  * Fix a bug when IPv6 control connection to ftp server fails
* Sat Sep 22 2018 sean@suspend.net
- links 2.17
  * Fix vrifying SSL certificates for numeric IPv6 addresses
  * Delete the option -ftp.fast - it doesn't always work and ftp performance is not an issue anymore
  * 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
  * Set link color to yellow by default
  * 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:
  * Improve handling of the DELETE key
  * Implement the bracketed paste mode
  * Fix various bugs found by coverity
  * Fix a crash in proxy authentication code
  * Fixed internal error "invalid set_handlers call" on framebuffer
    if links is suspend and terminate at the same time
Version: 2.15-bp150.1.3
* 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

    Wikipedia unreadable
  * Support fourth and fifth mouse button in gpm and framebuffer
  * Fixed bugs when downgrading SSL connection while https proxy or
    socks proxy is used
  * Security bug fixed: Don't load or render the content of
    "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
    drop links-nosslcomp.patch
* Sat Aug 06 2016 astieger@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

    in the info box popping up on "=".
  * New graphics glyphs
  * Fixed file 045e.png. It was not compatible with libpng-1.6

    pixels were used
  * Fixed some integer overflows when scaling images larger than
    65536 pixels

  * Use a blocking pipe when communicating with the dns process, it
    fixes a possible error when system pipe buffer is too small
  * data: url
  * Accept color in #xxx format (besides usual #xxxxxx)
  * Fixed an infinite retry loop when the server terminates
    connection prematurely
  * Fixed some races in the framebuffer driver that could result in
    display corruption if the user is switching virtual consoles too
    quickly
  * Don't save URLs with password to history file on a disk
  * Fixed a rare bug where image alpha channel was not applied
    correctly

  openSSL versions
* Mon Feb 11 2013 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- links was used to demonstrate bnc#803004
  "openSSL 1.0.1d breaks most, if not all, SSL connections"
  It also turns out that links is not doing SSL stuff quite right..
  HTTPS clients must not negotiate SSL compression which is compromised
  since CVE-2012-4929 (aka. the CRIME attack) and should not even
  try to use SSLv2 either which is broken since a very long time
