Integrate Lynx development version

During Lynx page development, you can use the Lynx Trace and Lynx Recorder tools for debugging, analysis, and locate issues. To avoid impacting production performance, the official release version of Lynx does not include Lynx Trace and Lynx Recorder features.
For developer convenience, Lynx also provides a development version (with a -dev suffix in the version number). Starting from release/3.4, Lynx provides a dev version for each release version (the dev version uses the same release version number with a -dev suffix). You can integrate the Lynx development version by following the steps below.

INFO

You can find the development version corresponding to your release version at github.
