 I was going by the labels/names used on the main download 
 http://elinks.or.cz/download/ page. I think it is just that the rest 
 of the site hasn't been updated to reflect this. I.e. this page 
 http://elinks.or.cz/download.html still lists 0.11 as the stable 
 release. The main page http://elinks.or.cz/ still refers to 0.11 as 
 current stable and 0.12pre6 as current unstable. However, the git tree 
 also hasn't been tagged with a 0.13 release either, so...

 ...I'll ask upstream about them at least tagging things in git, even 
 if, for whatever reason, they can't update the rest of the site.

 Yeah, I can't say I thought that was a great idea either. Thanks for 
 the review and the advice.
