Please send GNU Wget bug reports to . -* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE). +* Changes in Wget 1.12 -** Gnulib is now used to provide code for certain portability aspects in -GNU Wget. +** Mailing list MOVED to bug-wget@gnu.org -** Wget uses Automake now as part of its build infrastructure. +** SECURITY FIX: It had been possible to trick Wget into accepting +SSL certificates that don't match the host name, through the trick of +embedding NUL characters into the certs' common name. + +** Added support for CSS. This includes: + - Parsing links from CSS files, and from CSS content found in HTML + style tags and attributes. + - Supporting conversion of links found within CSS content, when + --convert-links is specified. + - Ensuring that CSS files end in the ".css" filename extension, + when --convert-links is specified. + + CSS support in Wget is thanks to Ted Mielczarek + . + +** Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC +3987). When support is enabled (default), links with non-ASCII bytes +are translated from their source encoding to UTF-8 before percent-encoding. + + IRI support was added by Saint Xavier , as his + project for the Google Summer of Code. + +** Wget now provides more sensible exit status codes when downloads +don't proceed as expected (see the manual). + +** --default-page option (and associated wgetrc command) added to +support alternative default names for index.html. + +** --ask-password option (and associated wgetrc command) added to +support password prompts at the console. + +** The --input-file option now also handles retrieving links from +an external file. + +** The output generated by the --version option now includes +information on how it was built, and the set of configure-time options +that were selected. + +** --html-extension has been renamed to --adjust-extension, to reflect +the fact that it now also applies to CSS content.. + +** An "ascii" specifier is now accepted by --restrict-file-names, which +forces the percent-encoding of all non-ASCII bytes + +** Several previously existing, but undocumented .wgetrc options are +now documented: save_headers, spider, and user_agent, +auth_no_challenge, and keep_session_cookies. Also added documentation +for the "lowercase" and "uppercase" values for --restrict-file-names, which had been present since Wget 1.11. + +* Changes in Wget 1.11.4 + +** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to +download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist. + +** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the +remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists +locally with content. + +** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long +to a pointer-to-time_t. + +** Translation updates for Catalan. + +* Changes in Wget 1.11.3 + +** Downgraded -N with -O to a warning, rather than an error. + +** Translation updates + +* Changes in Wget 1.11.2 + +** Fixed a problem in authenticating over HTTPS through a proxy. +(Regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2.) + +** The combination of -r or -p with -O, which was disallowed in 1.11, +has been downgraded to a warning in 1.11.2. (-O and -N, which was never +meaningful, is still an error.) + +** Further improvements to progress bar displays in non-English locales +(too many spaces could be inserted, causing the display to scroll). + +** Successive invocations of Wget on FTP URLS, with --no-remove-listing +and --continue, was causing Wget to append, rather than replace, +information in the .listing file, and thereby download the same files +multiple times. This has been fixed in 1.11.2. + +** Wget 1.11 no longer allowed ".." to persist at the beginning of URLs, +for improved conformance with RFC 3986. However, this behavior presents +problems for some FTP setups, and so they are now preserved again, for +FTP URLs only. * Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
