+* Changes in Wget 1.7.
+
+** SSL (`https') pages now work if you compile Wget with SSL support;
+use the `--with-ssl' configure flag.  You need to have OpenSSL
+installed.
+
+** "Keep-alive" (persistent) HTTP connections are now supported.  This
+means that multiple requests from the same hosts are now much faster.
+
+** Wget now recognizes FTP directory listings generated by NT and VMS
+servers.
+
+** It is now possible to recurse through FTP sites where logging in
+puts you in some directory other than '/'.
+
+** The HTML parser has been rewritten.  The new one works more
+reliably, allows finer-grained control over which tags and attributes
+are detected, and has better support for some features like correctly
+skipping comments and declarations, decoding entities, etc.  It is
+also more general.
+
+** <meta name="robots"> tags are now respected.
+
+** Wget's internal tables now use hash tables instead of linked lists
+where appropriate.  This results in huge speedups when retrieving
+large sites (thousands of documents).
+
+** Wget now has a man page, automatically generated from the Texinfo
+documentation.  (The last version that shipped with a man page was
+1.4.5).  To get this, you need to have pod2man from the Perl
+distribution installed on your system.

 * 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.
