+* 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.
+
+* Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
+
+** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
+lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
+
+** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
+related assertion failure was fixed).
+
+** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
+know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
+(regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
+authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
+useful for some limited cases.
+
 * Changes in Wget 1.11.
 
-** 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.
+** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
+rather than the first one it got.
+
+** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
+header in recursive fetches.
+
+** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
+for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
+RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
+assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
+just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
+Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
+automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
+
+** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
+be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
+
+** Wget now supports saving 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. However, the
+current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
+EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
+to enable it.
 
 ** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
 matching files, directories, and wildcards.  This affects the -X, -I,

 `--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'.
+** 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/.
