	* Makefile.in (install.info): If info files from the build
	directory are not available, use the ones from $(srcdir).

2001-11-16  Peter Farmer  <peter.farmer@zveno.com>

2001-03-27  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
	section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.

2001-03-26  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
	to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
	<FRAMESET> page.  Also made a few other wording improvements.
	
2001-03-17  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on 
	Solaris 2.6.  Changed it to a ','.  Defined top_builddir.
	
2001-02-23  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
	time-stamping documentation.  Also moved -nr from "Recursive
	Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
	Alphabetized FTP options by long option name.  Mentioned that
	.listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
	other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
	
2001-02-22  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
 	pod2man.  Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s.  Added missing
 	dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
 	install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
  	Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
 	available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
 	satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
 	fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.

	* texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS.  Now automatically generated.
		
	* texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
 	getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
 	system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
 	arrive executable).
	
2001-02-19  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
 	documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
 	usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.

2001-01-06  Jan Prikryl  <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>

	* wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
	bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
	alias for the mailing ist anyway.  
	(Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
	
	* wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
	
	* Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
	texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
	Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
	automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
	'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
	
	* texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
	automatic manpage generation.
	    
2001-01-09  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
 	correction to the description of --continue.

2001-01-06  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
	the best way to go about my aim.  Removed them in favor of:

	* ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
	
2000-12-31  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
	needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
	due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
	regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
	unnecessarily.	We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
	distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
	
	* wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
	"UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000".  Like the comment in the
	file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
	
	* ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
	looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
	1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch.  Added "[Not
	in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
        
2000-12-10  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
	but in the current build dir.

2000-11-15  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
	exclusion.

2000-11-16  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
	Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
	Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
	appropriate.
	Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.

2000-11-15  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text.  Mention the meta tag.

2000-11-14  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.

	* wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
	makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
	parentheses.

2000-11-10  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.

2000-11-05  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).

2000-11-05  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.

2000-10-23  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@arsdigita.com>

	* wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.

2000-10-23  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
	(Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
	(Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
	
2000-10-20  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
	
2000-10-19  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
	(Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
	John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
	Boolean").  When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
	add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
	
2000-10-09  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.

2000-08-30  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
	(Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
	
2000-08-23  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
	downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.

	* wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
	documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.

	* wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of 
	", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".

2000-08-22  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
 	severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation.  Some of the
 	previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
 	numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
 	time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
 	elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
 	out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.

2000-07-17  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
 	single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.

2000-05-22  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
 	not document his new --referer option.  Did so.

2000-04-18  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
	
2000-04-13  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
	build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
	
	* sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
	some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
	@sample indentation in wget.texi.

	* wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
	-- reworded docs again.  Changed note saying _all_ lines in
	sample.wgetrc are commented out.  Don't have an entire hand-
	cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.

2000-04-12  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
 	that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
 	times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc.  Added
 	blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
 	acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
	
	* sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.

	* wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
 	<Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
 	undocumented until now.  Reworded the suggested documentation he
 	sent to the list.

2000-03-10  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
 	added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
	(Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
	descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
	(Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
	(Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
 	ignore_tags commands.

2000-03-02  Daniel S. Lewart  <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>

	* wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.

2000-03-02  Hrvoje Niksic  <hniksic@iskon.hr>

	2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
	and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.

2000-02-18  Dan Harkless  <wget@harkless.org>

	* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
 	--backup-converted option.
