[ Backported from commit ce05aa1f37 in ELinks
0.12.GIT. The earlier commit 0b7a56f89a
changes the CONFIG_UTF8 variant of set_hline, and that does not exist in
ELinks 0.11. --KON ]
And log this in NEWS, although that may have to be reverted later if
it turns out this change just hides a real bug elsewhere in ELinks.

Use admonishment elements, especially WARNING for insecure temporary files.
Don't say anything about enabling system functions.
Linuxgames.com no longer uses <CENTER>.
AppWatch.com was shut down on 2001-08-31.

Use the http: AsciiDoc macro instead of link:http:.
Identify the supported version of Lua. Mention the related bug 742.
"Help | About" nowadays groups scripting backends under "Scripting".
Document proxy_for_hook.
The enable_systems_functions function has been removed.
The setlocale function is nowadays called os.setlocale, and it does
affect the operation of ELinks.
The execute function does not return the exit code.
Document tmpname, edit_bookmark_dialog, xdialog, set_option, get_option.
Document elinks_home.
However, I did not update the example Lua scripts.

If the codepage option was set to utf-8 (a special codepage) it would
end up being out of range when used for the initialy selected menu item.
[ From commit a72a0dab08 in ELinks 0.12.GIT.
ELinks 0.11 doesn't support UTF-8 as the terminal codepage, but the
System codepage could cause a similar assertion failure. ELinks 0.11.2
did not yet have this bug. --KON ]
... mainly bittorrent:// and bittorrent://x
The BitTorrent URL is supposed to contain an embedded URL pointing to a
metainfo file. If this is not the case a "custom" error message will be
shown. Also fixes calling of free_list() on an uninitialized list.
Closes bug 729.
[ From commit b61d8d06d9 in ELinks
0.12.GIT. This introduces a new string that perhaps won't be
translated in time for 0.11.3, but I think it's better to display
an error message in the wrong language than crash. --KON ]

[ From commit 947c1730a6 in ELinks 0.12.GIT.
This crash occurs in ELinks 0.11.0 but not in 0.10.6. --KON ]
This fixes a problem with fragment references that was reported
by Thomas Adam.

The secure file saving code plays some shenanigans with the umask.
Previously, the code could fail to restore the old umask when certain libc
calls failed: malloc, mkstemp, fdopen, and fopen. This resulted in
unrelated code creating files with the wrong umode. Specifically, the
download code's automatic directory creation was creating directories
without the execute permission bit.
Thanks to Quiznos for reporting and helping to track the problem down.
[ Backported from commit 7f0fb0440c in
ELinks 0.12.GIT. The general download code in 0.11.2.GIT does not
automatically create directories but the BitTorrent code does. --KON ]
Revert 8bedf25bf8. Different versions
of ELinks call the Python goto_url_hook with different arguments:
- goto_url_hook(current) in 0.11.0, 0.11.1, and 0.11.2.
- goto_url_hook(new, current) in 0.11.2.GIT since 2007-11-27, commit
8bedf25bf8 which I'm now reverting.
No released version of ELinks has used this variant.
- goto_url_hook(new) in 0.12.GIT since 2007-01-01, commit
26473f72f5. The hook can call
elinks.current_url() if desired.
I think it will be less confusing to users if we drop the middle
variant and make the rest of the stable 0.11 branch call the hook in
the same way as 0.11.2 did. The difference will then be only between
the 0.11 and 0.12 branches.
These parts of contrib/python/README.Python are not accurate for
ELinks 0.11.2.GIT:
- It suggests using --with-python=/usr/local, but configure.in treats
that as equivalent to --without-python and contains a comment:
# FIXME: If withval is a valid directory append it to PATH
# so that you can specify one of several Python installations.
- It suggests creating a libpython.so symbolic link, but as of commit
421d04093a, the configure script no
longer tries to link with a bare -lpython but rather always appends
a version number.
Before this patch, init_python would crash trying to set up the
PYTHONPATH environment variable. Now it omits the home directory
from the variable in that case.
[ Related to commit 78bd416dc0 in ELinks

Create and immediately destroy a context when initialising the SMJS
document scripting module, because SMJS crashes on exit if there has
been no context created since it started, which is the case if one does
not load any documents.
