-* Changes in Wget 1.7-dev
+* Changes in Wget 1.7.
-** Wget now has a man page again (last version with one was 1.4.5). It is
-automatically generated if you have pod2man installed (comes with Perl 5).
+** SSL (`https') pages now work if you compile Wget with SSL support;
+use the `--with-ssl' configure flag. You need to have OpenSSL
+installed.
-** Wget can now recognize FTP directory listings from some non-Unix
-servers. Currently Windows NT is supported.
+** "Keep-alive" (persistent) HTTP connections are now supported. This
+means that multiple requests from the same hosts are now much faster.
+
+** Wget now recognizes FTP directory listings generated by NT and VMS
+servers.
** It is now possible to recurse through FTP sites where logging in
puts you in some directory other than '/'.
-** "Keep-Alive" connections are now supported.
-
-** https (SSL) URLs are now supported if you link wget with OpenSSL.
-
** The HTML parser has been rewritten. The new one works more
reliably, allows finer-grained control over which tags and attributes
are detected, and has better support for some features like correctly
where appropriate. This results in huge speedups when retrieving
large sites (thousands of documents).
-** Wget now mmaps the files it needs to read instead of allocating
-heap memory to read them.
+** Wget now has a man page, automatically generated from the Texinfo
+documentation. (The last version that shipped with a man page was
+1.4.5). To get this, you need to have pod2man from the Perl
+distribution installed on your system.
