-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A new release of wget, 1.11.3-1, is available, leaving 1.10.2-2 as previous.
NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. A summary of upstream changes is attached. This version is built for cygwin 1.5.x, and thus does not support IPv6 (I will also provide 1.11.3-2 for people testing the eventual cygwin 1.7.0 release). See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/wget-1.11.3/. DESCRIPTION: ============ GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in the background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy servers, and configurability. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'wget' from the 'Web' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin wget maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

* 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. ** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer header in recursive fetches. ** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued, for improved security. Authentication handling is still not RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not just the ones at or below the original authenticated location. Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued 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 supports saving HTTP downloads using file names specified by the `Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. However, the current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition to enable it. ** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I, -A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs. ** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as in the default progress bar. (The dot progress is used by default when logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.) ** The "lockable boolean" argument type is no longer supported. It was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting. If you're running broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify `--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp. ** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
