- Faster HTML parser derivede from SGMLparser (Fred Gansevles).
- All manipulations of todo, done, ext, bad are done via methods, so a
derived class can override. Also moved the 'done' marking to
dopage(), so run() is much simpler.
- Added a method status() which returns a string containing the
summary counts; added a "total" count.
- Drop the guessing of the file type before opening the document -- we
still need to check those links for validity!
- Added a subroutine to close a connection which first slurps up the
remaining data when it's an ftp URL -- apparently closing an ftp
connection without reading till the end makes it hang.
- Added -n option to skip running (only useful with -R).
- The Checker object now has an instance variable which is set to 1
when it is changed. This is not pickled.
in the 'bad' dictionary (sanitize them so they are picklable; the
sanitation code is now a subroutine); don't check mailto: URLs; omit
colon in Error message.
removed from .mirrorinfo. Now they are (even if -r is not specified
-- the files are not removed, just their .mirrorinfo entry).
Added a feature: the -s pattern option is also used to skip local
files when removing (i.e. -r won't remove local files matching the -s
patterns).
navigation links for HTML 3 version.
Forced a blank line above the footnotes separator for HTML 2; at
least one page did not get this spaced correctly.
print section titles even when the debugging output is not enabled.
Added -3 option to generate HTML 3.0 constructs where meaningful.
Removed repititive garbage generation: the old version added simple
descriptive comments after every datadesc/funcdesc/*desc entry:
function(args) -- function of module xxxx
Description....
These comments are no longer generated:
function(args)
Description....
to 4 spaces per level (no longer 8).
(Makefile): Use .pyc versions of partparse.py and texi2html.py to generate
converted documentation formats. This reduces the startup costs;
probably doesn't affect anyone but me in reality, but helps when
working on the docs.
