Minimal web browser links 2.26 release

Links 2.26, a minimalistic web browser, has been released, which supports both console and graphical modes. When working in console mode, it is possible to display colors and control the mouse, if it is supported by the terminal used (for example, xterm). Graphics mode supports image output and font smoothing. In all modes, the display of tables and frames is provided. The browser supports the HTML 4.0 specification but ignores CSS and JavaScript. There is also support for bookmarks, SSL/TLS, background downloads and menu system control. When running, links consumes about 5 MB of RAM in text mode and 20 MB in graphic mode.

Among the changes in the new release:

  • Added support for DNS over HTTPS mode (DoH, DNS over HTTPS).
  • Added support for images in WEBP format.
  • The ability to call an external handler for the "gopher://" protocol is provided.
  • Updated default bookmarks.
  • Improved performance on systems without the getaddrinfo function.
  • Added handling of the situation when the "TD" tag in the tables is specified not inside the "TR" tag.
  • Implemented the ability to attach a socket to a network interface to bind requests to a user-selected IP address.
