+* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+
+** configure.in now requires autoconf >= 2.61, rather than 2.59.
+
+** 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 saves 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.
+
+** The GnuTLS library is now also supported for https downloads.
+This is still work-in-progress.  OpenSSL is still used by default; use
+--with-ssl=gnutls to build with GnuTLS.  OpenSSL is still required for
+NTLM authorization to work, but this should eventually change.
+
+** 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.)
+
+** The "lockable boolean" argument type is no longer supported.  It
+was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting.  If you're running
+broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify
+`--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'.

+** SSL/TLS changes:
+
+*** SSL/TLS downloads now attempt to verify the server's certificate
+against the recognized certificate authorities.  This requires CA
+certificates to have been installed in a location visible to the
+OpenSSL library.  If this is not the case, you can get the bundle
+yourself from a source you trust (for example, the bundle extracted
+from Mozilla available at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html),
+and point Wget to the PEM file using the `--ca-certificate'
+command-line option or the corresponding `.wgetrc' command.
+
+*** Secure downloads now verify that the host name in the URL matches
+the "common name" in the certificate presented by the server.
+
+*** Although the above checks provide more secure downloads, they
+unavoidably break interoperability with some sites that worked with
+previous versions, particularly those using self-signed, expired, or
+otherwise invalid certificates.  If you encounter "certificate
+verification" errors or complaints that "common name doesn't match
+requested host name" and are convinced of the site's authenticity, you
+can use `--no-check-certificate' to bypass both checks.
+
+*** Talking to SSL/TLS servers over proxies now actually works.
+Previous versions of Wget erroneously sent GET requests for https
+URLs.  Wget 1.10 utilizes the CONNECT method designed for this
+purpose.
+
+*** The SSL/TLS-related options have been redesigned and, for the
+first time, documented in the manual.  The old, undocumented, options
+are no longer supported.
