I'm not too comfortable with the idea of a windows binary based on the cvs sources for a already released version, confusion could easily arise due to different behaviour of the latest somewhat official released windows binary and the behaviour of the released 1.9 sources, the real problem being the fact most people on windows will not compile but use a ownloaded binary, while most people on unix will use the released 1.9 sources (or whatever the latest rpm included in their distribution is, probably based on the released 1.9 sources, not the latest 1.9 cvs sources). Or do ou prefer to wait another bit before a dot release ? Your judgement call, I'll happily compile this or that as you prefer.

I'm waiting until more bug reports arrive, so that the 1.9.1 code base can get as mature as possible. A dedicated 1.9 branch maintainer would help matters, but noone has volunteered, so I must maintain both branches myself. That doesn't help. > I'm not too comfortable with the idea of a windows binary based on > the cvs sources for a already released version, confusion could > easily arise due to different behaviour There is no difference in behavior. The 1.9 branch contains *only* bug fixes and possibly build changes. Yet I understand your reluctance.

This is a known bug in Wget 1.9 that has been fixed in the CVS sources. (See http://wget.sunsite.dk/ for information about the Wget CVS tree.) To get the stable sources that have this bug fixed, you might want to check out the head of the wget-1_9 branch in CVS. Heiko, how about creating a bugfix 1.9 release for Windows?
