+** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
+requests.  For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
+send a POST request with the specified contents.
+
+** IPv6 is experimentally supported.
+
+** The `--timeout' option now affects the connect timeout as well.
+Previously it only affected reading and writing data.
+
+** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data
+recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download.
+The ETA is still based on the average speed, though.
+
+** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK
+firewalls.  Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically
+log on to the proxy as "username@host".
