GNU Wget NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.24.5 (2024-03-10) [stable]

** Fix how subdomain matches are checked for HSTS.
   Fixes a minor issue where cookies may be leaked to the wrong domain

** Wget will now also parse the srcset attribute in <source> HTML tags

** Support reading fetchmail style "user" and "passwd" fields from netrc

** In some cases, prevent the confusing "Cannot write to... (success)" error messages

** Support extremely fast download speeds (TB/s).
   Previously this would cause Wget to crash when printing the speed

** Improve portability on OpenBSD to run the test suite

** Ensure that CSS URLs are corectly quoted (Bug: 64082)


* Noteworthy changes in release 1.21.4 (2023-05-11)

** Document --retry-on-host-error in help text

** Increase read buffer size to 64k. This should speed up downloads on gigabit and faster connections

** Update deprecated option '--html-extension' to '--adjust-extension' in documentation

** Update gnulib compatibility layer.
   Fixes HSTS test failures on i686. (Thanks to Andreas Enge for ponting it out)


* Noteworthy changes in release 1.21.3 (2022-02-26)

** Fix computation of total bytes downloaded during FTP trasnfers (#61277)

** Add option to select TLS 1.3 on the command line

** Fix HSTS build issues on some 64-bit big-endian systems

** Hide password during status report in --no-verbose

** Remove a sprurious print statement that showed up even during --quiet

** Some more cleanups and bug-fixes


* Noteworthy changes in release 1.21.2 (2021-09-07)

** Support for autoconf 2.71

** Fix a double free in FTP when using an absolute path

** Release tarballs no longer have a dependency on Python.

** --page-requisites will now also download links marked as "alternate
   stylesheet" or "icon"


* Noteworthy changes in release 1.21.1 (2021-01-09)

** Fix compilation on MacOS and Solaris 9

** Resove bashism from configure.ac

** Fix a compilation warning on 32-bit systems


* Changes in Wget 1.21

** Improve the number of translated strings

** Remove all uses of alloca
   In some places the length of untrusted strings has been used, e.g.
   strings from the command line or from remote.

** Fix buffer overflows in progress bar code in some locales

** Fix two null pointer accesses

** Amend cookie file header to be recognized by the 'file' command

** Post Handshake Authentication for OpenSSL

** Require gettext version 0.19.3+

** Add configure flags --enable-fsanitize-ubsan, --enable-fsanitize-asan
   and --enable-fsanitize-msan for gcc and clang

** Make several smaller fixes, enhance fuzzing, enhance building


* Changes in Wget 1.20.3

** Fixed a buffer overflow vulnerability


* Changes in Wget 1.20.2

** NTLM authentication will retry under certain cases


* Changes in Wget 1.20.1

** --xattr is no longer default since it introduces privacy issues.

** --xattr saves the Referer as scheme/host/port, user/pw/path/query/fragment
   are no longer saved to prevent privacy issues.

** --xattr saves the Original URL without user/password to prevent
   privacy issues.


* Changes in Wget 1.20

** Add new option `--retry-on-host-error` to treat local errors as transient
and hence Wget will retry to download the file after a brief waiting period.

** Fixed multiple potential resource leaks as found by static analysis

** Wget will now not create an empty wget-log file when running with -q and -b
switches together

** When compiled using the GnuTLS >= 3.6.3, Wget now has support for TLSv1.3

** Now there is support for using libpcre2 for regex pattern matching

** When downloading over FTP recursively, one can now use the
--{accept,reject}-regex switches to fine-tune the downloaded files

** Building Wget from the git sources now requires autoconf 2.63 or above.
Building from the Tarballs works as it used to.
