Description M. Ignacio Monge García 2005-11-19 00:45:05 UTC
CHANGES IN HTMLDOC v1.8.25

    NEW FEATURES

	- Added "--overflow" and "--no-overflow" command-line
	  options to show or hide the content-too-large errors;
	  the default is "--no-overflow".
	- Added "--header1" command-line option and "HEADER1"
	  page comments to set the page header for the first page
	  of each chapter.
	- Added "timing" and "remotebytes" debug data generation.
	- Added DejaVu font collection to better support Cyrillic
	  and Greek text; the new fonts are available under the
	  generic names "monospace", "sans", and "serif".
	- Added "--referer" command-line option and corresponding
	  CGI-mode support to pass Referer: information in HTTP
	  requests (STR #91)

    CHANGES:

	- On Windows, HTMLDOC now logs CGI mode errors to a file
	  called "htmldoc.log" in the Windows temporary
	  directory.
	- HTMLDOC no longer uses Base-85 encoding for image data
	  when producing Level 2 and 3 PostScript output. It
	  appears that many printers and PostScript interpreters
	  cannot properly decode this data when the original
	  image data is not a multiple of 8 bits.
	- HTMLDOC now renders STRONG elements in boldface instead
	  of bold-italic to match the W3C recommendations.
	- HTMLDOC now automatically inserts a TR element before a
	  TD or TH element as needed to improve web site
	  compatibility; this also triggers a HTML error in
	  --strict mode.

    BUG FIXES

	- "$HFIMAGEn" didn't work in a header/footer string.
	- HTMLDOC could crash when rendering a table.
	- Book files were not used in CGI mode (STR #69)
	- Cookies were not sent in HTTP requests (STR #71)
	- Table cells were not aligned properly when the ROWSPAN
	  attribute was set to 1 (STR #73)
	- HTMLDOC crashed when rendering unresolved hyperlinks in
	  aligned images (STR #62)
	- Documented the HTMLDOC_NOCGI environment variable (STR
	  #63)
	- HTMLDOC sometimes crashed when rendering tables with
	  background colors (STR #65)
	- HTMLDOC would crash when writing encrypted strings
	  longer than 1024 bytes (STR #66)
	- HTMLDOC didn't set the data directory when running in
	  CGI mode on Windows.
	- HTMLDOC could crash when loading the Symbol.afm file
	  (STR #93)
	- HTMLDOC did not always honor HEIGHT attributes in table
	  rows.
	- Tables with a mix of colspan and rowspan sometimes
	  caused cells to be moved vertically outside the cell.

The ebuild for htmldoc-1.8.24 works for the new version. Just rename it accordingly.
