356 response to POST is "technically disallowed", which I cannot find
357 in rfc2616 nor in rfc1945. Even if that were technically the

572 2003-11-09 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@xemacs.org>

697 Reported by Herold Heiko.
699 2001-12-11 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

743 Reported by Wojtek Kotwica.
745 2001-11-17 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
747 * Makefile.in (install.info): If info files from the build
748 directory are not available, use the ones from $(srcdir).
750 2001-11-16 Peter Farmer <peter.farmer@zveno.com>
752 * Makefile.in: Use $? instead of $<. Use TEXI2POD more
755 2001-06-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

764 2001-06-15 Adam J. Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>
766 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): Make `make install'
767 non-interactive in all cases.
769 2001-06-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
771 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): Take $(DESTDIR) into account when
772 running mkinstalldirs.
774 2001-06-05 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
776 * Makefile.in (wget.info): Added -I$(srcdir) to support compilation
777 outside the source tree.
778 (install.man): Replaced $(srcdir)$(MAN) with $(MAN). The former
779 did not work when compiling outside the source tree.
781 2001-05-26 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
783 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.7.

794 2001-05-26 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
796 * wget.texi (Contributors): Updated list of contributors.
798 2001-05-26 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

815 2001-04-01 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
817 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Document more
818 accurately what --convert-links does.
820 2001-03-27 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
822 * Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
823 section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.
825 2001-03-26 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
827 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
828 to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
829 <FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
831 2001-03-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
833 * Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on
834 Solaris 2.6. Changed it to a ','. Defined top_builddir.
836 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
838 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
839 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
840 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
841 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
842 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
843 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
845 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
847 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
848 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
849 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
850 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
851 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
852 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
853 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
854 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
856 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
858 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
859 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
860 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
863 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
865 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
866 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
867 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
869 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
871 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
872 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
873 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
874 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
876 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
878 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
879 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
880 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
881 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
882 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
884 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
885 automatic manpage generation.
887 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
889 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
890 correction to the description of --continue.
892 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
894 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
895 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
897 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
899 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
901 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
902 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
903 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
904 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
905 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
906 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
908 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
909 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
910 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
912 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
913 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
914 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
915 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
917 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
919 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
920 but in the current build dir.
922 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
924 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
927 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
929 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
930 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
931 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
933 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
935 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
937 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
939 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
941 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
943 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
944 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
947 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
949 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
951 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
953 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
955 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
957 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
959 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
961 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
963 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
965 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
966 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
967 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
969 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
971 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
973 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
975 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
976 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
977 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
978 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
979 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
981 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
983 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
985 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
987 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
988 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
990 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
992 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
993 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
995 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
996 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
998 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
999 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
1001 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1003 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
1004 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
1005 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
1006 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
1007 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
1008 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
1009 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
1011 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1013 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
1014 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
1016 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1018 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
1019 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
1021 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1023 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
1025 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1027 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
1028 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
1030 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
1031 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
1032 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
1034 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
1035 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
1036 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
1037 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
1039 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1041 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
1042 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
1043 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
1044 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
1045 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
1047 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
1049 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
1050 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
1051 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
1054 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1056 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
1057 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
1058 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
1059 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
1060 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
1061 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
1062 ignore_tags commands.
1064 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
1066 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.

1074 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
1075 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
1077 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1079 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
1080 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
1081 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
1083 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
1085 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
1086 --backup-converted option.
