I wonder why you didn't post this to comp.infosystems.gopher? Oh
well, not cross-posting in case there was a good reason. I'm about
to start talking about the Linux build in a MSDOS group though (I
haven't got a DOS system with networking set up).

Gopherus v1.2 [19 Jan 2020]:
- [new] bookmarks ("b" key),

This is a very needed addition. Would be nice to be able to
customise the entry names though. Hmm, ~/.gopherus.bookmarks
looks fairly editable... Yep, OK I've found out how to do that.

- [new] full terminal width used now (no longer limited to 80 columns),
- [new] all files from current folder can be downloaded by pressing
F10,

Great.

- [fix] function keys react properly when used with the CURSES
interface,

Ah, that wasn't just a problem for me then.

Other notes:
^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think it should be mentioned in build.txt that the Linux build
now depends on ncursesw instead of ordinary ncurses. I didn't have
the ncursesw dev package installed, and it took me a while to figure
out what was going wrong on as I knew that ncurses-dev was
installed.

Performance is much better now when scrolling down gophermaps (with
the Linux/ncursesw build). It doesn't trim the list of sdf.org users
for being too long now either.

External viewers and a configuration file would be nice, though
already planned in todo.txt. For the latter, it would be nice if it
also had an option to set a default downloads directory.

No good reason, that was my omission. Fixed now, thanks for bringing
that up.

Indeed, the file is a crude gophermap - easy to edit. I did not add any
way to customize the entries within the UI simply because I don't need
it myself (and I am not interested in building the boring logic for
that). :)

Good point.

Happy to hear.

All planned, yes. Although I cannot promise any timeline. Life keeps me
pretty busy, cannot invest as much time into hobbies as I'd like to...

Thanks for your feedback!

UTF8 support? Under DOS? Wow.
