Changes in V. 0.2.5 release  of March 15, 2005:

- Dir listing corrected for displaying file/dir
  names containing blanks (#0085).

- Handling of <SCRIPT> and <STYLE> tags improved

  for better layout.

- CSS size values enabled for tables.

- Attribute NOWRAP brought back working.

  out.  This could lead to crashes or infinite
  loops in the past.

- Render improved for better layout of floating
  block elements (eg. DIV, TABLE, P, ..).

- CSS parser improved for better compatibility.
  New keywords implemented: height, float, clear,

Changes in V. 0.2.4 release  of December 25, 2004:

- When a config file was created because none was
  found at program start the user gets a
  notification now.  Furthermore, the path of the
  loaded file is displayed on the page reachable
  with the "about:" pseudo-URL now.

- New config keyword START_PAGE to define what
  should be displayed after program start.
  NOTE:  This option will be ignored at the very
  first start of a new installed version.

- When the option 'Cookies allowed' in the menu
  get changed this will be stored in the config
  file.

- The menu bar got changed:  'Suppress Images' was
  removed (still useable from config file) and
  instead 'View Images' and 'Use CSS' were added.
  Both of the latter are stored in the cfg file.

- Functionality added to handle GEM dialogs inside
  of windows.
  Currently only the dialog from SHFT-CTRL-O uses
  this.

- High/TrueColor (24/32bit) screen modes for Hades
  graphic card drivers added.  Now images will
  appear with correct colours (#0101).

- Initialization order of AES and VDI exchanged at
  program start to avoid problems with some AESs.

- Fixed a bug that was causing endless reload try
  loops due to empty or not found CSS files.

- Fixed loading of very short files which got lost
  due to wrong handling.

- Added an extra check for images that were tryed
  to load from a HTTPS source, this could cause
  crashes in the past.

- Old bug fixed: avoid reloading pages from remote
  when the base font size got changed, use files
  from cache instead.

- Improved palette parsing for XPMs, to get more
  types of such images decoded.

- Bug #0101 resolved.

__________________________________________________
Changes in V. 0.2.3 release  of November 21, 2004:

- Support for image link maps implemented (MAP/
  AREA/USEMAP that is) for all three area types
  rectangle, circle and polygone (#0078/#0128).
  This includes also support for <A HREF> tags
  used rather then <AREA>, as defined by HTML 4.0
  (not even supported by IE5/Netscape/CAB).

- Support added for <INPUT type=image> form
  elements (#0173).

- Scroller buttons implemented for popup menus
  which doen't fit to the desktop height.  Not
  that fancy done yet but at least it useable so
  far (#0147/#0175).

- Bugfix for text input field width setting.  They
  were always set to a minimum width of 20 chars
  even if a smaller width was defined in the tag.

- Image formats XBM and XPM (X11 bitmap/pixmap)
  implemented.  These formats are very rare
  nowadays but still used by some stone old server
  (eg. the NCSA one) and all other browsers
  support at least the first format (even CAB
  does).

- Support added for web access via a proxy server.
  This can be controlled by using the keyword
     HTTP_PROXY = <proxy-ip> <port>
  in the highwire.cfg file.

- Bugs #0078, #0128, #0147, #0173, #0175 resolved.

__________________________________________________
Changes in V. 0.2.2 release  of October 31, 2004:

- Large portions of the cache handling code
  reworked.  This gets rid of several wrong
  warnings about not found files (mostly due to
  login pages for forums).

- Image width/height are saved in the disk cache
  now, this reduces reformat flickering on
  re-visited pages to the nearly absolute minimum
  (#0133).

- The window handling code also got a large rework
  to have non-modal dialog windows in the future.
  As a little gimmick the F10 key does the same now
  as the F11 does in Mozilla/IE.

- An ugly hack was added to get yahoo's buggy
  standard login working (the non-ssl version).

- CTRL-V can be used now to paste text from the
  clipboard into formular input fields.

- Named character recognition added for
  apostroph.

- More types of corrupted jpeg image data are
  catched now, instead of aborting.

- Improved detection of system type (AES + kernel),
  now XaAES is recognized also.  This also allows
  to get rid of the window fuller bug with XaAES
  (#0150, #0167).

- Some error messages are displayed by alert boxes
  now instead of console output or simple writing
  to the screen

- Workaround added for weird <base href=...>
  constructs, where the complete document path is
  used as the base (wrong usage that is, but also
  used by the W3C staff!).

- Additional filtering method to detect images
  that has a particulare directory name in their
  URL.  This method is used if the search pattern
  starts with a '/'.  Eg.
     RESTRICT_HOST I /ads/
  matches all images that has '/ads/' somewhere
  in their path.

- Bugs #0133, #0148, #0150, #0167, #0169, #0170,
  #0176, #0177 resolved.

- Bugfix for anchors inside of tables which got
  lost when more than one was defined.

- Added handling for wrong opend/closed formulars
  regarding table structures.

  over remote connections.
  NOTE:  This will only work when the CACHEDIR is
  defined properly in HighWire's cfg file!!!

  memory shall be used for caching of image
  bitmaps in memory (not those on disk):
    CACHEMEM = <kilo bytes>

  leading to an infinite loop.

- Corrected cache size calculation for disk cached
  objects (#0126).

  protocol was given in the URL of the button bar
  (in fact, when neither a leading '/' nor any ':'
  was found there) (#0093).

  prevent HighWire from hanging due to not
  responsing servers.

- Fixed a bug occuring with both rowspan and
  colspan defined in one table cell (#0119).

__________________________________________________
Changes in V. 0.1.4 release  of August 10, 2003:

- Implemented disk caching of text/html files from
  remote (only per session yet).  To enable this
  feature the highwire.cfg file needs to include
  the line
    CACHEDIR = <path>
  where <path> must be a valid and writeable
  directory.

  background colour for pages that doesn't define
  any:
    DFLT_BACKGND = <colour>

  loading to be stopped.  The same function is
  implemented for the escape key now as well.
  Additional there is also a new button for open

  job queue.

- Bugs #0092, #0114 resolved.

__________________________________________________
Changes in V. 0.1.3 release  of June 05, 2003:

- Implemented handling of shift + left/right
  cursor keys (page-wise horizontal scrolling).

- Double clicks on arrows of sliders are handled
  now in the same way as N.AES does (for left and
  right mouse button).

- New menu entry (under 'Options') to have frames
  always resizeable and scrollbars if necessary,
  even if the HTML defines anything else there.
  The default is off but can be set to on with the
  keyword FORCE_FRAMECTRL = 1 in the config file.

- New keyword FONT_MINSIZE to define a minimum
  font height in points, eg. for <font size=1>
  (see example.cfg\highwire.cfg for explanation).

  colspan and rowspan set.

- Re-implemented <div> tag rendering to tables
  with one single cell, matches their meaning much
  more now than the previous implementation.

- Added resetting of font characteristics after
  tables and title tags, this was messing up the
  renderer while calculating text word widths
  (only rarely seen on some very simple pages).

- Set texts of buttons and input fields always to
  black.

- Removed several code redundancies.

- Bugs #0041, #0096, #0098, #0102, #0103, #0104,
