Changelog:
* Changes in Wget 1.13.4
** Now --version and --help work again.
** Fix a build error on solaris 10 sparc.
** Now --timestamping and --continue work well together.
** Return a network failure when FTP downloads fail and --timestamping
is specified.
* Changes in Wget 1.13.3
** Support HTTP/1.1
** Now by default the GNU TLS library for secure connections, instead of
OpenSSL.
** Fix some portability issues.
** Handle properly malformed status line in a HTTP response.
** Ignore zero length domains in $no_proxy.
** Set new cookies after an authorization failure.
** Exit with failure if -k is specified and -O is not a regular file.
** Cope better with unclosed html tags.
** Print diagnostic messages to stderr, not stdout.
** Do not use an additional HEAD request when --content-disposition is used,
but use directly GET.
** Report the average transfer speed correctly when multiple URL's are specified
and -c influences the transferred data amount.
** GNU TLS backend works again.
** Now --timestamping and --continue works well together.
** By default, on server redirects, use the original URL to get the
local file name. Close CVE-2010-2252. This introduces a
backward-incompatibility; any script that relies on the old
behaviour must use --trust-server-names.
** Fix a problem when -k is used and some URLs are specified trough
CSS.
** Convert correctly URLs that need to be encoded to local files when following
links.
** Use persistent connections with proxies supporting them.
** Print the total download time as part of the summary for recursive downloads.
** Now it is possible to specify a different startup configuration file trough
the --config option.
** Fix an infinite loop with the error '<filename> has sprung into existence'
on a network error and -nc is used.
** Now --adjust-extension does not modify the file extension if the file ends
in .htm.
** Support HTTP/1.1 307 redirects keep request method.
** Now --no-parent doesn't fetch undesired files if HTTP and HTTPS are used
by the same host on different pages.
** Do not attempt to remove the file if it is not in the accept rules but
it is the output destination file.
** Introduce `show_all_dns_entries' to print all IP addresses corresponding to
a DNS name when it is resolved.
below).
** Mailing list MOVED to bug-wget@gnu.org
** SECURITY FIX: It had been possible to trick Wget into accepting
SSL certificates that don't match the host name, through the trick of
embedding NUL characters into the certs' common name. Fixed by Joao
Ferreira <joao@joaoff.com>.
** Added support for CSS. This includes:
- Parsing links from CSS files, and from CSS content found in HTML
style tags and attributes.
- Supporting conversion of links found within CSS content, when
--convert-links is specified.
- Ensuring that CSS files end in the ".css" filename extension,
when --convert-links is specified.
CSS support in Wget is thanks to Ted Mielczarek
<ted.mielczarek@gmail.com>.
** Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC
3987). When support is enabled (requires libidn and libiconv), links
with non-ASCII bytes are translated from their source encoding to UTF-8
before percent-encoding. IRI support was added by Saint Xavier
<wget@sxav.eu>, as his project for the Google Summer of Code.
** Wget now provides more sensible exit status codes when downloads
don't proceed as expected (see the manual).
** --default-page option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
support alternative default names for index.html.
** --ask-password option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
support password prompts at the console.
** The --input-file option now also handles retrieving links from
an external file.
** The output generated by the --version option now includes
information on how it was built, and the set of configure-time options
that were selected.
** --html-extension has been renamed to --adjust-extension, to reflect
the fact that it now also applies to CSS content. --html-extension is
still acceptable, but is now deprecated.
** An "ascii" specifier is now accepted by --restrict-file-names, which
forces the percent-encoding of all non-ASCII bytes
** Several previously existing, but undocumented .wgetrc options are
now documented: save_headers, spider, and user_agent,
auth_no_challenge, and keep_session_cookies. Also added documentation
for the "lowercase" and "uppercase" values for --restrict-file-names, which had been present since Wget 1.11.
* Changes in Wget 1.11.4
** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.
** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
locally with content.
** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
to a pointer-to-time_t.
** Translation updates for Catalan.
* Changes in Wget 1.11.3
** Downgraded -N with -O to a warning, rather than an error.
* Changes in Wget 1.11.2
** Fixed a problem in authenticating over HTTPS through a proxy.
(Regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2.)
** The combination of -r or -p with -O, which was disallowed in 1.11,
has been downgraded to a warning in 1.11.2. (-O and -N, which was never
meaningful, is still an error.)
** Further improvements to progress bar displays in non-English locales
(too many spaces could be inserted, causing the display to scroll).
** Successive invocations of Wget on FTP URLS, with --no-remove-listing
and --continue, was causing Wget to append, rather than replace,
information in the .listing file, and thereby download the same files
multiple times. This has been fixed in 1.11.2.
** Wget 1.11 no longer allowed ".." to persist at the beginning of URLs,
for improved conformance with RFC 3986. However, this behavior presents
problems for some FTP setups, and so they are now preserved again, for
FTP URLs only.
* Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
(regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
related assertion failure was fixed).
** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
useful for some limited cases.
** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.
** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
* Changes in Wget 1.11.
** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
rather than the first one it got.
** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
header in recursive fetches.
** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
** Wget now supports saving HTTP downloads using file names specified by
the `Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying
the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. However, the
current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
to enable it.
** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
-A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as
in the default progress bar. (The dot progress is used by default when
logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.)
** The "lockable boolean" argument type is no longer supported. It
was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting. If you're running
broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify
`--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them
by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp.
** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are
available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source
code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can
still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion
repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
