+* Changes in Wget 1.9+.
+
+** Wget no longer preserves permissions of files on FTP servers by
+default.  Anonymous FTP servers frequently use permissions like "664",
+which might not be what the user wants.  The new option
+`--preserve-permissions' and the corresponding `.wgetrc' variable can
+be used to revert to the old behavior.
+
+** Many options that previously unconditionally set or unset features
+are now boolean options that can be invoked as `--OPTION[=yes/no]' or
+with `--no-OPTION'.  This is useful because it allows you to specify
+non-default behavior via `.wgetrc' and then revert it again on the
+command-line.
+
+** The new option `--keep-session-cookies' causes `--save-cookies' to
+save session cookies along with the permanent ones.  This is useful on
+sites that require you to log in before you can access some pages.
+With this option, multiple Wget runs will be treated as a single
+browser session.
