MacLynx is an update to the original 1997 MacLynx that provides a native Lynx text browser port on A/UX 3.x, System 7.x and higher, with Mac quality-of-life improvements and support for TLS 1.3 through Crypto Ancienne (either self-hosted or on another system).
Changes in this release:
- Pull-down menu support. Everything in the Lynx "novice" mode is now discoverable through menus, but the Lynx keys will still work.
- 8-bit character support in MacCurses, so the default character set is now MacRoman, and there is a custom one-way converter to turn representable UTF-8 sequences into MacRoman. Numeric character references are turned into UTF-8 and converted through the same process. Much less mojibake!
- Standard File Package save dialogues for both saving and printing, and you can save to any volume (prior versions were limited to the same one the temporary file was saved to).
- Line scrolling with the live scrollbar as well as the previous page scrolling introduced in beta 4. Works with scrollwheels too.
- Command-click to download, Option-click for info.
- Fixed stalls with keydowns.
- Purring cat.
