        http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html

2010-06-21 (2.8.8dev.4)
* check for SSL error when reading response from "GET".  This incidentally
  exposes a longstanding bug in GNUTLS:
    https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106987
  (google the message "A TLS packet with unexpected length was received")
  which prevents connection to
    https://www.mynortonaccount.com/amsweb/default.do
  (report by Ignac Vucko) -TD
* fix ifdef/define's in LYMain.c to show GNUTLS version in user-agent when
  built with tidy_tls.c -TD
* improve format of X509_NAME_oneline() in tidy_tls.c, making it compatible
  with the OpenSSL function so that no post-processing is needed -TD
* correct typo in configure --enable-gnutls-compat option, which sometimes made
  it enabled as a side-effect of setting --with-gnutls -TD
* add configure option --enable-wais, for test-compiles with freeWAIS -TD
* fixes to build with VMS -Christoph J Gartmann
  + created [.src]multinet_ucx.opt with a single line
    multinet_root:[multinet.library]ucx$ipc/LIBRARY
  + modified build.com to have an additional option "Multinet with
    UCX emulation"
  + modified libmake.com for the same reason
  + modified [.www.library.implementation]www_tcp.h for the same reason
  + provide definition of IS_CJK_TTY for HTWAIS.c by adding include of
    LYStrings.h
* fix typo in users's guide -PBM
* drop mkdirs.sh and MKINSTALLDIRS symbol from makefiles, using "mkdir -p" -TD
* limit parsed URIs with new config parameter MAX_URI_SIZE, default 8192
  (RedHat #605286, forwarded by Vincent Danen). For arbitrarily long URIs,
  alloca() could run out of stack space -TD
* several changes to configure script, from ongoing work on xterm, etc -TD
  + workaround for broken ".pc" file for X Toolkit, which omits the ICE
    library.
  + modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG to use CF_CURSES_HEADER to pick out the particular
    flavor of ncurses.h, e.g., <ncursesw/curses.h>
  + add parameter to CF_CURSES_HEADER to allow looking for specific
    subdirectory ncurses/ncursesw/etc + restructured CF_X_ATHENA to use
    pkg-config, if available.
  + use CF_ADD_LIB/CF_ADD_LIBS
  + CF_GNUTLS eliminates duplicate libraries when configuring with pkg-config
  + modified several macros to quote params of ifelse()
  + CF_AR_FLAGS allows $ARFLAGS to override the choice of ar-flags, in
    particular check if a given choice is part of the current $ARFLAGS
  + workaround CF_XOPEN_CURSES for (temporary) problem with ncurses headers,
    which did not account for the fact that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED may be
    defined in a system header.
* remove redundant updates for CFLAGS and LIBS in configure script which are
  now done in CF_FIND_LINKAGE macro -TD
* fix a problem with configure script which broke "--with-gnutls=/usr" (report
  by Atsuhito Kohda) -TD
* resolve warnings from "clang --analyze", tested with Fedora 12 and clang
  2.6-0.5.pre1.fc12, 2.7-1.fc12 -TD
* further improvements to print_wwwfile_to_fd() -TD
  + corrected length used for radio/checkboxes.
  + fill in wrapped fields.
