Here is an excerpt from the changelog (since the last release):
Mon Apr 5 13:34:00 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* v.007beta - second release
* Revamped local files - now use file:/ instead of nonstandard local:/
* Added better handling of definition lists. (No support for Compact
ones now though)
Fri Apr 2 10:28:08 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Definition lists now keep their zones/extents so they are highlighted
correctly.
* Fixed bug in <PRE> handling - left out a (goto-char (point-min))
Wed Mar 31 08:51:04 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Did work on resolving ./ & ../ links (only works for one level right
now. Will work on getting it recursive later.
* Changed data field in extents/zones to be (w3 . <type>) so I
wouldn't grab a wrong item.
* Fixed a bug in title handling. Left something out of an if
statement and it would try to delete a region that (probably) didn't
exist.
* Fixed bug in w3-follow-link (added a ':' to end of regexp). Would
cause it to screw up on a url like http.html. Thanks to Erik Ostrom
(eostrom@nic.gac.edu)
* Changed requires to autoloads where possible
* Wrapped require of transparent.el so it won't get loaded if in X
* Fixed bug in lemacs mouse links.
* Applied numerous patches from har@cs.cmu.edu & jwz@lucid.com to fix
compilation problems with lemacs & epoch.
Tue Mar 30 15:05:01 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Added mouse support for following links in epoch & lucid emacs
Store the link # in the data segment of the zone. If mouse is
clicked in a zone, extract the data, assoc it with w3-links-list and
call w3-follow-link with it. Hacky but works. :)
* Added (provide 'w3) for easier loading, etc.
* Fixed problems with epoch highlihting
* Fixed makefile problem (some files left out)
Sun Mar 28 13:04:12 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Added auto-viewing of ps/gif/jpg/etc files
* Added uncompression and gunzipping auto-recognition
Sat Mar 27 12:32:54 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* v.004beta - first release
* Few changes to the parser
* Fixed PRE Handling so it parses out urls inside.
* Added handling of &#XXX to insert ascii value of XXX.
