0.6.10: - Fix issue with handling of suspend/resume and character input (thanks to Scott Mcdermott for the patch) - Move variable declarations to the start of a block, to accomodate non-gcc compilers. Thanks to Anonymous for the patches submitted to Alioth. 0.6.9 - New maintainer: Bas Zoetekouw <bas@debian.org> - License is now GPL version 2 only - Updated German, Dutch, English, Polish, Russian, Czech translations and added Basque, Swedish, Viernamese and Brazilian translations. Thanks to Jens Seidel, Rene van Bevern, Piarres Beobide, Krzysztof Krzyzaniak, Yuri Kozlov, Eddy Petrişor, Katarína Machálková, Clytie Siddall and Felipe Augusto van de Wiel. - Nodes containing a "." are now correctly found - Non-ASCII man pages are displayed correctly - Improved the history behavior of the search input line - Broken tag tables are now automatically fixed - Don't segfault when a broken regexp is entered - Fixed a number of segfaults caused by using uninitialized pointers and off-by-1 errors - Fixed heap corruption caused by non-ascii chars in info pages - Fixed a lot of patch searching issues - Fixed text display on narrow terminals - Fixed highlighting of searches - The default pinforc now uses the terminal's default foreground and background colors. Thanks to Rob Funk for a patch. - Use libreadline by default; readline version 4 is now required. - Better cooperation between ncurses and readline - Fixed some memory leaks - Got rid of tempnam() calls - Fixed -Wall and -Wshadow compiler warnings - Use utf8 in documentation files and fixed typoes 0.6.8 Patches from Witold Filipczyk for node detection algorithms in man and info. Added default item on search prompt. Bugfix in info link freeing procedure, which failed on exim pages. Bugfix for dir page lookup when several matches are found--there was a double close() problem. 0.6.7 Added scrolling in left/right direction (!!!new config file keys). Fixed handling of info entries like `emacs21/emacs'--modified function matchfile(). Added autmatical detection of rawfilename for filenames beginning with `../', `./', `/' in main(). Added support for '(gcc)Introduction' like specification of nodes. 0.6.6 bugfixes for userdefined rcfile and configuration inconsistences added sorting of matches for the info file to display 0.6.5 Fixed bug in sorting of tag table links (major effect to the engine) Changed the file search engine to scan the directory for a matching pattern (instead of trying various propositions). Fixed minor sigsegv bug in page loader (link initializer). !Added switching between sections in manualviewer mode Highlighting code does not highlight leading spaces in splitted notes anymore. Added information when the search is not successful Added support for command line selected rc files 0.6.4 New apropos handler. It works now interactively. New option -p here. Doesn't highlight anymore links to itself in man viewer. Fixed bug with link following. Fixed readline emulation: it now deletes old line content, and handles end key Fixed SIGWINCH handler/curses blocking getch emulation Fixed searchpath routines. First of all, there is introduced a 'context' for currently viewed file. Pinfo will search files for one set of infopages only in one directory--in the context directory. The context can be changed only when changing the set of infopages. 0.6.3 NLS and documentation bugfixes Small bugfix in keyhandler 0.6.2 Fixed bug with searchpath for raw filename specification (temporary hack). Fixed stupid bug with info parser, which didn't accept an `INFOTAG.+\n' separator for info nodes (eg. gnuplot's infopage). Fixd detection of first info page. Fixed buggy use of bkgdset() 0.6.1 Modified behaviour of auto-pgdn. It now expands the submenus, as in info. Fixed problem with pinforc installed to non-exsisting etc directory Fixed problem with black bar on first man page Fixed buggy whitespace-skip comparing procedure Manual code can now handle hyphenated url links (it's still not perfect with e-mail--it only works if the `@' is in the upper line) Fixed buf in indirect-file search engine (a misplaced if()) Added texinfo documentation. Manual code is now case insensitive as far as sections are considered 0.6.0 Replaced evil `myclrtoeol' with `bkgdset+clrtoeol' Fixed putenv handler Make install does not overwrite old pinforc anymore (this has it's bad side--you must deal alone with version incompatibilities) fixed sorting of dirpage matches fixed some small bugs 0.5.9 Setenv()->putenv() (so pinfo can now compile without problems at nonlinux unices) Added SAFE-GROUP, and SAFE-USER config file options for defining users, to which we want to drop root privileges when running pinfo Added HIGHLIGHTREGEXP option, to allow highlighting of user defined regexps when viewing manuals/infos Search highlighting works now "professionaly" (as in less) Fixed sigsegv bug in search engine. 0.5.8 Fixed some ugly bugs to prepare for world domination ;-> 0.5.7 Updated man page Fixed `splitted manlink' code Added key_goto to manual code Fixed minor bugs, and portability misadvantages Modified the default info search order (./ is the last dir) Manual code displays now manuals with optional width != than 80 chars. Fixed configure --with-included-gettext (hopefuly) -r works now with compressed files 0.5.6 Fixed memory bugs Fixed displaying of concatenated dir pages Speed up alghoritms Transparent colors Manual code can now handle hyperlinks splitted by `-' sign Security filter for dangerous man macros (experimental) 0.5.5 Fixed nasty sigsegv bug in manual code. Speed improvements to the code. Many memory bugs fixed in the whole code. Added key for going to specified line. Added dir page name lookups. Now you will be able f.i. to go to `textutils:cat' after typing `pinfo cat'. Added support for printing. (with highlights, as in groff -Tascii). 0.5.4 Fixed highlighting code (the handling of \t's). PgDn works now more `traditionaly' -- at end the last link is selected. Added FILTER-0xB7 config option. Fixed bug in `*note:' detection. Added option for enabling quit confirmation at exit (as in lynx). Added option for clearing screen at exit Added support for lightbackground Fixed nonblack background in displaying contents of text. Added support for multi-dired info dir entries. Finally done some simple search highlighting. 0.5.3 Fixed stderr redirections. Now you won't get garbage on screen when following manual links. Added MAN-OPTIONS config option, which allows you to pass options to te `man' program. Added KEY_CTRL and KEY_ALT macros, which enable you to use CTRL+x and ALT+x combinations. (the ALT+x is probably only usable on linux console, but who knows ;) Fixed global regexp search code. It now searches every two following lines, to avoid returning of expressions, which are several hounderts lines long ;) Added STDERR-REDIRECTION config file option, which allows you to specify how do you wish to redirect stderr from plug-ins. Added support for long section names in manual code. Now, if your system supports it, you can make use of section names like "3ncurses", and similar, without abbreviating them to just "3". (see LONG-MANUAL-LINKS config option). Added regexp search wrapper for systems which don't support it. 0.5.2 Fixed one very bad bug. That's the reason for fast new-version release. Added German language support. Added -t option, for viewing corrupted info files. 0.5.1 Added support for mailto urls Fixed highlighting routines for info pages, which ignored tabulation formatting. Added key_pgdn(up)_auto for automatic going to the next(previous) node at the bottom(top) of viewed node. Also added support for 0 key value. Fixed one bug in $INFOPATH handler. Added support for hypertextualization of weird man sections (i.e. 3X11, 3Xt, etc. -- it's configurable) Config file allows you now to specify your web browser, and maileditor. Added national language support for Swedish and Czech. 0.5.0 Added support for http:// and ftp:// URLs embedded into man pages/info pages. Secured the mechanism of tmp file creation Added optional highlight for `quoted' text in info files Moved to configure (autoconf, automake)! Fixed sigsegv by regexp searchs. Added support for infos not ending with `.info*' suffix Added new feature to key_goto -- now when you pass there a name, ending with `.info', then key_goto will move you not to specified node, but to specified info document. Locale support now is working (see at the example with polish translation). Added key_dir Fixed support for xterm mouse. 0.4.9 Corrected global search code for inirect info files (that is those, split up across several info files). It works fine now. 0.4.8 You can now browse man pages from different sections. 0.4.7 After a week of contignous fight I've... FIXED the nasty bug, which caused so many sigsegvs! I'm really happy :)) And what about you? ;) But locales at present send sigsegvs anyway ;) I also added a program `testkey' for making it possible to obtain keycode values for weird keys for config file. 0.4.6 Fixed many bugs connected with v0.4.5. Started working on locale stuff. But for now it only causes unexpected segmentation faults ;) 0.4.5 HUGE change. I reimplemented the info handling routines so, that there is now possible to use links across different info files. Thanks to this I could also implement a handler for 'dir' page. Huh... I can't belive it works ;) 0.4.4 Made a wrapper for readline function. I just can't implement readline handling properly under ncurses, so you'd rather use this wrapper. It's not to advanced yet, but implements primary things, thich readline deals with (history, and line editing). I'm working on tab completion. 0.4.3 Added support for infos without tag table. Modified man page. 0.4.2 Modified use of readline lib. It doesn't require to use ltermcap anymore, and does not need to close curses screen... This was quite difficult task ;) Added support for resizing screen 'on the fly' (i.e. in x window). Added support for ncurses mouse (which works in xterm). 0.4.1 Recreated mechanism of opening info file. Now it is possible to add new compression methods for info by just modyfing two variables on the top of filehandling_functions.c. Also I've added support for national info pages, which may be located in the directory $INFOPATH/$LANG. (ie. for polish info pages that could be /usr/info/pl_PL/infopage.info) Added support for cutting off manual headers (--cut-man-headers) Added some nodeposition informations in status bar. 0.4.0 Support for apropos. Searches finally work properly. 0.3.9 Gnu Readline support. Now you can browse history on regexp searchs ;). Added sigblock on sigpipe. Now you can safely open pipes to programs which don't exist. 0.3.8 Added configuration file support. Fixed one bug. Expanded manual page :) 0.3.7 Added option --manual, and --raw-filename. Added support for 8-bit characters (i.e. national characters for certain charsets). Modified regexp search on manuals. Bold/italic tokens are recognized now. 0.3.6 Added possibility to call shell commands from within pinfo. Modified a bit makefile. Source does not use the 'dangerous' ;) sprintf anymore. Fixed minor bugs. 0.3.5 Fixed some more sigsegv bugs. 0.3.4 Fixed some stupid bugs in manual code. Added new comments to source. (since I almost got lost myself ;) 0.3.3 Speedup modifications. I.e. window is not refreshed now when key buffer is not empty (to avoid scrolling, when the key is already depressed, and to make it work better on slow terminals). 0.3.2 Added support for the refresh (^L) key. 0.3.1 Added possibility to redefine keys (at compile-time). Modified man page hypertext recognization (now it recognizes everything of the form 'something (x) or something (xy)'. Removed bug with regex.h in manual.c. 0.3.0 Manuals can be read now as well as info files, when info cannot be found. Manuals can be browsed similar to infos; hyperlinks are the fields od form 'something (x)' (according to the common format at SEE ALSO section). Since the change is quite big, I've moved the version number to 0.3.0. 0.2.4 Added regexp searching -- '/' option and 's' option. 0.2.3 Tiny change -- added some checking for mvaddstr functions, so they don't drop core if there's no menu/note token. 0.2.2 Added support for old curses (macro definition ___OLD_CURSES___, enabled in Makefile. That was enough to compile this program under HP-UX :) 0.2.1 Added support for "index menus", and all other of the format "* blabla:[optional spaces]node.". Added cache for menu/note highlight positions. Also code is a bit modified; to be precise I started to clarify it a bit by adding macros, and other things, to get as close to short'n'clear procedures, as possible. 0.2.0 The engine for hypertext recognization is reimplemented. Support for notes and menus of format : node. is added. Also color support is added. Also added some cache for menuchecking and notechecking functs. 0.1.5 Fixed bug with not deleting files from /tmp; added $INFOPATH support 0.1.4 Added 'g' key 0.1.3 Added pgdn/pgup/home/end keys 0.1.2 Added support for notes of kind note:: 0.1.1 First working engine; menus of kind menu:: are supported [12.III.1999] 0.0.0 I'm angry, because the only docs considering my problem (gtk) are in info format, and I just can't work with standard info ;-)
