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.
