Re: [Lynx-dev] HTML5 meta charset attribute (fwd)

[Karen Lewellen]

Here was the discussion thread, or part of at.
in Oct.  2011, you were unsure when it would be added.
So I am now wondering if patch, which was provided in a post included in 
the same  thread was incorporated.

2.8.8dev.10 - I'm not sure.  It's awkward since it's a small change...

Right now the programs demanding the most time are dialog and xterm.  I have 
some changes that I'd like to make to lynx (display problems with the maximize 
feature added for win32), and have only gotten from outside just this one patch 
(there was a part of another patch...).

Usually what gets my attention is (a) big bug or (b) big patch.
