\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.12
+
+** Mailing list MOVED to bug-wget@gnu.org
+
+** Added support for CSS. This includes:
+ - Parsing links from CSS files, and from CSS content found in HTML
+ style tags and attributes.
+ - Supporting conversion of links found within CSS content, when
+ --convert-links is specified.
+ - Ensuring that CSS files end in the ".css" filename extension,
+ when --convert-links is specified.
+
+ CSS support in Wget is thanks to Ted Mielczarek
+ <ted.mielczarek@gmail.com>.
+
+** Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC
+3987). When support is enabled (default), links with non-ASCII bytes
+are translated from their source encoding to UTF-8 before percent-encoding.
+
+ IRI support was added by Saint Xavier <wget@sxav.eu>, as his
+ project for the Google Summer of Code.
+
+** --default-page option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
+support alternative default names for index.html.
+
+** --ask-password option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
+support password prompts at the console.
+
+** The --input-file option now also handles retrieving links from
+an external file.
+
+** The output generated by the --version option now includes
+information on how it was built, and the set of configure-time options
+that were selected.
+
+** Several previously existing, but undocumented .wgetrc options
+are now documented: save_headers, spider, and user_agent.
+\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.11.4
+
+** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
+download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.
+
+** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
+remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
+locally with content.
+
+** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
+to a pointer-to-time_t.
+
+** Translation updates for Catalan.
+\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.11.3
+
+** Downgraded -N with -O to a warning, rather than an error.
+
+** Translation updates
+\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.11.2
+
+** Fixed a problem in authenticating over HTTPS through a proxy.
+(Regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2.)
+
+** The combination of -r or -p with -O, which was disallowed in 1.11,
+has been downgraded to a warning in 1.11.2. (-O and -N, which was never
+meaningful, is still an error.)
+
+** Further improvements to progress bar displays in non-English locales
+(too many spaces could be inserted, causing the display to scroll).
+
+** Successive invocations of Wget on FTP URLS, with --no-remove-listing
+and --continue, was causing Wget to append, rather than replace,
+information in the .listing file, and thereby download the same files
+multiple times. This has been fixed in 1.11.2.
+
+** Wget 1.11 no longer allowed ".." to persist at the beginning of URLs,
+for improved conformance with RFC 3986. However, this behavior presents
+problems for some FTP setups, and so they are now preserved again, for
+FTP URLs only.
+\f
+* Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
+
+** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
+(regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
+related assertion failure was fixed).
+
+** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
+know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
+authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
+useful for some limited cases.
+
+** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
+Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
+be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.
+
+** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
+lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
+\f
* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
+rather than the first one it got.
+
+** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
+header in recursive fetches.
+
+** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
+for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
+RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
+assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
+just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
+Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
+automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
+
+** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
+be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
+
+** Wget now supports saving HTTP downloads using file names specified by
+the `Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying
+the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. However, the
+current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
+EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
+to enable it.
+
+** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
+matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
+-A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
+
** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as
in the default progress bar. (The dot progress is used by default when
logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.)
`--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them
by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp.
-** The source code has migrated from CVS to Subversion. The
-repository is available at http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/; to
-checkout the trunk to a directory named `wget', use something like
-`svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/ wget'.
+** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are
+available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source
+code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can
+still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion
+repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
