See ChangeLog for a complete list of changes, bugfixes and new features.
Since some of the new features (like color support) could be disliked by current
users of ELinks the old version will be reimported as elink04. As suggested by
wiz@ in http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2004/01/04/0039.html.
- no longer CONFLICTS with links{-gui}
Differences to Links
So far, we have the following major differences to Links:
* Much cleaner code
* Support for a Lua scripting
* Enhanced cookies support
* IPv6 support
* HTTP Authentication support
* Proxy authentication support
* Much more powerful configuration
* Hiearchic bookmarks (Links-2.x has these as well)
* Download resuming support
* Mailcap support
* Also a lot of smaller but still pleasant features ;)
* More active development
Too many changes to list them all, see ChangeLog for details.

This is the elinks tree - intended to provide feature-rich version of links,
however not rock-stable and dedicated mainly for testing. Its purpuose is to
make alternative to links, until Mikulas will have some time to maintain it,
and to test and tune various patches for Mikulas to be able to include them
in the official links releases.
