w3m: WWW wo Miru Tool
=====================

w3m is a pager with WWW capability.  It IS a pager, but it can be used
as a text-mode WWW browser.

This package <https://sr.ht/~rkta/w3m> is forked from the Debian version
<https://github.com/tats/w3m>, which was forked from the original version
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m/>.

There are three important branches: master, next and oldstable. Branch master
is the current stable version where the next release will be made from. Branch
next serves as a release candidate for branch master. It contains new features
and other patches that are staged to get merged into branch master after some
time of testing in day to day usage. Branch next will be rebased and force
pushed regularly. Branch oldstable contains a very conservative set of bug
fixes to the last release of tats/w3m.

Additionally there is a branch gemini which is just branch master but with a
patch to add support for the gemini protocol and hypertext format.

For historical reason most active development happens using quilt. The
quilt patch series is regularly pushed to branch patches.
