69 Reported by Wojtek Kotwica.
71 2001-11-17 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
73 * Makefile.in (install.info): If info files from the build
74 directory are not available, use the ones from $(srcdir).
76 2001-11-16 Peter Farmer <peter.farmer@zveno.com>
78 * Makefile.in: Use $? instead of $<. Use TEXI2POD more

98 running mkinstalldirs.
100 2001-06-05 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
102 * Makefile.in (wget.info): Added -I$(srcdir) to support compilation
103 outside the source tree.
104 (install.man): Replaced $(srcdir)$(MAN) with $(MAN). The former
105 did not work when compiling outside the source tree.

144 accurately what --convert-links does.
146 2001-03-27 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
148 * Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
149 section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.
151 2001-03-26 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
153 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
154 to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
155 <FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
157 2001-03-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
159 * Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on
160 Solaris 2.6. Changed it to a ','. Defined top_builddir.
162 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
164 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
165 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
166 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
167 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
168 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
169 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
171 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
173 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
174 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
175 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
176 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
177 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
178 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
179 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
180 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
182 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
184 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
185 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
186 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
189 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
191 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
192 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
193 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
195 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
197 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
198 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
199 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
200 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
202 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
204 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
205 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
206 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
207 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
208 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
210 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
211 automatic manpage generation.
213 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
215 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
216 correction to the description of --continue.
218 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
220 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
221 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
223 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
225 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
227 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
228 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
229 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
230 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
231 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
232 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
234 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
235 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
236 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
238 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
239 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
240 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
241 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
243 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
245 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
246 but in the current build dir.
248 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
250 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
253 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
255 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
256 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
257 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
259 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
261 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
263 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
265 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
267 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
269 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
270 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
273 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
275 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
277 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
279 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
281 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
283 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
285 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
287 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
289 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
291 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
292 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
293 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
295 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
297 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
299 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
301 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
302 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
303 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
304 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
305 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
307 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
309 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
311 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
313 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
314 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
316 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
318 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
319 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
321 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
322 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
324 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
325 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
327 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
329 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
330 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
331 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
332 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
333 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
334 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
335 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
337 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
339 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
340 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
342 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
344 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
345 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
347 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
349 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
351 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
353 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
354 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
356 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
357 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
358 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
360 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
361 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
362 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
363 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
365 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
367 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
368 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
369 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
370 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
371 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
373 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
375 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
376 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
377 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
380 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
382 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
383 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
384 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
385 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
386 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
387 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
388 ignore_tags commands.
390 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
392 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.
394 2000-03-02 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>
396 * wget.texi (Contributors): Update contributors list.
398 2000-03-01 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
400 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
401 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
403 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
405 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
406 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
407 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
409 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
411 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
412 --backup-converted option.
413 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented backup_converted equivalent.
415 1998-09-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr>
