74 Reported by Wojtek Kotwica.
76 2001-11-17 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
78 * Makefile.in (install.info): If info files from the build
79 directory are not available, use the ones from $(srcdir).
81 2001-11-16 Peter Farmer <peter.farmer@zveno.com>
83 * Makefile.in: Use $? instead of $<. Use TEXI2POD more

97 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): Make `make install'
98 non-interactive in all cases.
100 2001-06-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
102 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): Take $(DESTDIR) into account when
103 running mkinstalldirs.
105 2001-06-05 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
107 * Makefile.in (wget.info): Added -I$(srcdir) to support compilation
108 outside the source tree.
109 (install.man): Replaced $(srcdir)$(MAN) with $(MAN). The former
110 did not work when compiling outside the source tree.
112 2001-05-26 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
114 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.7.

149 accurately what --convert-links does.
151 2001-03-27 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
153 * Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
154 section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.
156 2001-03-26 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
158 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
159 to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
160 <FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
162 2001-03-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
164 * Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on
165 Solaris 2.6. Changed it to a ','. Defined top_builddir.
167 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
169 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
170 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
171 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
172 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
173 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
174 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
176 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
178 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
179 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
180 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
181 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
182 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
183 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
184 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
185 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
187 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
189 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
190 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
191 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
194 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
196 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
197 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
198 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
200 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
202 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
203 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
204 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
205 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
207 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
209 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
210 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
211 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
212 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
213 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
215 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
216 automatic manpage generation.
218 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
220 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
221 correction to the description of --continue.
223 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
225 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
226 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
228 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
230 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
232 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
233 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
234 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
235 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
236 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
237 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
239 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
240 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
241 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
243 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
244 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
245 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
246 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
248 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
250 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
251 but in the current build dir.
253 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
255 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
258 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
260 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
261 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
262 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
264 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
266 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
268 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
270 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
272 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
274 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
275 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
278 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
280 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
282 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
284 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
286 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
288 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
290 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
292 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
294 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
296 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
297 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
298 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
300 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
302 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
304 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
306 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
307 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
308 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
309 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
310 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
312 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
314 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
316 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
318 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
319 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
321 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
323 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
324 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
326 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
327 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
329 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
330 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
332 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
334 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
335 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
336 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
337 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
338 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
339 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
340 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
342 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
344 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
345 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
347 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
349 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
350 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
352 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
354 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
356 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
358 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
359 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
361 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
362 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
363 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
365 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
366 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
367 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
368 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
370 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
372 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
373 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
374 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
375 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
376 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
378 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
380 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
381 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
382 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
385 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
387 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
388 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
389 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
390 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
391 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
392 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
393 ignore_tags commands.
395 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
397 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.
399 2000-03-02 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>
401 * wget.texi (Contributors): Update contributors list.
403 2000-03-01 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
405 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
406 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
408 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
410 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
411 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
412 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
414 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
416 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
417 --backup-converted option.
418 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented backup_converted equivalent.
420 1998-09-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr>
