After a lot of time of sitting in CVS, a beta of Wget 1.9 is
available. To see what's new since 1.8, check the `NEWS' file in the
distribution. Get it from:
http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/wget/wget-1.9-beta1.tar.gz
Please test it on as many different platforms as possible and in the
places where Wget 1.8.x is currently being used. I expect this
release to be extremely stable, but noone can guarantee that without
wider testing. I didn't want to call it "pre1" or "rc1" lest I anger
the Gods.
One important addition scheduled for 1.9 and *not* featured in this
beta are Mauro's IPv6 improvements. When I receive and merge Mauro's
changes, I'll release a new beta.
As always, thanks for your help.
