Voyager 1.48
============

Welcome to Voyager V1.48.  Note that this release is available to
registered users only; it will NOT run without a key file.  There
will be a freely usable demo version again as soon as all
projected changes and testing are complete. The current
registration fee is a "discount price" for early orders.
It will raise as soon as the full version is finished.

Note also that this is a beta version.  If you hit any bugs, don't
scream and get a heart attack, but instead write a bug report to
<voyager-bugs@vapor.com>.  Please state the Voyager version, your
OS version, machine configuration, whether you use a graphics
board and which graphic support library and, esspecially with
image related bugs, what kind of screen V runs on.  Please include
a enforcer/mungwall/poolwatch log if your system permits running
these useful tools.

Due to the beta nature, Voyager is currently updated frequently.
Check out the V 1.x internal page

 http://www.vapor.com/voyager/v1x.html

for updates regularly.  Updates are also announced on the Voyager
mailing list.  If you are not on it yet, you are encouraged to
subscribe.  Mail to <voyager-request@vapor.com> and put "ADD" in
the body of the mail. Put "HELP" there to obtain a complete
description on how to use the mail server. The mailing list
is also a good place to discuss enhancement suggestions.

Major changes to Voyager since Version 1.0:

· Uses internal image decoding routines. Visually incremental
  on-the-fly image decoding, leaving the program operational
  during decode. No more hassle with datatypes related bugs.
  Optimized memory usage. The routines are optimized for speed
  and are very fast. Full support of CyberGFX HiColor/TrueColor
  screens.

· Supports HTML tables. Many more HTML commands 
  and Netscapism's are understood (including FONT SIZE and
  HR WIDTH). Improved general compatibility with broken
  and nonstandard HTML code.

· Supports T/TCP "TCP for Transactions" requests,
  allowing for much faster establishment of HTTP links
  to servers. This is currently supported by
  Miami 1.9.x beta versions only. Specified
  in RFC 1644. As far as we know, Voyager is the
  first browser on any platform supporting this!

· Totally reworked preference setting. The transfer anim is 
  now configurable, too.

· Supports Shift & Click downloading of files even from
  servers with broken configuration which state
  that binary data is of type "text/plain" (which
  happens frequently with .lha and .lzx files,
  because these suffixes are missing in many
  http server example mime.types files)

· Popup menus for links offering link specific options.

· Parses FRAME tags into links as a preliminary
  solution to the FRAMEs epidemy.

· Added internal SMTP send capability. Also
  supports mailto: forms now. Improved news
  handling.

· Many minor enhancements, and of course
  All The Popular Bugs were fixed, too.

A full list of changes is included below.

Installation Notes
------------------

This beta release comes without a installer script.
You can simply drag and copy the files onto your
HD. You may, but don't need to, install the
provided .mcc classes from the MUI drawer
to the MUI:Libs/MUI/ directory on your system.
A few of the former external classes are
now integrated into Voyager. Required are:

- bookmarks.mcc
- textview.mcc
- listtree.mcc/.mcp

The latter is part of the standard MUI 3.6
distributions, but the provided versions 
are newer than these.

The format of the configuration and cache
files is compatible to V1.0, but due to
configuration changes, many of the new
settings will appear as defaults,
and a few old ones may get lost, because
they are replced with more fine tuned
versions.

  prefilling of images of sizes < 2 pixels
  to nuke really hard.

V1.43beta
---------
- on file:/// URLs, the internal progress

- image decoder no longer relies on server
  submitted mime types, but recognizes
  file formats by itself

V1.42beta

---------
- "Open local file" caused stack trash
  to be used as the Referer:

V1.35beta
---------
- client side image map shape=default is now

  GIF images to frequently not load
  on "slow" links

V1.34beta
---------

  cope with large bogus data chunks
- fixed decoding of greyscale colorspace
  jpeg images to truecolor destinations

  internal memory pool trashing, this giving really
  nice crashes. Also made client side image maps
  not work.
- fixed enable/disable behavior of the STOP, LOAD 
  IMAGES etc. buttons
- <TITLE> didn't properly handle non-space whitespace
  chars
- added full printing capability (requires upcoming
  MUI 3.7)

  to match the empty frame appearance
- added nicer 32 color version of the default
  transfer anim

V1.31alpha
----------

- GIF "mask optimizer" caused
  image class to reference
  mask even when it was freed,
  thus causing enforcer/crash orgy
  and bullshit on the screen

  the image decoder
- jpeg context was hogging
  url streams as well, thus
  making loading of further
  images impossible
- included updated bookmarks.mcc class

V1.30alpha
----------
- removed bullocks debug Printf
  from clickimage class
- now correctly sets window title
- <UL>, <LI> etc. no longer
  do the internal equivalent of
  <BR CLEAR=ALL>
- changed default settings
  to helvetica for normal,
  cgtriumvirate for <Hx>
  and courier for fixed.

V1.29alpha
----------
- fixed internal IPC problem with
  the image decoder causing image
  finish message to not be triggered
  correctly
- upon hitting unspecified images,
  now builds a image client list
  to gather as much width/size
  information as possible before
  new layout
- GIF handler was hogging resources
  (gif decoder context and URL
  streams) longer than needed
- reworked image decoder internal
  flow. Will now favour decode
  of other images in preference
  to decode all frames of a GIF
  anim even if the data for that
  is there.

V1.28alpha
----------

  on relayout
- status line image count was broken while
  the main text was loaded
- layout is now "hold" when hitting an
  image with unknown sizes
- smoothed out incremental display heavily.
  Will now do "silent" relayout or
  clip constant parts of dispay accordingly
  for faster and visually more attractive
  display. 
- now handles "broken" GIF images which
  don't have a terminator at the end.
- GIF anims where some frames
  don't have a local color map were
  displayed hosed

V1.27alpha
----------
- completely rewrote internal document
  management system to take advantage
  of new image loader and stuff. Yes, this
  is actually point (2) :-) Fixes
  several of the recently introduced
  and old annoyances
- fixed status line flicker when mouse pointer
  was over an object (i.e. frame border,
  ruler, list image etc.)
- GIF decoder puked heavily on images wider 
  than 1024 pixels.
- now correctly handles double <BODY> broken
  HTML

V1.26alpha
----------
- fixed enforcer hits from image display class

[1.24/1.25 skipped]

V1.23alpha
----------
- added "Add to bookmarks" and "Copy to clipboard"
  to URL context menus
- added Image and Imagelink context menus
- reenabled MIME config pages (not used yet)
- added "Download dir" item to MIME config page
- now skips <SCRIPT> sections properly,
  not relying on proper comments

V1.22alpha
----------
- fixed layout problems in the prefs window
- the "Fixed Font" selector didn't filter
  proportional fonts
- fixed cycle chain in font select group
- now properly flushes images from memory
  on page flips
- fixed trash display (or crash orgy,
  when running enforcer/mungwall) of
  broken images

V1.21alpha
----------
- fixed about:
- TD VALIGN now works
- fixed incremental decoding being not really
  incremental (caused by a wrongly set flag
  telling the net loader to only report data
  when the whole download was finished)
- net loading of images was totally hosed
  (due to text/html being filled in)

V1.20alpha
----------
- speed up the GIF decoder a bit
- made size calculation of string form elements
  more resistant against bogus tf_XSizes
- fixed crash on exit-on-startup when for
  example no keyfile was available
- added new about: page

V1.19alpha
----------
- now recognizes <INPUT TYPE=STRING> as a synonym
  for <INPUT TYPE=TEXT>
- fixed startup enforcer hits caused by a race
  condition on setting up the image decoder
  process
- now assumes documents are of type text/html
  if no Content-Type: is specified in the HTTP
  transfer phase

V1.18alpha
----------
- fixed GIF transparency problems
  with interleaved target screens.
- fixed GIF decode messup on Truecolor/Hicolor
  screens.
- fixed a longstanding background rendering
  bug which involved a wrong X offset
  into the pattern to be used, thus
  creating false display with nifty
  backgrounds.
- fixed internal total messup caused by
  the image decoder sending messages
  to the virtgroup container which
  in turn broadcasted this to all
  image objects.
- added smart "mask usage" recognition.
  If a GIF specifies transparency,
  but in fact doesn't use the transparent
  color, the mask is freed to spare memory
  and reduce blit times.
- fixed GIF anim background refresh problem
  (without additional memory usage for
   double buffering :-)
- hopefully fixed crash when quitting
  with other means than closing all
  active windows
- now accepts HTTP/1.1 responses from
  broken servers (notably current
  apache ebtas)
- image bitmaps are now prefilled with
  correct background/alttext pens
  for a nicer look
- added <CENTRE> as an alias for <CENTER>
  on popular demand

V1.17alpha
----------
- added internal GIF support (including anims)

V1.16alpha
----------
- added internal image decoding. Caches
  images as memory permits, including auto
  flush with low memory handler. Uses
  cybergfx when available, including proper
  handling of Non-Colormapped destinations
  (HiColor/TrueColor screens). Incremental
  display speed is scaled depending on
  "how fast" image data comes in.
- removed "Broken Image" image. Image boxes
  now stay textual until some image is loaded.
  Broken images are alttext'ed with '×' prefix,
  still loading ones with '·' prefix.
- the logo anim is now loaded from disk
  instead of being hardcoded into the program.
  Filename is "TransferAnim". Plain IFF file
  with frames in horizontal order. Use an icon 
  with tooltype "FRAMEWIDTH=pixels" to specify
  frame width, otherwise totalsize/16 is assumed.
  Recognizes WIDTH for IB compatibility :)
  Recognizes "FRAMETICKS=milliseconds" as
  a frame timer (defaults to 150). First
  frame is considered "idle image" and not
  included in the anim. FRAMES= and HEIGHT= 
  are not required.

V1.15alpha
----------
- no longer wraps images in <PRE> environment

V1.14alpha
----------
- http loader didn't strip #fragments from the URL
  when first accessing a object thus causing
  "object not found" errors.

  broken all the time (handled like <PRE>).

V1.13alpha
----------
- fixed <PRE> handling
- improved rendering of small background images alot

  <TD WIDTH> plus table borders exceeds <TABLE WIDTH>.
  Fixes http://www.cam.org/~ericgir/amiga.html :-)
- now parses broken <MAP> which uses blanks to seperate
  coords.

V1.12alpha
----------
- fixed word wrap loosing one char sometimes.
- reenabled Goto/Location switch in main
  URL gadget with MUI 3.7++
- fixed excess status bar refreshes 
  while the mouse is over a table cell

  an empty box of appropriate size (with the alttext)
  to avoid layout cluttering while images come in

  an image map area with more than 4 coordinates.
  Has been in there since client side image map
  first implementation.

- fixed <TH> bolding
- fixed text after <TR> without <TD>
- fixed problems with floating images and
  missing <TD>s in table cells
- fixed a problem with proper table HTML --
  </TD>s didn't trigger a line alignment run,
  thus causing misalignment if there were
  spaces between </TD> and the next <TD|TR|/TABLE>

V1.6alpha
---------
- Prefs: changed listview spacing
- replaced textfield.mcc with textview.mcc
- fixed totally broken HTTP POST
- fixed broken HTML with <TD> right after <TABLE>
  without <TR> (fixes www.amigaworld.com and several
  other pages)
- fixed crash/hits when the first page loaded
  had client-side image maps
- many form elements weren't properly accounted for
  during table layout stage, thus messing up

  too.
- TH/TD WIDTH now fully works. Does a nice 3 pass run on
  tables to get minimum sizes, suggested width. Does proper

  to deal with people specifying % widths for large image
  cells. Overally cool now.
- fixed table centering
- fixed deadlock on empty table rows
- fixed a really stoneage bug which caused hits when
  the very first page loaded into a window had <A NAME>
  tags.
- fixed a stoneage bug in the TextFit() calculation
