1 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
3 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
4 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
5 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
6 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
7 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
8 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
10 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
12 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
13 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
14 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
15 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
16 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
17 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
18 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
19 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
21 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
23 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
24 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
25 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
28 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
30 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
31 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
32 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
34 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
36 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
37 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
38 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
39 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
41 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
43 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
44 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
45 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
46 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
47 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
49 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
50 automatic manpage generation.
52 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
54 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
55 correction to the description of --continue.
57 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
59 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
60 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
62 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
64 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
66 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
67 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
68 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
69 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
70 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
71 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
73 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
74 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
75 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
77 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
78 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
79 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
80 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
82 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
84 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
85 but in the current build dir.
87 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
89 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
92 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
94 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
95 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
96 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
98 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
100 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
102 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
104 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
106 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
108 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
109 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
112 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
114 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
116 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
118 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
120 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
122 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
124 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
126 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
128 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
130 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
131 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
132 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
134 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
136 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
138 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
140 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
141 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
142 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
143 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
144 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
146 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
148 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
150 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
152 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
153 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
155 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
157 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
158 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
160 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
161 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
163 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
164 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
166 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
168 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
169 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
170 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
171 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
172 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
173 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
174 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
176 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
178 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
179 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
181 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
183 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
184 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
186 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
188 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
190 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
192 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
193 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
195 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
196 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
197 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
199 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
200 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
201 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
202 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
204 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
206 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
207 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
208 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
209 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
210 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
212 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
214 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
215 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
216 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
219 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
221 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
222 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
223 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
224 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
225 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
226 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
227 ignore_tags commands.
229 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
231 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.
233 2000-03-02 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>
235 * wget.texi (Contributors): Update contributors list.
237 2000-03-01 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
239 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
240 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
242 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
244 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
245 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
246 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
248 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
250 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
251 --backup-converted option.
252 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented backup_converted equivalent.
254 1998-09-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr>
