\f
+* Wget 1.11.1 is a bugfix release with no other user-visible changes.
+\f
* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE).
** Gnulib is now used to provide code for certain portability aspects in
\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.
** 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.
+** Wget now supports saving 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. However, the
+current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
+EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
+to enable it.
** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
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.

+** 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/.
