After four years of development, Offpunk 3.0 marks a significant milestone for the command-line Web, Gemini, and Gopher browser designed for offline work. This release represents the first version containing substantial community contributions, with code from Vincent Jousse's Umerdify library, translation infrastructure by JMCS, and community packaging efforts. The developer, Ploum, emphasizes that this cooperative effort makes 3.0 a true community-driven project.

Key technical improvements include the new Openk tool for opening files in terminals or preferred software, XKCDpunk for displaying comics directly in terminals, and enhanced image handling with larger default sizes even for Gemini content. The browser now integrates Unmerdify to extract article content from thousands of websites using FiveFilters' site-config rules, falling back to readability when needed. Social features like share and reply functions add new capabilities, while cookie import support enables browsing logged-in websites like LWN.NET.

The release also introduces preset themes, better redirect handling, and improved RSS/Atom feed discovery. With support for Catalan, Galician, and Dutch translations, Offpunk 3.0 demonstrates the project's growing international reach. Users are encouraged to report bugs to help stabilize the upcoming 3.1 version, marking a new chapter for this niche but dedicated offline-first browser community.
