removed. Hopefully all the failures I was seeing were due to the fact that it
wasn't documented that non-globbing, non-recursive FTP downloads need -N to get
the remote timestamp to be preserved.
* wget.texi: Moved -nr from "Recursive Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and
gave it a @cindex entry. Alphabetized FTP options by long option name.
* main.c (print_help): -nr belongs in "FTP options" section of --help output,
not "Recursive retrieval" section. Alphabetized FTP options by long option
name.
* Makefile.in (install): Do install.man if we have pod2man.
* 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).
number of bytes at the end of a file before resuming download. Apparently, some
stupid proxies insert a "transfer interrupted" string we need to get rid of.
you in a directory other than "/"? I don't see a src/ChangeLog entry for
it. In any case, my testing shows that it's fixed in 1.7-dev, but TODO and
a comment in src/ftp.c were not changed to reflect this.
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.
* NEWS: Released Wget version 1.6.
* po/*.po: 'Project-Id-Version's were very haphazard, saying
either "wget" or "GNU wget", and with versions of 1.5.2-b[124], 1.5.3, the
nonexistent 1.5.4, and 1.6-pre. Standardized all to "GNU Wget 1.7-dev".
Perhaps this is wrong to do because some of the translations haven't been
updated since the versions they state, but I know some of the files were updated
specifically for 1.6, and none of them used this version. In any case, the
'POT-Creation-Date's and 'PO-Revision-Date's remain the best indicator of
whether a translation's out of date.
- use mmap() to read whole files in core instead of allocating memory
and read'ing it.
- use a new, more general, HTML parser (html-parse.c) and interface to
it from Wget (html-url.c).
- respect <meta name=robots content=nofollow> (easy with the new HTML
parser).
- use hash tables instead of linked lists in places where the lists
were used to facilitate mappings.
- rewrite the code in host.c to be more readable and faster (hash
tables instead of home-grown lists.)
- make convert_links properly convert partial URLs to complete ones
for those URLs that have *not* been downloaded.
- use HTTP persistent connections where available. very
simple-minded, caches the last connection to the server.

* TODO: We need to check the HTTP spec w.r.t. simplification of absolute URLs.
* MAILING-LIST: I didn't realize <wget@sunsite.auc.dk> allowed posting by
non-subscribers. <bug-wget@gnu.org> soon to be an alias for it.
* NEWS: Always forget to update this file when making user-vis. changes.
