 ** A new progress indicator is now available.  Try it with
 --progress=bar or using `progress = bar' in `.wgetrc'.
 
+** "Recursive retrieval" has been revamped:
+
+*** Wget now traverses links breadth-first.  This makes the
+calculation of depth much more reliable than before.  Also, recursive
+downloads are faster and consume *significantly* less memory than
+before.
+
+*** Links are converted only when the entire retrieval is complete.
+This is the only safe thing to do, as only then is it known what URLs
+have been downloaded.
+
+*** BASE tags are handled correctly when converting links.  Since Wget
+already resolves <base href="..."> when resolving handling URLs, link
+conversion now makes the BASE tags point to an empty string.
+
+** Host directories now contain port information if the URL is at a
+non-standard port.
+
+** Wget now supports the robots.txt directives specified in
+<http://info.webcrawler.com/mak/projects/robots/norobots-rfc.html>.
+
 ** URL parser has been fixed, especially the infamous overzealous
 quoting bug.  Wget no longer dequotes reserved characters, e.g. `%3F'
 is no longer translated to `?', nor `%2B' to `+'.  Unsafe characters
