# Line Mode Browser 2.15 Release Notes

As always, most of the added features in the Line Mode Browser are a result of changes to the Library of Common Code. However, the following new features deserve to be mentioned:

- Introduced a more sophisticated verbose mode that takes parameter after the -v option. This feature is implemented due to an excessive amount of verbose output from the Library and the Browser. The -v option can now be followed by none, one, or more of the following characters:
  a
    Anchor relevant information
  p
    Protocol Modules
  s
    SGML/HTML information
  u
    URI management
  The `-v` flag alone turns on all trace messages. This feature is a result of a more advanced TRACE management in the Library of Common Code
- LineMode Browser now supports direct WAIS access. If it is compiled with the same WAIS flags in the Makefile as the CERN server then it can access a WAIS server directly.
- New command line feature: -m where is one of
  - GET
  - HEAD
  This will later get extended to also include other HTTP methods
- Cyrillic support added for Line Mode Browser. This is a patch from Anton Tropashko, agl@glas2.glas.apc.org
- Bug where the Browser prompted the user a UserID and Password in non-interactive mode fixed. Now non-interactive really means non-interactive.
- The common BUILD for the Line Mode Browser, the CERN Server and the Library of common code now accepts a command line option:

      	BUILD linemode | daemon | library

  to build a specific component. The default action is to build all three parts. BUILD is now also provided in a Bourne Shell version
