Someone told me that wget development had stalled ages ago. I should
have bothered to check for myself. Here's the announcement for the new
release:

<snip>
I am pleased to announce the new version of GNU wget.

It is available for download here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.14.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.14.tar.xz

and the GPG detached signatures using the key C03363F4:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.14.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.14.tar.xz.sig

To reduce load on the main server, you can use this redirector service
which automatically redirects you to a mirror:

http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.14.tar.gz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.14.tar.xz

* Noteworthy changes in Wget 1.14

** Add support for content-on-error.  It allows to store the HTTP
   payload on 4xx or 5xx errors.

** Add support for WARC files.

** Fix a memory leak problem in the GNU TLS backend.

** Autoreconf works again for distributed tarballs.

** Print some diagnostic messages to stderr not to stdout.

** Report stdout close errors.

** Accept the --report-speed option.

** Enable client certificates when GNU TLS is used.

** Add support for TLS Server Name Indication.

** Accept the arguments --accept-reject and --reject-regex.

** The GNU TLS backend honors correctly the timeout value.

** Add support for RFC 2617 Digest Access Authentication.

Many thanks to anyone who contributed to this release!

Please report any problem you may experience to the bug-wget at gnu.org
mailing list.

Have fun!
Giuseppe
