[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: wget-1.11.4-1


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A new release of wget, 1.11.4-1, is available for cygwin 1.5 users,
leaving 1.11.3-1 as previous.  For those testing cygwin 1.7, 1.11.4-2
replaces 1.11.3-2.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  A summary of upstream changes is
attached.  The version for cygwin 1.7 adds IPv6 and long file name
support.  See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/wget-1.11.4/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP, HTTPS,
or FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in the
background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of directories,
file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage and comparison,
use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers to retrieve files
over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy servers, and
configurability.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'wget' from
the 'Web' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

* Changes in Wget 1.11.4

** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.

** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
locally with content.

** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
to a pointer-to-time_t.

** Translation updates for Catalan.
