 flags `--inet4' and `--inet6' (or `-4' and `-6' for short) force the
 use of IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
 
+** Talking to SSL servers over proxies now actually works.
+
+** The `--header' option can now be used to override generated
+headers.  For example, `wget --header="Host: foo.bar"
+http://127.0.0.1' tells Wget to connect to localhost, but to specify
+"foo.bar" in the `Host' header.  In previous versions such use of
+`--header' lead to duplicate headers in HTTP requests.
+
+** The responses without headers, aka "HTTP 0.9" responses, are
+detected and handled.  Although HTTP 0.9 has long been obsolete, it is
+still occasionally encountered.  (Popular browsers still support it,
+so clueless authors of dynamic pages who forget to emit headers don't
+notice anything wrong.)

 ** The progress bar is now updated regularly even when the data does
 not arrive.
