-** A new progress indicator is now available.  Try it with
---progress=bar or using `progress = bar' in `.wgetrc'.
+** A new progress indicator is now available and used by default.
+You can choose the progress bar type with `--progress=TYPE'.  Two
+types are available, "bar" (the new default), and "dot" (the old
+dotted indicator).  You can permanently revert to the old progress
+indicator by putting `progress = dot' in your `.wgetrc'.
+
+** You can limit the download rate of the retrieval using the
+`--limit-rate' option.  For example, `wget --limit-rate=15k URL' will
+tell Wget not to download the body of the URL faster than 15 kilobytes
+per second.

+*** HTML anchors are now handled correctly.  Links to an anchor in the

+*** When in page-requisites (-p) mode, no-parent (-np) is ignored when

+relative.

 non-standard port.
