1999-07-14 (2.8.3dev.4)
* minor fixes to build with SunOS K&R compiler -TD
* cleanup unbalanced curly braces from other recent experimental options -TD
* rename internal definition for LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED to
  LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED to keep it shorter than 32 characters -TD
* change ifndef's for NO_JUSTIFY to ifdef EXP_JUSTIFY_ELTS since something in
  VH's recent code causes core dumps, by crosslinking the state of two parts of
  the parser -TD
* modify slang code to recognize F1 from terminfo/termcap on Unix (John Davis)
* changes to use the WATT-32 tcp library, making a DOS port that does http,
  ftp, news, mailto, and telnet -DK
  Remaining work includes:
  * This has been tested only with slang and the djgpp_keyhandler code.  There
    will probably need to be more changes to have this work properly with
    PDCurses.
  * There is at least one bug.  When set to use http_proxy, there seems to be a
    long wait between socket connect and write if the proxy is accessed too
    rapidly in succession.  It seems that if it is accessed more frequently
    than about 20 seconds, there is a timeout of up to about 85 seconds.
  * some problems with ctrl-break handling, will report to the watt-32 list.
* rename tcp.h to www_tcp.h -DK
* fix typo in manpage description of -color (Christian Hudon
  <address@hidden>).
* add $(LDFLAGS) to chrtrans/makefile.in, for NetBSD -JS
* use symbolic link rather than hard link for installing copyright files -TD
* now dashes and underscores can be intermixed in commandline options, and in
  -restriction option, ifdef'd with OPTNAME_ALLOW_DASHES -VH
* added commandline switch '-dont_wrap_pre' that will inhibit line wrapping in
  <pre> when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing.  (But maximal length of line on output
  can't exceed MAX_LINE (1023 by default)) -VH
* lynx.man updated to reflect new option -dont_wrap_pre and to note that gnu
  style of options (with two dashes) is also supported -VH
* some small developer's docs tweaks -VH
* added text justification (controlled by commandline switch '-justify' and
  from lynx.cfg too), ifdef'd with NO_JUSTIFY -VH
* added support for emitting backspaces (a-la man) - commandline option is
  '-with-backspaces', ifdef'd with NO_DUMP_WITH_BACKSPACES -VH
* added support for forcing-empty-HREFless-As - ie A element that doesn't
  contain HREF will be closed after it was seen (without waiting for </a>) -
  this fixes rendering of documentation, produced by broken translators that
  don't emit balanced 'A's (eg RedHat docs produced by 'dlh', Sybase docs) -
  commandline option is --force-empty-hrefless-a, and force_empty_hrefless_a in
  lynx.cfg, ifdef'd with NO_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A -VH
* incorporate changes for win32 by Hiroyuki Senshu <address@hidden>
  from
    ftp://crab.it.osha.sut.ac.jp/pub/Win32/develope/senshu/Lynx/
  based on his patch against 2.8.2pre.6
  Most changes are ifdef'd
    #define _WIN_CC=    .... for Windows C Compiler
    #define CJK_EX      .... CJK EXtention
    #define SH_EX       .... Senshu Hiroyuki EXtention
    #define WIN_EX      .... Windows EXtention
* add missing null-pointer check in MakeNewMapValue(), for verbose-images
  (from Debian bug report #39596) -TD
* test/build with gettext-0.10.35 -TD
* renamed uppercase makefiles and .bat files to lowercase, change the makefiles
  consistently to Unix-style format -TD
