Enter key.
- A sequence of cells in a column can now be selected, and any editing
command can then be applied to that sequence of cells. To perform such a

MathML
- When saving a XHTML 1.1 document containing some mathematical
expressions in MathML, the DOCTYPE specified in the 2nd edition of the
MathML 2.0 recommendation is now generated. Documents produced by Amaya
should now be better displayed by Internet Explorer with MathML
plug-ins.

User Interface
Neue Funktionen
behobene Fehler
- Some treatments associated with a Delete action were applied too late.
That could generate a crash
- The GTK version crashed when working with a remote screen. Now Amaya

- On Windows platforms with exotic keyboard, Amaya didn't insert the
right Unicode characters.

SVG
- Amaya now recognizes all SVG 1.0 elements and attributes. All elements
and attributes are parsed, stored in the DOM tree, displayed in the
structure view, and saved when saving the file. All can be edited in the
structure or source view, but not all of them are taken into account when
displaying in the main view.
- Created rectangles were bigger than expected.
- Avoid flashing when saving a SVG document or a document containing some
SVG.
- Transformations and opacity were misinterpreted on French Windows
platforms.

(text, tspan, tref, etc.) --
However, when these attributes contain a list of coordinates, only the
first one is interpreted in this version.
- Generate an anchor element (<a>) instead of a Xlink attribute
when the user creates a link in SVG.
- Shapes were not sensitive if they are contained in anchors.
CSS
- The universal selector
* is supported.
- Expressions such as
[att|=val] in selectors are
supported

- Improvement to CSS selectors using a class on an ancestor.
(X)HTML
- New transformations:
- <address> to <p> and <p> to <address>
- <pre> to <p> and <p> to <pre>
- <ol> or <ul> to list of <p>

user creates a new input element.
- The background, text, and link attributes were not detected as invalid
attributes when parsing a XHTML 1.1 document.
- When the source file of a (X)HTML document contained an empty inline
element (<a>, <strong>, <tt>....), the user could
select within this empty element.
- Display the ALT text when an image cannot be loaded.
- When new link and anchor elements are created within HTML documents,
Amaya added the XLink namespace declaration.

(X)HTML behobene Fehler
- To keep compatibility with old browsers, Amaya generates the meta
element with an http-equiv when a XHTML document is saved.
- When an erroneous XHTML document is re-parsed as HTML, CSS files were
loaded twice.
- Don't mark modified an erroneous XHTML document loaded as HTML.
- The <applet> element was not accepted within <li>
elements.
- Repair isolated <td> and <th> elements.

move or resize foreignObjects.
Annotations
Neue Funktionen
- In addition to handling annotation bodies of type XHTML, Amaya can now
read and write annotation bodies that are of type plain text, SVG, and
MathML. These bodies may have been created with other Annotea clients
(Amaya proposes XHTML by default).

Shift Ctrl E that
extends the selection to end of the line and Shift Ctrl A
that extends the selection to the beginning of the line.

after modifying the charset.
- Amaya didn't modify the document doctype according to the Save As
format option.
- In the source view of a document, it was possible to back space and the
file name became part of the file.
- Now a selection within the source view doesn't alter the corresponding
paragraph in the formatted view.
- When selecting the DOCTYPE, a comment or a PI in the Structure view,
the Attribute menu contained a few items. The menu is now empty in this
case.
- The Spell Checker no longer checks the PI and the DOCTYPE.
- Sometimes a Backspace or a Delete crashed Amaya.
- The spell checker sometimes isolated and checked fragments of words as
if they were words.

after a transformation into a list.
Druck
behobene Fehler

by default.
- A new WorkSpace WindowsGL allows one to generate an OpenGL version with
internationalization.
18 Dezember, 2001
User Interface
- Amaya is now able to handle documents with different profiles at the
same time (for example a XHTML 1.0 Basic document and a XHTML 1.0
Transitional document ). Menus are updated according to the document
profile and the Paste command avoids to paste elements which are not
allowed by the document profile.
- The File / Document Info menu now also gives information about the type
of document that the windows is displaying: SVG, MathML, HTML
Transitional, XHTML, and so on.
- Sometimes, after a deletion, the caret was put at a surprising
location.
- Edits were discarded without warning if a user makes changes to a
document, clicks the browse/edit button and then quit Amaya.
- After entering a greek character from the Math/Greek palette, the next
characters typed on the keyboard were interpreted as greek
characters.
- The attributes menu now lists all attributes associated with the
selected element, including those that are not allowed by the DTD. The
user can then delete those invalid attributes easily.

attributes is now preserved in the Structure view.
- Editing the value of attributes in the Alternate or Structure view is
now much easier.
- Field "Font zoom" in Special/Preferences/General uses now percentage
values.
- Like in other browsers, it is now optional to type the "http://"
protocol when opening a URL in the The Open: address bar and the File /
Open menus. If you type a URL such as www.w3.org in those entries, Amaya
will assume you mean http://www.w3.org. Note that this does not work when
launching Amaya. If you don't type the suffix and do a "amaya
www.w3.org,, Amaya will assume you want to edit a document called
"www.w3.org" and, if it doesn't find it, will propose to create it.
Documentation
- That release includes a new version of the English documentation
developed by the Winwriters team: Kim Cramer, Kim Nylander, Kathy Rosen,
Michael Spinella.
Annotations
- It is now possilbe to make annotations on annotations.
- We now support a new reply RDF schema that allows users to reply to
annotations. This allows to have discussion threads attached to
annotations. As with annotations, you can store the replies on servers or
locally. See The Help / Annotations page for more information.
- All the information related to an annotation (body, author of the
annotation, title of the annotation) are now being stored as UTF-8.

msubsup element was not well formatted and it was a pain to
enter the rest of the expression.
- MathML entities are now displayed in the Structure view and they may be
edited in that view.
(X)HTML
- When a
select element (a menu) had no preselected
option, Amaya preselected the first option.
This made some HTML forms unusable.
- When a new image was created the length of its

- Bug fix: content of comments in HTML was lost by the parser and Amaya
entered an infinite loop when releasing comment elements.
- The weird element <!> is now skipped by the HTML parser, but the
following element or character string is preserved.
- When a HTML a(nchor) element was selected, command cut was deleting its
content, not the a(nchor) itself.
- When using the menu to insert a textarea in a form, Amaya instead
inserts a text input field. Also when pressing ctrl-f, ctrl-t.
- Amaya didn't open enough room for some cells with an attribute
colspan.
- Sometimes the structure view of a document that includes large tables
was completely broken (some contents was lost or overlapping).
- When the document had not attribute lang, inserting a text after a
greek character (β by example) generated a span element with a
wrong laguage.
- When a document had an attribute lang="el", ASCII characters were
interpreped as greek characters.
- Amaya now understands and interprets elements <embed> when they
refers to a SVG or a MathML document.
MathML

spaces. They are now displayed as rectangles.
- When creating a new construct within an empty math element, the new
construct replaced the math element instead of becoming its child.
- Amaya automatically generates a processing instruction that refers to
an XSL stylesheet defined by David Carlisle and allows the document to be

font.
- The CSS parser didn't load the imported style sheet when the url was
coded url("....").
- The modification of the CSS informations in the source view were not
taken into account by the synchronize command.
User Interface
- Printing on Windows platforms generated and error "Error- Source:
PrintDoc (4)"
- Extra pages were generated when printing large tables.
- When options "Show map areas" or "Section Numbering" were active Amaya
didn't apply them to new loaded documents.
- Two new items in the menu Preferences/General allow users to set or
unset options "Show targets" and "Section Numbering" in all windows.
Amaya keeps these preferences form one session to another.
- Adding some feedback in the button bar in both the Windows and the Unix
version: the display of buttons pen, E, S, and C buttons changes when the
option is active.
- The document URL was always printed on the top of table of contents
pages.
- When loading an invalid XHTML document, Amaya displays a popup that
allows you either to reload this document with the HTML parser or to see
where errors are located. When loading an invalid XML only the second
proposition is available.

- Amaya showed wrong colors in images when the driver used 15 bit colors
but requested 16 bit colors. Now Amaya checks the encoding color by
itself (it uses the method proposed by Tim Lesher).
Publishing
- Handling of the HTTP Content-Location header. When publishing to a URL
finishing in "/", if we don't have a previous Content-Location, we'll
propose the user to use Overview.html and use that as the value of
Content-Location. This fixes problems that we had wrt the cache not being
updated correctly
- In the Windows version a new item "Export CR/LF" of the menu
Preferences/General allows users to generate a DOS compatible file
format.
11 July, 2001

- Amaya didn't save the ampersand character (&) for non-supported
entities within attributes.
MathML
- MathML attributes were not displayed in the menu
Attributes when an isolated formula (file x.mml) was
edited.
- Amaya generates an error message in the log file when a construct does
not contain the right number of children.
- Handling of unknown opening or closing fences in mfenced.
SVG
- When an HTML object pointed to an SVG image with sizes in percents, the
SVG was not displayed correctly.

Accessibility
- The Enter key within a text input or a password input
submits the corresponding form.
- The Tab key moves the cursor focus to the next (or the
first in the document) link or form element.
- The Shift Tab key moves the cursor focus to the
previous (or the last in the document) link or form element.
- On Windows platforms, shortcuts involving keys 0-9 as well as
Alt Enter didn't work. This bug is fixed now.
- Some accesskeys within HTML tables didn't work.
- Amaya displays now maps which are not linked with an image.
User Interface
- A simple click or a double click with the right button of the mouse on
a link displays the target document within a new window. A double click
(or a simple click depending on the current Amaya configuration) now
replaces the current document. If the current document is modified a
pop-up is displayed asking the user whether s/he accepts to lose unsaved
modifications.
- Amaya is now able to share structure schemas. So we increased the limit
of simultaneously open documents from 10 to 50.
- A local file such as
example.txt even if it contains HTML
(or XHTML, or SVG, or MathML) source code is now open in text-mode.
- The local file name generated by the command New was not the URI
proposed within the dialogue box.
- The spell-checker didn't consider the character newline as a word
separator. That caused trouble within HTML elements
pre.
- The command "Go to home" didn't check if the current document was
modified or not.
- When the copy command was applied to an element anchor (or
strong, bold, etc.) only the included text was
copied.
- The content of the cut/paste buffer is no longer lost when you close
the document this content comes from.
- In some cases the scroll in the Structure view didn't work
correctly.
- Amaya refused to cut selections that included some math symbols.
- An index on the online documentation is now available. Thanks to the
company WinWriters which did the
job.
- Improving the command "Save As": it's possible to change the MIME type
and the charset of the document to be saved.
- Options "Copy images" and "Transform URLs" are now also available when
saving a SVG document.
- On some X-Window platforms the double-click didn't work.
- A first Alpha version of the Amaya browser based on GTK is now
available.
(X)HTML
- Amaya provides a profile for XHTML 1.1.
- Support for Ruby Annotation. Amaya can display
both simple and complex ruby. It can create simple ruby.
- Windows bug fix: Amaya did not handle correctly the
width
attribute in HTML tables when a document was printed.
- Windows bug fix: when the user created a SVG element the window area
discovered by the SVG palette was not redisplayed.
- A simple Return could disable the table formatter for the rest of the
Amaya session. The consequence was a bad display of HTML tables and in
some case a crash.
- The formatter didn't handle horizontal margins correctly. Due to this
bug, Amaya didn't display correctly images with an attribute hspace.
- When the an attribute value was selected and the window that displays
that attribute was closed, the selection was not cancelled. Any new
selection generated an Amaya crash.
- When an anchor element had both attributes name and id, two target
icons were displayed by command Views/Show targets.
Internationalization
- When Amaya generated source files it didn't pay attention to UTF-8
characters. So a line break could be inserted in the middle of a
multi-byte sequence.
CSS
class attributes that contain a sequence of space
separated names are now handled correctly.- The CSS parser gives now some feedback: errors and warnings. They are
displayed by the command Views/Show parsing errors.
- Invalid class selectors and ids are now detected.
- Quoted font-family values were not correctly parsed.
- class and pseudo-class attributes work with SVG and MathML
documents.
- The command Set BackgroundColor didn't work when the BODY element was
selected.
- CSS properties width and height are now supported.
SVG
- Amaya supports now inclusion of SVG files linked by elements
img or object.
- SVG drawings included that way (or parts of them) can be freely copied
to other SVG drawings.
- Windows bug fix: when the user created a SVG element the window area
uncovered by the SVG palette was not redisplayed.
- Bug fix: The resizing of a SVG element didn't work correctly.
- New feature: Double-clicking a use element in a SVG drawing scrolls the
structure view (if it's open) and shows the referred symbol element at
the top of the window.
Images
- With a True color screen, PNG images are displayed with they right
colors. In previous version, an algorithm reduced the number of colors to
128 for all platforms. Today the algorithm is activated for only limited
screens (less than 16 plans).
- Amaya didn't interpret transparent percent value of PNG images. Some
PNG images define a transparent color with 100% of opacity and Amaya
considered that that color was transparent. It's fixed now.
- On Windows platforms, printing a document with images could crash.
- Improving the handling of colors on Windows platforms with 256 color
screens.
- Amaya could browse image URLs but couldn't save them.
23 März, 2001
behobene Fehler
- MathML: In the last release, we changed the MathML entity table used by
Amaya, but some entities previously declared as the    was
forgotten.
- Improving the support of MathML expressions within HTML documents.
- Forms: The translation of non ASCII characters for the submission of
forms didn't work correctly.
- XHTML: The entity & in an attribute value was not
preserved.
- (X)HTML: When the document was scrolled the background of the body was
not repainted correctly.
- User interface: Due to a lack of initialization, in some cases the
function that gets the next word didn't work correctly.
- User interface: Menu entry "Edit mode" was not correcly initialized.
The menu "Annotations" was disabled by error when the document cannot be
edited.
15 März, 2001
Changes
- Character entities are now handled correctly: When Amaya is not able to
interpret the entity, it displays a '?' or it displays the entity value
(it occurs when the entity is within an attribute value or when Amaya
doesn't recognize that entity). In all cases entities are restored when
the document is saved, except if the document encoding is ISO-latin-1 and
the entity corresponds to an ISO-latin-1 character. If the document
encoding is ASCII, Amaya translates ISO-latin-1 characters into
entities.
- XHTML documents are read by default as UTF 8 files. When there is no
information about the charset in the HTTP header, in the XML declaration,
or in a META element, a XHTML document is considered as encoded in UTF 8.
As the default charset is different for HTML documents and XHTML
documents (the default charset for HTML documents is ISO-latin-1), it
often occurs that authors created ISO-latin-1 XHTML documents which
didn't provide information about the charset. As soon as a character
analyzed by the XML parser doesn't match a valid UTF 8 character, the
document is considered as invalid: the parsing is stopped and an error
message is displayed. In that specific case, the command "Reopen in
ISO-latin-1" is activated that allows you to reopen the document with a
charset set to ISO-latin-1. The reopen document is now considered as
modified (a charset has been added) and can be saved.
- Links were always rendered as underlined text when printing a HTML
page. This is now under user's control. To make this happen now, your
user style sheet (file
amaya.css in your Amaya home
directory) should contain:
@media print {a:link {text-decoration: underline} ... }
- SVG: the user can now create paths. However, this is currently limited
to a sequence of Cubic Bezier.
- Annotations: it's now possible to move an existing annotation to
another part of a document..
- Annotations: it's now possible to annotate table, tbody, thead, and
tfoot elements (a slight display problem remains, though).
behobene Fehler
- Amaya crashed when the selection was at the beginning of the BODY and
the user tried to extend the selection to a previous word.
- Moving commands didn't work with elements BR.
- The command "Open document" crashed when Amaya used the profile
"browser".
- The background color of the BODY was not set on Windows platforms.
- When a table had attribute
align="center", it was centered
in the page (this is OK), but the content of all its cells was also
centered within the cells (this was wrong).
- When printing a document, the right part of some elements was not
printed. This was due to a clipping error.
- The HTML element meta that gives the document charset is now generated
as the first child in the head.
- Amaya crashed when the user deleted the whole content of a STYLE
element
- In some cases, Amaya created a STYLE element without the mandatory type
attribute.
- Windows menus: When several documents were displayed and edited at the
same time there was a confusion in the menu handler. A common effect was
a menu File which didn't work.
- Windows File Info Menu : the location item appearance was changed to
make it more intuitive that it can be scrolled.
- SVG: holes from subpath were not correctly rendered (fixed on Windows
only).
- SVG: rectangles were shifted to the top left of their correct
position.
- SVG: paths that should be open were closed (happened on Windows
only).
- SVG: shapes created in a new drawing were filled with black by default.
They are now created with a black outline and not filled.
- SVG: selection of overlapping shapes, including complex paths, is now
possible.
- Annotations: several problems occured when two annotations began their
selection on the same element.
- Annotations: sometimes when single clicking on an annotation that was
annotation a whole element would result in the highlight of the
annotation icon, rather than that of the annotated text.
- Libwww: there was a conflict conflict with digest authentication, stale
nonces, and pipelined requests, which resulted in the user being prompted
to authenticate multiple times when a nonce changed.
28 Februar, 2001
User Interface
- Access keys: When an author associated an attribute accesskey to a link
(example accesskey="a") in a document, the command Alt-accesskey (in the
example Alt-a) will activate that link. Pressing Alt- accesskey when
assigned to a form element will give the focus to that element (the
following element for LABEL and LEGEND). Elements that support accesskey
are: AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, LABEL, LEGEND, and TEXTAREA
- Windows keyboard shortcuts: Like in the Unix versions, the Amaya
Windows version now also accepts single Alt key, single Control key, but
also a sequence of two Alt keys and a sequence of two Control keys. The
Shift key can also be used to generate a different shortcut.
For example with the new defaut configuration file amaya.kb, Ctrl m +
Ctrl m will generate a mathml element, Alt v + Alt s will open the
structure view, Ctrl o will open a new document in the current window,
Shift Ctrl O will open a new document in a new window.
With this new possibility quite all Amaya functions have a
shortcut.
- Word selection: A double click on a character selects the current word,
Ctrl Left moves the selection to the beginning of the
previous word, Ctrl Right moves the selection to the
beginning of the next word, Ctrl Shift Left extends the
selection to the beginning of the previous word, Ctrl Shift
Right extends the selection to the beginning of the next word.
- Amaya now remembers the paper format chosen by the user between
sessions.
- The commands "Open", "Open in new window", and the command line can now
be used to create a new local document.
- A new command "Document Information" gives you access to information
about the current loaded document (MIME type, charset, etc.).
- Windows: We now set the focus to the first entry of the following popup
menus: Save, Save As, Make Link, Search.
- When the user inserts an ISO-latin-1 character into anASCII document,
the document will be saved with the charset "iso-8859-1".
- New Document Information pop-up menu. This menu is accesible thru the
File menu bar. For the moment, it shows the Content Type, Content Length,
charset, and location headers as given in the HTTP headers or in the
document META elements.
- Bug fix: Sometimes, Amaya crashed when opening a new document view.
- Bug fix: The search menu and the spellchecker menu were not closed when
the working document was closed or reloaded. Further use of these menus
could generate a crash.
- Bug fix: Some document windows were open without history thus buttons
Back and Forward were never activated in these windows.
- Bug fix: Image map areas were misplaced.
MathML
- The following attributes are interpreted for element
mtable: align, frame,
side
- The following attributes are interpreted for element
mtd:
rowspan, columnspan
- Bug fix: attribute
columnalign was not handled correctly
for mlabeledtr elements. It was not re-evaluated when
creating new rows or columns in a mtable element.
XHTML
- Amaya now interprets the new MIME type
"
application/xhtml+xml".
- The default extension for XHTML documents is
.html.
- Bug fix: When a XHTML document with encoding="iso-8859-1" got
ISO-latin-1 characters within attributes these characters were read as
UTF-8 and saved as ISO-latin-1. So each document saving altered the
original document. Now it's fixed.
- Bug fix: × and ÷ characters are no longer
displayed as OE and oe ligatures in a PostScript files.
CSS
- It's now possible to disable/enable CSS rules of the document (given in
the element
style).
- By default Amaya justifies text when printing. You can disable that
feature by including the following statement in your personnal style
sheet:
@media print { body {text-align: left}}
- Some color names were available not interpreted by print.
- Amaya interprets now processing instructions with a target of
xml-stylesheet (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/).
- Bug fix: centered paragraphs are no longer justified
- Bug fix: The Amaya command (Style/Style sheets/Open) didn't open a CSS
file when its name doesn't have the suffix .css.
SVG
- Bug fix: In a SVG drawing, it was impossible to select a substring of a
character string overlapping an image: the whole string was selected.
- Bug fix: In a SVG drawing, the selection was not shown when a
structured element was selected.
- Bug fix: Moving an SVG image generated a new random position.
- Paths are now displayed and printed, although arcs are not handled
yet.
Annotations/XPointer
- Enhancement In addition to HTML, XHTML, and MathML, it is now possible
to annotate SVG elements.
- Change: The value of the "context" RDF Annotation scheme that stores
the XPointer now includes the complete URL of the annotated document.
Previously, we were only generating the XPointer fragment. This change is
backwards compatible with existing annotations.
- Bug fix: When creating an annotation, the annotation window won't
appear unless we can build a valid XPointer expression. Previously, we
opened this window regardless of the value of the XPointer.
- Bug fix: In some cases (complex nested tables, MathML matrices), we
were generating a bad XPointer.
- Bug fix: In a SVG drawing, it was impossible to select a substring of a
character string overlapping an image: the whole string was selected.
Libwww
- Bug fix: When a server sent back a big set of headers, the code that
updates the libwww cache could crash.
- Bug fix: When doing a PUT of a resource, libwww modifies the cache
entry of the resrouce so that libwww can store the latest metadata and
version of the document. If the PUT resulted in a redirection, the cache
entry of the target was being updated, but not so that of the original
PUT. As a result, we could sometimes be seeing an old version of a
document after doing a PUT and browsing another URL.
Building
- Change in Unix: By default Amaya is built with provided libraries
libpng and libjpeg. The option --without-graphic-libs lets you use
pre-installed libraries. In previous releases, the building always used
the local jpeg and png include files. It doesn't do so now when the
--without-graphic-libs option is set.
- Libpng and Zlib were upgraded to the latest versions (1.0.9 and 1.1.3,
respectively).
- Bug fix in Windows: In previous releases building files didn't allow
one to build Amaya in release mode.
- Notations: As all major C compilers are now ANSI C compatible, the
double signature of functions is abandoned. Only the ANSI C convention is
used now.
22 Dezember, 2000
behobene Fehler
- The Docttype was not generated for HTML documents after creation of a
new HTML element.
- Doing a transformation on an HTML document crashed Amaya without saving
the edited document.
21 Dezember, 2000
Neue Funktionen
- Amaya is now able to read and save UTF8 documents but it's only able to
display ASCII and ISO-latin-1 characters and some mathematical symbols.
For other characters it keeps the Unicode value of the character and
displays a '?'. When an encoding is not supported by Amaya, the document
is not parsed.
- MathML: attributes
rowalign and columnalign
are interpreted.
- MathML 2.0: new attributes
mathvariant,
mathsize, mathcolor,
mathbackground, linebreak
- Annotations: new configuration options for disabling the automatic
download of local and remote annotations each time Amaya is started for
users who frequently work without network access. Note that this new
option is enabled by default; users who prefer the previous behavior of
always querying annotation servers can select that behavior from the
Annotations/Configure... dialog by unchecking the 'Disable remote
autoload at each startup' and checking the two 'Autoload' boxes.
behobene Fehler
- Annotations: Annotations didn't work under Windows, when Amaya was
installed in a directory with a space on its name (e.g., Program Files).
Similarly, annotations on local documents didn't work if the path to this
document had a space.
- After doing a form POST, Amaya always proposed to save the answer sent
back by the server, even if it could understand its content type (bug
introduced in the 4.0 version).
- Since version 4.1, it's possible to change the user preferences
directory by setting the APP_HOME variable in the win-thot.rc file.
However, the user preferences were still being read from the default
location.
- After a crash, modified documents with a space in their name were not
restored.
- When Amaya crashed during a text insertion, the last inserted text was
lost.
- Configure failed to read the version numbers in /usr/include/libjpeg.h
and /usr/include/png.h (thanks to Patrik Hagglund).
- Updating of German and Italian translations.
- Contribution from Johannes Zellner for enabling tear-off menus on Unix
platforms.
- The command Save As added the suffix
".html" to SVG and MathML documents.
- Amaya was sometimes confusing MathML and SVG elements: Schema ids were
based on the compiling time (in seconds) and Amaya used ids to detect
whether two elements belong to the same schema or not. That method
doesn't work with computers that are able to compile more than one schema
per second. Now, Amaya checks schema names instead of schema ids.
- Selection: When the hyphanation was active the selection didn't work
correctly.
- Print: The command Print crashed when the document included XLink
attributes.
- Print: In some cases Amaya hanged during the printing or generated too
short pages.
- Windows: The dialogue Underline didn't work correctly.
- Windows: Improving drawing functions and a part of the program
print.
- SVG: CSS rules of the SVG element
style were not
interpreted when printing.
- SVG: Images can be created and edited freely within an SVG drawing
- SVG: When changing the xlink:href attribute of elements image and use
in SVG, those elements are redisplayed according to the new value of the
attribute.
- SVG: When the user created a mathematical expression into a SVG, the
math element was displayed before the user selected a position. This was
confusing.
- HTML: Amaya hanged when the META Content-Type was quoted by simple
quotes.
23 November, 2000
Neue Funktionen
- Annotations: localization of the Local Filter menu.
- Windows: It's now possible to change the value of the user's
preferences directory. To do so, edit the win-thot.rc and add a variable
called APP_HOME in the [amaya] section. The value of this variable should
be the path to directory. This is interesting if you want to install
Amaya in an NFS drive, but store the user's preferences locally.
- When the encoding of a XML document is not set, it uses the default
enconding (UTF 8). This version of Amaya doesn't handle UTF 8 and this
document shouldn't be edited with Amaya. In many cases these documents
contain only ASCII characters and can be interperted correctly as
ISOlatin-1encoded documents. It is why Amaya proposes to set the
ISOlatin-1encoding when it's not found.
behobene Fehler
- Open the Log file and close it. Then open the source view and close it:
all other wiews of that document are also closed
- The entry "Show parsing errors" (previously
"Show Log file") is now located in the Views menu
- Amaya didn't find out the encoding when it is given by a META element.
It works now.
- When saving a HTML document as XML a wrong DOCTYPE was generated: it
said the document was HTML 4.0 whereas it was XHTML 1.0 actually.
- In a XHTML document, if you copy and paste an anchor with both a name
and an id, the name of the pasted element was changed to make it unique,
but not the id.
- The MakeBook command didn't work well on remote documents that included
images and could crash Amaya.
- The default Windows geometry was too small for some views and
documents.
- Spell checker: some options didn't reflect the current value. The
special characters entry wasn't working under Windows.
- MathML: entity LeftAngleBracket was not recognized by the parser
- MathML: the entity InvisibleTimes was displayed with a too large space
on Windows platforms.
- SVG: element style is now recognized and the CSS rules it contains are
applied as expected.
- SVG: element use is recognized and handled correctly
- SVG: comments and PIs were not displayed correctly in the structure
view
- SVG: text elements were displayed a bit below their normal position
- SVG: in some cases polylines and polygons were resized by mistake
- SVG: when printing the background of the whole SVG or group was painted
if there was a CSS rule
fill
- SVG: elements are now created with the right default colors
(fill=black, stroke=none).
- Annotations: the Annotation element (pencil icon) wasn't being skipped
always when resolving an XPointer. This problem could occur with orphan
and document annotations.
- Annotations: ID attributes were not always being searched correctly in
the document's tree.
- Annotations: The Windows annotations project was missing from the
source tar package.

Neue Funktionen
behobene Fehler
- When the selected OPTION in a SELECT within a FORM had no content and
no value attribute, the value posted for the SELECT element was some
random garbage.
- Amaya hung when reading a textarea with an initial value.
- When converting a document from HTML to XHTML, Amaya did not check
whether the id's it created were valid. For instance, it generated id's
starting with a digit.
- The charset given in the XML declaration was ignored by Amaya.
- 24 bits per pixel images were not handled correctly on Unix platforms
(thanks to Walter Bächi)
- Saving a document source crashed Amaya when it followed an aborted
closing of that document source.
- When the BODY element of an (X)HTML document is selected, command
Delete is no longer refused: it let you with an empty BODY element.
- When a background image is not repeated, Amaya takes into account the
transparency now (Unix and Windows platforms).
- After a synchronisation Amaya considered that both the source view and
the formatted view should be saved. Now the user can decide to save
either the source or the formatted view but only one of them.
- The text editing is now more robust.
- When browsing a remote URL, Amaya systematically added a "/" end
character to the URL if the URL didn't finish by an extension.
- It was hard to create an area Polygon because the selection hid the
associated image.
- When a paragraph with a top margin was reformatted, included lines
(excepted the last one) were shifted by error.
- In the Structure view, an anchor repeated the attribute ID of its
parent.
- Opening an image that didn' have an extension resulted in a crash.
Windows bugs
- The menu Background Image on Windows platforms crashed Amaya.
- On Windows platforms, sometimes Amaya didn't display background images
correctly.
- Some colors (like border colors) were not correctly displayed on
Windows platforms.
- Each time the user clicked on the button Math, a new Math palette was
generated, now only one palette is displayed.
- It was the same for the dialogue Search/Replace.
- When all entries of a submenu were hidden in the current profile, the
submenu entry was not removed. Now it works like on Unix platforms.
- Troubles after a cancel of the operation "Close Dcument".
11 July, 2000
Fixed bugs
Usability
- Amaya used the positon and dimension of the view Structure for the view
Source. Now they are independent.
- The window used for displaying the log file was too small and didn't
disappear when the original document was closed.
- Amaya crashed under Unix, when using the Copy Image
option of the Save As menu.
Windows
- There was a confusion between the menu Link and the
menu Change title on Windows platforms.
- When the document was coded in XHTML, the SaveAs on Windows platforms
proposed to save by default in HTML instead of XHTML.
- The socket shutdown wasn't always being detected correctly
underWindows. This caused problems when publishing thru a Squid
proxy.
- There was a memory leak when saving a document thru the net (HTTP PUT)
on Windows platforms.
MathML
- Command Link to previous target did not work when the
current selection was within a MathML expression (XLink)
- Sometimes, when loading a document, some strange grey rectangles were
displayed in MathML tables. They are not displayed any more
4 July, 2000
Neue Funktionen
- Lines are numbered only in source files.
- Amaya/Windows dialogue resources are neutral and can take into account
the external Amaya dialogue files. The Italian and German versions are
now complete.
- The function ApplyClass lets the user apply an attribute class to
several elements in his document either by clicking the button Apply or
by selecting a class name in the selector.
- The selection is now displayed by repainting the document with the
selection background instead of a video inversion. The user can now
control the selection color in the menu Special/Preferences/Colors.
All CSS color notations (CSSnames, RGB(R, G, B), #RRGGBB, #RGB) are
allowed.
- It's now possible to print in different formats: A4/US, portrait/
landscape on both Unix and Windows platforms. The specific and generic
CSS rule "page-break-before: always" is now interpreted by Amaya.
- The
Special/Preferences/Window Geometry menuwill
saves the complete geometry (x, y, width, length) of the open
windows.
- There's a first support for FTP URLs, but it still needs more work
(authentication info isn't being saved all the time, sometimes, pushing
the Stop button may crash Amaya or even quitting Amaya after following an
FTP URL, ...). Albeit these bugs, we propose it in this version so that
other people can contribute to make it work better. The
Help/Configure page gives more info on how to activate
it.
- Under Windows, we redesigned the use of the color palette in the
Special/Preferences/Colorsmenu.
- Upgrated to the latest libwww version (3.0.0pre). This version fixes
many bugs related to timeouts and broken connections and some memory
leaks.
CSS
- Margins, borders, and paddings for inline elements are rendered.
MathML
- More attributes are implemented: lspace, rspace, subscriptshift,
superscriptshift, scriptlevel, form, width (mspace only), height (mspace
only), depth (mspace only).
XLink
- Simple links from the XLink specification can be used to set hypertext
links between XML elements, such as parts of MathML expressions. From the
user interface viewpoint, there is no difference between those links and
the usual HTML links that relate anchors (
A elements).
Fixed bugs
- When the binary was reached through a link "
../xxx" Amaya
crashed
- When creating a new table with attribute border=1, the table was
created without any border
- By default the spell checker now ignores words that are all caps and
words containing numbers or special characters.
- When the commands TtcInsertChar and TtcPaste removed a current
selection two different undo operations were registered. Now only one is
registered and a simple undo is necessary.
- When a structured element was selected, Amaya generated a weird
inserting point. That affected the commands TtcInsertChar, TtcPaste, and
moving left and right.
- When the Backspace deleted the last paragraph of the document, the new
selection was misplaced.
- Amaya refused to remove the selected empty paragraph with the command
TtcDeletePreviousChar (Backspace).
- When text was inserted in the formatted view then the user deleted the
whole contents of that element in the structure view, Amaya crashed.
- After editing an attribute in the structure view or the link view the
selection was lost, so any arrow key moved the selection to the top of
the window.
- It was impossible to insert a TAB.
- Improvement of the configure, makefile and install.
- Characters in the second half of the Symbol character set were
corrupted at saving time.
- Some transformations crashed Amaya or caused an infinite loop.
- Some extra spaces or line breaks were added sometimes within attribute
values when saving a document.
- Amaya crashed when it tried to restart from the backup and an
authentication was needed for accessing included images.
- The command Make book didn't load imported images.
- The libwww Makefile was missing an include to the zlib directory.
- Sometimes the index associated with the source view selection was
displayed at the top of the formatted view.
Windows
- The dialogue box for inserting images didn't work.
- Amaya pages were always designed for A4 printers.
- It was impossible to change the attribute type of list items.
MathML
- Elements such as <mo>(</mo> in a mrow were recognized as
stretchy fences only when they were a first or last child of the mrow
element.
- Symbols ‾ and _ were not stretched when
appearing in mover, munder or munderover.
CSS
- When the attribute Style of the element BODY was deleted, the delete
was not reflected on the display.
- When the user selected the menu entry Style/Create
rule... for changing a specific CSS rule into a generic CSS
rule, Amaya could omit to transmit some CSS properties.
- In some cases the property border was not reflected as soon as the
attribute was created.
- Amaya didn't interpret correctly negative margins.
19 April, 2000
Neue Funktionen
- MathML: attributes
lquote and rquote on
element ms are now taken into account in the formatted

- Lines are numbered in all text and source files.
- It's now possible to completely create a link from the keyboard: Ctrl
Shift L creates the link element then pressing any key pops up the input
dialogue form which can be filled immediately.
- The paste command replaces the current selected text with the contents
of the paste buffer or inserts it at the current position. Previously it
never removed the current selection.
- The "
Check spelling" can be now applied to text files and
source views.
- The command "
Section numbering" is now available for HTML
documents in Read-Only mode.
Fixed bugs
- Amaya hung up when a background image was unreachable.
- Amaya defined its own key encoding for supporting a multi-key input
method. On Unix platforms, it now follows the standard xmodmap encoding
and provides a multi-key support too:
When the user enables "Multi-key" in Special/Preferences/General s/he
can generate letters with diacritics by a two key sequence, the "accent"
followed by the "letter".
When "Multi-key" is disabled in Special/Preferences/General, but the
system provides a Compose key, letters with diacritics can also be
entered by the standard three sequence "Compose" followed, either by the
"letter" then the "accent", or by the "accent" then the "letter".
The benefit is that the NumLock key doesn't disturb Amaya any more.
Unfortunately, the multi-key input method don't work in Motif
dialogues. Although the requested callback is defined, it seems it's not
called 99% of the time (any help is welcome here).
- The Math/Greek palette inserted latin characters instead of
mathematical symbols or greek letters.
- Amaya didn't displayed MathML tables correctly.
- Some characters such as thorn and yuml disappeared when downloading a
file or pasting some text from the clipboard.
- Amaya crashed when a large number of text elements were copied into the
Xbuffer.
- A long invalid XML document crashed Amaya. Now it stops parsing at the
first error and displays an error message. The log file gives more
information.
- Margins, borders and padding set by a style attribute were ignored when
printing. They are now taken into account.
- The background color and the foreground color of tooltips could be
incompatible.
- When a simple click activates a link it worked even if the selection
point was outside the link box. Now it works when the selection is inside
the link box and it gives a simple selection in other cases.
- In some cases the Make book crashed.
- Amaya didn't manage SRC attributes: & were translated into
&. It's fixed now.

Neue Funktionen
- CSS
- Support of more CSS properties:
margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, margin-left,
margin,
padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, padding-left,
padding,
border-top-width, border-right-width, border-bottom-width,
border-left-width, border-width,
border-top-color, border-right-color, border-bottom-color,
border-left-color, border-color,
border-top-style, border-right-style, border-bottom-style,
border-left-style, border-style,
border-top, border-right, border-bottom, border-left,
border.
- The user style sheet specified in User preferences is now taken
into account when documents are printed. Users are encouraged to
create two sections in their personal style sheet::
@media screen {...}
@media print {...}
- The
media attribute attached to a link to a style
sheet is now interpreted.
- MathML
- New MathML 2.0 elements implemented:
menclose,
mchar, mglyph, mlabeledtr
- New MathML 2.0 attributes implemented:
xref,
numalign, denomalign, beveled,
columnwidth, side,
minlabelspacing
- When the user creates or modifies an expression, the MathML editor
recognizes function names and generates separate
mi
elements for them.
- 4 new commands have been added to menu Types/Math: Plain text
(mtext), Identifier (mi), Number (mn), Operator (mo). These commands
allow the user to change the type of basic elements. Command "Plain
text" can also be used to create character strings (mtext) that are
not changed or interpreted by the editor.
- A new command in the Types/Math menu allows you to insert entities
in MathML expressions.
- Buttons E (Emphasis) and S (Strong) work
on math expressions. They put an attribute
fontstyle or
fontweight on elements mi, mn,
mo, mtext, etc. contained in the current
selection.
- User Interface/Editing
- Amaya analizes all suffixes of the document name to detect if it's
a HTML document or not. So documents like "name.html.$LANG" can be
now edited as HTML documents.
- As the document title is displayed on the top of the window, the
corresponding editing field is suppressed. The user can use the
dialogue entry Types/Change Title or the structure view to change it.
The user can now define a shortcut for this corresponding function
"ChangeTitle ()".
- Libwww
- Upgraded to the latest version (5.2.9) out from CVS.
Fixed bugs
- CSS
- Amaya didn't remove background colors correctly.
- When generating CSS rules with Style->Create_rule, element and
attribute names were printed in uppercase.
- When a link to a CSS style sheet was pasted, that style sheet
wasn't applied.
- Error in the CSS parser: parsing stopped at the first colon in an
@media section.
- Amaya failed to create new style rules when existing style rules
were emmbedded in a comment within the style element.
- Amaya crashed when a style element was created by the command
Structure->style.
- LibWWW
- In some cases, the HTTP Accept header had an extra ":" char.
- In the Message Digest Authentication algorithm, the digest was
being made using the absolute-uri, rather than the request-uri.
- Supressed the HTTP/0.9 downgrade code as it generated more problems
that what it was supposed to fix.
- The cache didn't work well when it had to do an HTTP Range request.
This was notorious when publishing a document as the previous cached
document wasn't updated. The code now works as intended.
- Changed the Amaya libwww interface so that it minizes the error
messages where it just says "Error code: -1".
- Fixed some minor memory leaks.
- Changed the Amaya interface so that we can read the HTTP charset
value easily.
- Memory could be corrupted when saving to a non-existent server.
- MathML
- A strange attribute named EntityName was proposed in the Attribute
menu.
- Odd things happened when an attribute "other" was associated with a
character string.
- It was impossible to move the cursor to some positions within a
mathematical expression.
- The editor generated unneeded
mrow elements in some
cases (for instance within a mtd or a
msqrt).
- Character references representing code points > 255 were simply
ignored. They are now kept and saved in their original form. When the
corresponding glyph is available in the Symbol font, this glyph is
displayed, otherwise a question mark is displayed.
- When setting the lang attribute on an element containing a
mathematical expression some math symbols were changed to strange
characters.
- Tables
- Attributes
cellspacing and cellpadding
are now interpreted correctly.
- Attribute align associated with element caption screwed up the
Structure view.
- The table formatting has been improved.
- Deleting a cell including a table crashed Amaya.
- The HTML parser accepted a
height attribute associated
with a table element, which is illegal, and screwed up
the layout. This attribute is now flagged as erroneous.
- User Interface
- When more than 2 links were needed to get the actual executable
amaya reported something like: System wide unix-thot.rc not
found.
- Amaya tried to auto-scroll the formatted view when the user worked
on the structure view.
- "Make Book" didn't work correctly when referred chapters are stored
in different directories.
- The Edit/Find command crashed after several unsuccessful
searches.
- The Edit/Check spelling/Skip (+add Dic) command crashed when it
tried to allocate more memory for the user dictionary (e.g., after
adding some 50 words).
- Some entities (œ for instance) were converted into some
fallback ISO Latin-1 characters (oe for instance) for display (which
is nice), but were saved under that form in the output file. Now the
original entity is saved.
- The source view of an XHTML document was displayed as HTML 4.0 when
the document was modified before opeining the source view.
- Entries Synchronize and Save in menu File were not enabled/disabled
correctly, in accordance with the current document state.
- FORM names and values bigger than 512K were being trunked. There's
no such limit anymore.
- Copying and pasting a URL into the address or open file dialogues
didn't work if this URL had newline (carry return) characters
- Editing
- When the caret was at the beginning (resp. end) of an element, key
BackSpace (resp. Del) merged elements in some cases instead of
deleting the previous (resp. next) character.
- The Paste command was not disabled in Help documents.
- Amaya allowed the creation of a target anchor within a link.
- It was impossible to copy the contents of a document in Read-Only
mode.
- When inserting a character from the Greek palette into a latin
character string, characters following the new character were
transformed into greek.
- Editing an attribute in a view crashed Amaya in some cases.
- When pasting some text from another application, line breaks are
kept only if the the target element is a PRE, a STYLE or a
SCRIPT.
- Specific Windows bugs
- Control Return didn't work.
- Save as Dialog transforms '/' into '\' while saving on a remote
server and if the output file format is modified.
- Amaya didn't remove contexts and files attached to the last closed
document.
- Printing from the Print Button sometimes crashed Amaya.
- Makefile
- cextract (for making function prototypes) didn't work if the system
didn't have a
cpp tool named "cpp".
17 Dezember, 1999
Compatibility changes
- If you had defined your own profiles and/or shortcuts in your amaya
user directory, the function TtcCloseDocument must be replaced by
CloseDocument.
Neue Funktionen
- HTML:
- As many search engines generate invalid forms, such forms are now
supported.
- HTML and XHTML files are saved in ISO-Latin-1 (a single character
is generated instead of the string é for instance). When
saving a document, a META element is added in the document HEAD to
specify Content-Type and Charset.
- Support of the latest version of XHTML 1.0 (10 December, 1999)
- MathML:
- When saving entities Amaya keeps the names that were read at
downloading. As an example, ⁢ is no longer replaced by
⁢
- You can enter large symbols (parentheses, integrals, arrows, etc.)
directly from the keyboard or from the Greek palette.
- CSS:
- More complex CSS selectors are supported, including several
ancestor elements as well as an attribute from an ancestor.
- User Interface:
- The content of the TITLE element is displayed as the window title
instead of the filename.
- Amaya provides now an horizontal scroll bar when the document
includes images or tables larger then the current window size.
- Shortcuts Control Up, Control Down, Control Left, Control Right
smoothly scroll the document in the four directions.
- When a document has been read as XHTML, it is saved by default as
XHTML.
- When some text is pasted from another application line breaks are
kept in the HTML document.
- Performances
- Large documents are handled more efficiently.
- libwww:
- It's now possible to say that the proxy should ONLY be used with a
given list of domains.
- You can now declare the proxy using just the server's name and it's
optional port (no need to prefix it with the http:// string as
before)
- Improved the Accept: string for doing image and css content
negotiation.
- Internationalization:
- There is now an Italian version of Amaya. Many thanks to Roberto
Bagnara.
- Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish dictionaries are now
available for the Amaya spell-checker. We are not able to evaluate
the quality of these dictionaries, but we hope they can help.
Comments welcome.
- Building Amaya:
- There are new make files for the Windows platforms.
- GTK:
- You can now build a GTK version of Amaya. In this version GTK
replaces Motif. Implementation is not complete yet and contributions
are welcome. This version is currently only able to display document
views and many user actions are disabled. See Autoconf.html for more
info on how to build this version.
Fixed bugs
- Many memory leaks and resource leaks are fixed in the Windows
version.
- User Interface:
- when Backspace deleted a string, the final position of the cursor
was wrong.
- the Delete command on an empty paragraph didn't do anything. So it
was impossible to merge two paragraphs with the Delete command.
- when the selection was moved down with the arrow key, it was
shifted one position to the right and the cursor was stuck on HR
elements.
- on Windows platforms each Return inserted two empty paragraphs
instead of one.
- the Windows kill command ([X]) closed the document window before
proposing to save a modified document. So Cancel was ineffective.
- some Amaya crashes are fixed now.
- the history associated to the Forward and Back buttons sometimes
was corrupted.
- added more explicit messages related to the failure of PUT
operation.
- the authentication dialogue now displays the authentication and
server realm (both data were previously displayed in the status
field).
- After a Synchronization or a Save from the Source view images were
lost in the formatted view.
- HTML:
- Element
<input type=image> was not well
supported.
- Cache:
- Spaces in the cache directory path were being ignored.
16 Dezember, 1999
Non-announced pre-release version.
26 Oktober, 1999
Neue Funktionen
- CSS:
- Amaya is now able to print with CSS. By default Amaya takes into
account style sheets when printing. The entry "Ignore style sheets"
allows one to print documents like in previous Amaya version.
- For a better mapping with CSS, language P has been extended. Style
and Weight are now two separate properties. This allows Amaya to
handle the corresponding CSS properties (font-style, font-weight)
independently and to display text both italic and bold.
- A Source view is now available from the Views menu. When you select in
the main view, an index points at the corresponding markup in the source
view and conversely. You can edit the source code. Every time you save
the source code or you activate the Synchronize entry of the Files menu,
the other views are updated to reflect the latest changes.
- Four different Amaya profiles are proposed: editor, mini-editor,
browser, mini-browser. Amaya menus and buttons are displayed according to
the current profile.
- User Interface:
- The backspace deletes the current selection when that selection is
not empty and delete the previous character in other cases.
- If there is no selection in the document which receives the current
focus and the user hits any arrow key, a selection is automatically
generated at the window top.
- A new option in the Preferences/Publishing menu allows to declare a
set of domains where a PUT may be redirected, and thus avoid having a
popup asking a user to confirm each redirection.
- It's now possible to define a shortcut to follow a link or activate
a form element (menu, submit, reset): the name of the function is
DoAction and the default shortcut is "Alt Return".
- A new command "Link previous target" allows one to create a link to
the latest created target. The default shortcut is "Ctrl Shif L".
- A mechanism of templates allows you to experiment templates provided by
the W3C server or to install your own template server. To use the sample
W3C template server, open the Special/Preferences/Templates menu and type
in the following URL: http://cgi.w3.org/cgi-bin/createform.pl. Quit Amaya
and there'll be a new option in the File/New submenu: From template.
Fixed bugs
- User Interface:
- It was impossible to cancel the creation of a link. Now the second
button in the creation popup is 'Cancel' instead of 'Done', and when
that button is pressed, the whole action is cancelled.
- Improvement of attribute menus.
- There was a confusion in the button bar.
- With an extended selection the right arrow and the bottom arrow
moved the selection relatively to the beginning of the selection
instead of the end.
- Empty Math boxes were not displayed on Windows platforms.
- The cancel button didn't always work in the Windows authentication
dialogue.
- CSS:
- When the color was invalid Amaya used the black. Now the CSS rule
is ignored.
- CSS comments within style elements were lost.
- The CSS parser didn't supported TABs in CSS style sheets or STYLE
elements.
- Amaya misinterpreded complex selectors.
- SGML entites and spaces weren't being handled correctly when saving a
document or when browsing a URL.
- Hexadecimal entity references were not recognized by the HTML and XML
parsers.
- Relative URLs beginning with a "../../ " path were being simplifed into
"../"
- When a Unix user launched Amaya with a not existing local file, Amaya
displayed a form to create a new document, but that form didn't work
well. If the user opened the document, the File menu was broken. If the
user cancelled the form the application wasn't closed.
- When printing, parentheses that are part of mathematical expressions
were misplaced on the page.
- Amaya could get stuck when creating an anchor.
- Some memory leaks in the Windows version are fixed. There was a memory
leak when the download of a distant image failed.
- Amaya could crash if you had a single document window with pending net
requests and you closed it.
- The replace string in the Search/Replace command could be lost.
- The root element HTML supports the attribute lang now.
Known bugs
- Opening the source view of an HTML document which doesn't have an
extension and which includes an image having the same name as that of the
document, may result in the opening of the image source, rather than that
of the document. Under Windows, this may happen even if the the document
and the image's names only differ in case.
- Amaya doesn't saves yet the current positions of Windows upon exiting.
This will be done in the next release.
24 Juni, 1999
Neue Funktionen
- User Interface:
- The Save item in menu File and the Save button are disabled when
the document does not need to be saved.
- Menu entries Quotation, Subscript, Superscript, and BDO can be set
or unset from the "Character element" menu.
- New colorful button bar
- New Home button
- Command File/New has been changed. It now proposes 3 possibilities:
- "New HTML document" displays a form to choose the location of
the document to be created before it displays a blank page.
- "From template" proposes a list of templates to be used for the
new document when you have a template server.
- "New CSS" displays a form to choose the style sheet location
first.
- Menu Special/Preferences contains a new item for language
negotiation.
- In addition to the color palette in the Special/Preferences/Colors
menu, the user may now type in directly the color code (the color
palette is only available under Windows).
- Thot API: Due to a conflict with the libjpeg definition the Thot type
boolean has been renamed ThotBool.
- MathML: the full presentation part of MathML is now supported, but not
all attributes are yet taken into account when formatting mathematical
expressions.
- LibWWW:
- Updated to version 5.2.9.
- The libwww is now compiled as a number of mini libraries instead of
big, monolithic one. We only compile those that are needed for Amaya,
thus reducing the compilation time and size of the Amaya
executable.
- The libwww cache entry wasn't being updated when saving a
previously cached document.
- Tagged the libwww CVS base with an "Amaya" tag, showing the
reference version currenly being used by the Amaya team.
- New list of Amaya shortcuts for both Windows and Unix platforms.
- User preferences:
- Changed the behavior of the user and temporary directories under
Windows.
- Stopped using the Windows registry to store state information.
- The directory where the user preferences are stored is now a fixed
one. The user may change the location of the temporary directory as
well as that of the cache. Users are advised to reselect their
preferences, rather copying their precedent thot.rc file. You may
copy your amaya.css, HTML.conf, keyboard.kb, and dictionary.DCT files
from your old Amaya home directory to its new location (open the
Special/Preferences/General Preferences menu to find where it is).
For more information, consult the Help/Configuring Amaya
document.
Fixed bugs
- Amaya was not able to use the shared library libjpeg.so.
- There were some memory leaks in the previous version.
- CSS parser:
- CSS comments were lost in the style element.
- The end of the style element was not detected when it included an
unclosed CSS comment.
- Amaya crashed when following a redirection to an invalid URL.
- Amaya could crash after a copy/paste of a mathematical formula from one
page to another.
- Sometimes the paste command mixed pasted elements and the cursor
jumped.
- It was impossible to set font-size to 20 in the preference menu.
- Amaya didn't take care to the Shift in the keyboard configuration
file.
- Improvement of Windows dialogues.
- The libwww cache entry wasn't being updated when saving a previously
cached document.
3 Mai, 1999
Extensions
- First implementation of a multi-document, multi-level Undo/Redo
command.
- WAI guidelines on Image and Maps.
- COLGROUP and COL elements are accepted and can be created within TABLE
elements. The rendering is not implemented yet, though.
- CSS properties "left-margin", "top-margin", and "display: none" are now
interpreted.
- Amaya is now able to load, edit, print and save CSS files and plain
text files.
- The entry "Style Sheets" in the menu Style allows one to
- link a CSS file using the standard Amaya paragdim: Click to select
the target or display a form allowing us to type the URI. The
corresponding LINK element is automatically created and CSS
properties are applied to the document.
- open a CSS file used in a document.
- open a CSS file used in a document.
- disable CSS properties of the CSS file.
- enable or re-apply CSS properties of the CSS file.
- remove a CSS link.
- After a "Make Book" the document is automatically switched to the
Read-Only mode. This will avoid the user to edit it or save it by
error.
- Publication thru the net now uses the HTTP/1.1 etags and conditional
headers to avoid the lost updates problem..
- The 409 HTTP error message (conflict) is now shown in a popup
window.
- Added DEFLATE content encoding support under Windows.
- First support of disconnected browsing mode thru the libwww cache.
- Command SaveAs allows you to save a document in XHTML, following the
specifications and guidelines of the latest XHTML draft.
- Adding new menu entries:
- Back and Forward: navigation commands
- Editor/Browser mode: setting Amaya mode (read only or
read/write)
- Amaya at W3C: link to the http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html
page from the Help menu.
- Implementing a new policy of colors allocation.
- First version of Preferences configuration menus.
- The Verfiy each PUT with a GET option is now turned off by default
- It's now possible to browse with a simple-click or a double-click. By
default Amaya uses the double-click, but it could be switched to
simple-click in the General preference menu.
- Using the Publishing preferencesmenu, it's now possible to choose the
default name for saving URLs that end in "/".
- New version of the Thot API:
- Changing of TtaAddButton and TtaChangeButton to merge Windows and
Unix dialogue API.
- New functions: TtaGiveNextElement, TtaGetFirstLeaf,
TtaGetLastLeaf
- A new Thot event: TteElemClick
- All user Amaya preferences and personal files are collected into a home
directory. By default this directory is $HOME/.amaya on Unix platforms
and C:\TEMP\amaya on Windows platforms. These files are:
- a personal amaya.css
- a personal amaya.keyboard (amaya.kb on Windows)
- a personal dictionary
- thot.rc personal preferences. This file is generated and updated
thru the Special/Preferences menu
- other temporary files and directories used by Amaya.
- After a paste command, the selection is now set at the end of the
pasted text where the user could continue to insert text.
- The Amaya CVS base is now available in read-only mode at
http://dev.w3.org/ The Root directory is now Amaya instead of Thot and
the libwww is no longer considered as a part of the Amaya code. The
source tar file includes the libwww code (libwww is a directory next to
Amaya) and one who acceedes the CVS base needs to get the libwww code
(cvs get libwww) to compile Amaya.
Fixed bugs
- Scripts can now be created within the document Body and are no longer
moved into the Head at parsing time.
- When creating a new polyline in an area map there was a bug which
generated wrong coords values on Windows platforms.
- Comments in files amaya.keyboard and amaya.kb are now allowed.
- When a document included the sequence
<form>..<table>..</form>..</table> Amaya closed
the table at the end of the form. Now it reports a parsing error on the
end tag </form> and avoids to split the table.
- Copying an image from a remote document to a local document didn't
work.
- When following a link which had a "?foo" ending, Amaya treated that
ending as a query string.
- Some attributes values appeared with strange names in the Attribute
menu.
- When the current position was in a sequence of empty blocks
(paragraphs, for instance), the Backspace key deleted two of these blocks
at once and did not select anything.
- When pasting a paragraph with an attribute at the beginning of a table
cell or list item, it was turned into a pseudo-paragraph, and produced
wrong HTML code when the document was saved.
- Amaya locked up when one applied the strong command to a text displayed
at the beginning of a line.
- CSS selectors like "PRE SPAN.test" didn't work.
- The CSS parser didn't parse well the rule url("...").
- SMALL elements could be displayed too small.
- <basefont face="...."> was saved as <basefont
facee="....">.
- When putting an attribute on a text string, the attribute was generated
as text in the HTML output. Now a SPAN element is generated to carry the
attribute. This bug occured with attributes title, dir, and most event
attributes (onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, etc.).
- Amaya crashed when loading an isolated image with a filename without a
suffix.
- People who compiled Amaya on Windows platforms couldn't display jpeg
images. The problem is fixed now.
- The authentication handlers were desactivated while doing a HEAD
pre-check during the lost update PUT procedure.
- While browsing an image, pressing the reload button didn't show the
image again.
- It wasn't possible to browse images when the request was redirected to
a URL having a different end name.
12 January 1999
Neue Funktionen:
- Update of the German dialogue files (voluntary work done by Erich
Koerting)
- On Unix platforms only, the variable DOUBLECLICKDELAY of the registry
$HOME/.thotrc allows one to control the delay (in millisecond) under
which two mouse clicks are classed as a double-click. The default value
is 500.
- OPTGROUP elements are accepted within SELECT elements. The
corresponding cascade menus are built by Amaya and the right string is
sent to the server when submitting a form that contains OPTGROUPs. An
item in the Types/Form menu allows the user to create OPTGROUP elements
or to wrap OPTION elements into an OPTGROUP element.
- Elements FIELDSET and LEGEND from HTML 4.0 are implemented.
- Event attributes like onmousedown, onmousemove, etc. are listed in a
sub-menu of the Attributes menu (Events sub-menu).
- When creating a Table, Amaya asks the user about the number of rows and
columns s/he wants. When a new cell is created, the corresponding column
is generated at the same position.
- When target icons were introduced, it was no longer possible to click
the target element (an element with an ID attribute or an anchor with a
NAME) to set a link. This possibility is available now.
- When reloading a document, the fresh document is shown in the formatted
window at the position the previous version was shown.
- When saving a document in XML, Amaya follows the Voyager guidelines
(http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html-in-xml)
- When printing a document, you can decide whether the document URL is
printed at the top of each page or not.
- A new field in the dialogue form used to insert images allows the user
to enter an ALT attribute. This attribute is mandatory.
- libwww has been upgraded to version 5.2. This version of libwww
supports HTTP/1.1, rev. 05
- A first implementation of the message digest authentication protocol,
as defined in <draft-ietf-http-authentication-03>. The code is
interoperable with the current (which is an old) implementation of this
protocol inside Apache/1.3.
- When Amaya detects errors in a loaded document, it generates a log file
which can be displayed by the entry "Show log file" in the menu
"Special".
- Thot compilers (str, prs, tra and app) are available on Windows
platforms, so it's now possible to develop Amaya on these platforms.
- When an URI points at a single image, Amaya can display this image in a
document window.
- Each Amaya window can be switched from Read-Only (Browser) to
Read-Write (Editor) mode, and vice versa.
- A FAQ is available at http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/FAQ.html
Fixed bugs:
- There was a memory leak when following an internal link pointing to an
inexistent anchor.
- Links which point to non-existent documents or invalid URLs are now
left in the "active" state, instead of being set to the "visited"
state.
- Browsing an image from an edited document (and thus requiring the
opening of a new document window), didn't show the image.
- When one created a table while the current selection pointed to an
empty paragraph, Amaya tried to replace the empty paragraph by the table,
but there was a bug which corrupted the Amaya internal structure.
- In the menu associated with a <SELECT multiple> element it's now
possible to deselect selected OPTIONs
- Table formatting: - Amaya wasn't able to find the correct cell width
when the contents of this cell was centered or when a cell included
complex structures. - When a table of a given width included constrained
and unconstrained cells the result was sometimes incorrect. - When a
table with vertical spans was resized, row heights were not updated.
- Amaya constrained the structure and reordered some elements in the
HEAD: Meta, Script, Link, Style.
- Command Apply Class did not work always, especially when the current
selection was crossing elements at different levels.
- Relative URIs for background images were always interpreted according
to the document URI, even when it was relative to a stylesheet.
- A background image in no-repeat mode was sometimes repeated
erroneously.
- Amaya tended to raise windows too often.
- Moving the cursor accross tables and BR elements didn't work
correctly.
- When a character '&' appeared in an ALT attribute (and in some
other attributes), it was saved as is in the HTML file. It's now saved as
'&'
- The use of autoconf has been improved to make the Amaya building easier
(suggestions from Sam and Adam).

- Whenever there's an authentication failure, Amaya will ask the user if
he wants to retry or abandon the operation.
- It's now possible to configure different network related timeouts thru
the registry file
- Amaya now uses the DEFLATE transfer encoding in the HTTP headers
- It's now possible to double-click within Windows selectors (Open
Document, Spell-checker, etc.)
Fixed bugs 1.3b:
- Amaya generated line breaks into script and style elements. That has
been fixed now.
- Sometimes the Backward and/or Forward buttons didn't work fine if you
had successively loaded local and HTTP documents. Now it works.
- There was still a bug in vertical table formatting.
- While saving a remote document which was just edited, Amaya reported a
failure of the operation, even if it was a success
- When Amaya save a document locally, the user can now give a relative
path or the "~/xxx" path for images but the corresponding directory need
to be created before.
- While browsing a protected site, Amaya could prompt the user many times
for its password (bug inside the new libwww)
- When a paragraph was right aligned and updated, the current line could
be not redisplayed correctly.
- When changing the type of an existing element (for instance changing a
H2 into a Paragraph), the following elements (H2 elements in that case)
were not renumbered correctly.
- The Windows version couldn't print the help page of Math.
- When MULTI_KEY is active the input method has been modified to support
the ó character.
September 25, 1998
Neue Funktionen:
- Amaya tries to save modified documents when it crashes. Then, the next
Amaya session proposes to reload theses documents when it starts.
- Target anchors are no longer displayed in green. All elements which can
be used as a target for a link show a target icon. These icons are always
visible in the "Links" view. In the "Formatted view", the user has to ask
Amaya to show them. An entry "Show targets" in the "Views" menu
alternatively shows or hides target icons in the "Formatted view". When
the user wants to create a link to a specific element, s/he must click on
the corresponding target icon.
- New version of the jpeg library (except for the Windows version).
- Amaya uses the latest version of libwww. This version provides Amaya
with an up-to-date implementation of HTTP/1.1 including pipelining and
caching
- Amaya can save documents in XML. Command Save As proposes 3 output
formats: HTML, XML, Plain text. When a document is saved in XML, the
usual HTML structure is used, but it is written in the XML language.
- Conversely, Amaya can read HTML documents written in XML. These
documents can then be edited and saved in HTML, XML or plain text.
- When saving a document in XML, namespaces are used if the document
contains XML elements such as mathematical expressions in MathML or 2D
vector graphics.
- The following HTML 4.0 elements are available: NOSCRIPT, LABEL,
BUTTON.
- Some support is provided for frames: the parser recognizes tags
FRAMESET, FRAME, and NOFRAMES as well as their attributes and Amaya
displays them as if they were links. You can double click them to fetch
the corresponding page.
- The following HTML 4.0 attributes are available: onload, onunload,
charset, hreflang, target, accesskey, tabindex, onfocus, onblur, media,
longdesc, declare, archive, standby, valuetype, object, onsubmit,
onreset, accept-charset, disabled, readonly, onselect, onchange, accept,
label, char, charoff, summary, frame, rules, datapagesize, abbr, axis,
headers, scope, profile, scheme, language, defer, event, for
- All HTML 4.0 character entities are accepted by the HTML parser and are
generated when saving HTML files.
- You can create STYLE and SCRIPT elements with the Structure menu in the
Structure_view.
- You can edit the content of elements STYLE and SCRIPT in the
Structure_view.
- Characters that are not available on the keyboard can be entered by key
sequences. For instance, e acute is entered by pressing key ' and then
key e. This multi-key support is now available on Windows platforms. On
Unix and Windows it is optional and needs to be requested by setting
"ENABLE_MULTIKEY=YES" in the registry file ($HOME/.thotrc for Unix
platforms or Amaya/config/thot.rc for Windows platforms).
- Amaya fixes nested lists generated by Mozilla: when a OL or UL is a
child of another OL or UL, the former is considered by the Amaya parser
as a child of its previous LI sibling. According to the HTML DTD, the
only allowed children for a UL or OL are LIs.
Fixed bugs 1.3a:
- Improvement of the auto-scroll on dragging and availability on Windows
version.
- Improvement of the printing of tables: when a table was split by a page
break, the page header and the page footer were overlapped by some table
elements.
- To be consistent with other editors, the management of the Backspace is
modified. With a non-empty selection the Backspace deletes the current
selection but not the previous character.
- Improvement of CSS parsing. Style commands (format, colors, etc.) are
also improved.
- Sometimes it was impossible to copy/paste from Amaya to another
application.
- Improvement of form handling:
- Password fields in forms showed the text which is being typed
in.
- Some special characters in the query string were not being
correctly escaped.
- There was a limitation on the size of the query string.
- It wasn't possible to type a CR in the textarea zone
- When the user filled a form, Amaya considered that the document had
been modified, as if one were in an edition mode, rather than in a
browsing one
- The default color of ReadOnly documents is now black.
- Bullets in UL elements didn't grow with the UL size.
- When saving a document, the document status was set unmodified even if
the operation failed. "Save As" could change attributes URL and SRC. If
the saving failed old values were lost. Now Amaya restores the previous
document state.
- Improvement of the vertical table formatting.
- Broken connection pipes weren't taken into account under AIX
Known bugs:
- By integrating the newest libwww, we got a very good implementation of
HTTP/1.1. However, this version of the library can be fragile when
contacting badly implemented HTTP/1.0 servers. For example, servers that
don't send the correct headers or which don't understand the 1.1 protocol
version in the request.
- Pushing the stop button in any document window closes all the open
connections in all the document windows.
- Entities in URLs should be converted before being sent to the
server.
July 10, 1998
Neue Funktionen:
- Print on Windows is now available.
- "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" functions are now available.
- Amaya uses the standard clipboard. On Windows versions Copy/Paste takes
the standard clipboard into account. On Unix versions, Copy form clip
board and Paste form Clipboard are attached to the usual mouse buttons
(Left and Middle). Consequently, selection extension is now performed by
the Shift + Left button of the mouse.
- The drag now generates an auto-scroll (not available on Windows).
- There is a new input method for Iso-Latin-1 characters. According to
the following table one can obtain a 'ã' by first pressing '~' then
typing 'a'. To obtain a simple '~' you have to press '~' twice.

spanned rows.
- The install is now minimum: only amaya and print are installed.
- When accesing a protected site, an authentication dialogue appeared for
each URL
- When reloading a page, Amaya wasn't sending any No-Cache headers
März 27, 1998
New: When Amaya crashes on Unix platforms, modified
documents are now automatically saved in temporary files
$HOME/.amaya/%name.html.
- Sometimes when creating a link Amaya crashed.
- Amaya could also crashed if the user edited a page when Amaya was
downloading a new one.
- Back button didn't work sometimes when aborting the reload of a
document.
- Couldn't follow local relative links when they specified the name of
the document.

associated image was resized and Amaya didn't redisplay correctly an
image when width and/or height attributes were deleted.
- Error in area map parsing.
- Amaya didn't manage background images like other image in documents.
Now Amaya is able to compute their relative URLs and save them.
- During parsing, when anchors were not properly closed Amaya repeated
them.
- Hitting the Enter key several times at the end (or beginning) of a
table created a new, empty table. It now creates an empty element after
(or before) the table.
- Hitting the Enter key when a HR is selected created an additional HR.
It now creates an empty element after the selected HR
- Amaya was stuck in an infinite loop when a BR was deleted by
BackSpace.
- Document was not set modified when a link was changed or a span was
created and modifications could be lost.
- When opening the CSS Dialog window my .amaya.css file was not
automatically opened and loaded. Windows users can now define a User's
Preferences file:
Amaya/amaya/amaya.css.
- When clicking on remove icon in CSS Dialog Amaya crashed.
- After modifying CSS the Save button popped up an infinite number of
save windows.
- There were memory leaks in windows version.
It's now possible to launch Amaya in German. Other European languages

July 10 and September 15, 1997
Extensions
- Anchors and ID attributes:
- When Amaya parses a document it checks that all MAPs have a
different NAME, and it changes duplicate NAMEs. The USEMAP attribute
of the related IMG element is updated accordingly.
- The function "Create Target" generates an attribute NAME or ID
depending on the current selection. - If the DTD allows the insertion
of an anchor as the parent of the current selection, Amaya creats an
anchor and takes the first included word of more than 3 characters as
the value of the NAME attribute. - If a single structured element is
selected (DIV, H1, etc.), Amaya generates an ID attribute for this
structured element. The ID value is generated, like the NAME value,
after the included text. Amaya checks that the new NAME or ID value
is unique. If it's not the case it changes the value by adding a
number at the end of the word. For example, it generates "value1" if
"value" already exists in the document.
- When an anchor with a NAME attribute or an element with an ID
attribute is pasted, Amaya checks that the new NAME or ID value is
unique and changes it if it's not unique.
- Functions which create a MAP element generates automatically a NAME
with value "map". Amaya checks that the new NAME value is unique.
- When an IMG with a USEMAP attribute is pasted, Amaya remove this
attribute, and when an IMG with a USEMAP attribute is deleted, it
does take care of the related MAP element. The document author is
supposed to delete this MAP or to link it to another IMG element.
- Links:
The functions "Create Link" and "Change Link" create an anchor if the
DTD allows the insertion of an anchor as the parent of the current
selection. Then the user can click a target anchor or a target document
or a structured element with an ID attribute. - If it's not a valid
target, Amaya displays a form to insert the HREF value. - If the user
clicks on a valid target, Amaya generates automatically the HREF value.
In both cases, Amaya transforms the HREF value to make it relative to the
document base (the BASE element value or the current document URL).
When an anchor with a HREF attribute is pasted, Amaya transforms the
HREF value to make it relative to the document base.
- Images:
The function "Create Image" creates the SRC value relatively to the
document base (the BASE element value or the current document URL). Amaya
also creates the ALT attribute and initializes its value with the image
name.
When an IMG is pasted, Amaya transforms the SRC value to make it
relative to the document base.
- Publishing:
- Button "Copy Images" indicates that images have to be copied into:
- the new document directory (on the remote server or locally), - the
new image directory, if there is a specified image directory.
- Button "Transform URLs" indicates that all URLs and SRCs are
recomputed when saving the document. In both cases, Amaya generates
relative URLs when it's possible.
- Customization: Each user can define his/her personal file HTML.conf in
his/her HOME directory. So each individual user can now customize size
and position of Amaya windows.
- Java: Upgraded to Kaffe-0.9.1 using the JDK 1.1.2 classes. The
mechanism to access Java objects content has been cleaned up and should
be ready for 64 bit targets. Java stubs are not distributed anymore, the
Makefiles produced by autoconf build them on the fly to avoid conflict in
case of changes in the HTML schemas. General improvements for the Java
classes embedding access to the document C objects.
- Math: This version of Amaya contains an embryonic MathML editor, that
allows mathematical expressions to be embedded in HTML pages. It
implements a subset of the MathML specification. This feature should be
considered as a demonstration, as it is very incomplete. More in next
releases.
- MS/Windows This is the first version of Amaya that runs on Microsoft
Windows (both Windows 95 and Windows/NT).
Fixed bugs
- Spaces were not accepted in end tags. For instance,
</STRONG
> was considered invalid. It is accepted now.
- Amaya refused to create an Image before an Image. Now it works.
- Sometimes, active zones were not created.
- Using Style forms, the text was displayed correctly, but the style
attribute registered the previous style value instead of the new one.
April 3 1997 und Mai 7, 1997
Extensions
Fixed bug
- When saving a document in HTML, Amaya omitted quotes around some
attribute values.
- When inserting an anchor around a sample image, the image was sometimes
lost.
- On 1 bit per pixel screens, buttons in dialog boxes were entirely black
and selection was invisible.
- Amaya didn't select any element or character when the mouse was out of
document limits.
- Some improvements to table formatting (cells containing a single IMG
with a width attribute are formatted correctly).
- Creation of new definitions (DD) at the beginning of a definition list
(DL) is now possible.
- Amaya tried to interpret "&" followed by a non-letter as an entity.
It's now interpreted as ordinary text.
- When a <TD> tag follows a <TABLE> tag without a <TR>
in between, a WIDTH attribute associated with <TD> was considered
invalid.
- Amaya created additional <P> tags in table cells and list
items.
- tags such as <B>, <I>, <EM>, etc. caused troubles in
<PRE> elements.
January 9, 1997
Extensions
- Attributes height and width are taken into account for IMG, TD and
TH.
- Tooltips (aka tips) are available on buttons.
- A message is displayed at the bottom of the window when the document is
saved.
- Creation of definition lists (DL) is easier.
- Added Two new buttons, to create links and tables.
- Amaya can now uncompress gziped HTML files.
- Sends an Accept header corresponding to the MIME types Amaya can
display
Fixed bugs
- The main view (Formatted_view) of HTML documents was always placed at
the top left corner of the screen. The position specified in the
HTML.conf file was ignored.
- Under certain conditions, it was possible to create several BODY or
HEAD elements in the same document.
- It was sometimes necessary to activate the Close View command twice for
actually closing the Structure view.
- In some tables, columns containing badly structured cells were
sometimes moved to the left side of the table.
- When an image was within a paragraph with some text, and with a caret
on its right or left edge, pressing keys Enter, Del and BackSpace led to
strange results.
- Submitting a form always sent the value attribute of the Submit button,
regardless of whether a name attribute was present or not. Other minor
problems with form selection were fixed up.
- Amaya didn't support invalid base like a complete document URL.
- Amaya didn't support invalid attributes in BASE element.
- Under certain conditions, copy and paste of images between documents
didn't work.
- Under certain conditions, some images were not published.
- When publishing, Amaya did not sent a Content-Type header.
November 14, 1996
Extensions
- Structure transformation (command Types/Transform)
- more efficient pattern matching algorithm
- more structure checking: transformations are not proposed to the
user if they lead to an invalid structure (even if the transformation
is matched with the selection).
- the last modification time of the file
HTML.trans is
checked before it is parsed.
- in version 0.8, if the parser detects an error in file
HTML.trans, the transformation process is stopped. Now,
the parser skips the invalid transformation.
- error messages are displayed at the bottom of the window.
- Color palette
- The palette highlights the foreground and background colors of the
element selected when the palette is opened. The highlight allows
users to choose the same colors for different elements.
- It is also possible now to remove a color attribute from an element
just using the "standard color" button in the palette.
- Forms
- forms can now be sent using GET and POST methods to
protected/unprotected URLs
- creation of form components has been improved
- you can activate buttons and menu options by double-clicking
them.
- HTML 3.2
- the latest extensions of HTML 3.2. have been added: tag BASEFONT
and attributes width and height for tags TH and TD.
- It is now possible to add comments in HTML documents (use command
Structure/Comment in the Structure view)
- User Interface
- When the current selection is within a PRE element, some menu
entries are disabled: Image in Types menu, and Big, Small, Sub, Sup,
and Font in Character Element menu.
- Interpretation of "~" and "file:" in "Open" and "Save As" dialogue
boxes
- In previous versions, I B and TT buttons were never updated when
selection changed. Now they are displayed according to the current
selection.
- Continuous scroll: the document scrolls as you move the slider
- Distinction between "Cancel" and "Done" buttons in dialogue
boxes.
- When opening the Structure view, the document is displayed with the
selected part visible in that view.
- Environment variables are initialized from the Registry (file
thot.ini)
- Integration of libwww5.0a, giving among other things: HTTP/1.1 and
keep-alive connections.
- Reload button and command (File/Reload Document).
- Spell checker is now available for English and French, but both
dictionaries are far from complete.
behobene Fehler
- Closing an Amaya window with a window manager command caused Amaya to
crash. Now only the concerned window is closed.
- The HTML parser inserted a space at the beginning of a new line
generated by a <BR> tag followed by new line in the source
file.
- Call "Change link" from Links menu and click in the document itself.
The dialog box for entering the URL of the target was empty in previous
versions. Now it contains the current value of attribute HREF.
- Select some characters, call "Create link" from Link menu and click in
the document itself. Do not enter anything in the dialogue box for the
URL and press the Cancel button in this dialogue box. Later, call the
Change link command for entering an actual URL for that anchor. Nothing
happened in previous versions. Now you can change the URL.
- Some elements were lost during structure transformation, this is now
fixed.
- Structure transformation was impossible if the selection contains
comments or invalid elements. Now transformations are possible (invalid
tags are removed in the new structure).
- In previous versions, if the input focus is in one window and you press
the H1 button (or any other button of that kind) in another window (with
a different document in it) it changes the first window. Now, the button
does nothing.
- Colors management is completely re-casted and we hope to solve color
problems in previous versions.
- An emphasized string (or strong or...) can now span several lines in a
Preformatted.
- When the same Web image is shared by two loaded documents, just one
local copy was created by Amaya and this copy was lost when the first
document was closed. This choice causes troubles when user tried to
publish the second document. Now Amaya creates two copies, one for each
document.
- Copy and paste on images didn't work fine in previous release.
- Sometimes, local copies of remote documents were not created in the
right place. Now it works.
- When user closed a document view with the Window Manager, the whole
application exited. Now only the document view is closed.
- It is now possible to save a document if it is modified and close
it.
- In the previous version, Amaya did not detect the cancel of the network
save of an object to a protected URL space.
- Inserting an image from a local directory did not react well to errors.
This has been corrected.
- Call "Create Link" when an target anchor is selected or "Create Target"
when a link anchor is selected, Amaya refused to add the href or name
attribute. Now it works.
- Call "Change Link" anywhere asked to select the destination. Now this
function works only within an link anchor.
- After loading a lot of CSS files Amaya cannot load images because file
descriptors are not freed. Now it is correct.
- The command "Save As" doesn't work or crashes. Now it is correct.
- Bug in area-mapping (circle) fixed.
- Support of the starting option -display
- If a user gave a wrong password, Amaya did not ask the user for the new
password. It kept using the wrong one. Fixed.
- When typing in the WYSIWYG window, clicking e.g. the "Italics" button
enters italics mode. After typing a few italic chars one wants to change
back to normal mode. Clicking the "Italics" button once again achieves
this. But you can't go on typing in normal mode, because this second
click also selects the italic text to become the active (highlighted)
region. Simply typing ahead overwrites the whole (italic) region. This
bug is fixed.
- The implicit break following the <HR>failed to appear when a
<FONT>tag follows <BR>. The text within the FONT
construct appeared to the right ofthe horizontal rule. This bug is
fixed
- When typing in the WYSIWYG window, clicking e.g. the "Italics"
button enters italics mode. After typing a few italic chars one wants to
change back to normal mode. Clicking the "Italics" button once again
achieves this. But you can't go on typing in normal mode, because this
second click also selects the italic text to become the active
(highlighted) region. Simply typing ahead overwrites the whole (italic)
region. This bug is fixed.
- Printing with "US" paper size did not work. Bug fixed.
- When changing attribut "align" for an element DIV containing
paragraphs, the paragraphs were not redisplayed with the alignment
defined by the attribute but they moved in a weird way in the Structure
view. This bug is fixed.
- Select a DT and change its style: the DT element in the Structure view
gets confused. Bug fixed.
- Selection was moved to its original position at the ned of command
Edit/Find. It now stays at its current position.
