In revision 1.15 of dns.c (as it was called way back then), pasky
backported a fix from Links 0.97pre2 to try gethostbyaddr before
trying gethostbyname for DNS lookups:
MacOS address resolution fix (Aldy Hernandez) (from 0.97pre2)
However, that fix introduced a bug, because it was calling gethostbyaddr
on all addresses, not just IP addresses. Mikulas fixed that bug in Links
0.98:
Do not call gethostbyaddr when name is not ip address (it should avoid
some useless nameserver queries)'
This fix was never backported to ELinks. Until today.
This commit is functionally the same as the fix in Links 0.98, plus it uses
inet_aton for great correctness!
This fixes a bug reported in #elinks by tnks, whereby lookups for
yubnub.org resulted in 121.117.98.110 == 0x7975626E == 'y', 'u', 'b', 'n'.
I believe that it also fixes bug 691 (which is already closed with a
workaround).

Revert commit 2d6840b9bd9d3a7a45a5ad92b4e98ff7224d6d97. It is causing
passive FTP via IPv6 to fail on ftp.funet.fi. ELinks sends PASV and
the server says "425 You cannot use PASV on IPv6 connections. Use EPSV
instead."

[ 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 ]
