 \f
+* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE).
+
+** Gnulib is now used to provide code for certain portability aspects in
+GNU Wget.
+
+** Wget uses Automake now as part of its build infrastructure.
+\f
 * Changes in Wget 1.11.
 
+** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are
+available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source
+code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can
+still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion
+repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
+
+** PATCH file removed; see http://wget.addictivecode.org/PatchGuidelines
+for current information about producing patches for GNU Wget.
+
+** TODO file removed: we use a bugtracker now; see
+http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker. Also,
+http://wget.addictivecode.org/FeatureSpecifications.
+
+** 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.
+
+** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
+for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
+RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
+assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
+just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
+Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
+automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
+
+** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
+be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
+
+** Wget now saves HTTP downloads using file names specified by the
+`Content-Disposition' header.  This is a standard way of specifying the
+file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. For the time
+being, Content-Disposition is not used by default, to avoid the extra
+round-trips incurred (must specify "-e contentdisposition=yes"); this
+may change in a future version. NOTE: This functionality is currently
+considered "experimental", and may not be fully functional.
+
+** The GnuTLS library is now also experimentally supported for https
+downloads.  This is still work-in-progress.  OpenSSL is still used by
+default; use --with-ssl=gnutls to build with GnuTLS.  OpenSSL is still
+required for NTLM authorization to work, but this should eventually
+change. NOTE: Certificate verification is _not_ currently supported:
+this means that you can currently only use GnuTLS to encrypt
+connections, but _not_ to verify that a host is who it claims to be. Use
+of OpenSSL is suggested until this missing feature is implemented.
+
+** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
+matching files, directories, and wildcards.  This affects the -X, -I,
+-A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
+
 ** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as
 in the default progress bar.  (The dot progress is used by default when
 logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.)
@@ -16,11 +77,6 @@ was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting.  If you're running
 broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify
 `--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them
 by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp.
