\ \ / 3 | Voyager 3.0
\ V / | Prerelease 5 (01.11.99)
\_/ | http://v3.vapor.com/
Welcome to the 3rd Generation of Voyager.
NOTA BENE: This is a snapshot of a work in progress, not a
finished product. It may crash, burn and nuke, cause loss of
data, and hair. It is incomplete. Handle with care. You have
been warned.
NOTA BENE²: There is a considerable lack of any documentation
at the moment. Dealing with it requires a good knowledge
of AmigaOS and program installation (although you can normally
just copy the distribution drawer to your harddisk and run it
from there)
NOTA BENE³: This version requires an 68020 CPU or better.
The VFlash plugin is currently NOT included in this
archive, as the update is still in internal testing.
VFlash 0.16, as included in the pre4 archive, will still
work. An individual VFlash update will be released later on.
============================================================
Pre5 is mainly a bug-fix release. Please see below
for a detailed list of changes since pre4.
------------------------------------------------------------
Not-So-Newsflash: Changes since V3.0pre3:
· Now works in demo mode without a keyfile
· A first PPC version of the Flash player
· New toolbar images by Loonstar
· Bugfixes. In fact, this is mainly intended
as a bugfix release.
------------------------------------------------------------
Not-So-Newsflash: Changes since V3.0pre2:
· HTTP/1.1 and FTP Resume support
· OpenSSL 0.9.4 support
· Site Password Manager
· Cookie Browser
· Bugfixes, minor enhancements, Bugfixes,
and more Bugfixes. See below.
------------------------------------------------------------
Even-Less-So-Newsflash: Changes since V3.0pre1:
· configurable toolbar, allowing for custom Rexx
or Javascript commands and custom imagery
· major speedup in layouting complex tables
· VFlash now compiled for different architectures,
and supporting sound (using AHI)
· Bugfixes galore.
See below for a detailed list of changes.
============================================================
So enough ranting, now to the bright side. What's new?
· Javascript. Javascript 1.3, implemented as a nifty just-in-time
bytecode compiler for maximum efficiency on our dusty 680x0 class
machines.
· Heavily improved GUI, allowing custom placement of control
panels using Szymon Ulatowski's excellent Tearoff classes
(http://amiga.org.pl/~szulat/). Create fastlinks by simply
dropping an URL in the fast link panel area. Reworked
MENU structure to be overally more sensible. Added support
for wheel mice using the NewMouse standard.
· Fully configurable toolbar with standard and custom
ARexx/JS commands using Simone Tellini's "SpeedBar" custom
class.
· Much faster layout, with up to 500% speed gain on
nested tables, compared to V3pre1 and older versions.
· Heavily improved plugin API now allowing for embedded
objects which can handle any MIME type.
· As a first application of aforementioned plugin API:
A shockwave flash player. Unlike the freeware player which
was circulating recently, it supports embedded movies and
URL handling.
· SSLv3/TLSv1 security support utilizing OpenSSL
(http://www.openssl.org/). Also deals with the recent
catchword "SGC" by offering 128 bit encryption all the
time, not only when US crypto laws permit.
· Modularized image decoders, offered in a wide
variety, for all kinds of Amiga hardware. Voyager
automagically selects the one best suited for your machine
during start. Also updated are libjpeg and libpng to recent
versions. Now also supports "smart" incremental JPEG decoding.
· New Bookmark system using CManager.mcc, sharing
URLs and everything with other Vapor applications.
· Improved Cache system which now honours HTTP/1.1 Expires:
header - much faster loading with properly configured web
servers, as cache freshness doesn't need to be verified.
· Numerous other changes. Please refer to the detailed version
history at the end of this document.
ToDo
====
Well, what's still to do?
· Full optimisation build. This one has been built
without any code optimisation, and thus is considerably
slower than any possible release (especially for
computing-intensive tasks, like layouting or
image decoding)
· JS: Some properties and methods are known to not be fully
implemented yet. The worst part is that, as with HTML,
there is a huge descrepancy with Javascript as it is in the
books, and Javascript as it's used by Web"masters" around
the world. Silly, ineffecient constructs and abuse of
implementation side-effects seem to be a must, and it needs
lots of work to properly mimick the behavior. Most
notably lacking are currently <SCRIPT SRC=url>, handling of
JS entities <IMG SRC=&{js-code};>
· ARexx: The ARexx-Port needs as much as work as
it needed in previous versions. On top of the list
is the exposure of the JS interpreter via ARexx, allowing
you to do nifty things (tm) with the DOM of loaded
documents.
· HTML: Still lots of minor and major stuff to improve
· Flash: Speed.
· Image decoders: A PPC version (now not too far away
due to the modularized concept)
· Printing still sucks, and possibly will nuke when
you try. Avoid it for now.
· Debugging. Debugging. More Debugging.
Updates to V³ will be released frequently. If you install
vapor_update.library, you will be automatically informed.
Support & Bug reporting
=======================
Bug reports are appreciated, just stuff as much information
as possible into them. A quick glance at the V
mailing list will reveal whether 50000 people have already
reported before. The JSERROR.LOG functionality will
come in handy for dealing with JS quirks.
There's now an automated bug tracking system located at
http://bugs.vapor.com/
To submit a bug report, simply mail it to
<voyager-bugs@vapor.com>
You will receive a receipt and a tracking ID, which allows
you to track your bug report stats in the bug database.
Please join the Voyager mailing list to discuss this beta
release. Please do not contact any of the authors directly -
their time is severly limited, and chances are good that
you want them to do some work on the code instead of
answering mail all day long :)
To subscribe, mail to
<voyager-request@vapor.com>
and put "SUBSCRIBE" in the subject or body of the mail.

site design.
Version History
===============
[NOTE: Changes prior to version 2.95 have been removed]
2.96.1
------
- net: fixed a lame bug: when successfully verifying an
existant cache object, it was never actually updated
on disk as a read lock was kept on the file.
2.96.3
------
- layouter: fixed problem with tables embedded in lists
2.96.4
------
- net: added new option "Ignore server sent MIME types?".
Disables matching filetypes by HTTP Content-Type:
header and instead uses file extension matching.
2.96.5
------
(intermediate WOA show version)
2.96.6
------
- prefs: added support for Contact Manager
- prefs: now saves a .BAK file of the bookmarks
2.96.7
------
[NC2 compile]
2.96.8
------
- net: fixed handling of %hh URL escape codes in FTP
pathes
2.96.9
------
- general: timeout fix (ahem)
- general: added support for "vapor_update.library"
2.96.10
-------
- net: fixed handling of stoneage HTTP/0.9 server replies.
This showed up with the xxx.to redirect services.
2.96.11
-------
- general: will now check whether files passed via WBArgs
are actually config files; if not, it will open them
with file:///
- net: SSL cert info requester referenced uninitialized
memory and thus trashed up big time
2.96.12
-------
- net: fixed SSL over proxy. V was actually sending full
encoded URLs to the CONNECTed server, handling SSL PROXY
like plain HTTP proxies. Ahem.
2.96.13
-------
- layouter: added support for <TABLE/TR/TD BACKGROUND> images
2.96.14
-------
- net: bah. Prefs flag screwup caused "Ignore server MIME types"
to be set all the time. Prefs also weren't saved. Bah.
2.96.15
-------
- prefs: env:VAPOR/VOYAGER_LASTUSEDDIR wasn't saved
2.96.16
-------
- layouter: fixed handling of small <SELECT>s in popup mode
- net: Cookie path comparision was screwed.
- net: Cookies which had no path= were saved with the current
path, instead of "/"
2.96.17
-------
- JS: added JS support, actually in form of a just-in-time
bytecode-interpreting compiler. Parser, compiler,
interpreter, stack is working. Completely missing DOM
at this stage.
2.96.18
-------
- Prefs: added Javascript page, with global JS enabling
and JS debugging enabling. Disabling debuging will cause
the compiler to not place line number information in
the resulting bytecode. This is faster and uses less
memory, but run time errors will not show any line numbers.
2.96.19
-------
- GUI: fixed a few problems with bogus help bubbles
- Net: fixed a bug in nethandler to avoid causing
broken http URLs (e.g. http:path) to access
NULL pointers and eventually crash
2.96.20
-------
- General: Now utilizes vapor_toolkit.library
- JS: added function call handling
- JS: added variable handling
- JS: added void(expr) and typeof(expr)
- JS: totally removed internal int type to simplify
expression handler
- JS: fixed short circuit evaluation for ?: conditional
operators and || and && logical operators
- JS: added "," operator
- JS: added "delete" to grammar
- JS: added multi-dimensional array references to grammar
- JS: added "new objectname" syntax to grammar
- HTML: added <NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> handling
2.96.21
-------
- General: again using AmigaOS math libraries and IEEE
math format
- Cache: Cleanup is now no longer done on every start.
V keeps an estimated cache size based on cache flush
and input, and only starts a cleanup operation when
the estimated size exceeds the limit, or 30 days
after the last cleanup
2.96.22
-------
- GUI: Main window now uses Tearoff.mcc to allow vanilla
gui customization. The tearoff settings are saved
to ENV/ENVARC when snapshotting the window.
2.96.23
-------
- JS: fixed (lvalue) syntax in grammar
- JS: fixed lexer not dealing with \r as the only
line termination character
2.96.24
-------
- Net: Cookies with subpathes still weren't sent
properly. Grrr.
- Layouter: restructured font handling. No longer
calls upon AmigaOS font handling for every
html class layout. Also reduced memory usage by
about 7k per class instance, and reduced
time consuming side effects caused when nonexistant
fonts are specified and diskfont tries to reload
them all the time (notably with Frames)
2.96.25
-------
- Gfx: low chip mem situation handling
wasn't foolproof. Failure of being
able to obtain a buffer bitmap was detected,
but the original fastmem image was still
copied into the (nonexistant) chip planes.
Blam.
- Gfx: image decoder is now external.
V loads the proper image decoder based
on the system configuration (CPU/FPU)
from Plugins/imgdecode_[arch].vlib.
2.96.26
-------
- Net: net handler now tries to recv()
as much data as is available, and not
wait for the next select. This should
considerably improve behavior with
masive amounts of connections (i.e.
porn thumbnail sites)
2.96.27
-------
- General: about: now shows the
vimgdecode_vlib and voyager_ssleay.vlib
version & dates
- Parser: the meaning of NOSCRIPT was
reversed; NOSCRIPT stuff was processed when
JS was enabled and vice-versa. Note that
you have to disable JS now to view sites
which build content dynamically (i.e.
www.thehun.net)
- GUI: fixed horizontal layouting of fastlinks
- GUI: rewrote saving of tearoff settings.
Now uses a clean approach with a special
dataspace which is saved on quit.
Note that the settings are currently only
saved to ENV:MUI/Voyager.tearoff, I haven't
decided when to save to ENVARC: as well
yet
2.96.28
-------
- Imagedecoder: fixed low chip mem handler
return code (would always return MEM_DID_NOTHING;
now returns MEM_TRY_AGAIN when memory was freed
- Imagedecoder: low chip mem handler would
access a unsemaphored main thread pool and
thus could Nuke Heavily® under certain cirumstances
when triggered
- General: Shell arguments are now tested if they
point to actual files; if so, they are opened
with file:///
- GUI: removed now obsolete "Show Fastlinks"
menu item
2.96.29
-------
- GUI: fixed horizontal fastlink layout weighting
2.96.30
-------
- Parser: V will now send <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN> elements
in sequence with other form elements. This should fix several
broken cgi scripts which relied upon the NS/MSIE sequence
of argument passing (for example http://clickboom.com/portal)
- GUI: source view is now editable, and has a "OK" button
to submit changes to all browser windows (I seriously hope
this helps getting more detailed bug reports :^)
- GUI: added CManager.mcc support (to replace Bookmarks.mcc).
Note: SaveAs and Goto isn't working yet
- Net: modified network handler to no longer do a gethostbyname()
for IP addresses. This should fix problems when trying to access
hosts by IP which don't have working reverse lookup.
- JS: implemented local var handling
- JS: implemented "var x;" and "var x=y;"
2.96.31
-------
- GUI: fixed CM interfacing
2.96.32
-------
- Net: added "about:cachestats" to get a short cache status
overview
- Net: now uses inet_addr() to resolve "host names"; should fix
problems when a IP address URL points to a host which has
no working reverse DN
- GUI: now uses new CManager.mcc AddEntry method to insert
new entries at the currently selected leaf node
- Net: fixed a lame bug introduced with the polling
read improvement from 2.96.26. Would lose bytes during
transfer and cause general network suckness. This is
the reason for all the trashed imagery et.all. reported
recently.
- JS: began adding DOM handling
2.96.33
-------
- Net: fixed the lame bug mentioned above, really this time
- Layouter: longstanding issue: changed the additional space
calculated for italic text to 1 pixel
- Imagedecoder: fixed another possible trashing in finding
space for chipmem bitmap clones
2.96.34
-------
- GUI: began menu redesign
2.96.35
-------
- Imagedecoder: changed low memory handler to actually
flush in place instead of relying on the image decoder
process to do the job. Also returns more sensible
error codes.
- Imagedecoder: updated to libjpeg 6b
- Imagedecoder: updated to libpng 1.0.3. Should fix all
of the PNG related griefs reported so far
- Prefs: now properly passes down image related
preferences to the decoder lib. Yes, you get
dithering again :)
2.96.36
-------
- General: will now detect running Executive and
tell it to keep V's subprocess relative priorities
in order. Thanks to David Gerber for the code.
2.96.37
-------
- Imagedecoder: upgraded to use zlib 1.1.3 with
faster decrypting
- Imagedecoder: rewrote low mem handler again
to not attempt to ReleasePen() or nets_close()
from within the handler
- Imagedecoder: ultra lame bug: The low mem handler
for the chip mem buffered bitmap clones was
always returning MEM_TRY_AGAIN no matter what,
and exec obeyed, causing a total deadlock
on a memory flush.
- GUI: upgraded WebTV to WebVision interface
- HTML: added © and ® entities
- Layouter: handling of within table
cells was hosed (would be eaten up like
any other WSP)
- Cache: images are no longer kept in memory
as raw stream data, thus wasting double
memory (decoded and stream). Should be
easily be reloaded from disk cache if
a relayout of the image becomes necessary
(due to screen change or stuff)
2.96.38
-------
- Net: added "about:verifylist" to get
a list of verified cached URLs
(debugging)
- Imagedecoder: fixed mask bitplane
allocation to not pass a friend bitmap
(caused CGFX4 throwups)
- Imagedecoder: hm, stupid design issue:
when the lowmem handler was triggered
because of the image decoder itself
being unable to allocate bitmap
data, it wouldn't free anything
because the list sempahore was
already locked. Erm. Not useful. Fixed.
- Imagedecoder: Will now also release
the image buffers when general free
memory drops below 512k
2.96.39
-------
- Imagedecoder: failure to allocate
memory for a PNG image would call
term_gif(), causing Havoc(tm)
- Imagedecoder: wouldn't allocate a
mask plane for background/alpha PNG
images, but nevertheless render
into it. Ahem.
- Imagedecoder: Activated PNG Gamme correction.
2.96.40
-------
- SSL: added support for new
voyager_ssl.vlib (port of
OpenSSL 0.9.2b), currently with
SSL v3 support only
- SSL: upgraded certificates
- JS: got DOM tree handling to work
- JS-DOM: added "navigator" object
2.96.41
-------
- JS-DOM: fixed a serious quirk
in the object reference search
code
2.96.42
-------
- Layouter: <HR WIDTH=0> would create
an object with illegal dimensions
(www.freshmeat.net)
- Layouter: fixed form activation
- Layouter: now figures out whether
there were closed tables during
incremental runs, and postpones
rendering otherwise. Should speed
up rendering esspecially of excessivly
large HTML
2.96.43
-------
- Layouter: URL escaping is now done
with upper case hex digits, to work
around broken cgi's which don't deescape,
but do a 1:1 match
- Layouter: fixed table nest calculation
bug introduced in 2.96.42
- JS_DOM: began implementing the "document"
object
2.96.44
-------
- Net: NULL ptr reference when converting
dates with an unknown time zone (could
happen with Cookies)
2.96.45
-------
- GUI: "About:" didn't show proper SSL
library
- JS: began adding "smart" property
handling, i.e. properties which actually
need underlying code to be fulfilled.
Unfinished.
2.96.46
-------
- Net: uninitialized "last URL got"
variable could cause bogus pointer
reference when switching documents
2.96.47
-------
- Net: fixed handling of <A TARGET=_new>
2.96.48
-------
- JS: added missing navigator properties
- Net: optimized textual status report
generation
- Net: fixed an rather bizarre side-effect
of partial URI Location: redirects
causing enforcer hits in the network handler
because the image deoders attempted
to open the partial URL as a netstream
- GUI: hopefully fixed all causes for crashes
on iconify
- GUI: source view now uses TI "HTML"
style to highlite tags
2.96.49
-------
- Cache: stops creating PROGDIR:Cache everytime (Zapek)
- Net: cookies are now loaded properly if the Cache directory is different
than PROGDIR:Cache (Zapek)
- GUI: "Cleanup list" in Downloads window is faster (Zapek)
- GUI: source view displays the URL in a TextinputObject (Zapek)
- GUI: clicking on the leds opens the Network Status window (Zapek)
- General: URLs without a scheme passed on the command line or via ARexx will
now be prefixed with "http://" (KingGuppy)
- GUI: "Autoclose window?" in the Downloads window is now saved with the
prefs (Zapek)
- GUI: added "Save prefs on exit" option (Zapek)
- GUI: moved "Ask for downloading dir" menu into the prefs (Zapek)
- GUI: added a "Links" section into the prefs (Zapek)
- GUI: added a switch to stop the transfer animation immediately when there's
no activity instead of waiting for the loop to complete (Zapek)
- Bookmark: Now you can Add URLs to CManager. Adds it to the entry currently
selected (Zapek)
2.96.50
-------
- GUI: added percentage for downloads (Zapek)
- GUI: Fixed "Ask for downloading dir" always being disabled (KingGuppy)
- General: the URL is in the comment of a downloaded file (Zapek)
- GUI: "Autoclose window?" is saved when you do it manually too (Zapek)
- General: removed stale CM debugging code (Olli)
- General: reenabled catalog loading, in preparation for a localisation
fix (Olli)
- GUI: fixed fastlink group recalculation after a prefs change
(may have caused crashes under certain circumstances) (Olli)
- GUI: prefs window has now has additional frame with PageBack (Olli)
- HTML: rewrote HTML parser from scratch. Should now be more robust
against bizarre nuked tags, be much faster and gracefully deal with obscure
quotation errors in argument values. This may fix several reported
"HTML errors" (Olli)
- Prefs: changed default background color to white (Olli)
- GUI: fastlink buttons now accept dragged URLs and store them (Olli)
- GUI: fastlink buttons can now be swapped by drag&drop (Olli)
- GUI: fastlink buttons minimum size is no longer fixed (Olli)
- GUI: reduced the tearoffpanel inner spacing (Olli)
- GUI: topmost tearoff bay now has reasonable default settings
(see tearoff RMB menu to revert to that) (Olli)
- GUI: moved transfer animation into Navigation tearoff panel (Olli)
2.96.51
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .51
- Cache: fixed possible wrong creation of files when the path wasn't ending
with a '/' (Zapek)
- General: added a workaround to help Executive get the Real priority of the
V process. it helps a bit but there's no easy solution for that problem
(Zapek)
- GUI: it's now possible to drag URLs to the fastlink panel and drop them
there for automatic adding (Olli)
- GUI: link objects now return something smart for their title (handy
when auto-adding them to fastlinks) (Olli)
- Cache: V's Cache Cutter runs with a nice priority of +20 if Executive is
running. note that a "nice priority" is an internal priority used by
Executive. not an AmigaOS one (and +20 means nicer) (Zapek)
- GUI: fixed referecing of removed objects during shutdown. Individual
removing of bm and download window during close wasn't necessary
anyway. Should fix potential hit&crash-on-exit. (Olli)
- General: Ok, the details of this are far too lame to be admitted in public.
Anyway, iconify works now, even on wbstartup. (Olli)
2.96.52
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .52
- GUI: it's now possible to remove fastlinks by dragging them outside
any V window and dropping them there. A requester will pop up
asking whether the fastlink should really be removed (Olli)
- General: downloads aren't stopped anymore when all the windows are
closed (Zapek)
- GUI: no more transfer progress bar into the main window when a file goes
into the download window (Zapek)
- General: URL comment wasn't saved in all downloaded files (Zapek)
2.96.53
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .53
- Bookmark: CManager is properly initialized even when there's a
PROGDIR:Bookmarks.html (Zapek)

- Prefs: moved "Autoclose download window" here (Zapek)
- Prefs: added an "Auto cleanup list" option to the download window (Zapek)
- GUI: clicking on an image map will now draw a frame around the
select area (Olli)

WebVision with excessivly large URLs (Olli)
- GUI: reworked menus a bit (Zapek)
- Prefs: added "Disable META refresh" menu (Zapek)
- GUI: Location: and Fastlinks: labels are now properly aligned (Olli)
- GUI: Transferanim is now loaded from PROGDIR: (Olli)
- General: Image decoder libs and SSL lib are now also loaded from
PROGDIR:Plugins/ (Olli)
- GUI: added "Tidy cache" menu which will cut off the cache's size as set in
the preferences (Zapek)
- Net: HTTP/1.1 parked connections are now only reused if the host NAME
matches, too, to avoid the IIS bug of not taking note of different "Host:"
headers on the same connection (Olli)

2.96.55
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .55

is loaded on-demand, in preparation of doing more fancy stuff there
without causing main application bloat (Olli)
- General: beta timeout bump (Olli)
- Prefs: reworked proxy configuration settings in preparation
for proxy JS autoconfig (Olli)
- Prefs: current group is remembered when you close the window (Zapek)
- Net: completely rewrote proxy handling to accomodate new prefs
model. Should also be a bit faster now, especially if no proxies
are configured (Olli)
- General: Fixed some unchecked memory allocations (KingGuppy)
- Prefs: fixed refresh problem when clicking on "OK" in the source
editor window (Zapek)
2.96.56
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .56
- GUI: added support of NewMouse wheel codes to html class (Olli)
- General: removed some random data gathering code from the
html class input handler, which was no longer needed
and took time (Olli)
- Parser: added mapping for some windows characters in the range
of 128 to 159 (Olli)
- Prefs: oops, Disable META Refresh wasn't saved with the config (Zapek)
- About: fixed logos, and now shows image decoder version again (Olli)
- GUI: fixed problem with end of image loading not being properly
signalled to the main window status when images were scrolled off-screen
(Olli)
- General: Fixed finished or failed entries in the download window
preventing the URL they pertain to being reloaded until the entries were
removed (KingGuppy)
- General: added "about:ibeta" (Beej)
- Form: fixed checkboxes with no VALUE being submitted with "?¿" instead
of "on" (Olli)
2.96.57
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .57
- Build time: makecharmap.c was hosed, and didn't output any actual
mapping. Fixed now, 128-159 mapping ought to work (Olli)
- GUI: MUI MMB scrolling now also works in frames (Olli)
- GUI: V windows are now appwindows and accept dropped workbench
icons (Olli)
- Net: file:/// can now list directories (Olli)

-------

(www.wirenet.co.uk) (Olli)
- JS: fixed context stack to be a stack, and not a queue (ahem) (Olli)

with no required result (Olli)
2.96.73
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .73
- Plugin: added vplug_domethoda() callback (Olli)

before. Seems to have been the cause of the PFS2 crashes,
which in that case would be totally innocent :) (Olli)
- Layouter: </select> without preceding <select> when a previous
proper <select> clause was on a page caused Nuke(tm)
(ht://dig 3.1.2 search result page) (Olli)
- Net/Cache: now honours Expires: headers and will assume
cached objects with a proper Expiry date to be fresh

- Plugin: fixed vplug_domethoda() (Olli)
2.96.75

abusing the lvalue definition (www.ssh.org) (Olli)

though (grrr^2). Fixes "www.wirenet.co.uk" (Olli)
- JS: added document.document backlink (grrr^3) (Olli)
2.96.77
-------
- CVS: bumped compile to .77
- init: the application class would call an image decoder library

Joker's crash with an old CManager.library. (Troels)
- GUI: added basic keyboard support for the toolbar functions
(as an eventhandler of the main window for some reason :)
I used the same mapping as that other unnamed browser, see
below. (Troels)
/* back */ case 'b'
/* forward */ case 'f'
/* home */ case 'h'
/* reload */ case 'r'
/* print */ case 'p'
/* load images */ case 'l'

trash on the expression stack (Olli)
- JS: bizarre bug: when trying to set a event handler
for an object which doesn't understood it, some screwed
type conversation caused a function index to be
interpreted as an object pointer, causing Big Time
Nuke. Happened with <IMG OnMouseOver> being
interpreted as a custom property (Olli)

was processed (Troels)

- Layouter: <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON> no longer works as "SUBMIT" (Olli)
- Net: Form element NAMEs are now also properly urlencoded
when being submitted (Olli)

expiration date until the cookie table was saved/loaded;
this conflicted nicely with the way how php3 forces
the deletion of cookies (by Set-Cookie: name=deleted;
with an Expires: set 1 year in the past). Reason why
login into bugs.vapor.com with V was impossible, ahem.
(Olli)
- GUI: "Flush Images" now yields a result requester
(was fully functional otherwise) (Olli)

- JS: fixed problems with custom properties for document and window
class (Olli)
- JS: "var++" and "var--" could, under certain circumstances,

iterations (numerous sites) (Olli)
- JS: it's now possible to assign "undefined" values to variables
(Olli)
- JS: Array class ToString method would crash when one of the
elements was undefined or "null" (Olli)
- JS: A nice one: Some of the classes didn't implement the
ToString method, thus causing a nuke when references to them
were stored in an array and this array was converted to a string
(due to a implicit type conversion, most likely). (Olli)

- Parser: added hack to come around sites which violate the
SGML specs by exceeding the maximum clause size with excessive
long JS code in event handlers (www.tu-harburg.de) (Olli)

(the increment part expression result wasn't popped) (Olli)

------
- CVS: bumped compile to .11

"LZW free" GD image generation). Changed revision to 7.3 (Olli)

everytime an entry is modified (Zapek)

fonts to be opened only once, but successivly closed on every
MUIM_Cleanup of a html view object. Besides screwing the graphics.lib font
management, it could also cause the side effect of having fonts in
use which had an opencount of 0 and thus could go away on a ramlib
flush, causing V (and other apps) to render with a font no
longer in memory. All kinds of potential side effects up to
crash. Probably also the cause of the "large page bug". (Olli)
