+* 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.

* Changes in Wget 1.9.
** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
requests. For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
send a POST request with the specified contents.
-** IPv6 is experimentally supported.
+** IPv6 support is available, although it's still experimental.
** The `--timeout' option now also affects DNS lookup and establishing
the TCP connection. Previously it only affected reading and writing
