Close CVE-2010-2252. This introduces a + backward-incompatibility; any script that relies on the old + behaviour must use --trust-server-names. + +** Fix a problem when -k is used and some URLs are specified trough + CSS. + +** Convert correctly URLs that need to be encoded to local files when following + links. + +** Use persistent connections with proxies supporting them. + +** Print the total download time as part of the summary for recursive downloads. + +** Now it is possible to specify a different startup configuration file trough + the --config option. + +** Fix an infinite loop with the error ' has sprung into existence' + on a network error and -nc is used. + +** Now --adjust-extension does not modify the file extension if the file ends + in .htm. + +** Support HTTP/1.1 307 redirects keep request method. + +** Now --no-parent doesn't fetch undesired files if HTTP and HTTPS are used + by the same host on different pages. + +** Do not attempt to remove the file if it is not in the accept rules but + it is the output destination file. + +** Introduce `show_all_dns_entries' to print all IP addresses corresponding to + a DNS name when it is resolved. -* Changes in Wget 1.11. +* Changes in Wget 1.12 + +** Mailing list MOVED to bug-wget@gnu.org + +** 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. Fixed by Joao +Ferreira . + +** 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 (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). -** TODO file removed: we use a bugtracker now; see -http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker. Also, -http://wget.addictivecode.org/FeatureSpecifications. +** --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 + +** 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. + +** 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. + +* Changes in Wget 1.11. ** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response, rather than the first one it got. -** configure.in now requires autoconf >= 2.61, rather than 2.59. - ** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer header in recursive fetches. @@ -35,22 +209,12 @@ 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 saves HTTP downloads using file names specified by the -`Content-Disposition' header.
