MacLynx beta 6 now available
« on: April 09, 2025, 06:00:07 AM »
From our news page:

Quote from: http://macos9lives.com/
Cameron Kaiser released beta 6 of his Lynx port for (classic) Mac OS. The text-based browser is now available in a special PowerPC version too. Mostly UI improvements and bugfixes have been added. A detailed post on the developer's blog goes into the difficulties with this update and his future plans for MacLynx, like adding built-in Crypto Ancienne for onboard TLS. Download MacLynx from the official website.

Exciting to see a PPC only build. I've been using beta 5 for quite some time, both on my IIci and the Mac Mini and it's great to see it being worked on! Any other MacLynx users here? Kinda feels like this will be the future of accessing stuff on the corporate WWW.

I tried it plenty before, but I personally prefer GUI browsers. Still, it's good to have this sort of development.

HTTPS without any middlemen like MachTen or even MPW would be great to have, though, for sure!
