I didn't see anything in NEWS, but the git log includes:
commit dd5c549f6af8e1143e1a6ef66725eea4bcd9ad50

Fixes #45790: wget prints it's progress even when background
* src/log.c: Use tcgetpgrp(STDIN_FILENO) != getpgrp() to determine
when to print to STD* or logfile.
Deprecate log_request_redirect_output function.
Use different file handles for STD* and logfile, to easily switch
between them when changing fg/bg.
I didn't do anything special for the just-built 1.19.1-2 released today,
but if you are still seeing the issue, is it only when you run 'wget
...&' in the background, or always? Could it be an issue with cygwin's
tcgetpgrp(STDIN_FILENO)?

I'm afraid that doing that may violate the intention of what was
supposed to be a fix. You may also want to raise the issue upstream.
