This was a big release. A lot of backend code changed in order to support HTML rendering. This is a bespoke HTML renderer and there are occasional rendering glitches in HTML pages but it is pretty solid overall. Bug reports are welcome via github or email.
For a demo of the HTML rendering capabilities, see my archive of an old 90s web favorite of mine, Fravia's Page of Reverse Engineering:
I think it is kind of neat to see HTML served over gopher like this!
