-* Changes in Wget 1.5.3+dev
+* Changes in Wget 1.6
+
+** Administrative changes.
+
+*** Maintainership. Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
+Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer. Hrvoje still participates
+occasionally, and both are being helped by many other people.
+
+*** Web page. Thanks to Jan Prikryl, Wget has an "official" web page.
+Take a look at:
+
+ http://sunsite.dk/wget/
+
+*** Anonymous CVS. Thanks to ever-helpful Karsten Thygesen, Wget
+sources are now available at an anonymous CVS server. Take a look at
+the web page for downloading instructions.
** New -K / --backup-converted / backup_converted = on option causes files
modified due to -k to be saved with a .orig prefix before being changed. When
using -N as well, it is these .orig files that are compared against the server.
+
+** New --follow-tags / follow_tags = ... option allows you to restrict
+Wget to following only certain HTML tags when doing a recursive
+retrieval. -G / --ignore-tags / ignore_tags = ... is just the
+opposite -- all tags but the ones you specify will be followed.
+
+** New --waitretry / waitretry = SECONDS option allows waiting between retries
+of failed downloads. Wget will use "linear" backoff, waiting 1 second after the
+first failure, 2 after the second, up to SECONDS. waitretry is set to 10 by
+default in the system wgetrc.
+
+** New -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites = on option causes
+Wget to download all ancillary files necessary to display a given HTML
+page properly (e.g. inlined images).
+
+** New -E / --html-extension / html_extension = on option causes Wget
+to append ".html" to text/html filenames not ending in regexp
+"\.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?".
+
+** New type of .wgetrc command -- "lockable Boolean". Can be set to on, off,
+always, or never. This allows the .wgetrc to override the commandline. So far,
+passive_ftp is the only .wgetrc command which takes a lockable Boolean.
+
+** A number of new translation files have been added.
+
+** New --bind-address / bind_address = <address> option for people on hosts
+bound to multiple IP addresses.
+
+** wget now accepts (illegal per HTTP spec) relative URLs in HTTP redirects.
