Text items with no VALUE specified in the HTML were not cleared on
hitting a Reset button as the text field of the token is NULL; fixed.
SELECT lists with no default selection item were not being changed
on hitting a Reset button; fixed. In radio groups with no default
selection specified, no item will be selected. This goes against
the HTML 2 spec but allows broken Navigator-esque forms behaviour.
In consequence, radios can be deselected by clicking on the same
one twice. I'd fixed the flickering experienced when doing this
recently, but that, now, is irrelevant, since the state of a radio
must always change.

Reformatter's new 'find width of a SELECT field' didn't account for
the width of <none> and <many> items, and now does (particularly
important for broken items with no OPTION contents).

Under certain circumstances, illegally named targets would open in the
ancestor rather than a new window - a deliberate decision in the code,
but now reversed due to a test suite failure; they'll open in a new
window instead.

Altered the left hand indent handling for lists so that headings and
body text follow the Navigator 48 pixel indent and the bullet point
items drop to the left of the left hand margin, rather than sitting
on the margin with the text indented to the right.

Tightened up the hotlist_load_directory checking of URLs, so that
only those with '://' in - i.e. look fully specified - are accepted.
HTML files are loaded into a new directory now.

Items without a descriptive title in hotlist_new_url will have the URL
substituted in instead. White space before and after descriptions and
after URLs is stripped. Directories with zero length names or null
strings (after white space is stripped) will still be created, with a
generic name (see Messages, token 'HotlistUntitled').

Now working on source merged with Kevin Bracey's internationalisation support. UNIFONT is undefined in the Make File for now. All Res and

Choices files updated appropriately.

Having sorted out the old Choices and Messages to form Choices, Controls
and Messages, this build has had the same cleaning up done internally.
This includes greater consistency in naming schemes and the removal of
the inconsitent choices items - e.g. Choices file entries saying 'delay
images' and 'plain backgrounds' where internally all the flags say 'show
images' and 'show backgrounds'. ChoiceDefs.h and CtrlDefs.h added to
clarify the meaning of some fields, though usage of these is not 100%
in the source (there are cases where parameters are passed through to
functions as ints, and those functions still check these against hard
coded values rather than the #define stuff).

Fetcher status return bits (connected, sent request, etc.) now reflected
in status bar. Progress during fetchs to files are reported by %, where
the size of th...

Encoding support added: if UNIFONT is defined then the browser will attempt to use the system font to render Unicode characters (new

International module required). If not defined, the browser will just
handle Acorn Latin-1 characters, but HTMLLib will convert other encodings
into Latin-1. Must keep the UNIFONT define in sync with HTMLLib (if
defined HTMLLib outputs UTF-8, otherwise Acorn Latin-1).

Still needed:

Reverse encoding (converting form input etc back into the server's
character set).
Reparse when encoding changes.
Setting of charset from an attribute on the <A> tag.

Customer work complete, and this version just shipped. Had to comment out the code in Main.c that sets the user agent string to fake Netscape, as the persistent problems with forms in tables showed up much more on a modem link - net result was that the customer's log in page at didn't work. Not faking Netscape gives an authorisation dialogue instead, allowing access to the site even if not by the most elegant of methods.

Forgot to add the JavaScript, Customer and Meta source files at last check in...! Put in a few utilities in a new Utils directory also, which includes a TaskObey script that will take a backup of the Makefile, strip out the dependencies list, and (assuming the CVS call doesn't crash), restore the Makefile with dependencies intact from the backup.
