The reason is that it is very buggy, Martin Pergel doesn't have time to develop it and code is so messy that no one else can understand it. If you use links for special purposes (embedded devices, etc.), you can bring javascript back by copying javascript files from previous release, removing "dnl javascript" lines from configure.in, adding *.c and *.h files to Makefile.am and re-running automake and autoconf. Javascript hooks from main code were not removed --- they just won't be maintained. === RELEASE 2.1pre28 === Wed Apr 11 01:39:36 cet 2007 mikulas: Fixed a bug in decompression and javascript document.write introduced in previous release (compressed data were displayed after document.write) (BTW. because the javascript interpreter has bugs, Martin Pergel has not time for it and the code is so messy that it couldn't be understand by anyone else, javascript will likely be removed in next release) === RELEASE 2.1pre27 === Sat Apr 7 02:43:28 CEST 2007 mikulas: Terminal resize, window title and clipboard support for Cygwin Clipboard supports non-ascii characters badly, it is a limitation in Cygwin Wed Apr 4 23:19:00 MET 2007 Carles Pina i Estany : Add more top-level domains Sat Mar 31 03:02:40 CEST 2007 student: win32.c file removed because in each new version of windows it doesn't work. Don't even try to fix it unless you have computers with Windows NT, Window 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista side by side. (new Cygwin emulates xterm-like mouse on the console, so it's not needed for mouse) Cygwin sometimes doesn't send SIGWINCH, it is its bug, so I didn't try to fix it in links. Press twice Alt-Enter if links doesn't notify window size change Sun Mar 25 22:26:41 MET 2007 mikulas: Fixed bad behaviour of scrollbars on very large documents due to integer overflow Wed Mar 21 22:15:25 MET 2007 mikulas: Support for zlib, gzip and bzip2 files Wed Mar 21 04:37:42 MET 2007 mikulas: Limit image scaling to prevent allocation overflow Tue Feb 6 00:23:43 MET 2007 mikulas: Allow quotation marks in Refresh URL parameter --- fixes Google Picasa === RELEASE 2.1pre26 === Tue Nov 28 23:13:38 MET 2006 mikulas: Fixed severe security bug: '"' and ';' in smb:// url could be used for remote command execution. === RELEASE 2.1pre25 === Wed Nov 22 23:55:21 MET 2006 mikulas: DirectFB no longer causes internal error on unsupported color depth.

Remaining bugs: palette not installed with 256-color svgalib support drawing doesn't synchronize with softcursor (seen on svgalib) stupid keyboard handling (SDL has the ability to query operating system keymap and translate keys to unicode but this driver didn't use it) doesn't support virtual devices with Alt-1 ... Alt-0, like svgalib and framebuffer reportedly crashes with sdl-1.2.10 If you want SDL support continued, take file sdl.c from previous version of links, fix the above issues and resubmit it.
