** Talking to SSL servers over proxies now actually works.
+** Wget no longer truncates partially downloaded files when download
+has to start over because the server doesn't support Range. Instead,
+with such servers Wget now simply ignores the data up to the byte
+where the last attempt left off, and only then continues appending to
+the file. That way the downloaded file never shrinks, and "start
+over" retries work correctly even when downloading to stdout.
+
** The `--header' option can now be used to override generated
headers. For example, `wget --header="Host: foo.bar"
http://127.0.0.1' tells Wget to connect to localhost, but to specify
"foo.bar" in the `Host' header. In previous versions such use of
`--header' lead to duplicate headers in HTTP requests.
+** The responses without headers, aka "HTTP 0.9" responses, are
+detected and handled. Although HTTP 0.9 has long been obsolete, it is
+still occasionally used, sometimes by accident.
+
** The progress bar is now updated regularly even when the data does
-not arrive.
+not arrive from the network.
** Wget no longer preserves permissions of files retrieved by FTP by
default. Anonymous FTP servers frequently use permissions like "664",
`--preserve-permissions' and the corresponding `.wgetrc' variable can
be used to revert to the old behavior.
+** The new option `--protocol-directories' instructs Wget to also use
+the protocol name as a directory component of local file names.
+
** Many options that previously unconditionally set or unset various
flags are now boolean options that can be invoked as either `--OPTION'
or `--no-OPTION'. Options that required an argument "on" or "off"
