This reverts commit fcd3b3c473.
Turns out that removing the ChangeLog files causes the Wget build to
fail. While this issue is investigated and sorted out, the commit is
reversed to allow people to be able to build Wget from master
From v1.16.1 onwards, Wget no longer maintains an active ChangeLog file.
Instead the ChangeLog will be automatically generated on each release
through gnulib's gitlog-to-changelog script. However, the old versions
of the ChangeLog files are retained for reference. These files are
renamed with a .pre-gitlog appended to their filenames.
Also removed ChangeLog.README file which is not required anymore
Wget was susceptible to a symlink attack which could create arbitrary
files, directories or symbolic links and set their permissions when
retrieving a directory recursively through FTP. This commit changes the
default settings in Wget such that Wget no longer creates local symbolic
links, but rather traverses them and retrieves the pointed-to file in
such a retrieval.
The old behaviour can be attained by passing the --retr-symlinks=no
option to the Wget invokation command.
This commit introduces two new changes to how the progress bar looks:
1. Support the --progress=bar:noscroll option which will prevent the filename
from scrolling in the progress bar
2. Print human readable value for the amount already downloaded for any file
This is a relatively large commit that implements two major features:
1. Implement --show-progress switch to force the display of the progress bar in
any verbosity level
2. Edit the implementation of the progress bar so that the filename is displayed
in the same line.
This patch adds an option `--start-pos' for specifying starting position
of a HTTP or FTP download.

Added documentation for --regex-type and --preserve-permissions
options.
Fixed --preserve-permissions to work properly also if downloading a
single file from FTP.

Or rather, with the development version 4.13.90, which will eventually
become Texinfo 5.0.
* doc/wget.texi: Use '@item' instead of '@itemx' in several places,
as Texinfo 5 refuses to process an '@itemx' that is not preceded by an
'@item'.
