Hi Release team,

Version 0.11.5 of ELinks is a new upstream bug-fix release that fixes
some very important bugs over 0.11.4 (already in Lenny).

The complete list of changes from 0.11.4 to 0.11.5 is:

* critical bug 1027 in user SMJS: make elinks.keymaps treat null and
  "none" as equivalent actions, avoiding a segfault
* critical bug 1030: an assertion used to fail in the search dialog
  on systems that lack a usable <regex.h>
* major bug 503: various fixes in parsing and updating of elinks.conf
* bug 698: Attach controls to the intended form even if it is
  incorrectly nested in a table.  (Was broken in 0.11.4.)
* build bug 1021: fixed uninitialized variable in http_got_header
* build: don't use libgnutls-openssl, which is no longer GPLv2
  compatible in GnuTLS 2.2.0

One of these (bug 698) is a regression from 0.11.3 to 0.11.4

Would you consider a freeze exception for 0.11.5?  I will prepare an
upload in case a freeze exception is granted for 0.11.5.

Cheers,

Giridhar
