      Support for ANT URL broadcast message added. · 5a494095

      Image deletion routines rewritten; nasty animated GIF bug now gone
      (it kept trying to update the cross-referenced image in the browser that
      no longer existed, and I've no idea how animated GIFs ever managed to *not*
      blow up if a cross referencing browser was shut down; and I've tested
      this...). There are now as many image structures as there are total images
      in the visible browsers, and no more; cross referenced images in the
      to-be-deleted browser have their ownership moved to the cross
      referencer before the cross referencee is wiped, with any required fetches
      being transferred with them.
      
      Reformatter sped up a bit by getting rid of strlen on the main text field
      of tokens in all places bar one, where it is called extremely rarely. This
      means direct app-to-app transfer of, say, a 359K text file to the browser
      won't run like a drain as it tries to do strlen on a 359K string over and
      over again! Most of the time the performance benefits won't really be
      noticable, but on the above text file, formatting time went down from
      290 seconds before the change to just under 7 seconds, a 41 fold speed
      increase or thereabouts (SA110 228MHz).
      
      MakeFile changed to force function name compilation on for debug builds
      (-fn in the DD...FLAGS); useful for certain functions such as
      register_null_handler, which can now output the name of the function
      being registered.
      
      ...Which helped show up some nasties in the animation handler and animation
      drift handler registration/deregistration process, which have been fixed
      (callers of fetchpage_release_nulls were unaware that the drift handler
      could be installed, and fragments of old code checking choices.anim_drift
      had a value other than 1 or 0 were still hanging around - bit tricky for
      a single bit item).
      
      Added support for VALIGN in table cells. Spotted a bug or two in the
      'what token is the pointer over' routines as a result, and fixed them - the
      worst was in browser_line_at_y, which checked the y coordinate was below
      the given one [the mouse], but didn't check the line height to see if the
      given y coordinate was *within* the line, rather than just above it. Never
      used to matter pre-tables, but a definite concern once multiple line
      arrays can exist on one page.

      Created Protocols source file and moved a lot of message handling from... · f3e8124f

      Created Protocols source file and moved a lot of message handling from handle_messages - the latter now serves as a high level distributor to lower level functions in Protocols. Incidentally, URL files (as used by the ANT suite) can be loaded by dragging to the browser in the same way as URI files - Not A Lot Of People Know That, etc.
      
      Merged new hotlist display type Res file to existing resources, added
      support for DataSave message so items can be dragged from the hotlist
      to a specific window (RAM transfer for URI and URL files; ScrapFile for
      HTML and Text but deleted afterwards and there are appropriate guards
      to stop Reload just saying 'not found'; images run through ScrapFile and
      there is no choice but to leave them there and do a conventional fetch).
      
      All !RunD files now give a WimpSlot of 2304K. Some small changes to
      the Argo and Ursula build Res files to make the menu trees more sensible.
      Controls files now take 'file:/' instead of 'file://' in Protocols
      section. Definitions at top of URLutils.c *not* altered, as then you
      end up with invalid URLs - so it will accept 'file:/', but always generate
      'file://'. This is because some browsers exports 'file:/'. Sigh.
      
      make_no_[..._]memory_error functions now return a _kernel_oserror * rather
      than void. It's always &erb returned, but it enables users to use a more
      elegant 'return make_no_memory_error(1);', say, rather than something
      like 'make_no_memory_error(1); return &erb;'. I obviously should've written
      it like that at the outset, but never mind. All callers have been
      appropriately updated.
      
      The urlutils_leafname_from_url function now replaces illegal characters
      (A7000 Welcome Guide p54...) in the leaf with legal alternatives.
      
      Internal URL scheme is now a bit cleaner, with everything properly defined
      in URLutils.h. All references to http:, file: and ftp:, with or without
      a following '//' use the definitions in here now.
      
      More tidying and some reorganising of Hotlist source. Auto-open delay is
      now a Choices item. Some dependencies on statics removed (e.g. the
      counting functions don't accumulate into the global item_number now).
      The redraw functions used Wimp_TextOp - oops, so this has been amended
      to use whatever is supported on your Wimp. This is now in a new function
      (utils_text_width()), which the History menu routines also use (there was
      a bug in the width routine there anyway, which is therefore fixed in
      passing). Several other routines used Wimp_TextOp directly too, and
      they have been altered to use the new function as well.
      
      In hotlist code, one of the larger changes is in the API to hotlist_draw_r()
      (formerly _hotlist_draw()) which now takes item widths and heights as
      parameters - discovering these is quite slow, so doing it every time the
      function calls itself recursively is a little less efficient than
      passing the values in from elsewhere. Note that underscore prefixed
      functions are being slowly renamed to _r suffixed functions, to match
      the convention established by Tony Cheal with is table routines. This
      makes it much more obvious when something is recursive, as the same
      naming convention is used in every browser source file.
      
      Finally, note that I intend to ditch SaveDBox and use an alternate window
      with manual control of the messaging in Protocols.c. This will allow
      various improvements which at present the SaveDBox operational methods
      preclude. I'm going to have to do at least an alternate Window object for
      the SaveDBox module to use soon in any case. Getting rid of SaveDBox will
      help reduce, if only slightly, demands on the RMA.

      Updated Makefile to work better in folding text editors. More or less rewrote · c46c55b2
      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      Limits.h, and ensured consistent comment styling throughout all sources.
      Fetch.c/h split to Fetch, FetchHTML and URLveneer. URLstat.c/h produced to
      cope with this. OpenURL and Find sources created from bits in the Windows
      source file that shouldn't have been there... These will get filled out
      shortly. Note that a few functions in Fetch are due to be renamed and moved;
      probably to Tokenutils.
