Discontinued?

Tim@ marked w3m discontinued on 3 Dec. 2015 in “Comparison of web browsers”. Is he wrong or has no one gotten around to updating w3m’s article page by adding that it is discontinued?

Not sure. Similar question asked 2017-09 at https://sourceforge.net/p/w3m/discussion/122555/thread/2d43cfe8/?limit=25#9ea0. And if you go to the homepage at http://w3m.sourceforge.net/index.en.html and try to view the mailing list archive at http://www.sic.med.tohoku.ac.jp/~satodai/w3m-dev-en/ you'll find it's a dead link. With that said, the debian version looks to be getting new code (which you can see at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/w3m or at the github mirror over at https://github.com/tats/w3m/commits/master).II | (t - c) 16:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

most notable feature

That's an odd most notable feature (particularly because the given source isn't as enthused as the editor who added that comment). It doesn't illustrate a difference versus other text-browsers TEDickey (talk) 19:14, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
