Detail:
  Now exports its SWIs & service calls to Interface/URL.h
Admin:
  Submission for TCP/IP bounty.

Version 0.58. Tagged as 'URL-0_58'

Version 0.57. Tagged as 'URL-0_57'

Detail:
  Use the XWIPE macro rather than WIPE so that when the component
  is cleaned, we don't get loads of irritating errors from AMU if
  the object to be wiped doesn't exist.
Admin:
  No code change.


Version 0.56. Tagged as 'URL-0_56'

Detail:
  CC was not happy with "const register", but likes "register const".
Admin:
  Rolls in a change to c/proxy similar to that made by srevill a while
  ago, just with #include <name> semantics to match other standard
  headers included in that file (proxy.c).

Version 0.55. Tagged as 'URL-0_55'

Detail:
  Obsolete #include of strings.h changed to string.h as this is
  now faulted by the latest cc.
Admin:
  To be tested in STB ROM build

Version 0.54. Tagged as 'URL-0_54'

Version 0.53. Tagged as 'URL-0_53'

Version 0.52. Not tagged

Version 0.52. Tagged as 'URL-0_52'

Detail:
  Added/fixed the install rule for disc builds as required for the Baseline
  builds.
Admin:
  Builds and installs.

Version 0.51. Tagged as 'URL-0_51'

Version 0.50. Tagged as 'URL-0_50'

Detail:
  Exports a header file for C code to use to define SWI numbers for
    the URL module.  Include "Interface/URL.h" to get the header.
  Updated to use DebugLib instead of its own private debugging system.
Admin:
  Requires RiscOS/BuildSys 2.51 or later.
  Requires RiscOS/Library 0.53 or later

Version 0.49. Tagged as 'URL-0_49'

Added clean rule to test directory makefile

Version 0.48. Tagged as 'URL-0_48'

Makefile names all the dependent PNG images explicitly instead of trying to add a dependency on a directory (which doesn't work).

Version 0.47. Tagged as 'URL-0_47'

Version 0.46. Tagged as 'URL-0_46'

Detail:
  When rebuilding a URL object, the URL module would attempt to free()
    the pointers in the caller's URL block.  Since it didn't actually
    own these, this either caused somebody else's RMA to get freed or
    caused a "free failed" message to be output.  URL now takes a copy
    of the user data into its own buffers in order to rebuild the full
    URL.
  Increased the memory pool for URL_ParseURL 2 to 1024 bytes.
Admin:
  New test program (TestParse2) added to test this reason code.
  New script (RunAllTest) to run all the test programs.

Version 0.45. Tagged as 'URL-0_45'

Detail:
  Also, log tags removed from geturl.c to stop CVS inserting the
    changelogs in that file.
Admim:
  No functional change.

Version 0.44. Tagged as 'URL-0_44'

Detail:
  Broken URLs as generated by the faults database software on NC-NT
    weren't being resolved to the same level of brokenness in other
    software.
  Test case added for checking this resolve "works".
Admin:
  Can at least browse the faults database now.

Version 0.43. Tagged as 'URL-0_43'

  Now takes notice of R0:0 on URL_ParseURL (field count in R5)
Admin:
  Supporting documentation:
    Acorn URL fetcher API specification (1215,220/FS; ECO4131)

Version 0.42. Tagged as 'URL-0_42'

Fixed URL resolver test program.  It was failing to set a flag bit indicating that it supported extra fields in the URL block, so once the bug in URL was fixed (it always trusted R5 to contain the field count and ignored R0:0 in SWI URL_ParseURL), all the tests failed.

  Updated to use LocalRes
  Memory allocation for URL resolver increased to accomodate extra
  requirements for resolver fix.
Detail:
  Relative URLs using a // to replace everything but the scheme specifier
  didn't work.  They now do, plus a test in OddURLs checks that this is
  working.
  Memory pool size calculation altered to account for misaligned segments
  of URL to solve observed pool exhaustions on approximately 50% of
  resolves.  This was not fatal, as the memory allocator fell back to
  getting more chunks of RMA, but this can cause a severe performance
  penalty.
Admin:
  Built from clean; verified RAM build; verified resources exported OK.

Version 0.41. Tagged as 'URL-0_41'

  Extra ResourceFS files added for shared fetcher use.
Detail:
  TinyStubs usage for ROM builds removed due to library static data
    reference problems.
  Added code for direct SWI calling to protocol modules.  This code
    is switched out on the DIRECTSWI macro which is set in Makefile.
  RCS log tags removed from source files.
  New tests added to OddURLs test file.
Admin:
  Built from clean; tested in RAM build.

Version 0.40. Tagged as 'URL-0_40'

Detail:
  Old TechWriter version removed; replaced with plain-text version
  (This text file is the DO master format for this document)
Admin:
  This copy of APISpec is document 1215,220/FS, change number ECO 4082.

New *-command for dumping proxy information - only in debug builds.

Version 0.39. Tagged as 'URL-0_39'

Control characters are now hex-escaped when they are spotted by the URL parser and resolver.  This stops URL users getting confused by spaces in URLs amongst other things.

Two extra tests for this code have been inserted.  This module passes all
50 test cases.

Module now maintains its version number and date via srccommit

Version 0.38. Not tagged

This is a TechWriter document.  This is the most up-to-date document we
have currently, has been reviewed, and is awaiting updates for newer
SWIs when time is available for doing such updates- however, it is much
much better than the ancient readme file that used to be here.

URL 0.37.  The speedup code introduced in version 0.28 worked.  After a minor change in 0.29, it stopped working and was using RMA for all memory requests again and I didn't notice.  This is now fixed again, and the 40* speed-up on URL resolves has returned!  The increase in rendering speed of Browse is very noticable, as is the reduced startup time when a large history is present.

Bug fix for looking up protocol as port number - which still looked it up in most circumstances.  This lookup only occurs on unknown protocols now.

Scheme names are no longer expected to match entries in the Services database, so they are no longer looked up there in an attempt to elide the port numbers when canonicalising URLs.  A table of well-known scheme to port mappings has been added, plus changes have been made to the way protocol modules register to allow them to specify their port numbers.

* A new test case added to the OddURLs file.

A fix to prevent errors during registration of duplicate proxy settings
which is not shown up by Browse, but is shown up by the FTPProxy utility.

New FTPProxy Utility added which provides a command-line way of setting a global FTP proxy for the URL module.  This enables you to set an FTP proxy even though Browse does not currently provide a way of setting one through its GUI.

Const-ness of veneers modified on the basis of the CMHG version number to
avoid build problems.

Build process changed to use standard !Mk... taskobey scripts.
Makefile is now capable of producing RAM and ROM versions of URL.
Resources moved into standard subdirectory of Resources:$.Resources.URL
General code tidies to remove all compilation warnings
