+* 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.
+
+** configure.in now requires autoconf >= 2.61, rather than 2.59.
+
** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
header in recursive fetches.
be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
** Wget now saves HTTP downloads using file names specified by the
-`Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying
-the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages.
-
-** 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.
+`Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying the
+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. 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'.
