This is a short summary of code metrics showing how lynx has grown from release to release. It also shows how the original codebase has been almost completely replaced by contributors after the release of lynx 2.4.2 in 1996. The numbers shown are for lines of text, to keep the presentation simple.

That added 7216 lines of change since it was not possible to completely match the hand-edited indention scheme. Note that the actual fraction of remaining original codebase is more likely at the lower bound, e.g., about 8% rather than 12%. Current lynx releases contain a large amount of text other than C code. That includes plain text, html, message libraries, custom and generated scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a count of contributions (from CHANGES and docs/CHANGES2.8) since the start of the 2.8 series: 0.5 AJL 3 Al Gilman 1 Alexei Anatski 2 Alexey Dobriyan 1 Alois Maier 2 Andrew Belov 3.5 Andrey A Chernov 1 Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 1 Arnaud Giersch 1 Atsuhito Kohda 23.5 Bela Lubkin 1 Bill Nottingham 3.5 Bill Schiavo 2 Binh Do 1 Brett Lymn 46.3 Brian J Pardy 1 Carlton Anderson 1 Charles Karney 1 Chris Adams 1 Christian Hudon 1 Christian Jensen 2.5 Christian Weisgerber 1 Crouton 1 Dan Jacobson 1 David Combs 1 David Henderson 0.5 David Woolley 1 Dick Wesseling 121.7 Doug Kaufman 1 Duncan Simpson 2.5 Eduardo Chappa 2 Emanuele Giaquinta 1 Eric Brun 25 External 280.5 Foteos Macrides 1 Frank Heckenbach 4.3 Frederic L W Meunier 1 Frederick P Herrmann 1 Georg Drenkhahn 1 George Lindholm 19 Gisle Vanem 1 Glenn Nielsen 26 Hataguchi Takeshi 1 Heikki Kantola 0.5 Helen Sommer 23 Henry Nelson 1 Hiram Lester Jr 8.5 Hiroyuki Senshu 3 Hynek Med 0.3 Igor B Poretsky 84.8 Ilya Zakharevich 6.5 Ismael Cordeiro 2 J Kevin Ternes 1 Jacob Poon 27.5 James E Spath 1 Jan Hlavacek 2.5 Jason F McBrayer 1 Jean-Yves Levesque 1 Jeffrey C Honig 1 Jens Schmalzing 1 Jens Seidel 1 Jerome Lauret 0.3 Johannes Hromadka 35 John Bley 2 John Davis 4 John E Davis 1 John Hawkinson 1 John Nowlin 2 Jonathan Sergent 2 Julian Coleman 3 Karl Eichwalder 1 Karl-Andre Skevik 29.3 Kim DeVaughn 707.3 Klaus Weide 1 Lalo Martins 1 Larry Virden 15.8 Larry W Virden 11 Laura Eaves 344.3 Leonid Pauzner 1 Liam Davis 1 Marc Huber 0.3 Marek Kubita 2 Masashi Fujita 1 Masayasu Ishikawa 1 Masayuki Hatta 1 Matt Kraal 1 Michael Sobolev 6.5 Michael Warner 2 Michel Such 2 Mike Castle 2 Munechika Sumikawa 1 Nigel Horne 3 OOPS 1 Pat Walsh 1 Paul D Smith 50.5 Paul Gilmartin 1 Peter Canning 26.3 Philip Webb 14 Philippe De Muyter 1 Rado Smiljanic 1 Randall 1 Risto Widenius 1 Rob Cameron 1 Ryan Nielsen 2 Scott Bigham 6 Sergey Svishchev 1 Serhii Hlodin 15 Sinan Kaan Yerli 4.8 Stef Caunter 1 Stepan Kasal 1 Tadayoshi Okuma 1 Thomas Braun 1613.8 Thomas E Dickey 5.5 Thorsten Glaser 2 Tim Larson 1 Timur Birsh 2 Tomas Vanhala 1.5 Ulf Harnhammar 6.5 Victor Schneider 2 Ville Herva 86 Vlad Harchev 37.5 Wayne Buttles 1 Wesley Morgan 0.5 nsh@horae.dti.ne.jp 3838 Total
