+* Changes in Wget 1.8.
+
+** "Recursive retrieval" now uses a breadth-first algorithm.
+Recursive downloads are faster and consume *significantly* less memory
+than before.
+
+** A new progress indicator is now available. Try it with
+--progress=bar or using `progress = bar' in `.wgetrc'.
+
+** Host directories now contain port information if the URL is at a
+non-standard port.
+
+** Wget now supports the robots.txt directives specified in
+<http://info.webcrawler.com/mak/projects/robots/norobots-rfc.html>.
+
+** URL parser has been fixed, especially the infamous overzealous
+quoting bug. Wget no longer dequotes reserved characters, e.g. `%3F'
+is no longer translated to `?', nor `%2B' to `+'. Unsafe characters
+which are not reserved are still escaped, of course.
