-* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE).
+
+** 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

+* 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).
 
-** TODO file removed: we use a bugtracker now; see

+** 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.

 ** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
 rather than the first one it got.
 
-** 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.

-** The GnuTLS library is now also supported for https downloads.
-This is still work-in-progress.  OpenSSL is still used by default; use
