 \f
+* Changes in Wget 1.7-dev
+
+** It is now possible to recurse through FTP sites where logging in puts you in
+some directory other than '/'.
+
+** "Keep-Alive" connections are now supported.
+
+** https URLs are now supported if you link wget with OpenSSL.
+
+** <meta name="robots"> tags are now respected.
+\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.6
+
+** Administrative changes.
+
+*** Maintainership.  Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
+Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer (not that he doesn't have a real job
+as well).  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.
+\f
 * Wget 1.5.3 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
 \f
 * Wget 1.5.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
