Information about Lynx Development

Informatin about Lynx Development is available at http://lynx.isc.org/ if you are interested in working on Lynx, you should join the lynx-dev mailing list.

Lynx's last official release is version 2.8.4. Development will continue and it is anticipated that the next release will be 2.9, which will have significant code changes.

One of the best places to learn more about Lynx's history is the About Lynx page at the University of Kansas. If you have questions about Lynx, take a look at the FAQ. A lot of discussion on the future of Lynx takes place on the Lynx Development mailing list and most of it is recorded in the lynx-dev archives

DOS-Lynx has its own development list. Subscription requests should be addressed to listproc@listproc.cc.ukans.edu and have as the subject "SUBSCRIBE DOSLYNX-DEV <your name>". While you're at it, take a look at the DOS-Lynx page at UKans and F-DISK's DOS-Internet page which contains general information on DOS and networking.

There are many people who have worked with and improved upon the Lynx source over the years. The initial team at UKansas turned Lynx into a complete web browser and the task of updating it was then taken over by volunteers on lynx-dev. Foteos Macrides <macrides@sci.wfbr.edu> co-ordinated the Lynx project between 2.3.1 and 2.7.1 (September 1994 and February 1997).

Various people on lynx-dev work to implement new features into Lynx and these changes are incorporated into a developmental code-set almost daily. This code-set is freely available to those who wish to test and comment on the changes and the direction being taken by the developers. The lynx-dev mailing list is the primary forum for such discussion.
