There are several changes mentioned in the CHANGELOG file, but mostly
with other features and functions. Remember, the biggest problem with
links 2.1 wasn't it's javascript, but not supporting other things like
cookies and http authorization. Both of those seem to have been fixed
now.

I like it. For me, spidermonkey was just an apt-get command. At this
time, I no longer use the cat except in some scripts I haven't updated.
The links 2.1 javascript is more complete, but elinks has
features not in links2.1.
I start out on a site with elinks and try links 2.1 if I have problems
with javascript.
Hope this helps.
