CSS support in Wget is thanks to Ted Mielczarek . +** Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC +3987). When support is enabled (requires libidn and libiconv), 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. --html-extension is +still acceptable, but is now deprecated. + +** 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
