Announcing the release of version 1.11.1 of GNU Wget. This is mostly a
bugfix release to address regression issues in the previous version, GNU
Wget 1.11.

The source code is available available at
  - http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/
  - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/

Documentation is at
  - http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/

(Note, the documentation link above will NOT be updated to the new
version until probably around 0400 UTC.)

More information about Wget is on the official GNU web page at
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/, and on the Wget Wgiki,
http://wget.addictivecode.org/

NOTE: Wget is participating, as one of several GNU projects, in Google's
Summer of Code program. More information is at
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas.html#wget. If you are a
student who would be interested in working on Wget for their SoC
project, now is the time to apply (the deadline for submitting student
applications, which is done via the GSoC web app, is 2007-03-31; please
see http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html and
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/).


Here's the latest NEWS for Wget 1.11.1:

** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
(regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).

** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
related assertion failure was fixed).

** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).

** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
useful for some limited cases.

** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.

** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
