XRefHT for Java - Updates since July 2006
2011 February
Extracting from a site
now ignores URLs containing the double-dot parent-directory code,
thus avoiding problems with generation of repeated entries
and error messages about failure to open files
with ill-structured pathnames.
2009 February
A change has been made to the database module
to avoid its incorrectly rewriting the first part of a buffer
instead of writing the later part
after crossing a block boundary.
2008 October
Two bugs affecting HTML indexes,
that produced malformed tags for names for headings
and links from headings,
have been corrected.
Various bugs that caused the "Anchor headings" menu item
not to work have been corrected.
Clicking the "Cancel" button
when prompted for a URL prefix
now sets the prefix to the empty string,
instead of to "null".
2007 March
The default template from the .jar file
is now used in creating an HTML index
if a separate xretempl.htm file is not supplied.
A function has been added to check the list
for three common sources of problems:
different headings that file identically;
headings with trailing blanks;
and headings lacking both subheadings and URLs.
Sorting has been fixed to ensure upper and lower case forms file together.
2006 December
In HTML index creation, list items with empty URLs
no longer produce links to "";
such items can thus be used to insert notes, definitions, or the like
under appropriate headings.
2006 September
Some support has been added for URLs that require
user names and passwords.
Functions to create entries by extraction from an entire site,
either local or accessible by URL,
have now been added,
both in the main menus and in scripts.
2006 August
Entries can now be created by extraction directly from URLs,
both from the main menus and in scripts.
A couple of coding errors
that introduced underlines into extracted titles
have been corrected.
Routines for saving, loading, copying, and pasting item lists
have been modified to permit including double quotes
in headings, subheadings, and URLs,
following the conventions in the Microsoft Excel CSV format.
This change allows the use of pseudo-URLs
like the following:
