• Offpunk 3.0 released

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Feb 10 06:40:09 2026

    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!

    See the "Installing
    Offpunk" page to get started.
