It's easy to forget to write NEWS file entries for significant user-visible
changes. I just created the 1.7-dev section and added the significant
user-visible stuff that I could think of. If there are things that I
missed, please speak up (or just modify NEWS yourself, if you're one of
those endowed with that power ;^>).
I've sent this to wget rather than wget-patches to get more eyeballs on it,
and to recommend that people writing patches that implement significant
user-visible stuff also write a NEWS item. I'll update the web page to say
this as well. Always better to update NEWS as news is being made, rather
than relying on memory later.
