\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 1.11.1.
+
+** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
+(regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
+related assertion failure was fixed).
+
+** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
+know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
+
+** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
+authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
+useful for some limited cases.
+
+** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
+Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
+be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.
+
+** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
+lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
+\f
* Changes in Wget 1.11.
+** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
+rather than the first one it got.
+
+** 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 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,
+-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.)
`--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 migrated from CVS to Subversion. The
-repository is available at http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/; to
-checkout the trunk to a directory named `wget', use something like
-`svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/ wget'.
+** 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/.
\f
* Changes in Wget 1.10.
