Only 28 years after HTTP/1.0 was obsoleted.

I'm excited!

TIL if you save a file in #w3m and you start the file name with a '|' w3m opens a pipe for you and send the file content to it.

E.g. press S to save the current rendered document, when asked for the file name insert '|gzip > /tmp/file.gz' to save a compressed version.

This is completely undocumented and exists at least since 2011.

Today I took the time to update the NEWS file. Here are some features that where added to w3m since I forked it:

- Allow to limit the text width with -cols or through an option
- Enable re-ordering of buffers in the stack menu
- Add support for gophers, gopher with SSL
- Allow to close the last buffer with BACK
- Prepend https instead of http if no scheme is provided
- Allow to change the dictionay prompt
- Make 'skip to content' links work
- Add command to jump to the <main> tag

See https://git.sr.ht/~rkta/w3m/tree/master/item/NEWS for the complete list.

Thanks to all the contributors who send in patches and helped testing.
