Amelinium 1.1.1 - web browser AND mail client for classic Amiga
===============================================================

Support me: http://juen.in/support

Always new version here: http://juen.in

A browser AND a mail client. The archive holds two programs that share one
rendering engine, so a message with HTML and CSS looks the same in your inbox
as a page does in the browser:

  Amelinium  - the web browser
  Emalinium  - the mail client (POP3 / IMAP / SMTP). It is not a plain-text
               reader: a message is laid out by the SAME engine as a web page.

Requirements:
- bsdsocket.library v4+ (works with IMPBOX bsdsocket.library!)
- AmiSSL v5 for HTTPS support (without that still http:// sites works fine)

  Amelinium_AROS_i386 needs NO extra library at all - not AmiSSL, and nothing
  to copy into LIBS:. Only the AROS system itself and its bsdsocket.library.
  Its TLS (1.2 and 1.3) is BUILT INTO the executable, so the download is one
  file and there is no libs_aros_i386 drawer to install.

  Why: AmiSSL has no AROS release at all. What ships for Amiga is m68k HUNK
  code, and an i386 system cannot load it - so the choice was a built-in TLS
  or no https at all on that machine.

Third-party code in Amelinium_AROS_i386:
  Mbed TLS 3.6.7 (https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/mbed-tls/) is
  compiled into that one executable, unmodified. It is dual-licensed
  Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later - you may take it under either. The full
  text is in mbedtls-LICENSE.txt next to this readme. No other build
  contains it.

!! HTTPS is encrypted but the server's CERTIFICATE IS NOT VERIFIED - i do not
   check who is on the other end. Treat it as protection against passive
   eavesdropping, not against an attacker who can redirect your traffic. The
   same applies to Emalinium's mail passwords.

Builds:
- Amelinium           - 68000 (works on all Amigas, slowest)
- Amelinium_020       - 68020+
- Amelinium_040       - 68040+
- Amelinium_060       - 68060+ (fastest, recommended for RTG)
- Amelinium_low       - AmigaOS 1.3 (Kickstart 34+). No images, no downloads
                        and NO MENU BAR - so no settings, bookmarks, tabs or
                        About.
- Amelinium_020_JS    - 68020+ with built-in JavaScript
- Amelinium_040_JS    - 68040+ with built-in JavaScript
- Amelinium_060_JS    - 68060+ with built-in JavaScript
- Emalinium           - the mail client (any 68020+)
- Amelinium_AROS_i386 - AROS on i386 (x86 PC)
                        (no JavaScript in this build yet, so the JS button
                        is greyed out)
- Amelinium_MOS       - MorphOS - in development
- Amelinium_OS4       - AmigaOS 4 - in development

Known issues:
- JavaScript: in the _JS builds. DOM scripting works, and so do jQuery,
  Prototype, script.aculo.us and Lightbox - including a jQuery packed with
  the Dean Edwards packer. Heavy frameworks (e.g. Google's Closure) still do
  not. A page whose scripts do a great deal of work will be slow: the
  interpreter is not fast, and that is the honest limit.
- No <canvas>: a page that draws with it shows nothing there.
- rotate() / skew() / matrix() are parsed but not drawn (translate() and
  scale() are)
- Some pages may still render incorrectly - please report them
- Slow on 68000, usable on 68030+ (faster from cache)

Command line:
  Amelinium [URL] [options]

  -screen WxH[xD]  open an own screen of that size, skipping the mode
                   requester - e.g. `-screen 1024x768x24` on an RTG card or
                   `-screen 1280x512` on AGA. Picks the deepest mode the size
                   offers when D is left out. This is the quickest way to a
                   usable window on a big screen.
  -aga             640x512 8-bitplane PAL screen, no requester
  -wb              open on the Workbench screen
  -js              run page scripts everywhere, ignoring the per-site list.
                   By default scripts are OFF until you allow a site, because
                   one advertising bundle can exhaust the machine's memory.
  -proxy-host H
  -proxy-port P    send everything through an HTTP proxy

The same settings are available from the icon's Tool Types: URL, PROXYHOST,
PROXYPORT, AGA, WB.

Pictures:
  GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and ICO are decoded on the Amiga, by the browser
  itself. Decoded pictures are cached on disk, so a second visit paints
  them without decoding again.

  !! SVG, WebP and AVIF cannot be decoded here - there is no code on this
  machine that reads them. Those go out to a PUBLIC RASTERISER
  (images.weserv.nl), which converts them to PNG and sends that back. The
  address of the picture therefore leaves your machine and reaches a third
  party, which is worth knowing: it is the price of seeing an icon set that
  a modern site ships as SVG. Everything else is fetched straight from the
  site. Turning images off in the Settings menu stops both.

Fonts:
  Amelinium reads TrueType fonts ITSELF - it opens the .ttf file, reads the
  glyph outlines and rasterises them with its own scanline renderer. That
  path needs no FPU, no maths libraries and no external library at all, so
  TrueType text works on every Amiga from a plain 68000 upwards. It is on by
  default whenever the font files are present; the TT button turns it off.
  The AA button switches edge smoothing, which needs a truecolor screen -
  on a palette screen there is nothing to blend with, so the button is greyed.

Acknowledgments:
  Liberation Fonts (Red Hat, SIL OFL 1.1) - metric-compatible Arial /
    Times / Courier replacements.
  DejaVu Sans (DejaVu Fonts project, Bitstream Vera license) - used
    when CSS names Verdana or Tahoma; matches their wider metrics
    where Liberation Sans (Arial-metric) would be too narrow.
  AmiSSL by Oliver Roberts - TLS for HTTPS.
  stb_image (public domain) - PNG/GIF decoding.
  TJpgDec by ChaN (BSD-style, 2021) - tiny JPEG decoder with
    scale-on-decode (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). http://elm-chan.org/fsw/tjpgd/
    Replaces stb_image for JPEG - same input, half the RAM and
    much faster on oversized photo thumbnails.
  Amiga Core Fonts for the Web (Amiga Information Center, 2000) -
    bitmap fallback when TT is unavailable.

History:
  Recorded from 1.1.0 onwards. Earlier releases were not kept this way.

  1.1.1
  - JavaScript now works in the AROS i386 build - the JS button is no longer
    greyed out there
  - Added the Popover API: an element with the popover attribute stays hidden
    until it is shown, and popovertarget buttons open it without JavaScript
  - Fixed images going missing on pages that load many at once - our own
    decoding time was being charged against the other downloads
  - Fixed one failed connection writing off a whole host, so the rest of a
    gallery was skipped
  - Fixed frameset images: they now reuse connections, retry once, and can go
    through the SVG/WebP rasteriser like every other picture
  - Fixed addresses typed HTTP:// or HttpS:// being treated as unknown - the
    scheme is case-insensitive (RFC 3986)
  - Fixed the URL field text sitting one pixel too high and too far left

  1.1.0
  - New target Amelinium_AROS_i386, with TLS 1.2 and 1.3 BUILT IN - no AmiSSL
    and no extra library to install; AmiSSL has no AROS release at all
  - Images now load six at a time instead of two, and the browser backs off by
    itself when a server refuses that many
  - Fixed three separate ways pictures could silently go missing
  - Faster layout and text measurement on heavy pages
  - Fixed "no AmiSSL for https" on AROS sending the user after a library that
    does not exist for that machine
