* Changes in Wget 1.6
** Administrative changes.
*** Maintainership. Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer. Hrvoje still participates
occasionally, and both are being helped by many other people.
*** Web page. Thanks to Jan Prikryl, Wget has an "official" web page.
Take a look at:
http://sunsite.dk/wget/
*** Anonymous CVS. Thanks to ever-helpful Karsten Thygesen, Wget
sources are now available at an anonymous CVS server. Take a look at
the web page for downloading instructions.
** New -K / --backup-converted / backup_converted = on option causes files
modified due to -k to be saved with a .orig prefix before being changed. When
using -N as well, it is these .orig files that are compared against the server.
** New --follow-tags / follow_tags = ... option allows you to restrict
Wget to following only certain HTML tags when doing a recursive
retrieval. -G / --ignore-tags / ignore_tags = ... is just the
opposite -- all tags but the ones you specify will be followed.
** New --waitretry / waitretry = SECONDS option allows waiting between retries
of failed downloads. Wget will use "linear" backoff, waiting 1 second after the
first failure, 2 after the second, up to SECONDS. waitretry is set to 10 by
default in the system wgetrc.
** New -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites = on option causes
Wget to download all ancillary files necessary to display a given HTML
page properly (e.g. inlined images).
** New -E / --html-extension / html_extension = on option causes Wget
to append ".html" to text/html filenames not ending in regexp
"\.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?".
** New type of .wgetrc command -- "lockable Boolean". Can be set to on, off,
always, or never. This allows the .wgetrc to override the commandline. So far,
passive_ftp is the only .wgetrc command which takes a lockable Boolean.
** A number of new translation files have been added.
** New --bind-address / bind_address = <address> option for people on hosts
bound to multiple IP addresses.
** wget now accepts (illegal per HTTP spec) relative URLs in HTTP redirects.
