Attention if you want to compile your own: there still is the
configure.bat.in file - usually in released packages that was renamed
already to configure.bat .

> A summary of the user-visible changes since 1.8, borrowed from `NEWS',
> follows:
>
> * Changes in Wget 1.9.
>
> ** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
> requests. For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
> send a POST request with the specified contents.
>
> ** IPv6 support is available, although it's still experimental.
>
> ** The `--timeout' option now also affects DNS lookup and establishing
> the TCP connection. Previously it only affected reading and writing
> data. Those three timeouts can be set separately using
> `--dns-timeout', `--connection-timeout', and `--read-timeout',
> respectively.
>
> ** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data
> recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download.
> The ETA projection is still based on the overall average.
>
> ** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK
> firewalls. Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically
> log on to the proxy as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
>
> ** The new option `--retry-connrefused' makes Wget retry downloads
> even in the face of refused connections, which are otherwise
> considered a fatal error.
>
> ** The new option `--dns-cache=off' may be used to prevent Wget from
> caching DNS lookups.
>
> ** Wget no longer escapes characters in local file names based on
> whether they're appropriate in URLs. Escaping can still occur for
> nonprintable characters or for '/', but no longer for frequent
> characters such as space. You can use the new option
> --restrict-file-names to relax or strengthen these rules, which can be
> useful if you dislike the default or if you're downloading to
> non-native partitions.
>
> ** Handling of HTML comments has been dumbed down to conform to what
> users expect and other browsers do: instead of being treated as SGML
> declaration, a comment is terminated at the first occurrence of "-->".
> Use `--strict-comments' to revert to the old behavior.
>
> ** Wget now correctly handles relative URIs that begin with "//", such
> as "//img.foo.com/foo.jpg".
>
> ** Boolean options in `.wgetrc' and on the command line now accept
> values "yes" and "no" along with the traditional "on" and "off".
>
> ** It is now possible to specify decimal values for timeouts, waiting
> periods, and download rate. For instance, `--wait=0.5' now works as
> expected, as does `--dns-timeout=0.5' and even `--limit-rate=2.5k'.
