I have started <URL:http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/release2-8.html>.
It's obviously not complete, but at least it is a place to point to.
(Scott should decide whether that's OK as a semi-permanent location.)
The summary of changes there is off the top of my head, just some changes
that came to mind that might be important to a lot of users. I have
probably overlooked a lot of things; if there is something you feel should
be listed there, please speak up.
There currently is no "pre-release" code set different from the usual
"development code". The changes that come to mind to make the devel-code
-> Lynx 2.8 switch are basically replacing the string 2.7.1 (or 2-7-1) in
a lot of places, an renaming "CHANGES.new" to "CHANGES". (Is there
something I have overlooked, Henry? Some SIMPLEDIR changes remaining
to be done? You haven't updated SIMPLEDIR.gz in a while.)
