Please send GNU Wget bug reports to . -* Changes in Wget (MAINLINE). +* Changes in Wget 1.12 (MAINLINE) + +** --default-page option added to support alternative default names for +index.html. + +** 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 + . + +** --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. + +* 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). -** Gnulib is now used to provide code for certain portability aspects in -GNU Wget. +** 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 uses Automake now as part of its build infrastructure. +** 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. +** 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 over 1.10.2). +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. * Changes in Wget 1.11.
