+** Many options that previously unconditionally set or unset features
+are now boolean options that can be invoked as `--OPTION[=yes/no]' or
+with `--no-OPTION'.  This is useful because it allows you to specify
+non-default behavior via `.wgetrc' and then revert it again on the
+command-line.
+
+** The new option `--keep-session-cookies' causes `--save-cookies' to
+save session cookies along with the permanent ones.  This is useful on
+sites that require you to log in before you can access some pages.
+With this option, multiple Wget runs will be treated as a single

+respectively.
 
 ** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data
 recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download.
