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.
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...
- 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.

files specified on the commandline. Made --convert-links be ignored when
--delete-after is specified. Added note about this fact to --delete-after docs
and made general improvements to them, including the clarification that
--delete-after only deletes local files.
I renamed to "lockable_boolean") in the .wgetrc (currently just passive_ftp).
Wrote documentation for his changes and added the missing "referer" to the
.wgetrc section (making mention of the issue of "referrer" being the correct
spelling).
* ftp.c (ftp_retrieve_list): Use new INFINITE_RECURSION #define.
* html.c: htmlfindurl() now takes final `dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter.
Wrapped some > 80-column lines. When -p is specified and we're at a
leaf node, do not traverse <A>, <AREA>, or <LINK> tags other than
<LINK REL="stylesheet">.
* html.h (htmlfindurl): Now takes final `dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter.
* init.c: Added new -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites option.
* main.c (print_help): Clarified that -l inf and -l 0 both allow
infinite recursion. Changed the unhelpful --mirrior description
to simply give the options it's equivalent to. Added new -p option.
(main): Added some comments; handle new -p / --page-requisites.
* options.h (struct options): Added new page_requisites field.
* recur.c: Changed "URL-s" to "URLs" and "HTML-s" to "HTMLs".
Calculate and pass down new `dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter to
get_urls_html(). Use new INFINITE_RECURSION #define.
* retr.c: Changed "URL-s" to "URLs". get_urls_html() now takes
final `dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter.
* url.c: get_urls_html() and htmlfindurl() now take final
`dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter.
* url.h (get_urls_html): Now takes final `dash_p_leaf_HTML' parameter.
* wget.h: Added some comments and new INFINITE_RECURSION #define.
* wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
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".
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.
usual shower meditation session this morning that I hadn't changed the text 'The
"wait" command above' when I moved waitretry up so "wait" no longer _is_ above.
Fixed to say "below" and got a little more wordy on the "linear backoff".
setting in the local section, which is prefaced by a comment saying that stuff
in there shouldn't be set in the global file. Moved the setting to the global
section.
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.
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.
* wget.texi (waitretry): Herold Heiko <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s
new option was undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
sent to the list.
download a single HTML document and all its constituents.
* po/*.{gmo,po,pot}: Regenerated after adding new options.
* po/hr.po: Hrvoje forgot '\n's on his translations of my altered messages,
causing msgfmt to balk and `make install' to fail.
* 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.
* html.c (idmatch): Implemented checking of my new --follow-tags and
--ignore-tags options.
* init.c (commands): Added comment reminding people adding new entries doing
allocation to add corresponding freeing in cleanup().
(commands): Added new followtags and ignoretags commands.
(cleanup): Free storage for new followtags and ignoretags.
* main.c: Use of "comma-separated list" was random -- normalized it. Did some
alphabetization. Added comments pointing out "Options without arguments" and
"Options accepting an argument" sections of long_options[]. Added new options
--follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags. Added comment that Damir's --referer is
currently undocumented. Added comment that Heiko's --waitretry is partially
undocumented (mentioned in --help but not in wget.texi). Moved improperly
sorted 24, 129, and 'G' cases.
* options.h (struct options): Added new fields follow_tags and ignore_tags.
* wget.h: Added "#define EQ 0" so we can say "strcmp(a, b) == EQ".
Got rid of newly-introduced nested-if warnings in ftp.c and http.c. Fixed
apparently completely untested code in main.c that was trying to provide --wait
/ --waitretry backwards compatibility, but had multiple fundamental bugs.
is available via anonymous CVS and desirable features are being added, it's
quite possible for end-users to be getting their hands on development versions.
They may report bugs, so if we don't change the version number, we'll have to
continually followup the statement "I'm using version 1.5.3" with the question
"The FTP archive or the CVS source?" Better to just make this development
version have a unique number. Once we're ready to actually release the next
version, we can up the version from 1.5.3+dev to 1.5.4, or 1.6, or whatever it
turns out to be (depending on how much development gets done).
Also made minor updates (dates, email addresses) to wget.texi.
