After several months of inactivity, prerelease 2 of Wget 1.7.1 is available for testing.
Get it from: ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/.betas/wget-1.7.1-pre2.tar.gz (The `.betas' directory is intentionally unreadable, but the file is there.) The intention behind the 1.7.1 release is to be a pure bugfix release for 1.7. Ideally, it will allow us not to worry about 1.7 while working on new features in 1.8. Special thanks goes to people who have provided the patches during the past several months, considerably raising the quality of the new release.
