Help On Mosaic v1.0
If you have accessed this document from the Help On Version menu selection in
NCSA Mosaic, you are using version 1.0.
Version 1.0 includes the following changes from
version 0.13:
- Added new resource, gethostbynameIsEvil, for Sun's that coredump when gethostbyname() is called to try to find out what their own names are. (Command-line flag is -ghbnie.)
- Explicitly pop down all dialog boxes when document view window is closed, for window managers too dull to do so themselves.
- Better visited anchor color for non-SGI's.
- Added .hqx and .uu to list of file extensions handled like .tar files.
- Added 'Clear' button to Open box, to allow more convenient cut-n-paste entries of URL's.
- New resource 'autoPlaceWindows'; if set to False, new document view windows will not be automatically positioned by the program itself (but it's still up to your window manager just how they're placed).
- Command-line flags -i and -iconic now have desired effect (new resource initialWindowIconic can also be used).
- Gif-reading code is a little more bulletproof.
- Obscure infinite loop triggered by extra space in IMG tag fixed.
- Eliminated nonintuitive error message when image can't be read (inlined NCSA bitmap is indication enough that something's not right for authors, and readers can't do anything about bad images in any case).
- Obscure parsing bug (for constructs like <ADDRESS><A HREF=...>text<A></ADDRESS>) fixed.
- Fixed mysterious stupid coredump that only hits Suns.
- Fixed stupid coredump on URL's like '://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/'.
- Fixed buglet in handling rlogin URL's.
- New support for Solaris/SYSVR4 (courtesy dana@thumper.bellcore.com).
- Better support for HP-UX 8.x and 9.x (courtesy johns@hpwarf.wal.hp.com).
- Better support for NeXT (courtesy scott@shrug.dur.ac.uk).
- Some miscellaneous portability fixes (courtesy bingle@cs.purdue.edu).
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanups.
