Changelog

links-2.1pre23 PSP r1261 2007/02/06

  • NEW FEATURES
    • (raf) Changed default background color from gray to white (for html).
    • (raf) UP/DOWN in html now scroll up/down (without R+).
    • (raf) UP/DOWN at the top/bottom of a menu list will wrap (user request).
  • BUG FIXES
    • (raf) Plugin: Fixed openssl compile options (-mno-explicit-relocs), this fixes the problem where the Links2 plugin wasn't working. (You will need to upgrade openssl from the pspdev svn to rev.2169 or greater).
  • KNOWN PROBLEMS
    • (raf) Plugin: Priorities have not been optimized, so the plugin runs slow if pspradio is playing music.

links-2.1pre23 PSP r1231 2006/08/09

  • NEW FEATURES
    • (raf) Using a new mouse cursor (Edited off of the freely available theme http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=13524).
    • (raf) Implemented h/w double buffering to go along the s/w double buffering (more like triple buffering). This solves the flickering of danzeff.
    • (raf) Slowed down the mouse pointer a bit. Also made this a configuration item (mouse_speed_factor).
    • (raf) Renamed config item psp_bb_to_fb_factor to screen_zoom_factor.
    • (raf) Added support for 16bpp to danzeff.
    • (raf) Modified links to use 16bpp; this saves a lot of memory.
  • BUG FIXES
    • (raf) Cleaned up the call to the input handler. This resolved some timing issues that were causing the graphic glitches (menu screens not clearing up correctly).

links-2.1pre23 PSP r1222 2006/08/04

  • NEW FEATURES
    • (raf) Cookie save/restore patch from cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/links2-cookies-save.patch?rev=1.2 applied.

    • (raf) Also changed default font to 12 from 24. (Change to 24 in html.cfg if want to use zoom mode).
  • BUG FIXES
    • (raf) Reverted UP/DOWN behavior (user requested). (R+UP/DOWN still does page up/down, though).

links-2.1pre22 PSP r1214 2006/07/08

  • NEW FEATURES
    • (raf) Updates to pspgu driver:
      • Default resolution is now 960x544 (Its scaled down to the PSP's 480x272).
      • Links scaling is now disabled (as it used too much memory, and was one of the main culprits of memory errors).
      • Font size changed from 12 to 24, so it is readable without zoom (at 960x544).
      • Zoom (along with new virtual resolution of 960x544 implemented using a kind of double buffering).
    • (raf) New button mappings:
      • UP/DOWN = scroll up/scroll down (former R+UP/DOWN).
      • R+UP/DOWN = page up/page down.
      • L (held) = zoom (while L is held). Use analog stick to move around.
      • L+CROSS = toggles zoom lock. (Once locked, the analog will control the mouse. Use L+analog to move zoom window).
