Version
3.0 of the Offpunk
offline-first, command-line web, Gemini, and
Gopher
browser has been released. Notable changes in this release include
integration of the unmerdify
library to "remove cruft" from web sites, the xkcdpunk
standalone tool for viewing xkcd
comics in the terminal, and a cookies command to enable
browsing web sites (such as LWN.net) while being logged in.

Something wonderful happened on the road leading to 3.0: Offpunk
became a true cooperative effort. Offpunk 3.0 is probably the first
release that contains code I didn't review line-by-line. Unmerdify (by
Vincent Jousse), all the translation infrastructure (by the
always-present JMCS), and the community packaging effort are areas for
which I barely touched the code.

So, before anything else, I want to thank all the people involved
for sharing their energy and motivation. I'm very grateful for every
contribution the project received. I'm also really happy to see "old
names" replying from time to time on the mailing list. It makes me
feel like there's an emerging Offpunk community where everybody can
contribute at their own pace.

There were a lot of changes between 2.8 and 3.0, which probably
means some new bugs and some regressions. We count on you, yes, you!,
to report them and make 3.1 a lot more stable. It's as easy at typing
"bugreport" in offpunk!

Offpunk" page to get started.
