Verlauf

Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

felinks is the Homebrew package name for the maintained ELinks continuation. It installs the elinks executable, a text-mode browser descended from Links and focused on terminal browsing across HTTP, FTP, Gopher, Gemini, NNTP, Finger, and related protocols.

Projektgeschichte

The ELinks README gives unusually direct historical context: ELinks began as a development version and fork of Links, with a more liberal feature policy than the original Links project. The fork aimed to test and tune new features while still producing stable branches.

The same README explains the later felinks phase. After the old ELinks team lost interest, felinks continued development from the original ELinks master branch. The repository was renamed back to elinks on 2020-12-01 with Petr's approval, while Homebrew kept the formula name felinks to distinguish this continuation.

The modern release stream is active. The NEWS file lists releases from 0.16 through 0.19, including 0.17.0 in 2023 with the XDG config path change, 0.18.0 in 2024, 0.19.0 in 2025, and 0.19.1 in 2026.

Adoptionsgeschichte

ELinks has long been packaged as elinks across Linux distributions and other package collections, while Homebrew uses felinks for this maintained fork. The supplied metadata shows packaging in Alpine, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Scoop, Ubuntu, and openSUSE, consistent with a portable terminal-browser niche.

Its adoption is sustained less by mainstream web browsing and more by terminal, SSH, recovery, accessibility, and automation use cases where a text-mode browser still fits.

Wie es verwendet wird

The manual describes ELinks as a lynx-like character-mode browser with colors, table rendering, background downloading, menu-driven configuration, tabbed browsing, and slim code. It handles local files and remote URLs, primarily HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP, with additional protocol support for BitTorrent, finger, Gopher, SMB, and NNTP.

Modern releases add and maintain features that matter to terminal users: XDG config paths, libcurl support, CSS and JavaScript experiments, Gemini support, sixel or kitty inline image work, iframe support, and scripting hooks.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

felinks matters because it is a living branch of a classic terminal-browser family. For package nerds, it sits in the same lineage as lynx, Links, and w3m, but with a feature-heavy philosophy and a continued release cadence.

It is also a case study in naming and continuity: the upstream repository is now elinks again, the executable is elinks, but some package managers retain felinks to identify the maintained fork lineage.

Zeitleiste

Pre-2010s: ELinks begins as a feature-liberal development fork of Links.
2019: GitHub releases for the maintained continuation include v0.13.0.
2020: Repository renamed to elinks on 2020-12-01 with approval from Petr.
2023: ELinks 0.17.0 moves saved configuration to ~/.config/elinks or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/elinks.
2026: ELinks 0.19.1 released on 2026-02-07.

Related projects

Links is the direct ancestor project described by the ELinks README.
Lynx and w3m are peer text-mode browsers in the same package-manager niche.
Chawan is adjacent in newer terminal-browser culture; ELinks release notes mention support for Chawan mailcap extensions.
