New Code!

Get out the flamethrowers, weed killer, and planetbuster nukes, because annotations has been pushed up to version 1.0.4.2 with many changes, each more horrible than the last.

1.0.4.2 inflicts the following changes onto an unsuspecting world:

In configure.sh,
1. FAIL if discount can’t be found
2. FAIL if discount < 1.2.0
In format.c
1. Remove the comment that describes the old (and now invalid) formatting.
2. byline() now supplies the <p class="byline">…</p> block wrapper
3. byline() uses a rudimentary printf-style format for placing author name (%A), post date (%D – w/ url link, %d – without), and %% escape, plus \n -> newline and \\ -> \
4. In article(), call mkd_basename() to set the root for all unqualified relative paths in urls.
In formatting.h, add a base field to struct fmt (to pass to mkd_basename) and change struct markup byline to char *byline
In indexer.c
1. Always use a <FORM> block for the comment button even if there are already comments.
2. everywhere where I call markdown(), call mkd_basename() first so that I can resolve url fragments.
In readconfig.c,
1. byline is now a single-field configuration instead of a pair.
2. Generate fmt.base from the provided url.
In rss.c, use fmt.base for mkd_basename() and atom-format headers.

If you thought that the latest discount release was kind of dull, *this* is the New Code! that you’ve been looking for. I can’t guarantee birth defects, but if you gaze too long at this code you might find your eyeballs boiling and your ears bleeding from the sheer horror of it all.
