+'astro' is a gemini client for your terminal. It only requires a POSIX shell, coreutils and OpenSSL.

+
+astro strongly relies on the power of the (POSIX) shell and coreutils like 'less', 'sed' and the like. For TLS encrypted communication OpenSSL is used.
+
+=> https://github.com/blmayer/astro It has been created by B.L. Mayer
+My fork's only addition is link numbering on page rendering.
+
+## key features
+* bookmarks
+* page history
+* regex searches within pages (using less)
+* basic client certificate support (no autocreation of client certs currently)
+
+## non-features
+* no inlining of any link type
+* no caching of page content
+* no persistent history
+
+### colors
+The actual colors used depend on your terminal palette:
+* heading 1: light red
+* heading 2: light yellow
+* heading 3: light green
+* gemini link on same capsule: light cyan
+* gemini link to another capsule: dark cyan
+* non-gemini link: light magenta
+* preformatted text: light gray

Perl maybe considered oldschool by many, but it is still very good in text processing - which is the very core of gemini. Therefore it is obvious to use perl for cgi with gemini.

+I've made some contributions to astro, a POSIX shell compatible gemini client, in the last weeks. Most of the stuff was upstreamed, so we now have a gemini client that only requires a shell, the coreutils and OpenSSL that is almost en par with cgmnlm. A few features are lacking, but i think we eventually get there.
+=> astro.gmi my astro fork @ sr.ht
+A successor to cgmnlm? Maybe...we'll see.
+
+### 2023-01-17 quo vadis cgmnlm?
Not a surprising move ddevault finally marked gmisrv and - more important for me - gmni, the upstream project for cgmnlm, as unmaintained. This has no immediate effect on cgmnlm, it will continue to work for the time being. But this means that we should not expect relevant contributions to upstream anymore. I'd happily review and merge patches that are submitted to me via sourcehut, codeberg or mails.
For the moment (unless someone steps up and is willing to take the effort) we are likely stuck at BearSSL - which means no TLSv1.3 unfortunately.
