Wget 1.4.0 [formerly known as Geturl] is an extensive rewrite of
Geturl. Although many things look suspiciously similar, most of the
stuff was rewritten, like recursive retrieval, HTTP, FTP and mostly
everything else. Wget should be now easier to debug, maintain and,
most importantly, use.

News in Wget 1.4.0:

* Recursive HTTP should now work without glitches, even with Location
  changes, server-generated directory listings and other naughty
  stuff.

* HTTP regetting is supported on servers that support Range
  specification. WWW authorization is supported -- try
  wget http://user:password@hostname/

* FTP support was rewritten and widely enhanced. Globbing should now
  work flawlessly. Symbolic links are created locally. All the 
  information the Unix-style ls listing can give is now recognized.

* Recursive FTP is supported, e.g.
  wget -r ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/

* You can specify "rejected" directories, to which you do not want to
  enter, e.g. with wget -X /pub

* Time-stamping is supported, with both HTTP and FTP. Try wget -N URL.

* A new texinfo reference manual is provided.  It can be read with Emacs,
  standalone info, or converted to HTML, dvi or postscript.

* Fixed a long-standing bug, so that Wget now works over SLIP
  connections.

* You can have a system-wide wgetrc (/usr/local/lib/wgetrc by
  default). Settings in $HOME/.wgetrc override the global ones, of
  course :-)

* You can set up quota in .wgetrc to prevent sucking too much
  data. Try `quota = 5M' in .wgetrc (or quota = 100K if you want
  your sysadmin to like you).

* Download rate is printed after retrieval.

* Wget now sends the `Referer' header when retrieving
  recursively.

* With the new --no-parent option Wget can retrieve FTP recursively
  through a proxy server.

* HTML parser, as well as the whole of Wget was rewritten to be much
  faster and less memory-consuming (yes, both).

* Absolute links can be converted to relative links locally. Check
  wget -k.

* Wget catches hangup, filtering the output to a log file and
  resuming work. Try kill -HUP %?wget.

* User-defined headers can be sent. Try
  wget http://fly.cc.her.hr/ --header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2'

* Acceptance/Rejection lists may contain wildcards.

* Wget can display HTTP headers and/or FTP server response with the
  new `-S' option.  It can save the original HTTP headers with `-s'.

* socks library is now supported (thanks to Antonio Rosella
  <Antonio.Rosella@agip.it>). Configure with --with-socks.

* There is a nicer display of REST-ed output.

* Many new options (like -x to force directory hierarchy, or -m to
  turn on mirroring options).

* Wget is now distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL).

* Lots of small features I can't remember. :-)

* A host of bugfixes.
