- \ \ / 3 | Voyager 3.3beta79
- \ V / | Beta Release (11.2.2001)
- \_/ | http://v3.vapor.com/
-
- Welcome to V3.3beta79
-
- This is the third "beta" version of V3 with the new layout
- engine. It now has approached a somewhat usable state again.
- It's still not compiled with code-optimization, it hasn't
- been manually optimized yet and it still contains tons of
- debugging code.
-
- WARNING -- THE IMAGE DECODER VERSIONS OF THIS VERSION
- ARE *NOT* BACKWARD COMPATIBLE WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
- Worse still, if you feed them to an older V version,
- the older V version will nuke. This is due to an shortsight
- in the design of the interface between Image Decoders and
- the core V module -- this has been fixed for future releases,
- but can't be remedied for V 3.2 and below.
-
- The PPC image decoder library included is a native MorphOS
- compiled version; it will only run with MorphOS. See
- http://www.morphos.de/ for more information about
- MorphOS.
-
- You need the Plugins/ dir of the V3.2 full version
- to make this version run. Copy the included plugins over
- any of the old ones.
-
- Notable known deficiencies (not worth reporting):
-
- - <SCRIPT SRC=x> is dysfunctional
- - list item blocks don't get proper indentation
- (same for BLOCKQUOTE)
- - no printing at all
- - it's not possible to add submenus to context menus yet
-
-
- This version requires a keyfile to run.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- [changes since 3.3.75, previous public beta]
-
- 3.3.76
- ------
- - CVS: bumped compile to .76
- - JS: again, setting properties which weren't settable could cause
- a major crash, due to the fact that the custom property handlers
- were trying to interpret a string (or other) value as an object.
- Now hopefully fixed once and for all, in case such a thing happens,
- a "Property can't be modified" message is thrown up (Olli)
- - JS: it's now possible to set form.target and form.action
- [www.teleauskunft.de] (Olli)
- - General: fixed MUI app object contained version string (which
- is also shown by Exchange) (Olli)
- - JS: added date.toLocaleString(), date.toUTCString(), date.toGMTString(),
- date.getMilliseconds() and date.setMilliseconds() (Olli)
- - JS: added the UTC versions of the date.getXX() functions (Olli)
- - JS: added the UTC versions of the date.setXX() functions (Olli)
- - JS: made Date.parse() work (Olli)
- - JS: implemented the Date(millis) and Date(string) date class
- constructors (Olli)
- - JS: serious bug in the scanner would interpret all numeric
- literals without a decimal point as a 32 bit integer, thus
- screwing up values which didn't fit into this range (notably
- Date initializers) (Olli)
- - JS: implemented the Date(year,month,day) etc.pp. constructors
- (Olli)
- - JS: fixed problem with anchor mouseover event handler return
- code being ignored under certain circumstances (Olli)
-
- 3.3.77
- ------
- - CVS: bumped compile to .77
- - JS: added form.reset() (Olli)
- - Layouter: added percentage support for WIDTH and HEIGHT in the <IMG> tag
- (Zapek)
- - Layouter: fixed a problem in the group class causing it to ignore
- margins when layouting inner objects (Olli)
- - Layouter: fixed a problem with cascaded <... align=left> objects
- being not properly layed out (Olli)
- - Layouter: fixed a really bizarre interaction with <li> and
- left aligned tables [www.tomshardware.com] (Olli)
- - Imagedecode: fixed a very longstanding bug in the AGA c2p code
- which would write excess data for every 17, 49 etc. column.
- Also optimized the code a bit while being at it. Version bumped
- to 16.11. (Olli)
- - Layouter: added percentage support for WIDTH and HEIGHT in the <EMBED> tag
- (Zapek)
-
- 3.3.78
- ------
- - CVS: bumped compile to .78
- - Layouter: fixed the very same layout interaction problem for
- align=right objects now (ahem) (Olli)
- - Rexx: changed OpenURL to LoadURL and put back the old OpenURL version. ARexx
- scripts should now work and openurl.library as well (Zapek)
- - Layouter: fixed a problem with the "end of page" operations sometimes
- not being triggered properly (status update, triggering of meta refresh,
- etc.) (Olli)
- - Prefs: added automatic conversion of "ReloadURL FORCE" to "LoadURL RELOAD
- FORCE" for people not reading readmes :) (Zapek)
- - Layouter: fixed a selection problem with large <SELECT> lists which were
- not in multiple mode [www.xe.com/ucc] (Olli)
- - JS: fixed a potential race condition in setting JS timers which
- could cause a full lockup (Olli)
- - Net: POSTing to URLs containing #anchors was completely dysfunctional
- [www.excite.co.uk] (Olli)
- - JS: undefined variables now indeed evaluate to "undefined", instead
- of causing an error bail out [a good quarter of the www] (Olli)
- - Layouter: added ALIGN=MIDDLE as an alias for ALIGN=CENTER (similiar
- to the existant VALIGN=CENTER alias for VALIGN=MIDDLE) (Olli)
- - Net: when following a redirect, the target GET is now sent
- with the ORIGINAL URL as a Referer:, instead of the FORWARDING URL.
- This fixes problems with scripts checking the Referer: and relying
- on the MSIE behavior [www.lycos.co.uk SMS service] (Olli)
- - Net: made the date parser a bit more forgiving against slightly
- offstandard date formats -- should fix some problems with cookies
- expiring too quickly (like, immediately) (Olli)
- - Prefs: when all cookies were deleted, the list wasn't saved,
- thus the cookies reappeared after a restart (Olli)
-
- 3.3.79 [3rd public beta]
- ------------------------
- - CVS: bumped compile to .79
- - Layouter: changes in image sizes didn't cause the necessity
- of scrollers to be reevaluated. This mostly showed when loading
- individual po^H^Himages (Olli)
- - Layouter: increased chance that upon showing individual images,
- image info can be shown in the window title properly (Olli)
- - Layouter: fixed enforcer hits when only one of the image
- dimensions was specified (Olli)
- - Layouter: now supports transparency in background images (Olli)
- - General: added workaround for broking URLs of the form
- http://www.theviking.net?blah=blubb (i.e., missing "/" after host)
- (Olli)
- - Layouter: now strips off URI arguments when submitting a form
- (Olli)
- - Prefs: fixed automatic prefs conversion not working for context menus
- (Zapek)
- - JS: setting of custom properties on the document object works
- again (Olli)
- - Net: fixed enforcer hits on FTP login (Olli)
