+* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE).
+
+** Gnulib is now used to provide code for certain portability aspects in
+GNU Wget.
+
+** Wget uses Automake now as part of its build infrastructure.
+\f
* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+** 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/.
+
+** PATCH file removed; see http://wget.addictivecode.org/PatchGuidelines
+for current information about producing patches for GNU Wget.
+
+** TODO file removed: we use a bugtracker now; see
+http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker. Also,
+http://wget.addictivecode.org/FeatureSpecifications.
+
** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
rather than the first one it got.
file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. For the time
being, Content-Disposition is not used by default, to avoid the extra
round-trips incurred (must specify "-e contentdisposition=yes"); this
-may change in a future version.
-
-** The GnuTLS library is now also supported for https downloads.
-This is still work-in-progress. OpenSSL is still used by default; use
---with-ssl=gnutls to build with GnuTLS. OpenSSL is still required for
-NTLM authorization to work, but this should eventually change.
+may change in a future version. NOTE: This functionality is currently
+considered "experimental", and may not be fully functional.

+** The GnuTLS library is now also experimentally supported for https
+downloads. This is still work-in-progress. OpenSSL is still used by
+default; use --with-ssl=gnutls to build with GnuTLS. OpenSSL is still
+required for NTLM authorization to work, but this should eventually
+change. NOTE: Certificate verification is _not_ currently supported:
+this means that you can currently only use GnuTLS to encrypt
+connections, but _not_ to verify that a host is who it claims to be. Use
+of OpenSSL is suggested until this missing feature is implemented.
** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
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 migrated from CVS to Subversion. The
-repository is available at http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/; to
-checkout the trunk to a directory named `wget', use something like
-`svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/ wget'.
