GitLab

Detail:
  Changed messages file to _Version tag, and used awk script to insert it at build time.

Detail:
  This check-in includes Phoenix version 2.11 (26-Apr-2005); only the
  debug and JavaScript builds of Phoenix have been tested and resources
  will definitely be out of date for other versions. The various "!..."
  scripts have been updated to require a minimum of 2MB with no maximum
  limit for building, as CC 5.60 is quite RAM hungry.
Admin:
  Phoenix 2.11 JS builds OK, works reasonably well. Many outstanding
  issues of course, as this is a very outdated browser now.

Version 2.09. Tagged as 'Browse-2_09'

Detail:
  This is in the middle of some load balancer changes, but I'm checking it
  in as there's a sweeping source code change to use DebugLib. See Global.c
  for full details. Temporary debug code for the load balancer stuff is
  currently held under undocumented area "test".
Admin:
  This build now identifies itself as 2.08 i2-4 and says Pace on the about:
  page. Run for some time with no unexpected problems. Tried a mixture of
  debug levels successfully.

Version 2.08. Not tagged

64-wide comments adopted throughout. All headers protected against multiple inclusion. Use of <> for external headers rather than "". For libraries, <libname/header.h> is used rather than relying on a complex include path, where appropriate. Move towards using external URILib rather than the local copy. Phoenix JavaScript build resources are the only up to date set currently so don't try others; more work still required on Makefile (e.g.

getting the ROM build working, and internationalisation issues).

Version 2.08. Not tagged

Misecllaneous tweaks and fixes. Major addition is full header and footer support in the printing system - see the Phoenix Choices file for more information.

Only the Phoenix resources are up to date currently.

Long overdue check-in of intermediate browser build, from continued "out of hours" work. Forgot to add a few files last time too.

List dialogue box handler complete, and exclusion lists implemented
within the main browser code. Full documentation in Choices file.
Save routine knows all about it but is now getting very slow - must
come up with a better scheme; for now, it puts the hourglass on...

StripExtensions option controls auto stripping of filename extensions.

More sensible ancestor / frame selection for keyboard shortcut items
and the save dialogues - having selected a frame won't lock you into
it for F3 and related shortcuts now (input focus in URL writable ->
get ancestor details, input focus in frame -> get frame details). F4
works in frames. F5 now generally present for 'view source' with a
corresponding menu entry in the File menu.

Odd thing in later Res files; there's no action set for Adjust clicks
on the main ToolAction items in the button bar. Very odd. Nothing
appears to be set in v2.07 either, yet adjust-click works. Even
stranger. Anyway, added in the relevant event details (same as for
Select click in all cases) and this fixes the problem.

Background colours in the TABLE tag ignored the "don't print any
backgrounds" Print Style setting. Fixed. Meanwhile, the "black
text with no backgrounds" option wasn't getting this right either;
fixed this also.

Event logging implemented; HTTP errors and script output via.
window.print extension. No internal error output yet.

Faith:Never behaviour extended. If ever a server sends something with
no content type or an unhandleable type, the browser will try and get a
filetype from the URL. If it gets text or HTML, it'll render the file.
Else it'll save it. Hacks around IIS 4's lack of a content type field
in the Marketeye login stuff, and similar other slightly broken sites.

Intermediate check-in; building a browser from this gives you something between 2.07 and 2.08. Only the Phoenix JavaScript resources are fully up to date.

I *think* these are the changes since the last check-in:

When saved as a Draw file, horizontal rules were plotted one page width
too far to the right (wonder when that started happening?!). Fixed. In
addition, DrawFiles now accepted as OBJECTs - they weren't in the
recognised filetype list before. Doh.

Table size calculator tables_count_table would overestimate the number
of cells where ROWSPAN was present and there were other rows below the
one spanned. Fixed. In certain odd cases (e.g. optimised image exports
as HTML tables (!!) from the Gimp) this can save vast amounts of RAM.

Fixed problem where printing stops in the middle of a document. Redraw
engine pagination code was written in the days where lines couldn't
have gaps between them; they can now. If a gap fell at the bottom of
a page the engine would look down, see no line straddling or touching
the page edge, and assume there was nothing more. This case is now
correctly handled.

Made sure desktop and testbed Browse Res files had up-to-date Encoding
menus (v2.07 Phoenix has different menus from v2.07 Browse by oversight).

URL auto-completion piggy-backed onto manual completion code; any string
without '.', '/' or ':' in it gets run through completion to see if a
more meaningful item can be produced - "www" special cased out though.

New List dialogue box handler, used for proxy exclusions etc.
(incomplete), complete with appropriate Res file objects.

Tweaks to export rules in Makefile - ResJ source for JavaScript builds, all of User dir exported, resources rule exports About as well as User.

Handles images with a width or height of 0 specified in the HTML.
Previously went for a default size placeholder and changes to image
sizes and/or redraw problems could occur before/after subsequent
reformatting (involved trivial changes to image_get_image_size and
image_redraw_area only).

Default parameter HRs now plot properly in rectangular pixel modes.

Choices code updated to cope with the minimum font size, JS support,
watchdog on/off and timeout, Navigator object option added generally
(act even *more* like Navigator), image GC after fetch, and image
GC unused image / free RAM constraints.

Code in JSnavigator.c updated to obey new "act more like Navigator"
option (see above). Currently declares itself as version 3.0.

Resources for all builds are up to date. All links in default hotlist
verified and corrected where necessary, with several new links added.

This is Release v2.07. Not tested very much, sorry; YMMV.

Another intermediate check-in, resources may not be up to date; items most likely to be buildable are PhoenixJ and BrowseD. Done because I'm about to make some rather dodgy changes to code otherwise unchanged since the Customer browser and I may well have to back them out...

In Handlers.c now set the HFlags_HasBeenVisited bit of a token at the point
it is first clicked on. Means the link returns to a "visited" colour after
the highlight flash immediately. This will persist for as long as the browser
window is kept open on that page, though if the URL doesn't end up making it
into the history for whatever reason it would "unhighlight" on reload; fair
enough, really. The highlight is window-local, so there are no redraw worries
for other open windows with links to the same URL (though other same-URL
links on the same page aren't updated either).

All forms submissions force a reload (principally for eudoramail.com, but
many other sites have similar requirements).

!MkClean and !MkClnAll didn't correctly call the utility to strip Makefile
dependencies. Fixed.

On fetch closedown, fetchpage_preprocess_token could be called on a token
which had already been run through the preprocessor. Now checks the flags
word before proceeding.

Image RAM cache and garbage collection system implemented - see new Choices
file entries CollectAfter, FreeRAMLimit and UnusedImageLimit to get an
overview. This contains groundwork for JavaScript image array support.

More JavaScript support improvements. Any one window object will know its
parent, top, this, etc.; frames array working except for a frameset created
via. multiple documents; opener for something created with window.open is
currently not set and don't know why (property is being created, pointer to
valid object is held, but JS engine returns 'null'. Ho hum) - JSChain won't
work yet, then.

Everyone else seems to be checking lots of stuff in lately, so I've decided to join in. This is an intermediate check-in and so not all resources etc. will be up to date. You should be able to make Phoenix and a debug build out of it. As a reminder, to make a JavaScript build:

 * Build JSLib and NSPRLib. Recommend you leave -DUSEMEMLIB in there (as
   used by default) so you can watch it leak into a dynamic area... :-)
   If you do this, you'll need to build MemLib too, of course. If you
   do NOT use MemLib, *undefine JS_USING_MEMLIB in Main.c*!
 * Run !MkClean. This now strips dynamic dependencies from the MakeFile
   automatically, to save you having to do it yourself.
 * Run one of the TaskObey files with the "J" suffix, e.g. !DeskBrwsJ -
   this uses the same .o directory for object files and exports to the
   same position in the Targets directory as the non-JavaScript build,
   but it does produce a unique binary in 'abs' and symbols table in
   'syms'.
 * Sourcing an appropriate !Run (with increased WimpSlot value), !Boot
   and About resource is done automatically.
 * Some, but not all of the !xxxD (debug) TaskObey files will make
   JavaScript versions in passing - check the JSUFFIX value on the Make
   command line parameters in the file.

This'll only work on RISC OS 3.1 due to the use of MemLib.

Here's the change list:

Included MNG icons in sprites files; added Sprites23 for some builds.
Added in ANT URL file icon (b28) derived from URI file icon, because
the Save dialogue can need it.

No, you do *not* need to define the same keyboard shortcuts in each
frame since the ancestor keeps the input focus and we've basically
dropped non-nested Wimp support. Maintaining no less than 4 lists of
identical shortcuts was a pain. Some Res files now only have the
lists in the main browser window and button bar objects (these two
are both required still).

Ursula build Markers button arrangement changed from 1x3 horizontal to
2x2 tilted, as in Phoenix, by popular demand.

Couple of hotlist bugs fixed; dragging an item and deleteing it with
Ctrl+X didn't terminate the drag, and deleteting an item underneath a
menu opened for it didn't close the menu.

'SendReferer' option added to all Choices files, all set to 'always'.
Put just beneath 'Clone' as it refers to header items, though really,
both Clone and SendReferer should probably be in the "Fetch controls"
section rather than "Multiuser environments and proxying"! Front-end
control of this is available.

In image_export_original, save_save_source, save_transfer_source and
save_save_object, flex_set_budge(0) was called to lock the heap but the
return value wasn't stored. flex_set_budge(1) was then used to unlock
the heap. All calls now remember and restore the old value, which is
both safer in case one calls another and allows the flex_set_budge
call in Main.c to have an application-wide meaning, as intended.

Some restructuring to the data load and RAM transfer sections of
Protocols.c; remote hotlist builds wouldn't allow files to be loaded
to browser windows before, and can now drop URL, URI or text files to
the Open URL dialogue.

New option "MinimumFontSize", lets the 'size' attribute of the 'font'
element be overridden. Default value is 1, to allow the full range of
values for the attribute. Setting to 7, for example, would give font
size 7 text at all times. Another new option, "ToggleOnXOnly", to
make Toggle Size only extend the window vertically (with Ctrl then
being used to toggle to genuine full size, rather than vice versa).
All Choices files updated to hold both of these options; only the
first has front-end control available (see debug build Res file).

JavaScript Document object exists; frames array etc. working. Can now
just about use "http://www.acorn.com/~ahodgkin/jschain/" but it does
abort after a bit - problems with frames again, I suspect. Is is pretty
slow, too. Can now press Escape to terminate a script.

Main.c erroneously referred to Controls file entry "StopWebServe" as
"StopWebProxy". Fixed.

Keyboard shortcuts to raise SaveFile are now possible in a general sense;
the code before was in the ToBeShown handler and just checked for a parent
component of -1. It then assumed "save frame HTML source". Now there's the
savefile_raise_from_shortcut function, which together with the seven new
event codes in SaveFile.h allows saving of HTML source and frame location,
export of links, images, backgrounds and the page as text or draw, to all
be invoked by keyboard shortcuts. Some Res files have some of these defined.

In reformat_check_height, the first check to see if setpara should be set
references a field in tpLast without checking if it is NULL. Whilst the
'line > 0' check should mean that tpLast wasn't NULL anyway, a direct
call to the function from outside of the reformatter might have tripped
up on this - the check for tpLast != NULL is now made.

Adjust-click on close icon in window showing file: URL attempts to open
the parent Filer window.

Reformatter used to try and find a selectable token if keyboard control
was enabled in a really stupid place - could make reformatting become
very slow if no selectables were present, especially if the page had a
few tables on it. Preprocessor now does this (since it goes through all
of the tokens anyway), the reformatter just doing a last check to ensure
no frames have obscured the selectable and if so, it tries to move it.
Done in the reformatter as generating a line array implies the data really
is visible.

Ctrl+Tab URL completion now builds a full list of matches from the hotlist
and history and can cycle through them (Ctrl+Shift+Tab stepping backwards).

Will give a real error rather than just "Data Abort" if it goes wrong
now. Someone somewhere is setting bit 30 of the error which confused
the replacement signal handler. Flag bits are now masked off (as they
should've been to start with).

Added capability to send Referer headers, together with new options to allow this to be sent: a) Always, b) Never, c) when the URL referred to is an http URL.  Default is c.  There is no frontend editing capability for this option.  This addition means that various counters and sites that rely on referer to indicate a resource upon which an operation is to be carried out will now work (eg. rating a web site on Geocities).

CVS crashing. Some of the Resources may well be out of date due to CVS
locks being in place after earlier server-end core dumps, which I can't
remove myself.

I'll try and check one file in at the end with the full change log so
people know what's happened (it's reached about 16K...) - I'll make
that the TaskObey file '!All' in the top level directory. So for the
full log, look for the changes on this file.

MIDI themes is unreachable, Hensa has been restructured.

For table cells where the line or chunk data totals less than Flex_256_Point
bytes (see top of Memory.c, current value is 8192) there would be an over-
allocation of 1 byte per cell due to a (now fixed) bug in the granular
allocator. This would translate into 4 bytes wastage of course, and may
represent a small speed penalty depending on how flex works out block
word alignment.

Several entries in the Choices file were missing from save_save_choices in
its new form (see last check-in). Added back in. Ursula and Phoenix Res
files contained an incorrect component ID in pane 3 that was stopping the
'no scroll bars' option in pane 7 working correctly (duplicate component
ID). Res files corrected; TRACE builds will now spot such errors and give
a warning when they occur (in choices_find_component).

Table widthing code fixes:

 * Very wide table cell specifiers (e.g. TD WIDTH="2000") were ignored,
   but this isn't what Navigator / MSIE 4 do. This code was present
   because of other bugs in the widther, long since fixed. The code has
   been commented out - if the problem reappears the use of the code can
   be re-investigated, but as far as I can tell it isn't needed.

 * If two pixel specified cells appear one above the other, the first
   would always have been taken for use in the final width calculation
   even if it specified a smaller width than the second. The check was
   made to ensure that pixel specifiers were chosen in preference to
   other cells, which is OK, but it didn't notice if the current cell
   was also a pixel specifier! Fixed; you now get the widest.

 * The TRACE build 'Colspan cell xxx would have been width yyy, below
   minimum width of zzz' error should no longer happen. In a manner similar
   to the bug mentioned above, two cells above each other spanning the
   same columns with the lower cell narrower than the upper would end up
   with the narrower width. The code that trapped and corrected the error
   was not compiled out of release builds, even though the error message
   generation was, because the rendering would fail otherwise. The widther
   has now been fixed not to make this mistake and the final check is now
   strictly TRACE build only, thereby speeding up table widthing for
   non-TRACE builds.

 * Another use of MSIE4StyleTables option, for cellspacing; it's based
   on the actual used cells, rather than the maximum cell width caused
   by COLSPAN etc. So if you've a cell with a big COLSPAN but as a
   heading but the rest of the table only uses, say, 4 columns, you won't
   get a gap to the right which adds up to the spacing for all of the
   cells that the COLSPAN attribute in the heading implied. The option
   was actually intended as 'bad things when switched on', and though in
   this case it makes for a better rendering, it does hide an error in
   the HTML. Note Navigator 4 acts as Browse with MSIE4StyleTables off
   in this particular case. Oh, it works in both ways of course, so
   the table height routine had to be updated too. A new function,
   tables_find_actual_size, exists to support the feature in general.

Messages files updated to v2.05 (21-Apr-98). Help menu items renamed a
bit in Ursula, Phoenix and Customer Res files, but entries still point
to the same URLs. Phoenix button bar markers have been brought closer
together to stop them being visible when only the URL bar is meant to
be present.

RefoKeep and RefoHold options added to, respectively, try and maintain
the line at the top of the visible area when reformatting, and not shrink
the vertical extent at the start of a reformat to try and avoid flicker
to the top of the page and back down again when RefoKeep is on. Choices
front-end implemented, which also allows RefoWait and RefoTime to be set.
Unfortunately for various reasons this doesn't help the page jumping when
unsized images come in (but RefoHold can improve matters...) - roll on
the image history.

DragToScroll and NoScrollBars options added for frames; included new
pointer type, Mouse_Shape_DTS, so relevant Controls file entries done
and Sprites[22] files updated as required. Noticed some builds have
a low-res ptr_link with a mask - mask removed.

Named anchor following fixed up somewhat - anchors near the bottom of
the page shouldn't be displayed, and then pulled down when the fetcher
releases null polls and ensures the y extent is correct (this through
implementing the min_height field in the browser_data structure).

RefoHang was never implemented and there seems little point to it now,
so the entry for it has been removed from the global choices structure
and all Choices files.

Markers menus should work properly now (in last check-in they would not
update correctly if Adjust was used on the entries).

URI handler usage now a lot more sensible, with configuration of how the
browser uses the module from both a Utils menu submenu (sic) and the
Choices dialogue.

Slightly dodgy 'hang around waiting for user input' stuff for the Cookies
dialogue box: All fetches are suspended; the fetcher remembers some info
about its state at the time the cookie came in, and restores it later; it
will only do this for one fetch at a time. It's necessary to single-thread
the fetcher at this point anyway, since other fetches may have a
dependency on the cookie that is hanging in mid-air at that point. As part
of this, some of the fetcher code has been split out into separate
functions (to try and 'black box' the code a bit). Anyway, Cookie Query
dialogue box now implemented with appropriate Choices file entry and
UI work in the Choices dialogue box.

Phoenix build Choices rearranged. Can now choose when the image history
is saved from the front end. Added also MSIE 4-style table option menu
for JPEG support (OS only, OS if it can handle it, internal only).

Should be a bit faster at loading the history - though 95% of the time
is spent in SWI URL_ParseURL. URL descriptions are stored more
efficiently as part of this - one malloc block instead of several
small blocks. The minimum block size for malloc blocks typically leads
to a significantly smaller startup wimpslot depending on the visit
history size.

Nasty bug in image system fixed. If an image size came in and a reformat
was to take place, the line the image lies in is found and the reformat
progresses from there. Unforunately, this didn't check to see if the
token can't be found in the line list, so it'd reformat from the top
of the page...! This would happen if, for example, an image halfway down
the page came in whilst a reformat for an image higher up had just begun.

In Choices.c, made choices_set_timetype_field, choices_set_uri_field,
choices_set_plugin_field, choices_set_cookie_field, and
choices_set_jpeg_field static (so they're not declared in Choices.h now).

Two memory leaks plugged in URL comparison routines in URLutils.c
(calling free() url_description instead of urlutils_free_descripton()).

Client pull reload handler was setting the reload flag if reloading
the same page, but forgetting to turn on reload_lock so
fetchpage_postprocessed was clearing the reload state... Similarly,
Ctrl+Shift+SELECT-Click on a link when the Controls file 'UseSmall'
entry is 'no' would not have reloaded as it should. Both fixed.

Frames shouldn't be so keen on acquiring horizontal scroll bars and never
letting them go when their width is decreased now. Frames set up for
'scrolling="yes"' will not start with no scroll bars and then gain them
shortly afterwards, causing flicker and two reformats - they'll start
with, and continue to hold, both scroll bars.

Pointer shouldn't flicker when over a frame border whilst other fetches
are progressing now.

Some compile-time hacks in place to use MemLib, a dynamic area based
malloc replacement which shrinks its heap when possible. All builds
have these switched off at the moment. Seemed to work with just Browse,
though there would be problems with message blocks stored in dynamic
areas because of the Wimp's '&3800000' check - however, it failed when
HTMLLib was made to use it, too. Don't know why yet.

ItemInfo.[c/h] source added, with Res file additions for testbed Browse
and Phoenix.

Small fetch windows now work properly regardless of toolbar settings
in the Choices.

Reload now reloads all images too, rather than only reloading them for
as long as the main page was being fetched.

Added a simple 'Find' facility.

Realised that event handlers in eventlib are called in reverse order
of registration, so the miscellaneous event handler is now registered
first rather than last.

Multiuser code added (most only active if SINGLE_USER is undefined). As
part of this, hotlist code now knows about read-only items (done for the
Customer-style 'Resources' file, but works generally anyway).
handle_add_hotlist doesn't try to save the hotlist itself anymore (the
hotlist_add function does all that through hotlist_modified anyway).

Customer build Choices and Controls updated slightly (e.g. ClaimHelp
off, hotlist to save on quit only).

Customer build now uses Phoenix-style buttons. Sprites files which
worked at the time (but will probably be out of date now) and included
most of the original Customer-style sprites are in
'Utils.Icons.Customer'.

Choices, Messages and Res files for all builds now stripped down to only
single user items or single plus multiuser for Customer build and testbed
build. Before, all contained a few multiuser bits in at least the Choices
file if not more.

Grammatical error ("Fetching frames contents" (sic.)) corrected in
default message, Toolbars.c, and all of the Messages files.

Customer build brought back to a servicable level (including
implementation of the Find dialogue box with animation and fixing
up authorisation and 'Stop' state in the tristate). Quite a few
missing #ifndef REMOTE_HOTLIST bits from hotlist code added...

Customer build will not use <Choices$Write> or Boot:Choices for any
file finding now. UseProxy defaults to 'yes', MaxImages to 2. Res
file includes Proxy Address setting (save_save_choices() now writes
the ProxyAddress line).

Check for WindowManager 3.97 and ensure Unicode$Path is set in all !Run[D] files, don't set the Alias$@PrintType_FF4 variable, and updated

Customer build ROM obey file variants. Various other changes to
the Run files for new module versions, updated paths to support
new positions of choices, hotlist and histories (see later), etc.

!Sprites[22] files hold small !app icons for some variants, and
an ic_browse sprite. Some variants now have a Sprites and Sprites22
file instead of just Sprites, with the former containing various
mode 12 or 15 specific sprites.

Text files dragged to the URL writable are treated as ANT URL files. This
relies on URLBarWrit (Toolbars.h) being a unique ID, which it should be,
but beware of the Hotlist and Choices numberspaces...

INPUT TYPE=BUTTON supported. Form items without a FORM tag are now shown
(as MSIE 4, but not NN 4).

'*', '-', '@', '_' and '.' are not escaped when submitting forms now. The
Web interface to the IMDb now works.

INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN items will not affect the line height anymore - so
http://www.hotmail.com/ now has correctly aligned writable icons, for
example. Similarly, TAG_FORM and TAG_FORM_END items could push up
line height and don't anymore.

HRs with a specified pixel width will now influence the size of a table
cell (they didn't before).

BRs now checked by tagno field when the browser needs to know something
was an actual BR tag rather than just a line break signal, and by the
style bit entry when only the indication of a line break is required.

Table widths of 0 or 0% are ignored.

Trace.c updated to report height and background fields in a table_stream.

fm_putsl() writes a terminator into the string; the Forms.c routines were
calling this for displaying INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD fields using the FE_PassCode
literal string (a line of stars). This write into a read only data area
would make the debugger fault the access. A local char array is now used
instead, to get round this (note the use of var[]=literal rather than
var[sizeof(literal)]; strcpy(var, literal) due to some weird compiler bug
that copies the wrong thing into 'var' under some (undefined...)
circumstances).

Text areas don't scroll back to the top line when clicked in anymore;
single line writables don't scroll back to the left either. When
reentering a text area from 'above', the caret appears at the top line
rather than 'somewhere further down'...

ARROWS_MOVE_OUT compile time option at the top of Forms.c defines whether
you must press Tab/Shift+Tab to move between writable fields in forms or
if up/down will drop out of them, though if keyboard control is on this
is enforced (or you get trapped inside the form!).

urlutils_filetype_from_url now uses MimeMap module.

If fetcher is told a page is text, it'll check for a filename extension and
may choose to use this instead (e.g. it may find it's HTML instead). This
is to try and get around duff servers... (e.g. http://www.batalarms.co.uk/).

Save dialogues shouldn't flicker when options that don't change the
filetype are selected (before, the draggable sprite was always reset for
each selection). Noticed the erroneous setting of a static variable in
SaveFile.c by a call to this by SaveObject.c, and so added a flag to
savefile_set_filetype to deal with this - would have been possible to get
the wrong filetype sent to applications or at best the wrong filetype
sprite in the dialogue without that.

The caret shouldn't jump out of a form back to the URL writable if the page
reformats now.

Table background colours now supported (as in the colour you see in the
border space if the cellspacing is large enough; this is as in MSIE, not
as in Navigator). Drawfile output routines updated accordingly.

Corrected erroneous use of wimpt_dx() / wimpt_dy() in a couple of places
in Images.c, which meant that (say) 1x1 images didn't work correctly in
medium resolution display modes.

Now have support for save as text (component ID and event 0x12) and save
as Draw (component ID and event 0x13) buttons. Dubious conditions for
greying and ungreying the print, save source and view source buttons and
menu options sorted out as part of implementing the same for the two new
buttons; added greying out of their associated menu items in passing.

Turned kerning on in draw file objects (does mean a rather heinous
increase in file size, but this is the only way to ensure the draw file
matches the visible page).

Comments before functions in SaveDraw.c are now complete and up to date.

Image and visit histories now generate a crude hash number to speed up
searching for items. It does give a speed increase, though it's a
disappointingly small one.

Issue of left/right margins and cellpaddings sorted out. Now have
redraw_left/right_margin for finding out the basic gap you must leave.
redraw_left/right_gap then gives any extra indentation for LI, BLOCKQUOTE
or whatever. The last two can be subtracted from the display width to
get an available page width for any section of text. Note that
redraw_left_gap replaces redraw_margin. The redraw_start_x function
uses the above to work out where a line's left hand edge should be,
taking account of left/right/centre alignment. HRs have been fixed now
(they were quite broken in v1.30, I think) based on this new model and
the behaviour of MSIE/NN 4.

Fixed width of cells with no contents - cell padding values wouldn't
have worked properly as the reformatter returns 0 rather than the left
hand margin size if given no stream.

Removed FM_Absolute flags for Font_Paint (spotted by DBrown) - sets bit
2, which is reserved...?

IMG width and height in % terms now works correctly; a % of available
width (after margins and indents) or height on the main page or for
a table cell, if the image lies in one. Because of the chicken-and-egg
problem with the latter, the cell must specify a width and/or height
for things to work properly. If this is not done, you'll usually end
up with a 1:1 scaled image (as in Navigator 4, rather than ending up
with no image or even no cell (!), as in MSIE 4).

HEIGHT attribute on a TABLE tag is supported, but only in a crude
fashion; the extra height (if there is any) is distributed over the
rows in a linear fashion. This is probably all you have to do in
practice, but I haven't checked. To maintain a notion of min/max
height as well as width would of course require a great deal more
work...

If using client pull to reload a page with a fragment ('...#name')
specified, then the reload wouldn't work on the same page; it'd just
jump to the fragment position. This won't happen if b->reloading is
set now (so works in conjunction with client pull on the same page
forcing a non-cached fetch). Similarly, if POSTing to such a URL,
a fetch will proceed (both these fixes done originally for
http://jupiter.beseen.com/chat/rooms/g/1678/).

browser_inherit split to browser_inherit and browser_inherit_post_data;
the code for the latter didn't clear any post_data in the child before
copying from the parent either, and could cause flex errors (now fixed).

Res file for Ursula ('Desktop' Browse) build tweaked - bits in the
font choices dialogue renamed, and button bar rearranged to hold the
new Save As Draw button. Other builds have had Save As Draw and
Save As Text buttons added, or not, depending upon availability of
suitable sprites, required UI simplicity, etc.

Now have:

  Browse$ChoicesFile
  Browse$ControlsFile
  Browse$ChoicesSave
  Browse$ControlsSave

(the last two are new) for loading and saving of the Choices or Controls
files. If unset, <App$Dir>.Choices or <App$Dir>.Controls will be set.
E.g., you could set Browse$ChoicesFile to be:

  <App$Dir>.Choices,Choices:WWW.(app).Choices

for loading and

  <Choices$Write>.WWW.(app).Choices

for saving. (The browser never saves Controls at the moment, so the
relevant variable above isn't effectively implemented, but could be
in future). Similarly, to support asymetric loading/saving of the Hotlist,
there are HotlistSave, HistorySave and ImageHistorySave entries in Choices
to complement HotlistPath, HistoryPath and ImageHistoryPath (which are used
for loading). save_save_choices will create directories as needed to obtain
the given path (and has also been fixed in various areas that hadn't been
tested out until now; e.g. zero termination of the AppName$ChoicesFile
variable expansion...). !Run[D] files updated appropriately.

Table widthing code rewritten. Slower, but a lot better on the whole.
Still has some problems - still needs a final 'make sure nothing is
below minimum width' scan, which it should be possible to do without.
No time to fix this at present!

The reformatter will now 'glue together' an LI token followed by any
non-LI token; so a bullet point followed by an item should not be able to
have a line break inserted after the bullet because of very tight width
constraints (it could before - yuk...).

'about:' brings up a page about the browser and any Plug-Ins, as with
Navigator (for example).

URI files support titles, as per spec. version 8. Saving a current
location to the Hotlist will thus give a sensible title now (unless
you're in a frame, so there's no title to get...). Of course, v1.00
files without a title still work.

Note that NOBR is *not* supported in this build and this combined with
the new table widther may cause problems on some sites (e.g. Microsoft's
home page!).

Not all resources are up to date in this check-in, and documentation both within source and stuff in 'Docs' is out of date or missing - I was very pushed for time on this one... Hopefully will do another 'tidy up' check-in before close on Friday; until then, beware of anything other than the Ursula (Desktop browser) build. Anyway...

Export As Draw done. As part of this, FONT SIZE and SUP / SUB adjustment
of font size is done in fm_token_font_info rather than fm_find_token_font.

Bullets and switches are plotted as indirected sprite items, rather than
indirected text + sprite items - this relied on being in a redraw loop to
pick the sprites up from the local pool (failed during printing).

URI files now have a LF line ending rather than CR... '*' recognised
as an empty field when loading via. RAM transfer now (only worked for
loading from disc before).

Gave placeholder bounding boxes 4 OS units more minimum extra gap
vertically and reduced horizontal addition to this value * 1.5, rather
than * 2 (see reformat_get_placeholder_size).

Background image tiling starts at ymax - h + 4, rather than ymax, so
there isn't the bottom line of pixels from the top tile always present
at the top of the window. The '+4' is for caution's sake.

Can now save a frame's HTML source, that of its parent or its ancestor,
and the same for the URI pointing to those documents - see Menus.h for
the relevant component IDs that should lead to the SaveFile dialogue.

Have hopefully fixed timeout = 0 values (i.e. 'forever') on things
like LinkTo; before, image fetches could override the state (so you'd
only ever see brief flickers of a given URL as the pointer went over
a link).

Save File dialogue will remember the state of option or radio buttons
for a given parent component origin and restore that state when the
dialogue is next opened from the same place (stops turning on saving
as a URL file also turning on 'save background images' for Draw file
export, etc.).

Use of a META tag to reload the *same* page now sets the 'reloading'
flag in the browser so that it doesn't go through a proxy - otherwise
pages which are meant to update periodically through client pull
don't work, as they keep coming out of the cache.

Can now handle images specifying just a width or height in the HTML
(other dimension is scaled accordingly, but note that the placeholder
size must still be 'dumb' until the image data comes in). An image
will now override an image history size entry for the same entry
with a different size.

There are a few known significant problems with this code but it's being checked in so the Choices can be worked on. Note that Res files etc. are not up to date across all builds. Progress is as follows...

Bug report prompted me to do this - now ignore <p> tags straight after
<li> tags, so '<ul><li><p>Some text' works as the author (or automatic
generator, more commonly) intended.

A <p> tag before a table will be acted upon now (it was ignored before).
Something like <li><p><table...> will give a line break and paragraph
space after the <li> despite the changes mentioned above, as in other browsers.
Both browsers differ from Navigator, where the table appears alongside
the <li> tag.

Multiple BR tags work as in MSIE / Navigator (they don't collapse to
zero height anymore).

For the above, line height (and so, <br><br> or <p> spacing) is now
calculated inside reformat_text_line_height, and is used with either
a token to get the text height at a given size (e.g. for general line
spacing or multiple BR tags) or NULL for normal size text (e.g. for
P spacing, though this value is in practice later scaled by 7/8ths in
reformat_check_height). Note this behaviour is exhibited by MSIE 4;
v3 gave two BRs the same spacing as one P (i.e. not font size
dependent).

Save dialogues can have an option button or couple of radios to
switch between various formats (e.g. URI or URL, sprite or original
format). See 'Docs.Notes' for more. The back-end to this is now
implemented (i.e. at the moment, save as URI or URL, save as original
image format). Note that when saving background images, a leafname
based on the original fetch URL is now offered rather than a generic
'Background'.

Internal URL scheme changed to be all lower case, so relativisation
through URL_Fetcher still makes sense... :-/

Holding down 'shift' when clicking on stop reverses the interpretation
of the Controls file 'StopWebServe' entry.

Fixed row / column count for exporting tables as text; fixed a few
bits and pieces of internal URL scheme stuff which got broken when
HTMLLib started using URL_Fetcher's relativisation.

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.

Message_PlugIn_Busy. Plug-in code more robust when given invalid
browser instance handles by the plug-in.

Line spacing is now calculated on the basis of the normal style base serif
font, with all other fonts being forced into that line height. This does
mean that an unusually tall (say) sans serif font may get clipped. It
appears to be the only way to get around wildly different baseline
depths returned from the font metrics - you can't work out line spacing
based on each different font style; the line spacing will vary.

Table heighting (as opposed to widthing...) improved considerably; rowspan
can no longer cause very tall cells in odd places. Having trouble getting
rid of the single pixel breaks between vertically adjacent cells, though
I've not tried too hard. Widthing, though, seems fairly badly broken at
present... :-/

Set/clear of page_is_text flag made more robust (it looked as though there
was the potential for this to get stuck in a set state, though I've never
see the front-end behave in a manner which indicates this is the case).
The reformatter will now decrease leading if this flag is set (plain text
pages look daft with a line spacing that is OK for 'rich' text pages).
No reformatting is done if the page width changes by dragging on the
resize icon, though toggle size / full screen will still reformat even
if the contents are only text (browser needs to sort out various width
flags at this point).

Cut down on excessive redrawing when reformatting due to a change in
window dimensions is not done. If display_width hasn't changed, then no
redraw is needed. If this causes redraw problems, then whatever is
changing display_width needs investigating. It shouldn't be kludged
(basically) by forcing a redraw instead of a reformat.

TT/PRE/etc. text can now have a non-100% aspect ratio. 80-90% looks
best (ArcWeb, for example, uses 86%). New option 'TTAspect' in
the Choices files.

Debug builds link to a non-debug Unicode library now; stops stderr
being dumped to the bottom left of the screen if you've not redirected
it in the Run file.

RISC OS 3.1 seems to need more initial WimpSlot than later OS versions.
The 64 deep nested table set gives a 'No stack for trap handler' error
(which it really means in this case!) without 800K, even though 3.71
is happy with just 640K. So, the !Run file checks if Boot$OSVersion
is exactly 300, 310 or 311, and sets the WimpSlot accordingly.

!Run[D] files now require latest fetcher module versions (URL 0.21,
File 0.31, HTTP 0.58).

Image history - sizes of images are remembered for future reference (if the sizes aren't specified in the HTML, they can be looked for in the image history instead to minimise reformatting requirements). Choices file options ImageHistoryPath, ImageExpiryAge, ImageMaxSize and

SaveImageHistory added to support this (all have a direct analogy to
the global History items of the same name after removing 'Image').

Text area items are now the correct height for the number of rows
specified in the HTML, don't scroll a line too early, and have the
caret placed at the start of the text when moved into from above
or at the end when moved into from below (rather than always at
the end, which was behaviour inherited from single line writables,
where this is desirable). The top of the text area is aligned to
the top of any line of text on the same line, with the text area
dropping below the text, rather than the bottom of the area matching
the text baseline and extending upwards.

Filename extensions for download files are only stripped if an
attempt to convert to a RISC OS filetype through the Mime Mapper module
does not return an error or Data (0xffd) filetype. '.cgi' is a special
case which is always stripped.

Altered heading styles - all are bold, none are italic, H3 is as big
as H2 was, H2 is a little larger, and others scale down to H6 being
the size as normal text (but, as I say, bold).

Sorted out tables and forms. We can just look for tagno=TAG_FORM, and
get rid of the wobbly form_flag; also discarded the redundant
reprocess_table flag in fetch_preprocess_token. Two separate forms
in consecutive table cells (for example) which used to fail - they
were submitted as one single form - will now work correctly.

Fixed nasty bug in FontManage.c where font size 7 would intermittently
fail. The stupid font sizes that it could ask the Font Manager for may
be responsible for the occasional Font Manager crashes that have been
noticed. Array for font sizes was declared as [Limits_FontSizes], but
indices 1 to Limits_FontSizes are actually used - so needed a '+ 1'
in the declaration... :-/

Replaced the case insensitive string comparison functions in Utils.c
with more efficient versions by S.Brodie.

MAXLENGTH specifier in INPUT tags is now supported. If unspecified or
specifically zero, the browser overrides and allows any length.

Adjust-click on forwards/backwards buttons did not work in the intermediate
build, and now does.

Adjust-click on form submission buttons where the submit method is POST
will now work correctly, as the new view inherits the extradata block
of the old. Failure of this is signalled through
make_no_fetch_memory_error, code 16 (see updated Errors file in Docs).
Note the name change of extradata in this context; more details below.

The passing of forms POST data and extra headers for sending in an
HTTP request via. the URL module was all done through pointers into
flex blocks, and was therefore very unsafe. All relevant functions now
use pointers to pointers to the data.

To remove confusion on the umpteen uses of the word 'extradata', the field
in browser_data has been renamed to 'post_data'. The 'extradata' parameters
used within FetchPage.c were all disconnected from the extra header info /
form POST data stuff that extradata is usually associated with, and have
thus also been renamed, in this case to 'appnddata' (Append Data).

As well as X-NoProxy, the browser sends the 'proper' HTTP headers
Pragma:no-cache and Cache-Control:no-cache.

A redirection from a POST request was not handled correctly; despite
what HTTP specs say, you're supposed to use GET for the new URL. The
browser was, but when it chopped off the redundant header data in the
request didn't terminate it and left Content-Type in anyway...! Fixed.

Ctrl+Tab implemented - URL completion. Comes from the hotlist URLs,
hotlist titles, history hosts, paths, full URLs and lastly titles.
See code comments for more (history_find_match, hotlist_find_match).

TableSupport option added to Choices; it is read, can be set by the
front-end, but doesn't actually do anything else yet.

Reversed Choices' semantics on 'don't expire by...' for History. Added
'needs_redraw' flag to choices_get_contents so that, for example, if the
table border types change, browsers get redrawn.

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).

Minimal support for font choices added, fixed problem with colour changing with browsers with no background colour specified.  Options for Objects implemented.

Changed some error handling in Choices, a little bit of reformatting, removed unnecessary tempstring in Main, and played about with the choices Res file objects.

StrongHelp generator on it. Revealed a spurious toolbox_hide_object call
that would always fault and never do anything, and a few heinous uses
of show_error which have all been removed.

When dragging hotlist items, directories will now be highlighted whenever
the item would be added to them, rather than just over the sprite. In
practice this only changes if the item is open and has contents...

Drag box selections had broken in the hotlist; fixed (uninitialised
variable in hotlist_select_box). Adjust-drags now close the window on
completion. Minor problem with Shift+Drag (copy) reversing order of items
sorted out. Added hotlist_add_html_file and implemented loading of HTML.
DO NOT add broken HTML files, this has not been coded for and URLs of the
form http:///this/that (no host name) will hang the machine (bug in the
cookie code of the HTTP module up to at least version 0.39).

Made SELECT list items only as wide as the widest entry actually appears
(using fm_get_string_width), rather than as wide as the widest character
BBox in the font multiplied by the string length of the longest entry.

Updated !Run[D] files to require HTTP 0.39, FTP 0.12 and File 0.23.

New save choices function with supporting code in Save.c; 'Save choices'
option in the Choices menu is now implemented.

Choices and Controls files are now loaded into malloc space (use chf and cof to address them). Previously only in Main.c, task_dir is now globally visible.

Choices updated to allow 16ths of a point in the font size specification
and the System font face has been removed - it isn't used. The use of
serif and sans serif fonts has been rationalised across builds (e.g. Desktop
builds use what they say, but the Customer build uses Homerton as the
default body (serif, so to speak) font as it matches the box's look and
feel better).

Font loading altered a bit to work properly! Font library defines some
standard startup fonts without using Choices, which Choices can then
override.

As warned in the last log, pretty much all event codes and component IDs have now changed along with many of the names, to provide a consistent name and numberspace for events and components. This also minimises number clashes (e.g. as was, the Save File origin when opened from a

Hotlist menu with an already-used component ID). To get full details on
this, please carefully read through TBEvents.h.

Res files, Sprites files and Messages files have been updated again both
due to the above, and routine additions (e.g. message support for a few
Hotlist bits and pieces). !Run[D] files updated for FTP 0.11 and
HTTP 0.36.

In the Makefile, the Customer objects list was missing Save - must have
moved something when I should've copied it, when adding in SaveFile or
SaveObject in all probability. Now fixed. Couple of other bits and bobs
fixed in the build environment (e.g. stuff saying !Argo instead of
!Customer). Oh, and I've altered the MakeFile copy options again to the
best compromise I can come up with. Newer is turned on for everything
except !Run[D] and !RunImage, since both of those change between debug
builds - otherwise if you'd built debug and non-debug versions, it was
not possible to switch between them - one version would have the newer
timestamp and thus never get overwritten.

The default hotlist has had a few items added - that'll be about the end
of it, I think; there's more than enough stuff in there now.

Saving of the hotlist from the document menu and of URI files,
directories and selections from the hotlist menu tree is now implemented
- this new save system rocks... Oh, and you can save all images and
backgrounds as sprites.

Saving of items with Shift+Click to other applications directly now
works, and is robust. Unique Scrap filenames are used, with data load
bounces (e.g. if some pra - er, person quits the app they're sending
to) working correctly - that is, give an error, keep the file, rename
it to something safe, and open the directory it lies in. As opposed
to normal app-to-app bounces, where the scrap file is deleted (see
PRM 3-254). This means you can now look at README files in FTP
sites, say, without using a disc intermediate. Or you can send pictures
straight to ChangeFSI, fetch HTML links into editors, and so-on, and
so-on - it's all very funky. Known problems include the ambiguous
'invalid component ID' instead of 'file open' for *normal* (straight to
disc) shift+click saves, and I think I'll introduce a unique name
guarantee of some sort to stop 'file open' in the first place. Odd
that the really tricky part (app-to-app) should be least likely to
suffer from this!

Only the Browse resources are currently valid.

Added Utils.Icons - has a few archives inside containing the resources
(well, some of them) used to build various UI sprites for various builds.
Archived because these are unlikely to change much, and putting them on
CVS was a move to, well, archive the stuff...

SaveDBox objects vanquished and requirements in !Run[D] files removed. The
data save code fits much more neatly in amongst the data load protocol
stuff now (with the slight exception of having to split the SaveObject
source into SaveObject and SaveFile - the former handles multiple persistent
dialogues for Shift+Click on links and the like, the latter handles 'one at
a time' transient dialogues for save source and similar). Export Link is now
supported, too, and writes a 'proper' version URI file. You'll find that
double-clicking on old URI files will work as the URI handler picks them up,
whilst new version ones don't; however, dragging onto the browser will only
work with new version files. Note that support for saving and loading URL
files (ANT suite stuff) is present too, so old URI files can be typed as URL
files if you want to keep them working without modification - the URI
handler itself will hopefully support the defined URI file format soon;
double-clicking on old URI files will stop working at that point. Note
there are *lots* of changes in every Res file to support all this. This may
all seem a bit pointless to some, but the changes do in fact make it very
easy to add new save dialogues all over the place. Certainly much easier
than with the previous system, anyway. In fact, post script, image
'save as sprite' took about half an hour, which I hope proves the worth
of the new system.

Merged in newer hotlist code with support for drag cancelling with Escape
(all relevant Res files appropriately updated) and cancelling scrolling
when you've reached the window scroll limit. Had to move some of the
Wimp message handling stuff to the central Protocols source, as clashes
were occuring, and also the hotlist routines were using independent saving
code - a lot of duplicated effort. This was fair enough as at the time the
Hotlist code was written, the Save code couldn't be used in the way it is
now.

New Save Source and Print buttons on the toolbar of some builds.

Phoenix Sprites file made more efficient - the Acorn base section has been
split from the animated upper region. Browse build has a new grey fade
sprite at the back, which is less grainy than the previous one and only
uses 16 colours (with a 16 greyscale palette).

Not really a bug, bug the routine to start an image fetch for INPUT
TYPE=IMAGE forms items only did so if the src field (or equivalent, for
this tag type) was non-NULL. In fact, you should always call image_new_image
and let that handle the rest, otherwise other sections of the code will fail
as they try to obtain an image number for a given HStream and get -1 back.
This problem only generally manifested itself when loading an HTML file to
the browser straight from an application, as many src fields become NULL
when the relativisation routines find nothing to relativise to...

Authentication got broken somewhere along the line - this has been fixed
(in HTMLLib and the browser).

Ctrl+Click on a cross referenced image updates *all* copies, not just the
one with the image data attached.

Next big step: Rip up TBEvents.h and rebuild that whole approach somewhat.
To all those working on the code, my apologies but this means all Res files
will receive a very large number of alterations and there will be extensive
code changes too (mostly naming convention stuff), in more or less all
source files. I am endeavouring to ensure that the new numberspace
convention does not clash with the work being done by Kevin on
internationalisation.

File fetches now set DEADDEAD during the fetch, Data if it is aborted, or an appropriate filetype when finished. If the fetcher routines return a zero or data filetype, the browser looks at a set of hard coded filename extensions to try and determine if there's a better filetype to use

(urlutils_filetype_from_url) - since this is a centralised routine it can
use a Mime mapping system (or be removed entirely) as and when one becomes
available.

You can now drag URI / URL files to the Hotlist window to add them to the
list. They are added roughly where dragged to. (NB, note that I renamed
the function to return the window ID - just being picky; it matches other
similar functions now). Oh, and hotlist_add_position actually works now ;-)

The global history will save when titles are added, as well as when a URL
is added. Before, a browser crash could mean a title got dropped out
of the history file even if SaveHistory was set to 'always'.

SaveObject sources have been added but nothing references them or links
them in yet - they're not finished. Mostly checking this one in because
of the hotlist changes.

This version is being checked in because the Hotlist manager in the test build provokes a Wimp bug. All the variant resource files are out of sync and there are several outstanding bugs in the main code, so I'd personally avoid this build like the plague unless you're mad enough to want to examine the Wimp problem ;-)

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.

Open URL implementation more or less complete, though may undergo UI
revision at a later date to allow named frames to be targetted. Hope to use
the ideas in this code as the foundation for other general dialogues.

In token stream dump for TRACE builds, table head items were not indented
as far as they should have been - this is fixed; and manual toolbar redraw
routines have been removed. They never worked, were commented out, and
would never be used in that form anyway.

DragBox source added, but it isn't at all complete and won't work - this is
an 'in spare time' thing. We need custom drag boxes constrained to windows
for the hotlist, and unconstrained for frame border resizing... Hey ho.

Ancestor window extents match visible areas if there are frames (no more
scrolling framesets...!). Frame resizing works whilst new documents fetch
without pulling the extent down now. However, frame horizontal extents
never shrink until a reload which is nasty, and this is all due for a
rewrite. Frames border redrawing routine moved out of Redraw.c and into
Frames.c. Bug regarding the mouse rectangle and frame border widths
(rectangle was too large, so you could squash the edges) for edge-drag
frame resizes fixed.

Window width change reformat tolerance fixed; you could creep the window
width down or up forever without any reformat, and centred objects would
move but not be redrawn (thereby giving rise to subsequent redraw errors).

Filetype on objects saved through Shift+Click correct. Save Source dialogue
recognises if that source is plain text, rather than assuming HTML. A
browser that fetches a file remembers the old store size it had before the
save, so even though the data is now ditched, it reports the same amount of
data fetched afterwards (looked awful when this could, for example,
suddenly say '0' after a file save). Progress indicator is now fully aware
of one or many file saves inside a frameset and reports the number of
saves, a colon, and the cumulative saved data count, instead of reporting
the sum total of fetched data in all frames, including non-file save stuff
(note that for just 1 save, '1:' is not shown as a special case for the
most common condition). A bug related to this, where you could in fact only
do one fetch per frame*set*, has been corrected (only one fetch allowed per
frame still, this is unlikely to ever change).

Hotlist support added (D.Brown's source), with various bits of integration
and modification still in progress there. Note additions to the Messages
files. On the subject of Messages, the whole mucky business about what
goes in Messages or Choices (and a few bugs where lookup_choice was used
instead of lookup_token or vice versa) has been sorted out. Messages
contains, more or less, just that. Choices contains user configurable
stuff which generally can't mess things up too badly. A new file, Controls,
is a Messages file holding the non-user configurable choices, which can
generally make things go badly wrong if misused. A lot of these are tied
to the Res file. StrongED users can get these to automatically fold out
the various sections (EMail me for details). Sorry, but at the time of
writing, Zap doesn't do folding... =8*P

Two bugs with images. Asking for images to be shown in browser B when
browser A uses the same ones and was loaded first didn't work correctly,
and now does (a bit weird - browser A does the fetch and browser B does the
display...). Second one occurred when the background image was also used on
the page as a foreground image. This has been fixed by flagging background
images in the image_info structure, and checking this before cross
referencing. This bit also allowed the image_restart_fetches API to be
extended, so that just background or foreground images may be fetched if
they weren't already and the user asked the browser to show them. Before,
the whole lot had to be fetched together (so turning on 'display
backgrounds' will now kick off an image fetch if required, you don't
need to reload the page anymore).

Makefile copy options tweaked to be 'newer' (so if you're testing with some
temporary Choices file or something, it won't write over it at the end of
every export), and REMOTE_HOTLIST flag added for Customer builds - means
the Hotlist.c functions aren't needed; the old, hotlist-by-file method is
used. Added support for Customer build (see later), though there were very
few additions needed in practice.

Table printing fixed - in many ways it wasn't broken, it was image printing
causing the oddities ever since the global image pool was introduced (this
is, again, fixed). The 'reformat to fit page' option didn't work as coded
any more; tables store cell addresses in the HStreams, so you can't then do
a background reformat in a different browser. Hence, it now has to reformat
to the page width, print, then put the page back again, all in the actual
displayed browser. This doesn't feel as slow in use as it perhaps should,
considering what is going on... Note that a line of a defined fraction (see
Print.h) of page height will now split over page boundaries, so tall images
or tall tables don't cause problems now (aside from the obvious problem of
having the line split over a page at all!). There was a bug in the routine
to print from a given start point until 'n' pages had been filled, in that
it always filled 'n + 1' - now fixed. Finally, as part of the printing
tweaks, a new dialogue exists - PrintStyle - with a similarly named source
file added to deal with it.

Global history auto save / load done, but only to the Choices file path -
the whole browser is still strictly single user at present, with all the
extra work for a multiuser Customer environment yet to be done. This has
shown up a global history corruption problem which I haven't fixed yet.

Rationalising TBEvents.h - things are migrating out of it, and into more
appropriate sources (e.g. definitions relating to the Open URL dialogue are
going into OpenURL.h, etc.). Event codes were at one stage deliberately
diverged in numberspace from the component IDs of typical gadgets raising
the events, to avoid anyone getting confused and thinking the IDs and event
codes must match. However, this is in fact unlikely and it is much easier
to remember the fewer numbers that result from tying the two together where
possible. This has resulted in changes to event codes raised in the
following objects of all Res files: Authorise, Find, OpenURL, and
PrintStyle.

And finally - !Run[D] files for all variants updated to require the latest
toolbox and fetcher modules. All Res files updated for hotlists etc. and
sprites files updated appropriately. All Messages, Choices and Controls
files brought in sync., and an Customer build has been added (based on the
Desktop build binary with different resources).

That's all for now...

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.

Quite a few general source changes throughout many files to sort out swapped toolbars. There will be more work on this shortly. svcprint.c has been modified to allow it to output to a file in PipeFS, so TML-less machines can still use the standard browser debug routines (albeit in a less than elegant fashion). Comments in that source file give more details. Plus a few more bug fixes.
