* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+** 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.
+
+** The GnuTLS library is now also 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.
+
+** 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.)
