Good work! Thanks for your efforts.
Here are my annotations to your TODO list...
TODO:
htcommon/HTML.cc:
metadatetags, descriptionMatch
-- latter is for description_meta_tag_names attribute
strlen(skip_start) taken out of loop
-- no longer applicable, as skip_start now String type
ignore_alt_text
remove 'which = -1; //What does it do?' on line 948...
htlib/Dictionary.cc:
add 'e->next = NULL' after line 251
-- I also wonder if a more careful audit of
the Dictionary class isn't needed. It seems
some changes were made to it in 3.2, which in
retrospect may be unnecessary after this fix
is implemented, and may lead to memory leaks.
(e.g. Release no longer releases anything.)
Apart from the addition of "const" keywords
in 3.2, these two versions of the class should
be the same, but which one is correct?
htsearch/Display.cc:
displayHTTPheaders
-- for search_results_contenttype attribute
Remove "ANCHOR"
save instance of URL for star_patterns and template_paterns
-- I think this bit is unique to 3.1.6 URL handling
HtURLRewriter
-- part of search_rewrite_rules handling
max_excerpts attribute
anchor_target attribute
relative dates
-- i.e. make startyear et al. handle relative date
ranges in Display.cc
htsearch/parser.cc:
boolean_syntax_errors and boolean_keywords internationalisation
multimatch_factor (listed below as 'multimatch_method')
-- oops! that typo made it into RELEASE.html too.
-- note: still VERY buggy in 3.1.6
- check changes to prefix_match_character, now in QueryLexer.cc
-- related to "list-all" feature below
htsearch/htsearch.cc:
boolean_keywords internationalisation
Here are additional items, which were mentioned in the list I sent to
Jessica in August and Jim in October, but didn't make it above...
htcommon/defaults.cc:
> - add startyear et al. to defaults.cc
-- need full descriptions of these
installdir/english.0:
> - fuzzy endings patch and updated english.0 file
-- fixes to htfuzzy/EndingsDB.cc, htfuzzy/Endings.cc
already done, but 2 rounds of changes to english.0
missing
contrib/conv_doc.pl, contrib/doc2html/*:
> - get updated external parser scripts into contrib directory
> (fix eof handling bug in .pl scripts)
-- if a newer doc2html release is available,
we should use it
htsearch/htsearch.cc, htsearch/parser.cc:
> - list-all feature in htsearch for a query of * or prefix_match_character
-- this will be tricky for 3.2, because of the
changes in the databases
htdig/Retriever.cc:
> - ignore_dead_servers attribute
... plus the two I said I'd handle...
htcommon/HtSGMLCodec.cc:
> - translate_latin1 attribute, with hooks into SGMLCodec class
htdig/htdig.cc:
> - better handling of htdig -m option
It should also go without saying that any new attribute should also be
added and described in defaults.cc in 3.2.
I hope to do a more thorough ChangeLog audit before 3.2.0b5 is released,
but this TODO list should give us a lot to chew on in the meantime.
