+** The HTML parser has been rewritten. The new one works more
+reliably, allows finer-grained control over which tags and attributes

+also more general.

+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.
