* Add bold and monospaced Turkish letter 'i' without a dot
* On OS/2 allocate OpenSSL memory fro the lower heap. It fixes SSL on systems with old 16-bit TCP/IP stack
* Fix IPv6 on OpenVMS Alpha
* Support mouse scroll wheel in textarea
* Delete the option -http-bugs.bug-302-redirect - RFC7231 allows the "buggy" behavior and defines new codes 307 and 308 that retain the post data
* X11 - fixed colormap leak when creating a new window
* Fixed an infinite loop that happened in graphics mode if the user clicked on OK in "Miscellaneous options" dialog and more than one windows were open. This bug was introduced in Links 2.15
* Support 6x6x6 RGB palette in 256-bit color mode on framebuffer
* Implement dithering properly on OS/2 in 15-bit and 16-bit color mode. In 8-bit mode, Links may optionally use a private palette - it improves visual quality of Links images, but degrades visual quality of other concurrently running programs.
* Improve scrolling smoothness when the user drags the whole document
* On OS/2, allocate large memory blocks directly (not with malloc). It reduces memory waste
* Fixed a bug that setting terminal title and resizing a terminal didn't work on OS/2 and Windows. The bug was introduced in Links 2.16 when shutting up coverity warnings

* Delete the option -http-bugs.bug-post-no-keepalive. It was needed in 1999 to avoid some bug in some http server and it is not needed anymore
* Trust Content-Length on HTTP/1.0 redirect requests. This fixes hangs with misbehaving servers that honor Connection:keep-alive but send out HTTP/1.0 reply without Connection: keep-alive. Links thought that they don't support keep-alive and waited for the connection to close (for example http://www.raspberrypi.org)
* Use keys 'H' and 'L' to select the top and bottom link on the current page
* Sat Jun 30 2018 astieger@suse.com
- links 2.16:

* Fixed internal error "invalid set_handlers call" on framebuffer
if links is suspend and terminate at the same time
* Sat Mar 24 2018 astieger@suse.com
- links 2.15:
* Rewrite google docs URLs to the download link, so that the file
can be viewed in external viewer
* Add the list of domains for which proxy is not used
* Temporarily replace the stderr handle with /dev/null when
decoding png or svg images because the libraries may write to
stderr
* Fix improper restarts of connection when http compression is
used
* Free cache when using the -source flag, so that memory
consumption is not dependent on downloaded file size
* Do not download compressed files. When the server returns
compressed file and we are downloading, restart the connection
without compression.
* Allow browsing files containing characters < 32 in the filename
* Limit the number of OpenMP threads to 8
* Fix premature call to OPENSSL_cleanup while some SSL objects
could still exist
* Enable -ftree-vectorize and -ffast-math for GCC, so that it uses
vector instructions. It improves performance of image scaler.
* Support international domain names
* Fix reordering of blocked URLs each time options were saved and
loaded
* Fix reading one byte beyond allocated space in case of corrupted
UTF-8 data - CVE-2017-11114 bsc#1051448
* Support the brotli compression algorithm using libbrotli
* Support lzip compression
* Add a new main menu item 'Windows' for switching windows on
framebuffer
* Fix an internal error if the gpm server is terminated while
links is running on a framebuffer
* Use fsync() when writing the bookmarks or settings
* Clear host entry in DNS cache when connection failed
* Use built-in SSL certificates
* Encode strings to UTF-8 when storing them in a history, it fixes
a bug when browsing the history if Links is run on multiple
terminals with different character sets
* Use absolute time when calculating the time to flush DNS cache,
HTTPS session cache and keepalive connection cache, so that the
cache gets flushed when the machine is kept suspended for a
long time.
* Report IP addresses in the "Document info" box.
* Implement a small connection timeout when connecting to a host
with multiple addresses, so that there is faster fallback from
IPv6 to IPv4.
* Replace OpenSSL malloc functions with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions,
so that when malloc returns NULL, we can free some cached data
and retry
* Removed special handling of ".onion" addresses
* Avoid memcpy with NULL source argument and zero length
* Make the "dns-prefetch" link prefetch just dns, not the whole
document
* Use OpenSSL functions X509_check_host and X509_check_ip if
available
* Report status when formatting document or searching
* Use session cache on https
* Wed Jun 28 2017 tchvatal@suse.com

distribution
* Thu Jun 15 2017 astieger@suse.com

the SWEET32 attack bsc#1022469

socks proxy is used

"407 Proxy Authentication Required" reply when using https
proxy. This avoids the FalseCONNECT attack. bsc#1022468
Also, don't allow 401 and 407 responses to set cookies.
* Pop openssl error stack on every error - make sure that SSL
errors on one connection do not affect other connections
* Never select directfb driver automatically unless started with
the '-driver directfb' option
- previously patched:
* Disable SSL compression to avoid the CRIME attack bsc#1022469

instances, so that the anonymous instance won't connect to non-anonymous
one [boo#992495]
* <samp> element

dialog windows asking for the same server

* Fri Dec 26 2014 tchvatal@suse.com
- Version bump to 2.9:
* Work around some screen-corruption bugs in the OpenVMS terminal driver
* Support mouse wheel in framebuffer (unfortunatelly we can't support it
in text mode because when we instruct gpm to send us the wheel event,
gpm stops drawing the cursor when the mouse is moved).
* Pring "^" and "_" for <sub> and <sup> tags in text mode
* An option to fake Firefox in the HTTP header. It modifies User-Agent and
several other options to be more Firefox-like. This option is also
automatically turned on when "Connect only via proxies or Socks (useful
for tor)" is selected. It makes it safer to use Links with tor.
* Fixed quadratic complexity in the text renderer when exteremely long
lines were used
* Do not print the character 0x9b if the display character set doesn't
have it, because it is interpreted as a control character on the Linux
