WindowManager 3.98. Sets URI handler environment variables for
http, ftp and gopher.

Fixed 'doesn't reformat for unsized images' bug - only happens when the
deferred reformatter is enabled, hadn't remembered to check this in my
debug build where this is turned off. Oops.

Caret position in forms could get left behind despite attempts to rectify
this in v1.31 - now fixed (and faster, fortunately).

Hourglass + percentage displayed for History and Image History when
loading - it can take a while for very big histories, though in
practice you only see the visit history loading (has to do a lot
more work, and is thus quite a bit slower than the image history).

POST forms worked when targetted to frames, but were broken when
not targetted! (Forms data inherited from one browser to the same
browser; ended up freeing the flex block...). Fixed.

Now support 303 response code (redirect to GET). Treated as 301, i.e.
not support if STRICT_PARSER is defined, otherwise drops through to
the 302 handling code.

Pointer shouldn't get stuck in odd shapes when going to a new page now;
it gets reset to a standard shape every time the null handler that
checks the position is called, though (whether or not the handler thinks
the pointer is over a different token, if that token is NULL, it sets
the standard shape). A possible work around would be for a browser to
remember the pointer shape too; that's for the future, though.

Early stage table formatting functions could blow themselves apart if
tables_count_table decided there were no rows, columns or both. A
net table size of zero cells is now dealt with; slow, partial table
fetches in multiple windows with image loading turned on will now
*hopefully* be stable, where v1.31 would have bombed out repeatedly.

A nested frameset within one document will now inherit the border
width (frame spacing) and border colour of its parent. This is done
by copying the maxlen and indent fields of the parent token over
the child, and note it's done in the browser (fetch_preprocess_token),
not HTMLLib.

Border colour on a FRAMESET now used, with the first colour on any
FRAME within it overriding, as in NN 4 and MSIE 4.

<LI> bullets really do stick to the text next to them now (I'd done
that in an experimental piece of code and forgotten to merge it back
before the last check-in).

Browse$HotlistURL/URIFile and Browse$HomeURL/URIFile now work from
_TaskName in the Messages file, and are thus of the generic form
<App>$HotlistURL etc. - Docs.Notes and Docs.User updated appropriately.

Event 0x11d00 through to 0x11d7f will make the browser look up Controls
file entries 'JumpTo00' through to 'JumpTo7f' and read a URL from them.
This will be fetched in the ancestor window of the source of the event,
or a new window if such an ancestor can't be found [for Daytona demo].

NB: Nasty frames-related crash at http://www.teledanmark.dk/menu/start.htm
is *not* fixed in this source. NOBR is not supported.

Fixed some glitches in the modified status bar code (e.g. status inference wasn't working properly).

Shift+Toggle size always opened to not obscure the icon bar. If CMOS is
set to always show the icon bar, then Shift+Toggle size is meant to
reverse sense and open to absolute full size. It now does this.

!Run[D] files now require URL 0.22, HTTP 0.64, FTP 0.22, Gopher 0.08
and File 0.32.

Minor overhaul of 'Docs.Notes' (with 'Docs.User' similarly updated) to
include a few new bits and pieces.

Timeout values of 0 now mean 'forever'. Plug-in status messages now have
their own timeout setting. New Messages token 'Actv' for extra info when
a status message times out and the status line drops to 'Viewing' or
'Ready' when there is still a Busy state registered by the Plug-in.

Small Fetch windows don't become visible briefly for Plug-in fetches
when the fetch is complete (for SeeFetches:no, where these windows
should be hidden all the time).

WebServe may be controlled through the Browse front-end via.
Wimp_MAppControl reason code 4 (Wimp_MAppControl_Configure). Note the
renaming internally of 'WebServ' or 'WebServe' has been changed to
'Proxy' (with lower case equivalents where relevant); proxy name
and starting details come from the Messages file 'ProxyName' and
'ProxyComm' tokens. More in 'Docs.Notes'.

Res files updated for image history and PRE/TT font aspect ratio
choices. 'Don't expire' labels changed to 'Expire' (oops, didn't
notice the change in the development Browse's Res file when I
updated all of the others until now...).

When printing, Wimp_PlotIcon appears to ignore R4 and R5, plots
'somewhere' on the page, and tries to get the sprite from the global
pool. This latter part normally causes an error to be raised; though
on my machine I just get a corrupted error message. The Desktop font
gets lost at this point too. All have yet to be fixed; as an
interim work around, Wimp_PlotIcon objects are never drawn at all
if the global 'printing' flag is set.

This is an intermediate check-in to allow work on Choices for the new table options and History choices as detailed below. Res files are not up to date except where indicated and there are several known bugs that will be fixed before the 'final' v1.27 is created. Any work on resources should only be done for the testbed !Browse.

Client side image maps implemented. There is code to draw highlighted
borders in CSIM.c, but this is not wired in yet; other than that,
the implementation is functionally complete. As part of this, centralised
the fetching of a targetted URL taking into account user request of a
new view and full screen mode, in fetchpage_fetch_targetted. The forms
library now uses this too, so form buttons respond to both adjust-clicks
and TARGET attributes.

Fixed APPLET handling where '.class' isn't present in the CODE attribute.

Paragraphs squashed at the top of cells/pages - browser would insert white
space before.

Now append a ' ' to the end of History menu items to prevent the Wimp
thinking the end of entries represents a keyboard shortcut (e.g. 'Home').

Netscape's handling of 'meta http-equiv="refresh"' is to start counting
when the fetch has completed and everything else has died down. The browser
will now not start counting until the animation handler is deregistered
(so formatting is complete) to show similar behaviour (note that this
checks the main handler, not the 'idle but returning to first frame'
drift handler).

URLs from requests for fetches by Plug-Ins are now relativised.

Page width change tolerance prior to reformat upped from 16 to 32 OS
units. Hoping to provoke a loosely connected bug with this change!

TableOuter, TableInner and SeeFetches choices added to all Choices
files, with appropriate loading and saving code in Main.c and Save.c.
AuthorFTP and AuthorFSh messages added for FTP authentication, and
dialogue handling code (the component in FetchHTML.c) updated to
recognise an FTP fetch and alter the dialogue presentation
appropriately.

All Messages file version numbers taken up to 1.27 (20 Nov 1997).

Following a UseNet suggestion, Ctrl+Toggle Size will increase the window
size to fill the screen vertically only; horizontal size/positioning is
not changed.

Shift+Tab in the URL writable will cycle through alternative fetcher
protocols (from both the Controls file and checking the fetcher modules
are actually present).

Hotlist doesn't require '://' in URLs when loading HTML, just ':/' - so
'file:/' URLs now will be reloaded correctly.

History system rewritten completely. GHistSize and VHistSize options
removed, and replaced by MaxSize and ExpiryAge. Now have global history
menus with most recently visited items at the top, and local history
menus which reflect the path that forward/back buttons would take.
Browsers are robust to background expiry of the History though this is
not implemented - date expiry and size checks are carried out on
history_record only. This does mean that with two windows open one could
have the history expired underneath it whilst another fetched, though;
the code handles this and update toolbars (greying items) as necessary.
It is possible to have the history limits so tight that even one entry
will not fit and again the code copes with this, though values read
from Choices are limit checked to ensure rather more useful results!

Implemented 'Save' button in save dialogues. Remembers pathnames and just
replaces the leaf now (hard coded exceptions for <Wimp$Scrap>... and
<Wimp$ScrapDir>...) - it did before, but only if you'd typed the path
in. Not many people did, given that you couldn't press Return or click on
a Save button to use that path...

In a similar vein, files of type Data or DOS will be checked for a '/xxx'
type extension and the MimeMap module will be used to find a more meaningful
filetype. If this can be handled, the file is loaded. This only works for
files dragged to the browser - the behaviour with inline data in web pages
will depend on the File module, and similarly, if File doesn't spot what is
going on and claims that the object is data, the browser will just open a
save dialogue for it.

!RunD files taken up to 3072K WimpSlot.

Hotlist's saved HTML page title wasn't internationalised - is now. This
opened up a significant can of worms; on file write error, the file would
never be closed, and if a caller of the save or load functions passed
in a filename held in the global Messages lookup buffer then subsequent
lookups in the callees would corrupt that filename. All sorted out now.

Local (not very useful) or global (useful) histories can be saved as HTML,
which opens up the possibility of sending your history to the hotlist
by saving to it. Local and global histories can also be emptied, though
this is probably not a feature that current release Desktop browsers need.
Inheritance of local history and certain UI features is now done more or
less for all cases where one browser window spawns another, too.

Vertical alignment on images is rather less ropey than it was (e.g.
ALIGN=TOP stands half a chance of working) but is still far from perfect.
This was part of fixing a nasty little bug in Redraw.c's setting of
an image position via. image_set_token_image_position, which was making
(amongst possibly many other things) client side image maps fail.
Image update where images had large borders was affected by a similar
problem too (more cans with more worms...).

Fixed image background filler functions; two problems. When cross
referenced images were replaced by base images in a browser because the
original owner was closing down, the original owner browser would stay
registered with ImageLib. Fixed; secondly, when images were deleted from
the image array causing those above to be renumbered, images registered
with ImageLib did not have their numbers updated (this was the one that
lead to the visible drop out of background images with PNGs on the Acorn
Internet home page when there were two views of the page and the first
was closed). This is now also sorted out.

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).
