The current version of lynx is 2.8.5

It's available at
        http://lynx.isc.org/
        ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx/lynx2.8.5/
2.8.6 Development & patches:
        http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html

2005-06-02 (2.8.6dev.12)
* add rw.po, vi.po from
    http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/lynx/
* modify ".lss" files to work equally well on terminals setup with white text
  on black background, or the reverse.  This also required fixing a few places
  in LYsubwindow() and curses_w_style() to make window backgrounds use the
  colors given in the ".lss" default- and normal-colors lines -TD
* make ".lss" example files somewhat readable by modifying parser to remove
  blanks from the color description lines and modifying the example files to
  use this feature -TD
* modify scripts/cfg2html.pl to use strict variable checking, Getopt::Std
  to eliminate a uninitialized variable warning -TD
* modified fix for slang 2.0 which makes it clearer that the last parameter
  of SLexpand_escaped_string is for UTF-8 -JED
* when SOURCE_CACHE_MEMORY is used, avoid repeated realloc's of the same
  memory chunk (really annoying for a long document) -LP
* HTChunk extended to a linked list of chunks, additional put methods added.
  Useful for pool infrastructure -LP
* add ".h" to .SUFFIXES rule in src/chrtrans/makefile.in to work around change
  made in NetBSD "make" late in 2003, incorporated into the 2.0 release.
  The CVS change notes:
          Trim .SUFFIXES to only contain those used in this file.
  (reported by Stef Caunter, comments by Klaus Klein and Martin Husemann) -TD
* modify LYhighlight() to allow for the case where a form link extends for
  several lines.  It was not providing enough padding to fill in the "_"
  characters past the first line of the link -TD
* modify LYwaddnstr() to account for the case where LYhighlight calls it to
  display a link which extends beyond the current line, i.e., it should be
  wrapped.  When lynx is built to use curses-pads, the highlighting was instead
  truncated since it was computed according to the pad's limits.  Fixing this
  exposes some related problems with off-by-one's in GridText.c -TD
* correct parsing of "key 0xNN" lines in command-scripts, had omitted a "!"
  to invert a check (report by Silvio Moioli) -TD
* correct off-by-one in expression for LYHideCursor(), since dev.6 changes
  modified the LYcolLimit variable, changing it from the last usable column
  value to the number of columns (report by DK) -TD
* correct expression in HText_appendCharacter() which was simplified in
  2.8.5dev.4, but broke a comparison used for text-justification -TD 
* adjust wide-character offset computation in HText_trimHightext() to account
  for soft newlines, i.e., the cell reserved to show continuation lines -TD
* modify source-view toggle to keep the current anchor visible.  Toggling
  source view may change the line number on which the anchor is found,
  requiring some adjustment.  This feature is implemented only for source
  cached pages -TD
* remove obsolete ifdef in LYwaddnstr() for ncurses 5.1's experimental UTF-8
  support -TD
* modify HTConfirmCookie() and statusline() to allow cookie prompt message in
  Japanese to not be truncated when using wide-curses -TD
* modify logic for locale_charset configuration variable so it is not modified
  simply by saving the .lynxrc while in running in a non-locale configuration.
  That does not alter the display charset used by lynx -TD
* correct calculation of extra space available for justification in
  split_line() for the wide-curses configuration.  Changes from dev.6
  made this count formatting control characters twice, resulting in some
  lines too long when justification was enabled -TD
* improve description of command-line option syntax in the manpage, including
  noting how to find the default values for most options (Debian #292393) -TD
* modify is_true/is_false macros for processing command-line options to accept
  "true" and "false" strings for consistency with the lynx.cfg parser, and to
  ignore case of the boolean option values -TD
* add -notitle option to suppress title line and following blank line to
  maximize screen use for small displays (request by Daniele Baggio) -TD
* add -nomargins option to suppress left/right margins to maximize screen use
  for small displays (request by Daniele Baggio) -TD
* add null-pointer checks in HText_setLastOptionValue() to guard against empty
  <select> (report by Al Viro) -TD
* fixes to allow compiling with slang 2.0 prerelease 5 -GV
* fix to avoid divide-by-zero in ws_netread() -GV
* modify ifdef for popup_choice() to work with handle_LYK_LINEWRAP_TOGGLE() on
  NetBSD 2.0 (report by Gabor Z Papp) -TD
