fetch_get_raw_data will notice if up->fetching is zero and return a 'finished' status rather than trying to continue reading data for the fetch. Fetches should never fall through that far but at least it will cope if they do.

3D table borders are now supported. 2D borders are used if the
inter-cell spacing is too small to fit the borders in (display resolution
dependent) - the external table border is 2D if the internal borders are,
else 3D. For cellspacing of 0, internal table borders must plot over the
outer edge of pixels inside the cell; for all greater spacings, the
borders take up all or part of the gap between them. The external border
will always fit around the outside of the cells, including the
cellspacing value in the gap between the outer cells and the border.

Anti-alias colour for placeholder ALT text was incorrect. Fixed.

I'd changed 'point' to 'points' in some of the Font Choices dialogues;
now changed back to 'point'.

The routine to find out how large an otherwise unsized object or imag...

Main.c, so the last log was incorrect; Navigate menu items wouldn't have
been greyed out. Probably a(nother?) CVS update screw up on my part; now
fixed. This sort of thing is happening far too often...

Font manager would crash in system font or if a font face was not found
in the previous release - that hacky business of returning weird font
handles when system font is to be used instead ensured a rather less than
valid array reference on behalf of fm_claim_basic_typefaces.

Added in a few more calls to the 'check the button bar' routines, to
ensure that things like Stop are greyed/ungreyed when needed.

Cellpadding code could lead to rmarg overlapping lmarg, or the sum
being greater than dwidth, or something like that (!) in the reformatter.
Anyway the results were unpleasant; this has been sorted out by range
checking right and left margins w.r.t. display width in the relevant
section of the code.

People who specify 'td width = 2000' in tables expecting to get something
sensible now do, though I was half inclined to leave it alone... I can
only assume that they don't know about % specification or it didn't
work in their browser at authorship time, and the huge width served as
an attempt to get the table to fill the available window width. Anyway,
the table reformatter spots when the maximum width a cell requires is
less than half of what it asks for, and ignores the width specifier if
this is the case.

Now handles PARAM tags. Sorted out Plug-In bug that was related to Java setting a 0 by 0 graphics window before calling Wimp_Poll (fixed in Java).

Implemented queue for Plug-Ins so multiple broadcasts aren't sent for
several Objects in one data chunk.

Added Docs directory with some documentation in it. More things to keep
checking for stylistic consistency, horray ;-)

Corrected !Run[D] for Ursula build to need AcornURI but not TaskModule
(URI handler needed for !Mail to pick up mailto: links).

Added display_height field to browser_data, analogous to display_width,
to cope with % sized objects by width and height (see how HRs are
handled in Redraw.c for an example of how it was always fairly easy
with width, but not height until this addition). Though you do have
to reload to get a new size; reformat isn't enough. Must see to this
some time...

Fixed bug where basic typefaces were claimed *before* the Choices file
had been read. For unusual Choices settings, this could create some
'interesting' problems now and again. This was part of narrower scope
work in the Choices code to allow font changing without leaking font
handles (now done; fm_shutdown only ditches fonts, it keeps internal
structures - must then call  fm_lose_fonts for all browsers to get the
bitfields up to date, then rewrite the typeface definitions and reclaim
basic fonts). Noticed that fm_claim_basic_typefaces would claim multiple
instances of the same font if there were several cases of the same font
mapped to different typeface styles - fixed.

Implemented PlugInControl settings, but not SupportObject (fully).

So I added it again.

More reformatter code bugs fixed; this one regarding width of items. Any kerned string was overestimated (causing redraw bugs and caret position problems in forms, apart from other minor bits elsewhere) and the default size of a writable icon wasn't especially clever.

Crude Plug-In support; just about manages Java, but can't fetch on
behalf of Plug-In (for example). Had to change the default file access
URL construction to be 'file:/' instead of 'file://', or local file
fetches that reference Java applets won't work. This is in its very
early stages, and is being checked in mostly so that various Choices
issues can be worked on.

!Run[D] files updated for new fetchers and GopherFetcher; protocols list in Controls updated for Gopher. Debug builds now require 2760K rather than 2560K. Font$... variables set if not already, in anticipation of font

Choices work.

Additional bits in Choices section of Res file tidied and some name
changes (e.g. Netscape -> Navigator(TM)). Frames support option added
to Choices.

Grouped 'support_frames' under the Fetch Controls section and added
support_object in Global.h; appropriate entries placed in the Choices
files, and are read at startup. At present, though, only the frames
support flag is implemented.

For some reason, Menu was the button to use on history popups if you
wanted to show URLs instead of descriptions (or vice versa, depending
on Choices settings). Now, Select and Menu will show the Choices
defined setting, and Adjust will show the opposite.

History menus are built backwards, so local histories have the most
recently visited pages at the top. Global history has still no real
order t...

Big steps forward in vertical white space handling as a result of improvements in HTMLLib in this area ( -> all versions now 1.22 beta-2).

As a result, the 'last_space' field in browser_data struct has been
removed. Note that this relies quite heavily on setting of the PCDATA
bit in the 'style' field of an HStream and the automatic collapsing
of (for example) multiple P tags inside HTMLLib.

Trace.c improved to recognise various bits in the 'style' field of an
HStream structure.

Phoenix defaults altered to a more 'standard' set of choices; Trinity
as the serif font, with a slightly larger default font size. This is
because there's a good chance it might get released to a wider audience
than Acorn internal (though the animation and icon bar sprites will
have to change before then...).

MiscDefs updated for new SWI numbers in HTTP module; !Run[D] files thus
updated to require HTTP 0.42 or later. At this point, all earlier
modules are not backwards compatible in terms of direct calls to the
HTTP module, though this only affects cookies_process_cookie at present.
At the same time, checks for System$Path, InetDBase$Path, and setting
of Inet$MimeMappings if not already defined have been added to the Run
files along with RMEnsures of Resolver and MimeMap.

Object and PlugIn c/h pairs created to handle OBJECT, EMBED and APPLET,
and the RISC OS Plug-In interface respectively. Not part of the build
process yet. Addition of 'odata' field in browser_data struct and
definition of chunk CK_OBJB for memory_set_chunk_size() are in support
of this.

Added various TaskObey files to make different browser variants (the Makefile has been updated to support this). At present, TARGET must be set for the

Make file to work (some oddity in AMU causing problems here). Added
Multiuser.h to cope with a non-SINGLE_USER build for Customer.
