56 Reported by Wojtek Kotwica.
58 2001-11-17 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
60 * Makefile.in (install.info): If info files from the build
61 directory are not available, use the ones from $(srcdir).
63 2001-11-16 Peter Farmer <peter.farmer@zveno.com>
65 * Makefile.in: Use $? instead of $<. Use TEXI2POD more

82 2001-06-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
84 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): Take $(DESTDIR) into account when
85 running mkinstalldirs.
87 2001-06-05 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
89 * Makefile.in (wget.info): Added -I$(srcdir) to support compilation
90 outside the source tree.
91 (install.man): Replaced $(srcdir)$(MAN) with $(MAN). The former
92 did not work when compiling outside the source tree.

111 2001-05-26 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

128 2001-04-01 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
130 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Document more
131 accurately what --convert-links does.
133 2001-03-27 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
135 * Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
136 section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.
138 2001-03-26 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
140 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
141 to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
142 <FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
144 2001-03-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
146 * Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on
147 Solaris 2.6. Changed it to a ','. Defined top_builddir.
149 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
151 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
152 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
153 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
154 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
155 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
156 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
158 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
160 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
161 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
162 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
163 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
164 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
165 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
166 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
167 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
169 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
171 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
172 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
173 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
176 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
178 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
179 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
180 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
182 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
184 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
185 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
186 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
187 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
189 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
191 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
192 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
193 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
194 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
195 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
197 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
198 automatic manpage generation.
200 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
202 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
203 correction to the description of --continue.
205 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
207 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
208 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
210 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
212 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
214 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
215 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
216 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
217 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
218 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
219 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
221 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
222 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
223 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
225 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
226 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
227 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
228 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
230 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
232 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
233 but in the current build dir.
235 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
237 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
240 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
242 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
243 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
244 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
246 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
248 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
250 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
252 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
254 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
256 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
257 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
260 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
262 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
264 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
266 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
268 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
270 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
272 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
274 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
276 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
278 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
279 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
280 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
282 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
284 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
286 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
288 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
289 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
290 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
291 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
292 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
294 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
296 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
298 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
300 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
301 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
303 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
305 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
306 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
308 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
309 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
311 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
312 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
314 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
316 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
317 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
318 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
319 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
320 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
321 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
322 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
324 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
326 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
327 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
329 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
331 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
332 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
334 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
336 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
338 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
340 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
341 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
343 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
344 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
345 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
347 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
348 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
349 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
350 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
352 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
354 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
355 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
356 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
357 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
358 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
360 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
362 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
363 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
364 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
367 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
369 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
370 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
371 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
372 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
373 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
374 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
375 ignore_tags commands.
377 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
379 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.
381 2000-03-02 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>
383 * wget.texi (Contributors): Update contributors list.
385 2000-03-01 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
387 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
388 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
390 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
392 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
393 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
394 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
396 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
398 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
399 --backup-converted option.
400 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented backup_converted equivalent.
402 1998-09-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr>
