I'm forwarding this for those who may be interested. I expect it to show up 
in Debian testing soon.

The current version of lynx is 2.8.8

It's available at

2017-04-28 (2.8.9dev.12)
* correct logic in cell2char(), which gave up too early in determining the
   number of cells needed for a multibyte string in the editable text-fields
   (Debian #841155) -TD
* improve manual page discussion of environment variables, prompted by
   comments in Debian #791452, which overlooked the fact that details of proxy
   behavior are found in the user guide -TD
* cleanup some of the user's guide formatting, e.g., for quote-characters -TD
* consistently use "_" in command-line options table and manual page, to work
   with program logic that treats "-" as "_", but not the reverse (report by
   Larry Hines) -TD
* improved several configure macros:  CF_ADD_CFLAGS, CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS,
   CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MATH_LIB, CF_PROG_LINT, CF_SRAND,
   CF_XOPEN_SOURCE -TD
* modify Windows makefile to allow SSL_LIBS and SSL_DEFS to be overridden,
   reflecting naming-incompatibility in recent OpenSSL development -TD
* modify ncurses-specific code to allow its TERMINAL struct to be opaque -TD 
* refine special case of server Content-Type from 2.8.7dev.11 changes to
   decompress files offered for download when the server has gzip'd them
   (report by TH) -TD
* amend comparision from 2.8.8dev.10 changes to handle slang specially
   (report/testcase by TH) -TD
* minor cleanup of UCDomap.c -TD
* build-fix for color-style with leak-checking -TD
* amend merge/fixes from
	http://en.sourceforge.jp/project/lynx-win32-pata
   as well as problem introduced by 2.8.8dev.6 cleanup -TH
* update ca.po, from
     http://translationproject.org/latest/lynx
* tidy whitespace in lynx.cfg (report by David Niklas)
* fix two more typos in the list of ENABLE_LYNXRC in lynx.cfg -TD
* remove a repeated item for SEND_USERAGENT from lynx.cfg (Larry Hynes)
* accept userinfo in a URL, subject to override by -auth option or -pauth
   options.  According to RFC-3986, this is deprecated, but testing shows other
   clients support it -TD
* fix several minor warnings reported by Coverity -TD
* remove redundant asserts which follow a check that leads to outofmem(),
   added in 2.8.8dev.4 to appease clang 2.6, since clang 3.x understands
   no-return function declarations -TD
* when converting host+params to idna, temporarily separate the params to
   avoid a warning from idna_to_ascii_8z() -TD
* improve warning messages from 2.8.9dev.11 fixes when stripping user/password,
   dropping an unnecessary message and fixing a case where all-punctuation
   user name was not logged (report by Axel Beckert) -TD
* update config.guess (2017-03-05), config.sub (2017-02-07)
