0 if some obscure HTTP protocol error arose with actually receiving a proper error message from the server (fixes servers which are so amazed by HTTP/1.1 requests that they close the link without further notice) 2.92n ----- - fixed another buffer memory race condition when loading data from disk files - fixed a very old bug in the HTML parser which would not terminate properly at the end of data unter certain circumstances and instead return loads of trash. The bug has been there since V0.001, but just liked to show up recently with the new network handling - now converts entities in FORM ACTION URLs again to match NS/MSIE behavior and fix a few totally and utterly lame servers - changed HTML parser to return unknown entities as cleartext instead of blanks - fixed handling of TARGET=_self - fixed resetting of status line after a network error 2.92o ----- - fixed loading of individual images - fixed scroll bar appearance problems for SCROLLING=AUTO pages containing images with unspecified widths - no longer crashes when hitting images with a width >1024 (www.dejanews.com) 2.92p ----- - fixed a lame bug with scrollbar enabling after SCROLLING=AUTO auto magic - fixed TABs in plain HTML text - stoneage bug: V wouldn't properly locate frame names if they were hidden in a nested frameset, thus screwing the TARGET of links - frames without SRC would always show up as "loading" in the status line 2.92q ----- - now always sends relativeURIs even in HTTP/1.1 requests. This is allowed, but somewhat discouraged by RFC1945, however, it should fix a lot of the HTTP/1.1 related problems - finally and for all fixed the "V quits if clock is set back even with a keyfile" annoyance - "Home" will now take you back to the actual configured home page, instead of the root page of the current window - no longer interprets <TAGS> within <TEXTAREA> (well, that's a lie. It actually scans for </TEXTAREA>) 2.92r ----- - now interprets all chars 128-160 as WSP for compatibility with certain funny iso-8859-1 interpretations - fixed a really lame bug causing the network thread to always send requests with version "HTTP/1.%s"... - added several more hooks for creating JS objects "on the fly" 2.92s ----- - added status line gadget showing a key to symbolize SSL and data source (internal, file, http/1.0-1.1, ftp) status - now writes to mem cache again - now creates cache directory if not found (instead of blatantly writing flatly on SYS:) - now correctly interprets "Pragma: No-Cache" headers when fetching objects - fixed handling of <TT> (had some funny interaction with <PRE>) - fixed minwidth calculation of listview style <SELECT>s - skipping of unknown entities in parsing raw HTML didn't work (worked when converting entities in <TAG> args, though) - fixed handling of 2.92t ----- [Note: Delete all the Cache/CIX_xx directories as they may contain broken cache objects] - fixed listview <SELECT> widths. Really this time. Not kidding. - file:/// no longer allows access to pathes containing PIPE: - fixed reload operation - now interprets &entities; in <IMG SRC> as well <sigh> - V would store bullshit in the document length part of the cacheheader if the document was retrieved without Content-Length:, thus nuking on reload - no longer caches error/redirect responses - now also caches HTTP/1.1 chunked objects 2.92u ----- - increased "scan depth" for image identification to better cope with XBM images which have longish comments at th beginning - frames no longer loose the "active" URL upon a border/window resize - now also interprets &entities; in <FRAME SRC> specs - fixed a problem with buffering of <SCRIPT> contents not properly terminating if desynched comments were part of the script stuff - fixed background color of status gadget 2.92v ----- - fixed aborting of image load on "Stop" 2.92w ----- - fixed unknown-entity-causing-layout-abort bug - no longer resets the "Location:" field after showing an network error requester - cache verify now works again - reenabled ftp/gopher/wais support via proxy - HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 images were exchanged in window status bar - fixed a few status line screwups 2.92x ----- - authentication window now uses textinput objects as well - ftp:// support now works again, and is generally ultra cool. Deals with ftp://password:user@host/ URLs. Deals with ftp://user@host/ as well, asking for a password via authentication requester. Uses firewall-friendly PASV mode. - fixed lame crash-on-exit bug caused by post-mortem message queueing 2.92y ----- - 2-3x text layout speed increase with a hyper-optimized caching textlen/textfit replacement - fixed a lame bug in the table layout code which puked when weighting a unspecified colspanning cell with a excessive minimum width - fixed a race condition in the led class cleanup 2.92y2 ------ - fixed width calculation for unknown characters - added smart URL autocompletion: "http://" will now be inserted "on the fly" when typing a hostname only. Also, performs matching with the last visited URL history and will auto-complete the URL based on that. Requires textinput 13.32++ - fixed a longstanding lameness in <FRAME SCROLLING=AUTO> handling causing excess (invisible) internal refreshes, thus wasting speed. Also fixes the deadlock bug introduced in 2.92y 2.92z ----- - did some general code cleanup and minor speed improvement in the handling of form elements - no longer sets the internal "HTTP/1.1 failed for this host" flag when a HTTP/1.1 simply timed out midst-request - added calling of MIMEPrefs from menu - another lame webmaster workaround: now accepts <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON> as an alias for <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT> - fixed an incredible lame bug in the network handler which would attempt to set led nr. -1 (!) after closing a stream, thus nuking several internal data structures and finally causing hell-on-exit. Fix also removed several uncessary led refreshes. 2.93a ----- - now supports <TD HEIGHT=pixel> - text layout word wrap now also breaks on hyphens - Network status window works again. Also fixed all the old bugs regarding status update, and made the design more simplicistic and less overcrowded. - fixed another bug related to bogus assignment of network status leds, leading to LEDs being used twice and other confusing stuff - fixed a boring bug in table layout which caused table cells to be made 1 pixel (per spanned cell) too small if the width was given in pixels (changed alpha numbering scheme here) 2.93.2 ------ - fixed a bug in FRAMESET autoscroll management: when a frameset actually needed scrollers, but was too small to hold them, the scrollgroup object wasn't created and a bogus or NULL pointer was taken for the object, causing general nuke. - internal ftp didn't work at all with as225 TCP/IP API - URL history now works by "best fit", not "first fit" matching - now utilizies global MIME prefs instead of internal MIME settings - reworked mail/news app section of general prefs - URL strings no longer do a bogus URL completion when pressing enter - URL string completion now also works in the fastlink prefs - gif anims are now internally "hold" while being scrolled off the screen. This reduces system load when a page contains many off-screen gif anims. - (hopefully) fixed the GIF anim timing problems 2.93.3 ------ - internal textfit would nuke if no char fitted and the soft style had bold/italics in it. On the surface this showed up when an attempt was made to layout bold/italic text into a very narrow frameset, causing a total puke of the layout engine. - fixed a tiny, but nevertheless fatal bug in the frame layout code which would cause framesets to be below their Absolute Minimum Size and thus causing a layout nuke of the topmost frame object, resulting in neverending window refresh loops. Now aborts layout if a frameset specification is really too obscure to be shown properly; this also fixes the frameset loop hole. - ftp:// now actually transfers in binary mode 2.93.4 ------ - frameset interpretation now silently transforms a single "%" without numbers into a "*" - fixed interpretation of the "View internally?" MIMEPrefs flag - fixed resetting of <title> buffer - frameset layout would skip the check for scrollers yes/no on the final layout run, thus effectivly disabling scrollers for pages which were designed to layout in one go (i.e. huge tables) - URL parser failed on URLs of the form http://hotdog.sexhound.com/?code=158z, leaving a NULL pointer in the path part and causing all kind of NULL PTR ref hits later on - the network stream number assignment was totally hosed, causing all streams to use the same led and status window entry - ftp:// was nuked and hung after sending the passwords - no longer creates text objects which consist entirely of WSP; uses less memory and renders faster. 2.93.5 ------ - included version 4.2 of voyager_ssleay.vlib (removed debug and recompiled with full optimization) - a recent cleanup in the table layout code introduced a potential division by zero possibility, which is now properly taken care of 2.93.6 ------ - fixed a potential race condition in the network handler processes cleanup which could lead to crash-on-exit by Signal()ing nonexistant processes. - network handler will no longer sit around stupidly on quit waiting for all network activity to settle donw - network handler will now give up (bsd)socket and miamibase when receiving a CTRL^C, and reopen them later on demand. This should make V work properly with the Miami "forced offline" feature. - MiamiSSL support totally forgot to call SSL_ctx_new(), thus causing a General Puke. - Persistant FTP now works. FTP connections to a server are not closed after a successfull LIST or RETR, but kept open for as long as possible, to avoid additional TCP and protocol overhead when further objects are retrieved from the server. This makes browsing around an FTP site as fast as with a "real" FTP client. - find-mime-type-by-extension now knows about a minimum set of file extesion/mime type mappings to at least permit viewing of local HTML stuff without a proper MIME prefs setup. - now automatically starts MIMEPrefs if no ENV:MIME.prefs file is found 2.93.7 ------ - ftp:// failed to deal with multi-line responses before being logged in completely, thus nuking with e.g. WarFTPD. - fixed nonsaving of "Keep FTP connections?" menu item - fixed problems with SSL and HTTP/1.1 screwup - fixed SSL via Proxy 2.93.8 ------ - html: fixed handling of relative links with missing host specifications (i.e. http:/bah/bull.txt relative to http://boring.server.com/path) - imagedecoder: lifted general 1024 pixel width limit - imagedecoder: fixed loss of mask bitmap when refering to a cached image node (most notably after window resize or "Back") - network: fixed problems with manually accepted SSL certificates causing a internal list trash 2.93.9 ------ - stream handler: fixed problem with MIME prefs view modes "Use Internal Viewer?" and "Streaming" causing the media handling to fail and simply sit idle - layouter: for some obscure reason, hitting an <IMG> tag caused the whitespace eat up to terminate, causing funny layouts afterwards - layouter: some obscure things happend with <P> status across tables/table cells 2.93.10 ------- - layouter: fixed handling of <P> with missing </P> again - layouter: <BIG> and <SMALL> wasn't properly pushing current font settings on the stack - gui: default pattern for "Open file" is now "#?" - imagedecoder: jpeg/gif decoders failed to "lock" stream data into memory and thus nuked when a stream was displaced in memory due to a buffer increment. This probably fixes a few "strange image trashing" problems which are nearly impossible to reproduce. - layouter: added workaround for missing </CAPTION> tags - parser: is now more strict on when recognizing quotes and when not. Should fix bad, but sadly common code like <TAG ATTRIBUTE=VALUE">. This probably fixes many obscure layout "bugs". - url-parser: fixed merging of absolute URIs without a host specification again (i.e. mailto:) 2.93.11 ------- - imagedecoder: fix in 2.93.10 had a missing ReleaseSemaphore(), thus deadlocking RSN in slow network environments 2.93.12 ------- - layouter: argh. hate. <P> works now like in NS/MSIE. Really. If not, shoot me. - parser: blatantly skipped tags following a  - layouter: now understands <IMG VALIGN=> for MSIE compatibility 2.93.13 ------- - layouter: fixed a problem with table cells getting obscure weightings when layouting a table which had no single rowspan=1/colspan=1 cell with a defined value - layouter: now deals with bogus table constructs like <TD WIDTH=50%<TD><TD WIDTH=300> in a more Netscapeish way 2.93.14 ------- - net: fixed saving to file of streams with "unknown length" (mostly chunked HTTP/1.1 streams) - net: fixed various problems with external viewing, saving and related operations - gui: added a "View with WebTV" menu entry to the image RMB menus. Will automatically locate WebTV and start it with appriopriate parameters. - layouter: no longer dies on <textarea> without closing </textarea> - layouter: now deals with the header <STYLE> element correctly 2.93.15 ------- - imagedecoder: passing of mask bitmaps for ready-made images was still hosed - imagedecoder: now allocates all imagery in fast mem even when running on ECS/AGA. Image class automatically moves images to chip mem for blitting "on demand", using smart buffering. This lifts the total limit of graphics on a single web page far beyond the size of chip mem, makes the image cache no longer eat up chip mem and generally speeds up image decoding as all the trickery with chunky/planar conversion and mask generation now takes place in fast instead of chip mem. This also obsoletes "Legacy GFX board support". - layouter: now better sticks to <TD WIDTH=%> specifications when the table contains colspanning rows - layouter: improved table min/max size cache to also cache <TABLE WIDTH=%s>. Increases layout speed of nested table pages heavily. 2.93.16 ------- - layouter: will no longer relayout a complete page when the window is resized and the contents are of static width. - gui: led array didn't clear it's background properly 2.93.17 ------- - imagedecoder: fixed handling of scaled bitmaps which was broken in 2.93.15 - net: about:cache works again - layouter: changed default image alignment - layouter: <IMG> now counts as a non-white-space in terms of collapsing WSP sequences. - display: fixed several problems when V was iconfied or switching windows or resized while a page was loading - net: RFC date converter now assumes dates in the form "1 Jan 00" to be actually "1 Jan 2000", instead of "1-Jan-78". Should fix Cookie trouble. - prefs: removed obsolete "Legacy GFX software" item. - net: (hopefully) fixed as225r2 incompatibility which slipped in recently 2.93.18 ------- - imagedecoder: fixed all kind of minor and major and evil bugs related to AGA fastmem buffering 2.93.19 ------- - imagedecoder: wouldn't cache images on ECS/AGA for historical reasons even if "Cache Images?" was turned on - net: reimplemented internal SMTP - cache: disk cache limitation now works again, both automatic and "Empty cache now" in the prefs. Automatic cache pruning is done with a very low priority subthread straight at startup which doesn't interfere with normal V operation. 2.93.20 ------- - layouter: frameborder=x is now inherited from parent framesets - layouter: <TR> arguments are now inherited by <TD> even if a cell contains a subtable - imagedecoder: restore_to_background disposal method was totally broken and could even cause crash in double buffered mode - imagedecoder: GIF decoder now silently skips bogus length 0 data subblocks. This fixes several GIF anims which didn't show all blocks due to early termination of the decoding process. - imagedecoder: fixed GIF anim delays being off by 1 frame - imagedecoder: would skip the 2nd frame in a GIF anim on first loop - net: fixed a rather lame bug in stream handling. When the maximum number of streams was used up and nodes were put on "hold", they wouldn't be kicked into life until the next 5 second timer event was triggered, thus unnecessarily slowing down operation. 2.93.21 ------- - net: wouldn't reuse parked connections to a host when all sockets were either parked or otherwise busy, thus wasting time until the next parked connection timed out. Argh. - net: now forcefully closes parked connections in favour of "fresh" ones. Fixes a load of problems when the TCP/IP stack missed the server closing the socket, or FTP connections with excessive timeouts were parked - gui: window would falsely show HTTP/1.1 state for sites which in fact did only HTTP/1.0, but didn't error out on the 1.1 request (www.vapor.com, for example :) - net: stop button now <drumroll> works! - gui: it's now possible to "Load image" images which have been aborted before - gui: fixed URL completion to return best match (again, was still broken before) 2.93.22 ------- - net: fixed a serious race condition in IPC which could lead to methods pushed to a "dead" object, esspecially in conjunction with frames.

Showed up most often on quit. - gui: download window now uses nlist.mcc if available - image decoder: fixed a really stoneage bug which would cause mem trashing if a interlaced GIF picture was smaller than 4 lines (bogus, but happens). That was the reason for the www.aande.com crash. 2.93.28 ------- - layouter: would deadlock on missing <TD> under certain circumstances (basically, when the internal "tag negate" flag was either uninitialized or left set from a previous tag). This fixes adoom.ml.org. 2.93.29 ------- - printing: "gfx dump without background" now uses a white backfill to avoid color wasting and bogus dithering - printing: will now detect and utilize TurboPrint 4.1 and up special printing modes.
