----RELEASE of Lynx version 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 * Lynx can now speak to old NCSA pre HTTP/1.0 servers * 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

to mean two returns within the same style, and Mosaic has been kind enough to support this meaning, :( :( :( I have changed the

tag to reflect this interpretation.

can be used anywhere and will mean insert two returns. (i.e. two
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
tag inserts a line break and maintains the current style! The
tag may be used anywhere. * added HR (horizontal rule tag!) The


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