The greenish taskbar placeholder is gone. The appearance of the old taskbar
is restored. However the taskbar currently contains only the library
button (but the latter leads to the currently blank welcome page).
Foundation for never-ending friendship between viewer_taskbar.js and
viewer.html has been established by a slight change in how the book name
is obtained and commenting out the rest of the code.
Before this fix, browsing history didn't work at all. Now it mostly
works but there are still some quirks that must be debugged further.
Since session history handling turns out to be a rather complex topic
(see https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/history.html) the work in
that direction will be postponed until other features reach a comparable
level of readiness.
The next goal is to redirect old-style /book/path/to/entry URLs to
/content/book/path/to/entry, which seemed pretty trivial.
However, given the current handling of some endpoint URLs, more work was
required to ensure that invalid endpoint URLs (e.g. "/random/number" or
"/suggest/fr") are not interpreted as content URLs. Previously, that was
not a user-observable issue, since the result would be an immediate 404
error (except in certain edge cases, like handling the request for
"/random/number" when there is a book with name "random" containing an
article at path "/number"). With redirection of URLs that were assumed
to refer to content a 404 error would be issued for the
transformed URL ("/content/random/number") which may be confusing.
Therefore this change is to ensure the correct routing of endpoint URL
handling.
Book content is now served under /content/book/...
The old access to book content via a top-level URL /book/... is so far
preserved for backward compatibility.
Redirects were changed to use the new URL scheme. Links in the search results
still use the old scheme.
If the server is initialized with a library.xml file, then the id
specified in the XML file is used (rather than the UUID recorded in the
ZIM file).
Note that in test/data/library.xml the book ids are fake and
different from the real ZIM IDs; that file was created for testing
of the /catalog endpoint which doesn't access ZIM content, so the
the same ZIM file zimfile.zim was added to library.xml three times as
three different books (with unique human-friendly ids). This explains
the diff in test/library_server.cpp.
Now after porting index.js and taskbar.js to vanilla JS, it is time to remove files.
