 * Changes in Wget 1.9.
 
+** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
+requests.  For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
+send a POST request with the specified contents.
+
 ** IPv6 is experimentally supported.
 
 ** The `--timeout' option now affects the connect timeout as well.
@@ -19,6 +23,22 @@ The ETA is still based on the average speed, though.
 ** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK
 firewalls.  Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically
 log on to the proxy as "username@host".
+
+** The new option `--retry-connrefused' makes Wget retry downloads
+even in the face of refused connections, which are otherwise
+considered a fatal error.
+
+** The new option `--dns-cache=off' may be used to prevent Wget from
+caching DNS lookups.
+
+** The build process now requires Autoconf 2.5x.
+
+** Wget no longer quotes characters in local file names that would be
+considered "unsafe" as part of URL.  Quoting can still occur for
+control characters or for '/', but no longer for frequent characters
+such as space.  You can use the new option --restrict-file-names to
+enforce even stricter rules, which is useful when downloading to
+Windows partitions.

 * Wget 1.8.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
